Yeah sorry about that, I've been busy. This Sunday/Monday I'll update.

I only count 9 players on that list.

Surprising how Victor isn't counted, but Mander is.  

Nice update but I noticed it still says Jarv has CM when I thought Lee had it?

Theres a missing wr for CM, i improved my own wr to 44.587 on july 19th, i probably did more improvements wich were not uploaded but i dont remember all of them.

To clear a few things up:

1 victor: he submitted hacked times (less than 1 second 3laps) days before he popped up with his "WR's" and they were removed from wifi. He also impersonated the real 4*victor and refused to send his times to wifi. He never went through any means to prove himself either. Therefore he wouldn't be counted on this site, and it's funny to see someone like aruba, who sets up all of these stream rules, to even consider that guy to be legit for a second without proving himself.

2 mander: lied about controllers used and was fishy in general -- he should not be counted without proof; it doesn't matter if he records WR's, he can still be illegitimate and it is likely that he is. Pierrepont seriously needs to re-evaluate the requirements for records to be on his website.

I have to agree and disagree there.

Unlike Mander, Daniel has streamed (albeit many believe his stream to be faked, he still streamed and set many PR's (such as Rainbow Road) while on stream). Whether people like to believe it or not, we ALL knew that faking a stream was possible; this has been common knowledge since 2010. What seems to have happened was that when Daniel set his rBC3 record on stream, some people (mostly due to Chouy constantly insisting that the time was faked) still refused to accept his time and jumped all over the opportunity to scream "HE IS AN ILLEGITIMATE LIAR" when you brought up the fact that he could have faked the stream due to him not racing ghosts, etc. However, the same could be said with any and every person who streamed prior to the guidelines that you set up and haven't streamed since (whether it be due to retirement, broken Wii, etc.), so it is a bit unfair to jump all over Daniel's case when the same thing could apply to so many more people.


Now, for the big issue that people always, ALWAYS seem to avoid when he's brought up: Mander. I'm going to have to say that this guy cannot be trusted. Does he do the community a huge favor by uploading MKW World Records to YouTube? Yes. However, should that mean that he should get a free pass to any and all accusations? Definitely not.

People seem to overlook / ignore / make weak attempts to shoot me down every time I try to bring these things up:

1. Mander TAS'd on MKSC back in 2003 / early 2004.

2. When some people started to question him, "the data was lost" and he vanished for a little while. Might I mention that this can happen quite often on emulators such as VBA, and I don't even know if VBA was around at this time, meaning that he could have been using an even more faulty emulator.

3. If he is asked to stream, he doesn't. He may pretend that he doesn't see you or even go as far as blocking you if you're on YouTube.

4. Even some people still today question his legitimacy on MKSC -- there is no mystery why. His driving is more consistent than even the likes of Michael Jongerius (seriously) and each and every lap is driven the exact same as the last (this has even happened on MKW -- see tracks like Koopa Cape, Rainbow Road, etc.), he has pulled off SC's that nobody besides him has done more than 1/3, yet he has multiple 3/3 runs (see Sky Garden nonSC, he is 11 seconds ahead of 2nd WW, same goes for Boo Lake SC, where he is 9 seconds ahead of 2nd WW), he has a tendency to maximize runs to where not even TAS can beat them due to the framerate -- literally frame-perfect runs (see Cheese Land SC, GV3 SC, etc.).

5. He just pops up when there's a new strategy, even if it's an incredibly hard strategy to do (Rainbow Road, Daisy Circuit and Grumble Volcano come to mind) and usually takes the World Record with it using average driving and near-flawless SC's.

6. He claimed to use the Classic Controller for Daisy Circuit, Wii Remote + Nunchuck for Moonview Highway, etc., and Maschell's site proved this to be a lie. Why is this significant? Because all of them were done with GCN when he said otherwise, and this could mean that he could have at least used TAS codes on them.

7. His rBC3 "no-brake SC" video, which was done live, proves that he is capable of HD livestream, yet he still refuses.

I'm not trying to make Mander look like scum, as he's my friend and competitor on many other games outside MKW, but he definitely needs to be looked into and informed that if he does not at least try to prove himself that he records will no longer be counted as World Records.

Wait does his DC say that he did it with GCN? I have this PM he sent me nearly 2 years ago when I asked him what controller he uses.

Re: Re:Hello, Congrats on your new WR.

I handle all controllers.
MH and KC and Wi-Fi uses the GC controller.
DC use a classic controller.
The Nunchuck controller is used with rGV2.

Ok, and this is the same person that has 2 of the strongest WR's in the game as well as 2 of the oldest?

Indeed, the live replay code is a code specifically written for one controller, there is absolutely no reason why it can't be altered for other controllers.

So, you've given no reason why there cannot be a code address for any of the other controllers.
Anyway, I know that I don't know the finer points of hacking, all I ever say is that you can't just say 'live replay code isn't for wheel' as evidence to speak defending Victor's legitimacy.
