Player Background (Biography)

----- MenaRD ------
Saul Leonardo "MenaRD" Mena II is a Dominican Fighting Games player currently representing Bandits.

Mena is a two-time Capcom Cup champion, having won the 2017 and 2023 editions for Street Fighter V.

Hailing from the Dominican Republic, a country known for its talent pool but lack of finances for International travel, Mena started to gain attention for himself during the 2017 Capcom Pro Tour. He was first recognized for his success in the Latin American scene by winning his first 2017 CPT event at Game Over Tournament 2017, being signed by Rise Nation shortly after. More high placements followed in two Latin American online events (winning one after defeating Mono in final for the third event) as well as SoCal Regionals 2017 where he finished 4th.

His consistency allowed him to garner enough Tour points to qualify for that year’s Capcom Cup, at this time known as a Birdie specialist. Mena immediately upset the competition at the tournament, defeating Xian, Kazunoko and causing a huge shock by eliminating Daigo Umehara to proceed into Top-8. A convincing win against Itabashi Zangief set up a Winners Final against tournament favorite and 2017 EVO Champion Tokido, whom he lost to in a tight 2-3 set to be sent to the Losers Final. A 3-0 defeat of Nemo set up a Grand Final rematch against Tokido, where he shocked the world by defeating him in two best-of-five sets to become the first Latin-American to hoist the Capcom Cup and claim $250,000 in winnings. Mena invested the money developing the Dominican Fighting Game and esports communities, as well as forming Santo Domingo Tigers, a Dominican based esports organization.

In 2023, Mena returned to the top of the Street Fighter V scene by convincingly winning Capcom Cup IX, defeating rising stars EndingWalker and Zhen to become the first player to win 2 Capcom Cup titles.

----- Kakeru ------
"Kakeru" (previously known as "Uzura") is a Japanese Fighting Games player currently representing IBUSHIGIN.

Kakeru started playing fighting games in 2011, eventually becoming known for his Ryu in Street Fighter V.

Despite not being drafted for the Street Fighter League 2023, Kakeru was one of the first Japanese players to stand out during release of Street Fighter 6, earning a ticket to the Red Bull Kumite 2023 South Africa Last Chance Qualifier by dominating a very competitive online bracket with his JP. He proceeded to also dominate the competition at the Last Chance Qualifier and defeat NL and Problem X on his way to a strong 3rd-4th place finish in the first Premier invitational for Street Fighter 6. Kakeru attended EVO 2023 as one of the tournaments favorites, defeating Marvisto, Masoma, Acqua, NuckleDu and MenaRD on his way to Top 6. On the last day, he fell short of the Top 4 after losing to AngryBird and Tokido in back-to-back last hit, last round situations. A week after EVO Kakeru was invited to the Gamers8 SF6 invitational in Saudi Arabia, where he defeated NL, Valmaster, Daigo Umehara, Vxbao, MenaRD, Punk and AngryBird in a bracket-reset to take home $400,000 USD.
