'''Zain''' ( | '''Zain''' (originally known as '''tekkenz''') is a ''[[Melee]]'' {{SSBM|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 2024. 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]]. 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 {{SSBM|Roy}} while under the alias '''DontTestMe'''. | ||

Zain | ==Tournament history== | ||
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}}. He notably took a set off of {{Sm|Leffen}} 3-2 at {{Trn|Smash 'N' Splash 3}} placing 13th, and sets off of {{Sm|ChuDat}} and {{Sm|SFAT}} 2-1 and 3-0 respectively at {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2017}}, placing 5th at said event. At {{Trn|Smash Summit 6}}, he beat both {{Sm|Mango}} and Plup to take 3rd. Finally, at {{Trn|Shine 2018}}, Zain won his first major tournament, beating Mango and double eliminating {{Sm|Hungrybox}}, taking his first ever victories over the latter. 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 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. | |||
===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. | |||
