Tag Origin
- The first half of his tag, "Carls", is simply his real name, "Carlos", without the "o". The second half, the number "493", comes from the total number of Pokémon in the Pokémon franchise as of Generation IV. It also refers to the final Pokémon of that generation, Arceus, being the #493 on the National Pokédex, and Carls' naive belief at the time that the series would end on that generation due to Arceus being known as the "God" and creator of the Pokémon universe. Humorously, he realized this before the number could also be used to reference two-thirds of his birthdate (April 1993), which is why he has yet to update the number to accommodate further Pokémon generations.
Trivia
- Despite his top-most frequent mains throughout his Smash career, Carls493's #1 video game favorite franchise is Sonic the Hedgehog, being the very first franchise that got him into video games. He occasionally pays tribute to Sonic by making his own music that's meant to emulate the music that can be heard from most of the Sega Genesis entries of the series.
- Carls493's knowledge of video games covers more than just Nintendo's first- and second-party franchises. As of the arrival of the Hero and Banjo & Kazooie in Ultimate, Carls493 has had prior knowledge of every single third-party franchise in Smash that's represented by a playable character.
- Carls493 runs a YouTube channel that focuses on video games, including playlists for every official Smash game and several franchises that have been featured in Smash, as well as many other games of multiple genres and various content ratings from big-time publishers to smaller indie/doujin developers. He prefers a more traditional or "retro" YouTube Gaming approach to his running his channel by not relying on voiced commentary over his playthroughs and matches, not creating webcam discussion videos, and not advertising his face and over-the-top reactions on his videos' thumbnails. He instead simply prefers to focus purely on the gameplay, itself, with his thoughts on the games usually explained in their video descriptions, or adding text to the videos, themselves, in guides.
- Carls493 is an avid fan, writer, editor, and overall contributor of the semi-formal TV Tropes Wiki website. He documents a personal page there that lists his favorite and most-notable contributions to the site, as well as listing all of the games that he has featured, or will feature, on his YouTube channel.
- Carls493 was an active, competitive, but rather polarizing member of the now-defunct Nintendo Dojo (formally All is Brawl) since 2009. He was known for his helpful, and informative blogs on Smash, other games, and other forms of entertainment media (such as Anime and Western Animation), alongside his decent Fox skills in the website's online tournaments and ladder ranking system for competitive Brawl, which would eventually lead him into attending tournaments in-person and becoming one of the longest-active non-Melee players of his Columbus Smash community. However, in contrast, he has also been known at times to take a brash and highly-defensive stance on certain topics in Nintendo Dojo (particularly in regards to the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise's damaged reputation by that point in time), and frequently scolding against specific members for berating him over his video game preferences. All of this has made him an underdog fan-favorite from some members of Nintendo Dojo for his video game knowledge and persistent faithfulness to his interests, as well as a constant source of ridicule, mockery, and trolling from other members of the site for his deemed immaturity and impulsiveness. He has nonetheless used Nintendo Dojo as his very first social media presence before also being active on Smashboards. He would then eventually prefer Facebook over the former two as his most used social media website alongside YouTube, especially in the wake of Nintendo Dojo's long-standing stability difficulties and eventual shutdown, to which he didn't realize soon enough to say his goodbyes to the remaining members that he met there.
