Loopie, Xein, and me have both confirmed that this run is fake. So, what should we do about it? I'm thinking NO run from Youtubeman should be submitted without a movie file from now on (and split files for categories with splits, although those are quite easily faked too!) If we should do something more extreme, like remove all his runs or completely ban him from the leaderboards, let us know in a reply.
How about an input display or a controller cam like i did in my 31.87 i got a few minutes ago.
31.87? Woah, keep it up! You're literally 2 or 3 frames off the TAS at this point! This category is becoming REALLY optimized LUL
I've been talking with him on Twitch, and he seems to be denying all claims thrown against him. If he's gonna deny all accusations of cheating with obvious evidence presented (youtubeman, please stop turning into billy mitchell), should we ban him from the leaderboards?
Youtubeman, adding another comparison isn't gonna help. In fact, it could help us even more by giving us an actual human's run to compare to. Denying every accusation with obvious evidence presented to you is NOT how you get forgiveness. You apologize for cheating, and then we'll make sure to check all runs thoroughly before letting them on the leaderboards. Now, during verification of your runs, we will be extra strict. We will require movie files (and split files for categories with splits), and if we find any inconsistency between any of the sources, we will immediately decline the run.
Also, Loopie, after banning him, do we remove all his runs from the leaderboard? I don't understand why he would fake a run for such a small community when he could risk his entire reputation doing it, then deny all claims of faking runs after presented with clear evidence.
He's said he sometimes uses "FFsplit" to record runs, and that has audio delay problems. He literally SHOWED OBS on his proof stream tho, so I call BULLSHIT there.
I was using ffsplit to stream because it uses less lag than OBS. a person like me wouldnt say they're cheating even though they're not cheating. im being FORCED to say that im cheating.
Also, list all things wrong with the run. He's still begging for mercy and saying he wants proof before being banned. LUL
loopie before im banned, give me evidence showing im cheating, or that i sped up my runs.
You had your chance, your run is fake but you still were argueing against it. That's not the way you get forgiveness.
Locked, all of Youtubeman's runs removed. You could've just ruined your ENTIRE speedrunning career over a ROM hack for SMB1 that isn't even ran that much and doesn't have too much competition. Good job.
