'''Vex Kasrani''' is a ''[[Brawl]]'' {{SSBB|King Dedede}} player from the United States who plays {{SSBB|Mr. Game & Watch}} as a secondary. He is {{Sm|Xzax}}'s cousin. Vex is one of the best {{SSBB|Bowser}} players in the United States, and is also considered one of the best King Dedede players in the world, managing to place quite well in regionals and nationals, and is the only King Dedede player to win a major, doing so at the invitational {{Trn|Monarch}}. He has defeated other top professionals such as {{Sm|ADHD}}, {{Sm|Xzax}}, {{Sm|Vinnie}}, {{Sm|Mr. R}}, {{Sm|Nakat}}, {{Sm|DEHF}}, {{Sm|Cody}} and {{Sm|Player-1}} in tournaments. He also plays a rather competent {{SSBM|Fox}} and {{SSBM|Falco}} in ''Melee'', but doesn't manage to place as well as he does in ''Brawl''. Vex is known for his incredible [[perfect shield]]ing abilities, being able to perfect shield large waves of fast projectiles consistently, as well as his preference of heavy characters outside of ''Melee''.

In ''[[Smash 4]]'', Vex was a notable {{SSB4|Donkey Kong}} player, and previously played {{SSB4|Bowser}} and {{SSB4|Ganondorf}}. Vex was formerly ranked 6th on the [[Philadelphia Power Rankings#Q2 2017|second quarter 2017 Philedelphia power rankings]], and once ranked as high as 1st in the [[Philadelphia Power Rankings#October 2016 - December 2016|last quarter of 2016]].
