On a national level, he gained international recognition for defeating {{Sm|Ally}}, the second-best player in the world at that time, twice to claim victory at {{Trn|Bushido Brawl Impact}} in 2010. He only made one appearance outside of his home country - {{Trn|SKTAR}} in 2012. Although he placed a respectable 17th, he claimed victory over "Captain {{Sm|Atomsk}}," one of the best {{SSBB|King Dedede}} players in the world, in a best-of-5 money match. Despite these accomplishments, he was not ranked on any iteration of the [[SSBBRank]] due to not attending any tournaments in America in 2013 or 2014. | On a national level, he gained international recognition for defeating {{Sm|Ally}}, the second-best player in the world at that time, twice to claim victory at {{Trn|Bushido Brawl Impact}} in 2010.

{{forwiiu}} released in Europe in November 2014, and | {{forwiiu}} released in Europe in November 2014, and for the first few years of the game's competitive lifespan Glutonny's tournament activity remained mostly in France. He continued to play {{SSB4|Wario}} despite the character's nerfs from ''Brawl'', and despite seeing frequent top 2 placements in his country, he failed to make any notable impact on the larger European scale. In fact, he often fell to Europe's best players at that time, including losing to {{Sm|J.Miller}} at [https://challonge.com/MARS2016SingleWiiU Mars 2016], being double eliminated by {{Sm|Mr.R}} at [https://gameslines.challonge.com/CWC2016Smash4Top32 Cannes Winter Clash 2016], and being double eliminated by {{Sm|IxisNaugus}} at {{Trn|Neokan Party 2}}. Even in France, he was often competing for the top position with other players, first with {{Sm|Phogos}}, then with {{Sm|Elexiao}} following Phogos's declining activity. Nevertheless, his consistently strong placements in tournaments led many to consider him a hidden boss, which he prove with his 5th place finish at {{Trn|Syndicate 2016}}, defeating J.Miller and {{Sm|S1}} along the way. | ||
It wouldn't be until {{Trn|Smashdown World}} in November 2016 when Glutonny had his first big break in the wider scene. Entering the tournament as the 10th seed, Glutonny surprised the competitive scene by defeating {{Sm|kameme}} 2-1, and following it up with a 3-2 victory over {{Sm|ANTi}}. Although he fell to {{Sm|komorikiri}} and ANTi in the runback to place 3rd, Glutonny had outplaced every European player in the tournament, and was also the only European who defeated a foreign invader. This performance was impressive not only because of his victories over {{Trn|EVO 2016}}'s runner-up and {{Trn|CEO 2016}}'s champion, but also because it was done with Wario, a character that had been falling off in the metagame. With this performance, many players began considering Glutonny as the best Wario player in the world. | |||
Following | 2017 was overall a slow but steady rise for Glutonny. Following a mediocre 9th place finish at {{Trn|BEAST 7}} after being upset by {{Sm|M}} and {{Sm|KillerJawz}}, Glutonny attended the heavily-stacked {{Trn|2GGC: Civil War}}, his first international appearance since 2012. However, he underperformed at the tournament and place 65th, his worst placement in any offline ''Smash'' tournament to date. Despite these setbacks, Glutonny achieved new career highs, notably placed 1st at {{Trn|MARS 2017}} by double-eliminating {{Sm|Fatality}}, and claimed victory at his first national-level event at {{Trn|Albion 2}}, the second-largest European ''Smash 4'' tournament. With strong performances in several other tournaments that were outside France, people began to see Glutonny as the second-best European player behind {{Sm|Mr.R}}. | ||
==='' | ===Europe's rising star=== | ||
=== | Following his victory at {{Trn|Valhalla}} in 2018, Glutonny secured a trip to {{Trn|Midwest Mayhem 11}}. Unlike Civil War, Glutonny had a rather impressive run and notably won a nail-biting game 5 against {{Sm|Darkshad}}, ultimately placed 9th. He followed that tournament up with {{Trn|Get On My Level 2018}}, his first appearance at a Canadian tournament, where he placed 13th, defeating Fatality again as well as {{Sm|DSS}}. His final notable appearance in America would be at {{Trn|Glitch 5}}, where he defeated {{Sm|Pink Fresh}} en route to a 3rd place finish, his best placement at a non-European event up to that point. Back in Europe, Glutonny used signature Wario, {{SSB4|Cloud}}, and even {{SSB4|Donkey Kong}} to dominate the continent for the rest of ''Smash 4''{{'}}s lifespan, placing 1st at almost every tournament he attended, including the [[Tournament:European Smash 4 Pro Circuit Invitational Final Event|finale]] of the {{Trn|European Smash 4 Pro Circuit}}. His achievements outside of Europe and victories over several top 50 players cemented Glutonny as a player capable of making the PGR, and by the end of the year, Glutonny was ranked 70th on [[PGR 100|Panda Global's ranking of the 100 best ''Smash 4'' players of all time]], the second-highest European player on the ranking. | ||
===Europe's best player=== | |||
Thanks to the buffs Wario gained from his transition, Glutonny dominated the European scene throughout the beginning ''Ultimate''{{'}}s competitive lifespan. From the beginning of the game up to October 2021, Glutonny won every offline European tournament he attended aside from {{Trn|Stunfest 2019}}, the weekly Smash4Glory #6, {{Trn|Ultimate Fighting Arena 2019}}, {{Trn|VCA 2019}}, and {{Trn|Temple: Hermès Edition}}; in the four tournaments, he fell to players outside of Europe: {{Sm|Shuton}} for the weekly, {{Sm|MkLeo}} for the next three, and {{Sm|Tea}} for Temple. As a result of this performance, he was ranked 1st on the [[European Smash Rankings]] in 2020. | Thanks to the buffs Wario gained from his transition, Glutonny dominated the European scene throughout the beginning ''Ultimate''{{'}}s competitive lifespan.

As a result of this performance, he was ranked 1st on the [[European Smash Rankings]] in 2020. | ||
On an international level, however, Glutonny had a shaky start. Although he came into {{Trn|GENESIS 6}} with high hopes, he was knocked into loser's bracket right before top 64 by {{Sm|ImHip}} in a set that started a brief struggle against {{SSBU|Olimar}}. He made a respectable loser's run, notably defeating {{Sm|Marss}} along the way, before falling to {{Sm|Tweek}} in Losers Round 4, placing 17th. At his next American appearance, {{Trn|2GG: Prime Saga}}, he fell to {{Sm|Zan}} right before top 128. He once again made another respectable Loser's run, defeating {{Sm|T}} along the way, but fell to {{Sm|Light|p=Connecticut}} just outside of top 8. Although these placements were fantastic, they were nevertheless somewhat underwhelming for a player who dominated the European scene. | On an international level, however, Glutonny had a shaky start.

Although these placements were fantastic, they were nevertheless somewhat underwhelming for a player who dominated the European scene. | ||
His last two major tournaments | His last two major tournaments finally showcased his true potential. At {{Trn|CEO 2019}}, he defeated top American players such as {{Sm|Cosmos}} and {{Sm|WaDi}} en route to a 5th place finish, his first top 8 placement at an American tournament. Although Glutonny developed a bracket demon in {{Sm|Dabuz}}, who he fell to twice at the tournament, he overcame it at {{Trn|Albion 4}}, the final major tournament of the first season. Glutonny ran through the entire tournament without dropping a set until Grand Finals, where Dabuz reset the bracket. Despite this, Glutonny defeated Dabuz in the second set, successfully defending his home continent to the elation of European players in attendance. For his continued success in Europe as well as a solid performance on a national level that culminated in his victory at Albion 4, Glutonny was ranked 14th on the [[Spring 2019 PGRU]], the highest-placing European on the ranking. | ||
The second season | The second season brought even more success to Glutonny. Throughout the season, he placed in the top 8 for every tournament he attended aside from {{Trn|Mainstage}}, including a 3rd place at {{Trn|EVO 2019}} - the largest tournament of the season - and 5th place at {{Trn|2GG: Kongo Saga}}, where his Wario ditto with Tweek was acclaimed for bringing out the true potential of top-level competitive play in ''Ultimate''. Furthermore, he was one of 3 players to take more than one set off of MkLeo, doing so at Ultimate Fighting Arena 2019 and VCA 2019. Although he developed an additional bracket demon in Tweek, his consistent performance on a national level as well his continued dominance in Europe allowed him to rise up to 8th on the [[Fall 2019 PGRU]], making him the second European player after {{Sm|Mr.R}} to be ranked in the top 10 on a [[Panda Global Rankings]] power ranking. | ||
After having his best season yet, Glutonny began the third season with similar success, placing 7th at the first major of the season, {{Trn|GENESIS 7}}, where he infamously defeated {{Sm|Nairo}} with a zero-to-death waft combo in the final game. Despite placing 17th at {{Trn|Frostbite 2020}}, players were anticipating great things from Europe's best player. However, the [[COVID-19|COVID-19 pandemic]] halted the momentum as offline competitive play was completely shut down. Glutonny made the transition online alongside many other top players, however he entered many tournaments playing secondaries such as {{SSBU|Wolf}} and {{SSBU|Donkey Kong}}. Although it led to a couple of mediocre results, notably a 129th-place finish at {{Trn|Pound Online}}, he nevertheless still performed well, particularly during the [[WWR v7|seventh Wi-Fi Warrior Rank season]], where despite being affected by region-locks he was ranked in the Area 51 position. | After having his best season yet, Glutonny began the third season with similar success, placing 7th at the first major of the season, {{Trn|GENESIS 7}}, where he infamously defeated {{Sm|Nairo}} with a zero-to-death waft combo in the final game.

===Cracks in his dominance=== | |||
During the online period, Wario lost some of his notorious waft conversions in Patch 11.0.0, leading many players to dismiss Wario as a shell of his former self. With the offline period returning, players were wondering whether Glutonny would be as dominant in Europe as he was before due to the nerfs and Glutonny treating the online metagame less seriously. Glutonny erased all of these doubts by continuing his dominance as if nothing had happened; throughout 2021, Glutonny won 12 tournaments with over 100 entrants. He placed first at {{Trn|Ultimate WANTED 3}}, his first national victory in over a year, as well as 2nd at {{Trn|Temple: Hermès Edition}}, where despite being sent to Loser's early by {{Sm|AndresFn}}, he made a grueling Loser's run and defeated European invaders such as {{Sm|LeoN}} and {{Sm|KEN}} before falling to {{Sm|Tea}}. Internationally, Glutonny placed 9th at {{Trn|Mainstage}}, 3-0ing {{Sm|ESAM}} despite high hopes for the player, and nearly won {{Trn|CEO 2021}} but was ultimately double-eliminated by {{Sm|Kola}}. | During the online period, Wario lost some of his notorious waft conversions in Patch 11.0.0, leading many players to dismiss Wario as a shell of his former self.

This period, however, wasn't without its downsides, as Glutonny's hold on the European scene began to crack. The first crack was at {{Trn|Helios Session 3}} in July, where he was double-eliminated by {{Sm|Nitox}}, placing 3rd; this loss, however, was overlooked by many players due to the nature of the tournament and Glutonny's choice to sandbag as {{SSBU|Marth}} for its entirety. The second crack was at the weekly [https://start.gg/tournament/d-jo-7/details Dōjo #7] in October, where he was double-eliminated by {{Sm|Raflow}}, marking the first time Glutonny failed to win a European tournament while playing Wario. The final crack in that year was at {{Trn|VCA 2021}} in November, where Glutonny was upset by {{Sm|Tropped}} before Top 64 and was defeated by {{Sm|Peli}} in Grand Finals, marking the first European national that a European other than Glutonny won. Glutonny's final notable tournament of 2021 was also an underperformance. At the {{Trn|Smash World Tour 2021 Championships}}, he barely made it out of his round robin pools after being upset by {{Sm|BassMage}} and {{Sm|Tilde}}, and lost to his bracket demon {{Sm|Shuton}} in the Championship Bracket, ultimately placing 13th.

Despite these shortcomings, players still believed Glutonny was a top 10 player worldwide, and he was ranked 1st (in the S+ tier) on the [[PGRUContenders Europe]] and 9th on the [[OrionRank Ultimate: Eclipse]]. | ||
=== | ===Rise internationally, decline domestically=== | ||
Despite having a weaker year than before, many people still expected a lot from Glutonny in 2022. His initial results, however, were not promising. Glutonny's hold on Europe continued to falter, as in the first quarter of 2022, he failed to win a single European tournament. Despite being smaller tournaments than {{Trn|GENESIS 6}} and {{Trn|Frostbite 2020}}, Glutonny tied his worst placement at two WANTED super regionals: [[Tournament:WANTED S4 C3 - Saint Valentin Edition|Saint Valentin Edition]] and [[Tournament:WANTED S4 C4 - Free Agent Edition|Free Agent Edition]]. His performances internationally were also rather disappointing: despite finishing top 12 at both {{Trn|Glitch - Infinite}} and {{Trn|Collision 2022}}, Glutonny gathered no wins over players that were considered top 20. | Despite having a weaker year than before, many people still expected a lot from Glutonny in 2022.

And he certainly had it in him, as following a trip to Mexico where he practiced with MkLeo, he started seeing his best performances yet. His first major was the Mexican invitational {{Trn|Delfino Maza RETA 2022}}, where despite being upset in Round Robin pools by {{Sm|AlanDiss}}, he took out both {{Sm|Maister}} and {{Sm|Sparg0}} before falling to MkLeo and Sparg0 in the runback, placing 3rd. His second major was {{Trn|GENESIS 8}}, where not only did he defeat Light and Sparg0 yet again, but also {{Sm|Kola}} and {{Sm|Zomba}}, players who had defeated him earlier in the season. Unfortunately, his incredible run was cut short by MkLeo, who easily defeated him prior to top 8 and in Grand Finals. However, Glutonny got his revenge the following week at his third major, {{Trn|Pound 2022}}, where he defeated MkLeo for the second time that season en route to his path to Grand Finals. Although MkLeo defeated him 3-1 in the first set of Grand Finals, which included a three-stock in the final game, Glutonny held on and defeated MkLeo in the second set, claiming his first major victory at an American tournament. Although the rest of his season was weak in comparison - including yet another 17th-place after going 1-2 at {{Trn|e-Caribana}} - his path in April, which included defeating bracket demons, rising stars, and familiar foes, and culminating in his victory at Pound, erased any doubts on Glutonny's abilities as a player; for the first half of the year, he was ranked 6th on the [[OrionRank Mid-Year 2022]], 3rd on the [[PGRU v3 NA]], and 1st on the [[PGRU v3 EU]]. | And he certainly had it in him, as following a trip to Mexico where he practiced with MkLeo, he started seeing his best performances yet.

The second half of the year saw continued success internationally, with Glutonny placing 4th at {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2022}} and 5th at {{Trn|Smash Ultimate Summit 5}}. He not only continued his winning streak over MkLeo, who he defeated at both tournaments, but also took his first ever set over {{Sm|Tweek}} in the former tournament, and improved his head-to-head against {{Sm|Sparg0}} and {{Sm|Dabuz}}. Although his performance at the {{Trn|Ludwig Smash Invitational}} and {{Trn|Scuffed World Tour}} were not as hot, he nevertheless had decent runs, defeating Tweek again in the former and rising star {{Sm|Miya|p=Honshu}} in the latter. Despite these positives, Glutonny continued to falter against his bracket demon Shuton and gained a new bracket demon in the form of {{Sm|Sonix}}, who defeated him twice at Ludwig Smash Invitational. | |||
Domestically, however, Glutonny's position on Europe's throne had fallen. For the rest of the season, he failed to win a single tournament aside from a few locals and {{Trn|Shonen WAR 1}}. In addition, Glutonny gained yet another bracket demon in the form of {{Sm|Bloom4Eva}}, who eliminated Glutonny at {{Trn|COLOSSEL 2022}} and double-eliminated him at {{Trn|VCA 2022}}; Bloom4Eva's continued success in Europe and record over Glutonny led many to consider Bloom4Eva as the new best player in Europe. Finally, Glutonny saw yet another poor run at the invitational {{Trn|L'Odyssée - Chant I}}, where he went 1-2, losing to {{Sm|Mr.R}} and {{Sm|Gackt}} and failed to make it out of his Round Robin. He did, however, have one notable performance at {{Trn|Ultimate Fighting Arena 2022}}, where after falling to {{Sm|HIKARU}}'s {{SSBU|Donkey Kong}}, Glutonny made a strong loser's run, defeating Bloom4Eva for the first time and winning the runback against HIKARU to face {{Sm|Tea}} in Grand Finals. Glutonny adopted a more patient playstyle than usual, allowing him to go up 2-0, however, Tea switched to {{SSBU|Kazuya}} and defeated Glutonny in a reverse 3-0. Nevertheless, this was arguably a brief return to form for Glutonny in Europe. | |||
Overall, Glutonny's lukewarm results in Europe brought down his entire season, and he was ultimately ranked 15th on the [[UltRank 2022|inaugural UltRank]], which ranked players from the second half of the year. However, thanks to his outstanding performance in April as well his decent record against some top 10 players, Glutonny was ultimately ranked 9th on the [[OrionRank 2022]], which ranked his performance for the entire year. | |||

Glutonny is a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Wario player from France who is one of the best players in Europe, was widely considered the best player in Europe from 2019 to 2021, and is the best Wario player in the world. He is currently ranked in the Area 51 position on the Wi-Fi Warrior Rank v7, 1st on the French Ultimate Power Rankings, European Smash Rankings, and the OrionRank 2022 Europe, 9th on the OrionRank 2022, and 15th on the UltRank 2022.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Glutonny was already a Wario main and was considered as a prodigy and the best Wario in Europe. Glutonny had notable wins over players such as Ally, Leon, Kaos, Bjay, cyve and Bloodcross.
In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, he also played Wario, and was considered the best Smash 4 Wario player in the world. Throughout the Smash 4 tournaments he had attended, he has taken sets off of players such as ANTi, kameme, Fatality, Marss, Darkshad, Nietono, Pink Fresh, Elexiao, and Ixis. Glutonny is currently ranked 1st on the French Smash 4 Power Rankings, 2nd on the European Smash 4 Power Rankings, and 70th on the Panda Global Rankings 100.
Glutonny joined his first eSport structure, orKs Grand Poitiers, on April 27th, 2018[1] but they parted ways on January 18th, 2019[2]. On January 29th, 2019, the #1 WebTV in France, Solary picked up Glutonny as their first Smash Bros. player[3].
Tournament history
The Newcomers
Glutonny first started to attend tournaments in 2009 at the age of 13. Due to his young age, he was unable to attend events alone, and would travel with his brother, Karma. They often teamed in doubles and were dubbed "the newcomers".
Despite his age, he became one of the best players in Europe. For his first regional tournament at Bushido Impact 8, he became the first Wario player to place top 8 at a French Brawl tournament. He 3-stocked Leon, the best Brawl player in France at that time, twice during the tournament, and would ultimately finish in second place, losing to Kaos in Grand Finals. From then on, Glutonny would consistently place in the top 3 at French tournaments.
On a national level, he gained international recognition for defeating Ally, the second-best player in the world at that time, twice to claim victory at Bushido Brawl Impact in 2010. He only made one appearance outside of his home country - SKTAR in 2012. Although he placed a respectable 17th, he claimed victory over "Captain Atomsk," one of the best King Dedede players in the world, in a best-of-5 money match. Despite these accomplishments, he was not ranked on any iteration of the SSBBRank due to not attending any tournaments in America in 2013 or 2014.
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U released in Europe in November 2014, and for the first few years of the game's competitive lifespan Glutonny's tournament activity remained mostly in France. He continued to play Wario despite the character's nerfs from Brawl, and despite seeing frequent top 2 placements in his country, he failed to make any notable impact on the larger European scale. In fact, he often fell to Europe's best players at that time, including losing to J.Miller at Mars 2016, being double eliminated by Mr.R at Cannes Winter Clash 2016, and being double eliminated by IxisNaugus at Neokan Party 2. Even in France, he was often competing for the top position with other players, first with Phogos, then with Elexiao following Phogos's declining activity. Nevertheless, his consistently strong placements in tournaments led many to consider him a hidden boss, which he prove with his 5th place finish at Syndicate 2016, defeating J.Miller and S1 along the way.
It wouldn't be until Smashdown World in November 2016 when Glutonny had his first big break in the wider scene. Entering the tournament as the 10th seed, Glutonny surprised the competitive scene by defeating kameme 2-1, and following it up with a 3-2 victory over ANTi. Although he fell to komorikiri and ANTi in the runback to place 3rd, Glutonny had outplaced every European player in the tournament, and was also the only European who defeated a foreign invader. This performance was impressive not only because of his victories over EVO 2016's runner-up and CEO 2016's champion, but also because it was done with Wario, a character that had been falling off in the metagame. With this performance, many players began considering Glutonny as the best Wario player in the world.
2017 was overall a slow but steady rise for Glutonny. Following a mediocre 9th place finish at BEAST 7 after being upset by M and KillerJawz, Glutonny attended the heavily-stacked 2GGC: Civil War, his first international appearance since 2012. However, he underperformed at the tournament and place 65th, his worst placement in any offline Smash tournament to date. Despite these setbacks, Glutonny achieved new career highs, notably placed 1st at MARS 2017 by double-eliminating Fatality, and claimed victory at his first national-level event at Albion 2, the second-largest European Smash 4 tournament. With strong performances in several other tournaments that were outside France, people began to see Glutonny as the second-best European player behind Mr.R.
Europe's rising star
Following his victory at Valhalla in 2018, Glutonny secured a trip to Midwest Mayhem 11. Unlike Civil War, Glutonny had a rather impressive run and notably won a nail-biting game 5 against Darkshad, ultimately placed 9th. He followed that tournament up with Get On My Level 2018, his first appearance at a Canadian tournament, where he placed 13th, defeating Fatality again as well as DSS. His final notable appearance in America would be at Glitch 5, where he defeated Pink Fresh en route to a 3rd place finish, his best placement at a non-European event up to that point. Back in Europe, Glutonny used signature Wario, Cloud, and even Donkey Kong to dominate the continent for the rest of Smash 4's lifespan, placing 1st at almost every tournament he attended, including the finale of the European Smash 4 Pro Circuit. His achievements outside of Europe and victories over several top 50 players cemented Glutonny as a player capable of making the PGR, and by the end of the year, Glutonny was ranked 70th on Panda Global's ranking of the 100 best Smash 4 players of all time, the second-highest European player on the ranking.
Europe's best player
Thanks to the buffs Wario gained from his transition, Glutonny dominated the European scene throughout the beginning Ultimate's competitive lifespan. From the beginning of the game up to October 2021, Glutonny won every offline European tournament he attended aside from Stunfest 2019, the weekly Smash4Glory #6, Ultimate Fighting Arena 2019, VCA 2019, and Temple: Hermès Edition; in the four tournaments, he fell to players outside of Europe: Shuton for the weekly, MkLeo for the next three, and Tea for Temple. As a result of this performance, he was ranked 1st on the European Smash Rankings in 2020.
On an international level, however, Glutonny had a shaky start. Although he came into GENESIS 6 with high hopes, he was knocked into loser's bracket right before top 64 by ImHip in a set that started a brief struggle against Olimar. He made a respectable loser's run, notably defeating Marss along the way, before falling to Tweek in Losers Round 4, placing 17th. At his next American appearance, 2GG: Prime Saga, he fell to Zan right before top 128. He once again made another respectable Loser's run, defeating T along the way, but fell to Light just outside of top 8. Although these placements were fantastic, they were nevertheless somewhat underwhelming for a player who dominated the European scene.
His last two major tournaments finally showcased his true potential. At CEO 2019, he defeated top American players such as Cosmos and WaDi en route to a 5th place finish, his first top 8 placement at an American tournament. Although Glutonny developed a bracket demon in Dabuz, who he fell to twice at the tournament, he overcame it at Albion 4, the final major tournament of the first season. Glutonny ran through the entire tournament without dropping a set until Grand Finals, where Dabuz reset the bracket. Despite this, Glutonny defeated Dabuz in the second set, successfully defending his home continent to the elation of European players in attendance. For his continued success in Europe as well as a solid performance on a national level that culminated in his victory at Albion 4, Glutonny was ranked 14th on the Spring 2019 PGRU, the highest-placing European on the ranking.
The second season brought even more success to Glutonny. Throughout the season, he placed in the top 8 for every tournament he attended aside from Mainstage, including a 3rd place at EVO 2019 - the largest tournament of the season - and 5th place at 2GG: Kongo Saga, where his Wario ditto with Tweek was acclaimed for bringing out the true potential of top-level competitive play in Ultimate. Furthermore, he was one of 3 players to take more than one set off of MkLeo, doing so at Ultimate Fighting Arena 2019 and VCA 2019. Although he developed an additional bracket demon in Tweek, his consistent performance on a national level as well his continued dominance in Europe allowed him to rise up to 8th on the Fall 2019 PGRU, making him the second European player after Mr.R to be ranked in the top 10 on a Panda Global Rankings power ranking.
After having his best season yet, Glutonny began the third season with similar success, placing 7th at the first major of the season, GENESIS 7, where he infamously defeated Nairo with a zero-to-death waft combo in the final game. Despite placing 17th at Frostbite 2020, players were anticipating great things from Europe's best player. However, the COVID-19 pandemic halted the momentum as offline competitive play was completely shut down. Glutonny made the transition online alongside many other top players, however he entered many tournaments playing secondaries such as Wolf and Donkey Kong. Although it led to a couple of mediocre results, notably a 129th-place finish at Pound Online, he nevertheless still performed well, particularly during the seventh Wi-Fi Warrior Rank season, where despite being affected by region-locks he was ranked in the Area 51 position.
Cracks in his dominance
During the online period, Wario lost some of his notorious waft conversions in Patch 11.0.0, leading many players to dismiss Wario as a shell of his former self. With the offline period returning, players were wondering whether Glutonny would be as dominant in Europe as he was before due to the nerfs and Glutonny treating the online metagame less seriously. Glutonny erased all of these doubts by continuing his dominance as if nothing had happened; throughout 2021, Glutonny won 12 tournaments with over 100 entrants. He placed first at Ultimate WANTED 3, his first national victory in over a year, as well as 2nd at Temple: Hermès Edition, where despite being sent to Loser's early by AndresFn, he made a grueling Loser's run and defeated European invaders such as LeoN and KEN before falling to Tea. Internationally, Glutonny placed 9th at Mainstage, 3-0ing ESAM despite high hopes for the player, and nearly won CEO 2021 but was ultimately double-eliminated by Kola.
This period, however, wasn't without its downsides, as Glutonny's hold on the European scene began to crack. The first crack was at Helios Session 3 in July, where he was double-eliminated by Nitox, placing 3rd; this loss, however, was overlooked by many players due to the nature of the tournament and Glutonny's choice to sandbag as Marth for its entirety. The second crack was at the weekly Dōjo #7 in October, where he was double-eliminated by Raflow, marking the first time Glutonny failed to win a European tournament while playing Wario. The final crack in that year was at VCA 2021 in November, where Glutonny was upset by Tropped before Top 64 and was defeated by Peli in Grand Finals, marking the first European national that a European other than Glutonny won, and starting Glutonny's struggle against Sonic players. Glutonny's final notable tournament of 2021 was also an underperformance. At the Smash World Tour 2021 Championships, he barely made it out of his round robin pools after being upset by BassMage and Tilde, and lost to his bracket demon Shuton in the Championship Bracket, ultimately placing 13th. Despite these shortcomings, players still believed Glutonny was a top 10 player worldwide, and he was ranked 1st (in the S+ tier) on the PGRUContenders Europe and 9th on the OrionRank Ultimate: Eclipse.
Rise internationally, decline domestically
Despite having a weaker year than before, many people still expected a lot from Glutonny in 2022. His initial results, however, were not promising. Glutonny's hold on Europe continued to falter, as in the first quarter of 2022, he failed to win a single European tournament. Despite being smaller tournaments than GENESIS 6 and Frostbite 2020, Glutonny tied his worst placement at two WANTED super regionals: Saint Valentin Edition and Free Agent Edition. His performances internationally were also rather disappointing: despite finishing top 12 at both Glitch - Infinite and Collision 2022, Glutonny gathered no wins over players that were considered top 20.
However, one tournament did stand out during this period: Smash Ultimate Summit 4. Many players at the invitational noted how much of a threat Glutonny was during friendlies, and he prove their words correct by placing first in his round robin pools, defeating both Light and MkLeo in the process, two players he hadn't fought since the second season. Although he eventually fell to Tweek and MkLeo to place 5th, his victory over two of America's best players gave hope to players that Glutonny still had it in him.
And he certainly had it in him, as following a trip to Mexico where he practiced with MkLeo, he started seeing his best performances yet. His first major was the Mexican invitational Delfino Maza RETA 2022, where despite being upset in Round Robin pools by AlanDiss, he took out both Maister and Sparg0 before falling to MkLeo and Sparg0 in the runback, placing 3rd. His second major was GENESIS 8, where not only did he defeat Light and Sparg0 yet again, but also Kola and Zomba, players who had defeated him earlier in the season. Unfortunately, his incredible run was cut short by MkLeo, who easily defeated him prior to top 8 and in Grand Finals. However, Glutonny got his revenge the following week at his third major, Pound 2022, where he defeated MkLeo for the second time that season en route to his path to Grand Finals. Although MkLeo defeated him 3-1 in the first set of Grand Finals, which included a three-stock in the final game, Glutonny held on and defeated MkLeo in the second set, claiming his first major victory at an American tournament. Although the rest of his season was weak in comparison - including yet another 17th-place after going 1-2 at e-Caribana - his path in April, which included defeating bracket demons, rising stars, and familiar foes, and culminating in his victory at Pound, erased any doubts on Glutonny's abilities as a player; for the first half of the year, he was ranked 6th on the OrionRank Mid-Year 2022, 3rd on the PGRU v3 NA, and 1st on the PGRU v3 EU.
The second half of the year saw continued success internationally, with Glutonny placing 4th at Super Smash Con 2022 and 5th at Smash Ultimate Summit 5. He not only continued his winning streak over MkLeo, who he defeated at both tournaments, but also took his first ever set over Tweek in the former tournament, and improved his head-to-head against Sparg0 and Dabuz. Although his performance at the Ludwig Smash Invitational and Scuffed World Tour were not as hot, he nevertheless had decent runs, defeating Tweek again in the former and rising star Miya in the latter. Despite these positives, Glutonny continued to falter against his bracket demon Shuton and gained a new bracket demon in the form of Sonix, who defeated him twice at Ludwig Smash Invitational.
Domestically, however, Glutonny's position on Europe's throne had fallen. For the rest of the season, he failed to win a single tournament aside from a few locals and Shonen WAR 1. In addition, Glutonny gained yet another bracket demon in the form of Bloom4Eva, who eliminated Glutonny at COLOSSEL 2022 and double-eliminated him at VCA 2022; Bloom4Eva's continued success in Europe and record over Glutonny led many to consider Bloom4Eva as the new best player in Europe. Finally, Glutonny saw yet another poor run at the invitational L'Odyssée - Chant I, where he went 1-2, losing to Mr.R and Gackt and failed to make it out of his Round Robin. He did, however, have one notable performance at Ultimate Fighting Arena 2022, where after falling to HIKARU's Donkey Kong, Glutonny made a strong loser's run, defeating Bloom4Eva for the first time and winning the runback against HIKARU to face Tea in Grand Finals. Glutonny adopted a more patient playstyle than usual, allowing him to go up 2-0, however, Tea switched to Kazuya and defeated Glutonny in a reverse 3-0. Nevertheless, this was arguably a brief return to form for Glutonny in Europe.
Overall, Glutonny's lukewarm results in Europe brought down his entire season, and he was ultimately ranked 15th on the inaugural UltRank, which ranked players from the second half of the year. However, thanks to his outstanding performance in April as well his decent record against some top 10 players, Glutonny was ultimately ranked 9th on the OrionRank 2022, which ranked his performance for the entire year.
Playstyle
Glutonny utilizes Wario’s Bike with great proficency in Brawl, being resourceful as a tool to break camping and as one of his main setups for combos. Glutonny is able to play quite evasively in order to charge Wario Waft, which is supplemented with Wario’s hefty endurance to make both positives as either swindles to reverse momentum or as wincons.
In Smash 4, Glutonny emphasizes much more on Wario’s defensive capabilities, especially on Bike’s quick respawn time, enabling him to escape from opponent’s attacks or break through camping. Glutonny mixes this with Wario’s more powerful attacks and unpredictability.
Ultimate’s changes allows Glutonny to be much more flexible with Wario’s kit, using the universal jumpsquat benefit to the fullest extent, granting Wario an even more formidable aerial presence. The array of grounded moves enables him to be an extremely threatening offensive wallbreaker, while using Waft’s even greater power to maximize Wario’s vast utility options.

Trivia
- Glutonny's tag is occasionally misspelled as Gluttony due to that spelling being a common word in English. His tag is actually a broken English variation of this word, as his tag has the same amount of t's and n's as "Gloutonnerie", the french translation of "Gluttony".
- His tag is named after the Fullmetal Alchemist character Gluttony (a personification of the deadly sin itself), and how his main Wario is gluttonous.
- On August 25th, 2019, Glutonny was issued a 'bounty' on his head: the first French, Belgian or Swiss player to eliminate him from a tournament would earn €1,000 from the president of Solary, his current sponsor[4]. Zaboutine, a League of Legends coach and caster, later added €500 to the pot[5].
- The bounty ran until the end of PGRU Fall 2019. As no one from the above-mentioned nations managed to eliminate him, Glutonny himself took the €1,500.
- Glutonny has a deep pocket of secondaries that he often uses in winners side sets at European tournaments. He would in some events only switch to Wario after being sent to the losers bracket or after a bracket reset in Grand Finals.
- Due to this, as well as his dominance in Europe, a common joke states that even if a player is the best European player of a character, Glutonny is probably even better.
- GENESIS 6, Frostbite 2020, WANTED S4 C3 - Saint Valentin Edition, WANTED S4 C4 - Free Agent Edition and e-Caribana are tied as Glutonny's worst offline placement in Ultimate, where he finished at 17th.
