'''Liquid''' is an up and coming ''[[Melee]]'' {{SSBM|Marth}} main in Canada, often known for his strong abuse of crouch cancel grab and unusual downsmash usage. He is ranked 9th in the GTA region in the 2018 spring season and is depicted as the Dragonball Z character Buu because he absorbs his opponents' tendencies and adapts like liquid. As many times as he denies it, his skill vastly improved from the training of {{Sm|Ryan Ford}} from the summer of 2016 and has now become a disciple of Ryan Ford. His resume includes tying with {{Sm|Armada}} at [[EGLX]] (Enthusiast Gaming Live Expo 2016) for 17th place, and wins over strong Canadian players such as {{Sm|Nightmare}}, {{Sm|Sauc3}}, {{Sm|KirbyKaze}}'s Bowser, and {{Sm|Monib}}. Recently he has taken a set off of {{Sm|Moky}} in 2018, but still has a losing record to local Toronto smasher, Kip's Peach secondary.
'''Liquid''' is a ''[[Melee]]'' {{SSBM|Marth}} main from Canada known for his strong abuse of crouch cancel grab and unusual down smash usage. He was previously ranked 6th on the [[Southern Ontario Power Rankings]] and has offline wins over players such as {{Sm|moky}}, {{Sm|Panda|p=Florida}}, {{Sm|YungWaff}}, {{Sm|bonfire10}}, {{Sm|Faust}}, and {{Sm|JSalt}}.
 
His 2018 does not end there, as he recently has taken a set off of {{Sm|Nintendude}}'s Marth at Gator Games Monthly #5 in Northern California. This ultimately boosted his {{Sm|Mew2King}} number to 2, and 3 for Kip's Peach. Furthermore, at the same monthly, he money matched {{Sm|SilentSpectre}} and won 2-1 without banning any stages. Not only does this show much balls he has, this also increased his {{Sm|Armada}} number to 2, and 3 for Kip's Peach. He is still undefeated against the current Gods of Melee as the gods are consistently in the winner's brackets in the early phases of majors, dodging Liquid, whose progress in the bracket is more variable.
 
He was then selected to represent Canada in [[The Big House 8]] crew battles of 2018. Due to team Florida's composition, he sat out due to the strong anti-Marth composition that the Floridian crew had. Although his image was shown on the preview of the crew battles, he was mistaken to be fellow Canadian smasher {{Sm|Vanitas}}. This was a mistake by the production crew as they failed to tell the difference between the two due to a visual reason.
