Somewhat later in his ARMS career, AstroNinja was a part a short lived team Nightmare Enterprises (NMe) which was essentially made for ironic purposes. He also joined Kanji Krew, a more serious crew, some time after leaving NMe with this partnership lasting a good while. In February of 2019, Astro attended [[Heart of Battle]] and placed 1st which many see as a premonition to his transformation from good player, to the best player. This was definitively showcased with another win, this time at [[2GG: SwitchFest 2019|SwitchFest 2019]], in late Summer of 2019. Soon after this victory, on September 19, 2019, AstroNinja was signed on to Illuzion Gaming for ARMS.<ref>https://twitter.com/gamingilluzion/status/1174858429287915521</ref> The two aforementioned wins were to many's surprise as prior to this Astro was not a very prominent name to most of the community, but after these wins his name has since become nearly synonymous with competitive ARMS especially with his performances in 2020. | Somewhat later in his ARMS career, AstroNinja was a part a short lived team Nightmare Enterprises (NMe) which was essentially made for ironic purposes.

In early 2020, AstroNinja's wins became incredibly noticeable and dominant, with victories at large online events such as [[Quarantined Rapport]], Bamboo Battles: Hibernation Arc, and the ARMS NA Online Open, which is the largest ARMS tournament ever held. Within each of these events, Astro lost very few games and no sets which was something that essentially hadn't been seen before in ARMS. This streak of not dropping a set in 2020 ended in The Steel Trap #2, when Para won Winners Finals 3-2 against him, although Astro still won the event after winning the Losers Bracket and defeating Para in Grand Finals. Many accredit these wins with the prevalent advantages and abilities that Dr. Coyle has, but he has shown that he is able to succeed without her in events such as [[Champions of the Era|Champions of the Era 61]] where he only played [[Max Brass]]. AstroNinja managed to win the event over numerous top players, including [[Mileve]] and the current best Max Brass in the world, [[Steelhead]]. Despite this, Astro has still acknowledged Dr. Coyle's notable advantages over most of the other [[fighters]], although he does believe other fighters still have things that can be abused as well ([[Kid Cobra|Kid Cobra's]] jumps for example). | In early 2020, AstroNinja's wins became incredibly noticeable and dominant, with victories at large online events such as [[Quarantined Rapport]], Bamboo Battles: Hibernation Arc, and the ARMS NA Online Open, which is the largest ARMS tournament ever held.
