K9bruce's goal is to become the king of Smash and will often shout "I will be the king of Smash" after winning a set.
However, he later stated that he no longer has the ambition to be the "king of Smash", although he promises to still play his best. [4]
K9sbruce is infamous for his frequent outbursts whenever he loses (or wins) a match or the entire set. He got this from another smasher by the name of KiraFlax (Notable examples can be seen here ).
One of his most notable moments has been turned into a GIF and has become a recurring representation of salt in the community.
However, he has expressed his intention to stop reacting so angrily to losses, and his outbursts have been far less intense and frequent since then.
He is the brother of SS , a top Villager and Ness player.
