Jason Sheldon Zimmerman (born February 5, 1989), known by his gamertag Mew2King, shortened as M2K, is an American professional Super Smash Bros. player. He has won more than 70 tournaments during his career, primarily in Super Smash Bros. Melee. He is one of the "Five Gods" of Melee, along with Juan "Hungrybox" Debiedma, Adam "Armada" Lindgren, Kevin "PPMD" Nanney, and Joseph "Mango" Marquez and is also one of the most accomplished Super Smash Bros. Brawl players ever. He is a skilled player of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Project M as well.
In Melee Mew2King primarily plays Sheik, Marth, and Fox, while he plays Meta Knight in Brawl. He uses his namesake character Mewtwo, as well as Fox and Mario, in Project M and specializes as Kirby in Super Smash Bros. 64. In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Mew2King's main is Cloud. Mew2King's extremely methodical style of play, as well as his knowledge of frame data in Melee, has earned him the nickname The Robot. He is known to play Melee using a claw-like grip on his controller. For his skill across every Smash Bros game, he is regarded by some as the greatest smasher of all time.
Mew2King began 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 managed to place 9th at EVO World 2007. Zimmerman was considered the best Melee and Brawl player from 2008–2009. From 2010–2014, 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. The ban came after ADHD had stated that he paid Mew2King US$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.
