==Playstyle==
==Playstyle==
Light is known for his aggressive and quick playstyle. His knowledge and ability to tech chase and call out his opponent's options are effective in Fox's neutral. He also pays attention to his opponent’s defensive options and when he guesses right, he would pull off some of Fox's high damaging combo moves and strings in order to get his opponent to the specific kill confirm of neutral air into up smash if he reads a missed tech or vice versa. If the opponent is past that KO confirm percent range, he looks for other opportunities to frame trap them by keeping them in the corner, walling them out with back air, or go for jump reads with up air or the former. Unlike other Fox players, if Light knows he can edgeguard bad recoveries, he would run off Nair or shine spike them for early gimps. Light is also known to mix up Fox's recovery well, despite Fox having an easily exploitable linear recovery. For example, he uses Fox's reflector to stall his momentum in the air and uses Fire Fox in unique angles so he can potentially get trades with his opponent trying to edgeguard him.
Light is charactered by his aggressive, quick, and high-pressure playstyle, and has been the forerunner of Fox's metagame since the start of the game. Fox's incredible speed and overwhelming neutral game is complimented by Light's impressive reaction time. Many of Light's kills can be attributed to quick tech chase's or reactions to ledge getups, where Light has pioneered the dash attack into back air kill confirm. While initially having difficulty killing opponents, Light has developed a playstyle where he saves many of Fox's kill moves such as up smash or back air, deliberately not staling the move so they can reliably kill when he needs them to. His knowledge of specific kill percentages has also served him well, using Fox's laser to get opponents into the precise percentage where the neutral air up smash will finish his opponents.
 
Light in particular is known for his incredible ledge-trapping game. While early in the game Light had been known for two-framing his opponents with down smash, he has now developed a playstyle that involves cornering his opponents and overwhelming them with a flurry of back airs, reading or reacting to his opponents options to take the stock. Unlike other Fox players, if Light knows he can edgeguard bad recoveries, he would run off Nair or shine spike them for early gimps. Light is also known to mix up Fox's recovery well, despite Fox having an easily exploitable linear recovery. For example, he uses Fox's reflector to stall his momentum in the air and uses Fire Fox in unique angles so he can potentially get trades with his opponent trying to edgeguard him.

{{incomplete|Smash 4, rest of Ultimate, and just some general cleanup}}
===Regional threat===
===2019: Strong but inconsistent beginnings===
Light began actively playing {{forwiiu}} in 2016, attending events in the New England area. His initial few results were largely unremarkable, with a couple of decent placements at regional-level events, and he notably complemented his {{SSB4|Fox}} with other secondaries such as {{SSB4|Marth}}. However, throughout the year he began making waves in his home state, first by appearing on the [[Connecticut Power Rankings]] for the spring rankings as 11th, and reaching the top of the rankings by the end of the year. This climb to the top of his home state coincided with noticeable improvements in his results as he began making frequent top 8 appearances at New England regionals while taking notable New England names along the way. His best performance of the year was at {{Trn|GUMS X}}, where after falling to {{Sm|Raffi-X}} in top 16, he made a strong loser's run defeating {{Sm|LingLing}}, {{Sm|Craftis}}, Raffi-X, and {{Sm|XL-XCVii}}, all of whom were some of New England's best players at that time. His run ended with {{Sm|Marss}} swiftly 3-0ing him in grand finals. Results like GUMS X improved his standings in the New England area: Light first appearing on the [[New England Power Rankings]] as 7th midway through the year, and ended the year at 3rd, ranking just under Marss and Pugwest, New England's two [[PGR]] reps at the time.
By the end of ''Smash 4'', Light had established himself as the best Fox player in the world, and he hoped to keep that title in ''Ultimate''. Not only did he establish that within the first few months, but he was also arguably one of the best players in the world during that time, placing 3rd place at {{Trn|Glitch 6}} with an {{Sm|MkLeo}} win, having a strong start to the [[Spring 2019 PGRU|first PGRU season]] by placing top 8 at {{Trn|GENESIS 6}}, {{Trn|Frostbite 2019}}, and {{Trn|Collision 2019}}, as well as qualifying for {{Trn|Smash Ultimate Summit}} by winning {{Trn|Ultimate Nimbus}}. His best run of the season, however, was at {{Trn|2GG: Prime Saga}}, where he defeated {{Sm|Glutonny}}, MkLeo, {{Sm|Ally}}, and {{Sm|Nairo}} en route to a 3rd place finish.
 
His climb in the New England scene continued the following year. Light began seeing more and more top 3 finishes at regionals, claiming a couple of wins over PGR-ranked players Pugwest and {{Sm|Mr.E}}. However, Light was often snubbed out of a victory by Marss, who by then had became his bracket demon. In addition, despite becoming a strong New England threat, Light failed to see much success on a national-level, having placed 65th at [[Tournament:Shine 2016|the previous year's Shine]] and 97th at {{Trn|GENESIS 4}}. Despite rising all the way to 2nd in New England by the spring of 2017, Light failed to make the [[PGR v3]] and was ranked 79th on the ranking's X-Factor list.
 
===Climb to the top 50===
This small stagnation didn't last, and Light would finally have his breakout tournament at {{Trn|Shine 2017}}. After losing to {{Sm|Salem}}, Light went on to defeat {{Sm|Mr.E}}, {{Sm|JK}}, and {{Sm|VoiD}} before losing to {{Sm|Larry Lurr}} for 9th. Not only was he one set away from making top 8 at a major, but this was his first major where he garnered PGR wins that were outside of his region. This strong performance was followed by yet another strong showing at {{Trn|The Big House 7}}, where he claimed wins over {{Sm|DarkShad}} and {{Sm|NAKAT}} to finish 17th. These two strong performances, coupled with multiple PGR wins and with only 2 losses to players that weren't in the top 50, was enough for Light to place in the top 50 for the first time in his career, and he was ranked 47th on the [[PGR v4]].
 
But this wasn't the end of Light's year, as the off-season became the highlight. He was voted into the {{Trn|Smash 4 Boot Camp}}, the game's equivalent to ''Melee''{{'}}s {{Trn|Smash Summit|series}} series, and although he was seeded 9th, Light managed to pull off multiple upsets over top players. Light went 2-1 in his round robin by defeating {{Sm|Cosmos}} and {{Sm|Tweek}} and losing to {{Sm|MkLeo}}; his head to head broke the tiebreaker between him and Tweek, leaving him first in his round robin. Light claimed an additional win over {{Sm|Mr.R}} before falling to {{Sm|Nairo}} and {{Sm|ZeRo}} to place 5th, his first top 8 at a major event. He followed this run with two victories at large regionals in and around his area. The first, {{Trn|Overclocked}}, saw him defeat {{Sm|CaptainZack}} and, after falling to Marss yet again, saw him double-eliminating Marss from the tournament in the runback, his first time double-eliminating Marss to win a regional. The second tournament was {{Trn|The Legend of Glentendo}}, a New York event that saw some of Tristate's best players in attendance. This tournament was much easier for Light compared to Overclocked, as he defeated everyone, including New Jersey's second-best player {{Sm|Shoyo James}} twice, while only dropping 3 games the entire event. This sudden explosion of results from Light gave him the throne on the year-end [[New England Power Rankings]] and foreshadowed what was to come.
 
===''Smash 4''{{'}}s best Fox?===
Light left 2017 with his best year yet, and with a really strong off-season, Light was hoping for more in 2018. His start of the season, however, was rather lukewarm. Light's first major, {{Trn|Frostbite 2018}}, ended with a decent 17th, claiming no PGR wins along the way and falling to {{Sm|Samsora}} and {{Sm|Zinoto}}, while his [[Tournament:XenoSaga XIII|next]] [[Tournament:Overclocked II|two]] regionals, while placing in the top 3, saw Light develop a new bracket demon in the form of {{Sm|Dabuz}}, who defeated Light at both regionals.
 
This small slump ended at the super regional {{Trn|Collision XV}}, where Light defeated both Dabuz and {{Sm|Nairo}} to advance to grand finals. Although Nairo double-eliminated him, this performance marked the spark that reignited Light's performances. For the rest of the season, Light saw strong run after strong run, and aside from disappointing 17th at {{Trn|CEO 2018}}, Light made every tournament run worth it by placing top 16 at everything. This included {{Trn|MomoCon 2018}}, where Light defeated {{Sm|Larry Lurr}} in the ditto to place 9th; {{Trn|Smash 'N' Splash 4}}, where Light finished 4th after defeating {{Sm|komorikiri}} and {{Sm|Elegant}}, his first top 8 at an open major; and {{Trn|ALPHA II}}, which saw his first ever PGR tournament win after denying {{Sm|Fatality}} a successful reset. His strong performances despite a relatively weak start propelled Light into the top 20 by the end of the season, placing 13th on the [[PGR v5]] and outranking Larry Lurr by 3 places.
 
His performance in the fifth season, along with a decline in results for Larry Lurr, brought about questions as to whether Light could potentially be the best {{SSB4|Fox}} player in the world at that moment. Indeed, there were arguments in favor of both. From a glance it looked like Larry Lurr had a rather similar season to Light, with both seeing weak lows while having high peaks. However, while Larry Lurr had a better head to head against the top 50 (21-20) compared to Light (14-19), Light edged Larry Lurr out in their head to head against the top 10 (with Light being at 5-7 and Larry Lurr being at 3-6). If Light was to prove that he was better, he'd have to end the year on a stronger note.
 
Unfortunately, it may seem like this question will remain up for debate, as with the announcement of ''Ultimate''{{'}}s release at the end of the year, the PGR decided not to rank the final season, but instead release an all-time ranking. Light only appeared in four PGR tournaments during this period. However, he made them count by placing in the top 4 at almost all of them, finishing 4th at both {{Trn|Smash Sounds}} and {{Trn|Shine 2018}}, as well as 2nd at the regional {{Trn|Escape From Yoshi's Island}}. Light's performance in the final few months was marred with a disappointing 97th finish at {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2018}} after losing to {{Sm|Joe-J}} and {{Sm|BestNess}}, however aside from this misstep, Light ended his year - and ''Smash 4'' career - on a high note. Due to his explosive performances throughout 2018, as well as strong results in the latter half of 2017, panelists on the [[PGR 100]] ranked Light as the 43rd best player of all time, the second-highest Fox player on the list.
 
===''Ultimate'' and rise to the top 10===
By the end of ''Smash 4'', Light had established himself as one of the best Fox players in the world, and he hoped to keep that title in ''Ultimate''. Not only was he able to establish that within the first few months, but he was also arguably one of the best players in the world during that time, placing 3rd place at {{Trn|Glitch 6}} with an {{Sm|MkLeo}} win, having a strong start to the [[Spring 2019 PGRU|first PGRU season]] by placing top 8 at {{Trn|GENESIS 6}}, {{Trn|Frostbite 2019}}, and {{Trn|Collision 2019}}, as well as qualifying for {{Trn|Smash Ultimate Summit}} by winning {{Trn|Ultimate Nimbus}}. His best run of the season, however, was at {{Trn|2GG: Prime Saga}}, where he defeated {{Sm|Glutonny}}, MkLeo, {{Sm|Ally}}, and {{Sm|Nairo}} en route to a 3rd place finish.


Unfortunately, this hot streak was cut short by a series of underperformances at the following few majors in the season. He missed top 8 at a major for the first time at {{Trn|Pound 2019}}, where he lost to {{Sm|Daybreak}} 2-1 and was reverse 3-0'd by {{Sm|Dark Wizzy}} to finish in 17th place. He would also finish outside of top 8 at {{Trn|MomoCon 2019}}, {{Trn|Smash 'N' Splash 5}}, and {{Trn|CEO 2019}}. Despite having a strong start of the season, his weaker performances in the second half of the season hurt his overall standing, and he was ranked 10th on the first PGRU season.

However, with these highs came some lows. His first disappointment was at {{Trn|Low Tier City 7}}, where he lost to {{Sm|Meme}} and {{Sm|BestNess}} to place 17th. His second disappointment was also his worst performance to date: at {{Trn|Shine 2019}}, he fell to {{Sm|Juice}} and {{Sm|Suarez}} to ultimately place 25th. His final disappointment was at {{Trn|The Big House 9}}, where he lost to {{Sm|RFang}} and {{Sm|Tweek}} to place 13th. At all three tournaments, he saw at least one loss to players who were ultimately not ranked in the top 50 that season or failed to attain a win against a player of similar caliber. These mediocre results once again affected his overall standing by the end of the season: despite seeing some of his strongest results yet, he was ultimately ranked 10th yet again for that season.

===2020: A Slight Rough Patch, A Slow Return to Form===
Coming from a defining 2019, Light started the new year and the third PGRU season with high hopes, as expectations for how he would perform were high. Unfortunately, it seemed like nothing was going to change, as he once again saw a rather mixed season for a top 10 player. He started the season off with two lukewarm performances at {{Trn|Let's Make Big Moves}} and {{Trn|Glitch 8 - Missingno}}. In the former, despite seeing a decent run, he failed to place top 8, instead falling to {{Sm|Tea}} and {{Sm|Marss}} for 9th. In the latter, he saw his worst placement that season after being upset by {{Sm|Dill}} and {{Sm|Mr. E}}; this run, however, was compensated with a win over {{Sm|Maister}}, marking the first time he had defeated his bracket demon after Maister had 3-0'd him in their last two encounters. His performance at {{Trn|Frostbite 2020}} was on a similar caliber: despite defeating {{Sm|Shuton}}, he fell to {{Sm|Nairo}} and rising star {{Sm|Toast}} to once again place 9th.
Coming from a defining 2019, Light started the new year and the third PGRU season with high hopes, as expectations for how he would perform were high.


Light started the season with the season's first S-tier, {{Trn|Let's Make Big Moves}}, by beating {{Sm|MuteAce}} and {{Sm|WaDi}} before losing to Marss in a very competitive set for 9th place. Light would then, however, fall short at {{Trn|Glitch 8 - Missingno}}; he would be upset by both {{Sm|Dill}} and {{Sm|Mr. E}} while taking no games against either player, resulting in a disappointing 13th place finish (although he beat his bracket demon, {{Sm|Maister}}).  
His mediocre major runs, however, were balanced out by a solid run at {{Trn|GENESIS 7}}, the second-largest tournament of the season. Despite being upset by {{Sm|Elegant}} in his first round of Winners Top 64, he managed to knock out {{Sm|Salem}}, {{Sm|Cosmos}}, and {{Sm|Tweek}} in his Loser's run, ultimately placing 7th after falling to {{Sm|Dark Wizzy}}. Furthermore, he was still able to claim the runner-up position in his region with his 2nd place finish at {{Trn|Overclocked Ultimate IV}} and winning a set against Marss, his only victory over New England's best player that season. These results showed that, although his status of a being top 10 player was questionable at the time, Light nonetheless proved that he could still keep up with the cream of the crop. Unfortunately, he was unable to prove his top 10 status as the [[COVID-19 pandemic]] shut down offline competitive play for over a year. Due to Fox being a weaker character online and Light's distaste for ''Ultimate''{{'}}s online mode, Light took a break from the game, only entering a couple of online tournaments in 2021 in preparation for and to participate in the {{Trn|SWT: NA Northeast Ultimate Online Qualifier}}, where he placed 33rd.


Eventually, Light bounced back and responded to the lacking Glitch 8 with a strong {{Trn|GENESIS 7}}. After Light was upset by {{Sm|Elegant}} in his first round of winners top 64, Light made a solid run to top 8 losers, beating a handful of top players including Tweek, Cosmos, and {{Sm|Salem}}. However, his run was stopped by Dark Wizzy after losing a very close game 5 set, placing 7th. At next month's major, {{Trn|Frostbite 2020}}, Light had a strong run even though he barely missed top 8, finishing at 9th. After losing to Nairo in winners top 32, Light eliminated {{Sm|Shuton}} and {{Sm|VoiD}} before falling to {{Sm|Toast}}. Although his status of a being top 10 player was questionable at the time, Light nonetheless proved that he could still keep up with the cream of the crop before offline tournaments were put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
===One of America's best===
Despite a lack of results during the online metagame, people were adamant that Light would reach his peak form again when offline returned. However when offline did return, it was clear that a lack of practice had hurt him. At the 16-person invitational {{Trn|Momentous}}, Light placed 7th despite being seeded 3rd, losing to two other players who played ''Star Fox'' characters: rising star {{Sm|Tilde}} and familiar foe {{Sm|Jakal}}. He then saw his worst performance post-pandemic at at the {{Trn|Smash Ultimate Summit 3}} qualifier {{Trn|Mega Smash Mondays 240}}, where despite coming in as the first seed, he lost to {{Sm|Ketchup}} and {{Sm|Scend}} to finish at 17th, a far cry from the performances he had pre-pandemic.
Despite these setbacks, players still had confidence that Light could return to the spotlight; [https://twitter.com/AgentSmithhhh/status/1438559487808266240 a viral Tweet made by smith], effectively summarized Light's position in the metagame at that moment: many players believed that he was still good, but his mentality was holding him back. Light gave some of that hope back at {{Trn|Glitch 8.5 - Konami Code}}, where despite losing two close game 5 sets to {{Sm|ESAM}} and {{Sm|Maister}}, both of whom played characters considered some of Fox's worst matchups, he ended up placing 5th, his first top 8 at a major since {{Trn|GENESIS 7}}. He then pulled the best run of his career up to that point: although he was on the Loser's side because of his loss against Jakal, Light embarked one one of the most grueling top 8 runs in the game's history, winning game 5 sets against {{Sm|Marss}}, {{Sm|Kola}}, {{Sm|MVD}}, and {{Sm|Maister}} to make it to Grand Finals. There, he defeated {{Sm|Sparg0}} 3-0 in the first set of Grands and win yet another game 5 set to take his first major win. His victory at Super Smash Con: Fall Fest prove that despite losing faith in his main and having to play catchup, he was able to adapt to a new metagame and defeat rising stars and familiar foes along the way. Despite a decent run at {{Trn|Mainstage}} and not participating in the {{Trn|Smash World Tour 2021 Championships}}, Light solidified himself as a top 10 player in the United States with his S-tier placement - or top 7 - on the [[PGRUContenders North America]], and as a top 20 player in the world, being ranked 15th on the [[OrionRank Ultimate: Eclipse]].


===2021: A Slow Return to Form===
The end of 2021 began an upward trend for Light as he began seeing consistency that he had never seen before, and 2022 marked Light's best year yet. Following an underwhelming 13th-place finish at {{Trn|Glitch - Infinite}} losing to {{Sm|Jake}} and {{Sm|Vendetta}}, he would not place outside the top 8 until {{Trn|Ludwig Smash Invitational}} 8 months later; in fact, during this period he only placed outside the top 3 at 2 events -- {{Trn|Collision 2022}} and {{Trn|GENESIS 8}}. Due to these absurdly consistent placements as well as {{Sm|Tweek}}'s decline, many players called Light the best player in the United States; this was reflected in the rankings for the first half of the year, where he was ranked 4th on the [[PGRU v3]] and 3rd on the [[OrionRank Mid-Year 2022]], the highest-ranking player from the United States on both rankings. Some players even went as far as to call Light a contender for the best player in the world, especially following {{Sm|Sparg0}}'s inactivity and {{Sm|MkLeo}}'s decline in mid-2022.
Throughout the pandemic, Light refused to enter online tournaments. He only entered two events during this time: [https://www.start.gg/tournament/the-box-juice-box-38/event/ultimate-singles The Box: Juice Box 38], which he placed 9th, and {{Trn|SWT: NA Northeast Ultimate Online Qualifier}}, where he placed 33rd. Despite a lack of results during this era, people were adamant that Light would reach his peak form again when offline returned.


With the return of offline tournament events, however, it was clear that a lack of practice had hurt him. At the 16-person invitational {{Trn|Momentous}}, Light placed 7th despite being seeded 3rd with losses to up-and-coming Falco player {{Sm|Tilde}} and {{Sm|Jakal}}. It was at the {{Trn|Smash Ultimate Summit 3}} qualifier {{Trn|Mega Smash Mondays 240}}, however, where Light had his worst performance post-pandemic: coming in at the first seed, he would lose to {{Sm|Ketchup}} and {{Sm|Scend}} to finish at 17th, a far cry from the performances he had pre-pandemic.
However, a few factors ultimately kept him out of the number one spot. For one, despite his absurd consistency Light was only able to win one major/supermajor event -- {{Trn|MomoCon 2022}}. Conversely, both Sparg0 and MkLeo saw multiple major and supermajor wins, some of which were the most important events of the year. In addition, the summer saw the debut of {{Sm|acola}} on the national scene, and Fox was known to struggle against acola's main {{SSBU|Steve}}. This was showcased in their sets: Light ultimately went 3-1 against acola, while acola notably kept Light from winning {{Trn|The Gimvitational}}. Due to those two factors, Light was ultimately ranked 4th on both the [[UltRank 2022]] and the [[OrionRank 2022]], behind the three players; although not what he wanted, this was still Light's best placement to date.
Despite those setbacks, Light would then see a return to form at {{Trn|Glitch 8.5 - Konami Code}}. There, he would place 5th, with set wins over {{Sm|Zomba}}, {{Sm|Ned}}, {{Sm|Cosmos}}, with losses in close game 5 sets to {{Sm|ESAM}} and {{Sm|Maister}}, who both play characters considered some of Fox's worst matchups. It was clear that Light still had the skill to reach the peaks he used to, but this was marked by inconsistency in his results.


It was after a now infamous [https://twitter.com/AgentSmithhhh/status/1438559487808266240 tweet by smith], however, when Light reached new heights and cemented himself as one of the best players in the world at {{Trn|Super Smash Con: Fall Fest}}. After losing to Jakal 0-3, Light would first beat {{Sm|Pink Fresh}} 3-1 to qualify for top 8 through loser's. Following this, Light would embark on one of the most grueling top 8 runs in Ultimate history, winning game 5 sets against {{Sm|Marss}}, {{Sm|Kola}}, {{Sm|MVD}}, and {{Sm|Maister}} (who had eliminated him last tournament) to make it to Grand Finals. There, he would beat {{Sm|Sparg0}} 3-0 in their first set and win yet another game 5 set to take his first major.
The beginning of 2023 continued Light's strong results from the previous year, with him most notably winning the major {{Trn|LVL UP EXPO 2023}}. However, his results began to noticeably falter after the major win: out of the nine major and supermajor events Light attended after LVL UP EXPO that year, Light only placed top 8 at three of them -- {{Trn|Get On My Level 2023}}, {{Trn|Tera}}, and {{Trn|Port Priority 8}}. Conversely, he also saw some of the worst performances since 2019, which includes placing 25th at {{Trn|Luminosity Makes Moves Miami 2023}} losing to {{Sm|WebbJP}} and {{Sm|ApolloKage}}, tying {{Trn|Shine 2019}} as his worst placement at an ''Ultimate'' major. In addition, he was no longer considered the uncontested best player in the United States as he began trading more sets with Tweek, who began seeing a resurgence in late-2022, and Zomba -- who saw an explosion of top-level results in mid-2023. Not helping his situation was issues in his personal life, which took his attention out of competition.


He would close out his last year's major at {{Trn|Mainstage}}, where he placed 7th losing to {{Sm|Elegant}} and {{Sm|Sparg0}} in their runback.
Luckily, he also still had a lot going for him that helped keep his season afloat. For one, almost every player in the top 10 that year saw some notable underperformances, and compared to some of them, Light still came out of the year rather easily. In addition, Light still had a major win under his belt for the season, which helped him greatly as top level play became increasingly dominant by four players as the year went on. Finally, Light ended the year with a positive record against two of the four dominant players: Sparg0 and {{Sm|Sonix}}. As such despite the noticeable dips, his highs still allowed him to be ranked in the top 10, ranking 6th on both the [[LumiRank Mid-Year 2023]] and the [[LumiRank 2023]].


===2022: Becoming the Best in the United States===
==Rankings==
Light came into 2022 with a rough start: at his first major of the year, {{Trn|Glitch - Infinite}}, Light placed 13th with losses to {{Sm|Jake}} and {{Sm|Vendetta}}, two up-and-coming players. This however, if anything, seemed only to motivate Light more.

Light would begin to take the crown of United State's best at {{Trn|GENESIS 8}}, following both a 4th place finish along with a poor Tweek performance at the same tournament. Light beat players such as {{Sm|Dabuz}}, {{Sm|Myran}}, and {{Sm|Chag}}, losing only to {{Sm|MkLeo}} and {{Sm|Glutonny}}. He would follow this performance up next week at {{Trn|Pound 2022}}, where he played beat players such as {{Sm|Dark Wizzy}}, Jakal, and {{Sm|Riddles}} without dropping a game, before losing to Glutonny and MkLeo again for 3rd.

He would win his second major at {{Trn|MomoCon 2022}}, where unlike the grueling loser's run of Smash Con: Fall Fest, Light would breeze through the bracket, dropping only two games to {{Sm|ChunkyKong}} and {{Sm|Dabuz}}, along with blowout wins against {{Sm|Riddles}} and {{Sm|Sonix}}. This victory put his name on the map for being top 5, even top 3 in the world.

Light started {{Trn|The Gimvitational}} rough, losing 2/3 of his Round Robin games to {{Sm|Marss}} and {{Sm|Asimo}}, before a final loss to {{Sm|Cosmos}} to start his bracket in Loser's. Despite this setback, he would claw his way back to Grand Final's by beating {{Sm|Gackt}}, {{Sm|Marss}}, {{Sm|Cosmos}}, {{Sm|yonni}}, {{Sm|Kola}}, and {{Sm|Riddles}} before losing 1-3 against {{Sm|acola}} to finish 2nd.
