'''Zackray''' ({{ja|ザクレイ|zakurei}}) is a ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' player from Tokyo, Japan. He has mained a variety of characters through his career, including {{SSBU|Wolf}}, {{SSBU|Wario}}, {{SSBU|Joker}}, and {{SSBU|R.O.B.}}, and he currently mains {{SSBU|Pit}} and {{SSBU|Dark Pit}}. He is currently the best Pit and Dark Pit player in the world and was considered to be one of the best Joker players in the world along with {{Sm|MkLeo}} as well as the best Wolf and R.O.B. player in the early [[metagame]] when he mained the characters. With his success in his home country and at the international level including 1st place finishes at {{Trn|Umebura SP 7}}, {{Trn|EGS Cup 3}}, {{Trn|Eastern Powerhouse Invitational FINAL}}, and most notably {{Trn|The Big House 9}}, he was widely considered to be the best player in Japan from 2019-2020, and top 2 in Japan through 2021 alongside {{Sm|ProtoBanham}}. He is currently ranked 12th on the [[OrionRank 2022/Japan|OrionRank 2022 Japan]] and 22nd on the [[LumiRank Mid-Year 2023]]; he was also ranked 1st on the old [[Experimental Smash Player Rankings]].
'''Zackray''' ({{ja|ザクレイ|zakurei}}) is a ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' player from Tokyo, Japan, considered the best player in Japan at his peak from 2019 to 2020. Although he currently focuses on {{SSBU|Pit}} and {{SSBU|Dark Pit}}, he is known for his mastery over many characters and his ability to quickly pick up new characters, playing high-level tournaments with more than 20 different characters and winning majors with {{SSBU|Wolf}}, {{SSBU|Joker}}, {{SSBU|R.O.B.}}, and {{SSBU|Sora}}. He is the best Pit, Dark Pit, and Wolf player of all-time, as well as one of the best Joker and R.O.B. players of all time. In addition, he remains the only player to win majors with solo-Wolf and Sora.  


Zackray is known for his mastery of many characters and his ability to quickly pick up new characters, and has already played high-level tournaments with more than 20 different characters. This gives him many options when it comes to counterpicking characters; an example of this can be seen when he switched from {{SSBU|Sonic}} to Joker to pull off a reverse 3-0 against Maister at The Big House 9. He notably won The Big House 9 using seven different characters and won at least a game with five of them.
In {{forwiiu}}, Zackray was a {{SSB4|Corrin}} and {{SSB4|Bayonetta}} main who also used {{SSB4|Marth}} as a secondary. He was considered the biggest rising star towards the end of the game's lifespan, with his victories at {{Trn|Sumabato 27}} and {{Trn|Sumabato Smash 4 Final}} leading many to consider him one of the best players in Japan despite his short tenure in the game compared to other players. He was ranked 88th on the [[Panda Global Rankings 100]] and was the youngest player ranked globally in ''Smash 4''.
 
In {{forwiiu}}, Zackray was a {{SSB4|Corrin}} and {{SSB4|Bayonetta}} main who also used {{SSB4|Marth}} as a secondary. He was considered the best Corrin player in Japan and has taken sets off of top players such as {{Sm|KEN}}, {{Sm|Abadango}}, {{Sm|Kirihara}}, {{Sm|Tsu}}, {{Sm|Nietono}}, {{Sm|Raito}}, {{Sm|HIKARU}}, and {{Sm|Atelier}}. He is currently ranked 8th on the [[JAPAN Power Rankings]] and 88th on the [[Panda Global Rankings 100]].

*Zackray was the youngest smasher to be ranked on {{forwiiu}}'s [[Panda Global Rankings]], being two months younger than {{Sm|SDX}}.
* Zackray is often nicknamed to be "Mr. Kagaribi" in the English community due to him making top 8 at all Kagaribi's he's attended since {{Trn|Kagaribi 1}}, while only missing attendance from {{Trn|Kagaribi 7}} and {{Trn|Kagaribi 8}}, as well as having won 2 of them. This also notably includes {{Trn|Kowloon 12 with Kagaribi}}, which was a partnership between Kowloon and the [[Kagaribi (series)|Kagaribi series]].
*Zackray won {{Trn|Super Smash Bros. Ultimate World Championship 2019 3v3}} on Team Japan (along with {{Sm|Konbu}}, {{Sm|Kuro}}, and {{Sm|akasa}}) and got congratulations from Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser and director of the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'']] series, [[Masahiro Sakurai]].
