About

Hi, my name is Anokh Palakurthi, also known as Edwin Budding. I write about competitive gaming, politics, and entertainment – for examples of my work, please check out what I’ve written for Deadspin, Red Bull, Tempo Storm, Melee Stats, and this very website.

Recently, I wrote and published a book delving into the history of competitive Super Smash Bros. Melee, titled, “The Book of Melee.” I also produce, write, and edit films for the Melee Stats YouTube channel, including “Hanky Panky – The Greatest Melee Player Nobody Knows.”

To contact me, please reach out via email or DM me on Twitter.
