Zinoto is a Smasher from Michigan, known for being one of the best Diddy Kong players across 3 Smash titles, and being one of the best Smashers from Michigan due to his dominance regionally across each of those titles.
Zinoto began in Brawl, where he is widely considered to be one of the best Diddy Kong mains in the world (alongside ADHD and Gnes). Zinoto started on the All is Brawl Wi-Fi ladder in 2009, but didn't enter offline competitive Brawl tournaments until the fall of 2011. He has taken sets off of many top players, including Dabuz, Earth, Rich Brown, Ally, Shugo, Nick Riddle, Tyrant, and NAKAT. He is ranked 1st on the final Michigan Brawl Power Rankings as well as 19th on the 2014 SSBBRank.
In Smash 4, Zinoto was also a Diddy Kong main. He was considered to be one of the best Diddy Kong players in the world throughout the game's lifespan and the definitive best following ZeRo's retirement. Throughout his career, he has beaten many top players including Salem, Nairo, MkLeo, Dabuz, Larry Lurr, Elegant, Ally, and Abadango. He ranked 1st on most seasons of the Michigan Smash 4 Power Rankings, as well as 2nd on the Midwest Smash 4 Power Rankings, and 24th on the Panda Global Rankings 100.
In Ultimate, Zinoto continues to main Diddy Kong, although he originally co-mained Peach and Palutena in the early metagame. Although not as successful as previous games, he is still considered the best Diddy Kong player in the Midwest as well as the best Michigan player during the early metagame, being ranked 1st on the Michigan Ultimate Power Rankings until spring 2022, where he was dethroned by Onin. He is currently ranked 72nd on the UltRank 2022 and 93rd on the OrionRank 2022. He has wins over Onin, BassMage, Elegant, Cosmos, MVD, Kurama, Dark Wizzy, and Aaron.
Zinoto also plays Dr. Mario in Melee, and is twin brothers with ????.
