Steeler returned to the scene upon the release of {{forwiiu}} as a {{SSB4|Charizard}} main. Despite the disappointment of losing the Pokémon Trainer team and experimenting with other characters, he was most proficient with Charizard throughout his career. Although he did not achieve the same level of notoriety as before, he was formerly ranked as high as 2nd on the Wichita Smash 4 Power Rankings and had wins over players such as {{Sm|Mr. Doom}}, {{Sm|exJORDANary}}, and {{Sm|CrazyColorz5}}.

 

Steeler is currently a Pokémon Trainer main, having been reunited with his full team from ''Brawl''. He began his ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' career in the Columbus, OH region, and achieved honorable mention on the Winter 2019 [[Columbus Power Rankings]] before moving back to Kansas. Since then, he has been active in that tournament scene and placed on every South Kansas Power Ranking until taking a break in late 2022. His most notable wins thus far have been over {{Sm|MJG}}, {{Sm|ilikepieinmouth}}, and {{Sm|Very Freezer}}.

In ''[[Brawl]]'', he personally preferred to use {{SSBB|Squirtle}} and {{SSBB|Charizard}} through out his matches, using {{SSBB|Ivysaur}} more sparingly due to the Pokémon's subpar [[tether]] recovery. Squirtle was by far his best Pokémon, being a powerful force against most opponents, whereas his Charizard was competent against tougher characters such as {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}. He had been known to use Ivysaur for specific [[matchup]]s however, but generally avoided the character.

 

The hallmark of his playstyle in ''[[Ultimate]]'' is the uncanny resemblance to his playstyle in ''Brawl''; he is again most comfortable using {{SSBU|Squirtle}} to rack up damage, while using {{SSBU|Charizard}} to tank stocks and secure KOs, especially after the [[nerf]]s to {{SSBU|Ivysaur}} in [[List of updates (SSBU)/4.0.0 changelog#Ivysaur|patch 4.0.0]]. Despite his pessimism for Ivysaur, he is still more than willing to use it in many [[edgeguard]]]ing scenarios and will rely on it in certain matchups. Regardless, all three Pokemon having been significantly [[buff]]ed from their prior incarnations have combined to make Steeler a tournament threat in his region.
