I tend to prefer adding to tournament history sections at the end of the season/when rankings come out, as it's easier to look back and sum up a player's overall season then. In the meantime, I'm going to draft up what I'll likely put into these sections.
==Disputed majors==
The following tournaments may be recognized as majors by some credible sources, however their status as majors are disputed by the wiki. Namely, these are events tiered A-tier/Category 4 by the [[PGR]], [[OrionRank]] (Eclipse-2022), and [[LumiRank]], but are disputed due to issues with the respective rankings' TTS, retroactive retiering efforts that use the LumiRank algorithm instead, or lacking something that would have made it consistent with other tournaments that the wiki recognizes as a major, such as the number of top 20 and 50 players in attendance. Likewise, events identified as majors by other credible sources, such as [[Liquipedia]], close votes during our [[Talk:List of major tournaments (SSBU)#Major reclassification results|major reclassification efforts]], or any credible retro rankings such as [https://x.com/EazyFreezie/status/1777070908428922893 EasyFreezie's re-tiering efforts] may also appear on the list. '''This section should not be confused with tournaments that have been incorrectly referred to as majors with little credibility.'''


==Sparg0==
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align:center"
However, even with all of his success within the last year, Sparg0 struggled with his mental health. As a result, on June 20th, he announced his hiatus, which he initially declared was indefinite.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1ss2god|title=Sparg0's hiatus}}</ref> During the next few months, the meta saw some major changes. In particular, around the time of his hiatus there was a surge of {{SSBU|Steve}} results, largely due to acola's continued strong performances which included his victory at The Gimvitational, as well as {{Sm|Onin}}'s victory at {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2022}}, where he decisively defeated several top players including MkLeo, Glutonny, and {{Sm|Maister}}. Furthermore, players in contention for the best player of the year continued to fight for the spot in Sparg0's absence, and as a result players began leaving Sparg0 out of the conversation.

Although Sparg0 did attend a couple of regional and locals during his hiatus, he didn't return to top level play until he was invited to {{Trn|Smash Ultimate Summit 5}} in September. However, he was somewhat rusty in his initial few appearances. At Summit, Sparg0 ultimately placed 7th, with his only top 10 win being Glutonny. Sparg0 faired better at the {{Trn|Ludwig Smash Invitational}}, the most difficult invitational up to that point, where he qualified for the final bracket after going 3-1 in his Swiss Pools, notably showing his confidence in the Steve matchup by defeating Onin and losing only to {{Sm|Shuton}}. Although he was sent to the loser bracket early by {{Sm|Kurama}}, Sparg0 saw an impressive loser's run defeating {{Sm|Dabuz}}, {{Sm|Riddles}}, {{Sm|Sonix}}, and Shuton, but ultimately fell to acola following an unfortunate SD at the start of the final game. Even with this run, however, Sparg0 only managed to bring himself back into the conversation for top 5 as two players stood in his way: MkLeo, who despite underperforming at Super Smash Con and Summit, dominated the Ludwig Smash Invitational; and acola, who in addition to his continued dominance in Japan, placed 2nd at the invitational as well as claiming victory at the supermajor {{Trn|Let's Make Moves Miami}}. In order for Sparg0 to get back into the conversation, he'd need to derust quickly, as the end of the season was starting to close in, and with the cancellation of the {{Trn|Smash World Tour 2022}} and the postponement of the {{Trn|Panda Cup}}, only two major tournaments remained for Sparg0: {{Trn|Mainstage 2022}}, a supermajor which saw many SWT-qualified players in attendance, and Ludwig's second invitational the {{Trn|Scuffed World Tour}}. Sparg0 would need to see strong performances at both if he were to reclaim his former glory.

Just a list I want to put up. Not sure if there would be much support, or whether the reclassification candidates should be included.
Despite facing a bit of trouble early on, Sparg0 easily made it into top 8 at Mainstage 2022. Unfortunately, a headset malfunction knocked him out of the groove, leading to Sparg0's 3-0 defeat by Tweek. This setback did not hinder his run, however, as after switching out his headset Sparg0 made yet another loser's run, defeating Kurama, Light, and {{Sm|Big D}} to face Tweek once again in grand finals. Despite coming close, Tweek failed to reverse 3-0 Sparg0 as the bracket was reset, and Sparg0 ultimately defeated Tweek 3-2 in the reset, claiming his first major victory since Low Tide City. Not only did he avenge his devastating loss at the previous Mainstage, but Mainstage ultimately became Sparg0's comeback tournament. With acola's underperformance at {{Trn|Seibugeki 12}} that weekend, many players once again began considering Sparg0 for the #2 spot.

However, if he were to strengthen this argument, he'd have to see a strong performance at the Scuffed World Tour. In Sparg0's predicted bracket he had to face {{Sm|Miya|p=Honshu}}, Japan's other rising star, as well as acola. Despite having experience from fighting Maister, Miya prove challenging for Sparg0 as he was ultimately down 2-1 against him. Sparg0, however, managed to squeeze out a win with the Aegis. In the following match, despite Sparg0's confidence in the matchup, he quickly realized that acola was still in peak shape, and their set once again went to game 5. However, Sparg0 did not SD this time, and ultimately won the runback and moved on in the winner's bracket where, instead of MkLeo, he had to face Tweek yet again. Sparg0 ultimately cleaned up Tweek, both in their winner final's set and their grand final's set, winning the invitational.

Sparg0's performance in December blew away expectations. Not only was he able to win two major tournaments back-to-back, but he did so as if he had never left before, winning runbacks against players who had defeated him during his rusty period, and proving that he was still one of the best despite returning in a new meta. His run at these two tournaments marked a strong end to the season, as Sparg0 ultimately edged out acola for the year-long ranking to reclaim his #2 position.

Disputed majors[edit]

The following tournaments may be recognized as majors by some credible sources, however their status as majors are disputed by the wiki. Namely, these are events tiered A-tier/Category 4 by the PGR, OrionRank (Eclipse-2022), and LumiRank, but are disputed due to issues with the respective rankings' TTS, retroactive retiering efforts that use the LumiRank algorithm instead, or lacking something that would have made it consistent with other tournaments that the wiki recognizes as a major, such as the number of top 20 and 50 players in attendance. Likewise, events identified as majors by other credible sources, such as Liquipedia, close votes during our major reclassification efforts, or any credible retro rankings such as EasyFreezie's re-tiering efforts may also appear on the list. This section should not be confused with tournaments that have been incorrectly referred to as majors with little credibility.
