    “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.

      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
