Kage The Warrior (pronounced "kah-gay") is a Ganondorf player from Canada. He is considered to be the best Melee Ganondorf player in the world. Kage rose to notoriety for his upset at Revival of Melee 2 where he double eliminated Mango, who was considered the best player in the world in the time, with a 2-0 victory in Winners' Quarters (with a 3-stock against Mango's Falcon) and a 2-1 victory in Losers' Semifinals. However, he lost to Hungrybox in Winners' Semis and Dr. PeePee in Losers' Finals. Kage continues to be a threat in the Melee scene, consistently placing high at tournaments even with a mid-tier character, and is ranked 3rd on the Montreal Power Rankings for both Melee and Project M. At EVO 2015, he and Bizzarro Flame finally had their $100 money match at the Salty Suite, with Kage taking a convincing 5-0 victory.
