Hax$, a Super Smash Brothers Melee player, has died- allegedly a lingering death of infection after jumping in front of a train eight months ago in a suicide attempt and badly mangling his leg, but I haven't been able to confirm that.
He has a thread
here and people in the Super Smash Brothers Community thread are
talking about it there too.
The summary: in 2021 Hax$ released a rambling, 100+ page callout document of some guy called "Leffen" who apparently controls the Super Smash Brothers community and all its jannies and tournament organizers with an iron fist. In this document Hax$ sperged out about his passion being ruined by Leffen, making grandiose references to Hitler and so on.
After that he was made a pariah in the community, banned from all the tournaments, his accomplishments and contributions to community projects had his name scrubbed from them and were taken credit for by other people, and in general he was made to beg and grovel for forgiveness, which was dangled cruelly in front of him like a carrot on a stick. He never was let back in to the community, and it affected him so badly he killed himself over it.
He was right about Leffen by the way, just dramatic and autistic about the way he worded it. And so we lose the one Super Smash Brothers lolcow that wasn't known for fucking young teenagers. Those people are fine and accepted within the community so long as they make an apology post on Twitter when they get caught, provided they don't step on Leffen's toes.
It's October for the next gamba sesh dood. (if BMJ gets back to streaming at all)
