How does that refute my statement?LOL the donkey kong record was clearly 2 stitched together videos.
and it was on MAME.

And if you're going by Twin Galaxies on anything Mitchell related, well, that is the dictionary definition of fake news.
Good decision. One possible fake record doesn't invalidate all the rest. People make up their minds based on his likeability, not his performance.on him getting to keep his scores
That is how he got his Guinness record
He stitched together videos and used MAME.
So no he shouldn't get to keep his record.

It's as if you can't read.
There are multiple records of which he was stripped, that he made before MAME even existed. Those should never have been taken away and those are the ones that were rightfully reinstated.Because that video is what the record is for.

There are 3 and they are all covered in that video.There are multiple records of which he was stripped, that he made before MAME even existed. Those should never have been taken away and those are the ones that were rightfully reinstated.
The newer Kong ones are suspect (some more than others), but seeing as he proved in live settings that he could do them and that there is insufficient evidence at least for the 1.06 one that it wasn't legit, and that the only disputed thing is that they were done on MAME, not that they couldn't be done on the arcade, they are not a hill I'm willing to die on either way.
Dinklage's character in Pixels is based on Billy Mitchell, so I can see how you would get confusedFor some reason i thought this was the same guy....

There are many foggy areas in all of this, except that exact point.I have no doubt that he has skills at these games, but man if the guy doesn't come off as one of the biggest douche nozzles in history.
Mitchell pwns. Gamer of the Century
Well except for that the King of Kong came out thirteen years ago, so...You never know who's really telling the truth when each side believes they were right.
Why didn't Billy Mitchell .... er .... "erek" just post this here himself?

I've watched a few of his twitch live streams and talked to a few people who have met him and concluded that he does this bad guy act intentionally in order to attract attention to keep his career going. Like the adage "any attention is good attention". We can all hate on him 10000 times over but it's what puts money in the mans pockets and it's what he expects ... There are edgy people out there who want the bad guy to win.
It's amazing that he goes as far as frivolous lawsuits and having his live stream bots call his fans "loosers", but that's his angle.
either that or he's incredibly stupid and managed to become fairly wealthy off of being dumb... LOL

Ahh smashingtaco tripped over 999 again.
You won't explode or something if you cross the threshold, hopefully.No other choice, mate.
I haven't seen this documentary but it sounds almost like a mockumentary. Is he really that much of a douche? I've seen that he is incredibly quirky, cocky and takes his Donkey Kong seriously. I've seen him make some appearances and he didn't seem all that bad - he was just adamant about not having cheated.Acting like a douche to get attention doesn't make you any less of a douche.
