Doesn't matter what he does. He is a proven cheater. The fact he is showing he could have possibly done it legit is just an extra layer of shitty.

He was the likable villain. Now he is just a fraud who is good at Donkey Kong, and there is nothing he can do to scrub the former away with the latter.

^exactly this

What is his endgame exactly? It was proven that he did not play those games in 2004 on original hardware. Marked a fraud and banned from Twin Galaxies scoreboard. I doubt Donkey Kong Forum will accept his scores.
Showing to the world that he can in fact score 1+ million points on Donkey Kong proves nothing more than he should have sacked up and done it correctly in the first place.

Doing a million points now when 20 others have done it before you, and you can analysis their tactics and strategies, means it's a lot easier to get the million now than it was 10 years ago

He couldn't do it 10 years ago, and so had to cheat. Now he's been able to analyse other players and use his already great skills to ape (pun intended) those strats to get the million points

It's still impressive, but he always had impressive skills. Getting a million points a few times in 2018 doesn't undo the fact he cheated another player out of having the title 'first to a million' for the best part of a decade

His endgame is to continue promoting himself as the pioneer because nobody really cares what he's been doing for the last 15 years. People like him live for the spotlight and his hot sauce is likely not going to do it for him.

Giant Bomb summarized my feelings well enough. If he is doing this for himself then, whatever, go with god. But as far as acceptance at large? Nuh uh.

Does he still not get the fact that no one doubts his ability?

Its just that he cheated in the first place and he continues to be a pompous lying ass about it

Everyone knows he can get the scores. People aren't upset about that. It's because he cheated the rules. Pretty obvious, Billy.

He's a piece of shit, not even because of the cheating stuff, but because of what he and his goons did to Steve Weebe. It's closer to Ryan Braun, who when caught cheating tried to ruin the life and career of the guy who happened to take his piss sample, than it is to Barry Bonds. He's a piece of shit who happens to be good at Donkey Kong. And Instead of owning up he wants to play the victim. Fuck him.

That's hilarious that the Kong story is still going. What a character. What a mullet. Anyone who hasn't seen King of Kong yet, get on that!

Shout out to Doris Self, the elderly Q*Bert player, RIP.

Like others said, no one doubts he can get these scores legitly, it's the fact that he even cheated in the first place.

It doesn't help that he's an asshole according to everyone that meets him.

Everyone knows he's amazing at DK... Which made his cheating all the more stupid. Dumbass continues to not get it.

I'm still saying a sequel to the King of Kong sequel that gets Steve and Mitchell back would be hilariously amazing. Include the other Donkey Kong champions that came after that film and do a Donkey Kong battle royale.

Silly dude who takes himself way too seriously. If he never cheated he'd just be a weird great arcade player who makes hot sauce. Instead he's a cheating weird great arcade player who makes hot sauce (and really loves American flag ties).

I want to see him top the current WR just so scientists could study the maximum limit of an ego.

He's a PERSONA, played his cards right. I can't name another single record player. Dude is amazing as he can still back up his scores.

His new scores aren't that great in 2018.
2006 scores are only valid if achieved in 2006 and without cheating.

He hasn't "backed up" the ability to play at world record level in over 15 years.
