MagicScrumpy did not publicly address this issue for months; however, members of his public [[Discord]] posted [https://www.reddit.com/r/SSBM/comments/5ekzfe/my_last_words_on_magicscrumpys_young_link_the/dadiwiz/?st=j2xy14u2&sh=87bbcd49 screenshots] of him reacting inappropriately to the situation while it unfolded. Notably, he admitted to putting unskippable advertisements on "600 Hours" to gain revenue from those looking to scrutinize the video, and harshly attacked the community, while dismissing the accusations as "drama" that he would disprove once the initial outrage had settled. Around this time, community members remembered that he had submitted "600 Hours" to a combo video competition with a cash prize of $100 USD for 1st place, although he did not win. This further fueled the outrage, with many denouncing him for submitting a tool-assisted video, viewing said action as dishonest and fraudulent, which would irreparably damage his reputation in the ''Melee'' community. | MagicScrumpy did not publicly address this issue for months; however, members of his public [[Discord]] posted [https://www.reddit.com/r/SSBM/comments/5ekzfe/my_last_words_on_magicscrumpys_young_link_the/dadiwiz/?st=j2xy14u2&sh=87bbcd49 screenshots] of him reacting inappropriately to the situation while it unfolded.

Months later, on March 2nd, 2017, MagicScrumpy posted a Pastebin link on his [[Twitter]] account responding to the situation, which he has since deleted. He admitted that parts of "600 Hours" were tool-assisted, but maintained that | Months later, on March 2nd, 2017, MagicScrumpy posted a Pastebin link on his [[Twitter]] account responding to the situation, which he has since deleted. He admitted that parts of "600 Hours" were tool-assisted or staged, but maintained that some clips were real; however, he did not indicate which of the combos fell into which category. He recalled that the song he wanted to use for the video was too long, and that he did not have enough real clips to fill out its length, leading him to fake some of the combos to fill the empty space. scrumpy also claimed that he was unaware that the combo video competition had a cash prize. The community largely deemed his apology somewhat insincere before it was removed. | ||
