Over the years I’ve written quite a few articles for MLG. Not everything makes it onto the MLG site, so happy thanksgiving everyone; here are the profiles that never went up on the site, they were scraped at the end of 2006. Sigh. Some have intros, some don’t, depending on when I received them in relation to when it became apparent the profiles wouldn’t go up.-------------------------Long time veteran Azen returned from a brief hiatus in 2006 to take the MLG circuit by storm. Considered the most diverse Smasher in the nation, Azen has a tendency to use just about any character in a tournament, donning the nickname “the Master of Diversity” by his peers. Usually sporting slick backed hair and a button down shirt, he treats each event with an unusual amount of style and a professional demeanor. Always aspiring to learn and be the best at whatever he does, Azen’s will to succeed is only overshadowed by his good will and charm.Most that meet Azen are surprised to find a player as down to earth and willing to play as much as he is. He can and will sit, hours on end, playing the same person, no matter their skill level. Most important to him are his friends, without them it is likely Azen would still be on hiatus. His mentality is to only play games while they are fun, and without having friends to play with, it isn’t fun. Few players have more raw skill and understanding for the game then Azen does, and it shows each time he makes a come back and each time he beats a new strategy.Name: Christopher McMullenAlias: Azen ZageniteBirthday: 12/20/1986Hometown: Alexandria, VAPro Player Of: Smash Singles/TeamsPro Since: MLG Orlando 2006Other Favorite Games: Other multiplayer games my friends like, RPG’s,Step maniaFavorite Stages: FD, Pokemon Stadium, Kirby 64Favorite Characters: EveryoneLeast Favorite Match Up: Playing a sandbaggerController Color: SilverX or Y: XL or R: LStrengths: Forward SmashWeaknesses: Very predictableFavorite Teammate: Chillindude829Career Goals in Life: Something with computers, maybe games.Smash Career Highlights: Beating KenLikes: Games, Computers, Music, FoxesDislikes: Manacloud, SatanOrigin of Handle: Role Playing CharacterFirst Competitive Gaming Memory: Playing against friends in games since Iwas little.MLG Altanta 2004: 1st place teams (with Chillin), 1st place singlesMLG Boston 2004: 1st place teams (with Wes), 1st place singlesMLG Finals 2004: 2nd place teams (with Wes), 4th place singlesMLG Philly 2005: 2nd place teams (with Husband), 13th place singlesMLG Nashville 2005: 1st place teams (with Husband), 4th place singlesMLG Seattle 2005: 2nd place teams (with Husband), 1st place singlesMLG LA 2005: 2nd place teams (with Chu), 5th place singlesMLG Atlanta 2005: 3rd place teams (with Oro), 2nd place singlesMLG Finals 2005: 2nd place teams (with Chillin), 9th place singlesMLG Chicago 2006: 1st place teams (with Chillin), 4th place singlesMLG Orlando 2006: 2nd place teams (with Chillin), 1st place singles---------------------ChuDat became widely known in 2004 after taking 3rd place at SoCal’s highly anticipated TG6. Since then he has been a top 3 placer at almost every major tournament in the country, becoming Smash’s second most consistent singles player behind only Ken. Since entering the MLG scene in 2005, ChuDat has shown through his unique style that a character cannot be simply defined by its attributes, but instead by how it is used by the player.He was one of the first players to ever experiment using characters once considered less-then-tournament worthy. After meeting success early and often though, many of these more obscure characters, like the Ice Climbers, Young Link, and Mr. Game and Watch, have become well known. ChuDat has coined the catch phrase “Yayuhz” within the Smash community to accentuate some of his more particularly impressive combos. Additionally his famous “ChuDat Pose”, where he uses his index finger and thumb to frame his face, is now widely copied. Definitely one of the most interesting players to watch, ChuDat continues to mature and evolve his style as the Smash scene changes.Name: Daniel Mark RodriguezAlias: ChuDatBirthday: January 16th, 1987Hometown: Falls Church, VirginiaPro Player Of: Smash Singles and DoublesPro Since: MLG NY 2006 (Opener)Other Favorite Games: Advance Wars, Custom Robo, Rampart, MegamanFavorite Stages: Final Destination, Pokemon StadiumFavorite Characters: Ice ClimbersLeast Favorite Match Up: Ice Climbers versus PeachController Color: Special ChuDat Platinum controllerX or Y or Both: XL or R or Both: LStrengths: GrabzWeaknesses: PeachFavorite Teammate: ManacloudCareer Goals in Life: Not sure yet, but hopefully I’ll be handsome and successful.Smash Career Highlights: Winning MLG Nashville last season!Likes: IceDislikes: FireOrigin of Handle: True that?

Known for his ability to bring his game up a notch when the situation demands it, HugS became the final person to secure one of seven automatic bids to Vegas in 2006. This is similar to his 2005 performance where HugS placed 1st in LA’s Last Chance Qualifier. What makes him stand out isn’t just his ability to play though, it is also who he plays as. Most Pro’s rely on multiple characters to win, using different counter picks and scenarios to overcome the opposition. HugS plays as Samus—and only as Samus, a rare feat in today’s world of competitive Smash. He is almost single handedly responsible for keeping Samus at the forefront of professional Smash.An icon for what can be accomplished with work, effort, and experience, Hugs has started to give back to the community. Early in 2006, HugS became the West Coast reprehensive for Smash on gameing-lessons.com. Unlike his Halo counterparts, HugS must personally travel to another player’s location. Such is the level of his nearly unparalleled dedication, not only to his own improvement, but to his fellow players and the community.Name: Hugo GonzalezAlias: HugSBirthday: 01/21/1986Hometown: San Fernando Valley, CAPro Player Of: Smash Singles and DoublesPro Since: Beginning of the MLG 2006 season.

I went in thinking I was going to take everyone out, including ken. I ended up losing to a player named Panda and Ken's sister Helen who was 14 at the time.

(Helios)------------One of the most legendary names in the Smash community, Isai’s career with MLG stems over three seasons as one of the top players on the circuit. While he is a strong singles player, most consider his greatest potential to be in doubles play. Usually using a mix of Sheik or Falcon, he is constantly aware of where his team mate Ken is on the stage, to such a degree that it is not uncommon to witness Isai save Ken several times in stunning, often unpredictable ways, during each match. Such consistent skill has earned him the reputation as the best doubles partner in all of Smash. Together, he and Ken hold the longest undefeated streak in Smash history, stemming over 2 years.Aside from his ability in teams, when most people think of Isai, they think of one of the friendliest Smashers on the tour, as proof of his 2nd place award in the 2005 MLG Pro Choice Awards for friendliest Smasher. He approaches the game with a light hearted attitude but is known to turn it up a notch when it really counts. Looked up to for both his seniority and his innovative Falcon play, Isai is often asked for advice from fellow Smashers. His usual “don’t get hit” response has become a catch phrase in the Smash community to help explain, in simple manners, his key to success. Much of his success in Melee can be attributed to the previous Smash experience on the N64, where Isai is held as the best player in the world.Name: Joel Isai AlvaradoAlias: IsaiBirthday: March 17, 1985Hometown: San Jose, CaliforniaPro Player Of: SSBM singles and doublesPro Since: MLG NY (Opener)Other Favorite Games: Super Smash Brothers, Super Puzzle Fighter II X, Perfect DarkFavorite Stages: Pokemon Stadium, Icicle Mountain, Hyrule TempleFavorite Characters: NoneLeast Favorite Match Up: Falcon versus FalcoController Color: 1/2 Orange 1/2 ClearX or Y: XL or R or Both: L for L-canceling R for blocking/air dodging/wavedashingStrengths: Wavedashing with Samus that's about it.Weaknesses: I kill myself a lot.

He slowly moved from being the player to beat on the West Coast to asserting his dominance over an entire country, and eventually the world donning the kick name “The King of Smash”. Considered to have practically invented how the character Marth is played, Ken’s aggressive yet patient style has been mimicked by many but none have managed to duplicate it with the same success. He is known for his patented “Ken Combo” where he sets up the opponent for a series of F-air’s and finishes with a D-air spike. His ability to land such a combo repeatedly in tournament play is largely because of his precision spacing, allowing himself the perfect set up for devastating combos.Until late in the 2006 season Ken had never lost a doubles tournament when teaming with Isai. Their winning streak lasted over 3 years and at tournaments all over the country. While this streak finally did end, they are still considered to be the absolute peak of what a Smash team can produce, largely from their years of teamwork with each other. Ken enjoys support from his family at just about every tournament he attends, including his brother Manacloud who is a pro doubles player.Name: Ken HoangAlias: SephirothKenBirthday: 10/10/1985Hometown: The OC, CaliforniaPro Player Of: Smash Singles and DoublesPro Since: MLG NY 2006 (Opener)Other Favorite Games: Mario Party Series, Squaresoft Rpg'sFavorite Stages: Termina BayFavorite Characters: MarthLeast Favorite Match Up: Marth against FalcoController Color: Teal/ClearX or Y or Both: XL or R or Both: LStrengths: Ice Climbers, MarthWeaknesses: Fox, Falco, Sheik, PeachFavorite Teammate: IsaiLikes: Banana splits, Yaki Niku and sleepingDislikes: Waking up early, celeryOrigin of Handle: N/AFirst Competitive Gaming Memory: So far back I can’t remember.Competitive Gaming History:20041st - MLG 2004 Season Finals New York1st - MLG 2004 Season points20051st - MLG 2005 (Season Opener Tournament) DC 1st teams with Isai1st - MLG 2005 (Season Tournament) San Francisco, 1st teams with Isai2nd - MLG 2005 (West Coast Regional’s) Los Angeles, 1st teams with Isai1st - MLG 2005 (East Coast Regional’s) Atlanta, 1st teams with Isai1st - MLG 2005 (Central Regional’s) Chicago, 1st teams with Isai1st - MLG 2005 Season Finals New York, 1st teams with Isai1st - MLG 2005 Season points leader20062nd - MLG 2006 (Season Tournament) New York, 1st teams with Isai1st - MLG 2006 (Season Tournament) Dallas, 1st teams with Isai1st - MLG 2006 (Season Tournament) Anaheim, 1st teams with Isai1st - MLG 2006 (Season Tournament) Chicago, 2nd teams with Isai5th - MLG 2006 (Season Tournament) Orlando, 1st teams with Isai7th – MLG 2006 (Playoff Tournament) New York, 3rd teams with Isai--------------------Name: Daniel HutchinsonAlias: (The) KingBirthday: 8/23/1985Hometown: Concord, CaliforniaPro Player Of: (Smash singles, doubles, or both) Smash Singles & DoublesPro Since: MLG Dallas 2006Other Favorite Games: Monopoly, Call Of Duty 2, Both Paper Marios, Super Mario RPG, Halo 2, Roller Coaster Tycoon, Soul Calibur 2, EarthboundFavorite Stages: Fountain of Dreams, Dreamland, Mute City, Yoshi's Story, Brinstar, Mushroom Kingdom 2Favorite Characters: Marth, Doctor Mario, Sheik, Captain Falcon, Fox, Ganondorf, and JigglypuffLeast Favorite Match Up: (Character X versus Character Y, except not Pichu versus Marth if you catch my drift): Jigglypuff vs Sheik (it's so gay =/ )Controller Color: All Gold.X or Y or Both: Only X.L or R or Both: Only L.Strengths: I know everything about all of Jigglypuff's matchups, I have excellent execution, I take few unnecessary risks, I have excellent prediction skills, I read and catch onto opponent's tendencies very quickly, and I have crazy combos.Weaknesses: I use Jigglypuff, I sometimes pass up kill opportunities just to attempt flashier kills/combos, I sometimes trust my approaches too much and don't fully think them through and rush into traps.Favorite Teammate: A toss-up between fellow crewmates Germ, Zelgadis, and Bob$Career Goals in Life: Receive Bachelors/Masters in Business and/or Economics, own a nice house =)Smash Career Highlights: Winning my first Biweekly, Winning the majority of norcal biweeklies, placing 5th at MLG Dallas, Placing 9th in singles/teams and winning International Crew Battle at OC2, qualifying for singles/teams for NY Playoffs and qualifying for teams (and hopefully singles) for Vegas Nationals.Likes: Good Company, People with a good sense of humor, Air Conditioning, Coke, Hamburgers, My two Cats, RoadtripsDislikes: Arrogance, Hot/Spicy foods, Mustard, Humidity.Origin of Handle: I used to main Link back in the day in SSBM, and one night my brother was complaining about how "cheap" link was, and said pick someone else because he'd never play my link again. So as I was bragging about how amazing I was to him (i was a total scrub back then in actuality), I just picked Jigglypuff for the first time ever, put on his Crown costume, and put my 4-letter tag to "KING". After beating him, I realized "maybe I've got something here". It's paid off nicely.First Competitive Gaming Memory: It's hard to say when a game can go from "just for fun" to "competitive", but it would either have to date back to when I started playing Monopoly, or when I used to compete with my cousin over NES Tetris to see who could get the highest score.Competitive Gaming History: (mention singles and doubles results, and who you teamed with, but only MLG events-I know it sucks but I can't do anything about it, sigh)SSBM - 2004N/ASSBM - 2005N/ASSBM - 2006MLG Dallas: 5th in Singles, 17th in Teams with DemisedMLG Anaheim: 9th in Singles, 7th in Teams with Mew2KingMLG Chicago: 13th in Singles, 5th in Teams with P.C.

He defeated Ken in a close 11 game set near his hometown of Port Chester, NY and almost repeated the feat later in Anaheim, narrowly losing in the last game of the set. PC Chris is one most exciting players to watch because of some of the insane combos he can pull off with Falco. He is known for performing long, high damage combos with fantastic finishes. Despite his late emergence on the competitive scene, he is now considered a real contender at each tournament he attends and is part of the elite group of players to actually defeat Ken in a tournament.PC Chris’s fun loving personality and laid back style have helped him emerge as one of Smash’s first icons. He thirsts for victory at each tournament he attends and anything less than first is a disappointment to him. Between tournaments he enjoys playing with his friends in the New York area, but also actively travels to other locations to play and hang out with other Smashers.Name: Christopher SzygielAlias: PC ChrisBirthday: 08/23/87Hometown: Port Chester, NYPro Player of: Smash Singles and DoublesPro Since: MLG NY ‘06Other Favorite Games: Mario bros. 3, Warcraft 3, DDR, Final Fantasy XFavorite Stages: Pokemon Stadium, Final DestinationFavorite Characters: Falco, Fox, Sheik, Marth, Ganondorf, PeachLeast Favorite Match Up: Falco versus Samus or Fox versus MarthX or Y: YL or R: BothStrengths: Crazy combos, Good directional influence, mediocre mind-gamesWeakness: I’m not that patient anymore like I used to be, I like to attack.Favorite Teammate: WesCareer Goals in Life: Don’t have one right now, but for now to excel in collegeSmash Career Highlights: Almost coming back from the losers bracket to beat ken in front of the huge screen.

He and his teammate Husband—the Newlyweds—were among the first to train specifically for teams and began to see the results of their hard work quickly, often setting an example of the usefulness for different team strategies.Outside of their teamwork, Wife and Husband helped found the Smash section on gaming-lessons.com, largely because of their great instructional skills (Husband is a personal trainer, and Wife is studying to be a teacher). Wife is known for using Peach for his entire Smash career, who meshes well with Husband’s Marth. Most revere him for his intelligence and consider him one of the smartest players to play the game. This helps bode well when doing instructions and teaching new players who need lessons how to play. In tournaments he is approachable, talkative, and nice to be around, almost always willing to offer some advice about the game.Name: Christopher FabiszakAlias: WifeBirthday: October 29, 1985Hometown: Ellicott City, MDPro Player Of: Smash singles and doublesPro Since: MLG NY ‘06Other Favorite Games: NoneFavorite Stages: Final Destination and Green GreensFavorite Characters: PeachLeast Favorite Match Up: Confess my weakness?
