Trivia
- K9sbruce is infamous for his frequent outbursts whenever he loses (or wins) a match or the entire set. (Notable examples can be seen here). However, he has since improved his behavior around his losses, and his outbursts have become noticeably less frequent.
- One of his most famous moments has been turned into a gif and has become a recurring representation of salt in the community.
- K9sbruce's goal is to become "the King of Smash" in both Smash 4 and Melee.
- He was inspired by Luffy of the manga/anime One Piece, who wants to become the King of Pirates.
