Trivia

  • The Moon is one of the four Marth players that has been able to take a set off of Fly Amanita's Ice Climbers in tournament, with the others being PewPewU, Ken, and Azen.
  • The Moon has been notably upset by a few low-tier mains, including Phish-It at Zenith 2012, Qerb in locals, and Saus at Get On My Level 2015, at The Big House 5, he was upset by Kage's Ganondorf and most recently Green Ranger's Donkey Kong at Nebulous Prime.
  • The Moon almost always plays white Marth, but switches to black Marth when in grand finals of a tournament. He refers to this as "the dark side of the moon".
  • He is also known for being the origin of a commentator meme in the Melee community. Years ago, when he was not as well-known as a player, he claimed that one of Falco's most popular ledge getup options (the ledge hop double laser) was actually an "unsafe" option, contrary to popular opinion. This was brushed off at the time, but frame data and advancements in the metagame have since shown that he was actually correct. As such, when modern Falco mains perform this technique and are punished for it, commentators will often reference The Moon and quote the history of his claim.
