IRL there was the documentary "King of Kong" about a school teacher who wanted to be the first person in history to get a score of 1 million in the game donkey kong. He had a bitter rivalry with a man named Billy Mitchell who just happened to be friends with everyone at the official score recording business. The School teacher got the 1 million score and was proud to give it to the official judges who said it "didn't count" because he didn't do it live. So he flew all the way to Florida and did the score again live while the judges were purposely doing everything to fuck with him.
Then right after he got the score live Billy without even walking in mailed in a tape showing he got the score right before him. Unlike the teacher who needed to do it live all the judges instantly believed his sketchy tape. Without saying it directly the documentary implies he cheated.
Regular Show did an episode with a parody of Billy implying he cheated in his scores so Billy sued Cartoon Network but lost the suit. Because of this Regular Show made fun of him by making him a re-occuring villain.
Later people analyzed the tape Billy sent in and proved the tape was fake and he cheated. Billy then sued everyone who claimed he cheated and actually won some of the suits on technicalities (though he still did cheat) and because of this gloats as a victor on twitter dot com because he won some of his suits which he thinks proves he never cheated.

he also tried to sue regular show for defamation only for the case to be thrown out on the grounds that he did not resemble a giant floating head

It's a long story, google Billy Mitchell or check the documentary "The King of Kong".
>>
>>153549324
King of Kong needs to do a follow up. It fucking PISSES ME OFF that Steve Wiebe never got the reward for the first 1 million when we now know for a fact he was the first.
Can't you sue someone for cheating in a competition?
>>
>>153549235
Because everyone knew about Billy

>>153549292
Damn. Fuck that dude lol

>>153549235

Reminder you still haven't proven Billy cheated at all. Cope.

>>153549550
Go to bed Billy

>>153549566

Kill yourself. Like his biggest critic because he couldn't "expose" him even after secretly recording Billy with a hidden camera. Scum.
>>
>>153549251
Still raped.

Karl being an idiot doesn't change the fact that Billy has been proven to have cheated by using an emulator and then lying about it.

Regular show can make both really hot designs and really ugly designs. I love it.

That girl on the right was originally invisioned as HFG's girlfriend but instead she disappeared and they tossed in the dykehaired one.

What a downgrade

>>153549292
I think it's just fucked that a guy tied his entire ego to getting a high score in Donkey Kong, and then spent two decades litigating anyone who said otherwise.

As if either Donkey Kong or scores were important to anyone ever.

>>153549874
It's just about historical context, but everyone has moved on from stuff like that since the 2000's gave people more shit to focus on.

This isn't quite right, but also close enough and I don't feel like correcting it.
Billy is undeniably a cheater, and also got in trouble for submitting scores under the wrong category. The main contention is a DK run which he did on not-original hardware, but submitted under "original hardware." It's like submitting your speedrun under the wrong category.
Billy sued some albino Aussie, not over the cheating allegations, but because he was implicated in some other autists' suicide. Billy won, and hilariously the judge commented along the lines of "Mitchell is probably a cheater but that's not what this is about."
Anyway, I like Billy's heel antics and he's funny. The sauce is good, but overpriced.

It's way more than that. He used it to claim he was the first person to get a million. An emulator is 100% cheating. He cheated.

Billy has skated by on "um akshuly" cred with laymen for a long while because when people say "he cheated to get the high score" what they all mean is "he deliberately misrepresented what format he did his run on" and not that he literally used cheats to get it (he likely did but that's another story). Since Billy has demonstrated the ability to hit 1mil live - many many years later and very inconsistently - he uses that technical phrasing as evidence people are defaming him by claiming he never got the score.
>>
>>153551345
One of Billy's first major lolsuits post his score removal was said Youtuber who only talked about the scandal and had no involvement in it. Billy is absolutely partially to blame for his suicide but since he was never directly accused he again skated by on technicalities. Ironically the Aussie cunt is more to blame for the suicide than Billy was lmao

>Be subscribed to Apollo legend for years
>He is one of my favorite youtubers
>One day see a video in my inbox
>It is literally his suicide note in video form telling all of his subscribers he has just killed himself and goodbye

>>153549292
Everyone calls him based now because he shat on some albino jewtuber
>>
>>153552021
It's probably ironic to some degree but Karl absolutely destroyed his credibility by misrepresenting what the lolsuit was about for YEARS.
