==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Zinoto only picked up Zero Suit Samus so he didn't have to play Diddy Kong dittos, as it is his least favorite match up.
*Zinoto is known for wearing his signature scarf to all the ''Smash'' tournaments he attends: a burgundy, knitted one with his gamer tag and the University of Michigan logo embroidered on it. He also commonly wears a newsboy hat.
*Zinoto plays secondaries in ''[[Brawl]]'' for the sole purpose of not having to play the {{SSBB|Diddy Kong}} ditto as it is his least favorite [[matchup]].
