Zantetsu is a SSB64 and Melee player who lives in Springfield, Missouri and plays actively in the Missouri smash scene with Columbia, Rolla, Kansas City, and St. Louis.
History
Zantetsu began his smash career, like most people, by playing casually with friends on the block and eventually stumbling upon competitive matches on YouTube, which began his competitive career in smash. Zantetsu began by playing SSB64 online via "Kaillera" since he lived in a community where no one else played competitive smash besides one of his friends. His SSB64 spree went from June 2006 until he started to slowly disappear around 2009. While he was mostly a SSB64 player from 2006 until 2009, he did play Melee with a friend and ended up becoming competitive in that as well and showed up to 2 tournaments, one which was a Brawl launch tournament in St. Louis and the other was Event 52 which featured players such as "Scar", "Mew2King", "Colbol", "Cactuar", and more..
From 2009 until 2011, Zantetsu had retired from SSB64 due to lag issues and from Melee due to not having a community. In January of 2011, Zantetsu discovered "Zivilyn Bane", a smasher who originated from California and Kansas City. "Zivilyn Bane" contacted Zantetsu on Smashboards informing him that he lives in Springfield and is interested in forming a crew. Zantetsu and "Zivilyn Bane" decided to meet at a casual smash tournament and played many friendlies. Since then, Zantetsu and "Zivilyn Bane" have converted 3-5 players into competitive Melee players and have been quite active in the Missouri smash scene since and have even hosted a Midwest Regional Tournament known as Midwest Improvement Smash Tournament (MIST) in their once non-existent smash community. They plan to attend the upcoming FC-LEGACY tournament in July of 2012.
