From SmashWiki, the Super Smash Bros. wiki
Zinoto is a Diddy Kong main in both Smash 4 and Brawl from Michigan. He is widely viewed as the Diddy Kong player to bring the single naner lock into competitive play. Zinoto started on the All is Brawl wifi ladder in 2009, but didn't enter offline competitive Brawl tournaments until the Fall of 2011. Since joining the scene, he has taken sets off of many top players, including Dabuz, Earth, Rich Brown, Ally, Shugo, Nick Riddle, Tyrant, Nakat, Larry Lurr and others. He is currently ranked 1st on both the Michigan Brawl and Smash 4 Power Rankings (right below Ally on the latter, who holds the 0 spot). Along with ADHD and Gnes, he is widely considered to be one of the best Brawl Diddy Kong mains in the world. Zinoto is known for wearing his signature scarf to all the smash tournaments he attends; a burgundy, knitted scarf with his gamer tag and the University of Michigan logo embroidered in it.
Along with Smash 4 and Brawl, Zinoto also plays Dr. Mario in Melee at a strong level.

Trivia
- Zinoto only picked up Zero Suit Samus so he didn't have to play Diddy Kong dittos, as it is his least favorite match up.
