Alencar Faria

Give this guy some time and a controller and he'll show what he's made of! One of the great(if not the greatest) video-game players from Brazil, Alencar show us his potential whenever he feels like competing in any game. Standing at brazilian #1 spot in the Mario Kart Combined Rankings is just a little proof of what's being said.

Alencar started playing time trial competitions when he felt nobody could beat him at Super Mario Kart. He was getting tired of that and decided to search the Internet for some time trial challenges. When he first saw the Super Mario Kart Players site records for the first time, his reaction (note he was sure about his skills in that game) was obvious: "All these guys are LIARS". Then he kept looking at the times and realized that he had either found what he was looking for or was just losing his time. He got back to his beloved Mario Circuit 1 and tried it for some time. And he saw that those times were achievable. Some time after he joined the site with some outrageous PRs, including an amazing MC1 5-lap (top 5) and getting the 25th spot overall. Much has happened since then, and between quits and comebacks, Alencar got to the place he always belonged to: the top of the rankings. He currently stands at #6, and brazilian #2.

But SMK is not even his greatest love among Mario Karts. His true and only bitch is Mario Kart Super Circuit. It's Alencar's favorite MK, and is the one on wich he believes he's got more potential. He never took it as serious as he did with SMK, and if he ever do it the top MKSC players should better start shaking. Alencar "invented" some new strats to add some more competition in the rankings, and this is probably what motivates him the most. He haven't played much lately, and felt from the top 10 to hold the 12th position.

Alencar is also ranked in the other 3 Mario Karts, but he never tried it that much, so he is not ranked that well. It's not only a matter of time, but of will. He's been busy with other games lately.

Leaving the Mario Kart world, Alencar is also a force to be reckoned when it's up to Crazy Taxi. He holds some crazy records in this game. International Super Star Soccer Deluxe and Perfect Dark are other games on wich he tends to own whoever faces him.

About his personal life, he's also a very talented musician, and a skilled goalkeeper. He sometimes meets with other players (mostly Ciro Oliveira and Leonardo Vieira, and Guilherme Arantes once in a while) to chill and have some fun. He works at Brasília's subway, as a train driver.
