Billy Mitchell under fire - UPDATE: Denies all allegations, says info is coming to clear his name

[TheRuthlessOne]

How good is that score relative to other top players? I mean the debate was whether he was better than Steve Weebe or whatever his name was. Wonder if that score puts him in the same league or not

Pretty good

Only like 4 people in the entire world have better scores according to that list

He's not a total scam artist like Todd Rogers he backed it up

Dat hair

He's back in the "headlines". Released a 100 page document disputing the allegations against him. He's proclaiming a conspiracy of someone doctoring his record tape and the score was never officially submitted. Problem is a old MTV interview shows he used MAME and it was officially submitted by him.

That's his hair?

Thought he was wearing a hoodie at first.

So is this guy the Lance Armstrong of arcade gaming?

He's not the only one. A couple of those guys in the original documentary were exposed as cheaters. Todd Rogers is probably the worst offender. He made records up that were literally impossible to accomplish.

It's funny, 'cause in the doc, you had this guy "Mr Awesome" who just seemed like a jealous loon, claiming all these guys were cheats and Twin Galaxies was corrupt, and nobody took him seriously. Years later, motherfucker was entirely correct.

Billy is a fraud.

King of Kong showed that Twin Galaxies as a org was corrupt towards specific submitters. Character traits of these submitters even indicated that they were willing to do anything to retain their scores.

Worst thing you can do is attempt to reason that this was someone painted as a conspiracy theorist.

Not since some guy got banned from crashing hot dog tournaments have I given less of a shit about a whole entire fucking operation.

Wait there was Black Lives Matters.
