'''Kage The Warrior''' (pronounced "kah-gay") is a {{SSBM|Ganondorf}} player from Canada, considered to be the best in the world. Kage rose to notoriety for his upset at [[Revival of Melee 2]] where he double eliminated {{Sm|Mango}}, who was considered the best player in the world in the time, with a 2-0 victory in Winners Quarters (with [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mi29XrtA7rg a 3-stock against Mango's Falcon]) and a 2-1 victory in Losers Semifinals. However, he lost to {{Sm|Hungrybox}} in Winners Semis and {{Sm|PPMD}} in Losers Finals. Kage continues to be a threat in the ''Melee'' scene, consistently placing high at tournaments even with a mid-tier character. He is ranked 1st and 3rd on the [[Montreal Power Rankings]] for ''Melee'' and ''[[Project M]]'', respectively, and 70th on the [[2016 SSBMRank]]. At [[EVO 2015]], he and {{Sm|Bizzarro Flame}} finally had their $100 [[money match]] at the Salty Suite, with Kage taking a convincing 5-0 victory. After [[EVO 2016]], he announced his intentions to focus more on his other characters, and less on Ganondorf, but still continues to primarily play Ganondorf and {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}}. On July 29th 2016, he was picked up by [[Synthetik Gaming]].
