'''ZeRo''' is a smasher from Chillán, Chile who currently resides in Florida. | |||
'''ZeRo | In ''[[Ultimate]]'', ZeRo is a {{SSBU|Diddy Kong}}, {{SSBU|Mario}}, {{SSBU|Wolf}}, and {{SSBU|Cloud}} player. He is also a notable [[commentator]] as he has commentated at tournaments such as {{Trn|CEO 2019}}, {{Trn|Overlords of Orlando: Ultimate Edition}}, and the Quarantine Series. | ||
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}}, {{SSB4|Mario}} 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 also | ZeRo has also seen great success in other ''Smash'' games. He dominated the Chilean ''[[Brawl]]'' scene with his {{SSBB|Meta Knight}} and {{SSBB|Ice Climbers}} 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}}. He also plays [[Roy]] and [[Wario]] in Project +. | ||
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|ESAM}}, and {{Sm|Larry Lurr}}. | |||
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." | |||
On July 3rd, 2020, following accusations of sexual misconduct involving minors, ZeRo permanently banned himself from ''Smash Bros.'' events in any capacity, saying, "I don’t want to make anyone uncomfortable and I don’t deserve to be there ever again after all this."<ref>https://twitter.com/zerowondering/status/1279219168303181829</ref> He was subsequently dropped by his team, Tempo Storm, on July 4th, 2020.<ref>https://twitter.com/Tempo_Storm/status/1279532550717943809?s=20</ref> | |||

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. | |||

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.

ZeRo later responded, admitting that he looked at hentai but denied that he had shown it to her, nor would he show it to an entire room of people. He also denied showing her the ads<ref>{{citeweb|url=https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vQJpUoVhxCgh9_75K8WAYN56d5yvxINwy3c3fPFCMkoEnThJs4qSIk0GY0T8AJ0T_ySDGxhrixCs0ng/pub|title=ZeRo's response to Jisu}}</ref>. Following this defense, many people started to target Jisu for "clout-chasing," causing several players such as {{Sm|Leffen}} and {{Sm|iBDW}} to post TwitLongers in Jisu's defense<ref>{{citeweb|url=https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sra894|title=Leffen's first statement}}</ref><ref>{{citeweb|url=https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sra8tg|title=iBDW's statement}}</ref>. Leffen also told his experience with ZeRo and how he would show people hentai in public, a statement that was backed up by a screenshot from an anonymous user later sent to Leffen<ref>{{citeweb|url=https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sra9ee?new_post=true|title=https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sra9ee?new_post=true}}</ref>.

Around the same time, another user, Katie, came out with her own statement where she accused ZeRo for having sexually harassing her when she was 14 and ZeRo was 19<ref>{{citeweb|url=https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sra87v|title=Katie's statement}}</ref>. ZeRo would make a response to that accusation on July 3rd, stating that, at that time, he didn't know Katie was 14, and when she told him he cut off contact with her immediately. However, later evidence came forward to reveal that this statement by ZeRo was a lie. He then addressed the hentai accusations and his awkwardness in handling the situation, stating that it was due to a rough childhood filled with abuse and bullying, and mentioning that he was permanently banning himself from the ''Smash'' scene<ref>{{citeweb|url=https://docs.google.com/document/u/1/d/e/2PACX-1vSdd514HCH6Wtb1epx2rbeOK-ME0UXKsBDQK6hbI-faWhg_kQY-QJR9BgpNSEmeSqhN9JnIBuQW6gUk/pub|title=ZeRo's second statement}}</ref>. Many people, however, pointed out that ZeRo failed to address the most explicit accusation. Eventually, on July 4th, ZeRo made a final TwitLonger confirming Katie's accusations, including the explicit accusation, as well as an experience he had with another underage girl<ref>{{citeweb|url=https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sraama|title=ZeRo's final statement}}</ref>. | |||
The following day, Jisu posted a Google Document filled with evidence and screenshots from all of ZeRo's victims, including the girl brought up in ZeRo's final statement.
