However, Wobbles defeated Mango 1-2, sending him to the losers bracket before top 8. Mango cruised to winners semis of his day 2 pool, with only Axe putting up much of a fight. With the biggest Melee tournament at the time on the main stage of the biggest fighting game tournament, and Armada coming out of retirement, the winner of EVO would be the definitive best player in the world. Mango also took Zenith 2013, which had the Five Gods minus the retired Armada present, over Hungrybox after taking out Dr. Europe's first big Armada-less tournament proved to be a victory for Mango, though Ice put up a fight, taking a set from him in grand finals. Mango showed a return to form in 2012 with wins in tournaments such as MELEE-FC10R Legacy and The Big House 2 over Hungrybox.Īfter Armada's retirement after Apex 2013, Mango went to Europe with Scar to take on Europe's best at B.E.A.S.T 3. This time, however, Armada would win the tournament 3-2 over Mango's Fox.
He returned to his Fox and Falco for GENESIS 2, and met Armada in grand finals from losers side. He continued to use exclusively his secondaries in tournaments such as Pound V and Revival of Melee 3, falling short of top 8 both times. Despite this claim, Mango only got 25th, losing to Wobbles and Eggz.
Scorpion Master's backstory was that he was a prodigious player from Mexico named Joshua Lopez who was prepared to place top 3 at Apex 2010. Despite originally planning to use either Luigi or Samus, Mango eventually decided upon using Mario. This kicked off the Mango vs Armada rivalry that continues to this day, with Armada holding a lead.Īfter being banned from the Smash World Forums, Mango and a few other players from his region decided to prank the smash community by sandbagging at tournaments under the alias ScorpionMaster94. After a quick 3-0 of Hungrybox in losers finals, Mango switched to Puff and won both grand finals sets in one of the greatest grand finals in Melee history. At GENESIS, he met the European champion Armada in winners finals and was defeated using Falco. He cemented himself as the best Melee player after winning Revival of Melee in 2009 over Mew2King.īetween Pound 3 and Revival of Melee, Mango picked up Falco and was winning California tournaments with his Falco, showing that he wasn't winning because of Jigglypuff. This run included victories over Azen, ChuDat, PC Chris, and finally Mew2King in 2 grand finals sets. He won his first national at Pound 3 at the age of 16, performing the first of his many historic losers bracket runs. He first became noticed at EVO World 2007 when he was 15, defeating both Mew2King and Ken before falling to HugS in winners finals, then Ken in a rematch in loser's finals, finishing 3rd. Because of his innovations and dominance with Jigglypuff from 2007 to 2009, Mango, along with Hungrybox, is generally credited for Jigglypuff's large jump in the Melee tier list, from being tied with Captain Falcon at 6th/7th to 3rd in the subsequent list. He has found tournament success with Falco, Fox, Jigglypuff, Mario, Captain Falcon, Link, and Marth. Mango is a Melee player from Norwalk, California and is famous for being able to play almost any character at a competitive level. 1.11.2 Smash Summit 11: The Return of Offline.
