One of the world’s top Smash players, Zain Naghmi, surprised crowds at a Smash Bros Melee tournament when he decided to replace the expected victory speech with a short beatboxing performance.
Zain, widely considered to be the best Marth player in the world, took to the stage after winning the Fête 3: By the Sea: Melee tournament held in the UK, which saw him net over 3000 dollars in prize winnings.
But the crowds weren’t expecting the Moist Moguls player to break into a beatboxing routine that left the host speechless and the viewers screaming in applause.
