Eise Smit

David Clemens and Eise Smit

Eise Smit was one of the first to join the The Elite, as an existing member of Goldeneye Extreme - the then Goldeneye World Rankings page run by Wes McKinney.

1.2 Control Style

Eise is credited with being the first person to bring the effectiveness of the 1.2 Control Style to the attention of the community. This occured soon after he first joined Goldeneye Extreme, as a consequence of his particularly good times (Surface 1 Agent 1:08, Caverns Agent 1:06, Bunker 1 Secret Agent 0:28) leading Wes to believe Eise was lying - because it was unheard of for such a new player to get times like that.

Eise explained that he used "Turok style" controls, which meant 1.2 control style allowing for faster turning and no loss of speed. People were initially very sceptical, reluctant to try 1.2 because they had been playing 1.1 style from the beginning, with and without Cruise Control, and the switch was too big for them. It wasnt until after SnapDragon proved 1.2 was faster and Bryan Bosshardt joined and began to dominate the rankings that many people felt the need to change to keep up.

Gaming Achievements

Eise himself was ranked as high as 9th in the Elite Goldeneye World Rankings. He was also known for being exceptionally good at the Train locks, holding the fastest locks finish for a considerable time. Eise's last PR came a couple of years ago, but he has never really stopped playing Multiplayer.

In addition to Goldeneye, Eise was a very good Mario Kart 64 player, ranking inside the World Top 100 and owning a Legend D time. He also had many great times on Wave Race 64.

Community meetings

Eise attented the 2009 Goldeneye meeting held in Borås, Sweden together with Ilari Pekkala, Henning Blom, Patrik Nilsson, Marc Rützou, Alex Anderson and some of Ilaris friends. He went on to take the Goldeneye tournament beating [Patrik Nilsson] in the semi-final and [Henning Blom] in the final.

Outside Gaming

Outside of gaming Eise likes to spend time with his girlfriend, watch movies and jog.

He doesnt like Jim !
