'''Kage The Warrior''' is a Ganondorf player from Canada. He is known as the best ''[[Melee]]'' Ganondorf player in the world. Kage is known for his upset at ROM 2 where he knocked out [[Mango]], then considered the best player in the world by beating him twice; 2-0 in Winner's 3rd (with [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mi29XrtA7rg a 3-stock against Mango's Falcon]) and 2-1 in Loser's Semifinals; however, he lost to {{Sm|Hungrybox}} in the Winner's Semifinals and {{Sm|Dr. PeePee}} in the Loser's Finals.
'''Kage''' (pronounced "kaw-gay"), also known as '''Kage the Warrior''', is a ''[[Melee]]'' {{SSBM|Ganondorf}} player from Canada who is widely considered to be the greatest Ganondorf player of all time. Kage rose to notoriety for his upset at [[Revival of Melee 2]] where he double eliminated {{Sm|Mango}}, who was considered the best player in the world at the time, with a 2-0 victory in Winners Quarters (with [https://youtu.be/Mi29XrtA7rg a 3-stock against Mango's Falcon]) and a 2-1 victory in Losers Semifinals. However, he lost to {{Sm|Hungrybox}} in Winners Semis and {{Sm|PPMD}} in Losers Finals. Kage continues to be a threat in the ''Melee'' scene, consistently placing high at tournaments with a mid-tier character.
 
At {{Trn|EVO 2015}}, he and {{Sm|Bizzarro Flame}} finally had their $100 [[money match]] at the Salty Suite, with Kage taking a convincing 5-0 victory. After {{Trn|EVO 2016}}, he announced his intentions to focus more on his other characters, and less on Ganondorf, but still continues to primarily play Ganondorf and {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}}. On July 29th 2016, he was picked up by {{Team|Synthetik Gaming}}, but left them on June 19th, 2017. On February 18th, 2018, he joined Mirage.
 
He was formerly ranked 95th on the [[2019 MPGR]] and 2nd on the [[Montreal Power Rankings]] for ''Melee'' and was formerly ranked 3rd for ''[[Project M]]''. In recent years, has wins on {{Sm|ChuDat}}, {{Sm|Ginger}}, {{Sm|KirbyKaze}}, {{Sm|Android}}, {{Sm|Bananas}}, {{Sm|Magi}}, {{Sm|HugS}}, and {{Sm|Kalamazhu}}.

Kage (pronounced "kaw-gay"), also known as Kage the Warrior, is a Melee Ganondorf player from Canada who is widely considered to be the greatest Ganondorf player of all time. Kage rose to notoriety for his upset at Revival of Melee 2 where he double eliminated Mango, who was considered the best player in the world at the time, with a 2-0 victory in Winners Quarters (with a 3-stock against Mango's Falcon) and a 2-1 victory in Losers Semifinals. However, he lost to Hungrybox in Winners Semis and PPMD in Losers Finals. Kage continues to be a threat in the Melee scene, consistently placing high at tournaments with a mid-tier character.

At EVO 2015, he and Bizzarro Flame finally had their $100 money match at the Salty Suite, with Kage taking a convincing 5-0 victory. After EVO 2016, he announced his intentions to focus more on his other characters, and less on Ganondorf, but still continues to primarily play Ganondorf and Captain Falcon. On July 29th 2016, he was picked up by Synthetik Gaming, but left them on June 19th, 2017. On February 18th, 2018, he joined Mirage.

He was formerly ranked 95th on the 2019 MPGR and 2nd on the Montreal Power Rankings for Melee and was formerly ranked 3rd for Project M. In recent years, has wins on ChuDat, Ginger, KirbyKaze, Android, Bananas, Magi, HugS, and Kalamazhu.
