Tournament history
He along with Japanese players Wangera, bonobono, and Kurabba were funded to participate in Super Smash Con 2016's Smash 64 tournament. Prince also entered and won the event's "Combo Tournament", placing over top Smash 64 combo specialists such as Dext3r, Mariguas, tacos, and Alvin. He was personally listed by many Japanese players as someone they wanted to see once top player Fukurou could not attend, showing his continued status in the community.
He was able to place 9th at Super Smash Con, with victories over Clubbadubba, Zero and Alvin and losses in the Yoshi ditto against Wizzrobe and Mariguas. Prince won the Smash 64 combo contest a second year in a row at Super Smash Con 2017 and placed 9th again, winning his rematch with Mariguas, but losing to Fukurou and, like previous year, against Wizzrobe.
A year later he played his third Super Smash Con 2018 where he won the combo contest again and placed 9th again, losing to Zero and Dishier Wand in pools and sekirei and Isai after defeating Fireblaster and Robert.
