Trivia[edit]
- Blur is frequently made fun of for losing a streamed tournament set to Mooninite's Kirby at The Next Episode, a topic that comes up relatively often due to Blur being a familiar face within Melee's tournament scene and Kirby's status as one of Melee's worst characters. This would be further propagated when he lost a tournament set to Cereal Rabbit's Kirby one year later.
- Blur is the focus of a running gag propagated by Nickelodeon All-Stars Brawl developer Thaddeus Crews, in which it is alleged that Blur had failed to reupload Smash @ Xanadu's Project M vods after GimR removed the game from the tournament series.[4][5]
