| '''TR3GTheZ''' (colloquially referred to as '''The Z''') is a top professional ''[[Super Smash Bros. 64]]'' player currently ranked first on the [[Montreal Power Rankings#Smash_64|Montreal Smash 64 Power Rankings]] and formerly ranked 16th on the [[2017 64 League Power Rankings]], who is known as one of the best players in the world and the second best in Canada behind {{Sm|SuPeRbOoMfAn}}. He placed in the top 10 of national tournaments such as [[Apex 2015]] and [[Genesis 3]], and placed 2nd at [[Get On My Level 2016]]. His teammate of choice is {{sm|tacos}}, and the duo known as Team Luv has gone to Grand Finals of both Apex 2015 and Genesis 3. He is the head of [[TR3G]], a crew of {{SSB|Fox}} mains dedicated to advancing the character's [[metagame]].
| |
| | |
| The Z is known to be able to play virtually all characters at a top level, and as of mid-2017 has retired {{SSB|Pikachu}} and {{SSB|Kirby}} from his tournament play.
| |
| | |
| The Z currently plays for [[SSBMontreal]].
| |
| | |
| ==Tournament history==
| |
| The Z made his international debut in January 2014 at [[Apex 2014|Apex]]. He was placed in Pool 1, where he defeated {{sm|YBOMBB}} (then considered Canada's second best player) 2-1 before being sent to loser's bracket by the Japanese player {{sm|Merihim}} 1-2 and was later eliminated by {{sm|tacos}} 0-2 to ultimately land at 25th.
| |
| | |
| In March, he participated at [[Polybash XIII]] in Montreal where he beat notable American and Canadian players such as {{sm|Sex}} 2-0 and {{sm|Fireblaster}} 2-0, and notably defeated {{sm|Mew2King}} 3-1 using Donkey Kong. He placed 2nd, only losing to {{sm|KeroKeroppi}}.
| |
| | |
| In August, The Z traveled to New York and entered singles and doubles at [[Zenith 2014]]. There, he defeated Fireblaster 2-0 and {{sm|LD}} 2-0 before being sent to losers' bracket by {{sm|Wizzrobe}} 2-3. He then defeated {{Sm|Nintendude}} 2-0 and landed at 4th place after losing to KeroKeroppi 1-3. He won the doubles bracket, teaming with {{Sm|SuPeRbOoMfAn}}, defeating Nintendude and {{Sm|Firo}} 3-1 and 3-0 in Winners Finals and Grand Finals respectively.
| |
| | |
| The Z traveled to [[ECHO 2015 Winter]] in Ottawa in early January 2015, the strongest ''Smash 64'' event in Canada in years, where he beat many notable Canadian players, outplaced YBOMBB and notably double-eliminated {{sm|Revan}} 3-0 and 3-2. He only lost to SuPeRbOoMfAn, solidifying his place as Canada's second strongest player.
| |
| | |
| On January 31st, 2015, The Z entered singles at [[Apex 2015]] in Secaucus, New Jersey. After defeating {{sm|Aisengobay}} 2-0 and {{Sm|Cobr}} 2-0, he entered Top 16 through losers after a 1-2 set against KeroKeroppi, defeated {{sm|Killer}} 2-1 and landed at 9th place after losing to {{sm|Dext3r}} 1-2. He also entered doubles, teaming with tacos, where they took convincing victories over formidable teams, such as a 3-1 victory against {{sm|Banze}} and {{sm|Cabelo}}, 3-0 against Dext3r and Wizzrobe, and 3-0 against {{sm|Star King}} and Killer (after losing to them 2-3 in winners' side). They then played SuPeRbOoMfAn and {{sm|JaimeHR}} in Grand Finals, where they lost 0-3, taking second place.
| |
| | |
| At [[GENESIS 3]], The Z placed 9th in singles. He had a very strong performance in doubles teaming with tacos, defeating Fireblaster & Nintendude 2-0, {{sm|Pete}} and Dext3r 2-0, {{sm|wario}} and {{sm|wangera}} 3-2 and {{sm|Isai}} and {{sm|Rith}} 3-1. They placed second behind SuPeRbOoMfAn and JaimeHR in Grand Finals, losing 2-6.
| |
| | |
| At [[Get On My Level 2016]], The Z faced Nintendude in finals of his pools, where he won 2-0. He then played Revan and won 2-1 and was sent to losers bracket in Winners' semis by SuPeRbOoMfAn 3-0. He then played an extremely close set against {{Sm|Derek}}, against whom he performed a 3-0 comeback including a 4 stock comeback during the fourth game. In loser's semis, The Z faced Revan again, this time taking a 3-0 victory, and defeated KeroKeroppi 3-0 in Losers' Finals to face SuPeRbOoMfAn again in Grand Finals, where the latter won 3-0.
| |
|
| |
|
| | '''The Z''' (also known as '''Mr Bushido''' and a myriad of alternate names, previously '''Zenyore''') is amongst the strongest ''Smash 64'' players in Canada. He can play most characters at a top level, but [[mains]] {{SSB|Fox}} and is known for his fast-paced {{SSB|Donkey Kong}}, which he used to defeat {{sm|Mew2King}} and {{sm|Killer}}'s {{SSB|Kirby}} in tournament sets. He is a previous member of the top online crew ''[[PPS]]''. |

| ===''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''=== | | ==Trivia== |
| {|class="wikitable" style="text-align:center" | | *Although previously a {{SSB|Captain Falcon}} main, The Z has stated on multiple occasions that he dislikes playing as and against him the most, even going as far as to call the character a "dumbass." This is because he believes that Captain Falcon is the easiest character to play in the game, requiring very little technical and cerebral skill compared to other characters. |
