'''KnucklesUp''' is a Canadian ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' {{SSBU|King K. Rool}} player who is considered the best King K. Rool player in the country. He is currently ranked 6th on the London Ontario Power Ranking and has wins over players such as {{Sm|tamim}}, {{Sm|Blacktwins13}}, {{Sm|MRW}}, and {{Sm|Slime|p=Canada}}.

On May 18th, 2020, KnucklesUp and {{Sm|MiLe}} were signed by {{Team|Polar Ace}}.<ref>https://twitter.com/PolarAceGG/status/1262170120639729664?s=20</ref>

He announced his retirement from serious competition in the game on April 19th, 2021, citing a shift in focus to ''Call of Duty''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1srlqe2|title=KnucklesUp's retirement}}</ref>

He has since returned to the scene but doesn't attend events as frequently.
