'''Mango''' (often stylized as '''MaNg0''', also known as '''Scorpion Master''', '''The Kid''', '''The G.O.A.T.''' The ManG.O.A.T and '''The Buster''') is a top professional ''[[Melee]]'' player from Norwalk, California who is currently ranked 1st on the [[SoCal Melee Power Rankings]] and 4th on the [[2015 SSBMRank]], and was formerly ranked at the 0 position on the [[Northeastern Ohio Melee Power Rankings]]. Mango is famous for being able to play several characters at a competitive level, making significant impacts at tournaments with {{SSBM|Fox}}, {{SSBM|Falco}}, {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}}, {{SSBM|Mario}}, {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}}, {{SSBM|Link}}, and {{SSBM|Marth}}. Because of his innovations and dominance with Jigglypuff from 2007 to 2009, Mango is generally credited for Jigglypuff's [[List of SSBM tier lists (NTSC)|large jump]] in the Melee [[tier list]], from ranking 6th and 7th with Captain Falcon to ranking 3rd (now 5th).
 
Currently, Mango is considered to be one of the best Fox players in the world (along with {{Sm|Armada}} and {{Sm|Leffen}}) and one of the three best Falco players in the world (along with {{Sm|PPMD}} and {{Sm|Westballz}}). [[Melee It On Me]]'s [[2013 SSBM Player Rankings]] and [[2014 SSBM Player Rankings]] ranked Mango as the #1 ''Melee'' player in the world, and he remains the only smasher in history to have won ''Melee'' singles in EVO more than once, performing the feat in the 2013 and 2014 installments of the series. Some consider Mango to be the "Greatest of All Time", "GOAT", or "GOAT of All Time".
 
==Biography==
===Origin of the name===
Mango received his gamertag in the 5th grade while playing the PC first-person shooter ''Counter-Strike''. At a LAN party, he entered his name as "I want a Mango" and his friends have called him "Mango" ever since.
 
===Rise to fame===
Mango 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]], again defeating many well-known players. In doubles, he also placed 3rd with his partner {{Sm|Lucky}}, even beating the team of {{Sm|Ken}} and {{Sm|Isai}}.
 
On February 4th, 2008, Mango won [[Pound 3]], having beaten top professionals such as {{Sm|Forward}}, {{Sm|Cort}}, {{Sm|PC Chris}}, {{Sm|ChuDat}}, and {{Sm|Mew2King}}.
 
By March 8th, 2009, he was considered one of the best active Melee players in the world, having beaten PC Chris, ChuDat, Mew2King, and many other smashers at [[Revival of Melee]] in Nanuet, New York, placing 1st.
 
On July 10th, 2009, Mango attended [[GENESIS]] by DBR, which had 290 entrants in Melee Singles (Melee's largest tournament ever at the time), where he reached the Winners' Finals and lost 2-3 the first set against {{Sm|Armada}}, a {{SSBM|Peach}} main regarded as the best player in Europe. After defeating {{Sm|Hungrybox}} in Losers' Finals 3-0, Mango reached Grand Finals against Armada. Mango then proceeded to win a very intense and close second set 3-2, and the third set 3-0 to win the tournament.
 
[[Revival of Melee 2]] was the cause of much debate within the Smash community when Mango placed fourth after being double eliminated by {{Sm|Kage The Warrior}}. However, rumors and uncertainty ended after Mango claimed 1st place at [[Pound 4]] (then the largest tournament in Melee history with over 300 entrants) without dropping a set, defeating Hungrybox 3-1 in Grand Finals.
 
Since his victory at Pound 4, Mango was regarded by many to be the world champion of SSBM.
 
===Scorpion Master===
After being banned on [[SmashBoards]], Mango, along with [[DBR]] and the rest of his region, decided to prank the rest of the Smash community by creating an alias known as '''ScorpionMaster94''' and sandbag at a number of tournaments. Originally going to use {{SSBM|Luigi}} or {{SSBM|Samus}}, when using his alias, Mango decided to use Mario after soundly defeating fellow SoCal smasher {{Sm|Smoke2Jointz}} in a money match.
 
Mango and the rest of SoCal created a backstory for his alias, claiming "Scorp" was a prodigy from Mexico named Joshua Lopez who defeated everyone in SoCal and was ready to place Top 3 at [[Apex 2010]]. Mango, however, failed in this endeavor, losing to Wobbles and Eggz and getting an unexpected 25th place at Apex 2010. Mango continued to sandbag with other characters, such as Captain Falcon and Marth, in addition to his Mario, convincingly defeating {{Sm|Kage The Warrior}} 2-0 with {{SSBM|Link}} and Marth at [[Revival of Melee 3]] and receiving 9th place, and placing 17th at [[Pound V]].
 
===Regaining the lead===
Mango's planned revival was [[GENESIS 2]]. Despite being upset by {{Sm|Taj}} in Winners Semis, he was able to fire through Losers Bracket to reach Grand Finals against {{Sm|Armada}}, defeating {{Sm|Hungrybox}} 3-0 in Losers Semis and Taj again 2-0 in Losers Finals (Taj forfeited after he was 4 stocked in game 2). After a close and intense set, Mango ultimately placed 2nd, losing 2-3 against Armada.
 
Mango secured his position as champion of North America by winning [[Revival of Melee 4]], convincingly defeating {{Sm|Dr. PeePee}} 3-0 in Winners Finals and 3-1 in Grand Finals.
 
At [[Apex 2012]], Mango fell short of people's expectations and placed 3rd after losing 0-3 to Armada in Winners Finals and 1-3 to Hungrybox in Losers Finals. 
 
After Apex 2012, Mango began to regain the dominant lead he held back in 2008. He won [[IMPULSE]], a Canadian national tournament, after defeating Dr. PeePee, Hungrybox and {{Sm|Mew2King}}. Mango continued to defend his victory streak, convincingly defeating Hungrybox in Grand Finals at [[MELEE-FC10R Legacy]] and again at [[The Big House 2]], winning both national tournaments without dropping a set.
 
At [[Apex 2013]], Mango defeated several notable smashers in Winners bracket such as {{Sm|Nintendude}}, {{Sm|Vwins}}, and {{Sm|Eggm}}, before losing to Mew2King. In Losers bracket, he defeated Vwins again, {{Sm|Hax}}, and {{Sm|Hungrybox}} before losing to Mew2King again, placing 4th.
 
===Road to EVO 2013===
At [[B.E.A.S.T 3]] in Sweden, Mango won the tournament after defeating well known European smashers such as {{Sm|Zgetto}}, {{Sm|Baxon}}, {{Sm|Overtriforce}}, and finally {{Sm|Ice}} in Grand Finals.
 
At [[Kings of Cali 2]], Mango won the tournament without dropping a set, defeating {{Sm|Shroomed}} 3-1 in Winners Finals and {{Sm|Wobbles}} 3-0 in Grand Finals.
 
At NorCal Regionals 2013, Mango was upset by {{Sm|PewPewU}} in Winners Semis. Mango reached Grand Finals after defeating {{Sm|Fly Amanita}}, {{Sm|Westballz}}, and PewPewU in the Losers Bracket and won a convincing 3-0 first set against {{Sm|Hungrybox}} (including a 4 stock in game 2), but failed to pull through in the second set, losing 2-3.
 
At Vindication, Mango defeated {{Sm|Mew2King}} in Winners Finals 3-0, but lost the first set of Grand Finals 1-3. However, he managed to win the second set 3-1, winning the tournament.
 
[[Zenith 2013]] was a significant tournament, with all 4 top players in the United States present for the first time since Apex 2013 as well as being a road to EVO qualifier. Mango was put in the Losers Bracket by Mew2King after losing Winners Semis 1-3. He defeated {{Sm|DaShizWiz}} 2-0 in Losers Quarters, {{Sm|Dr. PeePee}} 3-1 in Losers Semis, and Mew2King 3-1 in Losers Finals before reaching Grand Finals against Hungrybox. Mango won the tournament after defeating Hungrybox in 2 sets, both 3-1.
 
At [[IMPULSE 2013]] in Toronto, Mango claimed 1st place without dropping a game, defeating {{Sm|Unknown522}} 3-0 in both Winners and Grand Finals. Mango also took 1st in Melee Doubles (teaming with Unknown522) and 1st in Project M Singles.
 
===EVO 2013===
[[Image:Mango Evo 2013.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Mango after winning [[EVO 2013]].]]
With 709 entrants, [[EVO 2013]] was the largest "Super Smash Bros. Melee" tournament for a year. With his victory at [[Zenith 2013]], Mango was the number one seed and successfully advanced from his pool in day one, cruising into the Winners' Quarters pool without dropping a game.
 
On day two, Mango then proceeded to the Winners Semis pool after defeating {{Sm|Axe}} 2-1. In Winners Semis, Mango was put in the Losers Bracket after losing 1-2 to {{Sm|Wobbles}}. Mango then cemented his place in the Top 8 after defeating {{Sm|SFAT}} 2-1.
 
Mango began EVO finals in the Losers Bracket. He defeated {{Sm|Ice}} 2-0 and {{Sm|Dr. PeePee}} 2-0 before reaching Losers Semis against {{Sm|Armada}}. In a highly anticipated match, Mango defeated Armada 2-0 to reach Losers Finals against {{Sm|Hungrybox}}. After defeating Hungrybox 2-0, Mango reached Grand Finals against Wobbles. Mango then defeated Wobbles in 2 sets, 3-0 and 3-1 to become the champion of EVO 2013.
 
===Post EVO 2013===
After winning EVO 2013 and with the birth of his son, Mango announced that he would be taking a small hiatus from competitive Melee. During this period he entered tournaments primarily with secondary characters, including placing 2nd at LANHAMMER 2013 with {{SSBM|Marth}} and 2nd at [[Pound V.5]] with Marth and {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}}.
 
At Fight Pitt 3, Mango's {{SSBM|Fox}} defeated {{Sm|Mew2King}}'s {{SSBM|Marth}} 3-2 in Winners Finals. However, Mew2King managed to take 2 sets from Mango in Grand Finals to win the tournament, both sets 3-1.
 
At [[Apex 2014]], Mango beat {{Sm|Fiction}} 2-0 in Winners Quarters but was defeated 1-3 by {{Sm|Dr. PeePee}} in Winners Semis. He then defeated {{Sm|Hungrybox}} in Losers Quarters 2-0 to reach Losers Semis against {{Sm|Leffen}}, the preeminent Fox player in Europe. Mango defeated Leffen in a riveting 3-2 set (including a 4-stock in game 5). Mango ultimately lost to Mew2King 1-3 in Losers Finals and placed 3rd.
 
===Cloud9 and MLG Anaheim 2014===
[[Revival of Melee 7]] marked Mango's return to competitive ''Melee''. Mango won the tournament without dropping a set, defeating {{Sm|Hungrybox}} 3-0 in winners' quarters, {{Sm|Darrell}} 3-0 in winners' semis and {{Sm|Mew2King}} 3-2 in winners' finals and 3-1 in Grand Finals. This was also the third time Mango has claimed a ROM title.
 
At [[Fight Pitt IV]], Mango faced off against Mew2King in winners' finals and won 3-2. In Grand Finals, Mew2King won the first set 3-2, but Mango prevailed in the second set, winning 3-0. In the final set, Mango's Falco was able to defeat Mew2King's Marth on Final Destination in two consecutive games, a remarkable feat considering Mew2King's mastery of the Space Animal match-up on that stage.
 
At [[WHOBO MLG]], Mango was upset by Hax 1-3 in winners' finals. Mango went on to defeat Hax in two sets of grand finals 6-0 using {{SSBM|Falco}} to win the tournament and successfully qualify for [[MLG Anaheim 2014]].
 
On May 6th, 2014, [[Cloud9]] announced that they had signed Mango to lead their fighting games division. Mango's first tournament under this new sponsor was [[Get On My Level 2014]], where he took 1st place, defeating Kage 2-0, KirbyKaze and Mew2King 3-0, and Hungrybox 3-2 in grand finals for the title. However, at subsequent tournaments, Mango did not perform as well. At [[SKTAR 3]], he lost to PPMD 1-3 in winners' finals, and then was eliminated by Mew2King 1-3 in losers' finals, finishing at 3rd place overall. At [[Super SWEET]], he was defeated by Armada 2-3 in winners' finals then eliminated by Mew2King 1-3 once again in losers' finals, with the last match being a 4-stock against him on [[Pokémon Stadium]].
 
[[MLG Anaheim 2014]] was notable for having one of the largest prize pools in ''Smash'' history at $15,000. Mango defeated PPMD in winners' semis 3-2 and Armada in winners' finals and grand finals, both sets 3-2, to claim first place.
 
Mango later attended [[CEO 2014]], where he managed to defeat Mew2King 2-0 and Armada 3-1 to secure a spot in grand finals. However, CEO proved not to be a repeat of MLG Anaheim, as Armada came back in grand finals to win two sets over Mango, 0-3 and 1-3, to take the tournament.
 
At [[Kings of Cali 4]], Mango defeated {{Sm|MacD}}, {{Sm|Fiction}}, and {{Sm|aMSa}} 3-0 before reaching winners' finals against Armada, where he won 3-1. He lost the first set of grand finals 0-3 to Armada, but still won the second set 3-1, placing 1st overall in singles at the tournament.
 
===EVO 2014===
[[EVO 2014]] had a total of 970 entrants for ''Melee'', surpassing the record set by EVO 2013 and becoming the largest ''Melee'' tournament for over six months. In the winners' quarters pool, he defeated Axe 2-1 to make it into the top 8 via winners' bracket. He then defeated Mew2King 2-0, and Hungrybox 3-2 in both winners' finals and grand finals, to take first place.
 
This victory caused Mango to become the first player to win ''Melee'' singles at EVO more than once. Due to these victories along with his victory at MLG Anaheim 2014, Mango was considered by many to be the world champion of ''Melee'' at the time.
 
===Apex 2015===
Mango's appearance at the [[Apex 2015|Apex tournament]] in February of 2015 was largely the role of an avenger after Leffen's highly anticipated and convincing 5-0 game win against {{Sm|Chillin}}. In response to Chillin's loss, Mango challenged Leffen claiming: "[If] we meet in bracket, we're putting one thousand on it." Leffen immediately accepted and would go on to defeat Mango's Falco with Fox in a series of hard fought matches that ended with a 3-1 game score in Leffen's favor. After the defeat, Mango defeated Yoshi main aMSa in a close 5 game set 3-2 in loser's quarters before losing to Armada 0-3 in loser's semis, netting 4th place.
 
===EVO 2015===
EVO 2015 became the largest ''Melee'' tournament of all time, with 1869 entrants. Mango was knocked into the losers bracket in winners quarters by {{Sm|Plup}}'s Sheik 1-2 in a rematch from [[CEO 2015]], causing a major upset. He beat {{Sm|DruggedFox}} 2-0 to make it into top 8, then beat {{Sm|ChuDat}} 2-0 to face Hungrybox in losers quarters. Hungrybox ended up winning over Mango 2-1, ending Mango's EVO run at 5th place, meaning a new EVO champion would be crowned, which ended up being Armada.
 
==Playing Style==
With Fox, Mango is known for his excellent neutral game, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mk09c6iLLdU including excellent dash-dancing], non-stop approaching with shine, and run-up shield mix-ups. With Falco, Mango is known for creativity, excellent use of crouch cancels and shine out-of-shield to start combos and an unparalleled ability to dominate otherwise amazing players [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iMD1_wjxAQ when the crowd is behind him]. Mango is known for having world class DI, great recovery as well as [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T38sP3nibhY reading and reacting to his opponent's poor choices].
 
Mango is also capable of playing many characters at a very high level, including Mario, Jigglypuff, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzcIOB8aRbk Falcon and Marth]. Mango will play Falcon occasionally for styling or to play [[ditto]]s. An infamous match where he played Falcon and Marth against {{Sm|Hax}}, who had recently changed to Fox, was in Winner's Quarterfinals at [[The Big House 4]]. Mango won the set 3-1 and had a notably memetic play where he walked up slowly and just [[down smash]]ed for a KO. After that, he closed out the last to games of the set with Marth, which he rarely uses in tournaments.

==Trivia==
*Mango holds positive records against every smasher he has played with the exception of {{Sm|Armada}} (12-18) and {{Sm|DruggedFox}} (1-1).
*Mango's son, born October 14th, 2013, has his middle name taken from Mango's gamertag; his full name is Joseph Mango Marquez.
*At [[HTC Throwdown]], Mango placed 17th. This was his lowest placing at a national since he had sandbagged as Scorpion Master over 5 years ago. He was upset by DruggedFox and {{Sm|MacD}}, who both beat him 2-1. Due to this poor placement, he jokingly insists that he only flew to San Francisco that weekend specifically to guest star in episode 5 of the "Scar and Toph Show", and smashers now occasionally call him "Mango17", in a similar fashion to {{Sm|Alex19}}.
**[[MVG Sandstorm]], [[EVO 2015]], and [[DreamHack Winter 2015]] marked his next worst placements at 5th each, losing to {{Sm|Axe}} 2-3 and {{Sm|Westballz}} 1-3 at MVG Sandstorm, losing to {{Sm|Plup}} 1-2 and {{Sm|Hungrybox}} 1-2 at EVO 2015, and losing to Plup 2-3 and Westballz 0-3 at DreamHack Winter 2015.
***These noticeably poor performances in 2015 have elicited the term "buster", which is usually used in the Smash community to describe someone who has underperformed at any given event (severely or otherwise). Mango once famously said at Apex 2015: "Life is this crazy, mystical thing, and sometimes, you just go out like a buster." One of Mango's Twitch subscription emotes uses the face of Buster, the bunny from the cartoon "Arthur", along with a pair of sunglasses to reference the term (coincidentally, it was also made the week before Apex 2015 began).
*Every year at EVO since 2013, he has thrown something towards the crowd.
**He threw his shirt in 2013 after beating Armada in losers semis.
**He threw his hat in 2014 after beating Hungrybox in grand finals.
**He threw his 5th place medal in 2015 right after receiving it during the awards ceremony, which he did not initially show up for.
*Mango is well-known for disliking the Fox [[ditto match|ditto]], instead using primarily Falco against Fox players; however, after losing [[CEO 2015]] losers finals against Armada due to losing the first game in Fox dittos and not being well versed in the Falco/Peach matchup, he eventually decided to learn it. He jokingly claims to be the "Fox ditto master" after beating Armada in the Fox ditto at WTFox in losers finals (albeit only in the first game) and Leffen at the EVO ''Melee'' salty suite with a score of 3-2, making a 3-0 comeback.
**The use of the title "Master" in this case is an example of a running gag that California smashers use, where being a "Fox ditto master" translates to "I have played (or won) a Fox ditto before".
*Mango [https://youtu.be/mep1aUW3Opk?t=253 stated] that the reason he decided to main {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}} is because he was inspired from watching {{Sm|The King}}'s combo videos.
