"*At this point Cybersai topic is the >shadman of this board*"
— ObeseCity in the parody topic "Cybersai Topic"

**Cybersai** is a well-known troll on SmashFAQs, often posting ridiculous topics to get people upset. It is common for other users to reply to his topics with the term "Cybersai flopic". He has an alt account called **Pokemonis**, and used to have one known as **Gloomy\_\_legend**. He is easily one of the most well-known and prolific trolls on the board, with the infamy from his antics being known even beyond SmashFAQs.

## Background and History

#### History Outside of SmashFAQs

"*He's not banned or anything, but you have to recognize the guy for still going at it with questions impossible to answer, rhetoric questions, hit-and-runs, abandoning his own threads after the OP, and switching sides to bipolar extremes. He sure loves his forum persona.

At times i think all he needs is a beer.*"
— Jarriaga in the IGN Boards

Even before he began his career on SmashFAQs, he had already built a reputation as a huge troll on other sites, particularly the IGN Boards. He began by building a reputation as a Nintendo fanboy in the early 2000s before becoming critical of Nintendo into the Wii era, constantly reminiscing over his love for older consoles such as the Gamecube. Cybersai would continue to further his career as a troll, joining dozens of sites where he would often employ his signature style, often on the Nintendo-related sections of these sites. In 2017, he started a thread on the IGN Boards known as "I spent my teens and my entire 20's trolling internet message boards", where he would mention the great length of time he had spent as a troll and regard it as "Time well spent."

### Activities on SmashFAQs

Cybersai originally joined GameFAQs on September 2015. He would begin to gain particular notoriety on the site starting on August 2018 with the beginning of his activities on the *Super Smash Bros. Ultimate* board. He has become infamous for his endless slew of topics, which are known for usually making odd points or complaining constantly about the game. In particular, he's been known for giving "hot takes" that have been known to either leave out crucial information or possess logical fallacies. Even despite most regulars on the board being aware of his usual tactics, his topics usually garner at least a page or two of responses. In the lead-up to the launch of *Super Smash Bros. Ultimate*, Cybersai presented himself as a huge supporter of Dixie Kong's inclusion in the game as a fighter, with him gaining the reputation of "Dixie Kong's biggest supporter" on the board despite his reception as a troll. This unsurprisingly was met with disgust from most other Dixie supporters, with many of them actively working to distance themselves from Cybersai. His support for the character would suffer defeat upon the reveal of the final base roster (sans Dixie Kong) on November 1, 2018, but he would not let this deter him from continuing to haunt the board into Ultimate's DLC period.

### notable events during the DLC period

In addition to his presence on the Smash boards, Cybersai is active on other parts of GameFAQs. Just recently, he's made such enlightening threads as "Why is Laura the most popular newcomer of Street Fighter V?" on the *Street Fighter V* board and "Are there any hot springs or bikini scenes with Tifa and Aerith in the game?" on the *Final Fantasy VII Remake* board.

#### Cybersai AMA

At the start of 2020, Cybersai held an Ask Me Anything thread on SmashFAQs. When asked by Tomasagaz14 how he felt about being one of the board's "biggest memes," he responded by stating, "I don’t consider myself a meme just a poster." Some other revelations from the thread (taken with a grain of salt) include:

* He's currently 34-35 years of age.
	+ When asked how he can be a boomer and a millennial at the same time, he responded by claiming that he's "older than half of the people here."
* His first game was Super Mario Bros., which he played with his parents on the NES in 1987, when he was 2-years-old.
* He's been on message boards since 2000, starting with IGN. He considers his troll reputation to be his "legacy."
* His username is a combination of Cybercubed, his old name on IGN, and sai, the weapon used by Raphael of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
* He started trolling on SmashFAQs since he feels that "smash speculation drives people nuts."
* His favorite song is "Who Let the Dogs Out" by Baha Men.
* He is black.

## Style

The typical Cybersai topic begins with the title either asking a question or giving some opinion pertaining to the game to varying degrees. His first post often doesn't elaborate much, instead dropping a "hot take" of his in a single sentence or two. After that, he will usually just leave others to debate on what he's posted, often just dropping a single reply or two (if that). He often makes these sorts of threads several times a day, hoping to get a reaction out of people.

On top of the similar posting style between Cybersai and his alts, he has been seen in a now-deleted posting as Pokemonis despite acting if he was Cybersai. [1] It should also be noticed that when Pokemonis was suspended during late May 2020, Cybersai almost immediately started posting in his own stead.

## Personality

Cybersai is a classic internet troll who takes great pride in his largely negative reputation across the internet. His style is literally built primarily just to rile others up while he watches the action unfold from a distance. As shown by comments such as those from his recent AMA on Smash speculation, he enjoys being a harbinger of madness.

He has been shown to be very nostalgic, in particular to the fifth and sixth generations of video games. This trait has often factored into his topics, such as "Why do people think there's a rivalry between Zelda and Final Fantasy?," which seemed to be made just so he had a chance to reminisce on the N64 vs. PS1 rivalry. He's been shown to be quite aware of his age, on several occasions pointing out and reveling in how he's spend over a decade and a half as a troll.
