==Notable incidents of sandbagging==

*At the ''[[Smash 64]]'' tournament in [[Apex 2012]], Isai only used the [[Tier list#SSB tier list|bottom tier]] {{SSB|Link}}, though he still managed to place second, only losing to {{Sm|SuperBoomFan}}, which regardless of the sandbagging, was a remarkable feat with a bottom tier character.

**Also at Apex 2012, in an exhibition match against {{Sm|Captain Jack}} in ''[[Melee]]'', Isai played in an obvious sandbagging manner, to the audience's dismay.

*At the ''Smash 64'' tournament in [[Apex 2013]], Isai would again sandbag with his character choice, this time using {{SSB|Mario}}, despite the crowd yelling for him to use {{SSB|Pikachu}} several times. He placed second again, this time defeating SuperBoomFan, but losing to {{Sm|Kikoushi}} in Winner and Grand Finals.

*{{Sm|Mango}} went through a period where he adopted the persona of "[[Scorpion Master]]", and used {{SSBM|Mario}} at several tournaments, including the ''Melee'' tournament at [[Apex 2010]] (where he placed 25th instead of his usual top 4 placing).

**Unknown would then cause similar controversy in [[NEC 13]] by again sandbagging against Mew2King in Winner's bracket.

*Mew2King has recently picked up a habit of sandbagging in ''Melee'' (although not in a losing effort as he did to Sade years earlier), mostly in locals, smaller tournaments, or pools against opponents he does not deem to be as competent as he is.

:*At [[Omegacon 2013]], Mew2King sandbagged the second half of his loser's final set against {{Sm|Milkman}}. After destroying Milkman with his usual Sheik and ~~Marth~~, he shocked the audience when he chose {{SSBM|Mewtwo}} and {{SSBM|Roy}} to fight subsequent matches. Despite this, Mew2King still ended up winning the set with Roy after losing with Mewtwo.

After destroying Milkman with his usual Sheik and Fox, he shocked the audience when he chose {{SSBM|Mewtwo}} and {{SSBM|Roy}} to fight subsequent matches [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVMYW58juKs&t=5m20s]. Despite this, Mew2King still ended up winning the set with Roy after losing with Mewtwo.

::*Mew2King recently tried doing this again at [[The Big House 3]] on {{Sm|Toph}} after being guaranteed first place in his pools, regardless of whether he won that particular set or not. Toph, however, managed to avoid being humiliated, and defeated Mew2King to win the match 2-0.

:*At Smash Break #2, a bi-weekly, Mew2King sandbagged almost the entire tournament. He played low tier ~~character~~ such as his infamous {{SSBM|Mewtwo}} and even {{SSBM|Pichu}} against ''Brawl'' player {{Sm|Keitaro}} in ''Melee'', and still won by very noticeable margins. He also sandbagged his Grand Finals set with {{SSBM|TecZero}} after defeating him in less than 4 minutes during their Winner's Finals set; TecZero, knowing he would probably lose no matter what he did, agreed to do random mirror matches with Mew2King per the stream's request, and proceeded to lose badly in {{SSBM|Mr. Game & Watch}}, {{SSBM|Ice Climbers}}, and {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}} dittos.
