| ==Trivia==
| |
| *RFang was voted into {{Trn|Smash Ultimate Summit 2}} in the first round of voting. Despite accusations that he was a "meme pick" (which resulted in the nickname of "Roach Fang" from {{Sm|Leffen}} due to his friend eating a roach), he managed to break top 8 at {{Trn|The Big House 9}} the following weekend, defeating {{Sm|Pandarian}}, {{Sm|Light|p=Connecticut}}, {{Sm|Trela}}, and {{Sm|WaDi}} on road to a 7th place finish.<ref>{{Trn|The Big House 9}}</ref>
| |
| **His impressive placement at The Big House 9 led Leffen to make a tweet officially declaring RFang not to be a "meme pick".<ref>https://twitter.com/TSM_Leffen/status/1180932739865993222?s=20</ref>
| |
| *RFang's dedication to physical fitness and knowledge of engineering has been held in high standard by numerous people within the ''Smash'' community.
