Zhu is a Falco player from Northern California who currently resides in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, considered one of the best Falco players in the world. He was initially known most for self-destructing 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 GENESIS, he defeated renowned smasher Mew2King in losers' quarters for his placement. Zhu is currently ranked 1st on the Philadelphia Melee Power Rankings and 29th on the 2015 SSBMRank, and was formerly ranked 4th on the NorCal Melee Power Rankings. He currently helps to run Smash Practice or SP, a youtube/streaming channel along with Cactuar.

Trivia
- Several tournament streams, and even the 2014 SSBM Player Rankings, jokingly list his sponsor as "Poor" as a reference to the Wombo Combo.
- As a further reference, his current Youtube channel is named "Poor Zhu".
- Zhu is also known to have held a 2-year winning streak over 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.
