Trivia

  • Rishi broke Hungrybox's Melee 500+ win streak on Anther's Ladder. For that reason, they played an exhibition match at Pound 2016, where Rishi lost 1-3.
  • Rishi is the inventor of the "Rishi's Jungle Jam" bracket format, which is occasionally played as a side event at tournaments; this format consists of playing on the stage Kongo Jungle with 3 stocks, an 8-minute timer, and the Starman item turned on at very low frequency.
