"More and more people were uploading evidence that I faked it, so I finally confessed. But only after people wasted countless hours of their lives trying to beat it. I was gunna tell everyone I swearsies, but only after I got attention. It happened so quickly, only 2 weeks after 6 years that I could have said something. I'm so nice, I could have uploaded another one I faked, but I didn't!"
I don't understand why this guy is getting a pass by so many people. "I will not deny team 0% their victory" what kind of egotistic statement is that? Am I understanding that he entered it into a competition, too?
I do get that more energy should be spent celebrating Team 0%, but the fake level guy is mentioned in all those same articles as "congratulating team 0%" as if his thumbs up means fuck all. Hacking is fun and funny, but absolutely not if it is to the detriment of other users.
Yea he sounds like a tool.
It's not egotistic. The uploader is saying that it would've been their fault that 0% "failed" if they didn't come clean, and they didn't want that.
Not really sure why this person is getting so much grief, tbh. They uploaded a crazy hard level for fun, long before the attempt to complete every level. It was never their intention to sabotage that.
Not "crazy hard". Cheated. I don't know what kind of grief he's getting, but he deserves it. If he didn't want to sabotage their task, he should have admitted it right away when he uploaded it. Or 2 weeks ago when his level became the last level. Or a month ago when everyone learned about the task. Before people wasted hours of their life trying to beat a hacked level.
"I won't deny them the victory" is a control statement. What he has done has allowed them to win. Delivery has connotation, and his whole message is one of explaining away what he did.
Admit it to whom? The 10-15 people that made up 0% way before Nintendo ceased allowing uploads, back when Team 0% was another meme team?
You have strong negative opinions for someone who doesn't seem to have any grasp on this community or the timeline in which this took place. No one told Ahoyo that their level was the last until they asked them if it was TASed. Ahoyo isn't streaming nowadays, and isn't spending their days going to streamers who played a game he played to see if one of the millions of levels was theirs.
Nobody told me, either. I just sort by Top-All. It was the top story on any gaming site for weeks. My son was also excited about this too, even he'd heard about it. It's a cool story.
Yes, I took offense on the part of the people who I saw reacting very frustrated after they'd tried the level for hours without TAS. And it upset me his response wasn't more apologetic. Team 0% having to include a statement not to attack him and keep the peace seems like I'm probably not the only one.
In all, though, that was my interpretation. I've never talked with anyone in 0% or Ahoyo. Maybe in Ahoyo talk, that's a good apology.
I think the kids call this SDE
Yeah!
Wait, him or me?
Him lol
Ahoyo "confessed" as soon as people contacted them and asked. They were also a very well known member of the community, it's not like 0% was discovering TTH, especially after we all saw bombs5.
Besides, since when do we not allow TASes in the Mario community? It is "faked" at a stretch of the word "faked". There are plenty of faked SMM levels where the creator cheated the cleared for upload flag. TTH is completable.
I feel like you aren't even half assing reading that paragraph and trying to take it in the most negative light.
Ahoyo hosted a contest where people showed off levels, and TTH was disqualified by themselves.
But there was a level entry form. So he entered it, but then disqualified it? Or someone else entered it on his behalf?
This is why I asked, I wasn't sure what exactly happened. I read multiple other articles (I didn't come up with using 'faked' to describe it). There's a difference using TAS vs using TAS but letting everyone believe that you didn't for 6 years.
THH was gaming news for two weeks before he came clean. If he hadn't heard the news, he still should be way more apologetic to all the people who wasted their time
Ahoyo hosted, and lots of creators were invited to submit. When Ahoyo discovered TASing tools for WiiU, TTH was his way of showing it off. With a tendon issue, they couldn't make and play a hard kaizo level anymore. So, yes, Ahoyo entered TTH themselves, then made sure it was disqualified. The point was for people to see the playthrough and accuse it of being a TAS, which would be the reveal, as per Ahoyo's message. The viewing of the levels with the judges was live streamed, so the audience was supposed to see the levels and call it out, too.
Then no one noticed, and the TAS tools seemed to have died out. <strikethrough is broken for me for some reason, just assume some nonsense here>
Edit: My bad, I heard talk of TASBot trying to get their jank tools to work for WiiU, I didn't realize this but someone has already cleared TTH with TAS. Just those streamers going for last 7 days of RTA clear attempts.
