Playing style[edit]
Bizzarro Flame has as an extremely flashy playstyle that revolves around brutal punishes, chaingrabs, 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 landed four down aerials against Laijin, who is primarily a Young Link main but played as Sheik during this set. He also landed five down aerials and a forward aerial against Strain's Fox in the second game of their set at Kings of Cali 4, before finishing off his stock by covering his recovery with an up tilt.
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.

Trivia[edit]
- At Apex 2015, Bizzarro Flame played a $100 money match against Eikelmann in VGBootCamp's Salty Suite, where he won 3-0. Originally, his opponent was Kage, but due to sickness, he was not able to attend. He and Kage finally had their set at EVO 2015, where he lost 0-5. Despite his Salty Suite match, however, he would team up with him in doubles. They ended up getting 7th place.
