Zantetsu is a SSB64, Melee, and Project M player who resides in Springfield, Missouri. He is currently ranked 2nd in the Melee Springfield power rankings and 11th on the Melee Missouri Power Rankings.
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 has only attended 1 national tournament, which was EVO 2013. He did not make it out of 1st round pools.
