 Playstyle

NuckleDu is a master of charge characters in Ultra Street Fighter IV (holding one direction, releasing the other). His unconventional offensive playstyle with Guile attracts viewers.  While assuming the persona of Decapre, he is renowned for his devious yet unpredictable playstyle, which contributes to his character selection.  NuckleDu is also notorious for his excessive taunting during matches in the form of Guile’s shades, which players find offensive and have dubbed him a villain for.

NuckleDu’s Nash is considered offensive in Street Fighter V, frequently beginning with fast-paced movement before devolving into a slugfest, a playstyle he is accustomed to while playing the character.

Private life

NuckleDu has a pet dog named Tofu who he looks after and who assists him in avoiding depression. NuckleDu is of Vietnamese ancestry, as is the majority of his family. NuckleDu stated in an interview with PVP Live’s Chris Bahn that he is afraid of flying, which is why he rarely travels outside of the United States, but wishes to visit Australia and Vietnam. NuckleDu donated his 2017 DreamHack Montreal 2017 winnings to Hurricane Irma relief efforts in his home state of Florida.

Career status

NuckleDu announced his status as a free agent on January 1, 2019, and then signed with the team Echo Fox on February 13, 2019. On July 19, 2018, after nearly a year without a sponsor and adopting the joking “sponsorship” tag “My Wallet” in tournaments, Ghost Gaming announced via Twitter that they had signed NuckleDu as their inaugural FGC player and that his first tournament would be Defend the North 2018.

He donated his 2017 DreamHack Montreal 2017 winnings to Hurricane Irma relief efforts in his home state of Florida. He cruised through the year’s most prestigious tournament, Capcom Cup 2016, without dropping a set, and won the competition, taking home the grand prize of $230,000 USD for first place. Throughout the Pro Tour season, he alternated between Guile and R. Mika, and his tough reads and feisty gameplay earned him a fan favorite.

Curse merged with Team Liquid in 2015, resulting in the latter acquiring NuckleDu. NuckleDu is best known for dominating Apex 2015 and Combo Breaker, defeating Snake Eyez and Ricki Ortiz in their respective grand finals. NuckleDu finished seventh in Ultra Street Fighter IV at EVO 2015, losing to Bruce “GamerBee” Hsiang. However, there was some controversy during the summer regarding the EGL Dallas tournament, in which NuckleDu won the Ultra Street Fighter IV tournament and was guaranteed $5,000 in prize money. However, EGL failed to compensate him and other tournament winners, resulting in the company’s bankruptcy. NuckleDu was one of 32 players who competed in the 2015 Capcom Cup, finishing 13th overall and as the tournament’s second highest-placed American. He qualified once more via point standings.
