Carl “Perfect Legend” White is a four-time fighting game world champion, author, teacher, coach, commentator, tournament organizer, and full-time content creator. Based in Toledo, Ohio, he is widely recognized as one of the hardest-working and most outspoken competitors in the history of the fighting game community.
Perfect Legend began competing at 17 years old in 2005, winning his very first tournament. In 2006, he earned his first Dead or Alive 4 world championship, going on to win two more and establishing himself as one of the strongest multi-game players on the planet.
In 2007, he won the World Cyber Games USA Championship, later placing third in the world finals, helping secure the United States’ #1 overall medal finish.
A year later, he competed on the international stage as part of Los Angeles CompLexity in the Championship Gaming Series, contributing to the team’s pursuit of a national title.
In Mortal Kombat, Perfect Legend is the only player in history to make Top 8 at EVO all three years Mortal Kombat 9 was featured — including back-to-back world championships. His dominance and consistency have cemented him as the greatest Mortal Kombat 9 player of all time.
He has also placed highly in every major fighting game he has taken seriously, including the Street Fighter series, Tekken, Killer Instinct, Injustice, Dragon Ball FighterZ, and more.
Today, Perfect Legend plays and creates content for a wide range of fighting games — including Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, and multiple SNK titles — while continuing to train for major events such as the Capcom Cup, SNK World Championships, the Olympic Esports Series, and other global tournaments.
