Jason Sheldon Zimmerman[1] (born February 5, 1989), known by his gamertag Mew2King, commonly shortened to M2K, is an American former professional Super Smash Bros. player from Cinnaminson, New Jersey.[2] He has won more than 70 tournaments during his career, primarily in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Zimmerman is one of the "Five Gods" of Melee, along with Juan "Hungrybox" Debiedma, Adam "Armada" Lindgren, Kevin "PPMD" Nanney, and Joseph "Mang0" Marquez and is also widely considered one of the greatest Super Smash Bros. Brawl players of all time.[3][4] He has also competed at a top-level in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Project M.

In Melee, Zimmerman primarily plays Marth, Sheik, 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 the original Super Smash Bros. game. In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Zimmerman's primary character is Cloud. Zimmerman is known for his extremely methodical and logical style of play, as well as his detailed knowledge of frame data in Melee, earning him the nickname The Robot.[5] 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 overall Smash Bros. player of all time.[6] A 2021 list compiled by PGstats ranked Zimmerman as the fifth-greatest Melee player of all time.[7] From May 2016 to January 2020, he was a member of the professional esports organization Echo Fox.[8]
