'''Hax's Nightclub @ Operating System NYC''', commonly shortened to ''HNC'' or '''Hax's Nightclub''', is the premier ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' weekly/local in New York City, being a replacement for [[Nebulous]] since its closure. It has been run since September 2019. It is run on Wednesday nights (7:30 PM) by {{Sm|Hax$}}, {{Sm|DarkGenex}}, Jeremy, and various other people. The tournaments are sponsored by [[Even Matchup Gaming]], being Hax's sponsor; and Andbox, a "family of gamers, artists, makers and breakers" who also sponsor other competitive events/teams (NYXL) at this 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. Along with the usual Tri-State players, the well-ran events have had many out-of-state players come, such as {{Sm|Kalamazhu}}, due to the high level of weekly competition. Tournament winners include {{Sm|Rishi}}, {{Sm|Captain Smuckers}}, and rising star/hidden boss {{Sm|Aklo}}, among others. It is currently on hiatus, like most other tournaments, due to [[COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on competitive Smash|the COVID-19 pandemic]].
