Jason Zimmerman (born February 5, 1989), known by his gamertag Mew2King, shortened as M2K, is an American professional electronic sports player. He is considered one of the best ''Super Smash Bros.'' players of all time. He has won over 70 tournaments during his career and after Ken Hoang, he has won the second most prize money playing ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. In ''Melee'' Mew2King primarily plays Sheik, Marth, and Fox. In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', Mew2King mains Meta Knight; however in MK-Banned tournaments, he plays King Dedede or Falco. In ''Project M'', Mew2King plays his namesake character Mewtwo as well as Fox and Mario. In Super Smash Bros. 64, Mew2King is a Kirby specialist. In ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', Mew2King's mains are Donkey Kong and Mario. Mew2King's extremely methodical style of play has earned him the nickname The Robot.〔 He is currently considered one of the "Gods" of ''Melee'' competition along with MaNg0, PPMD, Armada, and Hungrybox. Mew2King is known to play ''Melee'' using the "claw" grip on his controller. ==Gaming career== Mew2King started competing in tournaments in 2005 at the age of 16. Kashan "Chillindude" Khan described M2K as having little natural aptitude for the game, becoming good solely through practicing a lot. During 2006, Mew2King went from being relatively unknown to being one of the best players in the game.〔 In 2004 he spent over 2,000 hours with help from SuperDoodleMan collecting data about various attacks and movements in ''Melee''.〔 In 2007 he only managed to place 9th at EVO World 2007. Zimmerman was considered the best ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'' player from 20082009.〔 From 20102014, his tournament placing declined and he began losing to improving newer players. Zimmerman and Wyatt "ADHD" Beekman, were banned by Major League Gaming from competing in MLG Dallas 2010, after the two had allegedly conspired to manipulate brackets at ''Brawl'' event at MLG DC 2010.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pro-Smashers-Banned-from-Dallas-Event-Following-Conduct-Violations-in-D.C. )〕 The ban came after ADHD had stated that he paid Mew2King 300 to lose the loser's bracket final, a violation of MLG rules. MLG dropped ''Brawl'' from their pro circuit at the end of 2010. For most of 2013, M2K had not won a major tournament all year until he went on a winning streak where he won virtually all of his singles matches, including against Mango, whom he had not beaten for several years. In 2014 Mew2King lost to aMSa in winners quarters and Armada in losers finals at Kings of Cali 4. Mew2King finished 2nd to Mango at Big House 4 in Romulus, Michigan. After a complex leveling game, Juan "Hungrybox" Debiedma defeated Zimmerman at Paragon Orlando 2015. From 2007 to 2014 Mew2King was member of Empire Arcadia (EMP), a company that has also sponsored e-sports players such as Justin Wong. He left the organization after having issues with back payment from the organization. Zimmerman alleges that since 2009 EMP president Isaiah “Triforce” Johnson has owed him "5k total more/less" and has lent Johnson more than 1,000.〔 From 2011 to 2014 Mew2King was sponsored by CLASH Tournaments (CT). From 2012 to 2014 Mew2King was signed with Vancouver-based Play-For-Keeps, an online e-sports betting service. Mew2King has supported Pastime Gaming and Most Valuable Gaming since late 2014, and started working as a business manager for the latter. By late 2014 to early 2015, Mew2King began focusing his time on ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' and online streaming and plans on playing fewer online tournaments due to hand problems. His tournament placings have also declined, placing tied for 9th at Apex 2015. Because of this, Leffen predicts that Mew2King has a chance of falling out of the "God" level designation of ''Melee'' players. In April 2015 he became a member of esports team COGnitive Gaming.〔''Challenger Approaching''〕 Around June 2015, Mew2king suffered a hand injury and missed CEO 2015 and EVO 2015. He did however attend Super Smash Con in August 2015 where he placed 2nd after losing to Leffen. On August 31 he defeated Leffen in the grand finals of PAX Prime 2015, thereby ending the streak of Swedish players winning national tournaments. At Paragon Los Angeles 2015, Mew2King placed second, losing to Mango in Grand Finals.〔http://www.ssbwiki.com/Paragon_Los_Angeles_2015〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jason Zimmerman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
