ZeRo is a smasher from Chillán, Chile who is currently in Los Angeles, California. He is currently considered the best Smash 4 player in the world, having had a record of 55 consecutive tournament wins from the game's release in November 2014 until MLG World Finals 2015 in October 2015, including nationals such as Apex 2015, CEO 2015, EVO 2015, Super Smash Con, and The Big House 5. He has had "ZeRo" as his gamertag since 2005, and has been playing Smash since Smash 64 in 1999. He started to travel and play in tournaments in Chile in early 2007 during Melee. ZeRo quit Smash completely until December of 2010 and then focused only on Brawl but in early 2014, he picked up Melee again, as well as the Brawl mod Project M. He is currently the top ranked online and offline Brawl player in Chile, maining Meta Knight. He originally became famous in the United States by being one of the top players on All is Brawl. ZeRo was also often considered to be the best Project M player in the world during version 3.02, one of the best Brawl players in the world, and a top Fox player in Melee. Due to his top professional success with multiple Smash games, ZeRo is widely considered to be one of the best overall Smash players in the world, along with Mew2King, ESAM, Wizzrobe, Larry Lurr, and ChuDat. He was formerly ranked at the 0 position on the SoCal Smash 4 Power Rankings. ZeRo is also well-known for his YouTube channel, where he uploads content every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and has over 170,000 subscribers, one of the most out of any Smash-focused YouTube channel.

History

ZeRo's first international tournament was Apex 2012, where he placed 17th in singles and 9th in doubles, teaming with Kadaj.

Shortly before Apex 2013, ZeRo arrived in the United States to attend XSmash, and shocked the world by winning the tournament, defeating top professionals such as Vinnie, Nairo, and Mew2King during his march to victory. At Apex 2013, he placed 9th in singles and 13th in doubles, teaming with quiKsilver. He was also selected as the third World player in the United States vs. The World crew battle, taking the final two stocks off of Mew2King before losing to ESAM. ZeRo's last tournament on the East Coast during his stay was Rescue 2, which he won after defeating Nairo in two consecutive sets during grand finals. A week later, he traveled to the Midwest to attend Outrage, which he won after defeating players such as Ally and Zinoto. Before leaving the United States to return to Chile, ZeRo was honorably ranked 2nd on the Tristate Brawl Power Rankings, behind Mew2King.

Later that year, ZeRo traveled to the United States in preparation for SKTAR 2, continuing to practice at smaller tournaments with the eventual goal of winning the international event. He convincingly won his first tournament, Crossfire: Shockwave, during his stay, defeating top professionals such as Vinnie and Anti. He also won doubles with Anti at said event. ZeRo continued his winning streak at Rescue 3, a tournament that provided a glimpse of the fierce competition that would be seen at SKTAR 2, defeating Mr. R, Vinnie, and Nairo to take the event.

At SKTAR 2, ZeRo placed 4th in doubles, teaming with Ally, losing to Nakat and False in winners' semis and Nairo and ADHD in losers' semis. In singles, ZeRo got 1st seed in his bracket pool after defeating Atomsk in winners' finals, advancing to the singles bracket. In winners' quarters, he lost to ADHD 1-2 in a close set, getting timed out and losing the percentage lead at the very last second of game 3. ZeRo then took out SKTAR champion Nairo 2-1 and ESAM 2-0 in losers' bracket before being eliminated by Nakat 1-2 in losers' quarters, placing 5th out of 141 entrants.

ZeRo attended Apex 2014 five months later. He defeated Ally in winners' quarters before losing to ESAM 0-2 in winners' semis, and then proceeded to eliminate ADHD 2-1, Mew2King 2-0, and ESAM 3-0 in a rematch in losers' bracket, making it to grand finals against Nairo. ZeRo ultimately lost to Nairo 1-3 and placed 2nd in singles after some very close and exciting matches. He also placed 5th in doubles, teaming with Chibo, defeating several teams such as Nakat and False, and also almost defeating Nairo and ADHD.

ZeRo's next appearance was at the MLG sponsored Smash event Shuffle V in Columbus, Ohio. In Brawl singles, he placed 1st after defeating ADHD 2-0, Mew2King 2-1, and Vinnie 3-2 in winners finals. He lost to Vinnie 2-3 in the first set of grand finals, but still won the second set 3-1. He placed 7th in Brawl doubles with Chibo. ZeRo also placed 13th in Melee singles, 3rd in Melee doubles with Nintendude, 13th in Project M singles, and 1st in Project M doubles with Denti.

ZeRo's next tournament was DtJ's First Date, where he placed in top 5 in Melee and Project M, and won both Brawl singles and doubles.

ZeRo would then travel to several qualifiers for the Melee event at MLG Anaheim 2014. At Fighters' Edge, he placed 5th in Melee singles and 2nd in Project M singles. At WHOBO MLG one week later, ZeRo placed 1st in Brawl singles, Project M singles, and Project M doubles with Denti. He also placed 2nd in Brawl doubles with Denti, and 4th in Melee singles. Three weeks later, at Pat's House 2, ZeRo placed 17th in Melee singles and 7th in Melee doubles, teaming with Westballz.

ZeRo then attended SKTAR 3 the week after. In Brawl singles, he was knocked out of winners' bracket 1-2 by ADHD, and then eliminated Vex 2-0, Vinnie 2-1, and Ally 2-0, before being eliminated by Nairo 1-2, placing 4th. He placed 4th in Brawl doubles with Vex, 9th in Project M singles, and 1st in Project M doubles with Rolex, defeating Mew2King and Armada 3-2 in both winners' finals and grand finals. Lastly, ZeRo placed 9th in Melee singles, notably eliminating HugS and Darc in losers' bracket before losing to SFAT 0-2. This placement, coupled with ZeRo's placements at previous qualifiers, allowed him to qualify for the championship bracket at MLG Anaheim 2014. He also placed 5th in Melee doubles with s0ft.

At MLG Anaheim 2014, ZeRo's only win in his pool was against aMSa, who he defeated 3-2. He lost against Armada 1-3, Mango 0-3, Hungrybox 1-3, PewPewU 0-3, Fiction 1-3, and Westballz 0-3. This caused ZeRo to be seeded in losers' round 1 in the championship bracket, where he was eliminated by Plup 0-3, placing 17th overall.

ZeRo attended CEO 2014 one week later. At this tournament, he won Project M singles, defeating aMSa 2-0, ChuDat 2-0, and Wizzrobe 3-1 in winners' finals. He lost to Wizzrobe 0-3 in the first set of grand finals, but still won the second set 3-1. ZeRo also placed 2nd in Project M doubles with Mew2King, 17th in Melee singles, and 4th in Melee doubles with ESAM. ZeRo then attended Kings of Cali 4, where he placed 13th in Melee singles and 5th in Melee doubles with Westballz.

At EVO 2014, ZeRo defeated Fiction 2-0 in the winners' quarters bracket, and then defeated SFAT before losing to Hungrybox 0-2. However, in the losers' bracket, he was eliminated by Fiction in a rematch, placing 17th overall in Melee singles. ZeRo also placed 5th in the Melee doubles side event with KoreanDJ, and 1st in the Project M singles side event.

In Project M singles at Zenith 2014, ZeRo managed to win the tournament through losers' bracket after losing to NinjaLink 0-2 in the second round of winners' bracket. He defeated Jtails 2-0, DJ Nintendo 2-0, Rolex 2-1, Seagull Joe 2-0, NinjaLink 2-1 in a rematch, Mew2King 3-1, and Emukiller 3-0 to make it to grand finals. In grand finals, he defeated Junebug 3-1 in both sets. ZeRo also placed 1st in Project M doubles with Mew2King, defeating Rolex and Emukiller 3-0 in winners' finals and Junebug and Pink Fresh 3-1 in grand finals, 7th in Melee singles, losing to Zhu 0-2 in losers' top 8, and 2nd in Melee doubles with Axe, losing to Mew2King and Hax in winners' finals, and then defeating Zhu and Cactuar in a close set in losers' finals before losing to Mew2King and Hax again in grand finals.

ZeRo is widely considered to be the best Smash 4 player in the world by a large margin, winning numerous amounts of early Smash 4 national tournaments including Apex 2015, CEO 2015, and EVO 2015, often without losing a set. This amazing prowess was recognized in CEO, where $500 would be rewarded to any Smasher who could take a set off of ZeRo; however, he again successfully won the tournament without dropping down to losers bracket, defeating ESAM 3-1 in winners semis and Nairo 3-1 in both winners finals and grand finals. At EVO 2015, ZeRo defeated Ally and Abadango 2-0 in winners quarters and semis, and Nairo and Mr. R 3-0 in winners finals and grand finals, taking the tournament without losing a single game while switching back exclusively to Diddy Kong for his set against Mr. R.

ZeRo was also the winner of the promotional Super Smash Bros. for Wii U tournament held by Nintendo at E3 2014, playing as Zero Suit Samus against Hungrybox as Kirby in grand finals.

He resigned from CLASH Tournaments on November 2nd, 2014.

Although ZeRo hadn't entered a Melee tournament all through 2015, Armada drafted him for his crew in the FC Smash 15XR: Return crew battle. ZeRo faced Kalamazhu and was subsequently three stocked.

On July 28th, 2015, after a 41 tournament win streak, including winning EVO 2015 without dropping a game, ZeRo was signed on by Team SoloMid.

At The Big House 5, ZeRo suffered a shocking loss in Round 2 Pools against Seagull Joe, leading many to believe that the undisputed #1 player would finally be defeated. However, ZeRo would end up easily going through the losers bracket, defeating MVD 2-0, StaticManny 2-0, Wizzrobe 2-0, Ally 3-0, ESAM 3-1, Zenyou 3-0, and Rayquaza07 3-1. Finally, he was put up against Anti in losers semifinals, but despite being down 2-1 against Anti's Mario, he brought it back in a very close set to win 3-2. After 3-0'ing Dabuz in losers finals, he would go on to face long time rival Nairo. ZeRo would 3-0 Nairo in the first set to cause a reset, after Nairo was playing secondaries in an attempt to avoid his ZSS being downloaded. In the second set of grand finals, with Nairo playing Zero Suit Samus, ZeRo was down 2-1 to Nairo, marking the second time in the tournament that he was just one game away from losing his streak. In the end, ZeRo brought it back once again, defeating Nairo 3-2, and completing one of the greatest losers bracket runs in Smash history.

ZeRo's huge winning streak was finally ended at MLG World Finals 2015, where Nairo beat him 3-2 and then 3-1 in grand finals.

At GENESIS 3, ZeRo solidly cruised through his round 1 pool without dropping a game. In his round 2 pool, he defeated Akiro 2-0 and Umeki 2-0 to advance to top 32, where he would go on to defeat Earth 3-1 and Mr. R 3-0 to qualify for top 8 in winners. In winners semis, ZeRo managed to defeat Dabuz 3-2 in a close set, advancing to winners finals against Ranai. In a highly anticipated match, ZeRo was able to defeat Ranai 3-2, advancing to Grand Finals, where he would again take a close 3-2 set against Dabuz to win the tournament.

ZeRo was on a hiatus due to personal medical issues, most notably a injury in his middle finger, and could not attend many tournaments, most notably Pound 2016, as a result. However, his injury is healing, and he plans to attend CEO 2016 in the near future.

After initially dropping out of registration, ZeRo competed at Get On My Level 2016, the first tournament he has attended since 2GGT: EE Saga, as Zinoto was unable to attend and vacated his spot for ZeRo. Performing well up until winners quarters mostly using Diddy Kong over Sheik, Mew2King's Cloud defeated both of his characters in a 3-0 upset. However, ZeRo managed to advance to the loser's side of grand finals, defeating San 3-0 to get into top 8, Mr. R 3-2 in losers eighths, Leo 3-2 in losers quarters, Nairo 3-0 in losers semis, and Larry Lurr 3-2 in losers finals. ZeRo later lost to Ally 3-2 in the first set of Grand Finals and placed second at the tournament with his sixth ever set loss, and only second ever tournament loss since his streak ended at MLG World Finals 2015.

ZeRo's next tournament was 2GGT: Mexico Saga. Although Zinoto was unable to compete at Get On My Level due to giving his spot to ZeRo, Zinoto was flown out to Mexico Saga and both were able to compete. ZeRo easily made it out of pools, using mostly Diddy Kong, and in top 48 he had solid wins over Stroderp and falln to make it into top 8. In winners semis, he was finally able to fight against Zinoto, and after losing game 1, he swiftly defeated Zinoto 3-1. In winners finals, he faced off against Larry Lurr, and once again, the set went to game 5, with ZeRo edging out Larry 3-2. After defeating Zinoto in losers finals, Larry fought ZeRo again in grand finals, where ZeRo won the first two games before being reverse 3-0'd by Larry. In the second set of grand finals, both players traded games back and forth, with ZeRo using Sheik in game 2, expecting Larry to use Donkey Kong as a counterpick to his Diddy Kong. The set went to game 5 for the third time, with Larry finally defeating ZeRo to win the tournament. This was the second tournament that ZeRo had lost in a row, with ZeRo getting 2nd place at both Get On My Level 2016 and 2GGT: Mexico Saga.

At Wednesday Night Fights 2016 2.5, ZeRo defeated ANTi 3-2 in winners finals. After ANTi reached grand finals after beating K9sbruce in losers finals, he faced ZeRo again. This time, ANTi defeated ZeRo 3-1 and 3-0, taking the tournament. This was ZeRo's third tournament loss in a row after Get On My Level 2016 and 2GGT: Mexico Saga. At Smash 'N' Splash 2, ZeRo lost to Ally 1-3 in both sets of grand finals, becoming his fourth consecutive tournament loss and the second time he was eliminated by Ally.

Trivia

  • At EVO 2015, ZeRo did not lose a single game in tournament, making him the first competitor of any Smash and non-Smash game to do so.
  • ZeRo's prize check of $11,556 for winning EVO 2015 is the third-largest in any Smash tournament, after Hungrybox winning Battle of the Five Gods for $13,000 and Gnes winning MLG Dallas 2010 for $12,500.
  • The only players that ZeRo holds a negative record against in Brawl are ADHD (3-5), Dabuz (0-1), and Mikeneko (0-1).
    • The only player that ZeRo holds a negative record against in Smash 4 is Seagull Joe (0-1).
  • ZeRo stopped playing Melee around 2009, but returned to it in February of 2014 for the summer's big Melee events.
    • When it was announced that both Melee and Smash 4 would be at EVO 2015, ZeRo announced that he would shift his focus on Melee exclusively for at least one year if he won Smash 4 at that tournament, citing Leffen as his inspiration. He eventually decided against it despite taking EVO 2015 without even dropping a game, and said "when I feel like playing Melee, I'll play it. That's all there is to it".
  • ZeRo learned English by playing The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time when he was 4 years old by using a dictionary with the help of his mother.
  • ZeRo wears a signature white scarf that his mother gave him when he left Chile and Gunnar's Sheadog glasses.
  • Despite being ranked 35th in the world on the 2014 SSBMRank, he dropped Melee in favor of Smash 4 when the latter was released (November 2014).
  • On April 1st 2016, ZeRo made an April Fools' Day video called My New Tournament Main where he "announced" that he would be "maining" Shulk and using him in Tournaments.
