About
Jason Mew2King Zimmerman is a professional Super Smash Bros. competitor, known for his wide tournament play success across all installments of Super Smash Bros., from Smash 64 to Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. He’s also a public figurehead of the competitive Smash scene, being known by both casual and competitive players alike for his tournament play and success, contributions to the Super Smash Bros. Melee metagame, and personality both on and offline.
Online History
Mew2King’s online history started from humble beginnings of being a member on Smashboards, an online message board dedicated entirely to the discussion of Super Smash Bros. Mew2King is often credited for diving into the frame data of Super Smash Bros. Melee and posting the information online in a database[1] that could be publicly accessed. This act often credits Mew2King as the first lab monster, a player that meticulously learns and discovers inner workings of a game, in competitive Smash history. Despite being known as one of the most successful tournament players in general competitive Smash, Mew2King was described by some to have little natural talent at the game itself, with only a basic understanding of the game itself, and not the metagame that encompassed it. In the span of less than a year in 2005-2006, Mew2King went from a low level player to one of the top 8 players in the United States. After Ken “SephirothKen” Hoang, the best player in the world at the time, retired from the game, Mew2King rose to the top as the best player in the world, holding this streak dominantly in the year 2007, before Joseph “Mango” Marquez usurped the spot from him.
Mew2King was also an early pioneer for the competitive metagame for Super Smash Bros. Brawl, having been the number one player in both Melee and Brawl in the year 2008. Despite having played the game for more than a decade, with many players having come and gone, Mew2King still remains as one of the top 6 players in Super Smash Bros. Melee, being called one of “The Gods of Melee” for their tournament dominance in an era spanning from 2008 to 2015. Mew2King is also a top player in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, able to hold his own against the likes of Gonzalo “ZeRo” Barrios and Nairoby “Nairo” Quezada, who are two of the best players in the world for the aforementioned game.
Personality
Mew2King is diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome, causing him to lack in judging social cues, and often has a very straightforward and blunt way of speaking. Combine this with his frame data collection and consistency with his combo game, Mew2King is often called “The Robot.” Despite showing very little remorse in his style of play, Mew2King is very inviting and accepting of people, often helping those who are new with the competitive scene get acquainted. Mew2King is also known for his antics on social media and real life, leading to quotes that purposefully get misconstrued or awkward/hilarious moments when interacting with other players, often being described with the phrase “lol m2k.”
Mew2King’s antics have also been popular with the facebook group Melee Hell, often having OCs and posts dedicated to him by the members of the group.
