Zain (shortly known as tekkenz), also known as DontTestMe, is a Melee Marth main from Reston, Virginia who is currently residing in Blacksburg, Virginia, and is currently considered to be the best Marth player in the world, and was considered the best Melee player in the world in 2022. He is known for his incredibly lethal punish game on space animal players and methodical play against floaty characters. He is currently ranked 2nd on the SSBMRank 2023.

In 2020, Zain was considered to be the best player in North America, due to both his win at GENESIS 7 and his dominance in Project Slippi netplay majors during the COVID-19 pandemic (winning Ludwig Ahgren Championship Series 2, 3 of the 4 weeks of Slippi Champions League, and Smash Summit 10 Online), with Mango serving as his primary rival for the title.

On April 12th, 2018, Zain was signed by Panda,[1] but left on November 8th, 2019.[2] After being sponsored for the duration of GENESIS 7 by Mogul Moves, Ludwig's clothing brand, Zain was picked up by the Golden Guardians, the official esports affiliate of the Golden State Warriors NBA team on February 6th, 2020.[3] After three years, he would part ways with Golden Guardians on March 29th, 2023.[4] On April 6th, 2023, Zain was re-signed by Ludwig and joined Moist Moguls.

Tournament history

Zain started playing competitively in May 2014 and quickly climbed the ranks, notably winning the S@X Fall Arcadian. He gained recognition at the national level at The Big House 6 when he defeated Plup 2-0 in pools. He went on to place 17th after beating KJH and Tafokints. He notably took a set off of Leffen 3-2 at Smash 'N' Splash 3 placing 13th, and sets off of ChuDat and SFAT 2-1 and 3-0 respectively at Super Smash Con 2017, placing 5th at said event. At Smash Summit 6, he beat both Mango and Plup to take 3rd. Finally, at Shine 2018, Zain won his first major tournament, beating Mango and double eliminating Hungrybox, taking his first ever victories over the latter. Over a year later, he took his first set over Mew2King at The Big House 9, placing 2nd after losing two Game 5 sets to Mango in Grand Finals.

A few months after The Big House 9, Zain won his first supermajor at GENESIS 7 without dropping a set, defeating Hungrybox 3-1, Mango, and Hungrybox again 3-2.

In 2023, following a series of victories by Cody Schwab, Zain, Cody Schwab, and Ludwig organized a first-to-10 match between him and Cody Schwab, the winner of which would be automatically given 1st on the SSBMRank 2023 rankings. Zain lost 7-10, ending Zain's dominant stretch and cementing Cody Schwab as best player in the world.

Trivia

  • Although the correct pronunciation of his name—and essentially his tag—is "Zan" (like the beginning of "Xanax"), Zain has stated that he is fine with both pronunciations.[5]
  • Zain has defeated 5 of the members of the 2018 MPGR top 6 (all but Armada):
  • Since the COVID-19 pandemic, Zain sometimes competes in online tournaments by sandbagging under the tag "DontTestMe", where he goes solo Roy in bracket, a character considered by many to be one of the worst characters in Melee. Despite this, he has won multiple netplay events over other MPGR-ranked players.
  • Zain's first gamertag was tekkenz. His father combined Zain's favorite game at that time, Tekken, with the first letter of his first name.
  • Zain has a knack for a variety of comedic sketches and impressions, the latter of which include Marge from The Simpsons and numerous Melee players (such as Wife, UnknownForce, KoreanDJ, and ChuDat).
    • He has imitated Chu's penchant for eating raw onions on stream, substituting an onion for an entire lime (skin and all) instead.
