Gahtzu is a smasher originally from Bonn, Germany currently residing in Orlando, Florida, who mains Captain Falcon in Melee. At Smash the Record, he nearly set the Guinness World Record for "Longest Video Games Marathon Playing a Fighting Game" at 72 hours, which would've beaten the former record of 48 hours. Unfortunately, a video error occurred during his session delegitimized his entire attempt, despite how many witnesses were present. He is often accredited as being the best in the United States at Falcon dittos, having taken convincing wins over top Falcon mains, such as S2J, Scar, and Darkrain. He is currently ranked 5th on the Central Florida Melee Power Rankings and 45th on the 2015 SSBMRank.
