*Canadian Fox main, {{Sm|Unknown522}} incited controversy at [[Revival of Melee 5]] by refusing to play his main against {{Sm|Mew2King}} in grand finals, [[john|claiming]] to be tired.

**Unknown would then cause similar controversy in [http://www.smashboards.com/threads/nec-13-road-to-apex-2013-results.330624/ 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.

*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. Various examples include him humiliating {{sm|Keitaro}} with {{SSBM|Pichu}} at a bi-weekly [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5bGZYy6mDU] and destroying a low-leveled {{SSBM|Bowser}} player in dittos at Fight Pitt III [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJts4rxdoKQ].

**At [http://www.smashboards.com/threads/omegacon-2013.340887/ Omegacon 2013] Mew2King sandbagged the second half of his grand finals set against {{Sm|Milkman}}. 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 characters such as his infamous {{SSBM|Mewtwo}} and even {{SSBM|Pichu}} against ''Brawl'' player {{Sm|Keitaro}} in ''Melee'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5bGZYy6mDU], and still won by very noticeable margins. He also sandbagged his Grand Finals set with {{SSBM|Teczero}} after defeating him in less than 5 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.[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbWiC3552rU]
