@@captaincaveman8532 Yeah but where Melee wasn't really taken seriously and you could tell people were just shitting around, things didn't get toxic until Smash 4 came around. I certainly saw more Smash 4 players being toxic to Melee players than Melee players wanting Melee back.

@Rodrigo Villa it's a quote from OPM

[@xXCursedWorgenXx]

that's what it does. being at the top always place the spotlight on yourself in every aspect of life. be it a politician, a pro gamer, or even in your work place. There will be a lot of people that will funnel their hate toward someone they can tag it on, even if the person at the top isn't even responsible for it. just an example: hockey team: worst position to be: #1 goalie. because then, every losses becomes the goalkeeper's fault because he didn't stop the puck enough. thing is: it's a team effort. if the defence doesn't do its job, if the goalie's vision is obstructed, how do you want him to stop everything? if the offense doesn't score and fight to keep the puck in the other teams zone, same thing. all the fans hatred heads for either the goalie, or the head coach.

Great Reaper 12371 well there isn't much of a way to Deny the losses but he is great for taking it like a champ

[@vizzy6473]

Hey ZeRo, I'd just like to say that back in the smash 4 days I was also one of those people that hated you winning, hated you, and just didn't like watching you play just because I felt like you were a player that took the game down. Seeing you lose lit me up with joy, and I don't think I've ever been so wrong about something in my life before. Honestly, you're a great, chill person. I love your content, and I love that you've been having fun with your job instead of trudging yourself through a competitive scene with toxic people such as how I was back then. I never directly said anything to you, but I would often go to school and rant about how much I hated ZeRo and that "hooo boy woo hoo zero won another tournament, when is this game gonna get interesting again." And I want to say sorry for all of that, sorry for indirectly being the cause for your anxiety, depression, and loss of fun with Smash.

[@goldengoodra2941]

I was similar in many ways. A lot of the most toxic stuff you see online is from teenagers who don't really think much of the effects of what they're saying. Like, "there's no way ZeRo's gonna actually see this." But other people will, and it just adds to the snowball effect. If ZeRo never came forward with all these videos, I wonder if I'd still be thinking the same way. At the end of the day, now that in the present moment, people like us have reformed and know what we did was wrong, I'd say everything is alright.

@@Sgobbotinou74 it's definitely close between the 2 and I also would give it to Nairo's run considering how much stronger the players AND the character pool was that he went through. ZeRo's run is legendary and nobody can take that from him. Nairo did however use not the best character in the game(ZeRo used sheik at TBH5) and beat multiple top 10 players with access to Bayo, Cloud, Sheik, and Diddy. It's not bias to say nairo had it harder. ZeRo overcame a mental battle which is a feat in itself.

You’re undeniably the best player for that game, and You proved so much despite how much was against you on your way up.

Thanks for the inspiration and pushing the smash scene to grow.

[@peacefulsnoman3787]

Nobody: Zero: *Makes one mistake at 10%* Bayonetta: im about to end this man's whole career

[@atari_hmb]

She technically did

[@ryans.1900]

ZeRo is just an all-around good guy. Love your content, man

[@broganokeefe5807]

You say this like you’re a bad player, you were the absolute BEST for 4 years, you’re a legend

[@Cobyba]

I honestly think you're probably the best smash player of all time. You've got such a great attitude and it's really contagious. Thanks for representing the community so well!

[@mrjohnful]

Dude, nice choice of music with this mario galaxy soundtrack...

[@pink953]

I think it was mainly the fact that you were such an incredibly dominant force in Smash 4 that people rooted against you. It truly felt like there was no one out there that could touch you, or get anywhere close to where you were at. I wont say that I rooted against you, but I just love seeing even matches instead of complete stomps. With your dominating performances time and time again, it was hard for people to not cheer for your opponents. Your consistency over the course of all those tournaments for such a long period of time was too amazing, and you'll always be in my memory as one of the all time best players hands down to have graced the scene. For people to send you those threats, and to give you shit for losing is unacceptable. I'm happy to see where you've come after all this time, and that you're in a much happier place without the weight of that streak on your shoulders.

[@TogekissCultLeader2788]

I love how in the last clip, everyone is freaking out, but at the end of the day, its just the usual unbalanced smash 4 bayonetta bull-shit

[@pinealbland5076]

Zero you're honestly such a G. You're attitude now and hearing you talk about your experience is dope. Keep on keeping on my dude.

[@gengarisnotinsmash...]

I mentioned this last video, but: Can you do a reaction to the most legendary sets in other fighting games? To start off with a lesser known game, Brawlhala had an epic game when Sandstorm faced Boomie in the MTN dew Amp Game Fuel grand finals. This could also give exposure to other great fighting games that don't get the credit they deserve.

[@TheEvanczonstka]

Hey props to you Zero. It takes a lot to go over the worst moments, not everyone can look back on the bad and stay positive.

[@mildlyconcerned213]

When it comes to competitive fighting games- unless Player Y actually did something horrible irl- you should be happy that Player X won, _not_ that Player Y lost. Removing biases from this argument, it's really stupid and pretty messed up because you're moving the spotlight from the person that should actually have it (the winner) onto somebody you don't like just so you can bash on them (the loser). Not to mention that it's also toxic considering the fact that you're purposefully going out of your way to hate on someone for losing a set thus- like what ZeRo said in the video- prolonging the L way more than it needs to be just for the sake sending death threats and hateful messages to them.

[@lukebranam-wenger1999]

I’ve always had so much respect for you as a competitor, through the win streak and the upsets. I never vocalized this respect through twitter or KZbin comments or anything, but I wanna point out that for all of the negativity that people expressed to you, I’m sure there were just as many if not more people who silently supported you and respected the hell out of you. Also, I’ve particularly been loving these reaction/commentary videos that you’ve been putting out lately. Keep on keeping on, ZeRo!

[@lorenzray3182]

Zero, I feel like this video could be a metaphor for everyday life and how one slip up, one mistake you make could be used to crucify you until seemingly no end. We as people forget humility and forget to put ourselves in other people's shoes and its such a sad truth that this happens. It's great to see you doing well and making dope content and still being involved in the Smash community, stay awesome dude 🤙.

[@elmuchos3309]

and thats why you are my favorite smash player, you can talk about all of this and in the end still smile, i don't care when you lose or when poeple hate you, no matter the outcome you are still you and i realy love that. keep it up zero

[@andymcclurg9916]

I'm still watching your videos. You are a genuine person and I hope you stay strong

[@AlsMusicRant]

Amazing self-reflection ZeRo. Takes guts to really look back at your low points and talk honestly about it, this is what separates you from other Smash content creators - you're willing to use your expertise and knowledge on yourself. Glad you're in a much better place now. Looking forward to whatever you've got planned.

[@pineapple3798]

Oof this must’ve took a lot of ego. But I’m glad you put it aside. You’re sick

[@MrLump]

Ok, you have my 100% respect for taking that game from Armada, I didn’t realize you were that good at melee

[@jeremiahgallegos7308]

I wanna meet Zero so bad 😭😭

It takes maturity to look back and laugh if you will, at such rough times for you. kuddos and respect for that.

[@ThatOneScienceGuy]

I learned so much from this. I didn't realize you used to play Melee. I didn't realize M2K was trying to get good at Smash 4. I didn't realize Salem was anybody at all except some guy M2K streams Ultimate with. This was a great video. You're very articulate.

[@TNinja0]

When you congratulated Nairo, you just showed everyone that you someone who deserved more respect than what you went through. Still, I would always root against you if you went Diddy Kong, just because I get super salty against Diddy players, lel.

[@RACETOTHEFINISH7]

If there’s anything I found when I was the president of my smash club at my university was that the toxicity of people and this game was immense. Kudos for aiming for first spot regardless and making it.

[@Dyojenes]

"Ha, Zero lost to Seagull Joe!" How about you beat 'em mate?

[@CodSplice]

I’m so glad to see you excited to make videos again. It’s feels good to watch an excited creator

[@ayn2786]

I'm starting to feel depressed watching this, IDK why people are always trying to put others down because they're the best, they don't understand the mental pain that their words inflict. I'm just happy that ZeRo can make money doing something he likes without being hated on, and have a community who loves him, and doesn't shame him.

[@benjaminbreedlove5658]

Just know that even though I wasn’t vocal about it and I never went to a tournament, I was always cheering you on from home.

[@bloodyfist1015]

This just got recommended to me and the title is very ironic to what just happened to his career 2 weeks ago

[@seivax_mkw6756]

True

[@Darkrep98]

I actually love the insight the video gives into how you felt as a player and as top player and how you felt as yourself not liking the surrounding effects of your losses. Then you take all of your losses and mistakes and even a little bit of your depression into, simple cool youtube video :)

[@BlitzzSolar]

Zero didn’t go over how fatality schooled him smh..

[@nlevel8045]

Yeah, I wonder if he ignores this intentionally, since i've seen a lot of people requesting him to react to it. It's not like we just want to see him lose, but it's kinda funny with all the trashtalk he did beforehand lol
