King of Kong antagonist Billy Mitchell
nice how everyone still makes bill out to be the big bad guy.
The record is the perfect score and since Billy achieved it first his record can never be broken, only equaled. Getting there faster doesn't mean anything.
Time was never an element of game play in Pac-Man and should not be part of a "record".

Hell, I come quicker than anyone but that doesn't make me the best at fucking.
Who cares who does it fastest? Hell, I come quicker than anyone but that doesn't make me the best at fucking.![]()
No... that makes you the worst... just ask the wife.
All joking aside, there is no better than the 3.3 million score, so regardless of who does it faster, it doesn't matter. Especially with a lame ass game that allows for patterns.
Are you sure? Maybe you should send some video to Twin Galaxies.
It matters in the sense that there is specifically a category on Twin Galaxies for:
Pac-Man
Variation: Fastest Completion [Perfect Game]
And Billy Mitchell is dead last.
Other than learning the patterns in Pac-Man, the key to a perfect game is grouping techniques, and that is what adds so much time to a game that could be completed far quicker if a perfect score wasn't part of the goal. Mitchell obviously takes his sweet time when grouping, making certain that he has the ghosts properly grouped before taking the plunge, maybe even double and triple checking. That means what he did was easier, because he allowed himself all the time in the world to lessen the chances of a hasty error.
Chris Ayra and David Race on the other hand, clearly had better grouping techniques and were more certain of themselves; to the tune of besting Mitchell's completion time by nearly two hours. They demonstrated a higher skill level than Mitchell did. Higher skill level = more impressive, no matter how you slice it.

Ok, im not one who likes to see a lot or any swearing in a public forum. BUT THAT IS FUNNY!
far be it from me to defend Billy Mitchell who I think is an ass but, do we know if Billy's fastest time is from the perfect game years ago when he was the first and only one to have done this? If so it's hard to judge his time realistically since according to reports he would leave his man in a safe spot, stop playing and do interviews while he was in the process of getting that score. So the real game play time might be a lot quicker than what was recorded. If his fastest time score was a different game then yes he sucks!
The verification method for Mitchell's score is listed as "video", so I'm guessing it wasn't a public performance (anyone who knows more about it, correct me if I'm wrong).
It was done at Funspot, and he was doing interviews DURING the game from everything I have seen/read/heard.
