It shows that the user themselves can get scores like what they are claiming are 'their' scores, without cheating or having others play for them.

Okay, but the trick is : how do you know that the guy in the video is the user and not the person playing for him / her ?

Re: Suspicious scores thread~

Frederic is onto something here.

What if the person who is making the videos for the person, who is suspected of having someone play for them, is also the one that appears in the videos?
[lmfao what a sentence]
How do we truly know who the ACTUAL user is? It gets quite tricky with at least lesser known / prolific individuals such as in this case.

Re: Suspicious scores thread~

I don't want 1983 or NNT. They're both too easy to verify something like Canary or Pandora. How about Rage Template? Or well I guess NNT would be fine. If she can re-SDG it on video with keytaps, someone better at detecting BS than me could verify it.

Also with Funnygurl, just seeing that it's a girl would be pretty good evidence it's really her, since the number of females on FFR anywhere near that skill level is like... Sky Kitten and that's it. Unless FG has been a guy all along. Then, well, yeah.

Re: Suspicious scores thread~

Yeah since the person indicated they are a female, I think an introduction to the camera would suffice.
Now had it been a fairly unknown male...

PS: I totally respect the way you handle this and I do not personally think you are suspicious -- I am just addressing concerns that may be raised during this ordeal.

Everyone should just calm down, she's agreed to make a video so let's just shut up and wait.

Re: Suspicious scores thread~

Okay, finally done.
This video's really awkward because I don't... really... take videos of myself playing (and it's kinda late). Got Since 1983 AAA'd on here, though! FINALLY...

Hope this clears any suspicion about my scores! ._.''

EDIT: Wait does logging in count as an introduction? I didn't look at this thread for a bit.
Yeah I really should have looked back at this thread. Would have played different songs ^^'...

conspiracy theory right here

Re: Suspicious scores thread~

the world of stepmania is an infinite line marked at an arbitrary interval to measure progress along this line, otherwise known as "stepmania skill"

we are all travelers along this line. some walk. some run. some sprint ahead only to tire away and retreat in a dissonant sulk. to some this world is an escape from reality, to others it is reality

while each interval represents the same quantity of "stepmania skill" achieved, it becomes increasingly difficult to obtain the next level of "stepmania skill"

to leap ahead multiple intervals of "stepmania skill" near the beginning of this stepmania line may seem impossibly difficult to some, but to many others it is a juvenile task, those people being the talented travelers along the stepmania line, destined to ignore silly notions such as human limitation - and one day, against impossible odds, finally reach the end of the stepmania world.

fin

im hoped u have enjoied my story i have entitle it "stepmania"

tl;dr come on lets be honest anyone actively playing this game for 2 months is bound to skill boost a ton at this level considering the entire game is just trained response to visual stimuli

No. AAAing 1s to AAAing 8s is one thing. Going from low 60s to borderline FGOs is not trivial. It's probably possible within two months, but the number of games played and hours spent would have to be obscene.

That said, she does seem legit, but what Dossar said about "stupid" replays still has me guessing. Zero frame hits are not trivial either.
