I think ZeRo might even get better now that he doesn't have to worry about his "perfect win record" anymore. No doubt having that sort of thing can put a lot of stress on someone who thinks they have to keep that streak going.

[up][up] what

[up] Yeah, before his insane turnaround at TBH 5 he was pretty damn bummed. Not having to keep up the streak has got to be a huge weight off his shoulders.

[up]I acknowledge his skills; I just don't have any respect for them. There's a difference.

[up][up]You, I'm ignoring.

You should also recognize that your phrasing was easy to misinterpret. tongue

I've always had respect for the skills of those better than me. If only because I know I won't be able to get to their level ever.

AAAAUUUUGGGHHHH!!!!

I mean, you can have a grudge against ZeRo or something but there's no denying that he's still the best player even if he's win streak is gone.

I might not have the highest opinion of the guy as a person, but I do respect his skill with the game because he's just really good with the characters he plays.

Yeah, I tend to compare him to Vegeta; arrogant and self-absorbed, but with the power to back it up.

But still arrogant and self-absorbed.

...What's your problem with me? I seriously don't recall ever even arguing with you.

Baffle Blend you seriously need to chill out. We don't need to here what you think of Zero every time he's brought up.

Having met the guy (if only the once), I found him surprisingly chill. I kinda expected him to be sorta arrogant, but the worst he got into was some critique of playstyles or certain plays. Most of the social media stuff seems to be good natured banter to stir up hype and all, at least from what I've seen.

Maybe he's worse at bigger tourney's, I dunno, but he was fine at the one I saw him at.

I don't follow the tournament scene at all, but it sounds like an in-the-moment thing where his "worst" behavior is during games. He's probably just really invested and/or enjoying himself.

People really need to stop judging people based on what they do on social media.

Unless, you know, they start tweeting racist comments or something like that. Then judge away! tongue

If anything, the guy seems to have embraced being a "Heel" for the Smash fandom... not realizing that real life doesn't quite work like professional wrestling.

If nothing else ZeRo took his defeat against Nairo pretty gracefully.

Pretty gracefully? He just hugged it out with Nairo. tongue

If people find Zero too much on social media, I wonder what they think about Leffen...

That was pretty hype. I thought it was hilarious that the post-match interview he was asked, "Why do you think you didn't choke this time?" [lol]

I only wanted to see ZeRo beaten for metagame purposes. It gets stale when the same person wins all the time. This'll change it up and keep the game far more interesting.

He's a great player none the less, and I don't mind his banter that he makes up for the tourneys/social media. Keeps it fun.

They move so fast and have such quick reaction times.

This is why I don't do competitive Smash. I'm not dexterous enough lol

I wonder how much damage the really high-level Smash players are doing to their hands in the long run. I mean, RSI is a real thing, and they really seem to push those limits.
