'''ZeRo''' is a smasher from Chillán, Chile who currently resides in Florida. 

In ''[[Ultimate]]'', ZeRo is a {{SSBU|Diddy Kong}}, {{SSBU|Mario}}, and {{SSBU|Cloud}} player. He is also a notable [[commentator]] as he has commentated at tournaments such as {{Trn|CEO 2019}} and {{Trn|Overlords of Orlando: Ultimate Edition}}.

In ''[[Smash 4]]'', ZeRo is widely considered to be the best player of all time, being a dominant player up until his retirement from the game in January 2018.  With a combination of Diddy Kong and Sheik, he had a record of 56 consecutive tournament wins from the game's release on [[Wii U]] in November 2014 until {{Trn|MLG World Finals 2015}} in October 2015, including [[national tournament|nationals]] such as {{Trn|Apex 2015}}, {{Trn|CEO 2015}}, {{Trn|EVO 2015}}, {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2015}}, and {{Trn|The Big House 5}}. This is the longest such streak of any player in any ''Super Smash Bros.'' game.  He was also considered the best {{SSB4|Diddy Kong}} player in the world, the best {{SSB4|Lucina}} player in the world when he actively used her, and was considered the best {{SSB4|Sheik}} player in the world until summer 2016, when he relegated the character to a secondary in light of her nerfs. He also had strong {{SSB4|Cloud}} and {{SSB4|Captain Falcon}} secondaries, with his Captain Falcon often considered to be among the best in the world. ZeRo is ranked 1st on the [[PGR 100|Panda Global Rankings 100]], and was formerly ranked at the 0 position on both the [[Chicago Smash 4 Power Rankings]] and [[SoCal Smash 4 Power Rankings]] and 1st on the [[New Jersey Smash 4 Power Rankings]].

ZeRo has also seen great success in other ''Smash'' games. He dominated the Chilean ''[[Brawl]]'' scene with his {{SSBB|Meta Knight}} and rose to fame in the United States as a top player on [[All is Brawl]]. Due to consistently great tournament results such as 2nd at {{Trn|Apex 2014}} and 1st at {{Trn|Rescue 2}} and {{Trn|KTAR 9}}, he was considered to be one of the best players in the world in 2013 and 2014, and was ranked 3rd on the [[2014 SSBBRank]]. In ''[[Melee]]'', ZeRo mained {{SSBM|Fox}} and played from 2007 to 2010, and again starting in 2014 after focusing on ''Brawl'' in between. After qualifying for [[MLG Anaheim 2014]] and placing 17th at both {{Trn|CEO 2014}} and {{Trn|EVO 2014}}, he was ranked 35th on the [[2014 SSBMRank]]. He was also considered to be the best ''[[Project M]]'' player in the world during the 3.02 era in 2014, winning CEO 2014, {{Trn|Zenith 2014}}, {{Trn|GUTS 3}}, and {{Trn|The Big House 4}} with a combination of {{PM|Pit}} and {{PM|Fox}}. 

Due to his top professional success in multiple ''Smash'' games, ZeRo is widely considered to be one of the best overall ''Smash'' players of all time, along with {{Sm|Mew2King}}, {{Sm|Wizzrobe}}, {{Sm|Larry Lurr}}, {{Sm|Nairo}}, and {{Sm|ESAM}}.

On January 12, 2018, ZeRo announced an indefinite hiatus from competitive ''Smash 4'', citing disillusionment with the game and personal reasons. He since showed a renewed interest in ''Melee'', and was active on Netplay on [[Anther's Ladder]] for some time. He also occasionally commentated for ''Smash 4'', doing so at {{Trn|Midwest Mayhem 11}} and {{Trn|Smash 'N' Splash 4}} after his retirement. In addition, he regularly streamed ''Ultimate'', ''Melee'', and various other games on [https://www.twitch.tv/zero his Twitch channel].

On November 7th 2018, ZeRo announced that [[Tempo Storm]] would replace [[TSM]] as his sponsor, and that, after almost a year, he would come out of retirement to compete in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Despite this, he has not entered another ''Smash'' tournament since {{Trn|Smash Ultimate Summit}}. He instead gravitated towards content creation and streaming and stated he would not be returning to competing in the near future (though he has appeared at some tournaments for side events and commentary). In December 2019, ZeRo announced that as a part of a new deal, he would be leaving [[Twitch]] to stream on [[Facebook]] Gaming. 

On April 18th, 2020 ZeRo entered [[Trn|The Quarantine Series: Minor Tournament 1]] and briefly returned to competitive play. However, on May 31st, 2020 ZeRo once again announced his departure from competitive play, stating in a Twitter post "It was fun but the pressure & lifestyle is something I don't want again in my life."

==Tournament history==
{{cleanup|Too long, doesn't need so many tournament summaries}}
===2006: Early Beginnings===
ZeRo has played ''Smash'' since the release of ''Smash 64'' in 1999 when he was 4 years old, and has had "ZeRo" as his gamertag since 2005. He began playing competitively in 2006 with ''Melee''. Not much about his career during this time period is known until his first international tournament roughly 6 years later.

===2012-2013: Climbing To Be One Of The Best in ''Brawl'' ===
ZeRo's first international tournament was [[Apex 2012]], where he placed 17th in singles and 9th in doubles, teaming with {{Sm|Kadaj}}.

Shortly before [[Apex 2013]], ZeRo arrived in the United States to attend XSmash, and shocked the world by winning the tournament, defeating top professionals such as {{Sm|Vinnie}}, {{Sm|Nairo}}, and {{Sm|Mew2King}} during his march to victory. At Apex 2013, he placed 9th in singles and 13th in doubles, teaming with {{Sm|quiKsilver}}. ZeRo's last tournament on the East Coast during his stay was Rescue 2, which he won after defeating Nairo in two consecutive sets during grand finals. A week later, he traveled to the Midwest to attend Outrage, which he won after defeating players such as {{Sm|Ally}} and {{Sm|Zinoto}}. Before leaving the United States to return to Chile, ZeRo was honorably ranked 2nd on the [[Tristate Power Rankings|Tristate Brawl Power Rankings]], behind Mew2King.

Later that year, ZeRo traveled to the United States in preparation for [[SKTAR 2]]. Here, ZeRo placed 4th in doubles, teaming with Ally, losing to {{Sm|Nakat}} and {{Sm|False}} in winners' semis and Nairo and {{Sm|ADHD}} in losers' semis. In singles, ZeRo got 1st seed in his bracket pool after defeating {{Sm|Atomsk}} in winners' finals. In winners' quarters, he lost to ADHD 1-2 in a close set, getting timed out and losing the percentage lead at the very last second of game 3. ZeRo then took out {{b|SKTAR|tournament}} champion Nairo 2-1 and ESAM 2-0 in losers' bracket before being eliminated by {{Sm|Nakat}} 1-2 in losers' quarters, placing 5th.

===2014: Final Year Before ''Smash 4''===
ZeRo attended [[Apex 2014]] five months later. He defeated Ally in winners' quarters before losing to ESAM 0-2 in winners' semis, and then proceeded to eliminate ADHD 2-1, Mew2King 2-0, and ESAM 3-0 in a rematch in losers' bracket, making it to grand finals against Nairo. ZeRo ultimately lost to Nairo 1-3 and placed 2nd in singles after some very close and exciting matches. He also placed 5th in doubles, teaming with {{Sm|Chibo}}, defeating several teams such as Nakat and False, and also almost defeating Nairo and ADHD.

ZeRo's next appearance was at the MLG sponsored ''Smash'' event [[Shuffle V]] in Columbus, Ohio. In ''Brawl'' singles, he placed 1st after defeating ADHD 2-0, Mew2King 2-1, and Vinnie 3-2 in winners finals. He lost to Vinnie 2-3 in the first set of grand finals, but still won the second set 3-1. ZeRo also placed 13th in ''Melee'' singles, 3rd in ''Melee'' doubles with {{Sm|Nintendude}}, 13th in ''Project M'' singles, and 1st in ''Project M'' doubles with {{Sm|Denti}}. 

ZeRo would then travel to several qualifiers for the ''Melee'' event at [[MLG Anaheim 2014]]. At [[Fighters' Edge]], he placed 5th in ''Melee'' singles and 2nd in ''Project M'' singles. At [[WHOBO MLG]] one week later, ZeRo placed 1st in ''Brawl'' singles, ''Project M'' singles, and ''Project M'' doubles with Denti. He also placed 2nd in ''Brawl'' doubles with Denti, and 4th in ''Melee'' singles.

ZeRo then attended [[SKTAR 3]] the week after. In ''Brawl'' singles, he was knocked out of winners' bracket 1-2 by ADHD, and then eliminated {{Sm|Vex}} 2-0, Vinnie 2-1, and Ally 2-0, before being eliminated by Nairo 1-2, placing 4th. He placed 4th in ''Brawl'' doubles with Vex, 9th in ''Project M'' singles, and 1st in ''Project M'' doubles with {{Sm|Rolex}}, defeating Mew2King and {{Sm|Armada}} 3-2 in both winners' finals and grand finals. Lastly, ZeRo placed 9th in ''Melee'' singles, notably eliminating {{Sm|HugS}} and {{Sm|Darc}} in losers' bracket before losing to {{Sm|SFAT}} 0-2. This placement, coupled with ZeRo's placements at previous qualifiers, allowed him to qualify for the championship bracket at MLG Anaheim 2014. He also placed 5th in ''Melee'' doubles with {{Sm|s0ft}}.

ZeRo was also the winner of the promotional {{forwiiu}} tournament held by [[Nintendo]] at [[E3 2014]], playing as {{SSB4|Zero Suit Samus}} against Hungrybox as {{SSB4|Kirby}} in grand finals.

ZeRo attended [[CEO 2014]] one week later. At this tournament, he won ''Project M'' singles, defeating aMSa 2-0, {{Sm|ChuDat}} 2-0, and {{Sm|Wizzrobe}} 3-1 in winners' finals. He lost to Wizzrobe 0-3 in the first set of grand finals, but still won the second set 3-1. ZeRo also placed 2nd in ''Project M'' doubles with Mew2King, 17th in ''Melee'' singles, and 4th in ''Melee'' doubles with ESAM. ZeRo then attended [[Kings of Cali 4]], where he placed 13th in ''Melee'' singles and 5th in ''Melee'' doubles with Westballz.

In ''Project M'' singles at [[Zenith 2014]], ZeRo managed to win the tournament through losers' bracket after losing to {{Sm|NinjaLink}} 0-2 in the second round of winners' bracket. He defeated {{Sm|Jtails}} 2-0, {{Sm|DJ Nintendo}} 2-0, Rolex 2-1, {{Sm|Seagull Joe}} 2-0, NinjaLink 2-1 in a rematch, Mew2King 3-1, and {{Sm|Emukiller}} 3-0 to make it to grand finals. In grand finals, he defeated {{Sm|Junebug}} 3-1 in both sets. ZeRo also placed 1st in ''Project M'' doubles with Mew2King, defeating Rolex and Emukiller 3-0 in winners' finals and Junebug and {{Sm|Pink Fresh}} 3-1 in grand finals, 7th in ''Melee'' singles, losing to {{Sm|Zhu}} 0-2 in losers' top 8, and 2nd in ''Melee'' doubles with {{Sm|Axe}}, losing to Mew2King and {{Sm|Hax}} in winners' finals, and then defeating Zhu and {{Sm|Cactuar}} in a close set in losers' finals before losing to Mew2King and Hax again in grand finals.

===2015-Early 2016: Breaking Records: 56-Streak and Undisputed ''Smash 4'' Dominance===

ZeRo was widely considered to be the best ''[[Smash 4]]'' player in the world, winning numerous amounts of early ''Smash 4'' national tournaments including [[Apex 2015]], [[CEO 2015]], and [[EVO 2015]], often without losing a set. This amazing prowess was recognized in CEO, where $500 would be rewarded to any Smasher who could take a set off of ZeRo; however, he again successfully won the tournament without dropping down to losers bracket, defeating ESAM 3-1 in winners semis and Nairo 3-1 in both winners finals and grand finals. At EVO 2015, ZeRo defeated Ally and {{Sm|Abadango}} 2-0 in winners quarters and semis, and Nairo and Mr. R 3-0 in winners finals and grand finals, taking the tournament without losing a single game while switching back exclusively to Diddy Kong for his set against Mr. R.

Although ZeRo hadn't entered a ''Melee'' tournament all through 2015, Armada drafted him for his crew in the [[FC Smash 15XR: Return]] crew battle. ZeRo faced {{Sm|Kalamazhu}} and was subsequently three stocked.

On August 1st, 2015, after a 43 tournament win streak, including winning EVO 2015 without dropping a game, ZeRo was signed on by [[Team SoloMid]], being a free agent after resigning from Clash Tournaments in 2014.

At [[The Big House 5]], ZeRo suffered a shocking loss in Round 2 Pools against Seagull Joe, leading many to believe that the undisputed #1 player would finally be defeated. However, ZeRo would end up easily going through the losers bracket, defeating {{Sm|MVD}} 2-0, {{Sm|StaticManny}} 2-0, Wizzrobe 2-0, Ally 3-0, ESAM 3-1, {{Sm|Zenyou}} 3-0, and {{Sm|Rayquaza07}} 3-1. Finally, he was put up against Anti in losers semifinals, but despite being down 2-1 against Anti's Mario, he brought it back in a very close set to win 3-2. After 3-0'ing {{Sm|Dabuz}} in losers finals, he would go on to face long time rival Nairo. ZeRo would 3-0 Nairo in the first set to cause a reset, after Nairo was playing secondaries in an attempt to avoid his ZSS being downloaded. In the second set of grand finals, with Nairo playing Zero Suit Samus, ZeRo was down 2-1 to Nairo, marking the second time in the tournament that he was just one game away from losing his streak. In the end, ZeRo brought it back once again, defeating Nairo 3-2, and completing one of the greatest losers bracket runs in Smash history.

ZeRo's huge winning streak was finally ended at [[MLG World Finals 2015]], where Nairo beat him 3-2 and then 3-1 in grand finals. Nevertheless, he continued to win several ''SSB4'' tournaments, including [[GENESIS 3]], in which ZeRo solidly cruised through his round 1 pool without dropping a game and advanced to grand finals after several highly anticipated matches without dropping a set.

ZeRo went on a hiatus due to personal medical issues, most importantly an injury in his middle finger, and could not attend many tournaments, most notably [[Pound 2016]], as a result.

===2016: Post-hiatus, Sudden Decline and Slow Resurgence===
After initially dropping out of registration, ZeRo competed at [[Get On My Level 2016]], the first tournament he has attended since [[2GGT: EE Saga]], as Zinoto was unable to attend and vacated his spot for ZeRo. Performing well up until winners quarters mostly using Diddy Kong over Sheik, Mew2King's Cloud defeated both of his characters in a 3-0 upset. However, ZeRo managed to advance to the loser's side of grand finals, defeating {{Sm|San}} 3-0 to get into top 8 and Mr. R 3-2 in losers eighths. In losers quarters, he fought {{Sm|MkLeo}} in a highly anticipated set which he won 3-2. He continued his losers run, defeating Nairo 3-0 in losers semis, and {{Sm|Larry Lurr}} 3-2 in losers finals. In grand finals, ZeRo lost to Ally 2-3, placing 2nd at the tournament with his sixth ever set loss, and only second ever tournament loss since his streak ended at MLG World Finals 2015.

The next few tournaments began a streak of losses for ZeRo, placing 2nd at three more tournaments after Get On My Level 2016, usually losing two sets in grand finals. He lost to {{Sm|Larry Lurr}} twice at [[2GGT: Mexico Saga]] (2-3 both sets), {{Sm|ANTi}} twice at Wednesday Night Fights 2016 2.5 (1-3 and 0-3) and {{Sm|Ally}} twice at [[Smash 'N' Splash 2]] (1-3 both sets). Many felt this was indicative of his dominance in the ''SSB4'' scene finally starting to slip.

He ended his short losing streak by defeating {{Sm|Nairo}} twice at [[Low Tier City 4]] 3-2 and 3-1 in winners finals and grand finals respectively.

However, ZeRo ended up on another losing streak throughout the summer. ZeRo placed 9th at [[CEO 2016]] after getting upset by {{Sm|Prince Ramen}}'s Palutena 0-2 in winners semis of his pool and Larry Lurr 0-3 in losers, marking the first time he was eliminated before top 8. At [[WTFox 2]], ZeRo placed 3rd, losing to {{Sm|Dabuz}} 2-3 in winners finals and {{Sm|Mr. R}} 1-3 in losers finals. At [[EVO 2016]], ZeRo was upset again, this time by {{Sm|Mr.E}}. However, this time he managed to make top 8. He proceeded to defeat Larry Lurr, Abadango and VoiD all 2-0 but lost to {{Sm|Kameme}} 0-3 in losers finals, placing 3rd. However, ZeRo again placed outside of top 8 at [[Super Smash Con 2016]], placing 13th after getting upset by {{Sm|Day}} 1-2 in winners and {{Sm|Ally}} 1-3 in losers.

[[Endgame]] would mark the beginning of ZeRo's return to dominance as he took the tournament. Though he lost to Mew2King 2-3 in winners finals, he beat Ally 3-1 in losers finals, marking his first win over him in 2016. He proceeded to defeat Mew2King 3-1 in both sets of grand finals, with a JV-3 stock in the final match. He attended [[Shine 2016]] the following weekend and took the tournament without dropping a set, defeating {{Sm|ESAM}} 3-1 and 3-0 in winners finals and grand finals respectively.

After winning The Big House 6 , only losing to ANTi in winners finals 1-3 but 6-0'd him in grand finals, ZeRo would not attend another tournament until [[KTAR XIX]] which he solidly took. Winners finals pitted him against MkLeo in a rematch from Get On My Level 2016. ZeRo won the set 3-2 then beat Salem 3-1 in grand finals. He then won [[UGC Smash Open]] without dropping a single set, defeating Abadango 3-0 and 3-2 in winners finals and grand finals respectively. ZeRo was then invited to attend [[Smash City LA]] which he again won without dropping a set, defeating Larry Lurr 3-1 and 3-2 in winners finals and grand finals respectively.

However, his short winning streak ended at, ironically, his namesake tournament: [[2GGT: ZeRo Saga]], in which he lost to {{Sm|Ally}} 2-3 in winners quarters and {{Sm|MkLeo}} 0-3 in losers semis, placing 4th and perpetuating the [[2GGT]] "saga curse".

===2017: Securing Dominance During His Final Year===
ZeRo's first tournament he attended in 2017 was [[2GGC: GENESIS Saga]]. ZeRo solidly took his pools without dropping a single set, defeating {{Sm|KiraFlax}} and {{Sm|Saiki}} on the way. He made to top 8 after defeating {{Sm|Elegant}} and {{Sm|Mr.E}}, both 3-1 and defeated {{Sm|Zenyou}} in Winner Semis 3-2 in a close set. He then 3-0d {{Sm|VoiD}} in winners finals and took the tournament 3-1 over {{Sm|Komorikiri}} in grand finals, also qualifying him for the final 2GG Championships in December.

At [[GENESIS 4]], ZeRo suffered a huge upset in round 2 pools, losing to {{Sm|Brood}}'s Duck Hunt 1-2. However, ZeRo still managed to make top 32 losers after defeating {{Sm|Manny}} 2-0. ZeRo went through the losers bracket defeating {{Sm|Salem}} and {{Sm|Nairo}} both 3-2, {{Sm|ESAM}} 3-1 and VoiD 3-2 advancing to Top 8. He proceeded to defeat {{Sm|Dabuz}} (although it was later discovered that [[Tournament:GENESIS 4#Controversy|their set had accidentally been played with a launch rate of 0.9]]) and {{Sm|Mr. R}} 3-1 each and {{Sm|Captain Zack}} 3-0, but narrowly lost to {{Sm|Ally}} 2-3 in a very close set using Cloud in losers finals, placing 3rd.

ZeRo was invited to [[PAX Arena at PAX East 2017]], and he took the tournament in a dominant fashion, defeating {{Sm|Larry Lurr}} 3-1 in winners finals and Dabuz 3-1 in grand finals.

After a close 2nd place finish at [[Frame Perfect Series 2]], ZeRo went on to attend [[2GGC: Civil War]], a tournament highlighting his rivalry with Ally. However, perpetuating the "curse", he was upset twice, first by {{Sm|Xzax}} 1-2 in his pool, and then by {{Sm|Luhtie}} 2-3 in losers, and placed 49th, his lowest placement in his entire ''Smash'' career.

Despite the unprecedented loss, ZeRo would go on a short tournament winning streak, winning [[KTAR XX]] (defeating Tweek 3-1 in the second set of grand finals after initially losing the first set 2-3), [[Midwest Mayhem 8]] (defeating {{Sm|Zinoto}} 3-1 and 3-0 after initially losing to {{Sm|Ned}} 2-3 in winners quarters), [[CEO Dreamland]] (defeating {{Sm|Mr. R}} 3-2), [[DreamHack Austin 2017]] (defeating MkLeo 6-0 after initially losing to Ally 1-3 in winner semis) and [[Royal Flush (tournament)]] (defeating Mr. R 3-2 in the second set of grand finals after initially losing the first set 2-3). 

After placing 9th at [[2GGC: Greninja Saga]] and 3rd at [[Momocon 2017]], the latter in which he lost to Nairo in winners finals for the first time since MLG World Finals 2015, ZeRo attended [[Smash 'N' Splash 3]]. He made top 8 winner side without dropping a game, defeating {{Sm|Shel}} and MVD 3-0 each. He then defeated Tweek 3-0, but lost to Ally 0-3 in winners finals. He 3-0d Larry Lurr in loser finals then defeated Ally 3-1 and 3-2 in grand finals to take the tournament (using Diddy Kong instead of Lucina). Carrying this winning momentum, he won [[2GGC: Nairo Saga]] the following weekend, not dropping a game to make top 8. In top 8, he defeated Nairo 3-0 in winners semis, MkLeo 3-2 in winners finals and Salem 3-2 in grand finals to win the tournament. At [[CEO 2017]], ZeRo made top 8 winners after defeating {{Sm|Zinoto}} 3-0. He then defeated {{Sm|KEN}} 3-2 in winners semis, Larry Lurr 3-0 in winners finals and MkLeo 3-1 in grand finals to take the tournament.

Following a win at [[Midwest Mayhem 9]], ZeRo would have a temporary fallout, as he placed 2nd at [[2GGC: ARMS Saga]] (losing to {{Sm|Dabuz}} 1-3 in winners finals and 0-3 in grand finals despite resetting the bracket 3-2), 2nd at [[EVO 2017]] (losing to {{Sm|Salem}} 2-3 twice in grand finals), 9th at [[DreamHack Atlanta 2017]] (losing to {{Sm|Samsora}} 2-3 in an upset in winners, then {{Sm|Nairo}} 2-3 in losers), 2nd at [[Low Tier City 5]] (losing to {{Sm|Mistake}} 1-2 in an upset in winners quarters, then {{Sm|Tweek}} 1-3 in grand finals), and 2nd at [[Super Smash Con 2017]] (losing 2-3 twice to Nairo in grand finals). Despite these losses, ZeRo managed to win [[2GGC: SCR Saga]], defeating {{Sm|Larry Lurr}} 3-0 in winners finals and {{Sm|MkLeo}} 3-2 in grand finals. Continuing this success, he defended his title at [[Shine 2017]], defeating {{Sm|Nairo}} 3-1 in winners finals, and {{Sm|Tweek}} 3-1 in grand finals.

ZeRo was invited to [[PAX Arena at PAX West 2017]] and won the tournament in a dominant fashion, winning every set in his round robin pool (only dropping one game to Ally) to be seeded in winners semis of top 8, then defeating Salem 3-2 and Nairo 3-0 in both winners finals and grand finals.

At [[GameTyrant Expo 2017]], ZeRo was upset by {{Sm|Darkshad}} 1-2 in his pool, entering top 48 losers side. He went through the bracket, defeating {{Sm|Z}} and {{Sm|CaptainZack}} 3-0 each, then Tweek 3-1, {{Sm|Raito}} 3-0 and qualified to Top 8 losers after defeating Salem 3-1. ZeRo then defeated Darkshad 3-0 in a runback, {{Sm|ANTi}} 3-1 in losers quarters, {{Sm|Larry Lurr}} 3-0 in losers semis but lost to MkLeo (using Meta Knight) 1-3 in losers finals for the first time since [[2GGT: ZeRo Saga]], placing 3rd.

At [[The Big House 7]], ZeRo solidly took his pools and made top 32 winners after defeating {{Sm|Umeki}} 2-0. In top 32 he was upset by {{Sm|Cosmos}} 0-3 and sent to the losers side. ZeRo however went through the bracket defeating {{Sm|Javi|p=Smash 4}} and {{Sm|Zinoto}} both 3-0, then qualified for top 8 losers after narrowly defeating {{Sm|Nairo}} 3-2. He beat Larry Lurr and Salem 3-1 each, but lost to {{Sm|Marss}} 0-3 in losers semis, placing 4th.

At [[2GGC: MkLeo Saga]] ZeRo solidly took his pools without dropping a single game defeating {{Sm|Kameme}} 2-0 on the way. In Top 32 he was upset by {{Sm|WaDi}} 1-3 and sent to the losers bracket. He went through the losers bracket defeating {{Sm|HIKARU}} 3-1 but narrowly lost to {{Sm|Mr.R}} 2-3 in a close set placing 13th.

At the [[2GG Championship]], ZeRo solidly won in his group, defeating Elegant 3-1, Larry Lurr 3-2 and {{Sm|Fatality}} 3-0 to qualify for the championship bracket. In winners quarters, he defeated {{Sm|Dabuz}} 3-0 but fell to {{Sm|MkLeo}} 0-3 in winners semis. ZeRo however managed to make it out of the losers side, defeating {{Sm|KEN}} and Dabuz both 3-0 and Salem 3-1 in losers finals. In Grand Finals ZeRo did a bracket reset to MkLeo 3-2 in an extremely close set but lost in the second set 1-3 placing 2nd.

ZeRo was invited to attend [[Smash 4 Boot Camp]] where after winning to {{Sm|MVD}} and {{Sm|VoiD}} both 2-1, he lost to {{Sm|Larry Lurr}} 0-2 and qualifying to the Top 16 losers. ZeRo however went through the losers bracket defeating Elegant, Tweek both 3-0, {{Sm|Cosmos}} 3-2, {{Sm|Light}} 3-1 but lost to Salem 0-3 placing 4th.

===2018: First Retirement, Smash Invitational 2018, and Return===
On January 12, 2018, ZeRo announced via a tweet<ref>https://twitter.com/TSMZeRo/status/951914839709974529</ref> that he would no longer be competing in ''Smash 4'' tournaments, in order to focus on other life goals. In said tweet, ZeRo said he would return to competitive Smash when a new trend surfaces on the Smash scene. Since his retirement, ZeRo has commentated for the Top 8's of [[Midwest Mayhem 11]] and [[Smash 'N' Splash 4]]. On April 14, he released an update video <ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_zzVpIJo4k</ref> addressing his satisfaction with his retirement, and said his days as a full-time competitor were very unlikely to be revived, even with the new ''Smash'' game being announced the month prior. He did, however, express interest in creating content with the new title, including tutorials and stream highlights.

On May 9, 2018, ZeRo was revealed to be one of the players invited to Nintendo's invitational for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' at E3 2018, expressing in a tweet<ref>https://twitter.com/TSMZeRo/status/994201909379633152</ref> that he would be coming out of retirement solely for the tournament. At the {{Trn|Super Smash Bros. Invitational 2018}}, ZeRo first teamed with {{Sm|Armada}} and defeated {{Sm|Abadango}} & {{Sm|Plup}} with {{SSBU|Mario}} to advance to winner semis. ZeRo then beat Armada's {{SSBU|Pokemon Trainer}} with {{SSBU|Ike}} to advance to winners finals, where he faced {{Sm|MkLeo}}. ZeRo clutched out the match with {{SSBU|Sheik}} over MkLeo's Solid {{SSBU|Snake}} to move on to grand finals, which was best of 3. ZeRo would face MkLeo again but this time he lost 0-2 in the first set to MkLeo's {{SSBU|Bayonetta}} and {{SSBU|Sonic}}. However, ZeRo managed to win 2-1 in the second set with Mario over MkLeo's Sonic to take his second invitational win, defending his title from E3 2014.

On November 7, 2018, ZeRo announced that he was signed by [[Tempo Storm]] and would be coming out of retirement to compete in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.<ref>https://twitter.com/zerowondering/status/1060231579207909379</ref>

On December 25, 2018, ZeRo announced an update<ref>https://twitter.com/zerowondering/status/1077669590589689858</ref> to his competitive return, saying he will no longer be "chasing the rankings", preferring to create content for ''Ultimate'' and stream the game on Twitch instead of competing at tournaments to be ranked 1st, only choosing to compete at a few select major events like EVO.

===2019-2020: Return to Competition and Second Retirement===
ZeRo's first event back to competition was confirmed to be {{Trn|Smash Conference United}} on January 5th. At the tournament, ZeRo solidly made top 48 winners side, defeating everyone in his pool 2-0. After defeating Rideae 3-0, he lost to {{Sm|MuteAce}} 2-3 and {{Sm|Samsora}} 0-3, placing 9th.
ZeRo also competed at the {{Trn|Smash Ultimate Summit}}, placing 13th in Singles and 5th in random 1v1's.

After Smash Ultimate Summit, ZeRo would not participate in another offline tournament, instead streaming on Facebook Gaming and creating content for his [[YouTube]] channel. However, ZeRo has made appearances at a few tournaments, most notably {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2019}}, where he won the Smash Masters side tournament over Larry Lurr. He has stated multiple times that he has no intention of returning to competitive play anytime soon, citing mostly the immense amount of hate he got during his reign in the previous installment as well as being intimidated by the high expectations that were expected of him due to him being the undisputed best player in ''Smash 4''. However, he has commentated at a few events, most notably at {{Trn|CEO 2019}}.

During the [[2019-20 COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on competitive play|coronavirus pandemic]], ZeRo began entering online tournaments after a year-long hiatus from competition, although he was more focused on enjoying the game rather than the actual competition <ref>https://twitter.com/zerowondering/status/1254927085614833667</ref>. In his first appearance in {{Trn|The Quarantine Series: Minor Tournament 1}}, ZeRo didn't drop a single game until top 96, where he lost to {{Sm|Tweek}} and {{Sm|yumeko}}, both 3-1, knocking him out of the tournament at 33rd place. He has since participated in 4 other online tournaments, placing 129th at {{Trn|Pound Online}}, 65th at both {{Trn|The Quarantine Series: Major Tournament 1}} and {{Trn|King of WiFi Random Characters}}, and 257th at {{Trn|The Box}}. ZeRo stopped competing after King of WiFi Random Characters, stating that he didn't want to return to a competitive lifestyle and reiterating that he has no plans on competing at offline tournaments<ref>https://twitter.com/zerowondering/status/1265436404642963456</ref>.

==Playstyle==
Across all ''Smash'' games, ZeRo is a very methodical and theoretical player, focusing on having solid fundamentals and a commanding [[neutral game]] that can allow him to completely control the match after one mistake from his opponents. Due to this, he is considered to have the strongest neutral game in the world in ''Smash 4'', and is one of the most adaptive players in all games. He is known to memorize percents, setups, and any other info that can improve his gameplay.

===''In Smash 4''===
His playstyle varies depending on whom he is facing. At times, ZeRo plays very proactively, inducing pressure on his opponents with precise hits, simple but effective punishes, and strong stage control. At other times, ZeRo plays more reactively and will not approach at all, preferring to camp most of the time and bait out mistakes from his opponent.

===''In Melee''===
ZeRo plays very defensively overall, preferring to camp opponents with Fox's [[Blaster]] and only approach when provoked to in the beginning of the set. This is to gain information on the opponent so that he can adjust his playstyle according to the habits that he picks up from his opponents during the course of the match. 

In addition, his ledge pressure is very overwhelming, often being able to inflict large amounts of percent while the opponent is trying to recover or even kill early. His spacing in these interactions also makes it very difficult for his opponents to attempt a reverse edge guard.  

However, ZeRo's tendency to resort to defensive play can hurt him sometimes, as he will play too safely and will not go for kill confirms on the verge of overextending. Although he is one of the most adaptive players across the span of a set, he can still struggle to bring back a set where his opponent has overwhelmed him, which is more prevalent in ''Melee'' where the micro-adaptations that are necessary within a game are far more emphasized.

==Trivia==
*ZeRo says "So a lot of people have been wondering..." at the beginning of many of his [[YouTube]] videos, with said phrase having become a meme in the ''[[Smash 4]]'' community.
*At {{Trn|EVO 2015}}, ZeRo did not lose a single game, making him the first competitor to do so for any game at EVO.
*The only players that ZeRo holds a negative record against in ''Brawl'' are {{Sm|ADHD}} (3-5), {{Sm|Dabuz}} (0-1), and {{Sm|Mikeneko}} (0-1).
*The only players that ZeRo holds a negative record against in ''Smash 4'' are {{Sm|Prince Ramen}}, {{Sm|Brood}}, {{Sm|Luhtie}} (all 0-1), and {{Sm|Kirihara}} (1-2).<!--Please do not include any sets from the ZeRo's Runback event at 2GGT: ZeRo Saga here; only tournament sets should be included.-->
**The only players that ZeRo holds a tied record against in ''Smash 4'' are {{Sm|Seagull Joe}}, {{Sm|Kameme}}, {{Sm|Day}}, {{Sm|falln}}, {{Sm|Shuton}}, {{Sm|Darkshad}}, {{Sm|Trela}}, and {{Sm|WaDi}} (all 1-1).<!--Please do not include Charliedaking's or Kameme's sets against ZeRo from MSM 104 here.-->
*When both ''Melee'' and ''Smash 4'' were announced to be at EVO 2015, ZeRo announced that he would shift his focus on ''Melee'' exclusively for at least one year if he won ''Smash 4'' at that tournament, citing {{Sm|Leffen}} as his inspiration. He eventually [https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CKeVeo2UMAAf49d.png:large decided against it] despite taking EVO 2015 without even dropping a game, stating "when I feel like playing [''Melee''], I'll play it. That's all there is to it." ZeRo has not attended a single ''Melee'' tournament since then. However, he competed in a ''Melee'' event for the first time in years at [[Super Smash Con 2017]]'s Smash Masters event.
*ZeRo learned English by playing ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'' when he was four years old by using a dictionary with the help of his mother.
*His mother gave him his signature white scarf when he left Chile.
*ZeRo is an avid fan of ''Xenoblade Chronicles'', having a pocket {{SSB4|Shulk}} and desiring a high-quality replica of the Monado for himself. Various songs from the game occasionally serve as the background music in his videos, and he has featured gameplay of its sequel, ''Xenoblade Chronicles X'', on his YouTube channel as well.
**On April 1st 2016, ZeRo made an April Fools' Day video called {{YouTube|XzjAduas5Lc|My New Tournament Main}} where he "announced" that he would be maining Shulk and using him in tournaments.
*ZeRo never placed below 2nd at any ''Smash 4'' singles tournament he entered for nearly two years. However, this ended with his 9th place finish at {{Trn|CEO 2016}}.
**{{Trn|2GGC: Civil War}} is currently his worst ''Smash 4'' tournament and his worst tournament overall across all games, placing 49th after both {{Sm|Xzax}} and {{Sm|Luhtie}} defeated him in dramatic upsets.
**Similarly, {{Trn|2GGC: Greninja Saga}} stands as ZeRo's worst ''Smash 4'' doubles tournament and his worst doubles tournament overall across all games, winning a single set and placing 17th with {{Sm|Nairo}}.
*In 2016, ZeRo was entered into the Guinness World Records for Video Games 2017 because of his winning streak of 53 consecutive victories between 2014 and 2015<ref>http://www.espn.com/esports/story/_/id/17506693/zero-featured-guiness-book-world-records-gamers-edition</ref>. He, however, claimed that he had 56 consecutive wins.
*Similarly to {{Sm|Mango}}'s "Scorpion Master" alter ego, ZeRo developed one named ''PersistentBlade'', a "Wi-fi warrior" {{SSB4|Lucina}} main who was at the highest rank on [[Smash Ladder]]. After attending and winning {{Trn|Ignition}} #76 using almost exclusively Lucina, it was revealed that he was, indeed, PersistentBlade<ref>https://twitter.com/NessaNessa0/status/847468534380843010</ref>. Following this revelation, PersistentBlade has officially become an alter ego for ZeRo in the ''Smash'' community, in which fans and even ZeRo jokingly insist that they are separate people.
**This joke has spread even to the point of PersistentBlade having [https://twitter.com/PersistentBlade their own Twitter account.]
*ZeRo is the only ''Smash 4'' player to have made more than $100,000. The only other players who made more than that amount are {{Sm|Armada}}, {{Sm|Mew2King}}, {{Sm|Hungrybox}}, {{Sm|Leffen}}, and {{Sm|Mango}} in ''Melee'' and {{Sm|MkLeo}} in ''Ultimate''.
*ZeRo hired a bodyguard for whenever he goes to a tournament. This is because he has received personal attacks and at least ten death threats which are mainly associated with his near-perfect ''Smash 4'' tournament record.<ref>https://compete.kotaku.com/worlds-best-smash-4-player-is-worn-down-by-haters-and-h-1819677035</ref>
*ZeRo is the first top professional ''Smash Bros.'' YouTuber to gain a million subscribers on YouTube.
**He also is the 2nd overall ''Smash''-centered YouTuber to reach 1 million subscribers, the first being {{Sm|Alpharad}}.
* ZeRo has become infamous in the community for discovering ''Smash Bros.'' prodigies and playing with them in several of his recent videos, which has become a running joke in the community where he would be called a 'father figure' to them.
** He played with a 13-year-old {{SSBU|Pokémon Trainer}} player named {{Sm|DDee}}, who has secondaries such as {{SSBU|Pac-Man}} and {{SSBU|Banjo & Kazooie}}; a 12-year-old Pichu player named {{Sm|rat|p=Ultimate}}; and two 15 year olds named {{Sm|GamingHI9x9}} and {{Sm|Sparg0}}, who play {{SSBU|Luigi}} and {{SSBU|Cloud}}, respectively.
