Though he was ranked as the best player in 2021, this title did not carry into the the first half of the following year, which saw Mango's worst streak of performances in his entire career: for the entire [[MPGR Summer 2022]] season, he was only able to place top 8 at one major. He especially was the victim of one of the largest upsets of the current era, where as the first seed at {{Trn|GENESIS 8}} he lost to the 64th seed {{Sm|Fizzwiggle}}. Though he had some decent performances towards the end of the half-year season, it was not enough to salvage how underwhelming most of it was. As such, Mango was ranked 11th on the [[MPGR Summer 2022]], the first time he was ranked outside the top 10 since modern ranking began. | Though he was ranked as the best player in 2021, this title did not carry into the the first half of the following year, which saw Mango's worst streak of performances in his entire career: for the entire [[MPGR Summer 2022]] season, he was only able to place top 8 at one major.

This ranking | This ranking infuriated Mango, who let off his anger by winning {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2022}}, double-eliminating {{Sm|Hungrybox}} along the way; his victory speech included an angry rant towards the SSBMRank panelists, which has since become infamous in the community. This event marked a major turn in Mango's season, as he returned to form for the rest of the year by once again placing top 8 regularly at majors, including winning three other majors: {{Trn|Lost Tech City 2022}}, {{Trn|Smash Summit 14}}, and {{Trn|Mainstage 2022}}. As such, Mango quickly went from being just outside the top 10 to being a leading contender for the #2 position. | ||
Unfortunately, the [[SSBMRank 2022]] ultimately awarded the #2 position to {{Sm|aMSa}}, who also had an explosion of incredible performances in the second half of the year where he had a historic win at {{Trn|The Big House 10}}, double-eliminated Mango along the way, before winning two other majors, including {{Trn|Scuffed World Tour}} where he defeated Mango once again. Though Mango was still ranked #3 in the world, he remained disappointed in his final placement, and eventually used the rankings as a scapegoat to sandbag at {{Trn|GENESIS 9}} with {{SSBM|Dr. Mario}}, where he ultimately lost to {{Sm|Taj}}'s {{SSBM|Mewtwo}} 2-3 and {{Sm|Matteo}} 1-3 to place 97th, by far his worst performance outside of forfeits. His performance led to backlash in the ''Melee'' community, with many accusing Mango of unsportsmanlike behavior. Mango eventually revealed that he had been losing motivation for the game to the point where he saw a sports therapist in the previous year and announced a months-long hiatus from competition. | Unfortunately, the [[SSBMRank 2022]] ultimately awarded the #2 position to {{Sm|aMSa}}, who also had an explosion of incredible performances in the second half of the year where he had a historic win at {{Trn|The Big House 10}}, double-eliminated Mango along the way, before winning two other majors, including {{Trn|Scuffed World Tour}} where he defeated Mango once again.
