I actually spoke to the person in question about that and it is legit!
He only removed the post because people were ridiculing him over
if the cropped photo was real or not. However if you look at his world
records you can clearly see he is a capable gamer, who has proved himself
time and time again. He didn't get that score for you guys, he did it for himself
and hoped his friends would cheer him on as well. It's not very nice to poke fun of
someone who is no longer with us to defend himself. How does that make you feel now?
Do you like picking on people who ride the short bus?
How does testing your skills in finding flaws in photos test your bias? All this does is allow cheaters to learn from their mistakes. Put this in the official dispute so that the submitted can be banned for falsifying evidence in an official dispute
Recognition of video game achievement should not be based on a leap of faith. Photos are no longer "good enough" for TG - any submission based on a single photo would rightly be rejected, especially featuring a game where the overwhelming evidence suggests it exceeds the "fastest time possible" for the game. YouTube is awash in countless cute cat videos, but not a single 5.54 without a hacked ROM. Are you really testing our bias, or our patience?
Might it be a Photo from that Nerds Test rig from the video Jace posted before? Part 2 has yet to be seen so we dont know what the nerds findings are right now.
As it is only a picture, and not a video, I have to assume it is fake. Not even a video of the resulting time, much less the run itself. Not even crappy sites like Record Setter accept only photos without being skeptical since they are much more easily manipulated than a video, even when it is just something like a results screen.
Interesting how you phrase this as "test your bias" as it seems to be going in the opposite direction you intend. It isn't revealing a bias against such a time being possible, but revealing a blind bias that such a time is possible without irrefutable proof. Plenty of people would like to see this kind of time be done legit, but there is overwhelming evidence to the contrary, and you are not helping by posting the bare minimum in a format that can be easily cheated. Until you can provide real proof, it is clearly you with the bias, not those asking for actual proof.
I still want to know where this game from. Presenting fake evidence is a bannable offense. Enforce your rules jace and ban the one who gave you this fake evidence
