Career

[edit]
Mango in 2014

Mango began his career as a Jigglypuff player, citing Canadian Jigglypuff player The King as his inspiration.[15] He contributed to the character's rise in the Melee's list of character viability known as the tier list.[16][17] Mango entered EVO 2007, beating players such as Mew2King. He finished 3rd after losing to Ken Hoang. He placed 3rd in Singles at Super Champ Combo. In doubles, he also placed 3rd with his partner Lucky, after beating the team of Ken and Isai.[18]

Mango's first national tournament win was Pound 3 in 2008.[2][citation needed]

On July 10, 2009, Mango attended GENESIS, a tournament organized by San Francisco Melee crew DBR. With 290 entrants in Melee Singles, GENESIS was Melee's largest tournament at the time. Mango reached the Winners' Finals and lost 2–3 against Adam "Armada" Lindgren, a Peach player regarded as the best player in Europe. Mango reached Grand Finals to face Armada again and proceeded to win the tournament.[19]

He claimed 1st place at Pound 4, then the largest tournament in Melee history with over 300 entrants, defeating Hungrybox in Grand Finals.[citation needed]

After being banned on Smash World Forums, Mango, along with DBR and some buddies from his region,[20] decided to prank the rest of the Smash community by creating an alias known as ScorpionMaster94 and sandbag at a number of tournaments using Mario.

In 2011, Mango entered GENESIS 2 and reached Grand Finals against Armada. After a close and intense set, Mango ultimately placed 2nd, losing 2–3.[19]

Mango secured his position as the champion of North America by winning Revival of Melee 4, convincingly defeating Dr. PeePee 3–0 in Winners' Finals and 3–1 in Grand Finals.[citation needed]

At Apex 2012, Mango placed 3rd after losing 1–3 to Hungrybox in Losers' Finals. After Apex 2012, Mango began to regain the dominant lead he held back in 2008. He won IMPULSE, a Canadian national tournament, after defeating Dr. PeePee, Hungrybox, and Mew2King. Mango continued to defend his victory streak, convincingly defeating Hungrybox in Grand Finals at MELEE-FC10R Legacy and again at The Big House 2.[citation needed]

With his victory at Zenith 2013, Mango reached the Grand Finals and defeated Wobbles in 2 sets, 3-0 and 3–1 to become the champion. Following his EVO victory, he was considered to be the best player in the game.[24] After winning EVO 2013 and with the birth of his son, Mango announced that he would be taking a small hiatus from competitive Melee. In 2013, Mango became less active in gaming, choosing to spend more time with his family.[25] During this period he entered tournaments primarily with secondary characters, including placing 2nd at LANHAMMER 2013 with Marth and 2nd at Pound V.5 with Marth and Captain Falcon.
