Zero's tournaments just casually exposing all the corruption in the community.

It's genuinely awful to see the level of power abuse that people have just to enforce their opinions on people. Thank you for making contemt like this again, I haven't been interested in smash related content until you started doing all these cool things recently! So thank you very much and keep on keeping on!

You do you man, the TOs are in a downward spiral cause of bad choices and has led them to where they are, you keep up the good work man stay positive

Never back down, you're the GOAT!!!!

I’m not apart of the smash community anymore, but I respect that you’re one of the few people passionate about keeping the scene alive despite the hate you get. Keep up the good work man 💪 The smash community is nothing without people like you.

I'm glad you're back. I don't play Smash much anymore, but I do enjoy watching you play. Keep doing your thing dude.

I'm am SO HERE for this redemption arc ZeRo is on! It brings me so much joy to see zero happier and in this more positive place. He was my introduction to the esports scene towards the end of sm4sh. Even though I have discovered a lot of new content creators since then, I have never come across another person who I enjoy watching more than Zero. He actually helped me save years of my life. Prior to covid, I smoked a pack of cigarettes a day. Then, I moved on to chain smoking 50mg salt nicotine out of a vape whenever I had the chance. 2 weeks into quarantine, I attempted to quit nicotine for the 400th time. At that time, zero started his playthrough of FF7 remake and FFX. Quiting cold turkey was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. Its almost impossible to describe. I sat there losing my mind, trapped in a hell that felt never ending. You can't remember what normal life is supposed to feel like. Every day feels like a new shapeshifting reality. Every train of thought or course of action somehow magically ends at nicotine. As your brain goes through its nornal processes, through logic, all roads lead to a cigarette or a vape. My solution: think nothing and do nothing. When it comes to beating addiction, it all comes down to time. How long can you say NO. The only thing that kept me sane was meditating while zero took me on a ride with through his Final Fantasy adventures and escapades. If it weren't for Zero, I would never have been able to conquer my addiction. I've been clean for 3 years in spite of living with someone who smokes 2 packs a day. I have no desire to go back and never will. I am so grateful for Zero. I'm so happy to see him come back healthier than ever and actively trying to make a positive impact on the world again. He changed my life. I know he still has the power to help others too. Much love ZeRo! Thank you.

Embracing the "Banned" status and use it as a banner, and as a shield is a fantastic way to go! Pretty smart move! Let me know if you need an editor or some help on those regards... I'd love to help editing the tournaments and do individual videos per match... Also don't forget bringin Chaparrito for a colab or a tournament!

In the court of law; the TO’s decision to ban a player for simply participating in your tournament would be dismissed. The player is not doing anything illegally, nor did he commit a crime or have suspicion in scheming. So there would be no root of negligence to attach to that player. Clearly these are individuals biased towards you running tournaments and it would be considered unlawful in the court of law.

Keep doing what you’re doing man. You’re clearly one of the best smash bros players helping the community

Thats so messed up, but im not surprised. That Panda guy basically said that all the TOs were out for themselves and Panda wanted to stop that by but in a forceful way. You keep doing you Zero, and lets ignore all the drama :D

Daily reminder that any kind of harassment in any directions is nonsense !! Keep up the content Zero, really enjoying it ! I hope to see you in your finals anytime soon, would be interesting

Always been a supporter But please Just do some color correction on the vid

I would buy a shirt/hoodie if i like the design, kinda sad how things turned out for you, always enjoyed ur content, keep it up bro. (Maybe host some fun tournaments with really weird settings, would be fun to watch)

It's actually so sad that these people have so much power and abuse the fact that they can force someone to stay away from you or other "banned" people. It's childish.

Keep doing what you do best man. Live your life to the fullest and do what you enjoy the most.

Zero:the member subscription is cheaper than Netflix. Me: HELL YEAH

The tournaments have been great. Dont let anyone stop you

You should ask those players that are held back to enter on a alt account. Would be sweet to see even more players. No one would ever know

Im definitely going to attend your tournament my guy its so fun to watch and I cant believe these pro players sponsors and TO forcing them to not join because your tournaments are getting popular.

Yeaaaah, what can i say... i never "did" anything in a tourney, but thanks to some coments i made back when the drama, i am banned in my scene as well. So i'd like to contribute and or participate in the tourneys coming forward. Also, petition to steal the name from the Mario Maker community and name ourselves "The Banned Wagon" xD Since, well, many people who support this are banned and many, many others are afraid to get banned if they do so. What do y'all think?

If the ecosystem ever gets better it'd be dope if D1 ever commentated because I feel like people were extremely biased against him during the 2020 me-too movement and that dude did so much for the smash Community growing it since the days of Genesis 1 only to be thrown under the bus like trash smhhh

Keep it up man it's a long game. Some people are determined to stand in others' way or prevent them from succeeding.

I’ve been enjoying your content for years - I was subscribed since

It seems like these kind of smaller-scale tournaments that are put on by individuals and funded out of pocket is the future of professional smash. Hopefully this can grow into something cool!

zero why not include a vocal with the winners of the tournaments/in the pool? listen to salem (or others), his opinions etc... it can be nice and gives a pleasant touch at the end

I originally thought it was going to be an in person tournament series, was this your original intention and do you think it is still a possibility in the near future?

keep goin man. dont get discouraged.

People can participate in tournaments without using their actual names. If their sponsors are that ignorant.

Keep it up man. Other people will follow your example and eventually a new community will grow as the old one dies.

I’m really hoping someone can sponsor some of these

Honestly would love the chance to play in one of these tournaments. Screw the TO'S. Id even throw in a little bit of money.

I hate that you and Nairo seem to be at war. I feel like Technicals really facilitated that by releasing a Ban Nairo video then a Welcome Back ZeRo video back to back. Seemed to be a clear agenda and certain screenshots indicated collusion there which probably was a bad look in his camp. Just wish we could all just get along I’m a fan of both 😢

Keep going ZeRo, haters gonna hate. Your tournaments are the best to watch that's why they're scared and have to flex their little muscles.

Keep going yo. Look I know when it was fresh in the drama. I also had a bad taste when hearing Zero. BUT. This man has been putting in work to better himself. Everyone deserves a second chance. Again especially doing the work to be better. Can’t say that about some others. Keep going !! You are making great moves

i would love to see a interview at the end of the tornement with the winner and asking questions like how they felt they were doing and asking about other players they were seen that was great and fun to play vs etc.

I think that’s a smart approach. I’m all here for it

Zero about to zero out his cancelling! Lmao

would you ever consider having a regional style event where local TO's can organize a tournament and if it gets enough players one player will get an invite to a larger stage?

Zero has the chad jawline

Serious inquiry: Why do people hate on Zero so much? Are people hating just to hate? I know about how Zero had his controversy but he proved he was innocent with his receipts, right? Or are we all degenerates for liking Zero still?

Awesome as always can wait for more tourney vids! Keep on keeping on!

I absolutely love the direction your going with your channel the only wacky idea for the tournament would be amiibo or doubles

Hey man, I am happy you made a comeback on youtube and I enjoy watching your videos. I feel like you' re doing the right thing by keeping your tournaments alive, even if you receive negative feedback from time to time, people will be people. I have a suggestion as well... Elegant seems to be off the map right now for reasons I won't write about here, and to be honest I don't know enough about the facts, but I feel he could be a nice guest to have on your channel and it could potentially help him recover. Just an idea like that.

Thanks for being you, ZeRo

as a TO myself from Ga I support zero in his endeavor to bring more competition to the scene. Keep it up man hopefully i could compete in your tournament myself someday.

Holy moly, i leave the smash scene for a few years and zero transformed into gigachad :O Well done man!

If that's the case, what difference does it make between the actual TOs and Orgs in the current Smash scenes and criminal mafias? I mean, yes, they aren't powerful nor move any illegal substances, but they're the same in menacing thirds involved into harming them (in this case, their carrer and reputation) if they don't follow orders. And that's where this becames depressing, especially when the new members of the community or the most influenciable ones have that wish in becoming a Pro Smash player or being someone in the scene are threathened by these figures (not just a player, but a commentator, TO or any other important role). Some of those may say: "It's because there should be consecuences, it's part of life". But the menaced can also think: "There's also consecuences for you, too". That's plain intimidation and people need to understand that being a pro-gamer isn't that profitable unless you do something original that none others like HBox, Maximillian or even Mr Beast has done.

The players who get threaten to get banned if they play in your tournament should make secret alt accounts and play. They can communicate with ZeRo in private to set things up.

Grande Gonzalo! A seguir metiéndole y mucha suerte en todo

Don't let them stop you ZeRo, keep going

are you going to play Final Fantasy 16 & Persona 3 remake?

Keep this up bro, Smash was a big part of my life growing up especially competitive because we used to have school tournaments for smash 64 in like 2001 when it came out. I might end up donating big bucks to this some time. All I want to do is help commentate Because I love the hype around good Commentators

Years ago when you released a shirt of your quote of the time "So a lot of people have been wondering" I bought one and it's been one of my favorite shirts to wear as it's been a great conversation starter

Bro I've been gone for a minute, you look great!!!! You seem way happier too. Glad to see it.

I’ve seen and experienced bad TOs abuse their power for the “sake of the communities safety” and end up making unneeded, and more often worse decisions just cause someone doesn’t fall in line, or like what someone follows, thinks, and even some people they interact with. Majority of the community has a problem with their emotions, and can’t seem to leave theirs out of important decision making. Just cause people want to interact or support you zero, doesn’t make them the bad guy, everyone has reasons to justify their whys on any subject or matter whether or not we agree with their reasonings. I support you in whatever you do with yourself Zero. Please take care.

You're awesome Zero

the people that abuse their power like that are exactly like the ones who harassed onin and made him leave because they dont like steve

Everybody play under false aliases, they’ll never know!

Here's an idea that you've had before I'm sure: Jake "NoRegerT" Umpleby used to run these "anonymous" tournaments in SC2. While he did reveal the people when they were defeated, you could just not do that. I don't know how easy it is for people to be recognised by play style, but it might be worth a try? Sayonara and all that...

Haven’t played smash in a while but I just generally enjoy your content! Keep it up 🙏🏼

Single doubles. 2 teams of 2 but the catch is each player has to hold 1 joycon.

I definitely wanna donate once I get a bit more financially secured lol

If you want too, you could probably find a way for them to register anonymously under a different name? That’s the only thing I can think of. Otherwise people are going to continue to be obnoxious regard of how time goes on.

Keeping things running, regardless of how people view it, we’re thankful for ya ❤️

Up the prize money, fk they gonna do when the prize pot is 1 Mill.

The perseverance is amazing

Can't those top players enter anonymously with characters they normally don't main or even secondary?

1:27 local to's prohibiting atop sponsors shows players themselves give the middle finger. They don't need us and they want to keep smash alive the smash community best fix itself from those responsible than just scapegoat ZeRo a problem. They're what ruin and ZeRo"s bring fire back the community 🔥

Sometimes in life ppl mess up. And sometimes ppl mess up a lot. But instead of looking at bad things a person did, people should realize when an individual is trying their best to change and become a better person. Everyone only remembers the bad thing a person did. No one likes to be remembered for their mistakes. So ppl should rlly try to see zero's change rather than hop on a hate train just because that's whats trending.

This is how you continue to build as an adult. You pave your own path.

Hola ZeRo justo estaba poniendome al Dia Con tus otros Videos. Puedes Saludarme Eres El Mejor ❤️

Your vids and live streams are always welcome, at least I can help you with watching all the vids and live streams that are genuinely very entertaining already,

villain arc villain arc

Just keep doing you big dawg.

My greatest aspiration is to see your tournaments grow to a point where they're so successful that they're generating more buzz than the MLG tournaments.

Bro you are lookin great Zero! I haven't watched you in over a year but you seem to be doing great. If you ever need a TO lmk

Would love to see these community tournaments branch off into melee or even other fighting games like street fighter 6

It’d be REALLY crazy if this causes a shift in power. I will definitely support! 🎉

One of these days it'll be better for them to be a part of your tournament than the tournaments of the people that hate.

Just here to acknowledge the glow up my boy Zero had. Holy Frick bro looking good

Recommendation for your merch: "From Zero to ZeRo"

Support from Argentina Zero, hope you have the strength to keep going everyday and get through this!

Keep trying your best 💙

Thanks for doing these tournaments! What if you do an All Little Mac tournament? 😂 Maybe Peanut 🥜 will join ...

Zero, it's possible that it's a bit of a "fear" game. I.e. everyone is afraid of what everyone else thinks, but in reality no one actually cares. Now maybe those sponsors have privately stated otherwise, or established that kind of precedent - but if they haven't, then I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that sponsors are the issue. Another option to consider is inviting participants who aren't beholden to sponsors, like other KZfaqrs or Twitch streamers. (Definitely a great way to stick it to them if need be!) And of course, large prize pools and publicity are always strong motivation for people to overcome whatever mental obstacles might be there. Just my 2 cents.

What was Ludwig's response to zeros drama, I came in afterwards? I like both creators so I would love to see but if there's beef or weird energy I understand why it won't happen.

Actually such an incredible individual

Damn brovi still cant believe zeros transformation, he looks and acts such a chad now its close to bringing a tear to my eyes🥲

Hey Zero! Are you interested in trying sf6? The game looks pretty dope. Also, you should try leverless controllers lol. Regarding allegations and all that, it’s just smash community being smash community

Bro I would love to see you pull an uno reverse card on the community where you tournament becomes the largest online smash tournament around

I'll always support you!

Ay unrelated but you’re looking really good man! I’m happy to see you in a good place!

Yo Zero, how can I enter your tournaments? I'm a competitive player, albeit locally, and I love Smash as a whole. To me, I don't care about the drama in the Smash scene, I just wanna play ya know? And on wifi, no-one knows the other guy you know what I mean? Anyway, if you see this, could you send me info on how to enter your tournaments and when the next one is? Thanks.

yo i havent been here in a while did zero get a glowup or is this AI chad zero

long time viewer. love you zero keep up the amazing work you do for the smash community. maybe one day it will get noticed and not written off by the major bias of the community. at least i hope so.

Thank you for keeping smash community 🙏 Subbed

for people who dont watch the full tourney u could put out a highlights video showing the best and biggest parts
