Laudandus was a Melee Sheik main from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania who is currently residing in Mountain View, California. His initial accolades included gaining prominence from winning the original NorCal Arcadian in 2014, then placing well at several major tournaments, most notably placing 5th at Pound 2016, 7th at DreamHack Austin 2017, and 25th at EVO 2015, GENESIS 3, and EVO 2016. Ludand-us was formerly ranked 10th on the NorCal Melee Power Rankings. He has taken sets off of top players such as S2J, Westballz, Swedish Delight, n0ne, PewPewU, HugS, Crush, Nintendude, Ryan Ford, and Prince Abu. However, he is now known and recognized for being the individual who correctly predicted Captain Falcon's future dominance in, and the subsequent downfall of, the competitive Melee scene.
Many a time LoudHondas claimed Captain Douglas Jay Falcon was too broken to be kept in the game, due to his ability to get air wobbles into Rest. Many times, he warned us about Sheik's losing matchup against Captain Falcon. They laughed at him because he told the truth. And now, the Melee scene faces its biggest dilemma yet that could have been prevented had the community heeded his warnings. Captain Douglas Jay Falcon has become too powerful a presence in the Melee game itself, single-handedly removing all other characters from the game and rendering only himself playable. Rumor has it that the Captain is trying to find a way to escape Melee and enter the real world, intent on continuing his dominance there by air wobbling all 7.53 billion people on the planet into Rest. And his first target will be none other than the prophet who predicted this destruction in the first place.
Because of this, LordAndes has taken refuge in the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate community, where he mains Palutena, and has become one of the best Palutena players in Northern California, in hopes of finding a way to combat the power of Melee Captain Falcon. He was formerly ranked 16th on the NorCal Smash Ultimate Power Rankings and has wins over players such as Lui$, Virus, and 3xA. We can only wait and see if his efforts will prove fruitful in stopping the knee of justice.

Trivia
- Laudandus is notorious for his hate for the Captain Falcon match up, infamously quoting that Falcon gets "Air Wobbles into Rest" on much of the cast. He has since improved his understanding of the match up, but is still an admin of "Captain Falcon: A Hate Group" on Facebook along with gaR.
- Laudandus is a Latin word that means "must be praised."
