However, a few factors ultimately kept him out of the number one spot. For one, despite his absurd consistency Light was only able to win one major/supermajor event -- {{Trn|MomoCon 2022}}. Conversely, both Sparg0 and MkLeo saw multiple major and supermajor wins, some of which were the most important events of the year. In addition, the summer saw the debut of {{Sm|acola}} on the national scene, and Fox was known to struggle against acola's main {{SSBU|Steve}}. This was showcased in their sets: Light ultimately went 3-1 against acola, while acola notably kept Light from winning {{Trn|The Gimvitational}}. Due to those two factors, Light was ultimately ranked 4th on both the [[UltRank 2022]] and the [[OrionRank 2022]], behind the three players; although not what he wanted, this was still Light's best placement to date. | However, a few factors ultimately kept him out of the number one spot.

The beginning of 2023 continued Light's strong results from the previous year, with him most notably winning the major {{Trn|LVL UP EXPO 2023}}. However, his results began to noticeably falter after the major win: out of the nine major and supermajor events Light attended after LVL UP EXPO that year, Light only placed top 8 at three of them -- {{Trn|Get On My Level 2023}}, {{Trn|Tera}}, and {{Trn|Port Priority 8}}. Conversely, he also saw some of the worst performances since 2019, which includes placing 25th at {{Trn|Luminosity Makes Moves Miami 2023}} losing to {{Sm|WebbJP}} and {{Sm|ApolloKage}}, tying {{Trn|Shine 2019}} as his worst placement at an ''Ultimate'' major. In addition, he was no longer considered the uncontested best player in the United States as he began trading more sets with Tweek, who began seeing a resurgence in late-2022, and Zomba -- who saw an explosion of top-level results in mid-2023. Not helping his situation was issues in his personal life, which took his attention out of competition. | The beginning of 2023 continued Light's strong results from the previous year, with him most notably winning the major {{Trn|LVL UP EXPO 2023}}.

Luckily, he also still had a lot going for him that helped keep his season afloat. For one, almost every player in the top 10 that year saw some notable underperformances, and compared to some of them, Light still came out of the year rather easily. In addition, Light still had a major win under his belt for the season, which helped him greatly as top level play became increasingly dominant by four players as the year went on. Finally, Light ended the year with a positive record against two of the four dominant players: Sparg0 and {{Sm|Sonix}}. As such despite the noticeable dips, his highs still allowed him to be ranked in the top 10, ranking 6th on both the [[LumiRank Mid-Year 2023]] and the [[LumiRank 2023]]. | Luckily, he also still had a lot going for him that helped keep his season afloat.

The [[LumiRank 2024.1]] Season saw Light performing well. His first event of the year, {{Trn|Luminosity Makes BIG Moves 2024}}, wasn't the best performance, seeing him placing 7th, going game 5 against Smub and losing to WebbJP, as well as Sparg0. Light's record against Sparg0, someone who he had become a bracket demon against in 2023, saw a turnaround as Sparg0 continued to beat him at every event they played at. Light had a decent run at {{Trn|GENESIS X}}, falling to 5th as he lost to Sparg0 and Tweek. However, his real standout event was at {{Trn|Litvitational 3}}, where, despite a loss to BMP in pools, he took the event home with wins over Shuton, Lima, and Zomba, and notably ended the event by defeating Miya twice after losing to him in Winners Semis, beating his Steve in a Matchup which is usually considered difficult for Fox, even defeating Miya's GNW for the sole game it was used. However, he immediately followed it up with one of his worst performances of the season at {{Trn|Cirque Du CFL 3}}, losing to Applewiz, who ended up unranked, as well as Shuton for 17th. The rest of the season ended badly as aside from Collision, Light would not place top at 8 at another major for the season, and took bad losses to players such as ChunkyKong and Kobe. As such, a combination of bad losses and some shaky placements at MomoCon and Cirque contributed to him to dropping in the rankings, but his major win, multiple top 8s of Supermajors, and overall decent record against Top 20 and 50 players allowed him to remain within the top 10. | |||
