If you have any suspicions about a cheated run, contact the game moderators about it first. We in the general forums can't help, as we don't have knowledge about the game.

Also, have you tried asking the runner or one of the moderators about the run, before throwing accusations? I see you don't have any runs in Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts, so I don't know what is your knowledge of the game. Maybe something looks wrong to you but it has a good explanation.

@Oreo321 sure, all community tried speak with him, he ignored everyone :)

It seems you have gotten a response from the game's supermod already.

[quote]I've taken a closer look at the video. We have some good evidence that's it not cheated from the video alone. This evidence is an input display, as well as audio (button sounds) matching the button presses in the input display.

And according to his Livesplit in this recording, he has finished 1 run, but made 331 attempts at finishing.

The strategies used in the video are smart strategies from what I could tell.

For example, the dodge of the bosses claws in Stage 5, that can be predicted with some knowledge of the timing of that attack. He almost got hit, for sure.

I do have a concern: That is that during the overworld screen, I don't see an input on the input display to advance the screen. And I don't believe holding right will work there.

Another thing I was not familiar with was the invincibility setup in the beginning of Stage 3. That can be very tricky but I don't know how consistent that particular setup is.

These 2 concerns right now, don't warrant an removal of the run. I am curious about the overworld screen though, that is strange that I don't hear or see a button to advance that screen.

Please discuss or point out anything else you find questionable of the run. Thank you for your concern.[/quote]

As I said, no one in the general forums can help you. The issues need to be presented to the game moderators and the game community, and they can decide best if a run is cheated or not. If the moderators decide to ban someone for cheating, then they can personally contact site staff to report the cheater. Not you as someone who don't even have a run in the game.

@SioN Looks like they meant uploading to the site instead of downloading. Different direction.
