In {{forwiiu}}, he was a {{SSB4|Diddy Kong}} main with a {{SSB4|Luigi}} secondary. He has taken sets off of top players such as Tweek, {{Sm|Elegant}}, {{Sm|Ally}}, {{Sm|CaptainZack}}, {{Sm|komorikiri}}, {{Sm|MVD}}, {{Sm|Darkshad}}, Mr. E, and {{Sm|Zinoto}}, and is ranked 54th on the [[PGR 100]]. Near the end of ''Smash 4''{{'}}s lifespan, Rivers entered semi-retirement due to medical conditions. In an interview with {{Sm|ZeRo}} at {{Trn|Smash 'N' Splash 4}}, Rivers revealed that he suffers from tendonitis and thus doesn't enter many tournaments. More recently, Rivers has switched to the Switch Pro Controller for a more ergonomic control scheme and has begun to compete again in ''Ultimate''. | In {{forwiiu}}, he was a {{SSB4|Diddy Kong}} main with a {{SSB4|Luigi}} secondary.
