Fighter Summary:
Zeratul came to SSS around the end of Season 1, as Lugia, a legendary Pokemon. Initially hired as an HTML assistant SP, he soon took over by default many of the website's critical functions, despite the protests of those whose jobs he seemed to be taking over. (Most notably Pat, as Lugia had taken over most of the site's pic-making needs) Later when VGW left the stadium, Lugia (now Zeratul) would be installed by Jay Resop as the president of SSS, on a simply first-come, first-serve basis.

Even before he took power at SSS, Zer was a bit of a control freak. On several occasions his stubbornness and refusal to change his position stalled up the progress of the Stadium. In one particular instance, as the SPs were preparing to introduce Geno to the fighter ranks, a color was to be chosen for him; either Navy or Aqua. In an early vote the SPs agreed on the color Navy, and the introduction match was written as such. Zer was given the match to turn to HTML. However, when the match was uploaded to the web, it was discovered that, without consulting or informing anyone, Zer had changed Geno's color in every instance to Aqua. When questioned, Zer admitted what he had done and refused to change it. Pat went in and edited the match several times to repair the change, but Zer consistently changed it again and again. Eventually VGW , not wanting chaos to erupt, gave into Zer and allowed the color to be Aqua

This trend continued after he was put in charge of the stadium. After VGW left, Jay Resop intervened and announced that the first volunteer would be the one to take control of SSS. Zer volunteered and was given the power, and wasted no time before canning more than half of the Superpowers, most of whom had tried to work against him. (These consisted of Lord Reid, Canadian Yosheh, Goshi, Pat and others) In fact he fired every other superpower but Game Guru, and he hired the new Flip and Swordblade. Although this staff was eager and energetic, there was one tragic flaw in the mix; the president was nowhere to be found.

As his pattern of control-freak behavior should have hinted at, Zer took absolute control of SSS. He allowed no updates to occur without his review and his approval. All storyline and matches were subject to editing and interpretation by him. On the Message Board, Zer made him self the sole admin, which meant no other Superpower had the ability to delete posts or ban unruly members. Under VGW, all of these regulations would not have been so much of an issue; but Zer was almost never around to do any of the duties he delegated to himself. Sometimes he wouldn't show up more than once a month. SMBHQ's constant server crashes at this time didn't help matters.

So it was in this way that the website grew into a state of disrepair; pictures and links ceased functioning, entire pages of content were lost (The whole SSS 101 section was removed altogether, at the behest of Zer.). The few original Superpowers remaining at the site, such as Pat and Lemmy, continually tried to point out to Jay Resop that he had made a huge mistake in appointing Zer as President; but Jay refused to intervene again. In time, Pat was the only original Superpower remaining; all was not lost, however. Game Guru , Zer's right-hand man, and Flip , were both beginning to share Pat's view on the cause of all of the inactivity.

When Zer appeared one last time out of the blue and left a note on the Message Board saying he would not appear again for some time, and then vanished never to be heard from again, that was the last straw. In a surprising uproar of protest, the fans revolted, and Jay Resop had no choice but to can him. Pat was offered the presidential position, but deferred it to Game Guru. He is still trying to fix the mess Zer left behind.

Nothing has been heard from Zer since his final disappearance. We wish him luck in his future endeavors, if he indeed has any.

Zeratul's Moves:

STANDARD SPECIAL Moves

Warp Blade

A quick hit that can connect up to three times. It's rather weak, but it has double function: linking for combos and shot reflection.
UP SPECIAL Moves

Seiryuu Death Fist

A powerful move. Zeratul jumps high and then falls down on his opponents, with a blast radius wider than DK's Down Special move. However, given its power and radius, it can't knock off, and it takes a few seconds for Zeratul to recover.
SIDE SPECIAL Moves

Cloak

As every Dark Templar, Zeratul can cloak. While cloaked, Zeratul can't get physically hit (not even physical Special moves). However, Zeratul can't perform other Special moves while cloaking, and he takes more damage from energy attacks (ex he'd take 8% damage from a blaster shot rather than 5%)
DOWN SPECIAL Moves

Force Change

Similar to Zelda/Sheik's move, Zeratul can change into his Light Side/Good counterpart, Zero.

Omegaflare Zero's Moves:

STANDARD SPECIAL Moves

Z-saber

A move that can hit up to three times, this variation trades speed for longer range and strength than Zeratul's Warp Blade. It also varies in the fact that this one doesn't reflect shots, it just stops them.
UP SPECIAL Moves

Thunder Sword/Ryuenjin

Depending on the move used, the effect varies. In both cases, Zero jumps up. With thunder sword, Zero leaves a stream of thunder as he elevates, and opponents can crash into it and take damage. With Ryuenjin, any opponents touched by the attack are burned (as with the Fire Flower)
SIDE SPECIAL Moves

Soul Body

Zero sends a copy of himself that can take/deal up to 20% damage. Zero must wait 10 seconds in order to use the soul body again, and Zero is ot invulnerable while this move is working.
DOWN SPECIAL Moves

Force Change

Turns into his "dark" side, Zeratul.
