Alex '''Zanguzen''' Shnayder or '''Zang''' is an old school [[smasher]] from New Jersey who mains Falco. He was ranked 5th on the discontinued [[Tristate Power Rankings|Tristate Melee Power Rankings]] and is ranked 46th on the [[2014 SSBMRank]] thanks to his placings at various National Tournaments. He is well known as well for being the first person to win a set vs. Mew2King, all the way back in 2003. Zang also well noted for his very old style of Falco play, relying on heavy reads, [[pillar]]ing, and laser camping instead of fast technical play such as [[Westballz]]. Since his reemergence in 2014, he has taken sets off players such as [[KJH]], [[Cactuar]], [[G$]], [[Android]], and [[Hax]].

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 tournament at the time, Zanguzen placed higher than [[Ken]], tied with [[PC Chris]], and placed just one spot lower than [[KoreanDJ]], three players who had dominated the Golden Age when Zanguzen was first active.
