Wiebe's jealous because all he has is Donkey Kong, while Billy rules over a hot sauce empire with his ex-stripper wife.

Doesn't Billy Mitchell hold other records too?

Anyway, he comes off like a total dickhead in King Of Kong, and I don't see how it could have been edited to make him out to be the "bad guy" with his behavior/actions. WEIBE 4 LYFE

Is there a reason why you can't just climb to the top of the screen and jump over barrels indefinitely to boost your score? It seems like it'd be possible, so I wonder why everyone just tries to play the game straight up.

He gets the best points from humping Kong. He got some massive points just there when all the fireballs were pinned at the top.

Yeah I saw that -- why does he stop doing it and finish the stage? Does it only work for a little while?

One of the mods in the live feed said that if you spend too much time in one level boosting your score, they disqualify you from competitive Donkey Kong.

That strikes me as kinda stupid, but then I guess these competitions wouldn't be much fun if it was some guy jumping over barrels for hours. Is there a strict time limit for each level? A limit to how many points you can earn per level? Or is it just at the judge's discretion to tell you to move on when you are obviously gaming the system?

Is that Sessler and Morgan Webb in the background now? I heard he gets a handjob from Webb if he beats the high score (and he gets one from Sessler if he doesn't).

Genghis Cohen, what about when Billy was avoiding Wiebe and some of the stuff he said (negatively) about what Wiebe was doing? Is there a good place to read further on this? Thought I read everything a year or so ago.

Wikipedia has some commentary on the film:

Quote

Disputed facts

Walter Day of Twin Galaxies believes that the documentary is dishonest in its portrayal of the actual events. In posts on a Twin Galaxies forum entitled "The King of Kong — Official Statement"[19] he contends, among other things, that:

   * In 2000 Tim Sczerby reached a high score of 879,200 points. Steve Wiebe beat both this score and Billy Mitchell's 1982 score. (In response, the film's producers claim that "Tim Sczerby's consistently disputed record was impossible to verify and did not merit inclusion in the film."[20])
   * Billy Mitchell was not always avoiding Steve Wiebe. They met and played together on several occasions before the time period of the film, notably the 2004 Classic Gaming Expo, and they were on very friendly terms — even giving interviews together. In one scene in the film, it is implied that Mitchell drove away from his restaurant when he learned Wiebe was there, but Day contends that in fact Mitchell came in with his whole family and greeted everyone apologetically, including Wiebe.[21]
   * Steve Wiebe actually held the high score record for almost 3 years, and when his videotaped score of 1,006,000 points was rejected, the record actually reverted back to Wiebe's own previous record reached in 2003 — it did not revert to Billy Mitchell's 1982 score as implied by the film.
   * Mitchell's videotaped record sent to the Funspot event was actually discarded after the event, and Walter Day apologized "for the mistake of approving this videotape without the benefit of a complete verification process". The score was reverted to Wiebe's score achieved at Funspot.[22]

Day feels that the information presented above "shows that Twin Galaxies did recognize Steve Wiebe's great skills and honor him," and "reveals that Twin Galaxies did not elbow Steve's accomplishment aside so as to protect Billy Mitchell's 874,300 point score."[23]

Other facts

Director Seth Gordon has also admitted to skewing facts and altering time-lines during various interviews[24] concerning the movie. Through careful editing and instigation, Seth Gordon was able to create a storyline loosely based on reality. However, Gordon contends that the movie would have been "darker" had he not played with the facts; a 2008 interview/article by Retro Gamer Magazine, 52nd issue, with Billy Mitchell, Walter Day, and Steve Wiebe suggest otherwise.

The planned follow-up is said to fix the facts together and continue with the friendly rivalry between Mitchell and Wiebe.

Interesting assuming this is all true and not just some Wiki-lolz edit. But Billy's still a dick.

It's a set point. He knew it was coming up, he just couldn't do anything about it. On G4, Walter Day said he messed up early on and didn't milk enough points, and he couldn't make up for it in the late game.

From wiki

Donkey Kong also featured a kill screen in the 22nd stage, and the 117th screen. This is an example of a kill screen that is not due to an integer overflow in a level counter (since programmers prevented this),[2] but a different oversight on the part of the designers. The amount of time allowed for any given screen is determined algorithmically during play by the level the player is on. The timer is calculated 100*(10* (level + 4)), and has a maximum value of 8000. When the level reaches 22, the game reads 100*(10*(22+4)) or 100*260. However, the 8-bit counter rolls over at 256, meaning the game calculates 100*4. This causes the timer to be set so low that there is simply not enough time for the screen to possibly be completed. Steve Wiebe got this screen when he attempted to beat Billy Mitchell's high score record on Donkey Kong.[citation needed]
