| ==Trivia== | | ==Trivia== |
| *DarkStalker is known to often play in bracket cosplayed as Terry. | | *During the {{Trn|SWT: Europe Ultimate Online Qualifier}}, Darkstalker was disqualified as his opponent believed the connection was too laggy. Later this day, he made a statement that "The French are so free, the majority of your region wouldn't even take a game off of me and that's a fact". A few months later, he then defeated France's best player: {{Sm|Glutonny}} |
| *Following his disqualification from the {{Trn|SWT: Europe Ultimate Online Qualifier}} due to lag, DarkStalker made a Tweet stating that no French player could ever defeat him because they were "so free."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/LDarkstalker/status/1380873309101903873?t=D8wPctzzuQOnMtGmeS6YWQ&s=19|title=DarkStalker's Tweet}}</ref> This Tweet has since resurfaced a couple of times, such as after DarkStalker's victory over an inebriated {{Sm|Glutonny}} sandbagging as {{SSBU|Ganondorf}} during [https://start.gg/tournament/dat-monday-meltdown-199/event/singles/brackets/1017967/1603003 DAT Monday Meltdown 199]<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/LDarkstalker/status/1452784298013216776|title=DarkStalker's second Tweet}}</ref>, and after DarkStalker defeated {{Sm|Oryon}} to win the UK vs France crew battle at {{Trn|BOSS BATTLES: For Glory}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/VGBootCamp/status/1520463242933542912|title=UK crew battle Tweet}}</ref>
| | |
| *Despite the tournament being region-locked to North America, DarkStalker competed in The Coinbox #25 under the tag "Ω Rugal02". He was eventually exposed before his set with {{Sm|Sonix}} after mentioning how beating Sonix "will be an honour", leading Sonix to believe "Ω Rugal02" was from the UK due to the spelling of honor.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://clips.twitch.tv/DeterminedViscousCheeseCharlietheUnicorn-N7twIytrhpItRUqT|title=Sonix noticed the spelling of honor clip}}</ref> Sonix later requested a lag test, revealing the deception and leading {{Sm|Hungrybox}} to both disqualify DarkStalker from the event and deny DarkStalker's payout for placing 3rd.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://clips.twitch.tv/AgileVastGarageKeepo-rf7KBK7x9Jh6JeNJ|title=Hungrybox recognising that "Ω Rugal02" is from the UK}}</ref>
