Rethalwolf/BreckenDusk

Rethalwolf/BreckenDusk is a GameFAQs user who is very vocal about his takes.

### **Background and History:**

He has been known to post on GameFAQs since the Smash 4 board. Though it took until the Smash Ultimate times for him to become notorious for his MemoryMan3/JudgeGeno-esque Master Chief support saying he is confirmed to be in like a lunatic.[1] He even copied Hypnofeet's "Crash is coming" catchphrase.[2][3] He shifted goalposts multiple times. First he said Steve and Banjo had no chance, then after Banjo got in he said he was only used as a bargaining chip to include Master Chief and Steve has no chance[4][5][6] and after Steve got in he shifted the goalpost yet again to saying both Steve and Banjo only got in to pave the way for Master Chief.[7][8][9][10][11][12]

He caused a lot of negative attention with his infamous and xenophobic "Why the US is the main part of the west that Nintendo wants to please" topic where he presented not only ignorant takes on the video game industry as a whole but also on real world occurences like thinking every warfare of the U.S.A. was justified like the ones in Latin America[13] and children dying in the Middle East caused by U.S. bombing not mattering as he is so deluded into thinking it would be normal for children there to suicide bomb themselves.[14] Which proves he is blindly patriotic to an extreme degree and right-winged. The topic also resulted in many reaction topics.[15][16]

As proven by Yosuke\_Erdrick Rethalwolf used his alt account BreckenDusk for a long time pretending to be a friend of him and not himself and using it as a yes-man to back up his opinions with the logic of two saying the same thing makes it appear more important than only one saying it, Yosuke\_Erdrick found it first when BreckenDusk became active after multiple months of not posting only to suddenly defend Rethalwolf and finally when Yosuke\_Erdrick dug up evidence when Rethalwolf made a topic on the Pokemon Sun board where he linked to his DeviantArt account called BreckenDusk confirming this account was used as a sockpuppet since the Smash 4 times.[17][18][19][20]

He claims he was one of the first Master Chief supporters for Smash.[21]

On October 5th, 2020 shortly after the Steve reveal his main account was warned after making many insulting comments directed at users who tried to tell him Master Chief wouldn't happen anymore and as a result his BreckenDusk alt became active again making topics while his main account wasn't used for a few days.[22][23][24]

### **Personality:**

He is delusional and lacks any kind of self-awareness thinking one of the least likely characters with a lot of hurdles in his way is a shoo-in.[25][26][27][28][29][30]

He also gatekeeps many characters which combined with the previous attribute makes him a hypocrite.

He is also prone to quickly insult someone who disagrees with his opinion and is in general very arrogant.

He isn't shy to express his right-winged world views.[31][32]

As Yosuke-Erdrick pointed out BreckenDusk who always acted as Rethalwolf's yes-man was in fact a strawman installed by Rethalwolf, which he did admit himself after Yosuke-Erdrick dug up that he once posted a link of his Deviantart account which went under the name BreckenDusk. This shows he also isn't coy about committing shady activities and also that he liked to trick the board with a fraud account covered up as a friend of him.[33]

### **Most Wanteds:**

Master Chief[36]

Hayabusa[37]
