TaleOfTheToaster was also an active competitor in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U without any major success, but later reached the pro bracket for the game at Super Smash Con 2019 using Sonic. TaleOfTheToaster regularly attends Ultimate tournaments to a string of moderate results in his home country, maining R.O.B. since the game's launch.
In Ultimate, TaleOfTheToaster was ranked among the Top 100 players in the United Kingdom during the country's first competitive season, and 21st in the live ranking for his home region in Northern England, although his success was much more limited in the second season and in online tournaments. Somewhat by default, TaleOfTheToaster is also the only European player collecting notable results in North American Brawl tournaments in modern years.
