UPDATE October 17, 2026, 9:30am PT: Professional Super Smash Bros. player Jason 'Mew2King' Zimmerman has responded after his post about a bug infestation in his home resulted in him being banned from a competitive tournament.

Mew2King took to X/Twitter to share a lengthy document regarding the online response to his post. The letter, which is more than 3,000 words long at the time of this update, saw the fighting game community member attempt to clarify a number of details surrounding his original, now-deleted post.

He said he lives with a caretaker, eight cats, and two dogs, and has only ever seen fleas in his home, which usually come from the cats. He also added that the viral photos of his leg were not captured recently and were instead actually from three months ago.

"I made some mistakes when posting out of frustration/venting that I regret," Mew2King said. "I mentioned that I get bit several times every week, but in the total year I was in Ohio it was very inconsistent as to when it happened, with some weeks (maybe months?) having nothing at all, and also some 2-3 day spans being bad (mostly several months ago). I don't have every exact timeline memorized for the whole year, but sometimes I misspeak and make mistakes or aren't always accurate but then realize later."

Made a post about my thoughts on things. Ngl im turning off replies cuz of the types of mean msgs many ppl sent me that i dont want to see or deal with.
