In ''[[ | He was a notoriously vocal proponent of doubles play, considering it superior to singles play. He often preached about the necessity of true team work and team spacing in doubles, while denouncing the "separate 1v1 battles" that often occur when those inexperienced in doubles teaming.

Despite preferring and often doing better in doubles, however, Mekos usually placed very well in singles, especially for using a low tiered character. His breakout performance came at {{b|SKTAR|tournament}}, where he defeated top Falco {{Sm|Pelca}}, defeated one of the best {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}s in the world in {{Sm|Tyrant}}, and defeating one of the best European and Wario players in {{Sm|Glutonny}}, before losing to {{Sm|Trela}} in winners quarterfinals, and losing to Tyrant in losers, overall securing a 9th placing (the highest a player placed with a low tier in a national tournament since {{Sm|San}} got 9th with the then low tier {{SSBB|Ike}} at [[Apex 2010]]). | ||
