Raynex is a Super Smash Bros. Melee player from Toronto, Canada. He known as one of the country's premiere Fox players, and a fixture in North American competitive scene between 2007-2018.
Biography
As one of the founding members of the East Coast Canadanian smash community, Raynex has been a member of the grassroots scene since he was a teenager. Originally, he began competing by visiting community centers and highschools in the Toronto area that were hosting tournaments. After a year of honing his skill at local events, he set his sights on what lay beyond Canada. He began travelling across North America at age of 18, competing in New York, Massachusetts, Atlanta, Michigan, Pittsburg, Baltimore, and Kansas all before he turned 22 - picking up some notable tournament placings along the way. The experiences and lesson he gleaned frfom first U.S. major event in 2008 lead to numerous local tournament wins. With his best friend, doubles teammate and highschool classmate Ryan Ford, the rest of North America began to wake up to the reality of strong contenders in Canada. Raynex was the first-ever dual-sponsored player in Canada, competing in SSBM and Street Fighter simultaneously at major events. Raynex has accumulated tournament wins in his tenure, including the likes of Hungrybox, N0ne, Kage, KoreanDJ, KirbyKaze, and Colbol. In SSBM, Raynex peaked at #1 in Canada (2012) and 51st on the world rankings (2014).
Present
Raynex no longer competes professionally, but is still a fixture in the smash and fighting game communities.
