Bizzarro Flame (aka Bizz) is a smasher from La Cañada Flintridge, California currently residing in San Francisco who mains Ganondorf in Melee, and is considered the second best Ganondorf main in the world (Behind Kage). He is currently ranked 11th on the NorCal Melee Power Rankings and is currently ranked 18th on the SoCal Melee Power Rankings and 98th on the 2015 SSBMRank. Bizzarro Flame first became recognized for his technical gameplay after releasing the Ganondorf tech-skill video Ganon on Ice in 2010. In addition to his advanced tech, Bizz has also become closely associated with the use of Ganondorf's rarely used up-tilt. His flashy playstyle has led to many infamous moments at tournaments; in particular, he landed four down aerials against Laijin's Sheik in the first game of their pools set at EVO 2013 and finished off the stock with just an up aerial and forward aerial, plus a gratuitous Wizard's Foot spike after Laijin's recovery came up short, and he also landed five down aerials and a forward aerial against Strain's Fox in the second game of their set at Kings of Cali 4, before finishing off his stock by covering his recovery with an up tilt.
At Apex 2015, Bizzarro Flame played a $100 money match against Eikelmann in VGBootCamp's Salty Suite, where he won 3-0. Originally, his opponent was Kage, but due to sickness, he was not able to attend. He and Kage finally had their set at EVO 2015, where he lost 0-5. Despite his Salty Suite match, however, he would team up with him in doubles. They ended up netting 7th place.
Additionally, at I'm Not Yelling!, Bizzarro Flame took a game off of Armada's Fox, forcing him to counterpick Peach.
On February 2nd, 2016, Bizarro Flame had announced his retirement from competitive Smash and resignation from Team YP in order to focus on his career as an attorney. 24 days after his retirement, however, he announced on Twitter he would return to competitive Smash, after quitting his job and moving in with his fiancée in San Francisco.
