At Apex 2010, Hax once again lost in the first round of winners', this time to I.B from Canada. In doubles, he teamed with Darc and was rather successful, placing 4th. Hax then reached 13th place at Pound 4, the second highest placed Captain Falcon at the tournament (behind SilentSpectre, who was considered the strongest Captain Falcon at the time). He reached 7th place in Melee singles, besting many of the most talented players from North America and Europe.
They rose through the losers' bracket, but only reached 13th place. At GENESIS, he teamed with Hungrybox, where they were defeated by Armada and Aniolas in the winners' bracket. At that tournament, he defeated ChuDat in winners' bracket before losing to Jman, but went on another run through losers', this time taking out big names such as Anther, Scar, and Kage before losing to ChuDat in a rematch, placing 4th overall. Hax's next major was Apex 2009, which was also his biggest breakthrough in the Melee scene to that day. He then lost to Jman 0-2, with both games going down to the last stock, finishing at 13th in singles overall. A year later, at Revival of Melee, Hax once again showed fantastic prowess with his Captain Falcon he lost to Eggm in winners', but went on another mini-run through losers' bracket, taking out thumbswayup, HBK, and RaynEX. At his first major tournament, Pound 3, he placed 9th he lost to Mew2King in the first round of winners' bracket, then ran through losers' bracket and defeated LoZR, Silent Wolf, and Colbol in losers', then was eliminated by Azen. Hax began his Melee career as an up-and-coming Captain Falcon main who quickly rose up the ranks in his region. When switching to competitive Melee, Hax wanted a fourth character in the space given for tags in-game, and decided to add the dollar sign to it, eventually giving birth to "Hax$" or "Hax Money". The high number of angry players who would call "hax" after severe losses due to this prompted Hax to name himself after this term. In the context of competitive Pokémon, "hax" is lingo for the uncontrollable RNG involved in battles, such as critical hits, that can sometimes undeservedly turn the tide of a match.
Hax is currently ranked 1st on the New York City Power Rankings and 19th on the 2019 MPGR. By 2019, he was considered to be playing at a level similar to when he played on a GameCube controller. He would attend various Melee events showcasing the potential of the B0XX, and spent a long time balancing it to be as fair to a gamecube controller as possible. He has also slowly made a return to competitive Melee as of March 2017, having finally been treated for his hand problems. During this hiatus, he began working on the B0XX, a controller designed in a similar vein to the Smash Box by Hitbox, after having tested the Smash Box and finding it unsatisfactory. In April 2016, he went on a indefinite hiatus due to having a calcified FCU tendon, which was left untreated because no surgeon was willing to remove it.
He used to solo main Captain Falcon with the pink costume (commonly known as Captain Fabulous) however, in early 2014, he switched to solo maining Fox, and was widely regarded as the most technical Fox player when he was still active. Hax$ (pronounced "Hax Money"), informally known as Hax, is a Melee player based in Manhattan. CLASH Tournaments, VGBootCamp, Even Matchup Gaming
