From the beginning of the game up to October 2021, Glutonny never placed below any other European player offline, winning every European tournament he attended aside from {{Trn|Stunfest 2019}}, the weekly Smash4Glory #6, {{Trn|Ultimate Fighting Arena 2019}}, {{Trn|VCA 2019}}, and {{Trn|Temple: Hermès Edition}}; in the five tournaments, he fell to players outside of Europe: {{Sm|Shuton}} for the weekly, {{Sm|MkLeo}} for the next three, and {{Sm|Tea}} for Temple. As a result of this performance, he was ranked 1st on the [[European Smash Rankings]] in 2020. | ||
On an international level, however, Glutonny had a shaky start. Although he came into {{Trn|GENESIS 6}} with high hopes, he was knocked into loser's bracket right before top 64 by {{Sm|ImHip}} in a set that started a brief struggle against {{SSBU|Olimar}}. He made a respectable loser's run, notably defeating {{Sm|Marss}} along the way, before falling to {{Sm|Tweek}} in Losers Round 4, placing 17th. At his next American appearance, {{Trn|2GG: Prime Saga}}, he fell to {{Sm|Zan}} right before top 128. He once again made another respectable Loser's run, defeating {{Sm|T}} along the way, but fell to {{Sm|Light|p=Connecticut}} just outside of top 8. Although these placements were fantastic, they were nevertheless somewhat underwhelming for a player who dominated the European scene. | On an international level, however, Glutonny had a shaky start.
