Despite many players considering Mr. Game & Watch to be one of the worst characters in ''Ultimate''{{'}}s early metagame, Maister stuck with the character. He defied expectations by finding success in not just his home country, but Chicago as well, where he racked up 26 consecutive tournament set wins and was ranked in the 0th position on the [[Chicago Power Rankings]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/ChiSmashStats/status/1108933896580689920|title=Maister's 26 consecutive set wins}}</ref> However, he would struggle on a national level, placing 129th at {{Trn|GENESIS 6}} and 49th at {{Trn|Smash 'N' Splash 5}}, the only 2 supermajors he attended that season. Although he was widely considered the second-best player in Mexico; had placed in the top 3 at all other PGR tournaments he attended that season, including defending his title at {{Trn|Combo Breaker | Despite many players considering Mr. Game & Watch to be one of the worst characters in ''Ultimate''{{'}}s early metagame, Maister stuck with the character.

Even after he got the short end of the stick in the first season, Maister was still determined to prove himself in the second season. He began with a 3rd place at {{Trn|Smash Factor 8}}, double-eliminating {{Sm|Abadango}} and defeating {{Sm|Glutonny}} but fell to {{Sm|MkLeo}} twice, a player who eventually become his offline bracket demon. Although he had a respectable 17th placement at {{Trn|EVO 2019}}, it was quickly overshadowed by his performance at {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2019}}; he initially lost to {{Sm|Leffen}} early on in the tournament, but would make an impressive Loser's run, eliminating yeti, ESAM, and {{Sm|Light|p=Connecticut}} before falling to {{Sm|Marss}} and placing 5th. Although this was, at the time, the highest a Mr. Game & Watch player had placed at a supermajor, Maister would continue his streak of outstanding performances. From then on, he saw top 6 placements at every tournament he attended aside from {{Trn|Mainstage}}, including 3rd at the S-tiers {{Trn|The Big House 9}} and {{Trn|2GG: Kongo Saga}}. His impressive runs helped change the perception on Mr. Game & Watch, with players now considering the character to be a high tier, at the cost of gaining a negative reputation as a masher. Despite this, his performance would be rewarded at the end of the season where he was ranked 6th on the [[Fall 2019 PGRU]]. | Even after he got the short end of the stick in the first season, Maister was still determined to prove himself in the second season.
