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".

Mew2King dabbled in ''[[SSB4]]''; however, he was notorious for dropping out of national ''[[SSB4]]'' tournaments to focus on ''[[Melee]]'', generally if he was sent to losers bracket early in pools. He initially mained Diddy Kong. However, upon the release of update [[1.0.6]], which heavily nerfed Diddy Kong and removed his notorious "Hoo-Hah" combo, Mew2King was left unable to play Diddy as well as he had before, lamenting that he went from being the second best {{SSB4|Diddy Kong}} player to not even a top 10 Diddy. He tested with multiple characters in the game such as {{SSB4|Captain Falcon}}, {{SSB4|Mario}}, {{SSB4|Rosalina & Luma}}, {{SSB4|Mii Brawler}}, and Donkey Kong attempting to get a new main. Donkey Kong notably got him 3rd at [[PAX Prime 2015]] and 5th at [[SKTAR 4]], leading him to be ranked as a top 5 ''SSB4'' {{SSB4|Donkey Kong}} player on the PGR V3. He popularized the "Ding Dong", a combo involving a cargo up throw into up aerial which can kill at low percentages. Despite his efforts, Mew2King did not feel confident in any character and was doubtful that he would achieve the same success from before the update. He would later go on to say because of this that he was not too fond of ''SSB4'' as a competitive game but thought it was great casually, something he has also said about ''[[Smash 64]]''.

Mew2King further improved his ''Melee'' game in 2016, 3-0ing Armada [[Smash Summit 2]] as well as winning [[Clutch City Clash]] and [[Shine 2016]], one of the largest ''[[Melee]]'' events of all time, as well as other smaller regional tournaments such as [[Endgame]] and [[Apex 2016]]. He also had one of the most legendary losers' runs in the history of the game at [[UGC Smash Open]]: after being knocked into the losers' bracket in round 1 of Winners' bracket by {{Sm|n0ne}}, he defeated Duck, Mango, Ice, SFAT, n0ne, Leffen, Hungrybox, and Armada before losing to Armada in Set 2 of Grand Finals. Other notable performances in 2016 include 2nd at [[CEO 2016]], 3rd at [[Smash 'N' Splash 2]], [[WTFox 2]] (where he notably 3-0d Hungrybox), and [[Super Smash Con 2016]], and 5th at [[EVO 2016]]. In 2017, he defeated Armada and Leffen at [[Canada Cup 2017]], taking home the title. He also won [[CEO Dreamland]], defeating Hungrybox in the process, and took 2nd at [[Super Smash Con 2017]] under Mango. In 2018, M2K took home his first supermajor tournament in almost a decade at [[Smash Summit 6]], where he defeated Armada twice. Later in the year, at [[Super Smash Con 2018]], M2K found himself in yet another Grand Finals against Armada, 3-0ing Hungrybox to reach there. M2K would take Armada to Set 2 Game 10 in what is almost unanimously considered one of the greatest ''Melee'' sets of all time. Both players were at near peak performance, but Armada would edge it out to take home his final Melee trophy before retirement. After the release of ''Ultimate'', M2K would focus largely on the new game, essentially "soft-retiring" from Melee. He briefly returned to the ''Melee'' scene in October at [[The Big House 9]], defeating iBDW and Hungrybox before falling to Zain and Fiction.

==Trivia==

*Mew2King, being a very technical player, was initially an outspoken critic of ''[[Brawl]]'', claiming that it lacked many of the elements that made ''[[Melee]]'' a fun game to play<ref><span class="plainlinks">[http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=516492&topic=41341001 M2K has played Brawl - Super Smash Bros. Melee Message Board for GameCube - GameFAQs]</span></ref>. Later, he saw ''Brawl'' as an opportunity to get ahead of the curve, and began playing it competitively as well.

**Mew2King also holds the record for most total money won in ''Brawl'' tournaments.

*Mew2King is able to play the majority of the ''Melee'' cast, including mid and low tiers, at a high level, exemplifying this by beating {{Sm|Mango}} in two [[Ironman|26-character battle]]s at [[Smash the Record]], having only had to use five characters the first time, and 15 characters the second time.

*He was featured in the ''Guinness World Records 2017 Gamer's Edition'' along with {{Sm|ZeRo}} for being the player with the ''Most eSports tournament results '' (at 339).

*People who triple-main {{SSBM|Fox}}, {{SSBM|Sheik}} and {{SSBM|Marth}} in ''Melee'' are sometimes said to "main Mew2King". Smashers who are examples of this are {{Sm|DruggedFox}}, {{Sm|Ice}}, {{Sm|AbsentPage}}, {{Sm|Rudolph}}, {{Sm|KDJ}}, {{Sm|Tink}}, {{Sm|Azen}}, and {{Sm|Ek}}.
