'''Zantetsu''' is a Smasher who plays the original Super Smash Bros. While Melee is still one of his favorite games, he believes nothing can top the original smash.


'''Roman''', formerly known as '''BHLMRO''' and '''Zantetsu''', is an ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', and former ''[[Melee]]'', player who resides in Springfield, Missouri. He is currently ranked 1st on the [[Missouri Power Rankings]] for ''Smash 64'' and 50th on the [[2019-2020 Smash 64 Power Rankings]].


Roman began his competitive ''Smash'' career in June 2006 when he was only 12 years old. After seeing competitive matches on [[YouTube]], and learning of [[Kaillera]], he began playing ''Smash 64'' online and ''Melee'' with a friend. He stopped playing both games around 2009, after frustration of there being no nearby scenes to play with.
== History ==
Zantetsu began his smash career, like most people, by playing casually with friends on the block and eventually stumbling upon competitive matches on YouTube, which began his competitive career in smash. Zantetsu began by playing SSB64 online via "Kaillera" since he lived in a community where no one else played competitive smash besides one of his friends. His SSB64 spree went from June 2006 until he started to slowly disappear around 2009. While he was mostly a SSB64 player from 2006 until 2009, he did play Melee with a friend and ended up becoming competitive in that as well and showed up to 2 tournaments, one which was a Brawl launch tournament in St. Louis and the other was Event 52 which featured players such as "Scar", "Mew2King", "Colbol", "Cactuar", and more..


In January of 2011, {{Sm|Zivilyn Bane}}, a ''Melee'' player from California, moved into Roman's area and contacted him through [[SmashBoards]]. Interested in forming a scene, they met up and Roman began playing ''Melee'' again. Shortly after meeting, they discovered a ''[[Brawl]]'' monthly tournament series in the area through [[All is Brawl]]. Both players attended and started to play ''Melee'' alongside the ''Brawl'' tournaments, slowly converting ''Brawl'' players over to ''Melee''. This was the start of the Springfield ''Melee'' scene that has grown larger ever since.
From 2009 until 2011, Zantetsu had retired from SSB64 due to lag issues and from Melee due to not having a community. In January of 2011, Zantetsu discovered "Zivilyn Bane", a smasher who originated from California and Kansas City. "Zivilyn Bane" contacted Zantetsu on Smashboards informing him that he lives in Springfield and is interested in forming a crew. Zantetsu and "Zivilyn Bane" decided to meet at a casual smash tournament and played many friendlies. Since then, Zantetsu and "Zivilyn Bane" have converted 3-5 players into competitive Melee players and have been quite active in the Missouri smash scene since and have even hosted a Midwest Regional Tournament known as Midwest Improvement Smash Tournament (MIST) in their once non-existent smash community. They plan to attend the upcoming FC-LEGACY tournament in July of 2012.


In March of 2015, Roman had discovered {{Sm|WEEGRO}}, a Missouri ''SSB64'' player, at a local Springfield ''SSB64'' bar tournament. Upon discovering that a ''SSB64'' scene existed in the state and the game was finally flourishing from all over the world, Roman had decided to retire from ''Melee'' in August of 2015, and became an exclusive ''SSB64'' player.
== Trivia ==
*Zantetsu's old alias was "BHLMRO" which was changed in November of 2007.


==Tournament placings==
*Zantetsu also plays traditional fighters for fun, but takes "Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition" quite seriously.
