Zeldameister/JudgeGeno

**Zeldameister** and **JudgeGeno**, both of which are believed to be the same person, are two very infamous troll accounts well known for their numerous bans and copypasta threads.

### Background and History

#### History Outside of SmashFAQs

Zeldameister is an Austrian gamer known to lurk on forums.[1] His Youtube channel was created on November 9th 2007, his Twitter account in September of 2013 and he also has a Twitch account. As stated by GameFAQs user TourianTourist, he already knew Zeldameister from another website named ZeldaEurope (now known as ZeldaChronicles) where he already caused a lot of trouble for TourianToursit (who used to be a moderator there) since October of 2014 with his constant complains when he couldn't achieve success in Zelda games.[2][3] He was also part of numerous other forums like a Sims forum since July of 2009.[4]

As dug up by GameFAQs user duumb Zeldameister most likely already haunted numerous game boards and forums as early as the pre-Brawl times under names like "pokemeister", "wahrerpokemeister" and "pokemeister999", where he was already as obnoxious as he is today.[5][6]

#### Activities on SmashFAQs

Zeldameister's account was created in May of 2016. JudgeGeno's creation day, however, is unknown, as he's made dozens upon dozens of accounts that have all been banned (his accounts prior to JudgeGeno typically had names themed after scat, farting, urine, or were parodies of Vergeben's name). His JudgeGeno account was most likely created some day in July of 2019. It is also unknown when Zeldameister first appeared on SmashFAQs, but what is known is that he was very vocal and irritating about his interests for the game and would always make it clear that he believes all other opinions other than his owns are invalid.

In 2018, during Smash Ultimate's pre-release, JudgeGeno (then using the aforementioned toilet humor alts) was primarily an Isaac supporter, and spent much of his time arguing about Isaac's likelihood and raging against leakers who denied that he'd be playable and theories that concluded he wasn't getting in. In particular, he had a seething hatred for Vergeben and Box Theory, and was a devout believer in the Grinch Leak.

After a lot of teases during the DLC period by JudgeHeihachi he was fed up enough and with him being extremely confident about Lloyd Irving's inclusion he would create a topic announcing to bet his account for said character's inclusion to the game.[7] After the reveal of Byleth in January of 2020 it became official that he has in fact lost the bet, yet he refused to follow suit and close his account. He was given the name Welchmeister by the SmashFAQs community for welching his account bet and his topics became even more mad than ever before as the lack of Lloyd Irving in Smash must have seriously damaged his well-being. The mods took notice of his behaviour too and started suspending him for a month. He would later return even more obnoxious after the suspension and subsequent stay in purgatory ended and was quickly suspended again. This would start a cycle where he would appear once every one or two months, posts several topics about either a new DLC character or a controversial opinion, and then is sent straight to purgatory again by a moderator after about an hour and a half. JudgeGeno, on the other hand, was banned permanently around September 2019 after raiding the SmashFAQs Discord server with porn and gore, as well as making his infamous "So, is the Wonderwing mechanic supposed to be Banjo's "gimmick"?" topic. [1] Many of Zeldameister's topics have been turned into copypastas by many users across the board. Zeldameister is very persistent that JudgeGeno, who posts near identical topics, is not him, which only makes most users believe even more that they're the same. In June of 2020, Zeldameister was finally permabanned from GameFAQs. [2] It is currently unknown whether or not he will return once more under a new alias.

Outside of liking Isaac and Lloyd Irving he was also very vocal about his support for Sora and dislike for Geno as he saw those two in a competition for the next Square rep (which was totally pointless as Sora is owned by Disney). This is the exact opposite of JudgeGeno, who supports Geno and hates Sora only that JudgeGeno behaved even more extreme and obnoxious. This is why after some time of JudgeGeno constantly posting weird Geno theories on a daily basis, some SmashFAQs users came up with the theory that JudgeGeno was in fact just an alt of Zeldameister that he installed as a strawman to false-flag Geno fans and make them even more hated by the Smash community. Both accounts have denied these accusations with Zeldameister claiming to not be Judgegeno and JudgeGeno claiming to be a genuine Geno fan. This is questionable, as Zeldmeister has openly referenced things mentioned by JudgeGeno in private messages to users such as Slime and BrerOswald (which hadn't been made public prior to Zeldameister's references), and both have attacked BrerOswald's SmashFAQs Discord server by spamming the exact same pornographic images as eachother.

The JudgeGeno persona was used behind multiple accounts before its creation and after its banishment. JudgeGeno told SmashBurb in a PM that his first account on GameFAQs was Dumdumwantgumgum which was created in 2014 and posted until 2018.[8] GenoNumberOne, StinkyLittlePoo and his most recent account Tindkin[9] are accounts he created after his JudgeGeno account got banned. Some users also believe he might be secretely pulling the strings behind the KingIceSonic and soulofninjasoul accounts.

After an extended hiatus, JudgeGeno returned to GameFAQs on October 1st, 2020 (following the reveal of Minecraft Steve). Rather than using the Tindkin account, he instead appeared using one of his older scat/fart-based accounts, GassyGiant, bizarrely posting a troll thread about Byleth, rather than his typical Geno spiel[10]. In addition to that he also opened a new account called Yonah008, which was named after another banned account of him known as Yonah007, and posted a topic titled "I got banned for 2 weeks for using the nickname "F Minecraft".

### Parody Accounts

#### JudgeSora

**JudgeSora** popped up on SmashFAQs in September of 2019. While it is debated whether he is a parody or another alt, JudgeSora was known above all else to be whiny, entitled, and obsessed with exclamation marks.

After numerous flopics where everyone made fun of him, he finally decided to quit GameFAQs forever in his topic "I hav always been a good boy so I deserve to get my most wanteds! Sora Lloyd", stating, "Fine I'll leave this board for good! You ungrateful bunch do not deserve my presence! And even if you beg me to return, I will never come back!"

As far as we know, he has stayed true to his word and not been back since.

#### JudgeHeihachi

**JudgeHeihachi** created his SmashFAQs account on Monday, October 7th, 2019 at 6:16 PM. Motivated by Zeldameister's constant bashing on Heihachi and praising of Lloyd in his topics at that time, JudgeHeihachi made it his goal to take revenge on Zeldameister by becoming his polar opposite. As it was recently discovered that JudgeGeno was in fact highly likely to be an alt account of Zeldameister and at that time a flood of Judge accounts occured on the board, JudgeHeihachi thought it was only fitting to pick a Judge account as a username too to give Zeldameister a taste of his own medicine. He triggered Zeldameister regularly by saying Heihachi would be a much better pick than Lloyd, which ultimately infuriated Zeldameister so much that he made his infamous account bet on Lloyd's inclusion as Challenger Pack 5, which sealed the beginning of his demise. JudgeHeihachi's earliest topics were obvious parodies of Zeldameister topics and shortly after making those JudgeHeihachi became a regular user of the board.

#### JudgeDVa

JudgeDVa was a relatively minor JudgeGeno parody account. JudgeDVa made topics and posts about D.Va from Overwatch, always misspelled as "DVa." JudgeDVa would often call popular female requests "waifu bait" and would also quote D.Va by saying "LOL", ";)" (winky face), and "GG." JudgeDVa's account was eventually banned. After a while, JudgeDVa came back on a new account named "JudgeDVaReturns," where they asked to be be given a second chance. The mods did not give them a second chance, and JudgeDVaReturns was swiftly banned.

### Trivia:

* *Zeldameister* is a combination of *Zelda* and the German word for *master* and translates to *Zelda master*, which is ironic as he often seems to run into problems while playing through Zelda games.[16]

* Zeldameister is openly gay.[17]
* He also stated he is only interested in supporting characters he is sexually attracted to.[18]
	+ This is rather worrisome because characters he supported include Sora, Lloyd, Banjo and Klonoa, so two underage boys and two talking animals (the latter of whom is also presumably underage).
		- He is outright obsessed and in love with Sora.[19][20]
		- He also believes Young Link to be hot.[21]
			* This means he himself is what he calls out in the fourth category here:[22]
	+ He is a misogynist as he is outright hostile towards female characters and the female shape, as he claims he is repulsed and disgusted by it.[23][24]
* He fell for the fake KOS-MOS leak.[25][26]
* He was also adamant about believing there wouldn't be any further DLC after the first Fighters Pass, which again was wrong.[27]
