In addition, Zain was considered to be the best player in North America in 2020, due to both his win at {{Trn|GENESIS 7}} and his dominance in [[Project Slippi]] [[Online play|netplay]] events during the [[COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on competitive Smash|COVID-19 pandemic]].

Aside from Marth, Zain is also known for defeating notable players both offline and online with {{SSBM|Roy}} while under the alias '''DontTestMe'''.
 
In 2020, Zain was considered to be the best player in North America, due to both his win at {{Trn|GENESIS 7}} and his dominance in [[Project Slippi]] [[Online play|netplay]] majors during the [[COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on competitive Smash|COVID-19 pandemic]] (winning {{Trn|Ludwig Ahgren Championship Series 2}}, 3 of the 4 weeks of {{Trn|Slippi Champions League}}, and {{Trn|Smash Summit 10 Online}}), with Mango serving as his primary rival for the title.

Zain started playing competitively in May 2014 and quickly climbed the ranks, notably winning the [http://xanaduarcadian.challonge.com/tfameleetop16 S@X Fall Arcadian]. He gained recognition at the national level at {{Trn|The Big House 6}} when he defeated {{Sm|Plup}} 2-0 in pools. He went on to place 17th after beating {{Sm |KJH}} and {{Sm|Tafokints}}.

Over a year later, he took his first set over {{Sm|Mew2King}} at {{Trn|The Big House 9}}, placing 2nd after losing two Game 5 sets to Mango in Grand Finals.

A few months after The Big House 9, Zain won his first supermajor at {{Trn|GENESIS 7}} without dropping a set, defeating Hungrybox 3-1, Mango, and Hungrybox again 3-2. <!--As tournaments switched to online play due to COVID-19, Zain continued to dominate, winning {{Trn|Pound Online}}, {{Trn|Ludwig Ahgren Championship Series 2}}, 3 out of the 4 {{Trn|Slippi Champions League}} events, and finally {{Trn|Smash Summit 10 Online}} to cement himself as one the top 2 North American players of 2020 along with {{Sm|Mango}}.-->
A few months after The Big House 9, Zain won his first supermajor at {{Trn|GENESIS 7}} without dropping a set, defeating Hungrybox 3-1, Mango, and Hungrybox again 3-2. As tournaments switched to online play due to COVID-19, Zain continued to dominate, winning several large online events such as {{Trn|Ludwig Ahgren Championship Series 2}}, 3 out of the 4 {{Trn|Slippi Champions League}} events, and finally {{Trn|Smash Summit 10 Online}} to cement himself as the best online player in North America, with Mango serving as his primary rival for the title.
 
In 2023, following a series of victories by {{Sm|Cody Schwab}}, Zain, Cody Schwab, and {{Sm|Ludwig}} organized [[The Match|a first-to-10 match]] between him and Cody Schwab, the winner of which would be automatically given 1st on the [[SSBMRank]] 2023 rankings. Zain lost 7-10, ending Zain's dominant stretch and cementing Cody Schwab as best player in the world.


In 2023, following a series of victories by {{Sm|Cody Schwab}} rivalling that of Zain, He, Cody Schwab, and {{Sm|Ludwig}} organized [[The Match|a best-of-10 match]] between him and Cody Schwab, the winner of which would be automatically given 1st on the [[SSBMRank]] 2023 rankings. Zain lost 7-10, cementing Cody Schwab as best player in the world and ending Zain's dominant stretch as number 1.
===Other ''Smash'' games===
Zain briefly dabbled in ''[[Ultimate]]'' in response to {{Sm|Hungrybox}}'s 90-day ''Ultimate'' detox, with Zain choosing to play ''Ultimate'' for the same amount of time to "poison" himself. Zain's [[Twitch]] chat chose his main, and he ultimately went with {{SSBU|Roy}}. Although his ''Ultimate'' activity was primarily in the game's [[Online play#In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|online mode]], Zain did see some competitive play at two {{Trn|Coinbox}} events, however he failed to win a single set.

Zain (originally known as tekkenz) is a Melee Marth main from Reston, Virginia who is currently residing in Blacksburg, Virginia. He is considered one of the greatest Marth players of all-time, as well as one of the best Melee players during the post-netplay era, being ranked first in 2022 and the first half of 2024. In addition, Zain was considered to be the best player in North America in 2020, due to both his win at GENESIS 7 and his dominance in Project Slippi netplay events during the COVID-19 pandemic. He is known for his incredibly lethal punish game on space animal players and methodical play against floaty characters. He is currently ranked 1st on the SSBMRank Summer 2024. Aside from Marth, Zain is also known for defeating notable players both offline and online with Roy while under the alias DontTestMe.

On April 12th, 2018, Zain was signed by Panda,[1] but left on November 8th, 2019.[2] After being sponsored for the duration of GENESIS 7 by Mogul Moves, Ludwig's clothing brand, Zain was picked up by the Golden Guardians, the official esports affiliate of the Golden State Warriors NBA team on February 6th, 2020.[3] After three years, he would part ways with Golden Guardians on March 29th, 2023.[4] On April 6th, 2023, Zain was re-signed by Ludwig and joined Moist Moguls.

Tournament history[edit]

Zain started playing competitively in May 2014 and quickly climbed the ranks, notably winning the S@X Fall Arcadian. He gained recognition at the national level at The Big House 6 when he defeated Plup 2-0 in pools. He went on to place 17th after beating KJH and Tafokints. He notably took a set off of Leffen 3-2 at Smash 'N' Splash 3 placing 13th, and sets off of ChuDat and SFAT 2-1 and 3-0 respectively at Super Smash Con 2017, placing 5th at said event. At Smash Summit 6, he beat both Mango and Plup to take 3rd. Finally, at Shine 2018, Zain won his first major tournament, beating Mango and double eliminating Hungrybox, taking his first ever victories over the latter. Over a year later, he took his first set over Mew2King at The Big House 9, placing 2nd after losing two Game 5 sets to Mango in Grand Finals.

A few months after The Big House 9, Zain won his first supermajor at GENESIS 7 without dropping a set, defeating Hungrybox 3-1, Mango, and Hungrybox again 3-2. As tournaments switched to online play due to COVID-19, Zain continued to dominate, winning several large online events such as Ludwig Ahgren Championship Series 2, 3 out of the 4 Slippi Champions League events, and finally Smash Summit 10 Online to cement himself as the best online player in North America, with Mango serving as his primary rival for the title.

In 2023, following a series of victories by Cody Schwab, Zain, Cody Schwab, and Ludwig organized a first-to-10 match between him and Cody Schwab, the winner of which would be automatically given 1st on the SSBMRank 2023 rankings. Zain lost 7-10, ending Zain's dominant stretch and cementing Cody Schwab as best player in the world.

Other Smash games[edit]

Zain briefly dabbled in Ultimate in response to Hungrybox's 90-day Ultimate detox, with Zain choosing to play Ultimate for the same amount of time to "poison" himself. Zain's Twitch chat chose his main, and he ultimately went with Roy. Although his Ultimate activity was primarily in the game's online mode, Zain did see some competitive play at two Coinbox events, however he failed to win a single set.

Trivia[edit]

  • Although the correct pronunciation of his name—and essentially his tag—is "Zan" (like the beginning of "Xanax"), Zain has stated that he is fine with both pronunciations.[5]
  • Zain has defeated 5 of the members of the 2018 MPGR top 6 (all but Armada):
  • Since the COVID-19 pandemic, Zain sometimes competes in online tournaments by sandbagging under the tag "DontTestMe", where he goes solo Roy in bracket, a character considered by many to be one of the worst characters in Melee. Despite this, he has won multiple netplay events over other MPGR-ranked players.
  • Zain's first gamertag was tekkenz. His father combined Zain's favorite game at that time, Tekken, with the first letter of his first name.
  • Zain has a knack for a variety of comedic sketches and impressions, the latter of which include Marge from The Simpsons and numerous Melee players (such as Wife, UnknownForce, KoreanDJ, and ChuDat).
    • He has imitated Chu's penchant for eating raw onions on stream, substituting an onion for an entire lime (skin and all) instead.
  • After losing to Axe at Apex 2022, Zain had only lost to 5 players since then in serious sets: aMSa, Jmook, Cody Schwab, Leffen, and Mang0. This streak ended at Luminosity Makes Moves Miami 2024, where Aklo's Link defeated Zain 3-1 in Winner's Semi-finals.
