Hungrybox was one of the 16 players who participated in the [[Super Smash Bros. Invitational]], placing 2nd with {{SSB4|Kirby}}. At the tournament's end, he challenged [[Nintendo]] of America President and COO [[Reggie Fils-Aimé]] to a "for glory" match after he had teased possible future Nintendo-sponsored tournaments.

Fils-Aimé declined, admitting that he "sucks at Smash", but that his "opportunity was coming with {{for3ds}}." He concluded his response by saying he would "come back next time and kick Hungrybox's ass," to the amusement of the audience. One year later, Fils-Aimé and Hungrybox made a special appearance in the 2015 Nintendo World Championships, and played the promised for glory match, Hungrybox using Jigglypuff, and Fils-Aimé using {{SSB4|Ryu}}. Hungrybox took the win by a very large margin. | ||
Hungrybox had also participated in several ''[[Ultimate]]'' tournaments playing {{SSBU|Jigglypuff}}.
