From SmashWiki, the Super Smash Bros. wiki
Zinoto is a Diddy Kong main from Michigan. He is widely viewed as the Diddy Kong player to bring the single naner lock into competitive play. Zinoto started on the All is Brawl wifi ladder in 2009, but didn't really enter the competitive Brawl scene until the Fall of 2011. Since joining the scene, he has taken sets off of many top players; including Dabuz, Earth, Rich Brown, Ally, Shugo, Nick Riddle, Tyrant, Nakat, Larry Lurr and others. He is currently ranked 1st and 2nd on the Michigan Brawl and Smash 4 Power Rankings, respectively. Along with ADHD and Gnes, he is widely considered to be one of the best Diddy Kong mains in the world. Zinoto is known for wearing his signature scarf to all the smash tournaments he attends; a burgundy, knitted scarf with his gamer tag and the University of Michigan logo embroidered in it.
Along with Brawl, Zinoto also plays Dr. Mario in Melee at a strong level.

Trivia
- Zinoto only picked up Zero Suit Samus so he didn't have to play Diddy Kong dittos, as it is his least favorite match up.
