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.

Am I understanding that he entered it into a competition, too?

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.
