Trivia
- D1's reaction to Mega Man using his Final Smash during the Super Smash Bros. Invitational (which referenced the intro to the Mega Man cartoon) has become famous throughout the Smash fanbase. This event was included on Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. Invitational Highlights
- D1 was featured on the now-removed Road to EVO: Nintendo Minute along with Nairo and VoiD.
- D1 had a catchphrase: "Destruction"; when commentating, he often shouted this when an extraordinary play occurred.
- Following a heinous allegation in the previous year, D1 released a statement clearing the air with regard to the claims made against him. He has yet to confirm whether or not he is interested in returning to Smash, but with the evidence he provided in his recent statement he was able to bring to light many things that people weren't aware of, allowing people to realize that there are multiple sides to a story. Regardless of what future he decides to take, he is focused on path to self improvement and growth moving forward.
