'''ApolloKage''' (pronounced apollo-cog-ay<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/ApolloKage/status/1269155011298279424|title=ApolloKage pronunciation}}</ref>)is a ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' {{SSBU|Snake}} player from Missouri, considered as the best player in his state and the current best Snake main in the world. Although he often performed well regionally, he did not have a impact on a national level until his breakout performance at {{Trn|Super Smash Con: Fall Fest}}, where he notably defeated the first seed {{Sm|ESAM}} and ultimately placed 13th. He has also defeated players such as {{Sm|MkLeo}}, {{Sm|Riddles}}, {{Sm|Glutonny}}, {{Sm|Sonix}}, {{Sm|Onin}}, {{Sm|Shuton}}, and {{Sm|Kola}}. He is currently ranked 1st on the [[St. Louis Power Rankings]], 20th on the [[UltRank 2022]], and 32nd on the [[OrionRank 2022]]; he was also formerly ranked 55th on the [[Wi-Fi Warrior Rank v5]].
'''ApolloKage''' (pronounced apollo-cog-ay<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/ApolloKage/status/1269155011298279424|title=ApolloKage pronunciation}}</ref>) is a ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' {{SSBU|Snake}} player from Missouri. He is considered one of the best Snake players in North America in the post-pandemic metagame and was considered the best Snake player in the world in 2022. Though active in the early metagame, his breakout event was his run to 13th at {{Trn|Super Smash Con: Fall Fest}}, where he defeated {{Sm|ESAM}}, a player known for being proficient in the Snake matchup. Since then, ApolloKage had placed top 8 at several majors and won several other large events, most notably {{Trn|DreamHack Atlanta 2022}} and the {{Trn|Watch The Throne}} qualifier {{Trn|GENESIS: BLACK at Guildhouse}}. At a regional level, ApolloKage is considered one of the best ''Ultimate'' players in Missouri, ranking first on the St. Louis power rankings for five years.

ApolloKage (pronounced apollo-cog-ay[1]) is a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Snake player from Missouri. He is considered one of the best Snake players in North America in the post-pandemic metagame and was considered the best Snake player in the world in 2022. Though active in the early metagame, his breakout event was his run to 13th at Super Smash Con: Fall Fest, where he defeated ESAM, a player known for being proficient in the Snake matchup. Since then, ApolloKage had placed top 8 at several majors and won several other large events, most notably DreamHack Atlanta 2022 and the Watch The Throne qualifier GENESIS: BLACK at Guildhouse. At a regional level, ApolloKage is considered one of the best Ultimate players in Missouri, ranking first on the St. Louis power rankings for five years.

ApolloKage joined Witness Gaming on October 6, 2022.[2]
