Roman "Zantetsu" Tripp is a [[SSB64]], [[Melee]], and [[Project M]] player who resides in Springfield, Missouri. He is currently ranked 1st in [[SSB64]] 2nd in [[Melee]] for the Springfield power rankings.


== History ==
'''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]].
Zantetsu began his smash career, like most, by growing up playing both [[SSB64]] and [[Melee]] with friends. In 2006, he had learned of, and started to practice, the game at a competitive level. At this time, Roman was 12 years old and there was no smash scene within a 3 hour driving distance up to either Kansas City or St. Louis. Although it didn't limit him from trying to learn [[Melee]], he was left to play with only one other friend dedicated to learning the game on a competitive level as well. This not being enough, Roman discovered [[Kaillera]] and began to play [[SSB64]] online as well. His smash spree went from June 2006 until he started to slowly disappear around 2009, as he had started to lose interest in [[SSB64]] online and playing [[Melee]] with only one other person.


In January of 2011, [[Zivilyn Bane]], a smasher who originated from California and Kansas City, moved into Roman's area and contacted him through Smashboards. Interested in forming a crew, they met up and ended up stumbling upon a Brawl monthly tournament series in the area through [[All is Brawl]]. Both players attended, started to play [[Melee]] alongside the Brawl tournaments, and converted a few of the Brawl players to [[Melee]] players, forming a small crew in Springfield, MO of roughly 3-6 people. This remained somewhat stagnant for a while, gaining roughly a person or two to the crew every 6 months or so, and grinding 2-3 hour trips for other Missouri tournaments when they could.  
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.


Roman has only attended 1 national tournament, which was [[EVO]] 2013. He did not make it out of 1st round pools. Only top 2 advanced from each pool, and he unfortunately came out in 3rd place, losing only to {{sm|Hax}} and {{sm|Boback}}
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.


Springfield, MO, like many communities, ended up becoming much larger over the course of [[Melee]] being at [[EVO]] in 2013, the announcement and release of Smash 4, the raising popularity of [[Project_M]], and the release of the Smash documentary. Since than, Roman now manages a Springfield Smash group on Facebook consisting of over 100 members, with around 30 active players for a city of only 100,000 people. Since his return in 2011, Roman stayed exclusive to [[Melee]] up until the release of [[Project_M]] 3.5 in December 2014 and until March of 2015, when he decided to return to [[SSB64]] online and on console when available. He has began to take both SSB64 and Melee more seriously than ever before, and hoping to climb the rankings as far as he can go.
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.
