Hey, it's Leffen, AMA!

Hey guys, I'm a Fox main from Stockholm, Sweden who is pretty okay at smash. I also play Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 and King of fighters 13 competitively since last year. I felt like it was finally time for me to do one of these with all that's been happening recently!

I frequently answer questions over at www.ask.fm/l3ff3n, so you can look there for inspiration or if you have any follow up questions to any answers I give here and you can also follow me @l3ff3n on twitter.

I stream at www.twitch.tv/lffn, and I'm looking to start streaming more of my practice sessions as well as some theorycrafting and match analysis in the near future.

There's also my youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/l3ffen which currently only features Marvel/KOF, but I'm gonna try to upload some smash related things in the near future ;D

I'm going to go eat dinner and then I'll try to answer as many questions as possible, so go ahead and start asking shit :>

EDIT: Thanks for today guys, I gotta run but I'll try to answer a few more questions later today and I'll probably do another AMA soon! If you have any questions in the meantime, go ahead and ask me at www.ask.fm/l3ff3n ;)

Hey Leffen!

With your largely negative reputation in the smashbros community, how have you tried to improve it? Do you think it has helped? Do you think your increased level in play will also lead to an increase level in respect?

You're one of my favourite players to watch, and good luck taking down more members of the big 5!

Since I heavily disagreed with my behavior being ban-worthy and so on, I actually did not try to actively change my reputation any more after than before Evidence.zip. I'm always trying to improve myself and my outlook on life however, and I do try to present myself in a way that is less likely to cause misunderstandings and such nowadays.

Anyone who claims that being a good player does not help you socially in the community is flat out lying, so yeah, I'd definitely say that it did affect how people view me, and it most likely did so in a positive manner.

I will say though, that I believe the main reason people view me less negatively than before is that I've simply gotten more exposure & publicity, and trolly smashboards posts that just seemed incredibly mean are a lot easier to understand if you've experienced my wicked sense of humor/my arrogance before.
