'''DaShizWiz''' is a {{SSBM|Falco}} player from Florida, who was considered to be one of the best Falco mains in the world in the pre-[[platinum age]] era, and was still a very strong Falco player after, being ranked 74th on the [[2018 MPGR]]. Influenced by {{Sm|Bombsoldier}}'s videos and by fellow Falco main {{Sm|Lambchops}}' coaching, he improved very quickly and became very successful in the ''Melee'' scene. In his career, he has taken sets off of top players such as {{Sm|Westballz}}, {{Sm|Swedish Delight}}, {{Sm|Gahtzu}}, {{Sm|Hax}}, {{Sm|ChuDat}}, {{Sm|Chillin}}, {{Sm|Abate}}, and {{Sm|aMSa}}, and has had very close and intense sets against the likes of {{Sm|Mango}}, {{Sm|Dr. PeePee}}, and {{Sm|Mew2King}}. At [[FAST 1]], he managed to 3-stock and 2-stock Mew2King in tournament; although he ended up losing the set, he only lost to Mew2King by one stock each time. They played again in Losers' Finals at the first [[Revival of Melee]] in another intense set, where Mew2King defeated him 3-1. The [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qna80MbcAAc fourth and final match] in particular is one of the most viewed competitive ''Smash'' videos to date, and is often seen as one of the greatest matches of all time.

After a hiatus, Shiz returned to the ''Melee'' scene in 2015. His big return to form was with his [[Paragon Orlando 2015]] attendance, where he swept through his pool and garnered himself a solid 25th place finish in the main bracket. This return from hiatus was relatively short-lived due to a number of personal reasons, including some controversial run-ins with the law, which prompted responses from a number of top-players.  

Shiz returned to the ''Melee'' scene once again in 2017. While many still have doubts about Shiz and his behavior, he has been allowed to compete in major tournaments like [[EVO 2017]] and [[Too Hot to Handle]], where he was able to upset {{Sm|Gahtzu}} and {{Sm|Swedish Delight}} respectively. While DaShizWiz is not as active as he was before, he does have an active stream and plans to attend more tournaments in the future.
