'''Zhu''' is a retired ''[[Melee]]'' player from Northern California who was considered to be one of the best Falco players in the world. He was initially known most for [[self-destruct]]ing at crucial moments, dubbed "zhuiciding," and being the recipient of the original [[Wombo Combo]]. Zhu has made a series of combo videos named "Happy Feet," which showcase his Falco. At {{Trn|GENESIS}}, he defeated renowned smasher {{Sm|Mew2King}} in losers' quarters for his placement. At {{Trn|EVO 2016}}, Zhu has a remarkable performance, defeating players such as {{Sm|Lucky}}, {{Sm|ChuDat}}, {{Sm|Laudandus}}, and {{Sm|Darkrain}} to get 9th place.

He is currently helping to run Smash Practice, a YouTube/streaming channel along with {{Sm|Cactuar}}.

Zhu was formerly ranked 1st on the [[Philadelphia Melee Power Rankings]], 5th on the [[NorCal Melee Power Rankings]], and 66th on [[SSBMRank 2017]].

On August 4th, 2018, Zhu announced that {{Trn|EVO 2018}} would be his last tournament as a competitor.<ref>https://twitter.com/boxrZhu/status/1025827543763415040</ref> In retirement, Zhu picked up Marth as his new main.

He currently helps to run [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtGeosEjh8wfMZifNfhospw SmashPractice] along with {{Sm|Cactuar}}.

==Trivia==
*Several tournament streams, and even the [[2014 SSBMRank]], jokingly list "Poor" as a sponsor of Zhu as a reference to the Wombo Combo.
*Zhu is also known to have held a 2-year winning streak over {{Sm|Hax}}, not losing to him in bracket even once until No Johns 7/2/11, and defeating him in every encounter afterward until [[Revival of Melee 7]].
*Zhu used the tag CG for some of his sets at EVO 2016, which is a reference to an [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKDlqdsw1i8 edited version] of the DK Rap by [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9ecwl3FTG66jIKA9JRDtmg SiIvaGunner].
