Trivia[edit]
- Mekk is known for his physical tenacity and satirical inability to stop. He will frequently exclaim "I ain't stoppin" on his stream, owns a real stop sign crossed over with an X, and does push-ups after losing a set in tournament.
- In December 2022, Mekk committed to maining Ganondorf for an entire year to boost the character's tournament representation/results.[4]
