 ====Reclaiming the title====
-{{cleanup|After looking into it, the Nairo and Salem wins were mainly with Peach. This section is misleading}}
+As ''Ultimate'' rolled around, many people noted the severe nerfs {{SSBU|Bayonetta}} received during the transition that hindered her KO power and notorious combo game. As a result, many of her best players, most notably {{Sm|Salem}} and {{Sm|Tweek}}, dropped Bayonetta in favor of other characters. Despite the nerfs, CaptainZack continued to play Bayonetta, and placed 17th at {{Trn|Let's Make Moves}} and 49th at {{Trn|Glitch 6}}. These results, while decent, were nevertheless a far cry from CaptainZack's performance throughout most of ''Smash 4'', which led to him picking up {{SSBU|Peach}} and her echo {{SSBU|Daisy}}, which he saw several successful runs with, including 9th at {{Trn|GENESIS 6}}, and the best wins of his season, including {{Sm|Nairo}} and {{Sm|Salem}}.

These results, while decent, were nevertheless a far cry from CaptainZack's performance throughout most of ''Smash 4''.
-In hopes of changing things around, CaptainZack prioritized the superior character {{SSBU|Peach}} and her echo {{SSBU|Daisy}}, and initially saw some success, placing 9th at the first supermajor of the year, {{Trn|GENESIS 6}}. This success, however, did not last very long, and CaptainZack placed outside of top 32 at next three national tournaments he attended. Seeing how focusing on Peach and Daisy wasn't helping him, CaptainZack returned his attention to Bayonetta, and saw some of the best results of his ''Ultimate'' career, including 17th at {{Trn|MomoCon 2019}} and 13th at {{Trn|Smash 'N' Splash 5}} before ending off the season at a disappointing yet familiar 33rd at {{Trn|CEO 2019}}.
+However, he maintained Bayonetta in his roster, and managed to pull off some success with Bayonetta, notably placing 17th at {{Trn|MomoCon 2019}} and 13th at {{Trn|Smash 'N' Splash 5}}, while using Bayonetta to help defeat players such as {{Sm|Dark Wizzy}} and {{Sm|Wishes}}. With no other notable Bayonetta players playing at a national level, CaptainZack was considered the best Bayonetta player in the early metagame, reclaiming a title he had lost years ago, and was ranked 32nd on the [[Spring 2019 PGRU]] with Bayonetta as his first character.
-Despite an incredibly mixed season, CaptainZack managed to pull off success with Bayonetta, a character players have waved off as a threat of the past. While most other Bayonetta players such as {{Sm|Lima}} and {{Sm|tamim}} found success at a regional level, they either failed to travel throughout the season (Lima) or faltered at national tournaments (tamim). Although he also used Peach and Daisy, CaptainZack was able to find success with Bayonetta at both regionals and nationals during the season, defeating players such as {{Sm|Nairo}} and {{Sm|Salem}} along the way. With CaptainZack being ranked 32nd for ''Ultimate''{{'}}s first season, he was acclaimed as the best Bayonetta player in ''Ultimate'', allowing him to reclaim a title he had lost years ago.
