Despite being stretched thin between two games, he was considered the undisputed best player for ''Brawl'' and one of the two best players for ''Melee'' alongside {{Sm|Mango}} during some time from 2008 to mid-2009. | ||
During late 2013, after years of not winning a major ''Melee'' tournament, Mew2King went on a winning streak which saw him win [[The Big House 3]] as well as almost every other singles event he entered, taking sets off of players who he had seldom defeated in that recent time, including {{Sm|Mango}}, {{Sm|Hungrybox}}, and {{Sm|PPMD}}. This is commonly referred to as "The Return of the King". | During late 2013, after years of not winning a major ''Melee'' tournament, Mew2King went on a winning streak which saw him win [[The Big House 3]] as well as almost every other singles event he entered, taking sets off of players who he had seldom defeated in that recent time, including {{Sm|Mango}}, {{Sm|Hungrybox}}, and {{Sm|PPMD}}.
