The Nightclub, previously known as Hax's Nightclub @ Operating System NYC or HNC/Hax's Nightclub, was the premier Super Smash Bros. Melee weekly/local in New York City, being a replacement for Nebulous since its closure. It ran from September 2019 to March 2025 on Wednesday nights (7:30 PM).

The tournament was sponsored by Andbox, a "family of gamers, artists, makers and breakers" who also sponsor other competitive events/teams (NYXL) at the location. The venue has helped spark the renaissance of the NYC Melee scene, and the current Melee New York City Power Rankings are based primarily on these results. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event was held online for a few iterations, and an emphasis on a player cap was made for in-person events. Events usually featured a cap, ranging from 48 in earlier iterations to 128 in later iterations.

Due to controversies surrounding Hax$, the event was renamed to The Nightclub. The first rebranded tournament was on July 28th, 2021. Following Hax$'s passing, the event was discontinued and replaced with Stock Exchange.

Experimental ruleset

The tournament is known for its experimental ruleset compared to other locals around the United States. These include:

• Running on lagless widescreen HDMI monitors through an UnclePunch/Achilles (creator of 20XX) mod
• "Frozen" stages (Pokémon Stadium without transformations, Dream Land without wind, and Yoshi's Story without Shy Guys)
  • A different stage list due to these changes with Battlefield, Dream Land 64, Fountain of Dreams, Pokémon Stadium, and Yoshi's Story as starters, with Final Destination as a Counterpick
• Anti-Wobbling patch, which forces pummels to let go of characters after a certain amount
• Ledge grab limit of 60
• Removing the bright white cloudy portion of the FD transformation due to blinding visuals
