Despite placing in the top 10 the previous season, Jmook had yet to win a major, often falling to players such as {{Sm|Hungrybox}} and {{Sm|Zain}} in Grand Finals or losing to familiar demons such as {{Sm|aMSa}}. That was set to change in {{Trn|GENESIS 9}}, the first supermajor of the year, and the tournament series where he first broke out a year prior. Both Hungrybox and aMSa were upset in Top 64, while Jmook mostly cruised into Top 8 despite a close call with {{Sm|SFOP}}. He then defeated Zain 3-2, {{Sm|moky}} 3-0, and finally {{Sm|Cody Schwab}} 3-1 to take the tournament, marking the first supermajor win for a solo-{{SSBM|Sheik}} player in ''Melee''{{'}}s history. Jmook followed this historic feat with yet another major victory at {{Trn|Collision 2023}}.

Jmook followed this historic feat with yet another major victory at {{Trn|Collision 2023}}. Although he fell to Loser's after losing to Cody Schwab, Jmook ran through the Loser's bracket, defeating a slew of Fox players and winning his runback against Cody before facing Zain in Grand Finals, where he defeated him 3-0 and 3-2. With two major/supermajor wins under his belt within the first three months of the year, many players began wondering whether Jmook could be ranked #1 in first half of the year. | |||
Unfortunately, Jmook's streak ended at {{Trn|Battle of BC 5}}, where he | Unfortunately, Jmook's hot streak ended at {{Trn|Battle of BC 5}}, where Jmook's bracket luck ran out as he ran into aMSa, who defeated him 1-3. Jmook then lost to Cody Schwab to place 4th. His next major -- {{Trn|Tipped Off 14: Resurgence}} -- was even more underwhelming, as he was upset by {{Sm|MOF}} in Winner's Round 1 and unluckily ran into aMSa in Loser's bracket, who eliminated him at 9th, Jmook's first finish outside the top 8 since the {{Trn|Smash World Tour 2021 Championships}}. This happened again a couple months later at GOML 2023 losing to both Morsecode and Skerzo 0-3 | ||
