Trivia

  • Laudandus is notorious for his hate for the Captain Falcon match up, infamously quoting that Falcon gets "Air Wobbles in to Rest" on much of the cast. He has since improved his understanding of the match up, but is still an admin of "Captain Falcon: A Hate Group" on Facebook along with gaR.
  • Due to his unusually long gamer tag, there is a persistent in-joke within the Nor-Cal community mispronouncing it. An example of this is at Showdown Smash, which otherwise does "The Foundry" events. In this case, Laudandus (with or without caps) at the beginning of a Twitch chat post will result in the Twitch bot, "XanBot" stating humorously, "XanBot: Are you looking for Loud Hondas? http://i.imgur.com/ktL5upO.jpg" There are similar jokes on MacD's stream as well as on the site smash.gg.
  • Laudandus is a Latin word that means "must be praised."
