'''Victra''' is a Canadian ''[[Melee]]'' [[smasher]] and [[tournament director]] from Alberta, Canada. Victra is largely responsible for organizing the competitive ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' community in Edmonton, Alberta. As of the end of 2016, Victra has been largely inactive as a competitive player, but remains active as a community adviser and attends locals from time to time.

== Background ==
Victra became aware of the competitive ''Melee'' scene in late 2005 after reading a article about the game in issue 195 of Nintendo Power titled "Smash Planet". The article included such topics as [[SmashBoards]], {{Sm|Ken Hoang}}, [[MLG]], and rumours about a new installment of ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' tentatively titled ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. This article also included a brief description of [[wavedashing]] and other competitive techniques that had been discovered. Victra began to get involved with the [[SmashBoards]] website shortly after and started playing ''Melee'' more competitively. After this discovery, he began to teach what he learned to his friends and began building a community in his city in 2006 onwards.

Between 2009 and 2013, Victra shifted his focus towards his University studies. At the end of his senior year in 2013, Victra established a formal Super Smash Brothers student club that laid the foundation for a centralized community for the Alberta Smash scene. Victra continued his role as a community leader, tournament organizer, and top competitor in his region until 2016 when his activity began to decline as he shifted his focus towards his full time work as a civil engineer and his girlfriend. However, Victra remains an active presence online for his community acting as a community adviser for community and event decisions, and continues to attend locals from time to time.
