Kage The Warrior (pronounced "kah-gay") is a 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 Mango, who was considered the best player in the world in the time, with a 2-0 victory in Winners Quarters (with a 3-stock against Mango's Falcon) and a 2-1 victory in Losers Semifinals. However, he lost to Hungrybox in Winners Semis and 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 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 Captain Falcon. On July 29th 2016, he was picked up by Synthetik Gaming.
