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 nationals. He is well-known as well for being one of the first players to win a set vs. Mew2King, all the way back in 2005. Zang also well noted for his very old style of Falco play, relying on heavy reads, [[Pillaring|pillaring]], 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]], [[Zhu]], and [[Hax]].

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 [[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.

==Notable tournament placings==
==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}}.
