''Gonzalo Barrios''', aka '''ZeRo''' is a smasher from Chillán, hile who is currently in Hammond, Indiana. He is currently considered the undisputed best ''Smash 4'' player in the world, having had a record of 55 consecutive tournament wins from the game's release 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]], and [[The Big House 5]].  He has had "ZeRo" as his gamertag since 2005, and has been playing Smash since ''Smash 64'' in 1999. He started to travel and play in tournaments in Chile in early 2007 during ''Melee''. ZeRo quit Smash completely until December of 2010 and then focused only on ''Brawl'' but in early 2014, he picked up ''Melee'' again, as well as the ''Brawl'' mod ''Project M''. He is currently the top ranked online and offline ''Brawl'' player in Chile, maining {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}. He originally became famous in the United States by being one of the top players on [[All is Brawl]]. ZeRo was also often considered to be the best ''Project M'' player in the world during version 3.02, one of the best ''Brawl'' players in the world, and a top {{SSBM|Fox}} player in ''Melee''. Due to his top professional success with multiple ''Smash'' games, ZeRo is widely considered to be one of the best overall ''Smash'' players in the world, along with {{Sm|Mew2King}}, {{Sm|ESAM}}, {{Sm|Wizzrobe}}, and {{Sm|Larry Lurr}}. He was formerly ranked 1st on the [[SoCal Smash 4 Power Rankings]].
 
==History==
ZeRo's first international tournament was [[Apex 2012]], where he placed 17th in singles and 9th in doubles, teaming with {{Sm|Kadaj}}.
 
Shortly before [[Apex 2013]], ZeRo arrived in the United States to attend XSmash, and shocked the world by winning the tournament, defeating top professionals such as {{Sm|Vinnie}}, {{Sm|Nairo}}, and {{Sm|Mew2King}} during his march to victory. At Apex 2013, he placed 9th in singles and 13th in doubles, teaming with {{Sm|quiKsilver}}. He was also selected as the third World player in the United States vs. The World crew battle, taking the final two stocks off of Mew2King before losing to {{Sm|ESAM}}. ZeRo's last tournament on the East Coast during his stay was Rescue 2, which he won after defeating Nairo in two consecutive sets during grand finals. A week later, he traveled to the Midwest to attend Outrage, which he won after defeating players such as {{Sm|Ally}} and {{Sm|Zinoto}}. Before leaving the United States to return to Chile, ZeRo was honorably ranked 2nd on the [[Tristate Power Rankings|Tristate Brawl Power Rankings]], behind Mew2King.
 
Later that year, ZeRo traveled to the United States in preparation for [[SKTAR 2]], continuing to practice at smaller tournaments with the eventual goal of winning the international event. He convincingly won his first tournament, Crossfire: Shockwave, during his stay, defeating top professionals such as Vinnie and {{Sm|Anti}}. He also won doubles with Anti at said event. ZeRo continued his winning streak at Rescue 3, a tournament that provided a glimpse of the fierce competition that would be seen at SKTAR 2, defeating {{Sm|Mr. R}}, Vinnie, and Nairo to take the event.
 
At SKTAR 2, ZeRo placed 4th in doubles, teaming with Ally, losing to {{Sm|Nakat}} and {{Sm|False}} in winners' semis and {{Sm|Nairo}} and {{Sm|ADHD}} in losers' semis. In singles, ZeRo got 1st seed in his bracket pool after defeating {{Sm|Atomsk}} in winners' finals, advancing to the singles bracket. In winners' quarters, he lost to ADHD 1-2 in a close set, getting timed out and losing the percentage lead at the very last second of game 3. ZeRo then took out {{b|SKTAR|tournament}} champion {{Sm|Nairo}} 2-1 and {{Sm|ESAM}} 2-0 in losers' bracket before being eliminated by {{Sm|Nakat}} 1-2 in losers' quarters, placing 5th out of 141 entrants.
 
ZeRo attended [[Apex 2014]] five months later. He defeated Ally in winners' quarters before losing to ESAM 0-2 in winners' semis, and then proceeded to eliminate ADHD 2-1, Mew2King 2-0, and ESAM 3-0 in a rematch in losers' bracket, making it to grand finals against Nairo. ZeRo ultimately lost to Nairo 1-3 and placed 2nd in singles after some very close and exciting matches. He also placed 5th in doubles, teaming with {{Sm|Chibo}}, defeating several teams such as Nakat and False, and also almost defeating Nairo and ADHD.
 
ZeRo's next appearance was at the MLG sponsored ''Smash'' event [[Shuffle V]] in Columbus, Ohio. In ''Brawl'' singles, he placed 1st after defeating ADHD 2-0, Mew2King 2-1, and Vinnie 3-2 in winners finals. He lost to Vinnie 2-3 in the first set of grand finals, but still won the second set 3-1. He placed 7th in ''Brawl'' doubles with Chibo. ZeRo also placed 13th in ''Melee'' singles, 3rd in ''Melee'' doubles with {{Sm|Nintendude}}, 13th in ''Project M'' singles, and 1st in ''Project M'' doubles with {{Sm|Denti}}.
 
ZeRo's next tournament was DtJ's First Date, where he placed in top 5 in ''Melee'' and ''Project M'', and won both ''Brawl'' singles and doubles.
 
ZeRo would then travel to several qualifiers for the ''Melee'' event at [[MLG Anaheim 2014]]. At [[Fighters' Edge]], he placed 5th in ''Melee'' singles and 2nd in ''Project M'' singles. At [[WHOBO MLG]] one week later, ZeRo placed 1st in ''Brawl'' singles, ''Project M'' singles, and ''Project M'' doubles with Denti. He also placed 2nd in ''Brawl'' doubles with Denti, and 4th in ''Melee'' singles. Three weeks later, at [[Pat's House 2]], ZeRo placed 17th in ''Melee'' singles and 7th in ''Melee'' doubles, teaming with {{Sm|Westballz}}.
 
ZeRo then attended [[SKTAR 3]] the week after. In ''Brawl'' singles, he was knocked out of winners' bracket 1-2 by ADHD, and then eliminated {{Sm|Vex}} 2-0, Vinnie 2-1, and Ally 2-0, before being eliminated by Nairo 1-2, placing 4th. He placed 4th in ''Brawl'' doubles with Vex, 9th in ''Project M'' singles, and 1st in ''Project M'' doubles with {{Sm|Rolex}}, defeating Mew2King and {{Sm|Armada}} 3-2 in both winners' finals and grand finals. Lastly, ZeRo placed 9th in ''Melee'' singles, notably eliminating {{Sm|HugS}} and {{Sm|Darc}} in losers' bracket before losing to {{Sm|SFAT}} 0-2. This placement, coupled with ZeRo's placements at previous qualifiers, allowed him to qualify for the championship bracket at MLG Anaheim 2014. He also placed 5th in ''Melee'' doubles with {{Sm|s0ft}}.
 
At MLG Anaheim 2014, ZeRo's only win in his pool was against {{Sm|aMSa}}, who he defeated 3-2. He lost against Armada 1-3, {{Sm|Mango}} 0-3, {{Sm|Hungrybox}} 1-3, {{Sm|PewPewU}} 0-3, {{Sm|Fiction}} 1-3, and Westballz 0-3. This caused ZeRo to be seeded in losers' round 1 in the championship bracket, where he was eliminated by {{Sm|Plup}} 0-3, placing 17th overall.
 
ZeRo attended [[CEO 2014]] one week later. At this tournament, he won ''Project M'' singles, defeating aMSa 2-0, {{Sm|ChuDat}} 2-0, and {{Sm|Wizzrobe}} 3-1 in winners' finals. He lost to Wizzrobe 0-3 in the first set of grand finals, but still won the second set 3-1. ZeRo also placed 2nd in ''Project M'' doubles with Mew2King, 17th in ''Melee'' singles, and 4th in ''Melee'' doubles with ESAM. ZeRo then attended [[Kings of Cali 4]], where he placed 13th in ''Melee'' singles and 5th in ''Melee'' doubles with Westballz.
 
At [[EVO 2014]], ZeRo defeated Fiction 2-0 in the winners' quarters bracket, and then defeated SFAT before losing to Hungrybox 0-2. However, in the losers' bracket, he was eliminated by Fiction in a rematch, placing 17th overall in ''Melee'' singles. ZeRo also placed 5th in the ''Melee'' doubles side event with {{Sm|KoreanDJ}}, and 1st in the ''Project M'' singles side event.
 
In ''Project M'' singles at [[Zenith 2014]], ZeRo managed to win the tournament through losers' bracket after losing to {{Sm|NinjaLink}} 0-2 in the second round of winners' bracket. He defeated {{Sm|Jtails}} 2-0, {{Sm|DJ Nintendo}} 2-0, Rolex 2-1, {{Sm|Seagull Joe}} 2-0, NinjaLink 2-1 in a rematch, Mew2King 3-1, and {{Sm|Emukiller}} 3-0 to make it to grand finals. In grand finals, he defeated {{Sm|Junebug}} 3-1 in both sets. ZeRo also placed 1st in ''Project M'' doubles with Mew2King, defeating Rolex and Emukiller 3-0 in winners' finals and Junebug and {{Sm|Pink Fresh}} 3-1 in grand finals, 7th in ''Melee'' singles, losing to {{Sm|Zhu}} 0-2 in losers' top 8, and 2nd in ''Melee'' doubles with {{Sm|Axe}}, losing to Mew2King and {{Sm|Hax}} in winners' finals, and then defeating Zhu and {{Sm|Cactuar}} in a close set in losers' finals before losing to Mew2King and Hax again in grand finals.
 
ZeRo is widely considered to be the best ''[[Smash 4]]'' player in the world by a large margin, winning numerous amounts of early ''Smash 4'' national tournaments including [[Apex 2015]], [[CEO 2015]], and [[EVO 2015]], often without losing a set. This amazing prowess was recognized in CEO, where $500 would be rewarded to any Smasher who could take a set off of ZeRo; however, he again successfully won the tournament without dropping down to losers bracket, defeating {{Sm|ESAM}} 3-1 in winners semis and {{Sm|Nairo}} 3-1 in both winners finals and grand finals. At EVO 2015, ZeRo defeated {{Sm|Ally}} and {{Sm|Abadango}} 2-0 in winners quarters and semis, and {{Sm|Nairo}} and {{Sm|Mr. R}} 3-0 in winners finals and grand finals, taking the tournament without losing a single game while switching back exclusively to Diddy Kong for his set against Mr. R.
 
ZeRo was also the winner of the promotional {{forwiiu}} tournament held by Nintendo at [[E3 2014]], playing as {{SSB4|Zero Suit Samus}} against {{Sm|Hungrybox}} as {{SSB4|Kirby}} in grand finals.
 
He resigned from [[CLASH Tournaments]] on November 2nd, 2014.
 
Although ZeRo hadn't entered a ''Melee'' tournament all year, Armada drafted him for his crew in the [[FC Smash 15XR: Return]] crew battle. ZeRo faced {{sm|Kalamazhu}} and was subsequently three stocked.
 
On July 28th, 2015; After a 41 tournament win streak, including winning [[EVO 2015]] without dropping a game, ZeRo was signed on by [[Team SoloMid]].
 
At The Big House 5, ZeRo suffered a shocking loss in Round 2 Pools against {{Sm|Seagull Joe}}, leading many to believe that the undisputed #1 player would finally be defeated. However, ZeRo would end up easily going through the losers bracket, defeating {{Sm|MVD}} 2-0, {{Sm|StaticManny}} 2-0, {{Sm|Wizzrobe}} 2-0, {{Sm|Ally}} 3-0, {{Sm|ESAM}} 3-1, {{Sm|Zenyou}} 3-0, and {{Sm|Rayquaza07}} 3-1. Finally, he was put up against {{Sm|ANTi}} in losers semifinals, but despite being down 2-1 against ANTi's Mario, he brought it back in a very close set to win 3-2. After 3-0'ing {{Sm|Dabuz}} in losers finals, he would go on to face long time rival {{Sm|Nairo}}. ZeRo would 3-0 Nairo in the first set to cause a reset, after Nairo was playing secondaries in an attempt to avoid his ZSS being downloaded. In the second set of grand finals, with Nairo playing ZSS, ZeRo was down 2-1 to Nairo, marking the second time in the tournament that he was just one game away from losing his streak. In the end, ZeRo brought it back once again, defeating Nairo 3-2, and completing one of the greatest losers bracket runs in Smash history.
 
ZeRo's winning streak was finally ended at [[MLG World Finals 2015]], where {{sm|Nairo}} beat him 3-2 and then 3-1 in grand finals.

==Trivia==
*ZeRo's prize check of $11,556 for winning [[EVO 2015]] is the second-largest in any ''Smash'' tournament after {{Sm|Gnes}} won [[MLG Dallas 2010]] for $12,500.
*The only players that ZeRo holds a negative record against in ''Brawl'' are {{Sm|ADHD}} (3-5), {{Sm|Dabuz}} (0-1), and {{Sm|Mikeneko}} (0-1).
**The only player that ZeRo holds a negative record against in ''Smash 4'' is {{Sm|Seagull Joe}} (0-1).
*ZeRo is a huge anime enthusiast, often posting on social media about different shows he enjoys, like Hunter x Hunter, No Game No Life, Attack on Titan and more.
**He has claimed that his favorite anime is Yu-Gi-Oh.
*ZeRo stopped playing Melee around 2009, but returned to it in February of 2014 for the summer big Melee events.
**When it was announced that both ''Melee'' and ''Smash 4'' would be at EVO 2015, ZeRo announced that he would shift his focus on ''Melee'' exclusively for at least one year if he won ''Smash 4'' at that tournament, citing {{Sm|Leffen}} as his inspiration. He eventually [https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CKeVeo2UMAAf49d.png:large decided against it] despite taking EVO 2015 without even dropping a game, and said "when I feel like playing [Melee], I'll play it. That's all there is to it".
*ZeRo learned English by playing ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'' when he was 4 years old by using a dictionary with the help of his mother.
*ZeRo is a very methodical player. He often memorizes specific percents or compiles lists of information to improve his game.
*ZeRo wears a signature white scarf that his mother gave him when he left Chile and [http://shop.gunnars.com/sheadog/d/1062 Gunnar's Sheadog] glasses.
*Despite being ranked 35th in the world on the [[2014 SSBMRank]], he dropped Melee in favor of Smash 4 when the latter was released (November 2014).
*ZeRo has stated that {{Sm|Mew2King}} is his favorite ''[[Super Smash Bros]]'' player.
*ZeRo, across all games, has placed first the most out of any other smasher.
