==Tournament history==
He uses {{SSB|Fox}} as a [[Alternate character|secondary]], but is talented with every character, as seen in his various combo videos and 12 character battles.
Prince is one of the oldest active ''Smash'' players.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180306183748/http://smash.captainjack.jp/entry/what-did-the-old-shcool-Japanese-Smash-64-community-look-like|title=What did the old school Japanese Smash 64 community look like?}}</ref> He previously mained {{SSB|Jigglypuff}} and competed in some of the earliest ''64'' tournaments, including {{Trn|Japan United Smash Festa Round-Robin 1}}, a round-robin tournament where he placed 8th out of 24 entrants.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161226052006/http://smash.captainjack.jp/entry/japan-united-smash-festa-round-robin-1|title="Japan United Smash Festa Round-Robin 1", the craziest Japanese Smash 64 tournament ever}}</ref>
 
He along with Japanese players {{sm|Wangera}}, {{sm|bonobono}}, and {{Sm|Kurabba}} were [https://funding.onlinessb.com/ funded] to participate in [[Super Smash Con 2016]]'s ''Smash 64'' tournament. Prince also entered and won the event's "Combo Tournament", placing over top ''Smash 64'' combo specialists such as {{sm|Dext3r}}, {{sm|Mariguas}}, {{sm|tacos}}, and {{sm|Alvin}}. He was personally listed by many Japanese players as someone they wanted to see once top player {{sm|Fukurou}} could not attend, showing his continued status in the community.
 
He was able to place 9th at Super Smash Con, with victories over {{Sm|Clubbadubba}}, {{Sm|Zero|p=Texas}} and {{Sm|Alvin}} and losses in the Yoshi ditto against {{Sm|Wizzrobe}} and {{Sm|Mariguas}}. Prince won the ''Smash 64'' combo contest a second year in a row at [[Super Smash Con 2017]] and placed 9th again, winning his rematch with {{Sm|Mariguas}}, but losing to {{Sm|Fukurou}} and, like previous year, against {{Sm|Wizzrobe}}.
 
A year later he played his third [[Super Smash Con|Super Smash Con 2018]] where he won the combo contest again and placed 9th again, losing to {{Sm|Zero|p=Texas}} and {{Sm|Dishier Wand}} in pools and {{Sm|sekirei}} and {{Sm|Isai}} after defeating {{Sm|Fireblaster}} and {{Sm|Robert}}.
