The Stagg Chargers were the underdogs in both Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tournaments and they became state champions on 4/27/24.

In Smash Crew Battle, five Chargers fought their way back into the championship match where they faced Evergreen Park. Each gamer only had a slight advantage winning rounds, by only a few lives, in the Pokémon Stadium. Joel Droesch had a 3 to 2 lead over Evergreen Park. Being the anchor, he used Ice Climbers (main character/s) vs Evergreen Park’s Kirby. A minute into the match he was hit with a side special putting the game 2 to 2. Following the Ice Climbers hit the same move launching Kirby out. Both characters were neck and neck with over 120% damage and Droesch up smashed for the win.

Kristian Zajac also won the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate solos tournament.
