Liquid is an up and coming Melee Marth main in Canada, often known for his strong abuse of crouch cancel grab and unusual downsmash usage. He is ranked 9th in the GTA region in the 2018 spring season and is depicted as the Dragonball Z character Buu because he absorbs his opponents' tendencies and adapts like liquid. As many times as he denies it, his skill vastly improved from the training of Ryan Ford from the summer of 2016 and has now become a disciple of Ryan Ford. His resume includes tying with Armada at EGLX (Enthusiast Gaming Live Expo 2016) for 17th place, and wins over strong Canadian players such as Nightmare, Sauc3, KirbyKaze's Bowser, and Monib. Recently he has taken a set off of Moky in 2018, but still has a losing record to local Toronto smasher, Kip's Peach secondary.
His 2018 does not end there, as he recently has taken a set off of Nintendude's Marth at Gator Games Monthly #5 in Northern California. This ultimately boosted his Mew2King number to 2, and 3 for Kip's Peach. Furthermore, at the same monthly, he money matched SilentSpectre and won 2-1 without banning any stages. Not only does this show much balls he has, this also increased his Armada number to 2, and 3 for Kip's Peach. He is still undefeated against the current Gods of Melee as the gods are consistently in the winner's brackets in the early phases of majors, dodging Liquid, whose progress in the bracket is more variable.
He was then selected to represent Canada in The Big House 8 crew battles of 2018. Although his image was shown on the preview of the crew battles, he was mistaken to be a fellow Canadian smasher Vanitas. This was a mistake by the production crew as they failed to tell the difference between the two due to a visual reason.

Trivia
- After his loss to Ringler at GOML 2017, he claimed "Donkey Kong is just better Marth, their dtilts act exactly the same, his up-b is unedgeguardable and invincible on startup, and when you get grabbed, you just pray that the DK main messes up."
- He is also known to express a profound distaste for Xeon II's Sheik, (a local London, Ontario smasher) often saying "Xeon II is s***". This rumour has spread like wildfire among the Toronto scene. But in reality, this is an example of his tsundere personality.
