Fierce matches at Super Smash Con 2022<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Discussions around Steve took the spotlight because of a large-scale fan event held in the United States called Super Smash Con 2022. The event featured offline tournaments for each title in the Smash Bros<\/em> series, with special attention being paid to the Smash Ultimate<\/em> singles division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powerhouse players like MkLeo, Riddles, and other high-ranking competitors were set to appear and many thought one of them would claim the top prize. However, there was a dark horse among them. A rising star from Michigan who goes by Onin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Onin started appearing in tournaments regularly in 2021 and is only 16 years old. While their resume may not be full of achievements yet, Onin defeated top players one after another and sparked a discussion around their character of choice, Steve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mighty Onin<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Onin didn\u2019t just win\u2014they dominated the top players in the field. This included a sweep of MkLeo, a Smash Ultimate<\/em> player from Mexico that many consider to be the best in the world and who consistently places well in large-scale tournaments. Things were going smoothly for MkLeo at Super Smash Con 2022 too as they continued winning matches with their main character Byleth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, MkLeo and Onin would soon face off in the Top 32 Bracket. MkLeo started strong by demonstrating some skillful moves, but the tricky style of Steve would prove to be overwhelming. By using blocks to maintain spacing, the minecart, and a combination of pickaxe combos and TNT, Onin put together a variety of attacks that were too much to handle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last game was especially shocking as Onin was able to put Byleth away without dropping a single stock. Seeing a young newcomer steamroll who many call the \u201cking\u201d of Smash Ultimate<\/em> left viewers astonished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
