Leffen Tweeted on Friday evening that he is “concerned for [his] safety at events” and that he is seeking out legal representation after fellow Smash pro Aziz “Hax$” Al-Yami released a wild 2.5 hour long rant on Friday in which he accused TSMFTX Leffen of secretly manipulating the Smash community using psychological warfare tactics and took it upon himself to diagnose Leffen as a “dark triad” or “dark tetrad” Machiavellian dictator. 

Leffen Responded to the video, saying that he is concerned for his safety and is seeking out legal representation before saying any more about the situation.

Hax’s kicked off his video by quoting Hitler, which isn’t a great start if you want people to listen to you. He then went on to compare fellow smash pro-Leffen to Stalin and accuse him of “attempting totalitarianism”. He also accused Leffen of a laundry list of other poorly supported accusations, including claiming Leffen:

Additionally, he attempted to diagnose Leffen as a “dark traid”, which is a psychological concept that described an individual with narccism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism. Hax attempted his mental diagnosis without any expertise in psychiatry and without having direct access to the person he was diagnosing, which most experts would agree is wildly inappropriate.

The Smash community received the video and accompanying document poorly, with most reading it as unhinged and lacking credibility. A large number of fans in the Smash community tweeted and commented their support for Leffen both independently and under Leffen’s post regarding the situation.

We can expect Leffen to make a more complete comment on this situation after he has secured a lawyer.
