“I’m legit concerned with my safety at events with this level of things.”

That was William “Leffen” Hjelte on Twitter following Smash player Aziz “Hax$” Al-Yami lansând un videoclip de 2.5 ore comparing Leffen to dictators like Adolf Hitler. Hax$ explained that the Melee community is reaching a “dystopian future” that was the result of “evil” people like Leffen manipulating the scene. 

Following the shocking video, Leffen expressed concern. He said he wasn’t even sure what to do.

Luckily for Leffen, most of the Smash community was on his side, calling Hax$ “unhinged” and “crazy.” While some of Hax$’s points were seen as valid, like Leffen being a bully and toxic on Twitter, the rant was overall seen as problematic and anti-Asian. The comparisons to Hitler and other past leaders also seemed to take away from Hax$’s points and made the video too extreme for most people in the Smash scene. 

Se pare că aceasta includea Beyond the Summit, organizatori populari de turnee Smash. Compania a anunțat ieri că Hax$ nu mai este binevenit la Smash Summit 11. 

“Many people have expressed concerns about the content of Hax$’s video to us,” Beyond the Summit explained. “We take the safety of our Smash Summit 11 players and attendees very seriously and do not condone behavior that encourages harassment or threats towards any of our players or staff.” 

After reviewing Hax$’s video, Beyond the Summit decided that the Smash player won’t be allowed to attend the event in any capacity. 

Hax$ did not outright respond to the news but tweeted something soon after the announcement. He explained that the “other side” is brainwashing the community and “corrupting the press.” 

While a lot of people responded that Hax$ should “get help” for his continued conspiracy theories about the Smash community, some Smash players did note that Beyond the Summit should also ban Leffen if they truly did not condone “harassment or threats,” since Leffen has continuously bullied people on social media. 

Other Smash fans expressed that Hax$ should only be banned temporarily until he “gets help.” Of course, nobody online can diagnose Hax$ and it’s not clear what truly caused the Smash veteran to release the extensive video attacking Leffen. Either way, Hax$’s fans are disappointed with this turn of events and are hoping Hax$ is okay. 

Cine este Hax$?

Cunoscut anterior ca HAX FUCKING MONEY, Hax$ este un jucător de lungă durată la corp la corp din New York. El a fost principalul Captain Falcon și folosea doar costumul roz, numit Captain Fabulous, dar a trecut la Fox în 2014. De acolo, a devenit cunoscut ca unul dintre cei mai tehnici jucători Fox din scena activă Melee pro. 

Hax$ este cunoscut pentru că lucrează la B0XX, un controler creat special pentru Smash. A fost creat în timpul pauzei sale din joc, dar l-a adus la multe evenimente când a concurat, încercând să facă din acesta o alternativă corectă la controlerul GameCube. 

În 2019, Hax$ s-a clasat pe primul loc în lista New York City Power Rankings și pe locul 19 în lista MPGR.
