Zanguzen is one of the very few professionals that have successfully maintained the position of a major tournament threat from the early years of the [[Golden age]] to the 2014 age and onward. It is interesting to note that at [[Apex 2015]], one of if not the largest Melee tournaments of all time, Zanguzen placed higher than {{sm|Ken}}, tied with {{sm|PC Chris}}, and placed just one spot lower than {{sm|KoreanDJ}}, three players who had dominated the Golden Age when Zanguzen was first active. | Zanguzen is one of the very few professionals that have successfully maintained the position of a major tournament threat from the early years of the [[Golden age]] to the 2014 age and onward.

Zang is well noted for his style of play, generally considered to be "old-school," relying on heavy reads, [[pillaring]], zoning with up-tilts, and patient laser camping instead of fast technical play seen in more current smashers such as {{sm|Westballz}}. | Zang is well noted for his style of play, generally considered to be "old-school," relying on heavy reads, [[Pillaring|pillaring]], zoning with up-tilts, and patient laser camping instead of fast technical play seen in more current smashers such as {{sm|Westballz}}. | ||
