The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters. |
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted. |

Controversy
Alleged attempt of vehicular homicide[1]
On November 25th, 2017, JK was reported by a large group of fellow smashers, including Charliedaking, S2H, Technicals and others, to have tried to run them over with his vehicle. According to Technicals, they were coming out of a local tournament in Las Vegas when JK invited them to have dinner at a restaurant. After they declined his invitation and went for a walk, JK tried to run them over while they were still in the parking lot, with two of the people barely avoiding him. After this, the group of smashers went to confront JK, who allegedly admitted he tried to hit them on purpose, and that he did not care if he or anyone else died. Due to this series of events, JK was banned from attending most tournaments in Las Vegas until further notice.
On November 26th of the same year, a day after the incident had occurred, JK issued an apology.[2] In this apology, he explains that he suffers from multiple mental illnesses which may have caused him to commit this act. He also states that he is seeking psychiatric help for his mental illnesses.
On November 27th, one day later, Sean Laz, another tournament organizer at Las Vegas tournaments reviewed the situation. After deeming JK's apology insufficient, due to it not truly apologizing to the parties involved in the incident, Sean confirmed JK's indefinite ban from Las Vegas tournaments until he could prove he was mentally rehabilitated[3]. That same day, JK announced that he would be leaving the Smash scene to find his passion.[4] He also stated that once he was rehabilitated, he would return to the scene when the community felt comfortable with him attending tournaments again.[5]
On June 9th, 2018, multiple members of the Las Vegas "Backroom" and many tournament organizers held a meeting to adjudge whether JK was fit to return to Las Vegas tournaments. All parties involved in this meeting unanimously voted to lift the ban inflicted upon JK.[6][7]
