mikeHAZE is a professional Melee and Brawl player who resides in Burbank, California. His main characters in Melee and Brawl are Fox and Marth, respectively. He is the host of the Elite 4 tournament series in southern California, and was a member of the Unity Ruleset Committee.
mikeHAZE was formerly ranked 6th on the West Coast Brawl Power Rankings.
Background
mikeHAZE began playing Melee in 2006, after seeing Hugo Gonzales play at a tournament his school held. His first tournament was Champ Combo: Yayuhzzzz Edition.
mikeHAZE eventually met a smasher by the name of INKS, who lived about 10 minutes away from him. Through INKS, mikeHAZE learned advanced techs. INKS eventually moved, however. mikeHAZE then ventured off to play new people, and is responsible for training/teaching smash to players such as Nes, Morb, and Tofu. He is responsible for the bringing together of a lot of the 818 smash community. He hosts smashfests at least a few times a week.
Up until April of 2007, mikeHAZE attended tournaments about 1-2 times a month, until he stopped playing the game when his musical career took off. He marched with the Velvet Knights Drum and Bugle Corps. which took up all of his summer and a lot of time prior to that.
In September of 2007, mikeHAZE began playing Melee again. Eventually, mikeHAZE grew close to fellow smashers Mango and LuCKy, and they invited mikeHAZE's (as the time) current crew (team 8bit - composed of Nes, Morb, and j666) to join Roundtable, forming the crew RoundBit.
As of 2008, mikeHAZE began playing Brawl for fun, while playing Melee competively throughout Southern California. After a 3rd place finish at Nexus 08, mikeHAZE retired from Melee.
mikeHAZE then played Super Smash Bros. Brawl competitively, and was ranked 3rd on the Southern California Power Rankings prior to his retirement. He traveled to Northern California about once every other month to compete with most smashers from the West Coast. He is still generally considered the best Brawl Marth player in the United States, as he has beat top players such as Ally before in tournament, and has significantly outperformed other Marths in the country.
After reportedly despising the "direction" in which the Brawl metagame had advanced towards, mikeHAZE returned to the Melee scene, still playing his former main, Fox. However, he has not made any significant impacts in tournaments since returning to the game.
