Trivia
- Dabuz will occasionally opt to bring a Luma plushie to tournaments, which he asserts, acts as emotional stress relief.[5]
- Dabuz is often considered Hungrybox's equivalent in SSB4, due to both sharing a signature defensive playstyle, being born in the same year: 1993, and both sporting prominent beards.
- Dabuz is well known for maintaining detailed notes on other players and match-ups, which he utlises as a reference. It has become a meme in the SSB4 community, often employed when an unexpected upset occurs in tournament, or when Dabuz is given an example of how to perform in a match-up, or against a specific player.
- Dabuz commonly uses tags with motivating words of advice in order to keep himself composed.
