I don't know why I bothered posting this on nsider >_>

But LDA is suspicious of zampa's btt scores. Here's why:

I really hate to do this, but one of the top players has some strong evidence that may suggest they
are lying about their scores.

I will apologize to this person now, in case it turns out that they are innocent. Sorry. (void if my suspicion is correct)

Anyways... I will not spend this post mindlessly bashing the victim. I will instead use it to list my reasons why I think what I think. Let us begin, shall we?
==========================

It all started about one year ago when he (and by he I mean Zampa) started improving like there was no tomorrow. At that point I was willing to accept that the 50 HZ gives PAL the advantage somehow. (I sorta still do. <_<) Everything was going along smoothly. People were improving at a steady rate, but he comes flying past everyone with no effort. My suspicions started here. Yes, we all have a bit of "skepticalness" in us when people improve faster than others (or dare I say it? Faster than [i]you) in a short period of time. The "skepticalness" was just harmless thoughts until he started failing to release videos he already had. If I recall correctly, Mario (8.03) was the first one he didn't deliver. it beat marth1's score by 0.05, so I don't think anyone was going to accept it without a video. Surely enough, AFTER something was said it was released.

Good times were had when the video was released, and things slowly piled up from there. Perhaps the first to suspect Zampa (I'm sure you all know who) came up with an easy way to cheat the system. This system could have (and I think it was) used and no one knew it. More on this later.

Here's when the solid proof begins:

Take a look at these year-old Action Replay videos.

Ever wonder why ONLY his frame by frame videos are in good quality, but his "actual" videos are in webcam quality? This plays a major role in cheating. No one would ever think that a person with a webcam could cheat. I was told by Zampa that he frame by frames onto a DVD. Why couldn't he do this with his regular videos?

After a bit of crazy improving he vanished off the face of the globe for four months. He doesn't improve... ever. But his new scores start to happen when he gets non-laggy frame by frame videos back.

Check his original three. He tested his new Falco strat, my Samus strat and the Fox strat that everyone has been thinking of since the beginning of time. check the two Action Replay videos after that. Ness and Samus (7.60) have close to no lag. Notice that his "real" videos start coming after that. He was also able to have Samus frame by framed (7.65) with close to no effort in just a few short hours. Almost like he knew what he was doing. Now the new strat era begins.

My next lead is Donkey Kong. Have you guys ever wondered why the strat wasn't released yet? (I know a few people asked in the alst topic) The end of the video holds a dark secret that was clearly missed in the cut off.

That is the Donkey Kong strategy. (Megaupload not work for you? Try this rapid share link.)

Did you see what was wrong? Look closer. Still can't see?

Oh, snap? Is that 8.13 with a total of 3:27.28? O_o what's that doing there. I've never heard of anyone using the same card for real play and frame by frame testing, PAL does not have the score swap glitch, not does Zampa claim to have a total that bad.

I'll post the rest of his argument if anybody is interested.

I'm interested.

o_O

I'm interested as well.

(continued)

Now let's take a look at his newest videos. These scores were claimed days ago, and the videos were just released today. Why is that? I can't attack Luigi, but I sure can tell you what's wrong with Dr. Mario.

Notice anything... similar? If you said the sound issue and the extra jump sound going up the final platform you are correct. Why is this here? Allow me to explain some things. You frame by frame the score, collect the frames and put them together in whatever program (I wanna say Virtual Dub) you use to make it look like a video again. From here you can add your own custom sound. In this case, the sound of a video roughly 0.10 slower. Take a look at this video made by our very own GannyMaster.

The beginning is definitely off, but it straightens up by the end. You can hardly tell it's modified. Zampa could have easily done this with Dr. Mario. Why else would there be a sound issue and an extra jump noise?

Here is his Dr. Mario video off Youtube. Notice that the extra noises aren't there because of an issue with Youtube. They are actually there.

There you have it. My several reasons for why Zampa should just either confess to cheating, or answer a lot of questions. List of questions that need answers. (good answers)

- Why are the Action Replay videos the only videos with good quality?
- Why did new records suddenly start coming after the frame by frame "market" increased quality?
- What's up with that Donkey Kong score and the total? And why is there only a few frames of it at the end?
- You have the ability to make videos on the same day the score is obtained, and making a video takes less than 5 minutes of a persons time. Why must we wait days to even see it?
- Why does your Dr. Mario have normal sound in the beginning, but screw up and sound just like marth1's video sound was placed there before the cape?

This may sound a bit demanding, but I want every one answered with a very reasonable answer. Once again, I hate to call people cheaters, but this stuff just keeps adding up. Thank you for your time.

Note: This is not a hate speech against Zampa. This was to keep the world record list as clean as possible. (Which is something that hardly anyone is interested in today) Say what you want, but I ask you to keep an open mind to both sides. I don't like the idea that Zampa would come along and cheat, but some rather weird things have been shown here.

O_O too many good points.

Has Zampa answered any of the questions yet?

Zampa said on his Doc video that he was playing Marth1's record on his PC while doing the Doc strat. Yeah, right.

Nice detective work. O_o (Who's Zampa? o.o)

LDA was the one who originally posted it.

And yeah, I totally think zampa is lying. I'll post all of his answers.

Damn bitch.

who actually has the time to investigate all of this?

(I obviously know that the answer is LDA, but you get what I'm saying)

Well, he's like #2 in the world, echo.

This is very serious. If you were to expect the supposed #2 player in the world was lying about their scores and you were a pro in btt what would you do?
