Trivia
Dabuz will occasionally opt to bring a Luma plushie to tournaments, which he asserts, acts as emotional stress relief.[7]
Dabuz is often considered Hungrybox 's equivalent in SSB4 , due to both sharing a signature defensive playstyle, being born in the same year: 1993, and both sporting prominent beards.
Dabuz is well known for maintaining detailed notes on other players and match-ups, which he utilizes as a reference. It has become a meme in the SSB4 community, often employed when an unexpected upset occurs in tournament, or when Dabuz is given an example of how to perform in a match-up, or against a specific player.
Dabuz commonly uses tags with motivating words of advice in order to keep himself composed.
Dabuz is famous in the Smash community for his affinity for unusual food combinations, such as Pepsi and milk or peanut butter and BBQ sandwiches.
Dabuz was the best player in Playstation All Stars Battle Royale, winning multiple tournaments. Dabuz also won the Kid Icarus: Uprising National Nintendo Championship.
Super Smash Con 2017 and 2018 were the only tournaments were Dabuz entered where he failed to make it into Top 32, placing 33rd at both events.
