He is widely considered to be the best ''[[Smash 4]]'' player of all time, being a dominant player up until his retirement from the game in January 2018.  With a combination of Diddy Kong and Sheik, he had a record of 56 consecutive tournament wins from the game's release on [[Wii U]] in November 2014 until [[MLG World Finals 2015]] in October 2015, including [[national tournament|nationals]] such as [[Apex 2015]], [[CEO 2015]], [[EVO 2015]], [[Super Smash Con 2015]], and [[The Big House 5]]. This is the longest such streak of any player in any Super Smash Bros. game.  He was also considered the best {{SSB4|Diddy Kong}} player in the world, the best {{SSB4|Lucina}} player in the world when he actively used her, and was considered the best {{SSB4|Sheik}} player in the world until summer 2016, when he relegated the character to a secondary in light of her nerfs. He also had strong {{SSB4|Cloud}} and {{SSB4|Captain Falcon}} secondaries, with his Captain Falcon often considered to be among the best in the world. ZeRo is ranked 1st on the [[PGR 100|Panda Global Rankings 100]], and was formerly ranked at the 0 position on both the [[Chicago Smash 4 Power Rankings]] and [[SoCal Smash 4 Power Rankings]] and 1st on the [[New Jersey Smash 4 Power Rankings]].
