=== | ==Trivia== | ||
* In ''[[SSB64]]'', King Funk was infamous for his creative and seemingly "random" use of [[Falcon Dive]], which he would generally use as an effective tool to punish [[shielding]] (in particular on platforms) as well as for [[tech-chasing]] purposes. While King Funk was in Japan in the summer of 2012, he demonstrated his uses for [[Falcon Dive]] which [http://smashboards.com/threads/social-thread-talk-about-anything-you-are-allowed-to-talk-about.216422/page-603#post-15751967 Japanese players would later affectionately name after him]. | |||
* In ''[[ | * King Funk is fluent in 5 languages : French, English, Danish, German & Portuguese. | ||
* King Funk currently also plays Dragon Ball FighterZ and Tekken 7. In the past he played and competed in Street Fighter V, Guilty Gear Xrd Rev2, Ultra Street Fighter IV, Street Fighter X Tekken and Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. | |||
