      There is a story in metal world where a band used programmed drums to have very fast double bass beats. George Kolias of the band Nile decided that he wanted to incorporate those beats in their music and learned to play faster than the programmed drums of the other band only to discover it was not real human playing.

      I gotta wonder, would people ever accept a run by skycrafter again? Like, if they were to put in the effort to actually get a legit run, would it be accepted? I know it'd probably have to be proven legit first, but if it passed every "test" so to speak, would it be possible for someone who previously cheated to get a legit run on the leaderboards?
      Edit: and, as an extension of this question... If someone cheated for the purposes of practice, theory, etc, but didn't submit those cheated runs, but rather used them as guidelines for a legit run, would that be acceptable? Like, learning the lines in slow mo, then gradually speeding up the game to realtime for the purposes of learning and adapting lines, and finally turning off all the cheats for hunting the actual record and getting a legit run. Would that be acceptable?

      The latter would be perfectly acceptable, this is basically what TAS is about. Use tools for knowledge, and then trying to replicate humanly. Altho I don't think learning a track in slowmo could help you. The most useful way of using cheats to learn in tmnf is probably to speed up runs with predefined inputs until a specific point in the map where you take back control to train a particular part of the track. Kind of like a custom checkpoint where you don't lose speed when you respawn (kinda like tm2020)

      I’ve seen many new world records set only because somebody made “potentially humanly viable TAS” videos that inspired people to try.

    It really feels they should put in a few more hours to foolproof their work. He could have spent a lot of time TASing a lot of near misses and a mix of good and bad attempts. If you say you have 125 hours of tries, create 125 hours of tries, all on TAS if your skill is not enough. Then play them all back to back and save all replays. You would have a mix of attempts and only have CE attached to trackmania which you can explain away.

      ​@Zach There is just no absolute way to prove the legitimacy of any run. Even not having any kind of Cheat Engine running does not prove anything, see what pro esports players have done in the past with extracting memory straight from their hardware. It's all about making it believable, that's why riolu got away with it for such a long time. He was (almost) that good and was proving it live regularly. If he had been smoothing out his inputs to a humanly possible level, no one would have ever doubt his records.

    I think its important to remember that there is nothing wrong with not having the passion and dedication to spend 200+ hours grinding a single track, let alone a 30 second track. Like... to most people that would be mind numbing. I can't imagine what it would be like. Some people really just need to understand that even if they think they want it more than everyone else, the people who want it the most are willing to put in those 200, 300, 500+ hours into a single track. And its a disgrace to those dedicated individuals to try and fake that.

    Only thing you are NOT allowed to do is to do actual non-cheated run yourself.
    TAS, Splishing, Slowmotion all are allowed. You lose if people find out how you cheated.
    Ofc people should start by copying the old world record and boasting it as their best time.
    The whole point of this joke is to improve our tools to detect cheating. We don't know if someone is currently cheating in a way we could findout if only there were tools for it ;) How quickly it would be seen if I took 3 top player's world record inputs and edited them together so it seemed seamless? I mean if you are just holding W I can swap between any player and continue other's inputs and by adjusting how long/short I make the one button press I can adjust the driving lines and so on :D Having people come up ways to cheat and have community know the run is cheated and then to try find out how would be interesting idea for helping to improve the tools to see cheaters.

    What I learned on my 250 hour journey in TM, is that you improve very quickly just by playing more. I struggled sometimes to even qualify for COTD to hitting 1844 as my best placing at around 100 hours of play. After that point I didn't improve much because people were driving much better, better lines, knowing to how to deal properly with all the surfaces, knowing how to break, slide etc etc.
    After 250 hours I haven't been getting any better placings. My runs do look better, I've learned some small things here and there.
    My point is that at a certain point in TM you need many 100s if not 1000s of hours to get a little bit better.
    For me TM is one of the hardest games i've ever played because even if I get super good I'm still going to be 1000s of hours practice behind the REALLY good players.
    Good example of this is COTD Div 1, you can make 1 bad turn and lose, I would call that very unforgiven and having a high skill requirement.
    So being a player that grinds and are able to take world records in TM, it's going to take 1000s of hours of experience to do so and you will get pretty fucking good at the game. So watching a guy that has almost the same lines as a beginner scrub like me, suddenly take a WR from a guy that has 1000s of hours in the same game and was a name I knew about long before I even started to watch TM, is already beyond sus.

      @medea27 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Part of the reason you don't see much about disproven cheating allegations is that you don't want to damage someone's reputation if they've been proven innocent. Unfortunately if you put someone's name on the internet associated with the word "cheat" there will be some lazy people & trolls who will assume they _did_ cheat... even if the entire video is discussing how they _didn't._ It's bad enough having to defend yourself _within_ a community without the wider internet drawing the wrong conclusions... so while it might be OK to discuss more generally, it's not really fair to the players to talk about their individual situations without their OK.

    Every time I watch one of your videos I tell myself to boot up TM and go for it, but I can just never find the time.
    One of these days I'm gonna try it. And I know it sounds stupid to others reading this, but one thing I really want to do, is come out of nowhere with no history and grind unnoticed to just decimate something and shock everyone. To make them think it was a fluke or somehow cheated, just to make every unlisted achievement public and surprise everyone.
    And I have done similar things before with a few records in other games, just not for something as difficult and beloved as TM, and so I usually delete them or keep them unlisted.
    Man, I swear something about Wirtual videos just really gets me. Maybe it's the passion and love for the game? I'm not sure myself.
    But just like my dumbass is, i'm sure you'll probably inspire a future WR holder and I just wanna say thanks in advance if it ever happens.
    Even if it never comes to fruition, you got me interested in something I could've easily gone my whole life never knowing.
    I only wish I knew there were dedicated communities like this sooner, rather than spending over a decade and a half breaking games and challenging myself out of boredom, and doing incredible things no one would ever know, and having luck that should never realistically happen to a person.

    honest question,
    if the anti cheat patch could detect if CE was attached to the game
    and if the anti cheat patch has some method of marking replays as invalid
    why not just ban any replay where CE is attached to the game?
    Is there a legit reason to have CE connected to the game for legit WRs?
    If no, then I see no reason to allow any replay where CE is attached to the game on the legit WR leaderboard.
    But if the first set of questions have no as an answer, why?
    the first question is rhetorical, the video shows the patch can detect CE
    But the second question isnt explicitly answered.
    So if the answer to the second question is no, then what does the patch even accomplish?
    If you can attach CE, run the game speed at 10%, and still get a replay on the leaderboards AND cause this much contention around the replay by playing ignorant, then, pardon my ignorance, what does this patch even do..?
