'''Coastward''' is a Canadian ''[[Melee]]'' and ''[[Project M]]'' [[Ganondorf]] main from Ontario, Canada, who is sponsored by FAKKU!. Prior to this sponsorship, he was a member of [[Even Matchup Gaming]], a Toronto crew. He is otherwise known for his unfortunate [http://gfycat.com/OpenZestyIbizanhound fist bump denial] during [[McSmashter 4]], which was caught on stream.

==FAKKU! sponsorship==
Coastward, as part of a joke with his friends, decided to excessively tweet and message FAKKU!, a hentai site, to sponsor him. Unexpectedly, [https://twitter.com/FAKKU/status/590674958227021824 FAKKU! later sponsored him] after his persistence made an impact. They noted in a later tweet, "Your hard work and dedication shows us what it means to be a real man," and it became confirmed that he had officially been sponsored and would be given merchandise as well as other gratuities. This was seen as a controversy in both the [[Reddit]] and [[Smashboards]] communities. Many smashers and non-smashers had issues with the sponsorship, seeing that smash is targeted at all ages and FAKKU! was not deemed appropriate for younger players. Due to the e-sports mentality of the smash community, this was seen as a step back from gaining any further Nintendo sponsorship or involvement in the competitive smash scene.

The [http://smashboards.com/threads/interview-with-coastward-on-his-recent-sponsorship.400435/ Smashboards interview on his sponsorship] was edited by {{sm|AlphaZealot}}, the head of Smashboards, to remove links to the aforementioned website/twitter. The Reddit post about the sponsorship was originally deleted as rule 7A prohibits NSFW (Not Safe for Work) content but was later permitted. These posts also attracted a lot of attention and led to other smashers to further look for sponsorships that were not as suited for kids, such as {{sm|Lucky}}'s attempt (albeit unsuccessful) to be sponsored by Stone Brewing. Despite {{sm|Bizzarro Flame}}'s sponsorship by the adult film site YouPorn, Bizzarro's actions were not influenced by those of Coastward's.
