So You Want to Know Szas's Actual Height
Most of the info out there says something like 6'0" or maybe 6'1", and everyone just repeats it because it looks good on a profile page or roster. I ran into this myself a while back when someone asked me to verify Szas for a tournament bracket. The listed height didn't match what I remembered seeing in person, so I started digging. His real height is closer to 5'9" or 5'10" depending on who's measuring and how. Shoes, hair, posture, the time of day — all of that shifts the number by half an inch to an inch easily. When he's standing next to people whose heights are actually verified, the gap becomes obvious. It's not a huge deal, but it's enough that you can't just trust the published figure. Here's what actually worked for me when I was trying to pin this down: I found unedited video footage from an event where he was standing beside another competitor who had a confirmed, official height listed. I paused the frame, compared the eye level and top-of-head position, and used the known height as a reference. That process put him solidly in the 5'9" range, maybe touching 5'10" if he was really stretching his spine that day. It took about twenty minutes of careful frame analysis. Not exactly rocket science, but it's more reliable than reading a wiki.
The problem with height verification like this is that most public figures have inflated numbers attached to them across every platform. Social media bios, gaming rosters, press kits — they all copy from each other without checking sources. So you end up with a number that's been repeated hundreds of times and nobody ever actually validates it. I've seen this happen repeatedly. Once I tried confirming someone's height for a sponsorship document and the "official" source linked back to their own website. That's not a source. That's a claim. If you're doing this for yourself and want to check someone's actual height, here's the practical approach. Look for side-by-side photos or videos from events where multiple people are standing flat-footed on the same surface. Avoid angled shots or photos where one person is on a stage or platform. Use someone with a verified height as your baseline. Measure the pixel difference between the top of their heads and apply the ratio to real-world inches. It's rough but usually lands within half an inch, which is about as good as you're going to get without access to actual measurement records. I should mention the limitations. This method doesn't work well if the person is known for wearing lift inserts or platform shoes regularly. It also falls apart with photos where perspective distortion is heavy — wide-angle lenses and low shooting angles can add or subtract an apparent inch or two. And frankly, unless you have access to medical or official documents, you're always going to be estimating. There's no magic tool that resolves this with full certainty. The best you can do is triangulate from multiple sources and acknowledge the margin of error.
For what it's worth, I've found that the community around Szas tends to defend the higher number pretty aggressively, which is usually a red flag. When a number is accurate, people don't get defensive about it. The pushback itself suggests the real number doesn't hold up to scrutiny. That's just my observation though. The video comparison method gave me enough confidence to call it at 5'9" to 5'10", and I haven't found anything since that changed my mind. If you need a definitive answer for official purposes, the only real workaround is contacting the organization that manages his profile or representing team directly and requesting the documented height on file. Sometimes they'll share it, sometimes they won't. You can also look for draft combine measurements or sports physicals if he's involved in competitive gaming or athletics where those exist. Those tend to be the most accurate publicly available records.
