Longshoreman X

Longshoreman X is the oldest player still active in the Fists of Fire scene. Though the exact date at which he first touched a Jackie Chan machine remains a mystery, rumors of more than 30 years of experience surround this master of the fiery fists.

Early Life
Longshoreman X was born Balthazar Wentlebottom III on the mean streets of Lower Kentucky, a town know for having the meanest of streets and the finest of shores. He felt a calling to the ocean early on, but soon realized, having spent several whole hours on a boat, that his calling lie in the virtual arena. Somehow, his nickname "Longshoreman" stuck, and soon after his conversion to gaming, he changed the rest of his name to "X".

Someone pointed out how similar this was to Malcolm X, but the X had no clue who that was.

Character
Despite his incredibly low tier ranking, Sam remains Longshoreman X's character of choice. Though many have attempted to convince the X of his folly in this selection, for as long as anyone can remember, Sam has been his man, through and through.



Personal Life
Longshoreman X has been very public about his troubles at home and has on several occasions made reference to spousal abuse. Although he's never made clear exactly which party was responsible for the abuse, the X has been known to show up to tournaments looking beat up as shit.

At the time of December 2021, Longshoreman X is divorced for 13 years now, and lives lonely but happily, locating somewhere in West Russia and playing JCFoF with Grishka occasionally.
