You do you. Put yourself and your life first. Don't listen to anyone that gets salty about this. Many of us will stay and support you as long as you let us :)
I wish you the best, ZeRo. Stay safe. If you can find the fire, the passion you had in the early Smash 4 competitive scene, you will succeed in your new goals. Thank you for everything you've accomplished for Smash 4.
Sweepin Dreamin Of course. I was wishing him good luck in his choice, his new objectives. I also want him to find success in something other than Smash 4.
Happy travels zero. You deserve a long break from being in the competitive scene for the sake of your health and how far you came as a competitive smash player. can't wait to see what you'll do next once you return
zero, i want you to know we all love you and will give you support. plus, maybe you'll be able to get back to youtube as well. Congrats for being the king of smash 4 that you will be remembered by.
thats a little too far. i like the guy but i wouldn't say i love the guy. i just hope this isn't like a (liquid) ken thing where he leaves and comes back and just does alright. smash is not gonna wait up for him and the meta will only evolve more and more. tho i do wonder how smash will change without him. man... this sucks.
That’s what everyone said when ken left melee back in the day, but there really wasn’t a difference. One king left and three more fought to take the spot. I could see that happening in smash 4 too. New stories and sht to be written.
I’m not crying, you’re crying. Nah fuck that, IM LITERALLY CRYING. ZeRo, you’ve been one of the biggest inspirations in my life. There has not been a single tournament where I have cheered against you, regardless of who you played or who you played against. I’ve always wanted to be as successful as you have, since I started playing smash it has been my ultimate goal to beat you in a set one day. You’ve inspired me to keep playing, and even in your absence I will. Sure I love ZeRo, but from all the twitch streams, RUclips videos, twitter, you name it, I’ve learned to love Gonzalo Barrios. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me and everything you have done for the community. I am always going to support you and your decisions. Team ZeRo forever.
Yep we both have big dreams and ZeRo is the reason we are confident to fulfill them he jas taught us many lessons that we shall cherish #TeamZeRoForever
Inaphyt idk if ur joking but if you aren’t you’re insane doesn’t matter if you like it or not you can’t deny its significance and it’s impact on the smash scene
I love you ZeRo. I bet I can't express myself better than other people in the comment section, but despite that and the really low chance of you seeing this, I will speak my mind. I love you dude. You've been my inspiration to play Smash. You were the first Smash related RUclipsr (or any fighting game for that matter) I subscribed to. This was early 2015, before I discovered you had won Apex. I just subscribed to you because your personality was great, your videos with Nairo and M2K were hilarious, and you gave good advice on improving at Smash. I didn't even know you were a pro. You just seemed like a good player who knew his stuff. So since that time, I have been subscriber and a big fan. I've always rooted for you, even at the times Leo was using MK against you and doing well. You've been a big inspiration to me in both real life matters, and in getting better at the game. Your impact on me cannot be stated enough or expressed into words. I just want to say thank you ZeRo for being my hero. I hope you find happiness and success in whatever you do in this next chapter of your life. And I will always support you no matter what you decide to do.
Now you can get into competitive Xenoblade Chronicles 2 speedrunning. Jokes aside, you are an awesome guy. I can't wait to see how life takes you along.
This is like an anime. Zero being the character who sacrificed everything to be the best. And now for the last episode, once he has accomplished his goal, retiring, moving to a new chapter to further grow as person and fulfilling his new goals. He will always remember the adventures he had with all the community of SSB4, but at the same time moving forward, freeing himself up from the chains long holding him back from further living. This isnt the end, its a legend to be left solved but not unfinished. He's ready to move to a new step in this staircase we call life, and use this experience he gained during these beautiful years to keep moving forward. Thanks for the awesome years in Smash and sharing your success and happiness with us, best of luck Zero and hopefully you succeed with your new goals. :)
This was personally inspirational to me because I can relate to it a lot. I hate that one trick pony feeling too ZeRo. Smash takes up a lot of my time but deep down I know there are other things I would love to try, like art or writing stories. I even stopped robotics for a while to improve at smash, but seeing you being able to break out of your most successful passion for a while inspires me to do the same. I've been a fan since I was 14(now 16). I don't want to ramble too long so I'll just finish off here lol. Thank you Zero, for giving me something and someone to watch when ever I felt like I wasn't good enough at smash. Anyway, you have my support and best of luck to all your future endeavors! Until next time, peace out ZeRo!✌😁
I wondered if this would happen one day. Maybe that's why I've always rooted for you, because I've always thought that it must be hard to be the best. You constantly proved yourself to be the best time and time again, and I was never disappointed in you. Fear is a powerful force. More powerful than many people give it credit for. Doubt is only one shape of it. Fame is a heavy burden to carry, and eventually, everyone must step back from it. Farewell, brave champion. I look forward to your return.
Wow... Zero you're truly amazing, you're kinda the main reason I was only inspired to play smash 4 since you talked about how to find your main in that one video back then. I wish you the best of luck man, stay positive and don't give up!!!
I feel like that underlies the problem on our side. We can support what he does, and how far he's come, but I think we as a community need to understand that ZeRo will not come back to smash 4. With that in mind, we won't eventually find ourselves egging him on to make a comeback. Let's just try to be as respectful as possible on this decision.
Matwry - Yeah, when the next smash title drops. And I have a feeling that once he gets into the swing of whatever life he's planned for himself now, he'll realize that the reason he said that he "might come back" was only a part of his neverending routine to keep coming back to a game he doesn't enjoy. He said that he has some surprises in the future, and I believe him, but right now, I'm skeptical.
I fully respect your decision and will be supporting you by watching and donating when I can. Thanks for sharing this message. We got your back. Sometimes you need to follow your heart!
Sad seeing you leave the Smash tournament scene.. Although you weren't always the nr 1 player I cheered for, you are responsible for many of my favorite matches and favorite moments in Smash 4. I really hope you someday return to the smash bros scene(sooner, rather than later). But I can understand why you are saying enough, and moving away, and trying something different. Thanks for all the good moments, and I wish you all the best in the future
You're the reason I got into competitive Smash. You were an untouchable god that inspired me and thousands of others. You may be leaving for now, but your influence on us will never leave. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors and hope to see you happy.
Thanks for everything man!You solely bought me into competitive gaming and smash and I’m very thankful to you for that. You’re simply the GOAT and u will be remembered in esports history. You have many goals outside of smash and I know you will achieve them, because your not afraid to tackle new challenges.You really motivate me man and I know that this year I will definitely tackle new challenges because of you. Thanks for everything man!!!
Congratulations to PG| MVD for becoming the #1 Diddy of 2018. Jokes aside. You were the reason why I got into not only comparative smash, but fighting games in general. Thank you for your many amazing smash performances and hopes for your return whenever the new smash is out. Best of luck.
Wow, I just gotta say you are an inspiration. I only fairly recently started following you and competitive Smash, and the more I saw of you, the more respect I had for you. Your character videos also helped me a great deal (especially the Yoshi and Lucina ones, my two mains). Kudos to you man for making this video and choosing to embark on this new path for yourself. Godspeed, and here's to a incredible 2018!
Thank you for everything ZeRo. You really have inspired so much to be good at smash. Good luck and never give up what you have to do in life. And I’m glad I met you at EVO (sorta)
Hey, zero, Let me tell you something. There was once a man that wanted to be the richest man in the world. He worked his butt off, and eventually bought an oil company, and succeeded. But once he had won, he wasn't happy anymore. But he wasn't willing to let go of what he had built. He became eventually depressed. After a few months, he started going to therapy. He told his therapist he didn't want to work in his oil company anymore. His therapist word him want he did want to do. He thought on this question, and one day it came to him: he wanted to own a restraunt. He sold his company, his vacation home, and his mansion, and moved to the suburbs of ohio, where he opened an all American diner. He wasn't rich, he wasn't famus, but you know what? He was happy. And to him, that was all that mattered. Zero, you do what makes you happy, And never stop for anything. LONG LIVE KING ZERO! Let him be a staple in our minds, whenever we think of Super Smash Brothers.
TheMakeshiftHero it's a metaphor about happiness and not willing to give up something you built. It's not supposed to be realistic. But your right. I should've thought that through... Lol.
We love you zero. While we might not be able to fully understand your pain since very few people can actually compare to you compared to the rest of the people in the world, we will stand with your decision. When you are feeling pain or sorrow, though it might be tough, just release a video and tell us. We will always support your decisions and we will try to help you. Good Luck for the rest of your life ZeRo, no matter what happens we will be behind you. We love you ZeRo. Xenosaiyan.
P.S. I think you might like just bringing a friend or three onto the channel and just play Yugioh, or you don't have to record it at all. I've recently have gotten into these games such as Yu-Gi-Oh, Magic, Hearthstone and more, and since I know you like Yu-Gi-Oh, I think you should just grab some actual cards (or if you are a peon like me, just proxy it) and play.
average joe I think this situation is the other way around lol. Zero was the one practice one kick 10,000 times (with smash) and now he’s trying 10,000 different kicks, and experiencing new things
Although I've always wanted to face you head to head, I can't help but smile at this video.I guess it's time for me to show the world what I'm made of, even as a lowly Roy main! We all support you, man! You have encouraged all of us to play and be the best we can, no matter what! ZeRo will be a name that we, the Smash community, will remember as long as the series lives! Yours, DipKitsune, inspired by ZeRo, just like many others.
I've always had a suspicion that top players are burned out. I'm so happy that you put yourself out of your comfort zone and didn't limit yourself to playing a video game until your reflexes slow down. I hope you get your bag
This is a new year ZeRo. We will all support you in all your decisions. I’ve always cheered for you when ever you played and your always gonna be a legend. Your always be the best man. Good luck and hopefully we can see you come back and see your awesome pop offs and wins. Good luck man in whatever you decide to do, you’ll succeed!
Here is a man who has completed his journey to be the very best, like no one ever was. He who has held the title of his dreams now embarks on a new jourey to discover himself and this time with more friends, fans and love that anyone can fathom. Good luck ZeRo, we wish you the bast, and we support you to the end. You made your choice to make yourself happy, and that makes it right
I'm just going by reading the title.. Even though you are at a halt, we all still support you no matter what. If you truly felt that way, then we will,or atleast I, will fully go with that decision. You will be the best no matter what and we are happy for what you have done and wish you the best for the future to come.
I agree with everything you said however don't feel bad about being 22 and unsure of yourself. You are still very young and in your early stages of life. You're lucky to be so young and in control of your destiny. Some people find this out about themselves way later in their lives and that's truly a frightening revelation. Best of luck with your future endeavors, you have a whole life ahead of you so make the most of it!
I’ve been going through the same situation just in a different way so I know how you feel.. You seem like a very intelligent person and this will be a big step to further your growth. Best of luck 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Diego Corral that video is not sad it's just a decision, doing a decision is better than just chilling and let the time flow. But I'm not saying that you're not allowed to chill xD
First Franku and now ZeRo? Dis tew much. But in all seriousness, you absolutely deserve this and actually made me look at my own life and choices and what I want to do with my life. Something that i for sure needed. Thank you ZeRo, for everything. Cant wait for whatever content you decide to put out and all the new things you decide to do with your life.
changing how you hold controllers helps a lot with keeping hands sound, takes a really long time to break the instincts that get developed into how you play & make you do unnecessary things when you push yourself as far as you can go though
This is why I'm such a big fan of yours. You're so honest with yourself and you're so humble and modest. One the coolest guys I know. Good luck with whatever life gives you.
“I believe I will be able to empower myself and build myself from the ground in other areas I could never even dream of” Well said. You have definitely made your mark so far, and I think it’s great that you want to become a better person overall, as well as proving to yourself that you are more capable than what you think you are. That’s really great, I wish you the best!!
this was painfull to watch. I was always a good fan of yours, since the brawl times, I can't go to tournaments, I live in Europe, and I feel really sad seeing this. I really hope you can achieve your goals, and you can do what you want to do. The fact you remained at the top from the beginning is really amazing, and I hope to see you again, maybe on youtube, maybe on twitch, maybe to comentate some local in chicago. I wish you the best for 2018.
Hey Zero, You're such an awesome example, and it's very clear to see how genuine you are in your videos. You have always been a really positive influence in my life, and I'll always appreciate that. I hope you always continue to do what you feel is best for you man. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING
omg ZeRo, your dedication is just unparalleled. I've learned a lot from seeing the way you, someone just about my age, give all you have to accomplish what you've set for yourself. You never stopped being an inspiration, even after I stopped caring about competing in smash, and it doesn't seem like you will, even after you stopped competing as well. Anyways, good luck on learning that third language! I'm doing just the same.
Clicked as soon as I saw the video. If you want to take a break, maybe even retire, that's fine, ZeRo. Try new things, discover who you are, be what you want to be. You inspired me to play this game, and that's something I could never let go of my thankfulness within. You're not only the number one smash 4 player, your also my number one player. You're my favorite smash player among all the rest, and you continuously kept me going to learn and play this game on a new level. Wether what else you do is still gaming, or whatever else, I'm here to support you. You're a great person and have accomplished something that few have ever even made it close to: being the best. Do what you need to do. Discover who you are. I want you to be happy, and the fact that you haven't been with this has truly upset me. The fire that is your passion to become number one has truly made the meta game. You were a major component of this game's evolution and ability to become something anew. As a major fan of you as a backstory, a personality, a player, and a person, I want the best for you. Achieve your goals, please.
Man... I feel sort of bad, but I'm happy that you want to move on and find a new goal in life. You were my whole inspiration to compete in smash, and that's something that have bring so much to my life, in some way I want to thank you for being someone so important in the scene and the kind of sportsman I'd like to be, I hope you find that fire ZeRo, and again, thanks a lot ¡¡¡UN ABRAZO MUY GRANDE DESDE VENEZUELA GONZALO, GRANDE!!!
ZeRo!!!!!! 😢 watching tournaments wont be the same anymore. Hope u find ur happiness u are trying to find. We will be with you through whatever u want to do.
Zero, I just want you to know that no matter what happens, you'll always be number 1 for me. Because you were my inspiration to even start trying to play competitively and while I'm still not too good at it it's still been an awesome experience to live. So with that I hope you get what you are looking for and that you succeed in whatever it is you desire to you. Happy 2018!!!
Definitly a good desicion :) others get destroyed first and then hate everything about their time with games. U can keep these memories as a motivation to keep going, a reminder that anything is possible.
ZeRo was the first players that got me into the smash scene. At the time I didn't know he was #1 in the world. I've always cheered ZeRo on even when I wanted the other player to win. I hope you find that fire back because without you, smash 4 wouldn't be the same. But take your time, we want you to be 100% back. ZeRo will forever be the one and only god of Smash 4.
Really good for you, man. We've met briefly (at Smash Con 2017). Wish you all the best in accomplishing your goals! You've definitely got the focus to accomplish anything. Time to just shift it to other goals for now!
You've done great work ZeRo. All respect to you who accomplished your dream and goal. Take a well deserved rest and focus on yourself and other experiences in life. I hope to see more of you in the future!

ZeRo i love you zero
Good Luck in the Future we'll miss you!
You do you. Put yourself and your life first. Don't listen to anyone that gets salty about this. Many of us will stay and support you as long as you let us :)
ZeRo just take this year off man you work too hard
So long first Smash4 God, we`ll wait for your return.
Good luck, let's stream together moving forwards imo
That would be nice
goodbye smash 4 stream?
lol m2k
yes
ZeRo x Yayson is back?
That would be the most optimal thing to do.
All the people that care about you support you man! Take as long as you need!
GimR's Lab or maybe “come back if you want to”. This may not be what he wants to do anymore. The fgc may not be his life after this
Well this didn’t age well
@@TriiiL0RD no it did age well
I wish you the best, ZeRo. Stay safe. If you can find the fire, the passion you had in the early Smash 4 competitive scene, you will succeed in your new goals.
Thank you for everything you've accomplished for Smash 4.
Sweepin Dreamin Of course. I was wishing him good luck in his choice, his new objectives. I also want him to find success in something other than Smash 4.
Johnny Casteel can you give a reason?
Same here!

Crazy!
ZeRo this is just the start of your success. The fact that you were able to make this decision shows how strong you are. You got this man.
Erebus ayy
(:
This aged so well. He earned it.
This didn't age well
@@anishthairani955 guess it didn’t. Odd to think about how my perspective of this man has changed so vehemently in only two years.
Happy travels zero. You deserve a long break from being in the competitive scene for the sake of your health and how far you came as a competitive smash player. can't wait to see what you'll do next once you return
zero, i want you to know we all love you and will give you support. plus, maybe you'll be able to get back to youtube as well. Congrats for being the king of smash 4 that you will be remembered by.
FALCON X FALCON'S BIGGEST FAN that is a nice username
thats a little too far. i like the guy but i wouldn't say i love the guy. i just hope this isn't like a (liquid) ken thing where he leaves and comes back and just does alright. smash is not gonna wait up for him and the meta will only evolve more and more. tho i do wonder how smash will change without him. man... this sucks.
FALCON X FALCON'S BIGGEST FAN make more videos pls, I like them
Even if Mk Leo becomes the #1 sm4sh player in the world, ZeRo will be better. Because 0 comes before 1.
That's inspirational xD
Thats some deep sh*t man😢
👏👏👏
weeell if u wanna get technical 0 isnt a number at all its nothing

Teun ikr
Teun Yeah, now they can win xD
Erza Scarlet yea but the becoming #1 will feel kinda shallow. Like theres no substance because ZeRo will be absent
IKR
That’s what everyone said when ken left melee back in the day, but there really wasn’t a difference. One king left and three more fought to take the spot. I could see that happening in smash 4 too. New stories and sht to be written.
I’m not crying, you’re crying.
Nah fuck that, IM LITERALLY CRYING.

I'm the same way
Wonderfully said.
Yep we both have big dreams and ZeRo is the reason we are confident to fulfill them he jas taught us many lessons that we shall cherish #TeamZeRoForever
Can’t agree more.

Lol couple years from now we’ll see this video in the smash 4 documentary
I was going to comment the same thing
Like when it showed how Ken quit
Trevor Champagne Look it up dude, because it exists

Inaphyt idk if ur joking but if you aren’t you’re insane doesn’t matter if you like it or not you can’t deny its significance and it’s impact on the smash scene

I love you ZeRo. I bet I can't express myself better than other people in the comment section, but despite that and the really low chance of you seeing this, I will speak my mind.

Herodreamer Nice words
And thus began the Post-ZeRo era... good luck on life ZeRo.
Now you can get into competitive Xenoblade Chronicles 2 speedrunning.
Jokes aside, you are an awesome guy. I can't wait to see how life takes you along.
I want to tell dad to get dark souls for the switch and I will tell him its like Zelda. He plays Zelda a lot, so it might work.
ben/Bv44 will work soon......
I would totally watch ZeRo stream XC2.

Sigh... Joke's on me for never looking up streams.
Who left his bowl of onions out? 😭

Matt Zwieger pathetic cringe comment
LOL I was thinking the same way ZeRo Anime AF
please stop
Could...could we get an anime about the history of Smash 4?
Just asking. I'd watch it.
Ew
This was personally inspirational to me because I can relate to it a lot. I hate that one trick pony feeling too ZeRo.

Until next time, peace out ZeRo!✌😁

Smash 4 loses it's final boss...
BK umm no it was fine b4 u corrected it
Nairo is now the final boss of Sm4sh
BK there is literally nothing wrong with the spelling
It actually should have been its because it’s is the abbreviation of it is.
No, the final boss won.
Congrats on being the GOAT again! Support you all the way, you’ve definitely proven yourself and more!
And when the world needed him most...he vanished
trust me, they REALLY don't need him right now; being 2nd best for a lifetime is not quite alright!!
spray ferdays lol
spray ferdays Mien Gott an Avatar reference xd
6 months later smash players found a new top player a Marth player called Mk Leo
Well this didn’t age well
I wondered if this would happen one day. Maybe that's why I've always rooted for you, because I've always thought that it must be hard to be the best. You constantly proved yourself to be the best time and time again, and I was never disappointed in you.
Fear is a powerful force. More powerful than many people give it credit for. Doubt is only one shape of it.
Fame is a heavy burden to carry, and eventually, everyone must step back from it.
Farewell, brave champion. I look forward to your return.
ZeRo is going to be Armada.
Retires, finds his passion once again, bests the world. Good luck!
Triforce Of Hyrule but who's gonna be the leffen of Chile?
Kif Kif thats something that only we, the chileans, know
the chillineans*
Kif Kif chilleandude vs Laffin (I'm sorry)
Now it’s up to Nairo to take down those filthy bayonetta mains
fuck leo
lol
Dont forget ally
Aki :Aielt lmao what do you have against Leo? That guy's skill is godsend. He may potentially be the next best.
Triple D Don't forget the fact he can't beat Nairo's bowser for shits sake
i honestly wanna hug zero
(Comes back and mains Pac Man)
(Still gets first place every tournament)
Y'all weird
(Gives middle finger to Esam)
Wow... Zero you're truly amazing, you're kinda the main reason I was only inspired to play smash 4 since you talked about how to find your main in that one video back then. I wish you the best of luck man, stay positive and don't give up!!!
It's your decision so we have to respect that, I will waiting for you to return !
*¡Grande ZeRo!* ojala vuelvas pronto :)
It’s ok Zero but just remember that the Smash Community always has your back
We don’t care if u stop we will support you
I feel like that underlies the problem on our side. We can support what he does, and how far he's come, but I think we as a community need to understand that ZeRo will not come back to smash 4. With that in mind, we won't eventually find ourselves egging him on to make a comeback. Let's just try to be as respectful as possible on this decision.
He literally said he planned on eventually coming back to tournament play.
Matwry - Yeah, when the next smash title drops. And I have a feeling that once he gets into the swing of whatever life he's planned for himself now, he'll realize that the reason he said that he "might come back" was only a part of his neverending routine to keep coming back to a game he doesn't enjoy. He said that he has some surprises in the future, and I believe him, but right now, I'm skeptical.
I fully respect your decision and will be supporting you by watching and donating when I can. Thanks for sharing this message. We got your back. Sometimes you need to follow your heart!
The only God of Smash 4.
bolt no ally is another he beats zero most of the time and wins a lot
id say zero, ally, and nairo, but no one else
MkLeo, Elegant?
zero was definitely the true god of sm4sh. nowadays we have salem, nairo, mkleo, tweek, and dabuz.
@Gamemaster472 oof yeah i meant sm4sh not melee
whoops
2018 is a new year
A new zero
You do what you feel is best
If this doesn’t give you happiness then find something that does 👍

Actually 2018 feels like a real new start for me. I want to say the world, but that doesn't seem like something I can say
Sad seeing you leave the Smash tournament scene.. Although you weren't always the nr 1 player I cheered for, you are responsible for many of my favorite matches and favorite moments in Smash 4. I really hope you someday return to the smash bros scene(sooner, rather than later). But I can understand why you are saying enough, and moving away, and trying something different.
Thanks for all the good moments, and I wish you all the best in the future
MrTuri93 he was always nr1 by the end of the season
Try reading that again! ;) What I meant was I didn't always cheer for him to win. :)
MrTuri93 oh whoops sorry!
Hehe, no problem dude :)
You're the reason I got into competitive Smash. You were an untouchable god that inspired me and thousands of others. You may be leaving for now, but your influence on us will never leave. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors and hope to see you happy.
What If the new smash game gets announced tommorrow?

LOL
Ayyeeee
You're such an inspiration, man. You're a legend. I'm sure you will have great success in whatever it is you do next.
You do you man, your content is more entertaining when you actually do what you want either way man.
Your Xenoblade review was really good so I wouldn't mind seeing more of those.
Plz. SOO much better than a lot of Professional reviews.
He is a goat he has nothing to prove
Thanks for everything man!You solely bought me into competitive gaming and smash and I’m very thankful to you for that. You’re simply the GOAT and u will be remembered in esports history. You have many goals outside of smash and I know you will achieve them, because your not afraid to tackle new challenges.You really motivate me man and I know that this year I will definitely tackle new challenges because of you. Thanks for everything man!!!
Congratulations to PG| MVD for becoming the #1 Diddy of 2018.
Jokes aside. You were the reason why I got into not only comparative smash, but fighting games in general. Thank you for your many amazing smash performances and hopes for your return whenever the new smash is out. Best of luck.

Lots of respect dude. Take your time.
We'll always support you :3
This is the long break Zero talked about to learn Bidou.
Still support you tho man
Wow, I just gotta say you are an inspiration. I only fairly recently started following you and competitive Smash, and the more I saw of you, the more respect I had for you. Your character videos also helped me a great deal (especially the Yoshi and Lucina ones, my two mains). Kudos to you man for making this video and choosing to embark on this new path for yourself. Godspeed, and here's to a incredible 2018!
Thank you for everything ZeRo. You really have inspired so much to be good at smash. Good luck and never give up what you have to do in life. And I’m glad I met you at EVO (sorta)
Hey, zero, Let me tell you something. There was once a man that wanted to be the richest man in the world. He worked his butt off, and eventually bought an oil company, and succeeded. But once he had won, he wasn't happy anymore. But he wasn't willing to let go of what he had built. He became eventually depressed. After a few months, he started going to therapy. He told his therapist he didn't want to work in his oil company anymore. His therapist word him want he did want to do. He thought on this question, and one day it came to him: he wanted to own a restraunt. He sold his company, his vacation home, and his mansion, and moved to the suburbs of ohio, where he opened an all American diner. He wasn't rich, he wasn't famus, but you know what? He was happy. And to him, that was all that mattered. Zero, you do what makes you happy, And never stop for anything. LONG LIVE KING ZERO! Let him be a staple in our minds, whenever we think of Super Smash Brothers.
Its about happiness
TheMakeshiftHero it's a metaphor about happiness and not willing to give up something you built. It's not supposed to be realistic. But your right. I should've thought that through... Lol.
We love you zero. While we might not be able to fully understand your pain since very few people can actually compare to you compared to the rest of the people in the world, we will stand with your decision. When you are feeling pain or sorrow, though it might be tough, just release a video and tell us. We will always support your decisions and we will try to help you.
Good Luck for the rest of your life ZeRo, no matter what happens we will be behind you.
We love you ZeRo.

P.S. I think you might like just bringing a friend or three onto the channel and just play Yugioh, or you don't have to record it at all. I've recently have gotten into these games such as Yu-Gi-Oh, Magic, Hearthstone and more, and since I know you like Yu-Gi-Oh, I think you should just grab some actual cards (or if you are a peon like me, just proxy it) and play.
I fear not the man who practiced 10,000 kicks once, but the man who practiced one kick 10,000 times - Bruce Lee
average joe I think this situation is the other way around lol. Zero was the one practice one kick 10,000 times (with smash) and now he’s trying 10,000 different kicks, and experiencing new things
Although I've always wanted to face you head to head, I can't help but smile at this video.I guess it's time for me to show the world what I'm made of, even as a lowly Roy main! We all support you, man! You have encouraged all of us to play and be the best we can, no matter what! ZeRo will be a name that we, the Smash community, will remember as long as the series lives!
Yours, DipKitsune, inspired by ZeRo, just like many others.
Which Roy?
I've always had a suspicion that top players are burned out. I'm so happy that you put yourself out of your comfort zone and didn't limit yourself to playing a video game until your reflexes slow down. I hope you get your bag
I'm glad you made a decision as hard as this one, I hope you can grow as a person in this time away from tourneys, good luck ZERO!
Rip Zairo😭😭😭
This is a new year ZeRo. We will all support you in all your decisions. I’ve always cheered for you when ever you played and your always gonna be a legend. Your always be the best man. Good luck and hopefully we can see you come back and see your awesome pop offs and wins. Good luck man in whatever you decide to do, you’ll succeed!
Here is a man who has completed his journey to be the very best, like no one ever was. He who has held the title of his dreams now embarks on a new jourey to discover himself and this time with more friends, fans and love that anyone can fathom. Good luck ZeRo, we wish you the bast, and we support you to the end.
You made your choice to make yourself happy, and that makes it right
more friends??
M8, he's already the President
Best of luck moving forward ZeRo :)
I'm just going by reading the title.. Even though you are at a halt, we all still support you no matter what. If you truly felt that way, then we will,or atleast I, will fully go with that decision. You will be the best no matter what and we are happy for what you have done and wish you the best for the future to come.
I agree with everything you said however don't feel bad about being 22 and unsure of yourself. You are still very young and in your early stages of life. You're lucky to be so young and in control of your destiny. Some people find this out about themselves way later in their lives and that's truly a frightening revelation.
Best of luck with your future endeavors, you have a whole life ahead of you so make the most of it!

Cant wait for smash 4 duluxe with funky new mode featuring dante from the devil may cry series & knuckles
I’ve been going through the same situation just in a different way so I know how you feel.. You seem like a very intelligent person and this will be a big step to further your growth. Best of luck 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Zero, you forgot to make the fake sigh in the beginning of the vid like how every other sad video commences.
Diego Corral that video is not sad it's just a decision, doing a decision is better than just chilling and let the time flow.
But I'm not saying that you're not allowed to chill xD
ZeRo outplayed the sad video cliche.
TheBrandino999 yeah dude I think he planned this for ages.
Bobby fan?
I respect this decision and I’m happy for you! Hopefully everything goes well in the future!
I for see a lot of 4Zero tags in the future.
The GOAT of SSB4
First Franku and now ZeRo? Dis tew much.
But in all seriousness, you absolutely deserve this and actually made me look at my own life and choices and what I want to do with my life. Something that i for sure needed. Thank you ZeRo, for everything. Cant wait for whatever content you decide to put out and all the new things you decide to do with your life.
Rise of the bayos begins
Not bayos. Rise of Leo.
Well, Leo DID get 4th on the PGR...

Go mkleo
glad to be the 100th like on this comment LMAO
You chase your dreams, ZeRo. We're all gonna be behind you to support you no matter what.

Damn that sucks. First PP now zero
Well nothing lasts forever. How much longer do you think M2K's hands can last?
XCorazónX pp is on hiatus tho
Pp wants to return tho. Zero not so much now
Paul Ford m2k doesn't complain as much about his hands as he used to fortunately
changing how you hold controllers helps a lot with keeping hands sound, takes a really long time to break the instincts that get developed into how you play & make you do unnecessary things when you push yourself as far as you can go though
We all need a break sometimes ZeRo! Were here to support on anything you do! Goodluck!
This is why I'm such a big fan of yours. You're so honest with yourself and you're so humble and modest. One the coolest guys I know. Good luck with whatever life gives you.
“I believe I will be able to empower myself and build myself from the ground in other areas I could never even dream of”
Well said. You have definitely made your mark so far, and I think it’s great that you want to become a better person overall, as well as proving to yourself that you are more capable than what you think you are. That’s really great, I wish you the best!!
Smash 4 without Zero? It feels wrong but it's good to know you'll come back
@ZeRo Good luck
this was painfull to watch. I was always a good fan of yours, since the brawl times, I can't go to tournaments, I live in Europe, and I feel really sad seeing this. I really hope you can achieve your goals, and you can do what you want to do. The fact you remained at the top from the beginning is really amazing, and I hope to see you again, maybe on youtube, maybe on twitch, maybe to comentate some local in chicago. I wish you the best for 2018.
Hey Zero,
You're such an awesome example, and it's very clear to see how genuine you are in your videos. You have always been a really positive influence in my life, and I'll always appreciate that. I hope you always continue to do what you feel is best for you man.
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING
Good luck on moving forward!
You've always been an inspiration to me the way you consistently stay on top.
Best wishes man.😊
This news got me hella sad smh
Can I please cry?
Diego Olea We needed permission for that? Oops
Comeback when you can, old friend. We'll be waiting
omg ZeRo, your dedication is just unparalleled. I've learned a lot from seeing the way you, someone just about my age, give all you have to accomplish what you've set for yourself. You never stopped being an inspiration, even after I stopped caring about competing in smash, and it doesn't seem like you will, even after you stopped competing as well. Anyways, good luck on learning that third language! I'm doing just the same.
Very well said and heartfelt. Thank you for your contribution to the scene, and best of luck in your new endeavors.
Zero dont worry we all support you its your life its your decisions dont let anyone or anything get in your way we all support you in what your doing
Clicked as soon as I saw the video. If you want to take a break, maybe even retire, that's fine, ZeRo.
Try new things, discover who you are, be what you want to be.
You inspired me to play this game, and that's something I could never let go of my thankfulness within. You're not only the number one smash 4 player, your also my number one player. You're my favorite smash player among all the rest, and you continuously kept me going to learn and play this game on a new level.
Wether what else you do is still gaming, or whatever else, I'm here to support you.
You're a great person and have accomplished something that few have ever even made it close to: being the best.
Do what you need to do. Discover who you are. I want you to be happy, and the fact that you haven't been with this has truly upset me.
The fire that is your passion to become number one has truly made the meta game. You were a major component of this game's evolution and ability to become something anew.
As a major fan of you as a backstory, a personality, a player, and a person, I want the best for you. Achieve your goals, please.
Man... I feel sort of bad, but I'm happy that you want to move on and find a new goal in life. You were my whole inspiration to compete in smash, and that's something that have bring so much to my life, in some way I want to thank you for being someone so important in the scene and the kind of sportsman I'd like to be, I hope you find that fire ZeRo, and again, thanks a lot
¡¡¡UN ABRAZO MUY GRANDE DESDE VENEZUELA GONZALO, GRANDE!!!
ZeRo!!!!!! 😢 watching tournaments wont be the same anymore. Hope u find ur happiness u are trying to find. We will be with you through whatever u want to do.
You will forever go down as legend of smash Bros and esports alike
We love you ZeRo. No matter what you do we'll always love you.
I am somehow happy with this news instead of being sad that one of my favorite smash players is leaving.
You go Zero
You know we will buy any book you write ZeRo!
Zero, I just want you to know that no matter what happens, you'll always be number 1 for me. Because you were my inspiration to even start trying to play competitively and while I'm still not too good at it it's still been an awesome experience to live. So with that I hope you get what you are looking for and that you succeed in whatever it is you desire to you. Happy 2018!!!
Such an phenomenal career, what a legend! Good luck on your next chapter of your life and thanks for the inspiration you’ve givin us throughout!
Definitly a good desicion :) others get destroyed first and then hate everything about their time with games. U can keep these memories as a motivation to keep going, a reminder that anything is possible.
Cloudu JustRight (:
Oh ZeRo...you'll find yourself soon. Even if you don't compete, you'll still be a Smash 4 God. Good luck and keep on enjoying life!
ZeRo was the first players that got me into the smash scene. At the time I didn't know he was #1 in the world. I've always cheered ZeRo on even when I wanted the other player to win. I hope you find that fire back because without you, smash 4 wouldn't be the same. But take your time, we want you to be 100% back. ZeRo will forever be the one and only god of Smash 4.
Really good for you, man. We've met briefly (at Smash Con 2017). Wish you all the best in accomplishing your goals! You've definitely got the focus to accomplish anything. Time to just shift it to other goals for now!
You've done great work ZeRo. All respect to you who accomplished your dream and goal. Take a well deserved rest and focus on yourself and other experiences in life. I hope to see more of you in the future!
