Alex '''Zanguzen''' Shnayder or '''Zang''' is an old school [[smasher]] from New Jersey who mains Falco. He is also well-known for being one of the first players to win a set against Mew2King back in 2005.  Since his reemergence in 2014, he has taken sets off players such as {{sm|KJH}}, {{sm|Cactuar}}, {{sm|G$}}, {{sm|Android}}, {{sm|Zhu}}, and {{sm|Hax}}. He was previously ranked 3rd on the [[New Jersey Melee Power Rankings]].

Zanguzen is one of the very few professionals that have successfully maintained the position of a major tournament threat from the early years of the [[Golden age]] to the 2014 age and onward. It is interesting to note that at [[Apex 2015]], one of if not the largest Melee tournaments of all time, Zanguzen placed higher than {{sm|Ken}}, tied with {{sm|PC Chris}}, and placed just one spot lower than {{sm|KoreanDJ}}, three players who had dominated the Golden Age when Zanguzen was first active.

==Playstyle==
Zang is well noted for his style of play, generally considered to be "old-school," relying on heavy reads, [[pillaring]], zoning with up-tilts, and patient laser camping instead of fast technical play seen in more current smashers such as {{sm|Westballz}}.
