Nero Asamiya

Anthony "Nero Asamiya" Ortiz is a fighting games competitor and a self-proclaimed Psycho Soldier from Arizona, United States. Anthony's nickname is a combination of "Brother Nero", a nickname used by professional wrestler Jeff Hardy and Athena Asamiya, a character from the SNK's Psycho Soldier series.

Anthony's interest in fighting games began when he was spectating DirectTV's Dead or Alive 4 tournament and a particular player caught his attention. That player from Vanessa Arteaga, one of the most dominant DoA4 players. Her impressive performance at the tournament inspired Anthony to try the game for himself and it got him hooked.

Later on, he has gotten into the competitive scene thanks to DragonNinjaRyu's DoA5 tournament. At the time Anthony worked in a video games store and would occasionally host his own tournaments, in particular for SSB4 and Tekken Tag Tournament 2. It is through these tournaments that he met KawaiiFaceMiles, who became his mentor alongside Umbrawitch. With their help, Anthony became a better player and started to compete in Tekken 7, gaining rivals such as Torch and Nazzadan along the way.

Some of the highlights in Nero Asamiya's career include Electric Cancel 3v3 tournament where he single-handedly defeated an entire team. Great matches against Nazzadan and Stunderpants at ShineTyme Series and the showdown with Shaundude at Legacy 6. He also had notable matches against players like Psylence, Weapon X, and WayGamble.
