On February 8th, 2018, Light was signed by Most Valuable Gaming.[1] Months later, on September 26th, 2018, MVG released Light from his contract for unknown reasons.[2] On February 21st, 2019, Light was signed by Rogue.[3] Light left Rogue on March 31st, 2020. [4] He was signed by Moist Esports on September 15, 2021, an eSports team created by Cr1tikal.[5]
Playstyle[edit]
Light is known for his aggressive and quick playstyle. His knowledge and ability to tech chase and call out his opponent's options are effective in Fox's neutral. When Light starts off a combo, he would pull off some of Fox's high damaging combo moves in order to get his opponent to the specific kill confirm of neutral air into up smash if he reads a missed tech or vice versa. Light is also known to mix up Fox's recovery well, despite Fox having an easily exploitable linear recovery. For example, he uses Fox's reflector to stall his momentum in the air and uses Fire Fox in unique angles so he can potentially get trades with his opponent trying to edgeguard him.

- Light has the iconic habit to roll up his sleeves during sets, especially when he is in difficult situations and very close sets.
- Light is a fan of Toradora! and particularly Taiga Aisaka, the female protagonist of the show. Until recently, he often used "Palm Tiger" as his in-game tag, which is a derivation of Taiga's surname in the series ("Palmtop Tiger").
- Light has been the subject of a few memes and running gags in the Smash community:
- During a part of Smash 4 and Ultimate's competitive lifespan, Light's ability to clutch off sets and being victorious in very unfavorable situations has led the community saying Light has a plot armor and is therefore the protagonist of the competitive scene.[6] This running gag has since disappeared following his clutch qualification at Smash Ultimate Summit against ESAM.
- Many players have called Light a "rap god" because his name, Paris Ramirez, fit perfectly into a rap beat.
- A quote of Light stating that Wi-Fi is a sham[7] spawned several video edits, particularly those with Fox's victory screen.[8]
- Light is known for frequently taunting whenever he takes a stock.
