'''Leffen''' is a professional smasher from Stockholm, Sweden. He is currently considered to be one of the best ''[[Melee]]'' players in the world and the best player in Europe. He started off as a {{SSBM|Falco}} main<!--Leffen has stated multiple times that he has never mained Yoshi-->, but later switched to {{SSBM|Fox}}, and is now known as one of the best and most technical Fox players in the world and one of the best {{SSBM|Sheik}} players in the world, using Sheik as a counterpick to {{SSBM|Marth}}. He is the first of only two players in competitive ''Melee'' history to have taken a set off of each of the [[Five Gods]] (the other being {{Sm|Plup}}), and has often been called a god himself since his ascent in 2014. Leffen is currently ranked 1st on the [[Swedish Power Rankings|Swedish Melee Power Rankings]] | '''Leffen''' is a professional smasher from Stockholm, Sweden.

Although Leffen didn't play ''Brawl'' competitively and only went to a few ''Smash 4'' tournaments, he was active in ''[[Ultimate]]'' for the game's first year, maining {{SSBU|Pokémon Trainer}} and briefly touching {{SSBU|Pichu}} and {{SSBU|Roy}}. During this period, he was considered one of the best Pokémon Trainer players in the world along with {{Sm|Tweek}}, {{Sm|moxi}}, and {{Sm|Ned}}. Leffen has defeated players such as Tweek, {{Sm|Salem}}, {{Sm|WaDi}}, {{Sm|Puppeh}}, {{Sm|Mr.R}}, {{Sm|Maister}}, {{Sm|ZD}}, and {{Sm|8BitMan}}. He was listed as an Honorable Mention on both the [[Swedish Power Rankings|Swedish Ultimate Power Rankings]] and the [[European Smash Rankings]], and was formerly ranked in the Area 51 position on the [[Fall 2019 PGRU]]. | Although Leffen didn't play ''Brawl'' competitively and only went to a few ''Smash 4'' tournaments, he was active in ''[[Ultimate]]'' for the game's first year, maining {{SSBU|Pokémon Trainer}} and briefly touching {{SSBU|Pichu}} and {{SSBU|Roy}}.

Throughout the course of 2012, Leffen established himself as Europe's second-strongest player behind {{Sm|Armada}}, with key results at {{Trn|Smashers' Reunion: Melee Grande}} and at {{Trn|hf.lan 4}}. He sparred often with Armada, making headway but never taking a set. He came closest at {{Trn|Beauty 6}} in January 2013, where he was leading winners' finals 3-2 (in a best-of-7) and brought the sixth game to last stock before Armada clutched out the victory, going on to win the set 4-3. | Throughout the course of 2012, Leffen established himself as Europe's second-strongest player behind {{Sm|Armada}}, with key results at {{Trn|Smashers' Reunion: Melee Grande}} and at {{Trn|hf.lan 4}}.

Leffen also began traveling to North American supermajors during this time, and was noted as one of Armada's frequent travel companions from Europe. He displayed many respectable performances vs. the world's best players, but ultimately failed to make any top eight placings in North America from 2011 to 2013. {{Trn|GENESIS 2}} was his first tournament in the United States, where he placed 17th, defeating {{Sm|SFAT}} in pools, but losing to SFAT and {{Sm|S2J}} in bracket. At {{Trn|Apex 2012}}, his first serious event as a Fox main, Leffen placed 33rd, and lost a last-hit set to {{Sm|Mew2King}} in winners. At {{Trn|Apex 2013}}, Leffen defeated {{Sm|MacD}} and {{Sm|Cactuar}} in winners to meet {{Sm|Hungrybox}}. He made a splash by bringing Hungrybox to last hit but lost this set as well; this close loss would go on to inspire a [[Salty Suite]] rematch the following year. In losers, Leffen lost another last-hit set to {{Sm|JAVI}}, placing 17th. | Leffen also began traveling to North American supermajors during this time, and was noted as one of Armada's frequent travel companions from Europe.

In February 2013, a group of prominent TOs and community members (led by Armada) announced that [[#Ban from European tournaments | In February 2013, a group of prominent TOs and community members (led by Armada) announced that [[Smasher:Leffen#Ban from European tournaments|Leffen was banned]] was from many European tournaments due to his conduct. As a result, he only attended three tournaments for the rest of year. His most significant result was at {{Trn|EVO 2013}}, where he defeated {{Sm|PewPewU}} before losing to Hungrybox and {{Sm|Shroomed}} in losers to place 9th, his strongest placing at an American tournament to date. He and {{Sm|Ice}} scored an upset victory in doubles against eventual victors {{Sm|Mew2King}} and {{Sm|Hungrybox}}; the European team went on to place 5th. | ||
Leffen also attended a [[Tristate Area|New York City]] local in September called CFST: Warzone 2, where he suffered unusual losses to {{Sm|MattDotZeb}} and {{Sm|G$}}, perhaps due to lack of practice. He finished out the year at {{Trn|hf.lan 6}} where he placed second, defeating {{Sm|Baxon}} and {{Sm|Salepate}} convincingly before losing two close sets to {{Sm|Ice}}. Given his powerful play despite his scarce results, Leffen was ranked 14th on the [[2013 SSBMRank]]. | Leffen also attended a [[Tristate Area|New York City]] local in September called CFST: Warzone 2, where he suffered unusual losses to {{Sm|MattDotZeb}} and {{Sm|G$}}, perhaps due to lack of practice.

Despite being unable to travel to the United States, Leffen was still able to compete in [[Canada]], and entered majors in the spring of 2016. At {{Trn|Enthusiast Gaming Live Expo}}, Leffen lost to {{Sm|Axe}} and {{Sm|Duck}} to finish an underwhelming 7th. However, he rebounded at {{Trn|Get On My Level 2016}}, where he defeated Mew2King 3-2, Armada 3-1, Hungrybox 3-2, and Mang0 3-1 to take 1st place without losing a set. Leffen's GOML run is often regarded as one of the most difficult and impressive tournament runs in ''Melee'' history, as he defeated all four active Gods in succession. | Despite being unable to travel to the United States, Leffen was still able to compete in [[Canada]], and entered majors in the spring of 2016.

Leffen's biggest tournament win to date came at {{Trn|EVO 2018}}, where he finally won the coveted title after many years of coming short. After going down 0-1 vs. Hungrybox in winners' semis, he didn't drop a single game for the rest of the tournament; he made the comeback against Hungrybox to win 2-1, and then easily defeated Plup 3-0 in winners' finals, followed by a 3-0 over Armada in grand finals to win one of the largest ''Melee'' tournaments of all time.

Leffen was one of the top players most heavily affected by the [[COVID-19]] pandemic, due to his location in Europe. He was unable to enter many North American online events, as they were often region-locked for European players due to high ping issues. During this time, Leffen was perceived to be a top three player in the world, alongside Zain and Mang0, but it was difficult to compare his skill against other players due to a lack of results. | Leffen was one of the top players most heavily affected by the [[COVID-19]] pandemic, due to his location in Europe.

Despite splitting time between the two titles, Leffen still proved that he was capable of winning a major and defeating the best players in the world. His first post-lockdown victory came at {{Trn|Battle of BC 4}}, where he beat {{Sm|aMSa}}, Hungrybox, and Zain twice. In 2023, he won {{Trn|Ludwig Ahgren Championship Series 5}}, where after losing to {{Sm|Joshman}} and {{Sm|Cody Schwab}} in pools, he managed to make it out of the Swiss bracket and into winners' top 16. He beat Hungrybox 3-0, Zain 3-2, Cody Schwab in winners' finals, and Zain once again in the runback. | ||
During this time, Leffen also developed his secondary {{SSBM|Sheik}} as a counterpick to {{SSBM|Marth}}, due to his previous difficulties against Zain in the Fox-Marth matchup. He used Sheik to double eliminate Zain at both Battle of BC 4 and LACS 5, and is one of the few players who holds a positive record against Zain post-pandemic. | During this time, Leffen also developed his secondary {{SSBM|Sheik}} as a counterpick to {{SSBM|Marth}}, due to his previous difficulties against Zain in the Fox-Marth matchup.

He was one of the early pioneers of using {{SSBU|Pokémon Trainer}} and has since used the character successfully in tournaments. Leffen briefly dropped Pokémon Trainer in favor of {{SSBU|Roy}} and {{SSBU|Pichu}} in April 2019, citing that Pokémon Trainer was not worth the effort, but he would eventually return to the character.

At the end of April, Leffen announced his semi-retirement from ''Ultimate'' singles, mainly citing the smaller scene in Sweden and issues with online play making it difficult for him to get any meaningful practice.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/TSM_Leffen/status/1120003964995551234|title=Leffen's first ''Ultimate'' retirement}}</ref> However, the release of {{SSBU|Hero}} saw his return to the game, and he intended to compete in {{Trn|EVO 2019}}, but issues with his visa kept him from doing so.

Despite being considered one of the best professional smashers in ''Melee'', Leffen has led a controversial career as a smasher, due to his previously rude conduct during and outside of tournaments. Several players, most of which were new smashers to the scene, accused him of: | |||
*deliberately [[sandbagging]] in pools by playing low tier characters while insulting his opponent's skill throughout and after the match. | |||
*spreading exaggerated rumors about others, making rude and provocative comments on [[SmashBoards]], and deliberately starting arguments with users. | |||
*further blaming other people when confronted about his actions, using his status as a top professional player to decrease his punishments. | |||
After noticing his poor behavior, Swedish tournament organizers and other ''Melee'' professionals of his caliber gave him repeated warnings concerning his attitude. In August 2012, Leffen was eventually threatened with a ban from tournaments if he did not improve his attitude, but he did not take the claim seriously. This led to further discussions among the European ''Smash'' community that culminated in his [http://www.smashboards.com/threads/leffen-is-banned.333990/ national ban from Swedish tournaments], effective February 9th, 2013. | |||
The discussion group announcing his ban compiled a significant amount of evidence of his poor behavior into a downloadable archive, and demanded that Leffen create a lengthy apology about all of his wrongdoings and how he would change his behavior in the future, should he return to the community. On March 21st, 2013, [http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1rjbt3e Leffen made his public statement asking for forgiveness]; despite this, he was not immediately unbanned, and ended up missing almost one year's worth of local tournaments. On January 24th, 2014, it was announced by {{Sm|Armada}} that the Swedish ban on Leffen was no longer in place [https://www.facebook.com/events/182185045312694/permalink/206413366223195/?stream_ref=2]. Since the ban, Leffen remains a relatively controversial figure in the community, especially on social media sites such as Reddit and Twitter, due to his blunt comments. | |||

At [[Heir II the Throne]], Leffen was banned from commentary on all future European Smash Circuit events for saying that it wasn't a "serious" tournament and players were playing their secondaries and not trying. Leffen notably compared the tournament to [[The Foundry]], a series notorious for its relaxed and non-competitive atmosphere. Many argued that the TOs had overreacted in their decision, and that a full ban was an excessively harsh punishment.<!--This is definitely true, just needs a citation to bring up to wiki standards--> | |||
