Not the link you were looking for but 3 drunkards and the KO6 trophy. I don't even remember this happening.







I'm just honored to have seen Fly win the SF tournament and shake his hand afterwards. He's a good dude.
 
So you missed the drama at the kong off?

You should have been there..

Whoa.... you don't just come in and say something like that..... details, man! Details!

Oh, and Fly is a real Asshat.

Drama? Was that when Mitchell sat down to play DK long after the contest was over, and nobody cared? :D

The current top DK guys know that game chip for chip and down to the last pixel. I believe even though Wes is the only one to really voice his opinion publicly, that the others know Billy cheated.

I would listen to Wes, Robbie, Vincent, etc about what they believe before Apollo, Carlos, Childs or xelnia.

The evidence so far is compelling. And if Billy were a 1m player it should be repeatable. It really should be guys...especially the way big ego Billy talks. Most WR holders can come very close to their scores given a couple days practice. I know this is apples to oranges but the pole position guys can repeat big scores, Rampage is repeatable, Green Beret, The End, 1943, Life Force, DR. Mario....I could go on and on.

I believe Billy is a cheat, ALL his scores for every game should be wiped, life time ban - the end.

Turned it on at the very end and saw that too. Billy playing with a bunch of people around and no one gave a shit. Lookin like an asshole in a 3 piece suit.

Was it hella awkward? I know a few people there called him out when the news dropped.
 
Watch him play for a few minutes and its pretty obvious he could do it...

...the very same could be said about Todd Rogers. If you cheat, you're a cheater. Why doesn't Billy explain WHY he used MAME and turned it in as if it wasn't then... let him explain it?

Oh... wait.
 
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.

Billy Mitchell's highest Donkey Kong score is 933,900 (which is only a marginal improvement over his longstanding 874,300 record from 1982 to 2000), which barely puts him in the top 50 (#47) today. No top DK player thinks it is obvious, or even remotely likely, that a player whose best score is ~934k is good enough to get ~1.063m. This is what Wes Copeland had to say about it (he has the second-highest DK score: 1,218,000):

For the top four players (myself included), if my target were 1m points I would put any amount of money on the line that I could do it at least one in every four serious attempts.

For players capable of 1.1m+ (as Billy claims to be and his tapes allegedly demonstrate), I would suspect being able to hit 1m at least one in every eight attempts. The difference in strategy and skill between 1m and 1.1m pace is so great, it's akin to relearning how to play the entire game. Going back to a "mere" 1m is mind-numbingly easy for any 1.1m+ player. When I was in the low 1.1m's, I once played in a tournament where I got 1m on my first coin drop.

My point: I would seriously question the authenticity of ANY 1.1m+ DK player who had trouble hitting 1m on a few credits in a comfortable playing environment, regardless of how long of a break they've taken from the game. 1m and 1.1m are such a different level of skill, getting a 1m score for a 1.1m player should be like a Sunday stroll in the park.

If Billy Mitchell is "good enough to get the scores he has claimed" then why did he cheat instead of getting the scores?

Yeah!! Tell 'em Steve-Dave!!
 
he's not.

his fans don't know what to do with themselves.

in one breath they vehemently defend him despite him being a proven liar and fraud, and in the other pretend to laugh it off and remark about not taking it seriously.

He's not. He's good. But he's not "THAT" good. He' s a cheater. Period.

If Todd Rodgers is shunned, this guy should be AS SHUNNED if not more so as he's benefited TREMENDOUSLY from his cheating activities... MUCH more so than Todd Rogers.

Mr. Mitchell as a "brand" is tainted and will forever be. I'm disappointed he was even invited to Kong 6 as the guy's mere presence at ANY event affects the authenticity of said event.

Billy Mitchell is a PROVEN cheater... PROVEN... not suspected... PROVEN. Not just once either...

...all the rest is noise.

No dog in the fight.... but Richie claims that the tape used as "proof" was falsified specifically to throw shade on TG.

Very few people know the actual truth of the matter. I am not one of them. I will say that it's possible that the tape was faked, as we all know how the "torch and pitchfork" crowd operate. Will we ever know for sure? Probably not.

One thing IS certain, those who believe Billy will probably never waver in their belief, and those who believe he is a cheat will never waver in their belief. No matter what happens.

I give Billy credit for what he has accomplished.... a perfect Pac-Man score, and a former record holder for Donkey Kong. Did he cheat after that? Who knows. I don't.
 
your loss. he's a valued member of the KLOV community.

I don't place any value on people who act like they're in junior high.

There's video of Billy Mitchell standing by a TV displaying his latest DK tape (at the 2010 IVGHOF event). He even autographed the VCR that was playing the tape:

In the video of that event, when watched frame-by-frame, it can be seen that the gameplay showing on that TV is from MAME (every other Billy Mitchell DK tape out there has been found to be MAME as well). So Richie is claiming that the tape that Mitchell himself publicly presented, and even autographed the VCR that was playing it, "was falsified specifically to throw shade on TG"? How did Dwayne Richard (the guy who allegedly falsified it) manage to trick Billy Mitchell into thinking this falsified tape was actually his own tape? Mitchell can't recognize his own tape and gameplay?

By the way, the Mitchell camp isn't going with that comical conspiracy theory anymore. Their latest Hail Mary is in the form of some obfuscation from a tech named Carlos Pineiro who plans to try to make DK hardware display like MAME.
