'''Bizzarro Flame''' (aka '''Bizz''') is a smasher from La Cañada Flintridge, California currently residing in San Francisco who mains {{SSBM|Ganondorf}} in ''[[Melee]]'', and is considered the second best Ganondorf main in the world behind {{Sm|Kage}}<!--Kage's results have historically been better than Bizz, not to mention Kage's still active and places well-->. He first became recognized for his technical gameplay after releasing the Ganondorf [[tech skill]] video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zexwVu-kh-I Ganon on Ice] in 2010, and has since then become a solid tournament threat. He has wins over {{Sm|Duck}}, {{Sm|Fly Amanita}}, {{Sm|Fiction}}, {{Sm|HugS}}, {{Sm|Squid}}, {{Sm|Ryobeat}}, {{Sm|Vro}}, and {{Sm|Calvin}}. | '''Bizzarro Flame''' (aka '''Bizz''') is a smasher from La Cañada Flintridge, California currently residing in San Francisco who mains {{SSBM|Ganondorf}} in ''[[Melee]]'', and is considered the second best Ganondorf main in the world behind {{Sm|Kage}}<!--Kage's results have historically been better than Bizz, not to mention Kage's still active and places well-->.

Bizzarro Flame has as an extremely flashy playstyle that revolves around brutal punishes, [[chaingrab]]s, and tricky movement, and frequently "disrespecting" opponents with excessive and sub-optimal moves. In addition to his advanced tech, Bizz has also become closely associated with the use of Ganondorf's rarely used up-tilt. His flashy playstyle has led to many infamous moments at tournaments; in particular, he [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VW1_dPY0dgM landed four down aerials] against {{Sm|Laijin}} | Bizzarro Flame has as an extremely flashy playstyle that revolves around brutal punishes, [[chaingrab]]s, and tricky movement, and frequently "disrespecting" opponents with excessive and sub-optimal moves.

However, such a playstyle has also slightly held Bizzarro Flame back, as against stronger players, his commitment to less optimal approaches and movement can lead to him immediately losing the [[neutral game]]. Additionally, he struggles against defensive players, as they can often exploit Ganondorf's inherent weaknesses to camping, and prevent him from landing any attacks that could convert to a punish. | However, such a playstyle has also slightly held Bizzarro Flame back, as against stronger players, his commitment to less optimal approaches and movement can lead to him immediately losing the [[neutral game]].
