Sparg0 Wins Three Straight Tournaments, Claims S Factor 12 Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Title

Edgar “Sparg0” Valdez continues his dominance in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate after winning the game’s bracket at S Factor 12. Sparg0 faced Steve player “Syrup” in the grand final, who was the first Steve player in years to take a set off of him.

Sparg0’s run in this tournament was filled with crazy comebacks and a lot of Cloud gameplay. His signature Piranha Plant, while winning him a tournament last week, did not appear in the top 8 of the tournament, as he stuck with his trusted Cloud Strife.

Syrup, on the other hand, was switching between Steve and Ness. He tried Ness first against Sparg0 in the winners final but lost 0-3. He then beat “WaKa” in the losers finals, giving him another chance to redeem himself through another match with Sparg0 in the grand final.

This time, Syrup played Steve the whole time and was even able to beat Sparg0 with the character, a surprising feat, as the last time Sparg0 lost to a Steve was against Mashita “Acola” Hayato at the Ludwig Smash Invitational 2022.

The victory was short-lived, however, because Sparg0 swiftly turned things around in the grand final reset, beating the New Jersey prodigy 3-0. Sparg0’s S Factor 12 win is his third straight tournament win.

S Factor 12, previously known as Smash Factor, is a tournament held in Mexico. Back then, the tournament only had Smash titles as its focus but has since expanded to other games such as Street Fighter 6 and Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, among many others.
