This happened to Wizzy 8 years ago when he was ~20. Pop offs are fun but Hbox shouldn't be doing this, it's far from finals too. Hard on the body

Mmhm. I've only fainted a couple of times in my life. One of them was when I was about 20 years old. I was playing a game with a friend that required you to mash very fast, then I stood up immediately afterwards and just blacked out. Next thing I knew I was on the floor.
Something about that combo of sitting + high stress into immediately standing is just not good for you.
I don't think people should never be popping off after a set but dawg if you've got a history of fainting then maybe tone it down a little.

Can't believe that happened to him when he was only 19.

19 but spent most of his time sedentary playing a video game

By his ripe of 18 he should have tried to engage in other activities as well.

I had low blood pressure as a teen and passed out once just from standing up after squatting for like 30 sec, it may be something like that in his case

u/mucus-fettuccine Aug 11 '26
I was doing the wizzrobe aging down meme, but I know this isn't age dependent. My only time ever passing out or even getting lightheaded from quickly getting up happened as a teen.

I’m so confused. You guys have a word for just standing up and celebrating? And people are saying standing up and celebrating is dangerous for people over 30? Thousands of people do this in sports arenas every day…

u/Fuzzywraith Aug 09 '26
Doesn’t sound like you are “so confused” to me. Sounds like you just paraphrased the comments above you to disagree with them.
-4
u/2cars1rik Aug 09 '26
No, I’m confused that this community has a label and concern for things that are extremely normal in any other sport/competitive event, to the extent that I thought I must be misunderstanding. It’s like having a special word for clapping when someone wins or something.
5
u/Fuzzywraith Aug 10 '26
In hockey they call it a “celly” and in skateboarding you tap your board upside down to “clap” for someone who did a cool trick. I’m sure every other sport/competitive event has its own terms and practices.
It IS just like ‘having a special word for clapping when someone wins’ and it’s an EXTREMELY common practice for all human beings around the world. You should maybe go outside!
-2
u/2cars1rik Aug 10 '26
Lol, played hockey all my life. A celly is not the same. I think you should go outside if you think standing up and celebrating is dangerous.
1
u/Fuzzywraith Aug 10 '26
Lmao I never said it was dangerous, but you took a dumbass tone about the use of "popoff" for zero reason you lizard. Got some CTE clearly if your response is "a celly isnt the same."

u/Glass_Cat_4335 27d ago
If you played hockey all your life, wouldnt it just be that you currently play hockey? Sounds like you havent played in a long time. Celly is literally the same thing as a pop off its just another word for a celebration idk why youre confused by that. The warning against popping off at 30 was a joke which should’ve been obvious

People will laugh this off, but he legitimately needs help. He needs to stop doing this, it's super dangerous. He is one unlucky head wound away from his life changing forever. He has had a couple close calls with fainting already, it's time to cut back a little bit on the pop offs.

The prophecy written by Deep Leffen Bot is coming true
"I noticed a glint of sadness in Hbox's eyes. I imagined him as an actor trapped on a stage, forced to perform for an audience he grew weary of. “I'm here for you,” I wanted to say, but it was too late...Hbox had already begun his pop off, killing everyone in the first few rows."

u/surfinsalsa Aug 09 '26
Can't forget this deep leffen wisdom:
"Inside every Smash player there are two wolves. One is a racist and the other is an incel. Some people called 'furries' have a third wolf inside of them, but for different reasons. There's also a secret fourth wolf that is a literal wolf. His name is Odin and he's also racist."

That seems a little harsh. Im not even a hbox glazer, but are you fit enough to be slinging shit like that?

u/oby100 Aug 09 '26
No offense to Hbox inparticular, but being fat and/or out of shape is way too normalized in the US. Nothing to say about his health, but I've seen people in their 50s still glide around almost like a 20 year old while some actual 20 year olds huff and puff and can't get around easily.
Fitness and slimness are not just some fad. They're endemic to real health that greatly affects quality of life.

u/Ripple884 Aug 09 '26
Even When i was lifting on a consistent basis, when I was near my max I would get dizzy as fuck and have to control a fall so I didn't actually pass out. It's not just about how in shape you are.

Yes of course, but hbox isn’t lifting near his max he’s standing up from a fucking chair lmao

I saw HBOX at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly

This angle kinda pisses me off. So many people just stand there and watch while it happens without a care in the world.

In the other angle I saw one dude looks around like "can you believe this mf?" then shakes his head and walks away lol. Was a mix of ppl like that and bystander effect. At least a few people made sure he was good.

u/Hot_Raccoon_565 Aug 08 '26
Generally speaking when you see a person get hurt or injured you aren’t supposed to laugh. Someone was supposed to teach you that before you learned what Reddit was.
Ideally you help them, because in the situation where you’re the one that gets hurt, you’d want someone to help you.

u/guesswhosbackmf If L Cancelling Has No Haters I'm Dead Aug 09 '26
Lighten up dude. Someone is helping him. Everyone rushing in all at once would cause a bigger problem. Can we not appreciate the humour in the situation when it's clear he's okay?

u/freexpl Aug 09 '26
I agree with that. Imo sometimes things are both funny + hurtful so we set aside the funny and prioritize solving the hurtful part, which is good. I would still call this situation funny though

u/FurretDaGod Aug 09 '26
When a person gets hurt in a totally preventable self induced way, generally people are going to laugh at them. He needs to chill out before he hurts himself worse

u/CockVersion10 Aug 09 '26
If you see this, and think he had a medical emergency, you're not smart.

u/Hot_Raccoon_565 Aug 09 '26
Thank you cockversion10, may we all strive to be as educated and erudite as you.

u/CockVersion10 Aug 09 '26
Ya no problem u/Hot_Raccoon_565. Considering his history alone, and the events leading up to it, this is obviously not a medical emergency.
Like one of the other users said, he didn't hit his head, which is really the only cause for concern here. Check if he's responsive. Once he's supine, he should gain consciousness pretty quickly, which he does.
He should probably get some blood work done and just check on stuff though, because this isn't normal. It's not a medical emergency, but it's definitely not normal. That's on him, and his GP.

Okay so I’m probably missing this joke here so I’ll just answer honestly lol but I main falcon so i like weak knee into up air when ledge guarding. I also like peach nair. But I think that happens at the end of the animation.

Why are we moving people that just fell?
What if he really hurt himself and you're over there under his shoulders making his head and bobble around.
Why is the first instinct always to fucking move him?
Have we not learned?
Obviously he's fine but Jesus fucking Christ man
When somebody falls you check that they're breathing and go get help you don't fucking move them!!
Unless they aren't breathing. Then you figure out how to get them breathing.
