Zenyou is a smasher from Southern California who is considered to be one of the best Smash 4 Mario players in the world, along with Ally and ANTi. He is considered by some professionals such as Larry Lurr[1] and ZeRo[2] to have the most potent punish and combo games out of many Mario players, surpassing those of other Mario mains: his punish game often consists of very extensive combos, which employ the use of perfect pivots, while also often leading into one of Mario's finishers for an early KO. As a result, he has wins over Ally, Fatality, Tearbear, Kamemushi, and Seagull Joe. Arguably his best performance was at The Big House 5 where he made Top 32 winners side before losing to Nairo (0-2). In losers, he defeated Shel (2-1), Fatality (3-2), Seagull Joe (3-1), but then lost to ZeRo (0-3), ending his run at 7th place.

Zenyou is currently ranked 6th on the SoCal Smash 4 Power Rankings.
