'''Junebug''' is a smasher from Centreville, Virginia who was widely considered to be the best {{PM|Diddy Kong}} player in ''[[Project M]]'' from 2014-2016 and is still considered one of the best {{PM|Diddy Kong}} players in ''Project M'' (along with {{Sm|BaconPancakes}} and {{Sm|Luck}}), and is considered to be the best {{PM|Ganondorf}} player in ''Project M''. He also used to play {{SSBB|Lucario}} in ''[[Brawl]]'' and was once considered the best before the rise of {{Sm|Trela}}, having defeated several top players including {{Sm|DEHF}} and {{Sm|Mew2King}}. More recently, Junebug has showed greater interest in ''[[Melee]]'' and is a strong {{SSBM|Sheik}} player having taken sets off top players such as {{sm|Colbol}}, {{Sm|Zain}}, {{Sm|lloD}}, {{sm|Syrox}}, and has taken a game off {{sm|Leffen}}. Junebug was formerly ranked 2nd on the [[MD/VA Power Rankings|MD/VA Melee Power Rankings]], 4th on the MD/VA Project M Power Rankings, 6th on the MD/VA Brawl Power Rankings, 17th on the MD/VA Smash 4 Power Rankings, 34th on the [[PMRank 2018]], 45th on the [[2018 MPGR]], and 76th on the [[2014 SSBBRank]]. | '''Junebug''' is a smasher from Centreville, Virginia who was widely considered to be the best {{PM|Diddy Kong}} player in ''[[Project M]]'' from 2014-2016 and is still considered one of the best {{PM|Diddy Kong}} players in ''Project M'' (along with {{Sm|BaconPancakes}} and {{Sm|Luck}}), and is considered to be the best {{PM|Ganondorf}} player in ''Project M''.

Junebug is currently considered to be one of the best ''Project M'' players of all time and was generally considered to be the best throughout 2015 for his dominant and consistent record. However, after {{Trn|Olympus}}, Junebug decided to go on a hiatus from ''Project M''. While he still plays the game, he has not returned to competing regularly. In late 2019, Junebug seemed to retire from competing in both ''Melee'' and ''Project M''. However, with renewed community interest from Project+, he seems to be taking the game seriously again. | Junebug is currently considered to be one of the best ''Project M'' players of all time and was generally considered to be the best throughout 2015 for his dominant and consistent record.

Junebug is also notably proficient at analyzing the game. Having succeeded in multiple Smash games for over a decade, he has a unique perspective when it comes to Smash and competition. He has coached notable ''Melee'' professional {{Sm|Zain}} to success. | Junebug is also notably proficient at analyzing the game.
