10 Speedrunners Who Were Caught Cheating

"You're not factoring in the human element of how the game will respond"
Not factoing in the human element of how computer code will react.......what? Dude, it's code, it does or does not....theres no artistic liberty or creativity or any other human part to it other than that it was written by a human. What a J4Jenius.

I just figured out what happened

I know I'm VERY late

I've always loved your videos

Rest in peace games dude

Rest easy young king, you maybe out of bounds but your still in the game 🙏🙏🙏

""honest mistake""

Rest in peace, Apollo. You're no longer suffering.

"Honest mistake". How can you splice by honest mistake?

Wow imagine all the good society could do if speed runners put their skills into something more productive

bro i cant believe he suicide

Rip King

I can't watch this as it reminds me that he has died

As a developer, I find it funny that people would photoshop scoreboards. First, it's super easy to detect, and second, with the right tool you can already make the scoreboard show what you want anyway.

Still wishing Apollo legend would come back.

holy shit i just found out. rest in peace dude

Rest In Peace, Apollo.

Come back Apolo!!!! We need you.

Dude had to take drastic action. What else do you want? Lol

Rest In Peace, Apollo. Some people might have disagreed with your methods or how you went about issues in speedrunning, but I loved every minute of it. You'll be missed.

The Holy Moly guy is amazing.

Rip apollo 💙

Ngl, I didn't even know he died until i went on a billy mitchell video to laugh at him. People say that apollo wasn't a great person but his videos were decent so idc

Hey, know you aren't around anymore... but I hope you are resting well, you helped me get into the speedrunning community (not that I'm any good yet) I miss your uploads still and you did help brighten the world when I watch your videos

RIP Apollo

Okay, you had multiple things wronh in your segment about Todd Roger... although yes, he is one of the worst cheaters in gaming hostory (for better information about him id recommend Karl Jobsts videos about him)
Edit:(I now know he is dead, I don't need more people telling me this lol... but it is very sad and unfortunate, please be respectful)

Rest in Peace Apollo. This video is still great.

“Alright so now I’m a verified cheater” lol

🤣 IMAGINE BEING SO BAD AT A VIDEOGAME THAT YOU'RE NOT EVEN GOOD AT CHEATING. 🤣

Todd Rodgers has since been proven to have cheated pretty much every single one of his records, and input most of them onto the Twin Galaxies leaderboards himself, as he was a referee. He's one of the most prolific cheaters to come out of the Twin Galaxies revelations, but far from the only one.

Apollo is dead from suicide I think

Clicked on this, then saw who uploaded it.


Damn...

such underutlized talents to catch cheeto fingered cheaters.

I really wish, Apollo could have lived to see what's currently happening with Billy Mitchell.... 😭😭😭

RIP Apollo. There are a lot of people down here who love and miss you brother.

R.I.P
Gone too soon

Most speedrunners cheat because a lot of them find loopholes in the game and complete the games through those loopholes instead of completing the game how the makers intended

i never actually realised where apollo went, then i saw, rip apollo man

5 years later, this video is still great. RIP Apollo

The “human element” is so funny wtf

R.i.p Apollo.

I like cheating

TSA: "I DID NOT CHEAT! I ONLY SPLICED TOGETHER SEGMENTS FROM DIFFERENT RUNS!"
...so basically, he's admitting that he cheated. 🤣 It's so satisfying to see legitimacy-testing technology catch up to these cheaters and easily expose their methods. Like TSA, some of them have THE most entertaining meltdowns ever. 🍿

Rest in peace. ❤

It’s great that no matter how much time passes, that intro is still going to be relevant

Rest in peace.

RIP man.

Why would anyone try to join this speedrunning/highscores community, its infested with cheaters.

Wait wait wait how is cheating and honest mistake

Rest in peace, I remember his videos and they were a big part of the speed running community back in the day, it's so sad it ended the way it did he was forced to take his own life because the man he called out in this video was suing him for everything he had and he lost everything

Todd looks like someone who peaked in high school and is clawing onto the world record because its the last bit of relevance he has in his lifetime.

Strangely, the same with Billy Mitchel.
