==Tournament History==
His first successful tournament was [[Kansai 2015]] where he defeating all three top Kirby players {{Sm|Moyashi}}, {{Sm|Kysk}} and {{Sm|Fukurou}} and finished 3rd being eliminated by {{Sm|Jouske}}.

At [[Kanto 2015]] he defeated Norwegian smasher {{Sm|Olikus}} and got defeated by Mexican smasher {{Sm|Mariguas}} in a close set, finishing 17th.

Together with Japanese champion {{Sm|Wario}}, he attended [[GENESIS 3]] where he won against {{Sm|Lord Narwhal}}, {{Sm|Dext3r}}, {{Sm|KeroKeroppi}} without dropping a game. Most notably, he double eliminated {{Sm|Isai}}, 2-1 in Winner's Quarters against his Mario and 3-1 in Loser's Semis where Isai first chose to play Fox and switched to Pikachu when it was 2-1 for Wangera. In the final game and both players being on their last stock Isai missed an edge guard situation and self-destructed. This made Wangera the first player to win a tournament set against Isai's Pikachu.
Wangera got double-eliminated by {{Sm|SuPeRbOoMfAn}} and placed 3rd.

At [[Kansai 2016]] he lost against the Kirby players {{Sm|Fukurou}} and {{Sm|Keisuke}} and finished 5th.

His second US tournament was [[Super Smash Con 2016]] where he won 2-0 against {{Sm|NaCl}} and {{Sm|Stranded}} before getting upset 2-3 by {{Sm|The Z}}. In losers he won 3-2 against {{Sm|Dext3r}} in an extremely close set with a timeout in game 5, where both players had one only stock left and Dext3r a small damage percent lead (55% - 64%) and tried to avoid getting hit. 5 seconds before a timeout Wangera hit him with a Nair to increase his damage percent to 66% and won the game by 2%. He then defeated {{Sm|Kurabba}} 3-0 and got eliminated 3-1 by {{Sm|Isai}} who played as Pikachu for the whole set.
He later said that his performance was disappointing maybe because he didn't sleep well.

[[Kanto 2016]] became his first major win. In the absence of top players {{Sm|Wario}} and {{Sm|Jouske}} he won in Winner's Finals 2-1 and in Grand Final 2-0 against {{Sm|Fukurou}}.

At [[Japan Smash Cup 2016]] he reached Winner's Finals and then lost 0-2 against {{Sm|Wario}} and {{Sm|Fukurou}} to finish 3rd.
At [[Kansai 2017]] he got upset by {{Sm|Gyaki}} and {{Sm|Micchan}} and placed 5th (and lost to {{Sm|Tacos}} in pools). 
At [[Japan Smash Cup 2017]] he won against {{Sm|Kurabba}}, {{Sm|Moyashi}} and {{Sm|Kysk}} but got double eliminated by {{Sm|Maha}}.
At [[Kanto 2017]] he placed 5th losing against {{Sm|Fukurou}}, who later won that tournament.

He then attended his third US tournament, [[Super Smash Con 2017]], where he beat {{Sm|KD3}}, {{Sm|Dext3r}}, SleepyFox ({{Sm|LD}}) and {{Sm|Fukurou}} to reach Winners Finals. He then lost 0-3 against {{Sm|Kurabba}} and the rematch against {{Sm|Fukurou}} 2-3 and placed 3rd.

At his fourth US tournament, {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2018}}, he lost in pool to {{Sm|Tacos}} again but made it into Winner's Semis deafeating {{Sm|Wizzrobe}} and {{Sm|KeroKeroppi}} before losing to the Pikachus of {{Sm|SuPeRbOoMfAn}} and {{Sm|Isai}} finishing 5th.
