Thanks for posting... I had no idea it was going on this week.

they havnt done much to promote it I guess...

Not sure why Billy Mitchell would be competing unless the actual worlds best players didnt show up this go around, he hasnt been in the mix in a decade.
 
Don't feel bad... I didn't realize it was this weekend either. A friend of mine on Steam hit me up about it and gave me the links to the streams. Otherwise, I'd have probably posted about this earlier.

I can only guess that Billy is actually participating this year due to all the negative press he's been getting lately.

I have no dog in that fight, so it doesn't matter to me how that all plays out. However, I will say that I've been looking to see his actual gameplay for some time now, so this IS a bit of a treat for me.

Like him or not, he HAS done a lot to bring attention to our hobby, and classic gaming in general. I, for one, won't be upset in the least if he breaks 1 Million, or at the very least, puts up a good score and hits the kill screen. In fact, I'd actually like to see that.

I tuned out about an hour ago, and last I heard 2 people had Kill Screen'd it so far. I don't care how you feel about these guys, but that IS an impressive accomplishment.
 
Ive seen Billy play in person.. its laughable that people think he cant play and just cheats.

He can play.. he just doesnt play often enough to hang in there with the top guys anymore since you have to point press like crazy now.

Takes a fair amount of luck also.. they will bomb out 10 games before getting on a good run.

Be funny if he pulled off a win tho.
 
i heard all the top MAME enthusiasts will be there.

Nobody ever said he isn't a good player. Of course he is.

He also has never broken 1 mil live or on video. His 1 million+ that was seen in King of Kong is a MAME generated fraud. He used save states within MAME to maximize his points per board in order to achieve a score that beat Steve Wiebe. Pathetic. Even more pathetic when you remember Steve Wiebe had his score questioned at Billy's request because he might not have been using the correct PCB. "Laughable" indeed.

Here is the smoking gun. During the loading of the girder levels, that little "finger" sticking out isn't produced by any real Donkey Kong PCB. Guess what does produce it - MAME. No way around it.

He could have owned up to it and apologized for deceiving people and been forgiven. Instead he decided to deny it and put forth a series of sycophants to defend him. When all the chips fall, one of them will either take the blame willingly and say they messed with the tapes without Billy knowing or he'll blame one of them - either way it's a lie. Mark my words.

Yah I know the whole story.. cant see why anyone cares.

The main inference is that he never could have gotten a record without "cheating" in MAME which is just wrong.

Watch him play for a few minutes and its pretty obvious he could do it.. hes not Robbie Lakeman crazy good with the high risk play but hes good enough to get the scores he has claimed.

I'm so glad we have a person like you around who apparently has the super power of knowing everything. Thank you for your hard work good sir.
 
By "super power" do you mean common sense or do you mean reading through 190 pages of evidence gathering?

Sorry, slim, "finger" girder doesn't render in anything besides MAME. Your boy missed that on his cheat tape and never suspected a frame by frame analysis would expose him. Just like Todd Rogers(who coincidentally was the "referee" who certified Mitchell's high score. LOL!) Whoopsie!

Main inference is nothing of the sort.

You're seriously arguing that "he could do it" as the basis to not remove his scores? Haha. You're better than that.

2018 and still has never broken a million live or in person, that's 8 years after his fake 1+ mil point tape. I'm not even saying he couldn't but he sure as hell hasn't. At this point his character is clear - he's a cheat who used his deception to prevent other people from their time in the spotlight. Disgusting.

Oh, by the way - I believe Wes Copeland, the #2 world record holder on DK is offering a $10,000 cash reward out of his own pocket to anyone who can show that finger girder produced by an unmolested Donkey Kong PCB.

You should get to work claiming it and show how wrong everyone is.
 
Your super powers are truly amazing. I'll come to you from now on when I need to know the truth about anything. :)

There have been hundreds if not thousands of murder/rape trials where someone was accused. Evidence was shown that convinced 12 people "beyond a shadow of a doubt" that the person was guilty. The person was convicted and incarcerated. 30 years later DNA evidence proved they were innocent.

There are very few absolutes in this world is all I'm saying.

I'm more or less saying.. who gives a shit?

remove his scores if it makes you feel better.

either way he has still done more for the hobby then the however many people making a huge deal out of nothing combined.

I'm convinced OJ was innocent! :D
 
Kong Off 6?... LAAAAME.

Where's the SINISTAR competition!?


"Where can I point-press? What do you mean I can't?!? How do I get easy points!?"

"RRRAAAAWWRRRR!!!"

"Nooooo!" *SMASSSSSSHHHH* ... "I am Sinistar!"

Comparing capital crimes to Billy Mitchell and Donkey Kong scores is quite a stretch.

A better analogy would be to compare baseball players and performance enhancing drugs. Sure some of them will never be definitely proven to have used them, but we all know they were juicing.

Just like we all know Billy and Co. are a bunch of cheaters.

Has there ever been multiple murder or rapes caught on tape where the accused was found innocent? Nope. Billy has multiple tapes out there. All of the mil+ are mame.
