KirbyKaze is a professional Canadian Melee player from Markham, Ontario (born in Thornhill), regarded as the best Sheik player from Canada and one of the best Sheik players in the world, along with Mew2King, Plup, and Shroomed. From 2010-2012, he was a top 8 player and recorded the best results of his smash career to date, going head-to-head with USA's best, defeating Mango and PPMD at Revival of Melee 3 and Hungrybox at Apex 2012. KirbyKaze placed 9th on the Melee It On Me 2013 SSBM Rankings, giving him recognition as being the best Canadian Smasher. After taking a small break, KirbyKaze marked his return to Smash in 2014 by placing 4th at Get On My Level 2014. He has since seen strong results, notably SWEET Prologue which he won, and Apex 2015 where he took 7th. He had an unexpectedly low 97th placing at EVO 2015. KirbyKaze is currently ranked 1st on the Southern Ontario Melee Power Rankings.
