Dont worry the Smash community is the reason Smash esports isnt bigger. They can point the finger at Nintendo all they want but all they did was prove Nintendo right with not being apart of the scene.

Would be great to get Anti onto this podcast

zero gaslighting himself into winning is both hilarious and truly amazing

Plot Twist: the podcast is controversial not because of past events, but because it's the only cast that tells the truth about how bad the current smash scene is🤣

A ZeRo podcast is something I’ve always wanted

Zero: I'm 28 I feel like a fossil Me chillin in my 30s after being fired from the demon kings army: I beg thee pardon?

You should get technicals on the podcast

I think ZeRo's secret is that he wasn't afraid to innovate or try new things. He once said he was on Twitter before anyone else and was made fun of for it, now everyone's on Twitter. That kind of coincides with your initiative with playing both Sheik and Diddy Kong. But it's not as simple as, "Anyone can succeed if they try new things," I think the fact that you did try new things where others wouldn't enhances your ability to perform than either aspect or trait could individually.

I'M SO EXCITED FOR ZERO LOGIC

I'll be honest, I was super into competitive smash and following players like Mango and ZeRo back in the day. I stopped following the scene when ZeRo was falsely accused, and even now I'm still salty with the Smash community. I've learned to support people, not communities or social groups.

How do i get on the next podcast?

This content where you give a behind the scenes look on this space is gold and fun to listen to cuz we can only really get this view from you

Just straight up saying ESAM is unlikable? I'm definitely going to enjoy this podcast going forward!

I think the political take was spot on a big reason I was detracted by the scene

Are you going to release your episodes on podcast platforms so I can listen while driving?

You hooked me with the opening. Spice Lord zero here with another zinger

Brb forcing my cat to make a podcast

Nice podcast. Looking forward to seeing more. And it would be very cool to see you play SF6

Zero Logic! I love it! Haha! I have a feeling this video is going to break my heart being a long time huge Smash Bros fan since the 1999.

We need Mos Trixx in this too👀

This podcast was really chill and fun; the ending where ZeRo talked about "daddy sakurai" was hilarious XD

I love that finally, after all those years, someone has arisen to fight against the diehard nintendo fanboy mentality once again. This time i do hope... That you are the one who will finally succeed.

Love the podcast!!!! PLEASE DO MORE OF THESE!!!

Thank you for making that podcast, really missed you the most since podcasting was becoming larger and larger because your videos before covid always had that style of telling stories and more. I would really appreciate if you could take next time about your experience with project m and the other "forbidden" mods. Did you even play any? Anyways, great video and thanks for making content again

Bro you look so healthy, happy for you.

what's the name of the background music? looking forward to more of these videos, it's gonna be great

That first sentence though of the video though..... I literally quit playing the game during all that drama. Haven't touched it since.

Zero the Driver of Ontos, Pneuma, and Logos combine. lol Hype for the podcast jaja

Really loved this podcast Zero. I listened to it while at the gym and it hit so thank you for being an inspiration by being who you are

Off topic, but would you play the HDR ultimate mod?

I enjoyed this podcast! Please do more in the future, it's nice to listen to while working

Watched the entire video and loved how much time you were given to explain. Please do more, your stories are the best

Haven’t seen it yet but I can’t wait to hear what he got to say

i've been wanting this for so long. Great video and always love DKbill. You two rock!

The community is filled with grown men and women who essentially peaked at high school and never grew afterwards. Which is exactly why they fight so hard for a seat at the table to gain power over a community hosting tournaments for a children's video game 🤦🏾‍♂️

“I don’t care if they’re a circle” Zer0 and Greg Ducette collab when?

I think this came out really good. Watched the whole thing. You guys have good energy together.

The reason I stopped competing is because I truly got to the place where I didn't know why I was losing. Just couldn't figure it out. Figured that meant I was the best I could be at that point.

I've noticed that talent in areas that I have experience in like music and coding is the same thing as Zero's idea of talent, that is to improve in less time than others. I've also found that talent is general, if you have talent at one thing you are most likely talented at any given other thing. I liked his analysis, because most successful people have the bias of overplaying the role of hard work so they can feel more deserving of their success.

I'D really suggest using that youtuber chapters feature so you can see on the timebar what topic is being talked about at what point. Makes podcasts way easier to consume when youre not someone to just turn them on in the background. You can skip to the topics youre interested in.

The esam part 😂

bro this was so hype to listen to. thank you so much for finally starting this lol. excited to see you in more episodes

This was more of an interview rather than a podcast

that's a great name for a podcast, sign me up

Next video: "I drank a controversial glass of water"

Me and ZeRo have a lot of the same mindset. When I was young, that's how I thought too. "I could beat him if I just did this, I shouldn't be losing to this trash, etc etc." The only reason I stopped being toxic was because my health declined to the point I couldn't compete anymore. But also, there are points where I just have no idea how I lost. And I relate to that Esam comment so much too. I'm sure a lot of the high level competitors think like ZeRo does; especially in Melee. I think the reason why ZeRo calls himself a Narcissist is because of Blue Lock. Pretty sure he watched it and resonated with it. Because nobody would use that term that way otherwise. Only Blue Lock has ever used narcissist in such an odd way. But no, ZeRo, that's not what a narcissist is. A narcissist is someone that lets their ego get over their head. You've proven yourself many times. You're actually much more of a realist. A realist looks at things in a more unbiased way and that's what differentiated you from the others; where you'd play both Diddy and Sheik while everyone else only played Diddy or only Sheik. And that's what I loved about you. You'd use any and all options in your arsenal to win and don't let some pride get in the way like MVD did with Diddy. He didn't like the way you played Diddy and his pride made him play Diddy that he feels is the best; which is by being less cheap and more flashy. But by doing so, he limit his options. If anything, he's more of a narcissist than you. He kept saying he could beat you, yet never has and never got close to winning a big tournament. Don't get me wrong though, you do have some narcissistic traits, but so does many other people. It's normal. As well, the health decline I was talking about in the beginning is specifically my right hand. To this day, I still have to care for it. So all you gamers out there need to care for your hands and adapt a soft button pressing style. Armada never has hand problems because he has a soft, precise button pressing style. As well, for the small number of you out there, control your anger. If you've thrown a controller before or something similar, there's something very wrong with you and it will come back to bite you one way or another in the future. I got too angry all the time and it played a big part in why my right hand ended up this way. And as a reminder, M2K has hand problems and I've seen the way he plays. He had a very strong grip and pressed very hard. Sorry if it seems so out-of-left-field to see this comment. The video is very thought-provoking and it makes me think about things that I'd like for people to know for their own good.

yo zero I'd love to see your set up tour I really like the cloud figure you got

Awesome birthday for me I get to watch a ZeRo video and spend time with family.

IT is a pretty disgusting communtiy tbh

Hey zero will you be posting on zero aim

This will be a great series.👌

"Is it because he's bald?" BRUH IM DEAD

Joe rogan been real quiet since tgis dropped

The Smash community is always falling apart.

Sick. I'll listen... I'll watch... Keep it up man

I love your explanation on Narcissism 11 minutes in. I have felt the same way for the longest time and it's helped me become better than average exponentially fast at every video game I've played, even as a kid. I literally refused to ever truly believe I lost, and I still do.

This is actually super fun to listen to

Hype video! Espero que algun dia puedas hacer un video en español dedicadoa a tus fans de Latinoamérica!

If this is going to be a series it’ll be good to name them as so, #1 and so on

sad that the smash community isnt allowed to just be dudes playing games together. instead loaded with politics, and agendas and thugs.

Good podcast/interview. I like how you said you play Smash intuitively instead of focusing on frame data. Funny thing is that is why Harada was against putting in frame data. He wanted people to play Tekken through intuition and felt frame data took away from the flow and feel of the game

It would be funny if you could record the memory of Sakurai speaking and translate it and it is completely different from what the translator told Zero 😂.

Why did you go for the 'Tim Pool' look for your podcasts? 🤣

Can you invite MoS Trixx to your podcast? He would be up for a collaborative too.

Not the first time ive heard about how unlikeable ESAM is lol

ESAM got some skeletons in his closet

Bro DKBill your joker guide was legendary thank you so much for that

Everytime I watch ZeRo every few months I just be like damn. He really him now

As a top level player (not in smash) myself I personally think the "lose to someone and think I'll never lose to them again" is a normal mindset, but only for the passionate. I may be biased since the main reason I even became a top player was because of an argument I got into with the top players when I was a noob when I argued that they weren't special. But that's really one of the main things that separates success and failure, if you have the passion or drive to always believe you can make it no matter how hard it'll be an actually puttin it into action. while I can't say anyone can be #1 cuz some people truly are just built a bit different, I think anyone can shoot for the top and get somewhere close but without that passion an drive what you may feel is "doin the best you can to improve" wasn't anywhere close, an you just give up thinkin you'll never get there, which once you believe that you're 100% right. The amount of time an work it actually takes to get to the top cannot be understated, for me it took like 9 months of comin home from school an playin 9-10 hours every single day, no days off, I played so much I saw notes when I closed my eyes even in class lol. But yea before I rant too much my point was I think that level of determination while admirable isn't really a talent. Most top players aren't talented, just hard workers, that guy that whoops your ass regardless of how much you seem to work probably works harder an more effenciently than you realize. (some folks truly are talented an just pick it up quicker naturally tho, I'd never say they don't exist) If anyone cares I was one of the best players in a few rhythm games, guitar hero, rock band, flash flash revolution, and osu mostly between 2009-2011

Zero podcast is hype. Always love to see DKbill as well

Excited to watch

Did ZeRo get another dog? Because I know I remember seeing a Corgi walk into his room in a different video

bro said daddy sakurai and all i could think of was etika for some odd reason...i miss that dude yo

I loved the video! Something i would like you to talk about is looking more into the whole panda drama, theres been so much misinformation surrounding it and i would lov to hear you talk about it. You may want to watch this one video called "the unsolved mystery of the smash world tour" to get a greater insight on what actually happened, u would shed a much brighter light on the truth of the situation. Tho u dont hav to just keep making great content!

worst loss was esam, I'm fucking dead

This was fun to watch if you were thinking of doing video format with the podcast where we could see y’all maybe load up some smash plays some matches in between and you can pause during or after match to talk about something. Love you zero and I’m happy to see you in a positive mind set

Pls let’s make the zero podcast a thing

We need MoS Trixx here too!

zero's take on motivation is a pretty eye-opening one ngl

podcast on spotify by chance?

Damm right, "I have to" is the only way. FROM NOW ON WE HAVE TO!

What are you going to name the podcast? ZeRo Filters?

Hey Zero! Happy you making great content again bro! Keep it up!

It would be awesome if you went legit and uploaded this to Apple Podcasts

The fact that vgbootcamp is still running even though they're the ones that sabotaged their own tournament and brought Panda global down with them is nuts. Finding out that Allan got death threats because he was essentially telling smash world tour that they wouldn't get their license in time shows just how much the smash community doesn't deserve big tournaments

Dude Zero, these podcasts are amazing.

Am I tripping or he hasn’t streamed in like a month right?

I knew he was going to start a podcast 🔥

this is great, i always wanted this without knowing

Gotta say I agree with the politically charged stuff. The allegations and such already got me to a tipping point but the far left politics dominating the space is what finally got me to head out. Didn't enjoy competing enough to put up with all of that every other weekend. I also agree with it being a problem in society as a whole right now. Many things in media now have alienated me into finding new hobbies. Ironically healthier ones like reading, writing, art, cooking, chess, the gym and so on. More of an all-around hobbyist now.

That moment when Zero says his own signature Diddy Kong move!! 26:45, (also the ending was funny)

Big fan bro keep it up

ZeRo: I'll never lose to this person every again Ally has entered the chat

Damn ZeRo was GM in League? That's wild

Noticed you started referred to M2K as Jason, at least first time I'm noticing in a long time. Hopefully things are alright with you too

Zero is the arnold of smash

Let’s go Zero

It's not only the smash community. It's society in general...

That circle was a coach greg refference?
