zerothetheif is a smasher orignally from Brazil but now residing in South Florida. He has been smashing since 64 but only started competing competitively in mid 2005. While a decent competitor, the smashers of South Florida know him more as a tournament organizer/host and commentator.
Super Smash Bros. Melee
zerothetheif was formerly a Sheik main, until 2006 after watching MLG New York videos, where he was inspired by Wife and his cutthroat victories to pick up Peach.
After leaving the scene in 2008 thanks to the release of Super Smash Bros. Brawl he came back in October 2013 thanks to the resurgence of the scene through EVO 2013 and the documentary The Smash Brothers. Since then he has grown as a player thanks to the encouragement of his fellow South Florida players such as Blea Gelo, Rula, and PorkChops.
He can often be found in doubles teaming with Rula, where despite not being as skilled as certain opponents, their chemistry has given them victories over teams such as Trikrome and Marsfool. And having a very close set against Chu Dat and Chillindude829 at EVO 2014
As much as he enjoys competing he has taken a liking to commentating and TOing. He's had the opportunity to help the Gaming Knights of UCF to run pools at CEO Winterfest and CEO 2014 Prologue, as well as commentated a couple matches at the aforementioned events. And had the chance to help run brackets and judge at EVO 2014. Also he's been able to host and run many tournaments during spring and summer of 2014 through Versus Gaming Center. Most recently he got to do a decent amount of commentating at The Big House 4 with Melee Milwaukee and Tourney Locator.
Since attending EVO 2014 many of the players around him in South Florida saw a decent improvement in his competitive play. He soon found himself playing real well at The Big House 4 not only getting out of his initial pool for Melee singles but, he was even the only player in his pool to take Kels to game three.
Project M
While initially zerothetheif wasn't very interested in Project M's competitive scene, this all changed when he started to pickup Zelda randomly during a smashfest. Since then he has played surprisingly well in Project M tournaments, going for a trap based Zelda. He does still play Peach on occasion and has a pocket MetaKnight to help deal with match-ups he's not a fan of (ex. Charizard).
