==Trivia==
*Joshman was going to participate in {{Trn|Mogul Chessboxing Championship}} before breaking his right arm, which also prevented him from participating in {{Trn|The Big House 10}}. He would attend the {{Trn|Ludwig Smash Invitational}} despite his arm not fully healing, placing 9th.
**During his match against {{Sm|Lunar Dusk}}, he button-mashed with his broken arm to try and escape the {{SSBM|Ice Climbers}} grabs.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyXxH7Hf4v4&list=PLcMdMmtHkPpT9j6SlQ64KXqkAjqAnrBY9&index=101</ref>
