PC Chris attended [[Apex 2015]], where he nearly made bracket, placing 49th of 1,037 competitors. In it, he placed 2nd in his 1st round pool, losing only to {{Sm|Fuzzyness}}, a top level European smasher. In 2nd round pools, he defeated {{Sm|Velocity}} and {{Sm|ROFL}}, and had a close set with {{Sm|Kalamazhu}}, zero to death-ing him in the opening of Game 1 and bringing the set to last stock on Game 3. He was eventually defeated, but received a huge cheer from the crowd on his exit. He later fought Ken in the Salty Suite, where he lost the first game as Fox, but switched to Falco starting with game 2. The match went to Game 5 last stock, but PC Chris won it out 3-2 with a JV2 last game. He then proceeded to surf the crowd as celebration.

After Apex 2015, PC Chris made a few more appearances at tournaments, placing 13th at [[MVG Sandstorm]]. Around this time, he expressed interest in streaming on [[Twitch]]. He received significant support from the community, particularly from {{Sm|Chillin}}, who led a donation drive that aimed to raise around $1,000 so that PC Chris could obtain a better setup for streaming. However, due to unknown circumstances, PC Chris could not follow up on his promises to stream and fell out of the community once again.

[[File:Pcchrislasvegas.jpg|thumb|300px|PC Chris after winning the MLG 2006 championship.]]
* PC Chris received the 4th biggest prize check in a ''Melee'' tournament ever, $10,000 for 1st place at [[MLG Las Vegas 2006]]. Only Armada and Hungrybox have surpassed this milestone, earning $11,525.15 for 1st place at [[Smash Summit]] and $11,214 for 1st place at [[EVO 2015]] for the former and earning $13,000 for 1st place at [[Battle of the Five Gods]] for the latter.
* PC Chris received what was, at the time, the biggest prize payout in a ''Melee'' tournament ever, when he won $10,000 for 1st place at [[MLG Las Vegas 2006]]. This record stood for nine years, until Armada earned $11,525.15 for 1st place at [[Smash Summit]] in 2015.  
* He was the subject of a parodying [http://www.smash-bros.nl/pcchris/index.html website], in which he was declared the greatest person in the world.
