Thunderz also plays {{SSBM|Donkey Kong}} in ''Melee'' and placed 5th and 3rd, in singles and doubles respectively, at Norcal's fourth iteration of the Arcadian.


On January 7th, 2018, he announced his partial retirement from ''Project M'' noting his frustration with constantly being called out for losing with secondary characters as a large factor.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/groups/norcalpm/permalink/1827893850555737/|title=ThundeRzReiGN announcing his partial retirement on the NorCal Project M group.}}</ref> Initially, he continued to participate in locals but was no longer willing to go to major tournaments or be qualified for any future PMRank. However, despite his initial claims of not entering future majors, he ended up attending and winning {{Trn|The Even Bigger Balc}}, the largest ''Project M'' tournament of all time. He announced at the beginning of 2019 that he would return to entering majors regularly for the rest of the year.
