He entered his first international tournament in 2014 at [[Apex 2014|Apex]], where he was sent to losers' bracket by {{Sm|Isai}} 0-2 in the second round of winners. In the loser's bracket however, he went on a tear, defeating The Z 2-0, Revan 2-0 and Dext3r 2-0 to enter top 8, where he then defeated Ruoka Dancho 3-1 before losing to SuPeRbOoMfAn 0-3, ending him at a very unexpected 5th place.
 
At [[Apex 2015]], no longer considered an underdog, tacos dominated again in singles, taking sets off {{Sm|Fireblaster}} 2-0, {{Sm|Firo}} 2-0 then {{Sm|Banze}} 2-0 to enter top 8, where he defeated {{Sm|Mariguas}} 3-1 in Winner's Semis and took a game off {{Sm|SuPeRbOoMfAn}} in Winner's Finals, though he lost the set 1-3. After the loss, he then defeated {{Sm|Wizzrobe}} 3-1 in loser's finals to face SuPeRbOoMfAn again in Grand Finals, where this time he lost 0-3 in a very anticlimactic set. He also placed 2nd in doubles, teaming with The Z, defeating formidable teams such as Banze & {{Sm|CabeLo}} 3-1, Dext3r & Wizzrobe 3-0 and {{Sm|Star King}} & {{Sm|Killer}} 3-0 (after losing to them 2-3 in winner's side), losing to {{Sm|JaimeHR}} and SuPeRbOoMfAn in Grand Finals 0-3.
 
In June 2015, he entered singles at [[Smash of Ages 2015]] in Panorama City, California, the largest Smash 64 event on the West Coast in years, where he met fierce competition from SuPeRbOoMfAn, Mariguas, JaimeHR and West Coast's top players. He placed second, losing to Mariguas 2-3 in winners' side, defeated JaimeHR in losers side and Mariguas 3-2 in a rematch in losers final, and faced SuPeRbOoMfAn in Grand Finals where he was defeated 1-3, taking second place.
 
He competed at [[Super Smash Con]]. In winner's, his notable wins on his way to Winners Finals were vs Revan in Quarters and Wizzrobe in Semis. After losing to SuPeRbOoMfAn in WF, he lost to KeroKeroppi in LF 0-3, netting 3rd.
