Yeah baby. You can play like TAS. Very Impressive. Back in 2004 I held the 16 star world record for several years. Holy Moly
-
The epitome of “three kids in a trench coat “
-
I love speedrunning because I get to hear such great sentences as "Crushing the former record by half a second!"
-
MJ watching Habrich's confession video is like Batman finding out there's three Jokers from the mobius chair.
-
"Are you seriously cheating by yourself?" "Nah. I'm with my boys!"
-
When your rival is 3 people, and their confession is a comedy where they call you a chump If it weren’t so high level, everyone would’ve gotten a kick out of it
-
I guess you could say, he used his pals to combat the PAL advantage.
-
I’m mostly shocked that three real life friends all happened to be insanely talented at Mario Kart speed running. Not many people can get as good as them and MJ, and the fact that three of them were real life friends is just crazy to me. Like what are the odds that they are all talented enough to even form a speed running collective
-
Basically, in order to splice Mario Kart 64, you'd need to be able to perform it WITHOUT splices.
-
It's funny, they didn't even really cheat the runs, just the "champ" title.
-
This is by far one of the craziest and funniest "cheating" stories I've ever heard. It's an amazing twist that got willingly revealed in a humorous way. It's so simple, yet so unexpected that it had been more than one person all along.
-
"Nowadays, records have to be streamed live." Identical triplets: "Challenge accepted." All in all, a pretty entertaining story and intriguing slice of history.
-
Honestly, if i were MJ, i wouldnt be mad Dude basically had 3 amazing runners he kept defeating
-
This is Hab...the times were legit. We would sit around for HOURS watching each other play. Troy was the best of us followed closely by Luke. The funny part is I was actually the worst 😂
-
I love this, a very wholesome cheating moment, exposed a method of cheating that couldn't be caught, did it with the full intention of admitting to cheating, and pushed a runner likely much further than they ever would have gone by themselves
-
Me at the first mention of any names: "That's him, he's the cheater"
-
Tfw your rival is actually three people in a trenchcoat.
-
The real cheaters were the friends we made along the way.
-
MJ: DO YOU SEE WHAT THEY NEED TO MIMIC A FRACTION OF MY POWER?
-
That confession video is absolutely iconic I lost it at "MJ's a CHUMP!"
