The first non-local in-person tournament back was the regional [[LVL UP EXPO 2023]] where Hax would get a respectable 4th placement. Likewise, Hax would get 4th in the next regional [[The Come Up 2023]]. The only true major Hax could attend was [[Tipped Off 14: Resurgence]], where Hax placed 17th, winning 3-0 against {{sm|n0ne}} and losing to {{sm|MOF}} and {{sm|Mekk}}. [[Smash Factor X]] would be Hax's biggest set wins and best placement of the year with Hax getting notable wins on {{sm|S2J}}, {{sm|lucky}}, and {{sm|Eddy Mexico}} to reach grand finals where Hax would win the first set on {{sm|Hungrybox}} during Grand Finals, with {{sm|Hungrybox}} winning the runback causing Hax to earn 2nd place. The [[The Off-Season 2]] would be a pseudo-major-level charity invite tournament where Hax got into the singles final bracket through the open bracket being one of four to do so having to beat {{sm|SFOP}} and {{sm|Skerzo}} to get into the invite bracket, where Hax would get 9h placement losing to {{sm|Zain}} and {{sm|Salt}}. In [[The Function 3]] Hax would get 4th place with a notable win on {{sm|Jmook}}, then losing to {{sm|Aklo}} and {{sm|Chem}}. | The first non-local in-person tournament back was the regional [[LVL UP EXPO 2023]] where Hax would get a respectable 4th placement.

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. | 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.

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, entering the venue and harassing staff, then refusing to leave, leading to his ban from the venue; circumventing blocks on social media; and finding his way into Willy P's unrelated private work Discord for his students.<ref>[https://twitter.com/willypNYC/status/1819933789549732118 | 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>.

He went on to condemn Technicals, the FreeHax movement, and in Hax's words "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>.

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> | Following these videos, Hax would make several tweets about his ban.
