However, at [[Smash 'N' Splash 5]], Mango was sent to loser's early by aMSa again, and was 3-1'd by Leffen in top 8 loser's, getting just 7th. His next tournament was [[Smash Summit 8]], where he looked strong in pools, emerging 3-0 and the 1st seed after swiss, notably defeating former demon Zain as well as Plup. However, he was immediately sent to loser's by Axe, where he was defeated by rising star {{Sm|iBDW}}, placing him 9th, his first finish outside of top 8 since [[Smash Summit Spring 2017]]. Despite a major victory, his continued inconsistency had him repeat his previous ranking at 5th on the [[Summer 2019 MPGR|Summer 2019 Melee PGR]]. | However, at [[Smash 'N' Splash 5]], Mango was sent to loser's early by aMSa again, and was 3-1'd by Leffen in top 8 loser's, getting just 7th.

Mango's summer would prove equally disappointing. At [[Low Tier City 7]], Mango would fall to his old demon Zain again, before being eliminated in 4th by Hungrybox. At [[Super Smash Con 2019]], Mango would lose again to Zain, pitting him against his new demon aMSa. After losing games 1 and 3, he switched to Fox to win game 4, but was defeated in game 5, giving him his 3rd loss to aMSa this year and placing him at 9th, outside of top 8 yet again. At [[Smash Camp: End of Summer]], Mango lost to Zain for the 3rd tournament in a row, before being dispatched by {{Sm|Spark}}, getting 5th place.

Then, at arguably his most disappointing tournament this year, Mango would lose to {{Sm|ARMY}} at [[Mainstage]], and would be beaten by his long time friend {{Sm|Lucky}} for the first time ever in tournament, getting just 13th. At this point, Mango looked like a shell of his former self, having failed to win, or even place top 3, all summer and losing to a multitude of different players and characters. | ||
Going into [[The Big House 9]], Mango was seeded just 6th due to his paltry recent results. He started strong, defeating {{Sm|Fiction}} before losing to Leffen in Winner's Semis, pitting him against Hungrybox for 5th. However, Mango shocked the world by coming out strong, 3-1'ing the #1 player and eliminating Hungrybox at 5th. Next, he faced Fiction in a runback from Winner's, and although Fiction looked strong, being up 2-1, Mango took game 4 and narrowly won a nail-biter game 5 set where he made an amazing comeback. In Loser's Finals, he again faced Leffen, who also went up 2-1 before Mango narrowly won game 4 and then pulled away in game 5 to reach Grands against his demon Zain.

At [[Rising Stars at EGLX 2019]], Mango would lose to {{Sm|n0ne}} in Winner's, marking his first loss to a Captain Falcon player in over a decade. He was subsequently eliminated by Hungrybox for 5th. However, at [[Mango's Birthday Bash]], his own birthday tournament, Mango would come out swinging, defeating n0ne, Zain, the red-hot Hax, and then Hungrybox without dropping a set, taking his 3rd major. Due to periods of extreme inconsistency but having 3 major victories, Mango was ranked 3rd on the [[2019 MPGR|2019 Melee PGR]]. | At [[Rising Stars at EGLX 2019]], Mango would lose to {{Sm|n0ne}} in Winner's, marking his first loss to a Captain Falcon player in over a decade.
