'''Zantetsu''' is a Smasher who plays the original Super Smash Bros. While Melee is still one of his favorite games, he believes nothing can top the original smash.


'''Roman''', formerly known as '''BHLMRO''' and '''Zantetsu''', is an ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', and former ''[[Melee]]'', player who resides in Springfield, Missouri. He is currently ranked 1st on the [[Missouri Power Rankings]] for ''Smash 64'' and 50th on the [[2019-2020 Smash 64 Power Rankings]].


== History ==
Roman began his competitive ''Smash'' career in June 2006 when he was only 12 years old. After seeing competitive matches on [[YouTube]], and learning of [[Kaillera]], he began playing ''Smash 64'' online and ''Melee'' with a friend. He stopped playing both games around 2009, after frustration of there being no nearby scenes to play with.
'''June 2006''': Zantetsu began playing Super Smash Bros. Melee casually after finding it in a collection of games at a neighbors house. Seeing many memories, he decided to start playing the game again. On July 14th, Zantetsu began to figure out more about emulation and learned how to use Project64k and Kaillera to play the original Super Smash Bros. online. Zantetsu realized he was bad at the game when he played his first random opponent, Quickman!. After suffering a terrible defeat to the great Ness player, Zantetsu decided to learn more about the game and began to practice.


'''July 2006''': Zantetsu found Wak's "Advance how to play" melee video. He started to practice everything in the video and began to try and implement it into both his Melee and SSB64 gameplay.
In January of 2011, {{Sm|Zivilyn Bane}}, a ''Melee'' player from California, moved into Roman's area and contacted him through [[SmashBoards]]. Interested in forming a scene, they met up and Roman began playing ''Melee'' again. Shortly after meeting, they discovered a ''[[Brawl]]'' monthly tournament series in the area through [[All is Brawl]]. Both players attended and started to play ''Melee'' alongside the ''Brawl'' tournaments, slowly converting ''Brawl'' players over to ''Melee''. This was the start of the Springfield ''Melee'' scene that has grown larger ever since.


'''September 2006''': Zantetsu found a site called Smashboards which he was linked to by Nephiros. Zantetsu began to look around the Super Smash Bros 64 forums and learned about a lot of things. Around this time, he had mastered L canceling and started to combo.
In March of 2015, Roman had discovered {{Sm|WEEGRO}}, a Missouri ''SSB64'' player, at a local Springfield ''SSB64'' bar tournament. Upon discovering that a ''SSB64'' scene existed in the state and the game was finally flourishing from all over the world, Roman had decided to retire from ''Melee'' in August of 2015, and became an exclusive ''SSB64'' player.


'''June 2007''': Zantetsu began to be at a competitive level and started to be known by the community. He had also co founded the clan "Prophetic Tactics" with another competitive smasher known as "Peek".
