 ===600 Hours and TAS===
 On November 13th, 2016, [[Reddit]] user _quote made a [https://www.reddit.com/r/SSBM/comments/5cp2ei/daily_discussion_thread_111316/d9yhpax/?st=j2xxbyzn&sh=09ab6d3e comment] on the r/SSBM Daily Discussion Thread about his suspicion over 600 Hours' validity. They stated that the timer values were all similar and the opponents did similar things that were done by CPUs in his TAS videos. They also said that everything scrumpy went for was unsafe and he NEVER misses a move the entire combo video. Scrumpy says that he is nowhere near good at the game in the description, but what is demonstrated in the video would disagree with that, as not even human reaction is as good as that. There are also nearly no stale moves in the video, which would imply not a full match was played. However, none of this was solid evidence and was instead just reasons to be suspicious. Then, on November 15, 2016, another [https://www.reddit.com/r/SSBM/comments/5d5lqo/i_think_i_have_nearly_conclusive_proof_that_600/?st=j2xx9k7a&sh=8a2037f9 post] came out on r/SSBM by Pwnemon proving that there are little to none stale moves in the entire video and compared the to stale combos, with some checkups by Practical_TAS in the comments. Finally, on November 25, 2016, Practical_TAS made a [https://www.reddit.com/r/SSBM/comments/5ekzfe/my_last_words_on_magicscrumpys_young_link_the/?st=j2xx97ps&sh=12084834 post] on r/SSBM with proof that the values in the combo video are all incredibly rare if not faked, which he implies they are. Since the business was over, mods of r/SSBM decided to ban 600 Hours threads. For a while, it seemed that scrumpy would not reply, until [https://www.reddit.com/r/SSBM/comments/5ekzfe/my_last_words_on_magicscrumpys_young_link_the/dadiwiz/?st=j2xy14u2&sh=87bbcd49 screenshots] from his public Discord server were posted of him acting inappropriately. He said that he was being attacked and instead of directly responding, he'll add non-skipable ads on the video to maximize profit off of the drama. He also said that he felt like "selling out" (his words, not mine) to Smash 4, and blamed the entire thing on drama instead of his actions. It was also revealed that he submitted the combo video for a $100 (USD) cash prize. He did not win, but it was wrong of him to steal the money. Months later, on March 2, 2017, scrumpy [https://twitter.com/magicscrumpy/status/837213295669051392 tweeted] a Pastebin link about his response. He said that only some of the clips were TASed, some were staged, and some were real. The reason for faking some clips was because the song he wanted to use was too long and he didn't want to throw away his clips. He also said that he was unaware of a cash price for the tournament. This response was highly critised however. Many said that they didn't believe that only some clips were TAS, and this was because he never said what was TAS and what was staged and what was real. This was probably because it would've been proven wrong. There was also no reason to go through the trouble of staging a combo with a friend if he could just set timer values and TAS a combo. People also didn't believe he didn't know there was a cash prize, because that would've been in the description and comments for the tournament. A Steam private message also surfaced in the replies of the tweet of him saying it wasn't TAS, even after the accusations. In the end, this situation has been a huge blow on scrumpy's reputation and some view him as a liar because of this.
-===Nerfing Fox===
-One of scrumpy's most notable videos in his Rebalancing Melee series is about [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dHi4t-idPU nerfing Fox]. The video goes over what scrumpy would do to make Fox not nearly as good as he is in vanilla Melee (NSTC), while still making him feel like Fox. However, the video got over 1000 dislikes (but still 6000 more likes than dislikes) and was even disliked by top player Leffen. A common complaint is that Fox wasn't given a clear weakness. Every character has weakness, from Falcon's recovery to Pikachu's range. His motive was to make Fox still feel familiar, but the idea of nerfing him contradicts that message.
-===scrumpy VS Leffen on "Nerfing Fox"===
-Leffen then [https://twitter.com/TSM_Leffen/status/775061604304097280 tweeted] that he thought the video was terrible without giving specific reasoning. Scrumpy then [https://twitter.com/MagicScrumpy/status/775062630805430272 replied] asking why he didn't like it but he was still okay with Leffen not liking it. But then Leffen [https://twitter.com/TSM_Leffen/status/775063835065610240 replied] saying he was clickbaiting for views and money, but scrumpy actually [https://twitter.com/MagicScrumpy/status/775064086258257920 agreed] saying it was geared towards lower level players and that he didn't think top players would like it. However, Leffen [https://twitter.com/TSM_Leffen/status/775064511887896576 continued] to insult him, comparing him to Omni. Scrumpy [https://twitter.com/MagicScrumpy/status/775065575122960385 said] he would stop replying and told Leffen stop starting drama. However Leffen [https://twitter.com/TSM_Leffen/status/775074118622478336 continued] to insult scrumpy and said he was [https://twitter.com/TSM_Leffen/status/775074306636279812 triggered]. However, more people disagreed with Leffen's immature behavior rather than scrumpy's video, including GimR from VGBC. An example of this is the amount of dislikes on Leffen's [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVdtFVWg95o stream] of nerfed Fox, with 1/3 of them being dislikes.
 ===SD Remix Plagiarism===
 On November 29th, 2016, Reddit user Ripple884 posted a [https://www.reddit.com/r/SSBM/comments/5fkeg7/magic_scrumpy_has_been_copying_values_from_sd/?st=j2xx94qj&sh=31f24153 thread] onto r/SSBM exposing scrumpy for copying the exact values from the mod SD Remix for his Rebalancing Melee series and claiming them as his own and making money off of ad revenue on the videos. The characters with unoriginal changes were Zelda, Link, Donkey Kong, Ness, Game & Watch, Bowser, and DK. This means the only characters with original changes were Kirby, Roy, and Ganondorf (an already borderline viable character).
-===Public Discord Hostility===
-Scrumpy's public [[Discord]] server is known for being incredibly hostile and having one strong opinion that doesn't change. scrumpy has also been known for talking behind his friends' like Alpharad back's. If a person is has strong opinions that contradict the opinion of the server, they typically get kicked or humiliated. Some of the member of the moderation team can be hypocritical when talking about others, when they do the same thing but is impossible to prove because normal users can't post images. The reason for why there are 300 member but mostly only mods talk is because many people are labeled as a "shitter" for their opinion.
