This just proves how much of a gaming god Billy is. To get over a million on DK with a 2004 version of MAME and all the lag he likely had to deal with is nothing short of omnipotent.

He's also got a 960k live DK score and the first perfect Pac-Man score, also done live (the other guy making the claim missed the regenerating dots on board 256).

Having met him in person, this guy comes across as a super caring individual. It's like talking to your own grandpa who genuinely loves you. He will take time no matter how busy he is to share a moment with you. I know walter day was and still is quite involved in transcendental meditation and learned about it in fairfield iowa at maharishi university, home of a bunch of way out there teachings. I've lived in the ottumwa area my whole life and have to say, these maharishi folks are fucking strange. We call them "floaters" as they believe they can levitate through meditation. In reality, they are bouncing off their ass up into the air, not floating. They meditate so deeply that they often shit and piss themselves during.

At a hardware store I used to work at, "floaters" would come in and say they wanted to buy a toaster. They would literally look at dozens of toasters, out of box to find a model they wanted. They would then look at dozens of the particular model and find one that was "just right". IDK if it was mechanical defects they were looking for or thinking it had some spiritual meaning or what. These guys are fucking loaded with money relative to the rest of the surrounding areas. They will buy a multi thousand dollar home stereo and then throw it out in a few months and get another one. I honestly think they fleece celebrities (see the beatles and jim carrey) to get money. It's a very strange cult like organization.

He's very charismatic and that could be explained by his practices with this organization. IDK if he still deals with them, but he learned it there. Think scientology with less direct evil.

I have no idea of his ethics, trustworthiness etc., but the guy seems to genuinely care about people and has close relationships with his vivya "disciples". Maybe objective truth isn't as important as these relationships. Anyway, thought I might actually have something to add to the discussion, hope some anons find it interesting.

>> No.4563115

So basically, he's a cult nutter that manipulates people and acts nice to pull people into the bullshit. Got it.

>> No.4563123 [DELETED] 

>>4563115

Basically. IIRC the university or guru, whichever would also sell mantras to people to use for meditation. Basically you make a "donation" and get a mantra. I'm not entirely versed in the subject, pretty much talked to a few people that used to be in the movement.

The beatles one was one of the most famous, look it up if interested.

When I used to go to church one of my old pastors actually used to be into the meditation part, I guess they can even make their hearts stop briefly. He got to that point and it scared him. He said it made him realize this was a satanic influence that was trying to control his very life or death. I'm not trying to say this is correct, but it's how he described it. It made him realize what he was doing was wrong and led him to convert to christianity.

Honestly the whole subject is pretty interesting, even down to them fleecing celebrities and such. I mentioned Jim Carrey earlier, if you watch some of his interviews and documentaries, you'll realize the guy is pretty off. He's been a guest speaker at maharishi (videos are online), so he's really into it. I like some of his comedies, but man is the guy a nutter.

Arcades changed and developed a lot in the mid 80's, and for a lot of people for the better, so I don't know where you're coming from.
It's called golden age because back then arcades had little home competition; almost nothing in Japan and the Atari in the US was very inferior to the arcade experience, so it's natural they were at their peak of popularity worldwide.

Quick rundown:

I understand that Todd Rogers claims are absolute fraud, because most of his scores were suspicious and recently it was technically / reverse engineering proven that 5.51 is impossible in Dragster.

With Mitchell's case, as far I understand is that for his DK scores:
- The video capture of his gameplay are proven to be from MAME and not from real board?
- This raises a suspicion that it would be TASed?
- His biggest score from donkeykong site was removed, thus he fall behind in the leaderboard with his another score
- and TwinGalaxies still persists

>> No.4573841

>>4573750
More or less, yeah.

The issue is that basically footage of all his scores above one million show screen transitions that don't happen on any revision of the real arcade board but do happen with historical versions of MAME.

His highest valid score at the moment is in the 900k+ range which was verified to have taken place in front of a live audience. Current record is something like 1.32m, so a difference of 400,000 points.

And current word on the street in KoK2 is in the works and this is all just a publicity stunt.

Can you provide an example of this? I'm not even sure what you could be referring to. In the majority of speedrunning communities, any official version of any is permitted for competition. And even if there are restrictions, creating a base for fair play is not the equivalent to creating an investigation into potential cheaters.

Also, the latter isn't even true lmao. Both Mitchell and Rogers have been accused of cheating for years. Speedrun.com has literally never allowed Rogers time on their Dragster board. It was a Twin Galaxies issue, and TG isn't the "speedrunning community".

This isn't true. Every case in which a cheater has been caught has been within a few years of submission at worst. Rogers is the sole exception, namely because there was no actual speedrunning community in 1983, and Activision believed his bullshit. Activision isn't the speedrunning community.

Moreover, Rogers HAS been suspected of cheating for well over a decade now. You can blame Twin Galaxies for not doing anything about it. Speedrun.com has literally never allowed his time on their Dragster board.

Really depressed about this. Billy was the arcade elder we all looked up to, a man against the evils of credit feeding, a man who prided himself on not only high 1CC scores, but high ONE MAN scores (e.g. when people would ask Billy: "wow, are you still on your first quarter?" Billy would say, "I'm on my first man."), a man who became something of an arcade ambassador.

Now word is out that his runs had an unusually high number of barrel and flame smashes, which can only be accomplished by restarting the level over and over until the RNG is in your favor. To do this, you would use save states and then stich together footage of your highest scoring sequences to make it look like one continuous play. So Billy fuckin' Mitchell used save states. That's worse than credit feeding!

Billy let the arcade community down, he let his legacy down, and most importantly, he let America down. All these heroes, nothing but feet of clay.

Some people were very aware of Todd Roger's cheating and Billy Mitchell has also been considered a cheater by many since the silent King of Kong tape.
The problem was that Twin Galaxies was completely corrupt and people who brought up these points were bullied out of the community and nothing ever happened to TG's treasured celebrities.
TG has since been sold and the new owner doesn't care to protect them, which is why it makes such waves now.

You could create a game of throwing bits of mud around, and after a while it might get kind of interesting. It doesn't make it a good or worthwhile game.

>How are two people who got world records in front of crowds "fake" because they were in a fakeish documentary?
Controversy right now is whether Billy used a MAME emulator to set his Donkey Kong score. And if he did, that means Billy could have cheated with save states and a doctored film of the footage.

Billy is an amazing gamer who doesn't need to cheat, but it's possible he was so desperate to keep his Donkey Kong high-score that he resulted to such tactics. Akin to Barry Bonds taking steroids--he was already a fantastic ballplayer before hand.

Yes you do. For example, there's no way a bad SM64 runner splice together good movement. The game just doesn't work that way.

TASes are hard to make, and it's even harder to make them look like a human. The game has to be incredibly simple (ie. no visible markers to tell if it's a human player) for that to work out convincingly.

This is an issue in the DK dispute but it hasn't really been touched upon. There are distinct patterns of movement in Billy's footage that are very unnatural and extremely risky to the point where people better at the game are immediately calling bullshit on it, and there are anecdotes recounting whenever he's played in person he has employed a more typical safe style.

It's not enough on its own to prove or disprove anything because it's still technically possible however astronomically unlikely to achieve a high score with ordinary or even terrible mechanics.

It probably still happens but you used get this on YouTube all the time. "X game, new WR, here's a TAS I made that I'm passing off as the real thing and you can't ever prove definitively that it's not the real thing".

Except with the DK thing they kind of are.

Wrong. They have nearly limitless/limitless replay value, and are deep in the sense that there's countless strategies you can employ to post a high score, so gameplay is dynamic (i.e., there's no off-the-shelf "rote" strategy that is always optimal. One player's high score run might look totally different from another player's).

There was a time when it was thought 1 million on Donkey Kong was impossible, yet the game's dynamism allowed for new high score territory to be explored, something Miyamoto and the game designers probably didn't even anticipate.

These style of games (they obviously still make modern games in the "80s Arcade Mold") are also unequaled in the rush and tension you feel when you're on a good run. The only other genre of games comparable in that regard are Shmups.

>It was Corcoran's own daughter. And it went on for a very long time. Corcoran is not the only sex offender who has been a Ref at Twin Galaxies, either. There have been well known competitors who have done significant time for sex offences, too. More than I can list here. Shocking but true.

>1988: Ned Troide, Twin Galaxies competitor featured in the "famous" Time Life Photo, helped abduct, beat and gang rape a 24-year old woman, then tied a weight around her neck and threw her body off a bridge over a bay, thinking she'd die. She lived and put him behind bars.

>2002: Steven Krogman, friend of Corcoran's, served a lengthy sentence in prison for sexually assaulting a minor female beginning when she was 12-years old and possession of child pornography. That didn't bother Twin Galaxies' Walter Day and Billy Mitchell, though. They allowed him to be filmed from prison for his part in 2007's "The King of Kong". They were still giving him public awards at events until a couple years ago. Twin Galaxies finally kicked him off their forum a year ago, but only after significant public backlash.

>2007: Another Twin Galaxies centered documentary, "Chasing Ghosts", found Berzerk champion, Ron Bailey, being arrested in 2007 for several charges of sexual molestation on several grade school age boys who claim he assaulted them when he was their coach. Bailey is serving what constitutes a life sentence in prison. That's how bad this case was.

No, I am not him at all. I know he didn't actually 1cc every arcade game he played. Also, at least a 3rd of the current mods need to be FIRED from their positions for being utter shitass fagtrons. Oh, and come to think of it, e-celeb stuff should be allowed on /v/ and >>>/vg/ so long as the e-celeb of the thread is primarily about video games. And allow Ggate on >>>/vg/ so long as the OP is not overtly calling for anyone to be doxed.

None of this proves he cheated and you even admit bias. A low chance of something happening doesn't make it impossible without save-stating, it just means he got lucky which is guaranteed to happen sooner or later considering how often he plays the game.
Try again.

I just looked at this tweet again. He doesn't even have the best luck in multiple categories and his percentage is less than 3% higher than second place's.

Billy and Todd and others like them probably start doing this shit when they're kids or teens to impress their friends and whatnot. As they age and fail to do anything else of note in their lives, they cling to being the guy with the high score. The longer you keep a lie like this up, the more you feel like you have to maintain it at all costs, because it becomes more and more of an embarrassment if you get outed.

Back in the early press of video game "professionals" they were just some kids who played a lot of video games at arcades and got attention for it because they were the only ones to take it that seriously.

There was an interesting incident though back in this time when Life magazine did a feature on these kids and for their profiles asked them to list their achievements. One of them actually made up a score (over 3 million in Joust or something) not really thinking about it and just to make themselves look impressive and I think this is the mindset behind many of Todd Rogers's scores.

Funnily enough it was Billy Mitchell himself who knew that this guy's Joust score was bullshit and challenged him, the guy of course fell way far off the impossible 3mil but Billy beat his score by a significant margin in front of everyone at the arcade.

Sounds like they had real talent but eventually learned that you can get more fame and money by mixing in some lies. Honestly if everyone else is fucking just making up numbers why wouldn't you? If you didn't no one would pay attention to you, they'd pay attention to some other liar.

That's actually not true. Most of them have a fixed pattern and are thus games to be played by rote. There are more Pacmans than Ms. Pacmans in arcade gaming.

My God bro, your parents had hopes and dreams for you, you know? God, what a terrible little disappointment you must be.

Now, go start a thread about Kirby 64, or how the first Zelda is still the best, and please, try and up your troll game. For all of us babe.
