Despite high placements at majors and in-region, Onin still lacked any globally-ranked wins. This began to change following Glitch - Infinite, as Onin began to win almost every event they attended. These strings of wins included the superregionals {{Trn|Combo Breaker 2022}} and {{Trn|COST 2022}}, where Onin not only won without dropping a set, but saw them defeat several notable names including {{Sm|Ned}}, {{Sm|MVD}}, and {{Sm|WaDi}} in the former and {{Sm|Dark Wizzy}}, {{Sm|IcyMist}}, and {{Sm|Elegant}} in the latter. Their dominance at a regional level, including wins over several top 50 players, helped Onin debut at 65th on the [[OrionRank Mid-Year 2022]]. | Despite high placements at majors and in-region, Onin still lacked any globally-ranked wins.

This victory streak culminated in Onin's performances in the summer, specifically at the major {{Trn|Get On My Level 2022}} and the supermajor {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2022}}. In the former tournament, they defeated top players {{Sm|Kola}}, {{Sm|Riddles}}, and {{Sm|Big D}} twice to win the event, making them one of the youngest players to win an ''Ultimate'' major at just 16 years old, as well as the only North American Steve player to win a major. In the latter tournament, they notoriously dominated {{Sm|MkLeo}} 3-0, which included a three-stock in the final game, and tore through the rest of the bracket, including Riddles, {{Sm|Glutonny}}, and {{Sm|Maister}} twice to win the event. These two victories established Onin as not just the best player from the Midwest region, but one of the best players from the United States as a whole.

In addition, some players believed that, at the pace they was going, Onin could potentially become one of the best players in the world by the end of the year. | ||
Unfortunately, Onin would ultimately fail to win another major for the rest of the year.

Their best major wins during this time still saw them reach the top 3: they cruised through their bracket at {{Trn|The Big House 10}} but was reverse 3-0d by Riddles before ultimately losing to {{Sm|Light|p=Connecticut}} to place 3rd. They saw another chance at winning a major event after making it to Grand Finals on Winner's side at {{Trn|Let's Make Moves Miami}}. However, they were seamlessly dispatched by fellow {{SSBU|Steve}} player {{Sm|acola}} 6-0, which also notably saw Onin play other characters for three of the games. On the other hand, Onin also saw some lows, most notably at the supermajor {{Trn|Mainstage}}, where they lost to Maister and {{Sm|Kurama}} to place 9th; and at the invitational major {{Trn|Scuffed World Tour}}, where they went 2-2 after falling to {{Sm|Miya|p=Honshu}} and Light. The lows, as well as their weak start of the season, held them back from coming close to the #1 position. However, they were ultimately still ranked top 10, ranking 6th at the half-year ranking [[UltRank 2022]] and 10th on the [[OrionRank 2022]]. | ||

After an explosive year, the following year saw Onin's results slowly begin to mellow out. Although they continued to dominate the Midwest region, their major results suffered a noticeable drop overall as they failed to place top 16 at most of them. This included {{Trn|Let's Make Big Moves 2023}}, where they were upset by {{Sm|SHADIC}} and {{Sm|enhancedpv}} to place 25th; and {{Trn|Battle of BC 5}}, where they lost their runback to {{Sm|Miya|p=Honshu}} and | After an explosive year, the following year saw Onin's results slowly begin to mellow out.

They did see a strong performance at the supermajor {{Trn|Crown the Third}}, where they defeated players such as {{Sm|Maister}}, {{Sm|Gackt}}, and {{Sm|Tweek}} but was double-eliminated by {{Sm|Jakal}} to place 4th. However, this single strong event wasn't enough to save the rest of Onin's first half of the year, and they saw a noticeable drop to 30th on the [[LumiRank Mid-Year 2023]]. | ||
Following continued harassment and death threats due to their choice of character, which previously had led to Onin deactivating their [[Twitter]] account, Onin decided to take a step back from competition,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ssbwiki.com/File:Onin_break_tweet.png|title=Onin taking a break}}</ref> which saw them appear at less events. As it stands, Onin remains as the best player in the Midwest due to their dominance at the Midwest events they attended, which included a victory at the superregional {{Trn|The Big House 11}}. However, their resume at larger events outside their region was not as impressive, including their mediocre 33rd at the supermajor {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2023}} losing to {{Sm|Marss}} and {{Sm|Lui$}} and 13th at the superregional {{Trn|Santa Paws}} losing to {{Sm|omega}} and {{Sm|Jakal}}. Due to this, Onin's slipped to 43rd on the [[LumiRank 2023]]. | Following continued harassment and death threats due to their choice of character, which previously had led to Onin deactivating their [[Twitter]] account, Onin decided to take a step back from competition,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ssbwiki.com/File:Onin_break_tweet.png|title=Onin taking a break}}</ref> which saw them appear at less events.
