I'm surprised so many people want this run stay. I understand people like Ross' logic, in that the rules weren't posted across all websites and that Hibiki *may* not have known. Key word... "may." We don't know what he truly knew. If he claims he didn't know the rule, how can we believe that for sure? Are we giving him the benefit of the doubt simply because he's Japanese, like people have done with other JP players in the past? He saw the "ghost will not save" warning and chose to ignore it. That's just about all we can know for sure. That, and that he likely gained a minor advantage during his run due to his music hack.

Aside from that mess, he's proven himself to be quite the asshole. IIRC during the whole incident, he tweeted in Japanese something along the lines of: "If you call Blaze a racist, he'll add your time to mkwrs.com Grin" I get that taking someone's character into account for these decisions probably shouldn't matter (otherwise I'd be all for keeping Fox's run) when there's an objectively correct decision. But in this case, there's not one. And people are defending this bonehead!

I agree with KingAlex. There are people that want the other times to not be counted but want this one to count, HYPOCRITES. I am going to be pissed if this run actually counts.
