In ''[[SSB4]]'', Abadango is a {{SSB4|Bayonetta}} and {{SSB4|Mewtwo}} player, and is considered one of the three current best Mewtwo players in the world along with {{Sm|SDX}} and {{Sm|WaDi}}, the best Mewtwo player of all time, and one of the best Bayonetta players in the world. He is also a prominent {{SSB4|Meta Knight}} and {{SSB4|Rosalina & Luma}} player. He was originally considered the best {{SSB4|Pac-Man}} player in the world, and a top {{SSB4|Wario}} player before switching to Mewtwo.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://splyce.gg/topics/post/384|title=Life and Times of Abadango: Pac-Man to Mewtwo}}</ref> Abadango is ranked 1st on the [[JAPAN Power Rankings]] and 13th on the [[Panda Global Rankings 100]].

==Tournament history==

===''[[Smash 4]]''===

===Rise to fame===

After not attending any other major tournaments for six months, Abadango next appeared at [[EVO 2015]]. Having picked up his old Brawl main of {{SSB4|Wario}} to complement his Pac-Man, Abadango swept through his round 1 and round 2 pools to reach top 8, defeating {{Sm|ESAM}}'s Heavy Skull Bash-empowered {{SSB4|Pikachu}} in the process. After losing to ZeRo in winners' semis, he had a rematch with Dabuz in loser's quarters. Abadango won the set 2-0, including a comeback in the second game with a [[Wario Waft]] stage spike. In losers' semis, he then had a close set with {{Sm|Mr. R}}, but ultimately lost 1-2, ending his run at 4th.

===Character changes===

In between The Big House 5 and {{Trn|GENESIS 3}}, Abadango decided to drop Pac-Man entirely along with Rosalina, opting to solo main Meta Knight for GENESIS 3. This did not work out for him, however, as he lost sets to {{Sm|Zan}} and {{Sm|Zinoto}}, placing at an all-time low of 49th.

===Mewtwo and Pound 2016===

In light of the major buffs {{SSB4|Mewtwo}} received in patches [[1.1.3]] and [[1.1.5]], Abadango opted to switch mains to Mewtwo, relegating Meta Knight to his secondary. With this new character in his arsenal, Abadango took Pound 2016 in dominant fashion, defeating Dabuz 3-2 in winners' quarters, {{Sm|VoiD}} 3-0 in winners' semis, {{Sm|Marss}} 3-1 in winners' finals, and {{Sm|Ally}} 3-0 in grand finals. This cemented his status as one of the best players in the world.

===Summer of Smash===

Abadango's next major tournament was [[Super Smash Con 2016]], where he placed 7th. Coming back from an early loss in the Mewtwo ditto against {{Sm|Rich Brown}} in round 2 pools, he defeated {{Sm|SuperGirlKels}} 2-0, {{Sm|Trela}} 2-0, {{Sm|Master Raven}} 3-0, {{Sm|Saj}} 3-1, and {{Sm|Ryo}} 3-2 before finally falling to his rival Ally 3-2 in loser's eighths. Abadango underperformed at [[Umebura S.A.T.]], however, placing 13th with losses to {{Sm|Taiheita}} and Nietono. He then placed 2nd at [[Umebura 25]], losing 3-1 to {{Sm|Kameme}} in grand finals.

At [[Frostbite 2017]], Abadango was upset by {{Sm|Black Yoshi}} 0-2 in pools and sent to losers. In losers he defeated {{Sm|Rayquaza07}} 3-1 and {{Sm|Blacktwins}} 3-1 before being eliminated by {{Sm|MKLeo}} 0-3 and finishing in 17th place.

At [[Kawaii Kon 2017]], Abadango defeated {{Sm|Saiki}} 3-1 to move onto winners finals where he was defeated by {{Sm|VoiD}} 0-3. In losers finals he defeated Saiki 3-0 before falling to VoiD 1-3 in grand finals finishing 2nd.

His next event, {{Trn|CEO 2018}}, saw him making his first supermajor top 8 of the year. Abadango would beat {{Sm|Lames}}, {{Sm|ESAM}} 2-0, and {{Sm|Nairo}} 3-1 before losing to {{Sm|Cosmos}} 1-3. He would then beat {{Sm|Marss}} in Game 5 to make it into top 8 before losing to {{Sm|CaptainZack}} 1-3 to finish at 7th.

Abadango would place 25th at his next supermajor {{Trn|EVO 2018}}, beating {{Sm|Extra}} and {{Sm|Tyrant}}, and losing to {{Sm|Shuton}} and {{Sm|Salem}}.

With the release of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' just around the corner and the death of Smash 4's competitive scene with it, Abadango shifted his attention from ''Smash 4'' to ''Ultimate''. While he placed 4th at the {{Trn|Super Smash Bros. Invitational 2018}}, using {{SSBU|Mewtwo}}, {{SSBU|Pac-Man}}, and {{SSBU|Corrin}}, he instead opted for newcomer {{SSBU|Inkling}} as his first main alongside former ''Smash 4'' main {{SSBU|Meta Knight}} as a secondary, due to both character's strong initial perceptions as well as numerous nerfs made to his former mains {{SSBU|Bayonetta}} and Mewtwo.

===2019===

At {{Trn|Umebura SP 2}}, Abadango would go out early at 49th, being upset by {{Sm|Rotsuku}} in winner's and {{Sm|Neon}} in loser's.

{{Trn|GENESIS 6}} marked his first international and supermajor appearance. After losing to {{Sm|Kurama}}, Abadango would pilot Inkling, Meta Knight, and new addition to his roster [[Wario (SSBU)|Wario]] to take wins over {{Sm|Kasei}}, {{Sm|Commander}}, {{Sm|AC}}, {{Sm|False}}, and {{Sm|ZD}} before losing to {{Sm|Secret}} 2-3 for a 25th finish.
