==Trivia==
*At [[Smash the Record]], Gahtzu nearly set the Guinness World Record for "Longest Video Games Marathon Playing a Fighting Game" at 72 hours, which would've beaten the former record of 48 hours. Unfortunately, a video error that occurred during his session delegitimized his entire attempt, despite the amount of witnesses that were present.
*At {{Sm|Hungrybox}}'s [[Don't Take My Stock 3]], Gahtzu beat {{Sm|Darkrain}} 5-0 in a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuCoMz0ADdk Captain Falcon ditto money match].
*Gahtzu's username is a reference to [http://berserk.wikia.com/wiki/Guts Guts] from the Berserk series, as Guts' name is pronounced "Gattsu" in Japanese.
*Along with {{Sm|Wizzrobe}} and {{Sm|Gravy}}, Gahtzu is a member of 20GX, a movement to reinvent and push the limits of {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}} as a character.
*Gahtzu won two consecutive $100 money matches against premier Captain Falcon player {{Sm|S2J}} at [[CEO 2015]].
*Although Gahtzu is proficient in the Falcon ditto, he lost to {{Sm|Lord}} at [[GENESIS 3]] including a four stock in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGxWlS74RIo game one].
