He is widely considered the best Mario main in the world, even though his first tournament was in Summer 2010 (where he beat many notable players including Bob$, Zhu, ConnorTheKid, and MacD). His real name is Joshua Lopez, and he usually cannot attend Sunday tournaments because he has to go to church. |

| '''Mango''' is a smasher from Norwalk, California. He got his name in the 5th grade when he was playing the PC first-person shooter, ''Counter-Strike'', and he was hungry, so he put his name as "I want Mangos", and since that day, everyone called him Mango.
| |
|
| |
|
| He placed 3rd in Singles at Evo World 2007, defeating many of the best known professional [[smasher]]s. He placed 3rd in singles at Super Champ Combo, defeating many well-known players. In doubles, he also placed 3rd with his partner [[Lucky]], even beating the team of [[Ken]] and [[Smasher:Isai|Isai]]. He is currently ranked #1 in the SoCal Melee Power Rankings.
| | Although he said he would be placing top 3 at Apex 2010, he did not, losing to Wobbles in winners bracket and Eggz in losers bracket. |
|
| |
|
| On February 4, 2008, Mango won Pound 3, having beaten top professionals like [[Smasher:Forward|Forward]], [[Smasher:Cort|Cort]], [[Smasher:PC Chris|PC Chris]], [[Smasher:Chu Dat|Chu Dat]], and [[Smasher:Mew2King|Mew2King]].
| | He is sometimes called Mango as a joke in the Smash Community, due to Mango playing Mario one time. |
| | |
| As of March 7th, he is considered one of the best active Melee players in the world, having beaten [[PC Chris]], [[Smasher:Chu Dat|Chu Dat]], [[Mew2King]], and myriad other lesser smashers in the Revival Of Melee Tournament in Nanuet, New York, placing 1st.
| |
| | |
| On July 12th, 2009, Mango attended Genesis by DBR, which had 290 entrants in Melee Singles (Melee's largest tournament ever by that time), where he reached the Winner's Finals and lost 2-3 the first set against [[Armada]], a [[Peach]] mainer regarded as the best player in Europe. After beating Hungrybox in Loser's Finals 3-0, Mango entered the Grand Finals against Armada, and had to win two sets to win the tournament. Mango won a very intense and close second set between these two 3-2, and then won the third set 3-0 to win the event.
| |
| | |
| Revival of Melee 2 caused lots of debate among the smash community, when he placed fourth losing to Kage the Warrior. The main John was that he was drunk the previous day and had a massive hangover. He soon silenced the critics at Pound 4.
| |
| | |
| Mango recently won Pound 4 by beating Hungrybox 3-1 in the grand finals. Since then, Mango has been regarded by many as the world champion of SSBM. Mango's only weakness is alcohol, as it 4 stocked him recently at a californian tournament called " Nice Shot Hugo".
| |
| | |
| Mango is widely credited for [[Jigglypuff]]'s large jump in the Melee tiers list bumping her up from tied for 6th and 7th with [[Captain Falcon]] to tied for first with the [[Space Animals]].
