Azen Zagenite is an American pro smasher famous for using many different characters. He legitimized himself to the community at large by placing fourth at Tournament Go 5 and ever since, Azen has ranked third or higher in virtually every tournament he has entered.

Azen's greatest national victory occured at Tournament Go 6, where he defeated Captain Jack to claim victory. He also attended FC6, and did quite well after what most considered to be a six-month hiatus from the game. He was victorious at MLG Orlando, ranking even higher than Ken.

Azen won MLG NY Playoffs, defeating Ken in the first round of the tournament.

Azen is known as the "Master of Diversity" because he can play nearly every character in the game at a high level. He has placed in the top 10 of big tournaments using characters like Samus, Link and Pikachu. However, it would be an exaggeration to say he "mains" all of the characters in the game. When Azen is playing at his best in tournament competition, he primarily plays Marth and Sheik; however he's been known to often use Peach and Falco in doubles matches.

Azen picked up Super Smash Bros. Brawl on its release and continued to play numerous characters at a high level. Some of these include Lucario, Marth, Diddy Kong, King Dedede, Mr. Game & Watch, Snake and Peach. Azen used to be considered the top Lucario player, and many argued it is largely thanks to Azen that Lucario was considered a high tier character in Brawl's earlier days.

During his time in Brawl, Azen has achieved much success and notable victories, such as beating DieSuperFly 2-0 at Critical Hit 3 and being the first person to knock Ally out of losers bracket (at CATACLYSM 4). He is also the first person to have won a major tournament (C3 tournament 8-15-09) with Lucario, beating Korn 3-1 in grand finals.

As of August 2009, Azen went on a hiatus from Super Smash Bros. He claims he is "no longer interested" in smash and had only played smash for such a long time because his friends played it. He says that he spends most of his time nowadays "chillin' with Chillin" and playing other fighting games.

Azen made his first tournament appearance in almost four years at Pound 5 in February 2011 coming 49th in singles (out of nearly 200 entrants) and coming 9th teaming with Chillin, in doubles. He and Chillin have stated in their new Youtube series; "Fight Nights with Azen and Chillin" that they have officially become active Melee players again.
