Wikipedia Zackray .
Zackray (ザクレイ Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Kantō , Japan, considered one of the greatest Japanese Ultimate players of all time, as well as the country's best player in the early metagame. He was regarded as Ultimate 's first prodigy, winning his first major, Umebura SP 2 , at the age of 16. Since then, he has won many other majors and is the second player to win a major in each of Ultimate 's superregions , having also won The Big House 9 in North America and Ultimate WANTED 4 in Europe. Although he currently focuses on Pit , R.O.B. , and Dark Pit , he is known for his mastery over many characters and his ability to quickly pick up new characters, competing in high-level tournaments with more than 20 different characters and winning majors with Wolf , Joker , R.O.B., and Sora . He is the greatest Pit, Dark Pit, and Wolf player of all time, as well as one of the best Joker and R.O.B. players ever. In addition, he remains the only player to win majors with solo Wolf and Sora.
Prior to Ultimate , Zackray had a brief yet notable career in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Corrin and Bayonetta while maintaining Marth as a secondary. He was considered one of the biggest rising stars towards the end of the game's lifespan alongside SDX Sumabato 27 and Sumabato Smash 4 Final leading many to consider him one of the best players in Japan despite his short tenure in the game compared to other players. He was ranked 88th on the Panda Global Rankings 100 , and was the youngest player ranked on the list.
On December 6th, 2018, Zackray announced his new sponsor GameWith .[ 1] DetonatioN FocusMe on December 22nd, 2022, signing Zackray in the process.[ 2]
Playstyle [ edit ] Zackray is able to play unconventionally with normally considered passive characters, such as R.O.B. , aggressively searching through weaknesses in an opponent's mindset, yet able to maintain a calm and calculating stance throughout sets. In neutral situations, he patiently waits for the opponent to move and counterattack at the right opportunity. Zackray is also known for picking up many characters for his adaptation to certain matchups, as well as downloading data on his opponent's playstyles. He did this to Maister Sonic for the first two games of the set in The Big House 9, and by reverse 3-0ing him by going back to Joker.
