(Was considering marking this for lack of notability, but since he's well respected in an online community, I think this page can stay. Also, found an actual tournament placing!)

Co-starring in PJL: Believe the legend with:
'''Legan''' was a ''[[Brawl]]'' {{SSBB|Link}} main from [[Missouri]]. He was known as one of the best Link players in ''Brawl''{{'}}s history, with him often being considered the second best under {{Sm|KirinBlaze}} for most of ''Brawl''{{'}}s competitive life, with Legan achieving results at large [[Midwest]] regionals playing only Link that few other players of bottom tier characters could replicate. He was additionally a prominent member of the Link community on [[AllisBrawl]], where the world's best Links would discuss his [[metagame]], and was featured as a VIP member of both PJL and PJL2 ("Project Link" Combo videos, featuring all the best Links in the world, though these videos are no longer online).

'''Description on his fanclub group on AiB:'''  
He started out playing ''[[Melee]]'' with Link, looking up to players like {{sm|Aniki}} and {{sm|Germ}}. In his early competitive career in ''Brawl'', he watched the Japanese player {{sm|Hashimo}} a lot and adapted that playstyle as his basis. Through the years, he practiced Link through Wi-Fi and offline smashfests.
<br>Do you like watching Low Tier players beast higher tier players while doing it with flash and style?
<br>How about yelling "Ooooh sh!t" and then "How'd he do that?!" to yourself?
<br>Legans just your man then.
<br>Character purist and Pro Link user all day - all night.


He started out playing melee with Link and looked up to players like: Aniki, Germ. And in his early career in brawl he watched the Japanese player Hashimo alot and adapted that playstyle as his basis. Through the years he practice Link through Wifi and Offline smashfests, learning all of Link's options and when to use them most effectivly.  
Legan would stop actively competing in ''Brawl'' by the end of 2012, and when ''[[Smash 4]]'' released, he stated he wasn't going to get into the game as much as he did with ''Brawl'' and had more difficulty finding time to travel to tournaments at his age. He reiterated that while he had no intention to buy a [[Wii U]], he would play ''Smash 4'' with friends and might attend a tournament or two, but he would not be seen again in competitive ''Smash'' after 2014.<ref>https://smashboards.com/threads/link-checked-the-thread-wow-this-is-a-nice-thread.370194/page-23#post-18046384</ref>


He is also known to mention the fact that he is, in fact, Legan. He especially favors mentioning it when he is being mocked or losing an argument.
