Biography[edit | edit source]

Origin

Savage started playing Melee when he was introduced to the game by Dr. Dread. Dr. Dread taught him the basics, and he ended up maining Samus, also developing a Falco to counter Dr. Dread's own Falco. He frequently played in the library, picking up decent wins over other players there while improving as a player immensely in a short period. He performed admirably at several library tournaments, and was a threat going into The Smash Burros.

The Smash Burros

Savage was expected to perform well at the first tournament held at The Smash Burros, but ended up performing poorly due to the tournament's odd structure. The single-elimination tournament with virtually random seeding put him up against Isaac round one. Isaac was an unknown Jigglypuff player, but was surprisingly skilled, swiftly defeating Savage 2 - 0. Since the tournament was single-elimination, Savage was eliminated at last place.

The Smash Burros III

After being disqualified from The Smash Burros II, Savage had not performed well at any tournaments in the club so far. After an entire summer of a lack of practice, expectations weren't too high -- but Savage managed to perform well out of expectations. His first match was against Hiku, where he was the lower seed. However, Savage managed to win, in an upset that sent him straight to winners top eight to fight against Phobia. The momentum from the win against Hiku helped him win a game against Phobia's Captain Falcon, which was the first time Phobia had ever lost a game at the club. However, Savage lost 1 - 2, falling to Phobia's Marth. In losers bracket, his next opponent was Anthony, who he has played many times in the past at the library. Anthony came out on top over Savage's Falcon, but Savage switched to Samus and took the second game, tying the set at 1 - 1. In an incredibly close last-stock, last-hit game, Savage came out on top after Anthony's Peach SD'd. Savage advanced in the tournament to fight Hiku, where he again defeated him 2 - 0, double-eliminating the Fox main. Savage's run ended when he ran into Static, who swiftly defeated him in a 0 - 2 loss. Savage placed third at The Smash Burros III, exceeding expectations.
