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 Valhalla, Denmark's major European Smash tournament series.
King Funk started out with Brawl in Portugal in 2008, where he co-founded the competitive scene with 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, Valhalla, which was followed by Valhalla II and 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 Valhalla IV in February 2024.

In Smash 64, King Funk was infamous for his creative and seemingly "random" use of the 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 of the Falcon Dive, which Japanese players would later affectionately name after him.
