Julius Vissing, aka '''King Funk''', is a [[smasher]], tournament organizer and commentator currently residing in Copenhagen, Denmark. Formerly a ''[[SSB64]]'' and ''[[Brawl]]'' player, Julius now plays ''[[Melee]]'' and ''[[Ultimate]]'', as well as a variety of other fighting game titles (most notably ''Street Fighter 6'', ''Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising'' & ''Tekken 8''). He is currently ranked 2nd for ''SSBM'' on the [[Danish Power Rankings]]. He is also the main tournament organizer for {{Trn|Valhalla}}, Denmark's major European Smash tournament series.
Julius Vissing, aka '''King Funk''', is a [[smasher]], tournament organizer and commentator currently residing in Copenhagen, Denmark. Formerly a ''[[SSB64]]'' and ''[[Brawl]]'' player, Julius now exclusively plays ''[[Melee]]'' and ''[[Smash 4]]'', as well as a variety of other fighting game titles (primarly ''Street Fighter V'' & ''Ultra Street Fighter IV'').


King Funk started out with ''Brawl'' in Portugal in 2008, where he co-founded the competitive scene with {{Sm|Flayl}} and hosted the country's first few tournaments. In 2010, he moved to Denmark for his studies and quickly transitioned from ''Brawl'' to ''Melee'' as most players in Scandinavia favored the latter as their game of choice. He was also for a long time one of Europe's best ''SSB64'' players until he quit the game in late 2012 to focus on other fighting games.

King Funk frequently commentates at European events such as DreamHack and hosts local and regional tournaments, such as the "Hive", "King Funk's Castle" and "Super Nørre Bros" series. In January 2018, he organized Denmark's first major tournament, {{Trn|Valhalla}}, which was followed by {{Trn|Valhalla II}} and {{Trn|Valhalla III}} in 2019 and 2020 with several hundred attendees from all over the world each year. After a long break due to the COVID-19 crisis and personal matters, King Funk returned to major tournament organization and hosted {{Trn|Valhalla IV}} in February 2024.

==Trivia==
* In ''[[SSB64]]'', King Funk was infamous for his creative and seemingly "random" use of [[Falcon Dive]], which he would generally use as an effective tool to punish [[shielding]] (in particular on platforms) as well as for [[tech-chasing]] purposes. While King Funk was in Japan in the summer of 2012, he demonstrated his uses for [[Falcon Dive]] which [http://smashboards.com/threads/social-thread-talk-about-anything-you-are-allowed-to-talk-about.216422/page-603#post-15751967 Japanese players would later affectionately name after him].
