The lifetime ban against Hax is ridiculous and cruel. You can make a better argument that hbox is more dangerous in tournaments with his pop offs lol #FreeHax
Dude Hax literally did the exact same thing that got him banned and recanted his apology. doxxed people, stalked people, and was straight told by TO's if he released the videos that got him perma banned he would be perma banned. Yes hax should TO's the videos before releasing them publically.
Hax$ played amazingly, it terms of technical he outperformed every other spacie by a landslide. He only really lost from a game sense perspective which was overcomplicating things when he really didn't need to. Also a lot of bad rolls and other interactions which mostly went unpunished because Hbox focuses on game sense and not always reactions and tech chases. Hax definitely could break into the top 10 which good practice if he plays like this. From my perspective Hax is using the best options that Fox has, which isn't always the best if you opponent also knows what the best options are. So a slower timing or an imperfect option maybe the best option against a player like Hbox that easily gets mixed up leading to better and safer combos. Instead of just ending a stock in a single string. Mad props to Hax$ I hope to see him usher in 20XX
@@AL-lh2ht the TOs do not make up the entire smash scene the community does. Once people understand that they can pick and choose whatever NEW TOs they want by voting together.
Hax$ full hop air dodged 90 degrees forward like 4 times. He’s still kick my ass, but to say there was basically zero flubs is a bit silly. Plus, all the dash back nairs in the opposite direction. Unless he’s doing some weird hurtbox shifting technique; that doesn’t seem intentional
Bro lost a stock with a tournament winner as well. It did feel like Hax was doing all he could, but could break through hbox's and punishes that led to kills instantly.
Perhepys Hax should stop defaming people, and it was way more then just Leffen. Also his schizo behavior in private. There is a reason his local community hates him.

So close in Semis, but still a decent showing to get to Grands Every TO still insisting a lifetime ban is warranted and trying to pressure Mexico to not allow him/not report on the biggest tournament of that weekend are such clowns
Every time Hax tweets about someone they get death threats, Hax recanted his apology and did the exact same thing that got him banned. That is why he is banned.
TO's were very specific in saying hax is not in fact danger to people but it was from the fact he kept inciting harassment against community member, why more then just leffen, and refused to stop making his allegations even after years of refusing to stop.
Hax was partially unbanned and activly competed for almost a year, then hax relapsed and did the exact some thing that got I'm originally banned. so hax is perma banned
Hax ban: a few years ago Hax made multi hour schizo videos defaming and declaring unhinged conspiracy theories directed at several top players and TO’s, when the community went “bro WTF? Not cool” Hax doubled down for months making even more schizo videos untill he was banned. At the same time he also had several other controversies, including making fun of someone for being graped. Then like a year or two ago he was partially unbanned from many tournaments, including some majors. Hax then made more schizo videos that both broke his unban agreement and also bluntly stated he lied and insincere of his previous apologies. Hax has also became figure head of the smash hatedom community. So whenever Hax tweets people get death threats.
Hax made insane allegations on several members of the community, then refused to stop repeating them and making new allegations for several months while also being in a unrelated controversy for making fun of being r@@pped. He then would tell TO's he still believed in his original claims in private while publically apologizing, would be made partially unbanned, then relapses restaing his original allegations that got him banned, then doxxed some people, and then chery on top decided to stalk some people.
Hax was rebanned due to hax making several videos remaking many of the same claims that originally got him banned years ago, literally recanted his apology. He relapsed hard. He is now perma banned
Hax$ wearing that particular shirt in grands is mad funny if you think about it. So glad he's back, already putting in work and making me laugh. Actual legend
