'''Hax$''' (pronounced "Hax Money"), informally known as '''Hax''', is a banned ''[[Melee]]'' player based in Manhattan. He used to solo [[main]] {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}} with the [[Alternate costume (SSBM)#Captain Falcon|pink costume]] (commonly known as Captain Fabulous); however, in early 2014, he switched to solo maining {{SSBM|Fox}}, and was widely regarded as the most technical Fox player when he was still active. In April 2016, he went on a indefinite hiatus due to having a calcified FCU tendon, which was left untreated because no surgeon was willing to remove it. During this hiatus, he began working on the [[B0XX]], a controller designed in a similar vein to the Smash Box by Hitbox, after having tested the Smash Box and finding it unsatisfactory. He has also slowly made a return to competitive ''Melee'' as of March 2017, having finally been treated for his hand problems. He would attend various ''Melee'' events showcasing the potential of the B0XX, and spent a long time balancing it to be as fair to a GameCube controller as possible. By 2019, he was considered to be playing at a level similar to when he played on a GameCube controller.

Hax was formerly ranked 2nd on the [[New York City Power Rankings|New York City Melee Power Rankings]] and 19th on the [[2019 MPGR]].

He joined [[Even Matchup Gaming]] on January 29th, 2019.<ref> [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ua1lE1YlprQ Hax joins EMG]</ref> He left the team on January 7th, 2021.<ref> [https://twitter.com/EvenMatchup/status/1354603266403946499 Hax leaves EMG]</ref>

On June 2021 Hax was indefinitely banned due to repeated and refusal to stop committing defamation deemed to constitute harassment violating sections 2.2.1 and 2.3.3 of the CoC.<ref name="Hax Ban" />

As of February  1, 2024, Hax$ has been permanently banned from tournaments due to repeated slanderous and conspiratorial accusations made towards {{Sm|Leffen}}, and other community members, with Hax's persistent reinforcement of these statements, multiple instances of inciting harassment, failing to take sufficient accountability for his actions, and refusing to abide by the terms of his return to local events.<ref name="Hax Permanent Ban">{{cite web|url=https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Dg-R86Zz_toB3EbfvGCJ4wvJTwyQyRlunCh-P1_HCV0/edit|title=Hax's Permanent ban}}</ref> In addition to allegations of doxxing<ref name="Willy P personal statement" /> and stalking.<ref name="DarkGenex Document" />

==Tournament History==

{{cleanup|More information about post-ban era activity and other information that may be notable. Paragraphs could also be simplified.}}
===Origin of the name===
Hax used to be into competitive Pokémon. In the context of competitive Pokémon, "hax" is lingo for the uncontrollable RNG involved in battles, such as critical hits, that can sometimes undeservedly turn the tide of a match. The high number of angry players who would call "hax" after severe losses due to this prompted Hax to name himself after this term. When switching to competitive ''Melee'', Hax wanted a fourth character in the space given for [[Name|tags]] in-game, and decided to add the dollar sign to it, eventually giving birth to "Hax$" or "Hax Money".

===2008-2009: Starting Off===
Hax began his ''Melee'' career as an up-and-coming Captain Falcon main who quickly rose up the ranks in his region. At his first major tournament, [[Pound 3]], he placed 9th; he lost to {{Sm|Mew2King}} in the first round of winners' bracket, then ran through losers' bracket and defeated {{Sm|LoZR}}, {{Sm|Silent Wolf}}, and {{Sm|Colbol}} in losers', then was eliminated by {{Sm|Azen}}. A year later, at [[Revival of Melee]], Hax once again showed fantastic prowess with his Captain Falcon; he lost to {{Sm|Eggm}} in winners', but went on another mini-run through losers' bracket, taking out {{Sm|thumbswayup}}, {{Sm|HBK}}, and {{Sm|RaynEX}}. He then lost to {{Sm|Jman}} 0-2, with both games going down to the last stock, finishing at 13th in singles overall.

Hax's next major was [[Apex 2009]], which was also his biggest breakthrough in the ''Melee'' scene to that day. At that tournament, he defeated {{Sm|ChuDat}} in winners' bracket before losing to {{Sm|Jman}}, but went on another run through losers', this time taking out big names such as {{Sm|Anther}}, {{Sm|Scar}}, and {{Sm|Kage}} before losing to {{Sm|ChuDat}} in a rematch, placing 4th overall. At [[GENESIS]], he teamed with {{Sm|Hungrybox}}, where they were defeated by {{Sm|Armada}} and {{Sm|Aniolas}} in the winners' bracket. They rose through the losers' bracket, but only reached 13th place. He reached 7th place in ''Melee'' singles, besting many of the most talented players from North America and Europe.

===2010-2011===
Hax then reached 13th place at [[Pound 4]], the second highest placed Captain Falcon at the tournament (behind {{Sm|SilentSpectre}}, who was considered the strongest Captain Falcon at the time). In doubles, he teamed with {{Sm|Darc}} and was rather successful, placing 4th. At [[Apex 2010]], Hax once again lost in the first round of winners', this time to {{Sm|I.B}} from Canada. He then eliminated {{Sm|WarriorKnight}}, {{Sm|th0rn}}, {{Sm|Silent Wolf}}, and finally, {{Sm|ChuDat}} in a rematch from Apex 2009, before being stopped by {{Sm|Zhu}}'s Falco, placing 9th overall in singles.

After a comparatively low placement of 13th at [[Revival of Melee 3]] and a handful of tournaments where he failed to break the top 8, Hax once again placed within the top 8 at [[Pound V]]. There, he continued his trend of losing very early in winners' bracket, this time to {{Sm|Zhu}}. He then tore through losers' bracket, defeating {{Sm|tect}}, {{Sm|MacD}}, {{Sm|Kels}}, {{Sm|Amsah}}, and {{Sm|VaNz}}, before meeting and being defeated by {{Sm|Axe}} in losers' quarters, finishing 5th overall. He also placed 3rd in teams, teaming with {{Sm|Hungrybox}}. Hax then placed 9th at [[GENESIS 2]], where he sent {{Sm|HomeMadeWaffles}} to losers' and eliminated {{Sm|Fuzzyness}} and {{Sm|Fly Amanita}}, but was defeated by {{Sm|Taj}} in winners' and {{Sm|PPMD}} (then known as Dr. PeePee) in losers'.

===2012: Best Falcon in the world===
Hax placed in top 8 at [[Apex 2012]]. Although he lost to {{Sm|Zhu}} 1-2 early in winners' bracket, he eliminated {{Sm|SFAT}} 2-1 and {{Sm|MacD}} 2-1 in losers' bracket before losing to {{Sm|JAVI}} 0-2 in losers' top 8. He continued to perform extremely well in tournaments later that year, with a 5th place finish at [[Zenith 2012]] and [[Revival of Melee 5]] and a 6th place finish at [[MELEE-FC10R Legacy]]. At the latter tournament, he made it into the final round-robin bracket, where he defeated {{Sm|Kels}} 3-1 and {{Sm|Darkrain}} 3-2, with the latter match solidifying his position as the best solo main Captain Falcon in the world. However, he lost to everyone else in the bracket, placing 6th overall.

===2013: Turn to the Dark Side (20XX)===
Hax placed in top 8 at [[Apex 2013]], defeating JAVI 2-1 in a rematch in winners' bracket, as well as {{Sm|Kage}} 2-0, before losing to {{Sm|Dr. PeePee}} 0-2. In losers' bracket, he eliminated {{Sm|Axe}} 2-0, but then lost to {{Sm|Mango}} 0-2 for top 8. At [[EVO 2013]], Hax defeated {{Sm|S2J}} 2-1 in the winners' quarters pool to make it into the semifinals pool. He lost to Dr. PeePee 1-2 in winners' bracket, and then to {{Sm|Ice}} 0-2 in losers' bracket, placing 9th overall.

At this point in his ''Melee'' career, Hax popularized the "20XX" joke, depicting a post-apocalyptic world where everyone played Fox to [[Tool-assisted superplay|TAS]] levels of perfection. He also began claiming that Captain Falcon, as a character, was not strong enough to make him become the top Melee player in the community. Although many doubted that he would switch to Fox at first, Hax dropped Captain Falcon entirely after [[The Big House 3]], much to the disappointment of many Captain Falcon fans. It seemed for a while that Hax would take his Fox to the top level at his next major after winning No Johns Monthly, defeating VaNz and {{Sm|The Moon}} in a dominating fashion.

===2014: Rise of Fox in a summer of Smash===
Hax underperformed in ''Melee'' singles at [[Apex 2014]], placing 17th. He lost to {{Sm|s0ft}} in winners' finals of the first round of pools, and made it to losers' quarters in the second round of pools before losing to {{Sm|Ice}} 1-2. However, he managed to win ''Melee'' doubles with {{Sm|Mew2King}}. They lost to Mango and {{Sm|Lucky}} 2-3 in winners' semis, but once in losers' bracket, they managed to defeat {{Sm|Shroomed}} and S2J 2-0, Armada and Ice 3-2, and Hungrybox and {{Sm|Plup}} 3-1 to make it to grand finals against Mango and Lucky. They won the first and second sets 3-2 and 3-1, respectively.

Hax upset Mango 3-1 in winners' finals at [[WHOBO MLG]], including two Fox ditto victories, but then lost two consecutive 0-3 sets in grand finals to his Falco. At [[SKTAR 3]], Hax defeated players such as {{Sm|ZoSo}} and {{Sm|Nintendude}} in winners' bracket before losing to {{Sm|Armada}} 0-2. In losers' bracket, he eliminated {{Sm|ChuDat}} 2-0 and Zhu 2-0 before being eliminated by Mew2King 0-2 in losers' quarters, placing 5th overall. Due to Hax's strong placements at WHOBO MLG and SKTAR 3, he qualified for the [[MLG Anaheim 2014]] championship bracket.

In his pool at MLG Anaheim 2014, Hax defeated {{Sm|Leffen}} 3-2, {{Sm|Colbol}} 3-1, {{Sm|s0ft}} 3-0, and {{Sm|Remen}} 3-0, but lost to PPMD 1-3, Mew2King 1-3, and Axe 1-3. He was seeded in losers' bracket in the championship bracket, where he eliminated S2J 3-2 and {{Sm|PewPewU}} 3-2 before being eliminated by Leffen 2-3, finishing off at 7th place.

At [[EVO 2014]], the largest ''Melee'' tournament at the time, he placed 13th out of a massive number of 970 entrants. In the winners' quarters pool, he unexpectedly lost early to {{Sm|Zanguzen}}. However, he managed to sweep the losers' quarters pool, eliminating {{Sm|Lovage}}, {{Sm|Reason}}, {{Sm|DEHF}}, {{Sm|Hyprid}}, and Nintendude, before losing to Plup 0-2 in top 16, ending his run.

At [[Zenith 2014]], Hax placed 2nd in ''Melee'' singles, defeating {{Sm|Fly Amanita}} 2-0 and {{Sm|Wizzrobe}} 3-1 in winners' bracket, making it to winners' finals against Mew2King. He won the first two games, including a win against Mew2King's {{SSBM|Marth}} on Final Destination, though ended up losing the set 2-3. In losers' finals, he defeated {{Sm|Zhu}} 3-2. Hax then won the first set of grand finals against Mew2King 3-1, with another win on Final Destination, although he still lost the second set 0-3. Hax also won ''Melee'' doubles with Mew2King, defeating Axe and {{Sm|ZeRo}} in both winners' finals and grand finals.

===2014: Post-summer of Smash and hiatus===
Hax attended [[The Big House 4]], the 4th largest Melee tournament of all time. In pools, he had a close set with {{Sm|Vro}}, where Hax won the set 2-1. In top 16, Hax faced off against Mango's {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}} and {{SSBM|Marth}}, losing 1-3, sending him to losers bracket. He then had a close set with {{Sm|Kalamazhu}} in losers, taking it 3-2 and advancing into top 8. After defeating {{Sm|Kels}} 3-0, he faced Armada in losers top 8, taking the first game convincingly, but ultimately ended up losing 1-3, placing 5th. In doubles, he teamed with fellow Fox main Leffen. They beat {{Sm|HugS}} and Lucky 2-0 and {{Sm|DJ Nintendo}} and The Moon 2-0 as well, before losing to Hungrybox and Plup 2-3. In losers, they defeated SFAT and Axe, and VaNz and MacD, both 3-1. In losers finals, they had a rematch with Hungrybox and Plup, but lost once again, this time 1-3, netting them 3rd.

Hax then attended the New York regional tournament [[Justice 4]]. In winners finals, he faced Armada, where he lost 1-3. After beating Zhu 3-0 in losers finals, he faced Armada once again in grand finals, which Armada won 3-2 in a much closer set. He also teamed with Armada in doubles, getting 1st without dropping a set.

On January 1, 2015, Hax announced that he would be taking an indefinite hiatus from Smash as a result of a hand injury and insomnia, forcing him out of [[Apex 2015]].

===2015: Return and second hiatus===
Hax made his full return to Smash after recovering from his hand surgery at [[Super Nebulous 3]] in late April 2015. He lost to {{Sm|Nintendude}} in winners semis 2-3, getting sent to losers. After beating Wizzrobe 3-1, he lost to Lucky in losers semis 2-3, placing 4th.

In July 2015, Hax announced another hiatus. In [http://ssbmhax.blogspot.com/2015/07/why-ive-been-out.html?m=1 a blog post], he discussed his insomnia, which worsened whenever he was at a tournament. Hax surmised that his insomnia may be linked to his his perfectionist "20XX" mentality. Hax said he would still practice and attend some major tournaments, such as Apex and EVO, but would not attend as many tournaments until his insomnia was under control. {{Sm|Tafokints}} made a video detailing Hax's condition, saying that he, as of writing, was in a cast for his prior injury, but had been making progress, and would return in the near future.

===2016: Second return and third hiatus===
Hax has made a return at NYC Nebulous Prime Locals. He has defeated {{Sm|DJ Nintendo}} at these events, placing first in the ones he has attended. However, he has said in interview that he is not ready to return in full force just yet. His first huge tournament of 2016 was Shots Fired 2, where he placed 3rd, and used the money he got from the tournament to pay for his last surgery. His next big tournament was [[Pound 2016]], where he went on a rampage through pools, making it to Winner's Ro32. There, he defeated smashers such as SFAT 2-1, Nintendude 3-0, and eventually defeated Mango in Winner's semis 3-2, in a nailbiter set where Mango missed a crucial edgeguard, giving Hax his ticket to Winner's finals against Hungrybox, where he was defeated 3-0. Sent to Loser's finals, Hax was pitted in a rematch against Mango, where again, he was defeated 3-0, ending Hax's run at 3rd place.

After initially making himself eligible for being voted to participate in [[Smash Summit 2]], Hax [http://ssbmhax.blogspot.com/2016/04/summit.html drop out] due to another hand injury. Its recurrence prompted another indefinite hiatus from ''Smash'' until he could fully recover.

===2017-2018: Third return and the B0XX===
Hax posted an [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WED3yskzeIQ update video] on January 19th, 2017. In the video, he further detailed the complications with his hands and revealed that he had finally met a doctor that would treat most of his hand problems that arose, the incurable thumb joint arthritis that eventually developed on his left hand now prevented him from using a GameCube controller. Hax also discussed his experiences with the [[Smash Box]] [[arcade controller]] during his hiatus. While Hax had a relatively painless experience using the Smash Box even before the final hand surgery, he proposed several changes, most of which were shot down due to logistical issues with submitting them. {{Sm|Cactuar}} then approached Hax and told him about two Rutgers University engineering students, Arhum Siddiqi (also known as {{Sm|WatchingTime}}) and James Taylor, who were working on a Smash Box-based product called the "Icebox" that would work better for {{SSBM|Ice Climbers}} players' [[desynching]] techniques. A controller design commissioned and approved by {{Sm|Frycook}}, Hax decided to contact them and contribute to improving the Icebox for use with Fox, slowly implementing the changes he initially submitted to the Smash Box team, and giving the product a new name: the "[[B0XX]]". Hax stated that the B0XX would be customizable, and additionally slated a return to competitive ''Melee'' for February 2017, though he would not attend a tournament until a month later at [[Smash Summit Spring 2017]] as a commentator.

After a few months of attending locals on the B0XX, Hax won his first tournament with it, Nebulous Melee 85, in May 2017. Since he began using the B0XX, he has taken sets from ranked players such as {{Sm|Westballz}}, {{Sm|KJH}}, {{Sm|Crush}}, {{Sm|Fiction}}, {{Sm|Kage}}, {{Sm|Captain Smuckers}}, {{Sm|DJ Nintendo}}, and {{Sm|Qerb}}. He has also since made update videos defending his thinking on the legality of the B0XX and is still working on getting it legalized in the MIOM recommended tournament ruleset.

===2019-2020: Partial resurgence===
Hax had a rough start to 2019, placing 17th at [[GENESIS 6]] and only winning some smaller tournaments. The Summer MPGR placed Hax at 25th in the world. Hax's results began to pick up in the summer when he got 9th at [[Shine 2019]], he then went on to place 3rd at [[Mango's Birthday Bash]] beating {{sm|Hungrybox}} in the process. This led to Hax's being ranked at 19th, 19 places better than in 2018. At the start of 2020, Hax attended [[GENESIS 7]] where he was knocked into losers early by {{sm|Leffen}}. He beat {{sm|SFAT}}, {{sm|Westballz}}, {{sm|PewPewU}} and {{sm|Shroomed}} for the opportunity to play {{sm|Leffen}} again, in which Hax won 3-1. Hax placed 4th at [[GENESIS 7]] after being reverse 3-0'd by {{sm|Hungrybox}}. This placement also qualified him for one of the few invite spots to {{Trn|Smash Summit 9}}, where he placed 7th.

==Playing style==
Hax was arguably the strongest Captain Falcon player in the world, utilizing much of the same deadly combos as Falcon mains before him, but with a superior playstyle. Unlike other Captain Falcon players, who relied on what Hax saw as mindless aggression, Hax played very conservatively by utilizing [[camping]] and clever baits to get openings. This made him the strongest Captain Falcon against more defensive characters (such as {{SSBM|Marth}} and {{SSBM|Sheik}}), and eventually, in the world. He was also the most technical Captain Falcon player, as he had amazing reactions and spacing, and utilized difficult techniques such as the "Hax-dash", an invincible ledge-invincibility refresh that doubles as a visual mixup. As Fox, Hax continues pursuing a perfectionist mindset with fast reactions and extreme technical skill, but has become a lot swingier, notably using a lot of fadeback neutral airs and jittery close-range movement. Hax is known for going for nearly frame-perfect combos and theoretically unbreakable [[shine]] pressure, along with reaction tech-chases and a strong ledge-game, often retreating to the ledge to be able to invincibly ledgedash and regain a strong neutral position.

However, this perfectionism has also led to losses in certain matchups. For example, Hax will rush down and approach even defensive characters such as {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}} and attack with drills and shines (the most "optimal" way to pressure), instead of playing more defensively with [[Blaster]] when the situation calls for it. This can lead to him overextending, which leaves him susceptible to Jigglypuff's lethal punishes. Additionally, Hax is susceptible to psychological pressure, as shown when {{Sm|Mango}} [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzcIOB8aRbk defeated him 3-1] with his secondaries at [[The Big House 4]] using mostly hard reads. In addition, Hax's playstyle often is very strong at short-ranges where his execution is extremely consistant, but he is often hesitant to commit to longer range approaches, leading to difficulties vs some more conservative and campy players; an example of this would be Hax's set vs {{Sm|Mike Haze}} at [[Smash Summit 5]], where Mike shifted to a more dash-dance campy style and reverse 3-0d Hax.

===Evidence.zip 2===
On June 4th, 2021, Hax posted a two-and-a-half-hour [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKixeJmH2MQ YouTube video] and accompanying 136-page PDF file titled "Evidence.zip 2",<ref>[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZBIB0pdC2-CuFL0-2JsRyjurKmv4JfJm/ Hax's evidence.zip 2 PDF]</ref> <ref>[https://archive.org/stream/evidence.zip-2-smashbros/drive.google.com/file/d/1ZBIB0pdC2-CuFL0-2JsRyjurKmv4JfJm/view/Evidence.zip%202_djvu.txtclaiming Hax's Evidence.zip 2.pdf archived]</ref> in a tweet that it would "decide the fate of the entire ''Smash'' community."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/ssbmhax/status/1401025253564895235|title=Initial Tweet}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeUf6S_b-_U|title=Evidence.zip 2 reuploaded}}</ref> The video, named as a sequel to the archive file that was used to advocate a ban for {{Sm|Leffen}} back in 2013, alleges that Leffen has mentally abused several people in his quest to become the best player, having been leery about him ever since his first interactions with him on SmashBoards in 2011. He urged the community to reconsider whom they were following and alleged several claims, or "charges", against Leffen:
*Leffen has for several years attempted to systematically take control of the community by constantly pointing out others' flaws and downplaying his own to perpetually attempt to garner sympathy.
*Leffen has never been explicit about the truth of the archive or his initial forgiveness plea, citing incendiary comments he made after the archive was first posted and right before his initial plea, and that the initial plea was a dishonest apology.
*Leffen would deliberately attempt to organize events that coincided with other people's events and urged his followers to ignore them or castigated other events for poor time management.
*Leffen propagated misinformation about the game's mechanics and the [[B0XX]], and banned anyone that disagreed with him.
*Leffen had gone through obsessive lengths to discredit the B0XX and its legitimacy as a competitive controller, posting a stream of what Hax$ calls "anti-B0XX propaganda" to his YouTube and twitter accounts.
*Leffen galvanized a "smear campaign" against Hungrybox amidst their longstanding feud, ultimately culminating in someone throwing a crab at Hungrybox at {{Trn|Pound 2019}}.
*Leffen immediately attempted to garner support from the newly formed ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' community by painting {{Sm|Salem}} in a bad light, showing a hefty critique of his controversial "years of research" video.
*Leffen completely distorted an account of an altercation he had with another Smasher into a story of abuse and prejudice to further paint himself in a sympathetic light.
*Leffen used the fallout following the [[2020 Super Smash Bros. sexual misconduct allegations|wave of harassment allegations back in July of 2020]] to usurp the follower base of players that had been accused to present himself as a leader and safety net for people that had been mistreated by top players.

The video drew massive derision and backlash from the community, believing the accusations to be without merit or proof, with many in particular condemning Hax's choice to analogize Leffen to political figures such as Adolf Hitler and accuse him of trying to establish a "totalitarian regime". Nevertheless, there is also a small fringe group who claim that Hax's video has merit, if not tainted in overly dramatic language and comparisons, and they claim the community has a history of being overly forgiving of its best players as a reason to not entirely dismiss Hax's accusations. Leffen himself posted that he was unsure of his next course of action and would be speaking to a lawyer.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/TSM_Leffen/status/1401031413143642112|title=Leffen on Hax's post}}</ref> Hax would eventually private the video, which has since been reuploaded by multiple smaller channels.

PracticalTAS published a summary, analysis, and commentary of Hax's 136-page PDF file into a 12-page document, plus a 4-page addendum, on June 6th.<ref>[https://twitter.com/PracticalTAS/status/1401392261502545922?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1401392261502545922%7Ctwgr%5E477ad97038a6e68b5916fda8d6f98ab8bd66ce62%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.redditmedia.com%2Fmediaembed%2Fntf2s0%2F%3Fresponsive%3Dtrueis_nightmode%3Dtrue PracticalTAS summary, analysis, and commentary of Evidence.zip 2.pdf]</ref> He remarked that, though Leffen had a history of aggressive social media behavior, his actions were the norm for a player of his fame and prowess, and criticized Hax for attempting to psychologically profile Leffen despite having no authority to do so.

In response to the video, on June 9th, Beyond the Smash banned Hax from attending {{Trn|Smash Summit 11}} in any capacity,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/BTSsmash/status/1402767685637722113|title=BTS's ban on Hax}}</ref> citing safety concerns and believing the video promoted harassment and threats.

On June 11th, 2021, Hax published a revised version of the video,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0FfakLr8O8|title=The second video}}</ref> which in contrast was an hour shorter and consisted solely of Hax talking in front of the camera. Hax would speak on the subject through Twitter, posting an apology for the presentation of "Evidence.zip 2"<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1srnt6t|title=TwitLonger — @ssbmhax: Why I created Evidence.zip 2 / My closing thoughts for the time being}}</ref> and continuing to post comments about the "situation" of the ''Smash'' scene. The revised video would also be privated later on.

===iBDW conflict===
On June 21st, 2021, {{Sm|iBDW}} accused Hax for downplaying and making fun of iBDW's story of being sexually assaulted by his own mother.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/iBDWSSBM/status/1407082926337150976|title=iBDW's initial post}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sro2d0|title=TwitLonger — @iBDWSSBM: Hax's Rebuttal}}</ref> iBDW also tweeted that he attempted to retrieve evidence to support his claims from Facebook messages, but that Hax had deleted the relevant messages.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/iBDWSSBM/status/1407774396656324611|title=iBDW saying Hax deleted Facebook messages}}</ref> Hax responded in a series of now-deleted Tweets, accusing iBDW for faking the story in order to gain Hax's sympathy as well as taking his comment out-of-context.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://imgur.com/a/cr4nMjM|title=Hax's response, archived}}</ref>

Due to both the iBDW and Leffen controversies, on June 21st, {{Sm|Tiramisu}} announced that Hax was banned from the Melee Online Discord server.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/SSBM_tiramisu/status/1407140198048219137|title=Hax's online ban}}</ref>

Following the accusation and ban, as well as the evidence.zip 2 controversy, Hax posted a TwitLonger on June 23rd, in which he apologized on how he handled both controversies and claimed to "exonerate" himself from iBDW's claims.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sro2bu|title=TwitLonger — @ssbmhax: Apology, self-imposed hiatus, and exoneration from @iBDWSSBM's claims|accessdate=2021-06-23|archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20210623181226/https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sro2bu|archivedate=2021-06-23}}</ref> However, he refused to backtrack on any of the accusations made to both Leffen and iBDW. In particular, he reiterated how iBDW falsified many parts of his story in order to salvage their decaying friendship, and after that failed, iBDW went on to make several defamatory statements on Hax to try and ruin his reputation. Hax concluded the TwitLonger by once again apologizing for his behavior within the last few months and stating that he was willing to ban himself for 3 months due to how he initially handled iBDW's accusations. Hax then posted a second TwitLonger a few hours later, in which he further responded to iBDW's rebuttal, paragraph by paragraph.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sro2ju|title=TwitLonger — @ssbmhax: Response to @iBDWSSBM's TwitLonger|accessdate=2021-06-23|archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20210623224625/https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sro2ju|archivedate=2021-06-23}}</ref> Hax concluded this TwitLonger by asking iBDW to both contact him in private and dismiss his claims against him, lest he take legal action against him.

Within an hour of posting the second TwitLonger, Hax deleted his tweets that linked to both of the TwitLongers he had posted that day. He then tweeted that he would take a hiatus, saying he didn't find it possible to continue discussing the controversies.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/ssbmhax/status/1407844466984161281|title=Hax beginning a hiatus}}</ref> In the tweet, he also apologized to the community and reiterated his request for iBDW to contact him. The next day, iBDW revealed in a Twitter thread that the two indeed talked in private and were now mostly on the same page, noting that Hax is "clearly not cool with sexual assault/incest."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/iBDWSSBM/status/1408141235253039109|title=iBDW's thread addressing his private conversation with Hax}}</ref> Hax also returned to Twitter to post about the conversation, apologizing to iBDW, whom he called "a good man," and the community while also limiting his guilt to certain comments he made in his own Discord server.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/ssbmhax/status/1408153929456705538|title=Hax's statement on his conversation with iBDW}}</ref>

===Ban from events===
In June 2021, on the same day as iBDW's final announcement, several TOs from many US states signed a document that banned Hax from their tournaments, and his name was added to the Global Ban Database.<ref name="Hax Ban">{{cite web|url=https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qrO5TlLztX-9s7cI78_EfWNepIaHkwVa3379mC_glrw/edit|title=Hax's indefinite ban}}</ref> The ban was made using the previous [[SSB Code of Conduct Panel]]'s 2.2.1 (Level 2) and 2.2.3 (Level 3) offences and was deemed indefinite. The document iterated that Hax's accusations were baseless, particularly comparing Leffen's presence as a totalitarian regime, the belief that Leffen solely called out ZeRo for personal gain, and saying that Leffen would prefer ZeRo was dead following his suicide attempt, and that Hax's calls to deplatform Leffen constituted incitement for harassment. The TOs argued Hax's refusal to recant the statements and double down, only deeming the flaws as "tactical errors", were signs of malicious intent on Hax's part, and thus constituted an indefinite ban from events.

Notable events banning Hax$ include [[GENESIS]], {{Trn|Shine}}, [[Phoenix Blue]], [[Riptide]], [[The Big House]], and [[DreamHack]]. Outside of several US states, Hax$ is also banned from Austrian, British, Finnish, and Portuguese events, as well as Melee Online events.

As of February 1, 2024, Hax$ has been permanently banned due to repeated infractions.<ref name="Hax Permanent Ban" />

===Evidence.zip 3 & ban appeal===
On August 14th, 2021, Hax released another revision to his video called [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msy4E3ScZVk Evidence.zip 3]. In the video, which has since been privated and archived on a separate channel, he accuses Leffen of creating social engineering campaigns against multiple players, such as {{Sm|Hungrybox}} and Hax himself. The video also reiterates multiple allegations from "evidence.zip 2", such as character profiles from the original "evidence.zip" and alleged harassment levied towards Hax himself. Hax alleges that Leffen deleted 6 years worth of tweets in response to his evidence.zip 2 video, as well as being lawyer-bluffed. Hax also criticises his global ban from the scene, saying that his accusations had evidence and were not libelous or defamatory as his ban statement claimed, as well as claiming that his ban was hypocritical when doing nothing in regards to Leffen.

Building on some accusations from "evidence.zip 2", Hax points out Leffen's sudden tonal shift towards Hungrybox in 2017 and accuses him of social engineering against Hungrybox to usurp his followerbase. Hax discusses where he tried to talk Leffen out of this at [[Smash Summit 5]], but failed to do so. Hax accuses Leffen of blackmailing Hungrybox during 2017, where he continually talked about "terrible things" Hungrybox was doing but never releasing them; Hax claims that this prompted Hungrybox to stay silent. Hax also claims that the then newly introduced {{Sm|Snowy}} was used by Leffen in his now-deleted "One of many reasons to dislike hbox" video to create "Hungrybox story" memes, which eventually culminated into Hungrybox being harassed in a Walmart store in April 2018. Hax also argues that Leffen later decided Snowy was of no use to him and began to openly slander him.

Hax once again accused Leffen of manipulating the #MeToo movement, pointing out that the victim testimony given in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Y9Mfch7XXg his video on the allegations in the Smash community] on July 2nd contradicted C's statement in the original evidence.zip, which pinned Leffen himself as the abuser. He also accused Leffen of misrepresenting and even contradicting many claims in his videos on the topic, as well as making insincere tweets to "gain clout". Hax further criticised Leffen for circulating the rumour about {{Sm|Mew2King}} masturbating on a Smash player, which was [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVuEST8RdL8 proven to be false after Mew2King addressed the allegations]. Earlier in the video but relevant to this topic, Hax built upon {{Sm|Technicals}}' video on Sky Williams and also accused Leffen of conspiring with {{Sm|Jisu}}, whom he claimed was manipulative when they were dating, to defame {{Sm|ZeRo}} with baseless allegations, before verifiable accusations against him had emerged. He restated Technicals' claims that Leffen's allegations of ZeRo sharing pornographic images with other Smashers were moot, for not only were they of age, but they also testified that they were looking at normal images of anime girls instead of porn. Hax also pointed out that, prior to Jisu's allegations against ZeRo, Jisu contacted Leffen, and made [https://twitter.com/JisuArtist/status/1278843558401675264 her tweet statement] only minutes after Leffen tweeted that he would log out of [[Twitter]] to gather his thoughts. Hax claimed that this was strategic and part of the conspiracy, accusing Leffen of drawing attention to the allegations for personal gain and trying to become the most popular Smasher on [[Twitter]] by forcing ZeRo into retirement, allegedly in a similar manner to the way Leffen treated Hungrybox. Hax also believes that Leffen's wish to expel {{Sm|Technicals}} from the community in response to [[Smasher:ZeRo#Challenges_to_the_allegations|their challenges to the allegations]] is an attempt to further manipulate the situation.

Hax criticised Leffen for his response to {{Sm|Samox}}'s {{B|Metagame|documentary}} documentary, claiming he lied about his old controversies and pressured Samox to "censor" victim testimonies and other information regarding them. Hax also expressed concern about the revised version of the documentary, particularly regarding the narrative about the original evidence.zip and the portrayal of Leffen as a "hero", as well as how Leffen now had a theme song deriding the evidence.zip archive. He alleged that this set a precedent for top players to lie and control the narrative, and argued that Samox had not only become one of Leffen's "victims" by giving into Leffen's manipulations, but broke his "integrity" as a purveyor of facts by underrepresenting the accusations in evidence.zip. Later Samox would explain the change was unrelated to Leffen with it being changed due to an unnamed person who was interviewed threatening to sue if the clip of himself was used, with only a total of twenty seconds being changed.<ref>[https://twitter.com/_samox_/status/1750634235461865944/photo/3 Samox statement]</ref> 

Hax's final accusations targeted Leffen's social media behavior, particularly the alleged dishonesty of his profile bio's and him blocking anyone attempting to discuss the allegations on either Twitter or his [[Twitch]] stream. He restated a claim from evidence.zip 2 that this behavior exhibited a degree of narcissism and psychopathy indicative of the {{Iw|wikipedia|dark triad}}, something he believes those who testified in evidence.zip were worried would eventually "erode" the ''Smash'' scene. Hax also condemned Leffen for allegedly letting this behavior rub off on people like Jisu, who went silent on social media for several days after Technicals' video on Sky Williams and never offered a proper response to it, whilst blocking anyone that attempted to discuss it. Hax concluded the video by admitting that accusing Leffen of creating a "regime" is extreme, but alleged that there was no better way to describe Leffen's actions.

The video was criticised primarily for the same reasons as "evidence.zip 2", with onlookers expressing skepticism for a myriad of Hax's claims. Many argued that Hax's videos were indeed defamatory, with them believing that the claims and motives are out of character or even extreme. Others have criticised Hax for repeatedly using the original evidence.zip, believing that Leffen has changed and the antiquated nature of the document makes it questionable to cite. Finally, the video was criticised for comparing Leffen to Donald Trump as an allegory to paint the former as "totalitarian". Several community members also criticized Hax for getting more people involved in the controversy regardless of their relevance to the situation and therefore making them prone to harassment, most notably Samox. Nevertheless, some chose to side with Hax, particularly those who are fans of Technicals who believe that there is precedent for Leffen manipulating situations for his own benefit, as well as believing that Hax should not have been punished at all for his videos and public statements.

===Continued ban appeals, apologies, & partial unban===
On August 29th 2021, Hax released another video contesting his ban from the scene,<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9JhFRMsfM0 Hax - Public Appeal to My Ban from SSBM Tournaments]</ref> which directly addresses a document by Mikey outlining the reasons for his ban.<ref>[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hvwt27rktDHq4jlExKoqts7VIh4GAuI6Dx2ZjIfnAFc/edit Mikey's document explaining the reasons for Hax's ban]</ref> He criticized the statement for saying there was no evidence to back his allegations and for being overly generous to Leffen overall, and argues that the very logic used to justify his ban could be used to justify banning Leffen for his interactions with Hungrybox alone. The ban appeal was later unlisted and archived on a separate channel.

On September 24th 2021, Hax released a video<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pH5yvEPujE Apology video]</ref> where he apologised for his conduct throughout his conflict with Leffen, claiming it to come from an argument over the revision of the Metagame Documentary that he took too far. This also came with an apology tweet on [[Twitter]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/ssbmhax/status/1441537392226316304 Apology tweet]</ref>

On July 25th 2022, Hax issued a public apology to Leffen, Jisu, and others affected by his conduct resulting from evidence.zip 2.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CALXaO1ETCo Apology to Leffen]</ref> In the video, he revealed that he was suffering from alcoholism as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to a bout of psychosis. He also apologised for his comments on the #MeToo movement, citing his black and white thinking as a contributing factor. He revealed that since these events, he had been sober for 9 months and has been working on his personal issues. Hax would later private this video.

On January 1st, 2023, Hax was probationally unbanned from NYC Melee after agreeing to only appeal to be unbanned in private with TOs, among other clauses.<ref>[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_qBOMKYLdtPKXrnqoQZ2w8wiaHPNbv2O9J2fK-vvkEs/edit Hax's Probationary partial Unban ]</ref> Outside of NYC Melee Hax would be unbanned on the discretion of the individual TOs and Organizations, in which Hax would attend several majors and regionals outside of NYC Melee.

On 28th October 2023, Hax$ released a ban appeal and apology video on his YouTube channel,<ref>[https://youtu.be/4TGnw3W2FcM Oct '23 Ban Appeal]</ref> apologising to Leffen, tournament organisers, and more. He also discussed the progress he made in the 2 years since his ban. Despite breaking his unban agreement to not make public ban appeals the video was mostly positively received as Hax seemed to take accountability and showed remorse. Hax would later private this video.

===Relapse, doxxing, perma bans, and further apologies===
Hax$ would release another ban appeal on January 21, 2024, restating many of the same claims that led to his initial ban<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SR9A70YKxf4&ab_channel=Hax%24Archive Jan 2024 Unban Plea]</ref> wherein he also leaked the testimonies from the original 2013 [[Evidence.zip]]. The ban appeal was later unlisted and archived on a separate channel. Hax$ would release a video a week later entitled "The Truth",<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jn_J19CgFzo&t=476s&ab_channel=AzizAl-Yami "The Truth"]</ref> making similar claims and pointing once again to the leaked Evidence.zip testimonies. The video's publication led NYC Melee to reinstate his ban on January 23, as a result of breaking multiple clauses in the unban contract, including preventing public ban appeals, and violation of COC rules 2.2.2 & 2.2.3.<ref>[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bM5Rhc2ZRePWEzWAdAu_iUwZpQgjvPIUG7MfF_Rv99w/edit Hax's Ban from NYC Melee]</ref>

On January 27, Willy P, the head TO of NYC ''Melee'', made a personal statement regarding Hax's ban.<ref name="Willy P personal statement">{{cite web|url=https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yjv20zx1279TcGaQGMeLvu1iz_MLwpe82MCV9Z0Kzkg/edit|title=Willy P personal statement}}</ref> He states that they ignored his first ban appeal video, despite it violating the unban agreement, as they initially saw it as a legitimate sign of improvement and accepting responsibility. However, they decided to take action after the second one due to it revealing personal information he was not granted permission to disclose, whilst repeating many of the statements about Leffen that prompted his ban and removing videos in which he apologizes to him. Willy P also criticized Hax for not listening to the people who encouraged him to speak to TOs privately instead of posting his arguments out in the open. He stated that this was a sign that Hax had not actually improved or accepted responsibility, and was unlikely to do so with such flagrant disregard for the rules, so as such NYC Melee voted unanimously to ban him.

On February 1, 2024, TOs signed a new statement announcing that Hax was permanently banned, for multiple instances of inciting harassment, failing to take sufficient accountability for his actions, doubling down when confronted, and refusing to abide by the terms of his return to local events.<ref name="Hax Permanent Ban" />

On 7th March 2024, Hax$ released another apology video<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_--ksDQd2c Apology to Leffen, My Friends, and the Melee Community]</ref> where he apologises to Leffen and deemed his past behaviour "self-destructive" and discusses his previous relapses and decision-making, believing that none of what he did was honourable and was arguably an orchestrated harassment campaign. {{Sm|Mew2King}} notably requested unbanning of Hax$ on the basis of his own harassers not being banned at all, and in June 2024, went on to make a video on the matter.<ref>[https://youtu.be/_httcMT7Ri0 Mew2King video]</ref> On May 13, 2024, Hax made another video requesting to be unbanned at some point in the future.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VliN-J-K10&ab_channel=AzizAl-Yami Regarding My Ban]</ref> This video would later be unlisted. Willy P went on to post private messages he exchanged with Hax on Twitter, arguing that there were incongruities between Hax's public remarks and his private ones.<ref>[https://twitter.com/willypNYC/status/1794122939912114638 DarkGenex's private messages with Hax]</ref>

=== Hax's mental health revelations===
On 30th May 2024, {{Sm|DarkGenex}} released a statement regarding Hax's ban, detailing, among other things, a bipolar disorder diagnosis, hospitalisation, and suicide attempts, coming from his failed ban appeals. Additionally, DarkGenex recounted private handlings of Hax's ban, where Hax is shown to have harassed multiple TOs, including going to a post-venue bar to try and appeal his ban.<ref name="DarkGenex Document">{{cite web|url=https://imgur.com/a/hax-archive-do92DT4|title=DarkGenex Re: Hax & Mental Health Document}}</ref><ref>[https://x.com/CrispBit/status/1796219316565639316?t=jR6bokuO3rDLcKzWBakECA&s=19 Further corroboration of DarkGenex document and added details]</ref> <ref>[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jHUTly72RUao3APv2AN550Lk2UrGwKaeLUaCBerzRGA/edit?usp=drivesdk Hax & Mental Health Document original link]</ref>

The document would be made private in response to Hax's mother threatening a lawsuit, although Hax would claim he supported DarkGenex publicizing it, stating "the situation was a misunderstanding by other family members of mine and has been resolved".<ref>[https://twitter.com/ssbmhax/status/1798048376090746980 Hax defending DarkGenex and confirming the document's authenticity]</ref>

The revelations of Hax's mental health troubles prompted renewed discussion on relieving Hax of his ban. Several statements Hax has made on X have also been seen by the community as signs of Hax's deteriorating mental health, including being "fucked in life"<ref>[https://twitter.com/ssbmhax/status/1823363722615611812 Hax - "I’m genuinely fucked in life at this point, as I made all of my lifelong friends through it and so it’s impossible to rebuild."]</ref>, being "stranded from society"<ref>[https://twitter.com/ssbmhax/status/1822164920990941587 Hax - "For the past 6 months, my mother and I have been completely stranded from society." and "I’ve been hospitalized 4 times due to the stress I’m under causing me to repeatedly faint."</ref>, saying "every passing day is worse than the last"<ref>[https://twitter.com/ssbmhax/status/1796521475463418156 Hax - "Every passing day is worse than the last. I lose friends,  I lose my sanity, and I lose income."]</ref>, being left with "no future"<ref>[https://twitter.com/ssbmhax/status/1804597168679891300 Hax - "Please understand that a permanent ban effectively removes me from society and leaves me with no future."]</ref>, and describing his situation as being "akin to death"<ref>[https://twitter.com/ssbmhax/status/17965214754634181564 Hax - "The situation I'm in is akin to death, and it can only be salvaged with a "reset" on the ban situation. I beg for mercy in this time of need."]</ref>. Zain notably criticized the "FreeHax" movement for fueling Hax's dependency on playing competitive ''Melee'', arguing that an unban would fail to address the larger underlying problem.<ref>[https://twitter.com/ZainNaghmi/status/1804549730665459978 Zain's statement]</ref>

=== Post perma ban appeals, and stalking accusations===
On 30th July 2024, Hax$ released a ban appeal video, specifically regarding his perma-ban in January 2024.<ref>[https://youtu.be/0S6LeugSbro?si=SVjwm9UNbgzbNAYz Melee Community Permanent Ban Appeal]</ref> He brought up a claimed issue with getting private responses from TOs regarding how long his indefinite ban would be, due to ambiguity between the 2 year ban and indefinite clause. Due to an inability to get responses, he argued that, despite agreeing to only make ban appeals in private with TOs as per his probational partial unban agreement, his public ban appeals were justified, and that a 6 month ban would have been more justified. Given these factors, Hax deems the ban as "cruel" and that, in spite of his own faults, there were mistakes on both sides. The video was criticized due to Hax citing his original ban statement instead of his new one, and for not understanding what specifically he was banned for.

The day after, {{Sm|Radar}} criticized Hax for still arguing the claims in his initial videos, and continuing to deflect the blame to the TOs and inciting harassment against them.<ref>[https://twitter.com/radarssbm/status/1818430253058212040 Radar's Statement]</ref>. Willy P also posted that Hax has been stalking him in his attempts to get unbanned, such as by camping outside the venue then entering the venue and harassing staff, refused to leave, causing Hax to be banned from the venue, circumventing blocks on social media, and finding his way into his unrelated private work discord for his students<ref>[https://twitter.com/willypNYC/status/1819933789549732118 DarkGenex on Hax's stalking]</ref> <ref name="DarkGenex Document" />. Hax released a follow-up video clarifying points raised, arguing he was not a true repeat offender. He went on to condemn Technicals, the FreeHax movement, and "Dramatubers", as well as the harassment his videos incited, and asked to be put on final probation.  Hax concluded by declaring his intent to discuss his unban with the proper parties.<ref>[https://youtu.be/cxxbU2r9WsY?si=AGcA3pgJDcnlBJay Permanent Ban Appeal Part 2]</ref> Radar notably criticized Hax for causing his fans to harass him and not trying to defend him, deeming it unfair for how much he tried to help Hax<ref>[https://x.com/radarssbm/status/1818681012110680486 Radar Statement Addendum]</ref>. Both of these videos would be unlisted.

Following these videos, Hax would make several tweets about his ban. On August 1, 2024, he decried his ban as unjust and argued that he was not a threat, declaring he only took drastic measures due to him not getting unbanned when he believed he would. Hax further expressed confusion about being banned due to being "one of the hardest workers when it comes to the longevity of the game".<ref>[https://twitter.com/ssbmhax/status/1819119452467929579 Hax decrying ban]</ref>

on Aug 4, 2024 Hax responds to Willy P stalking accusation, calling them "defamatory". Hax says he only went inside after spending several minutes outside waiting for 2Saint to confirm he had permission to enter the venue. Hax did confess to circumventing his social media blocks to get messages to Willy P through others. Hax denied deliberately joining any private Discord servers, claiming that he merely entered several software engineering Discord communities and came upon Willy P's by chance. He concluded his statement by alleging that Willy failed to appreciate what he had done for him personally. Hax then states he is still willing to make amends, before calling him a coward.<ref>[https://twitter.com/ssbmhax/status/1820267164131057760 Hax's stalking rebuttal]</ref> Willy P would state that he is still being harassed<ref>[https://twitter.com/willypNYC/status/1819954638075953173 Willy P stating he is still being harassed]</ref> After failing to make amends with NYC Melee, Hax tweeted to them on August 11 asking to reconcile again, hoping they could fix things.<ref>[https://twitter.com/ssbmhax/status/1822599224749359154 Hax asking to reconcile with NYC Melee]</ref>

==Trivia==
[[File:HaxFalconB0XX.png|thumb|250px|{{Sm|Hax$}} holding the joke B0XX design.]]
*Hax popularized the "20XX" meme in the ''[[Melee]]'' community. 20XX is an allusion to the introduction of ''{{iw|wikipedia|Mega Man|1987 video game}}'', that announced that "The year is 20XX". 20XX describes a futuristic, potentially post-apocalyptic setting, where the [[metagame]] and [[technical skill]] of players have reached a point where they can no longer continue to improve. Accordingly, only {{SSBM|Fox}} is viable, and as players can perfectly capitalise on every situation, matches are determined by a rock-paper-scissors match for [[port priority]]. The joke is often referenced in Fox [[mirror match]]es and particularly impressive displays of tech skill by players. An example of this occurred at [[Apex 2014]], when during ''Melee'' doubles there was [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NE7NRAQDxRc&t=256s a match] during grand finals where all four players were playing Fox. The commentator, {{Sm|Prog}}, said "Are you aware of the year..." before his partner, {{Sm|D1}}, interrupts with "20XX. Here we go!". {{Sm|Toph}} had previously elaborated on the joke at [[The Big House 3]]:<br>''<blockquote>Hax's thing is like, "The year is 20XX. Everyone plays Fox." And there's this whole post-apocalyptic universe that is built off of Fox being the only viable character left. Humanity has reached its pinnacle. The peasants are living in poverty. And there are these monasteries where these Fox monks just levitate and [[TAS]] Fox with one controller in one hand, and win a tournament with the other. And the tournament metagame has gotten to this point where everything is played out to theoretical perfection, so they Rock-Paper-Scissors for port priority, and that's the set. And everyone gets really excited about the port priority RPS, so RPS's metagame has really evolved to where it's really just like RPS tournaments are now. And then we have warriors like [[Smasher:PewPewU|Kevin Toy]] and {{Sm|Europhoria}} desperately trying to prevent the apocalypse, the Fox Apocalypse, from happening with their Marths.''</blockquote>
**When interviewed at [[Super Nebulous 4]], Hax mentioned that both the ''20XX'' meme and his usage of Fox were partially attributable to {{Sm|Mango}} and {{Sm|PPMD}}.
**Similar to the 20XX meme, Hax also coined the term 666XX, about {{Sm|Hungrybox}}'s American dominance in early 2016 with {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}}.
**Since his switch to Fox, Hax commonly expresses his dislike for Captain Falcon as an inferior character in Melee, to the point where he claims the optimal strategy for using Captain Falcon is to "L R A Start Fox"-- or quitting out of the match to select Fox on the character select screen. Hax even [https://www.facebook.com/Smashgg/videos/1790930534506014/ created a B0XX] with only those buttons available on the "Falcon Design".
*Hax is known for starting a copypasta within the ''Smash'' community. After he [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzcIOB8aRbk lost to Mango] at [[The Big House 4]], where Mango was using {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}} and {{SSBM|Marth}} instead of his mains Fox and {{SSBM|Falco}}, [https://twitter.com/ssbmhax/status/518848227987451904 Hax tweeted] about Mango's "disrespectful" gameplay, accusing Mango of being "a straight up jerk" and "so BM [bad-mannered]" because he picked "joke characters" in a serious tournament match. The exaggerated language in this tweet has since led to its parroting on [[reddit]] and other online communities.
**Almost two years later at [[Pound 2016]], after [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrvVWGCctk4 Mango played Marth against Hax again and lost], Hax [https://twitter.com/ssbmhax/status/716775562547765249 tweeted the same message] as a humorous nod to the original post.
*In addition to ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', Hax has played a variety of games competitively:
**Hax placed 2nd in the 12 and under Nationals for the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBkWb2JYL4Y 2006 Pokemon Journey Across America Tournament.]
**Hax used to attend tournaments for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. He notably made it to the quarterfinals of the [[bulbapedia:2008 World Championships (TCG)|2008 World Championships]] Senior Division, after finishing the Swiss rounds in 1st place.
**In the game ''{{iw|wikipedia|League of Legends}}'', [http://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=ssbm+hax Hax] was one of the best Twisted Fate players in North America, attaining the Challenger rank (the highest in the game) two seasons in a row.
*Hax was the first player to reach 3000 elo on the [https://slippi.gg/leaderboards Slippi Leaderboards], achieving an elo of 3000.7 on [https://old.reddit.com/r/SSBM/comments/11hpr0m/hax_is_the_first_to_break_3000_elo_on_slippi/ March 3rd, 2023].
