'''Azen Zagenite''' ("AH"-Zen- ZAYG-night) or just '''Azen''', is an American professional [[smasher]] who mains {{SSBM|Marth}} (and formerly {{SSBM|Sheik}}) in ''[[Melee]]'' and {{SSB4|Lucario}} in both ''[[Brawl]]'' and ''[[SSB4]]''. Azen was considered one of the best players in the world, as well as the best player on the East Coast in the early years of competitive Melee from around 2002 to his initial retirement in 2007. Although he primarily used Marth and Sheik in ''Melee'' tournaments, Azen was known for his ability to use multiple characters at the competitive level, leading some to call him '''The Master of Diversity''' and similar nicknames. He was formerly ranked 18th on the [[MD/VA/DE Power Rankings|MD/VA/DE Melee Power Rankings]]. | '''Azen Zagenite''' ("AH"-Zen- ZAYG-night) or just '''Azen''', is an American professional [[smasher]] who mains {{SSBM|Marth}} (and formerly {{SSBM|Sheik}}) in ''[[Melee]]'' and {{SSB4|Lucario}} in both ''[[Brawl]]'' and ''[[SSB4]]''.

The act of airdodging off an edge in an attempt to ledgedash is sometimes referred to as an "Azendash," after Azen infamously committed a critical technical error in a tournament match against {{Sm|Captain Jack}}. Azen (as Marth) held a slight advantage over Captain Jack (as Sheik); both had three stocks, but Azen had a percent lead of over 60%. After Azen was thrown off the stage, he recovered with [[Dolphin Slash]], then immediately tried to [[ledgedash]] backwards to grab the ledge again, presumably with the intention of playing defensively and keeping his lead; however, he ended up airdodging down and away from the ledge instead, causing him to self-destruct. After this error, Azen lost to Jack by two stocks; this was especially significant because it was the last game of their set, so this mistake was seen as Azen essentially throwing away his chances at advancing further in the tournament. | The act of airdodging off an edge in an attempt to ledgedash is sometimes referred to as an "Azendash," after Azen infamously committed a critical technical error in a tournament match against {{Sm|Captain Jack}}.
