He is currently ranked 2nd for ''SSBM'' on the [[Danish Power Rankings]]. He is also the main tournament organizer for {{Trn|Valhalla}}, Denmark's major European Smash tournament series.


King Funk started out with ''Brawl'' in Portugal in 2008, where he co-founded the competitive scene with {{Sm|Flayl}} and hosted the country's first few tournaments. In 2010, he moved to Denmark for his studies and quickly transitioned from ''Brawl'' to ''Melee'' as most players in Scandinavia favored the latter as their game of choice. Julius was also for a long time one of Europe's best ''[[SSB64]]'' players until he quit the game in late 2012 to focus on other fighting games.

==Trivia==
* In ''[[Super Smash Bros.|Smash 64]]'', King Funk was infamous for his creative and seemingly "random" use of the [[Falcon Dive]], which he would generally use as an effective tool to punish [[shielding]] (in particular on platforms) as well as for [[tech-chasing]] purposes. While King Funk was in Japan in the summer of 2012, he demonstrated his uses of the Falcon Dive, which [http://smashboards.com/threads/social-thread-talk-about-anything-you-are-allowed-to-talk-about.216422/page-603#post-15751967 Japanese players would later affectionately name after him].
