'''Hax$''' (pronounced "Hax Money"), informally known as '''Hax''', is a ''[[Melee]]'' player based in Manhattan. He used to solo [[main]] {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}} with the [[Alternate costume (SSBM)#Captain Falcon|pink costume]] (commonly known as Captain Fabulous); however, in early 2014, he switched to solo maining {{SSBM|Fox}}, and was widely regarded as the most technical Fox player when he was still active. In April 2016, he went on a indefinite hiatus due to having a calcified FCU tendon, which was left untreated because no surgeon was willing to remove it. During this hiatus, he began working on the [[B0XX]], a controller designed in a similar vein to the Smash Box by Hitbox, after having tested the Smash Box and finding it unsatisfactory. He has also slowly made a return to competitive ''Melee'' as of March 2017, having finally been treated for his hand problems. He would attend various ''Melee'' events showcasing the potential of the B0XX, and spent a long time balancing it to be as fair to a GameCube controller as possible. By 2019, he was considered to be playing at a level similar to when he played on a GameCube controller.

==History==
As of June 2021, Hax$ has been banned from tournaments due to repeated - allegedly defamatory - remarks made towards {{Sm|Leffen}}, and Hax's persistent reinforcement of these statements<ref name="Hax Ban" />, which were deemed to constitute harassment.
 
==Tournament History==
 
{{cleanup|More information about post-ban era activity and other information that may be notable. Paragraphs could also be simplified.}}
===Origin of the name===
===Origin of the name===
Hax used to be into competitive Pokémon. In the context of competitive Pokémon, "hax" is lingo for the uncontrollable RNG involved in battles, such as critical hits, that can sometimes undeservedly turn the tide of a match. The high number of angry players who would call "hax" after severe losses due to this prompted Hax to name himself after this term. When switching to competitive ''Melee'', Hax wanted a fourth character in the space given for [[Name|tags]] in-game, and decided to add the dollar sign to it, eventually giving birth to "Hax$" or "Hax Money".

On the same day as iBDW's final announcement, several TOs signed a document that indefinitely banned Hax from their tournaments, and his name was added to the Global Ban Database.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qrO5TlLztX-9s7cI78_EfWNepIaHkwVa3379mC_glrw/edit|title=Hax's indefinite ban}}</ref>
===Ban from Events===
In June 2021, on the same day as iBDW's final announcement, several TOs from many US states signed a document that banned Hax from their tournaments, and his name was added to the Global Ban Database.<ref name="Hax Ban">{{cite web|url=https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qrO5TlLztX-9s7cI78_EfWNepIaHkwVa3379mC_glrw/edit|title=Hax's indefinite ban}}</ref> The ban was made using the previous [[SSB Code of Conduct Panel]]'s 2.2.1 (Level 2) and 2.2.3 (Level 3) offences and was deemed indefinite.


===Evidence.zip 3 and ban plea===
The ban reasoning can be summarised as follows:
# The accusations were deemed baseless, particularly comparing Leffen's presence as a totalitarian regime, the belief that Leffen solely called out ZeRo for personal gain, and saying that Leffen would prefer ZeRo was dead following his suicide attempt.
# The calls to deplatform Leffen constituted incitement for harassment, and his fanbase response shows that this incitement has teeth to it.
# Hax$'s refusal to recant the statements and double down, only deeming the flaws as "tactical errors", show a lack of remorse for his actions and that these were fully intentional, not simply mistakes.
Under the rationale of the accusations being baseless, considering the 4 hours of content and the 136-page document, these remarks were deemed extremely severe and constituted an indefinite ban from events.
 
Notable events banning Hax$ include [[GENESIS]], [[Tournament:Shine|Shine]], [[Phoenix Blue]], [[Riptide]], [[The Big House]], and [[DreamHack]]. Outside of several US states, Hax$ is also banned from Austrian, British, Finnish, and Portuguese events, as well as Melee Online events.
 
As of January 2024, Hax$ has been unbanned from some events, but not all, prompting continued ban appeals.
===Evidence.zip 3 & Ban Appeal===
On August 14th, 2021, Hax released another revision to his video called [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msy4E3ScZVk Evidence.zip 3]. In the video, he accuses Leffen of creating social engineering campaigns against multiple players, such as {{Sm|Hungrybox}} and Hax himself. The video also reiterates multiple allegations from "evidence.zip 2", such as character profiles from the original "evidence.zip" and alleged harassment levied towards Hax himself. Hax alleges that Leffen deleted 6 years worth of tweets in response to his evidence.zip 2 video, as well as being lawyer-bluffed. Hax also criticises his global ban from the scene, saying that his accusations had evidence and were not libelous or defamatory as his ban statement claimed, as well as claiming that his ban was hypocritical when doing nothing in regards to Leffen.

Building on some accusations from "evidence.zip 2", Hax points out Leffen's sudden tonal shift towards Hungrybox in 2017 and accuses him of social engineering against Hungrybox to usurp his followerbase. Hax discusses where he tried to talk Leffen out of this at [[Smash Summit 5]], but failed to do so. Hax accuses Leffen of blackmailing Hungrybox during 2017, where he continually talked about "terrible things" Hungrybox was doing but never releasing them; Hax claims that this prompted Hungrybox to stay silent. Hax also claims that the then newly introduced {{Sm|Snowy}} was used by Leffen in his now-deleted "One of many reasons to dislike hbox" video to create "Hungrybox story" memes, which eventually culminated into Hungrybox being harassed in a Walmart store in April 2018. Hax also argues that Leffen later decided Snowy was of no use to him and began to openly slander him.

Hax also claims that the then newly introduced {{Sm|Snowy}} was used by Leffen in his now-deleted "One of many reasons to dislike hbox" video to create "Hungrybox story" memes, which eventually culminated into Hungrybox being harassed in a Walmart store in April 2018. Hax also argues that Leffen later decided Snowy was of no use to him and began to openly slander him.


Hax once again accused Leffen of manipulating the #MeToo movement, pointing out that the victim testimony given in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Y9Mfch7XXg his video on the allegations in the Smash community] on July 2nd contradicted C's statement in the original evidence.zip, which pinned Leffen himself as the abuser. He also accused Leffen of misrepresenting and even contradicting many claims in his videos on the topic, as well as making insincere tweets to "gain clout". Hax further criticised Leffen for circulating the rumour about {{Sm|Mew2King}} masturbating on a Smash player, which was [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVuEST8RdL8 proven to be false after Mew2King addressed the allegations]. Earlier in the video but relevant to this topic, Hax built upon Technicals' video on Sky Williams and also accused Leffen of conspiring with {{Sm|Jisu}}, whom he claimed was manipulative when they were dating, to defame {{Sm|ZeRo}} with baseless allegations, before verifiable accusations against him had emerged. He restated Technicals' claims that Leffen's allegations of ZeRo sharing pornographic images with other Smashers were moot, for not only were they of age, but they also testified that they were looking at normal images of anime girls instead of porn. Hax also pointed out that, prior to Jisu's allegations against ZeRo, Jisu contacted Leffen, and made [https://twitter.com/JisuArtist/status/1278843558401675264 her tweet statement] only minutes after Leffen tweeted that he would log out of [[Twitter]] to gather his thoughts. Hax claimed that this was strategic and part of the conspiracy, accusing Leffen of drawing attention to the allegations for personal gain and trying to become the most popular Smasher on [[Twitter]] by forcing ZeRo into retirement, allegedly in a similar manner to the way Leffen treated Hungrybox. Hax also believes that Leffen's wish to expel {{Sm|Technicals}} from the community in response to [[Smasher:ZeRo#Challenges_to_the_allegations|their challenges to the allegations]] is an attempt to further manipulate the situation.

Hax criticised Leffen for his response to {{Sm|Samox}}'s {{B|Metagame|documentary}} documentary, claiming he lied about his old controversies and pressured Samox to "censor" victim testimonies and other information regarding them. Hax also expressed concern about the revised version of the documentary, particularly regarding the narrative about the original evidence.zip and the portrayal of Leffen as a "hero", as well as how Leffen now had a theme song deriding the evidence.zip archive. He alleged that this set a precedent for top players to lie and control the narrative, and argued that Samox had not only become one of Leffen's "victims" by giving into Leffen's manipulations, but broke his "integrity" as a purveyor of facts by underrepresenting the accusations in evidence.zip.

The video was criticised primarily for the same reasons as "evidence.zip 2", with onlookers expressing skepticism for a myriad of Hax's claims. Many argued that Hax's videos were indeed defamatory, with them believing that the claims and motives are out of character or even extreme. Others have criticised Hax for repeatedly using the original evidence.zip, believing that Leffen has changed and the antiquated nature of the document makes it questionable to cite. Finally, the video was criticised for comparing Leffen to Donald Trump as an allegory to paint the former as "totalitarian". Nevertheless, some in the community have chosen to side with Hax, particularly those who watched Technicals' video on Sky Williams and agreed that there is precedent for Leffen manipulating situations for his own benefit, as well as agreeing that Hax's ban was unjustified and hypocritical.

===Continued Ban Appeals & Apologies===
On August 29th 2021, Hax released another video contesting his ban from the scene<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9JhFRMsfM0 Hax - Public Appeal to My Ban from SSBM Tournaments]</ref>, which directly addresses a document by Mikey outlining the reasons for his ban<ref>[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hvwt27rktDHq4jlExKoqts7VIh4GAuI6Dx2ZjIfnAFc/edit Mikey's document explaining the reasons for Hax's ban]</ref>. He criticized the statement for saying there was no evidence to back his allegations and for being overly generous to Leffen overall, and argues that the very logic used to justify his ban could be used to justify banning Leffen for his interactions with Hungrybox alone.
