Kage, while a potent force locally, was not considered one of the absolute top players in Canada, or even Montreal. That would all change in 2009, and from an unlikely source. While he performed admirably, there was still a lot to be desired from the land up north. This would, of course, change as 2008 rolled around, with players such as RaynEX beginning to travel stateside. Other than those rare caveats, Canada had seen practically no action prior to Brawl’s release. The few exceptions would be the likes of Mike and the Punch Crew, more known for their videos and entertainment value than actual skill (though MikeMonkey did show some prowess), and The King, an aggressive Jigglypuff main who ironically inspired Mango to pick up the character. An unexpected place for the blackhearted villain to find love would almost certainly have been where our hero of today hails from: Montreal, Quebec, Canada.ĭespite being the 2nd largest country in the world, as well as being adjacent to the most active scene for Melee, the United States, Canada had barely seen action on the grand stage. Linguini would come after, and begin to show success in 2008, notably making 17th at GENESIS. Florida had a startling amount of talent with the warlock, with Tipman being an early progenitor of the character. However, after him, there hadn’t been many to truly break into that tier. Eddie of course comes to mind, a Top 10 level player in 2003, who continued to have decent performances all the way up to 2007.

When it comes to Ganondorf, the villain of the iconic Legend of Zelda franchise, there have been some top tier competitors in the past.
