Before Sparg0 and Kola, competitive Smash had a different young prodigy, Zackray. From the beginning of Ultimate's life, it was clear that Zackray had realized something very few top players had, that sticking with a single character isn't always ideal. Join us as we take you through Zackray's competitive history and the tournament that cemented him as Smash Ultimate's Wildcard.

This was REALLY well made, from the graphics, to audio design, to everything! The music choice for the ending, the graphics drawn to build up suspense, the narration, everything. Certainly the best video made on this channel, and just props to everybody who helped make this. I couldn't even tell that the video was 35 minutes long, and now I want more! Serious props to everybody who helped make this video. Side Note: I wish I could donate some money to this video, because it was just so well made and deserves it! I can't promise much, but I really think that this is worth my money.

Zackray has won majors with 8 characters (not including Sonic.) Out of those 8, he's considered the best in the world at ROB, Wolf, and Joker if you don't count Leo. How in the hell do you become the best in the world at 3 different characters???

@bruhtopic 2 года назад

Someone on a different video’s comment section said Protobanham has recently stated that while Leo and Zackray both play ROB very differently, Leo’s ROB is on par with Zackray’s. I don’t necessarily know where they got this information, but if it’s true then that’s kind of insane.

@rospoho 2 года назад

Zackray is one of 4 people in Smash Ultimate history who could have peaked at # 1 in the world if it weren't for a certain Mexican dude. Considering the story from 2018 to the present, Zackray, Tweek, Samsora and Sparg0 are the only people who could have considered themselves No. 1 in the world at any given time had it not been for Leo. This hints at how crazy Leo is, no matter what new talent he shows up, he is always ready to shatter his dreams of glory.

@GonSSB 2 года назад

Well, Sparg0 is another mexican dude, so now people have to dethrone 1st and 2nd place from Mexicans. Gluto and Light are pretty close tho

@mysticsquirtle5109 2 года назад

It’s crazy how out of those players, Zackray is the only one who has never taken a set off Leo, that’s not to take anything away from Zackray, because in my opinion, in all of Ultimate, peak Zackray is second or third in the world, it just goes to show how crazy Leo is

We who are his fan are grieved that we were not able to look at his effort and contents. This video kept on gathering up the crystal of his effort vividly at the moment. How do you think this video to influence it? It becomes his vitality and thinks that it is too enough to raise the passion of the fan expecting his return ! XD

Zachery isn't just a polymorph. He plays poker while everyone else is playing blackjack. He isn't just counting cards, he's dealing them. I never knew Smash Ultimate could be so strategic. I never saw losses as opportunities. The few players who do? They're dangerous. Truly dangerous.

@mysticsquirtle5109 2 года назад

It’s so fitting that Zackray is a Joker main/comain because of P5 P5 focuses a lot on tarot cards, each representing a different arcana and confidant (which benefits you in the game). The person who gave Joker his powers and considered him to be this saviour is the Fool arcana (beginning of the video) Also in the first palace, when deciding a name for Joker, Morganna says Joker because he’s the leader, so he represents a wildcard or trump card (like how Zackray is the wildcard who dominates) Finally, Joker is the only character who can have multiple personas in the game (which is like how Zackray can pilot so many characters and be #1 in Japan with so many)
