Decorated Super Smash Bros. Melee Player Under Fire for Sexual Harassment During Stream

One of the most decorated Super Smash Bros. Melee players, Joseph “Mang0” Marquez, is currently under fire for sexually harassing women on stream during an event that Ludwig Ahgren planned, called Beerio Kart 2025. 

The event, which might be obvious because of its name, has a lot to do with alcohol and Mario Kart. In simple terms, players are going to play Mario Kart while also drinking copious amounts of beer. This is where things have turned sour for the other participants, as Mang0’s behavior made people uncomfortable, especially females.

In a short clip by LiveStream Fails on X, it can be seen that Mang0 is making humping motions close to another streamer by the name of Maya Higa, and the clip shows just how uncomfortable she was around him. Milli, another X user, posted another clip of Mang0 doing the same thing but in a different part of the venue. According to a report by Dexerto, he was even seen humping a cardboard cutout of himself in the corner.

Mang0 has issued an apology on X, saying that he’s going to privately apologize to anyone he made uncomfortable and hopes they can forgive him. He also added that he’s going to re-evaluate his relationship with alcohol. However, most of his fans are just asking him to quit alcohol entirely, as this is not the first time the player has gotten in trouble due to the beverage. His sponsor, Cloud9, has not issued a statement yet.

The event organizer, Ludwig Ahgren, has decided not to invite Mang0 to future Mogul Moves events. He said that the whole point of an event is to have a fun time, but nobody should feel uncomfortable because of one person, hence the ban.

Mang0, as previously mentioned, is one of the best and most decorated Super Smash Bros. Melee players in the world. He’s considered by many to be the greatest of all time when it comes to the game and the best player ever. He’s a member of the Five Gods of Melee.
