Wikipedia Zackray .
Zackray (ザクレイ Ultimate Joker and R.O.B. player from Tokyo, Japan. He is considered to be the best Joker player in the world after MkLeo dropped the character. He was also one of the best Wario , Mr. Game & Watch , and Mario players in the world prior to dropping the characters, and the best Wolf and R.O.B. player in the world when he mained these characters. With his success in his home country and at the international level including 1st place finishes at EGS Cup 2 , Umebura SP 7 , Sumabato SP 8 , Sumabato SP 9 , EGS Cup 3 , Sumabato SP 12 , Maesuma TOP 2 , Eastern Powerhouse Invitational FINAL and most notably The Big House 9 , he was widely considered to be the best player in Japan from 2019-2020. He is currently ranked 1st on the Experimental Smash Player Rankings , 2nd on OrionRank Ultimate: Eclipse Japan , 5th on OrionRank Ultimate: Eclipse , and 7th on the Fall 2019 PGRU ; he was also ranked 1st on the discontinued Japan Player Rankings .
Zackray is known for his mastery of many characters and his ability to quickly pick up new characters. He mained Wolf before switching to (mostly) co-maining R.O.B. and Joker, and has already played high-level tournaments with more than 20 different characters. This gives him many options when it comes to counterpicking characters; an example of this can be seen when he switched from Sonic to Joker to pull off a reverse 3-0 against Maister at The Big House 9 . He notably won The Big House 9 using seven different characters and won at least a game with five of them.
In SSB4 Corrin and Bayonetta main who also used Marth as a secondary. He was considered the best Corrin player in Japan and has taken sets off of top players such as KEN , Abadango , Kirihara , Tsu , Nietono , Raito , HIKARU , and Atelier . He is currently ranked 8th on the JAPAN Power Rankings and 88th on the Panda Global Rankings 100 .
On December 6th, 2018, Zackray announced his new sponsor GameWith . [1]
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 by going Sonic for the first 2 games of the set in The Big House 9, and by reverse 3-0ing him by going back to Joker.
