Most of his scores were legit. The fact that he probably used MAME for the last few years doesn't really delegitimize his scores from before his "I'LL JUST SEND IN THE VIDEO INSTEAD OF DOING IN LIVE BUT TRUST ME GUYS IT'S LEGIT" era of "high scores", which was only the last few years.

And on top of that, no one has really provided evidence that he used save states, just that he played the games in MAME. I realize that the "official" rules don't allow emulators, but still. As far as anyone can prove, his scores were still basically done authentically without tool assistance.

Uh yes, they did. Jace Hall specifically proved several parts of BM's tape that had obvious save state abuse. The "1-UP" thing flashed for 26 frames instead of only 12 frames or something like that, which is an indication of save states being used because they would absolutely introduce extra frames in MAMEplay after a while. While he does not use those words, the evidence is there.

Dude, not only did Billy Mitchell lie, he's not even good enough to play well anymore regardless of its platform.

Someone wanted an apology for Steve Wiebe, well here's what I was going to say in that now pruned thread:

There was never any doubt that Billy's tape in King of Kong was fake. The distortion was the first sign of tampered gameplay.

The real problem and what was not addressed in The King of Kong was that Wiebe played on a Donkey Kong/Donkey Kong Jr. board albeit original, which disqualified him. The "gummy substance" remark by Mruzcek was taken out of context and was not pertaining to Steve's board. Steve Wiebe has always played legitimately, but he was forced to adhere to NEW rules set forth during filming. I met him once and he was a super cool guy who doesn't seem to take it as seriously as one might think.
When I asked him if The King of Kong was essentially a hoax in some ways, he just slyly laughed, but in the obvious way that he knows what he's giving away without actually saying it.

Billy intentionally misled TG invigilators, and has publicly denied during the dispute review process that he has ever used an emulator for his DK scores. Did he actually cheat? As you state, it's unproven but he did mislead TG and lied about the origin of his scores so for that they have to be invalidated. He won't admit that they are emulated so they can't be used for the emulated leaderboards and it's been proven that they weren't achieved on a real DK board so they can't be valid on the official arcade leaderboard either.

The simple fact that he is a liar and completely untrustworthy is enough to warrant his banning from future competition on TG imo.

This is cool because it's like a continuation of King of Kong, going on through news in social media and forums.
Billy was always portrayed as the villain and now he's getting punished.
Honestly, I find it very weird that he doesn't own a DK cab. Maybe he used MAME to cheat, but I wouldn't know.
He still has the "Player of the century" title given by Namco after doing the perfect Pac-Man game, and he did that live.
Wouldn't it be hilarious if all this is just an act and they're still playing it after all these years? Like, what if this is all scripted and Billy accepted to do this part? Maybe they already have written a redimed act where Billy is accepted back after proving something or whatever.

It could be, but if that's the case there are things about Donkey Kong hardware that are unknown to most people outside of Billy Mitchell, but that's unlikely. And the confirmed tapes with the million-plus performances are confirmed indeed to be MAME. Twin Galaxies says as much in their statement and then goes on to contradict said statement becausee Jace Hall is a retard, though can be a fair retard it would seem.

In 2007 at some other even he got 1 mil 50 thousand 200 points. And then just died. But nobody saw him playing as he was doing it in another room.

Then in 2010 he went to an arcade and beat the then world record by 1100 points and let himself die again.

He's the chuck Norris of video games - very skilled but his superpower-persona is fictional.

I really enjoyed the movie and without his character it would have been only half as interesting. People getting worked up shows that he's hit a nerve.

As for the score - who cares. DonkeyZong was cool in the 80ies and the magic has vanished. It would have been awesome to watch these battles back then in the arcades when they were an important thing of electronic entertainment.

I'm surmising that he has a higher score that hasn't been made public, and every time he released a score it was not his best, but just good enough. It would explain his past behavior.

What a terrible comparison. Poker has a high psychological factor: reading your opponents' expressions and knowing when to bluff or fold. Professional poker is highly deterministic in this sense.

It might have made more sense to use something like backgammon in your comparison. There are strategies for screwing over your opponent in backgammon, but anyone of any skill level can end up with much better rolls than their opponent. This is why computerized backgammon blatantly cheats in the AI's favor. There's just no way to make the AI more 'skillful' when it could easily get crappy rolls and be doomed to failure.

Randomness does not exist. The physical laws of this universe do not permit such a phenomenon. At best, there can be a deterministic system so contrived as to appear random due to the internal processes of the system not being known to its observers, but the outcomes produced by that system are by no means random.

More simply: If video games could produce random phenomena, TASing would not be possible.

Todd Rogers getting stripped of all records is a lot more interesting, imo. His scores were fucking ludicrous, like 65,000,000 in a game where second place is 59,000, or 1600+ in a game which auto-kills you at 1300, yet Twin Galaxies defended him for decades.

Shit like that pisses me off because it completely deters legitimate play. We can't know how many potential champions never got started because these assholes were squatting the top of the leaderboards.
What finally got him was his big Guinness record for longest-held top score turned out to be not only unachievable with tool-assistance, but literally impossible via code analysis. And since he was one of the referees who accepted Billy Mitchell's scores, it seems like he was the first domino in Twin Galaxies finally cleaning up their act.

With King of Kong coming up so much, why is nobody mentioning the fact that Billy Mitchell didn't even OSTENSIBLY have the world championship at the time King of Kong was filmed? His score had already been beaten by Tim Sczerby, but Tim doesn't have the supervillain aura of Mitchell or the "aw shucks" sweet guy personality of Wiebe, so he got cut from the film entirely and they filled in the gaps with straight up lies.

They said Mitchell was the champion at the time. He was not. They literally changed the Twin Galaxies score page that appeared in the documentary to put Mitchell at the top as of the recording of the documentary. But he wasn't and had been for years. Then they edited the existence of Sczerby out of the documentary.

Additionally, there is no evidence whatsoever that anyone ever broke into Wiebe's garage.

So among actual players who have competed with Mitchell and such, there seem to be three camps:

>Billy did nothing wrong
>Fuck Billy Mitchell
>He definitely shouldn't have done that, but he's my friend and he remains my friend

Given his past behavior and his weird obsession with perfection and being the best, I wonder if this will drive him off the deep end and he'll push away that third group, or if seeing that there are people who care about him despite his obviously being a very flawed human being will be good for him as a person in the long run.

Yes, it's a great substitute; I've been doing that for like ten years. What I meant by gaining more familiarity is that when you have to configure the stick 8-way or 4-way( among other things) it will prepare you somewhat for what to expect when you eventually get a real cabinet. Besides, going through MAME you'll discover and rediscover all the games that work really well with a stick while some others may be acceptable on a keyboard or standard controller; etc, is what I meant. It'll accelerate the learning experience as well as expose you to many more games.

So even if you don't get near a cabinet, I assure you that there's some primo sticks out there that feel and look real, usually because they're made out of real spare arcade parts on the better vendors.

I think shit probably just got out of hand. Creating and supporting "legends" is something you could entirely lose perspective on, and with guys like Rogers and Corcoran and pals inputting ludicrous impossible scores and then threatening people to keep quiet before getting arrested for boning kids, even Billy Mitchell might seem kinda smalltime. Plus he was a financial partner, and probably friend, so there's even more reason to overlook things or refuse to engage with criticism.
Once Guinness got involved there would have been a lot of pressure not to lose credibility too, or that business relationship could have died, and it's an arcade meaning it was probably in and out of financial crisis this whole time.

It's hard to really say "corrupt" because it's not like there were piles of coke and hookers in it for anybody, right? But it's certainly corruption in the technical sense and not only ruined their credibility in the long run, but robbed a lot of players of the opportunity to demonstrate *legitimate* skill.

Has anybody here actually considered how surreal this whole thing is?

Billy Mitchell sets a couple world records and in the process becomes close friends with the person who runs the organization that manages the records. Then other people start to surpass him. He starts cheating and lying to try to maintain his position, all while building up this image of himself as The Ultimate Gamer. He uses his image to sell hot sauce and by so doing becomes quite rich, then uses the money to buy a big share in the very authority that decides whether his scores are legitimate.

From there, he uses a combination of his friendship with and his financial leverage over his old friend Mr. Day to ensure that nobody within the organization looks too closely at his record videos, and if anybody does, or even criticizes him, he threatens to "make things bad" for Twin Galaxies.

Meanwhile he repeatedly basically implies that being better at certain video games indicates you're a higher class of human being, wears American flag ties for the honor of the USA or something, and generally does all the things you don't want to do if there's a chance you're going to be exposed as a fraud.

Then it happens and he responds by insisting he has some big reveal that will actually show everyone how he's innocent.

He's like a supervillain.

So in Nibbler's case making the CPU run faster made it easier for him? I've never played the game (it looks extremely boring, I hate those games) so I wonder what that did to the timing of whatever. In any case, I realize that playing on a modified PCB is verboten.

I posted this before, but here's my theory:

Bear with me on this. What if Billy's score was acheived on MAME, but he wasn't aware of it at the time. Look Billy's not the most technically savvy guy. He can play the video game, but think back to 2008. Do you remember how hard it was to get MAME set up, get all the roms, and give the right names, etc? And you really think Billy could have done all that?

Also Billy doesn't own a Donkey Kong machine. So here's what I'm thinking went down. Billy wants to play DK, but he doesn't own a machine so he asks a friend if he can play on their machine. The friend has a custom mame cab, inside an original DK shell. He doesn't tell Billy it's a mame cab, because he's not aware that Billy is trying to set a world record.

So Billy comes over, plays the game and records the VHS tape, without being aware it's a MAME cab. He thinks it's just a regular DK cab.

In an interview he states that he has never played on MAME. That is he was never AWARE he had played on MAME!

This would really explain everything. No wonder Billy is upset, from his perspective he played a game of DK on a real cab and now everyone is saying he cheated.

If this is what happened, then surely the rest of his scores should be restored. Move his score to the MAME category that's fine, give Wiebe the credit for the first 1M+ game on real hardware. But don't punish Billy for honest mistake.

What about the accusations from referees and former referees that he had threatened to "make things bad" for Twin Galaxies if people criticized him or questioned his scores, the fact that there's not just evidence of using MAME but evidence of save state abuse, the fact that there's a video of him and his friend pretending to switch a DK board out for a DK Junior one but it's the same DK Junior board being pulled out and put back in (and he claimed to have just set the DK score so we know he was lying), and the fact that nobody has ever actually seen him break a million besides someone who himself had been banned for cheating?

There are plenty of cheaters, but there are also plenty of dudes who literally grind 12 hours a day for MONTHS, all on stream, improving their skills and looking for the perfect run.

It's kind of insane, but they get addicted. From what I understand the lows are low and the highs are pretty high. Like, after spending dozens of multi-hour long runs trying to achieve some RNG-dependent trick, and then finally nail it, the explosion of tension must be huge--you're then either going to get a world record and be a community hero for fifteen minutes, or you're going to fuck up and die to a goomba in the next room and go to sleep crying.

I mean yeah, there are a few, and there'll no doubt be more who haven't been discovered yet, but it's overstating it to generalise things like it's "most" speedrunners.

Nobody starts off as a record-holder so there's no reason to get into the hobby outside of the personal challenge.
And of course you get a higher proportion of cheaters near the top--being at the top is the whole point of cheating!

Apparently Mitchell had a conversation with someone named Keemstar, who claims Mitchell actually has a surprisingly strong defense, which will be revealed in an interview a week from now.

Also evidently this Keemstar guy is trying to talk him into starting a Twitch account after he "proves his innocence."

He only turned in a VHS cassette.

Supposedly the cassette was recorded by direct feed from a capture card connected to the arcade board.
However others have attempted to replicate his setup using the same capture hardware and it's apparently very hard--maybe impossible?--because the hardware apparently has colour timing issues when used with DK.
(Which is something people discovered years ago, not directly connected to the cheating investigation.)

Apparently Billy signed his life rights over for King of Kong for a very low price when producers manipulated him by telling him they couldn't afford that and another person who was going to be in the movie really needed the money.

He seems very charismatic (especially in person). He works some kind of magic on people who meet him face to face, and he's pulling out all the stops to change people's minds about him. He's using some basic marketing psychology techniques but he's also doing some 3d chess with twitter and twitch right now. Reaching out to young gamers while pretending to be out-of-touch on technology. I think he's going to reclaim the spotlight soon and try to judo-wrestle the fuck out of these accusations.

>>4750469
Lance Armstrong is kind of a special case since practically everyone in that sport was cheating too. It wasn't just him that got busted, it was like the top THIRTY FIVE ranks who all went down along with him.
It's arguable whether it's really cheating or just playing the de-facto game at that point. It's not like Armstrong just made up a score or used MAME save states: he legitimately put in just as much work as everyone else at his level. He basically had a choice between doing what everyone else was doing or not competing at all, short of single-handedly inventing a detection method years before anyone else did. Considering he had everything else it took to become number one you can't really blame him for not sitting it out.

Meanwhile unless you think Steve Wiebe was juicing I'm not sure it's a comparable scenario.

Yeah it's some shill-implemented shit. The timing was really telling. Right around the same time we got mass-invaded by coordinated political contractors (iirc like a month or two before the election when they decided Trump supporters were literal nazis and every /pol/ on every imageboard must be flooded with aboriginal skull memes to make them look bad) faggots started using this term on every board all at once.

It's clearly meant to be some tribalistic power-word.
Meanwhile anyone who's been here for a long time remembers when we used to mock that kind of "secret clubhouse" thinking. Reddit is a shithole, but so is 4chan and everyone else, and lately it's mostly due to those very fucking shills trying to poison everything.
