ersatz_cats is full schizo. He's a Billy stalker more obsessive than Roy Shildt.
Perfectpacman
used to be Billy's website but it expired and ersatz sniped it from him and turned it into a hate site. As previously mentioned, ersatz and Karl
helped EZ_Scape with the video attacking Apollo Legend. Ersatz was partly
responsible for starting the lie that Apollo paid Billy money.
Ersatz flew to Australia to cover the courtroom proceedings. He wasn't present in person on Day 7, so he was allowed to watch remotely via internet link. Good job he wasn't there, because when Karl's lawyer made a blunder ersatz was planning on committing contempt of court to correct him, because this mental patient would rather spend time in prison than allow Billy Mitchell a court win.
Amid the cope and seethe after Billy's victory, ersatz insulted the judge on every platform then took to his blog to sperg out because normies were actually rediscovering that Billy legitimately beat all the Donkey Kong scores he was alleged to have faked, and ersatz linked to his schizo page full of "evidence" about the disputed scores.
For the record, here are Billy's scores:
2020-06-26 - Score 1,092,100 - Legitimate
2010-07-31 - Score 1,062,800 - Disputed
2007-07-13 - Score 1,050,200 - Disputed
2018-11-23 - Score 1,050,100 - Legitimate
2018-08-16 - Score 1,047,500 - Legitimate
2004-12-28 - Score 1,047,200 - Disputed
Billy deliberately aimed for the scores he was accused of faking and tried to either match or beat them, which he did. Every Billy detractor tried to tear these scores down but they couldn't, the scores were all streamed live on Twitch, on original hardware. Every autist with MAME knowledge was looking for girder fingers but didn't find shit. The scores are bulletproof. Walter (ersatz) handled this... poorly. He's left spluttering with excuses such as "1,050,100 isn't
exactly 1,050,200 so it doesn't count" and "Billy's on the
historical Twin Galaxies leaderboard, not the
real one!" He spent paragraphs pontificating that the normies would side with the detractors if they only knew that Billy setting legitimate scores doesn't change the fact he cheated on his old ones.
This begs the question what the point of high score boards actually is.
Are they a genuine attempt to track the highest legitimate scores ever achieved in games and the people who achieved them, or are they just a hugbox for megalomaniac losers who can't help but abuse the miniscule amount of power they've been given? I think we know the answer to that.
Of course, Karl is the biggest purveyor of speedrun/highscore drama. Not only does he report it, but he's actively involved in the persecution of people he reports on.
Take this guy for example:
His name is Mekarazium (Meka). He cheated in the DLC for a spinoff Metal Gear game (lol who takes this shit seriously) by splicing together the best segments of a run and passing it off as a single segment. After he got caught, he admitted it was spliced and submitted it to the segmented category rather than the single segment category. It was accepted because no hacks were used during the segments, so therefore the segments were acceptable, obviously.
Karl was so irate that Meka originally tried to pass off the run as single segment that he personally contacted the admin of the board to try to get Meka banned for life. These were Karl's demands:
They were rejected. So Karl spent the last part of
his video attacking the admin.
Anyway, the only reason I mention this is because Karl himself previously admitted cheating. He made a
smug video about it and seemed to
admit to a separate case in the old forum posts from The Elite. He wasn't a kid at the time either, he was 18 years old. That's not much younger than Schmooey, the 20 year old
Guitar Hero cheater he made a video about. For some reason, Karl doesn't seem to think he should be held to his own standards.
Karl made two videos about Queen_Pwnzalot, a Twitch streamer who broadcast blindfolded attempts at killing a boss in Monster Hunter or something (I've never played it):
For the purposes of research, I watched one of her streams without commenting. She gets about 150 viewers. Before I saw that, I assumed Karl was hunting famous streamers who got too big for their boots. This girl just fucks around on stream with her friends in front of basically nobody. She probably has a real job because that's not enough viewers for a career. A couple people in chat brought up the Billy judgement and she acknowledged it. She seems nice. I'm not simping, I was just shocked that big YouTubers all seemed to gang up on this girl for essentially pranking her friends and small community. Karl's two videos on her have
1.4 million views and
2.2 million views respectively.
I find this to be pretty disgusting behaviour. Through this thread and my own research I've come to the conclusion that Karl is a nasty vindictive hypocrite, a self righteous liar, an abusive bully, and a cheater, who surrounds himself with some of the worst people in the gaming and drama community. I'm happy that Billy Mitchell wrecked his shit and I hope Karl loses his home, his wife, his channel, and every penny he has.
