He holds the distinction of being seeded last in pools even though his record reflects otherwise. He is currently considered the fifth best Toon Link player in the world behind CodyKnight, also known as {{Sm|Quest}}, a New England Smasher. (Contrary to Quest's most recent tag change, he claims to be a Toon Link main).
