Sparg0's strong outings at Get On My Level 2023 and Smash Factor X earned him the 1st seed going into {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2023}}, which, at 2,607 entrants, was poised to be the biggest ''Ultimate'' tournament since the post-quarantine era. Expectations on Sparg0 were high, and with a bevy of high-profile Japanese talent attending the tournament, many were wondering if he could repeat his career-highlight successes at the previous two premier events. Unfortunately, Sparg0 ended up with a shocking 49th-place finish at the event, his worst placement ever tied with {{Trn|GENESIS 6}}, {{Trn|2GG: Kongo Saga}}, and {{Trn|GENESIS 7}}. Sparg0's losses at the event were to players who weren't ranked in the top 50: {{Sm|Ly}} and {{Sm|Aaron|p=Florida}}. The magnitude of this placing was not lost on Sparg0's competitors: {{Sm|acola}} ultimately won the event without dropping a set, widening the gap between him and Sparg0.

Despite this devastating performance, Sparg0 was able to bounce back the following weekend by taking {{Trn|Delfino Maza 2023}} over Glutonny. However, the next few events saw Sparg0 have a more difficult time against top players. At {{Trn|Tera}}, Sparg0 lost 2-3 to Tweek before being eliminated by Glutonny for 3rd, despite having defeated him in their last two encounters. {{Trn|ReWired Fest 2023}} saw Sparg0 fall to his bracket demon MuteAce yet again before being swiftly cleaned up by Light 3-0. Finally, Sparg0 continued to have some difficulty against Sonix; Sonix defeated Sparg0 in Winner Finals at {{Trn|Luminosity Makes Moves Miami 2023}} only for Sparg0 to double-eliminate Sonix in a grueling 10-game, hour-long pair of grand finals sets.

Although these performances still established Sparg0 as one of the best in the world, it wasn't helping him in his race for #1, especially with acola's continued dominance in Japan. In addition, Sparg0's race to #2 was also becoming tighter after {{Sm|Miya|p=Honshu}}'s string of equally-strong performances. Not helping his case was his performance at {{Trn|Port Priority 8}}, which saw Sparg0 lose to {{Sm|KEN}} before being eliminated by {{Sm|Riddles}} for 17th, yet another underwhelming finish at an important event; with Sonix winning the event, a few players even went as far as to question whether Sparg0 would end up outside the top 3. Following the event, Sparg0 acknowledged his struggle to adapt to the game's fast-changing meta and promised to come out stronger at the final invitational of the year, {{Trn|Watch The Throne}}.
