So... apparently the runner Chibi was doing Paper Mario TTYD "WR attempts" using levitate cheats.
Story is developing, but here's the basis:
A new glitch was recently discovered in TTYD which allows Mario to skip almost all of chapter 3. The trick is done by entering an encounter while jumping, and then jumping again as soon as mario exits the encounter. This allows mario to access a ledge he should not be able to access without Yoshi.
Chibi, the "I would appreciate it if you would be quiet" guy, is new to running the game. When the trick was discovered Chibi was supposedly one of the first people to do it on console. Despite Chibi's PB being approximately 90 minutes behind World Record, and the new skip saving only approximately 10-15 minutes, Chibi was ranting on his twitter which he now deleted that he is doing "world record attempts" despite being extremely far off world record.
As it turns out, Chibi was using levitate cheats to extend his jumps while doing the double jump glitch, to ensure that it is successful every time. This is evidenced by higher than normal jump heights, as well as the lack of a jumping noise when doing the double jump, which was simply Mario levitating.
Chibi was confronted by Malleo ( the guy who made the TTYD TAS) and later admitted to cheating both on skype and on twitter.
Chibi's times have been removed from the TTYD leaderboard, and it is being suggested by the community that Chibi be banned from SpeedRunsLive, Speedrun.com, and GDQs.
Story still developing.

Situation summary above by Andis1, May 10th. Source reddit thread.

For those who don't know, he was the guy doing commentary in the awkward AGDQ 2014 Tomba 2 moments.
What do you guys think should be done about it?

This dude so thirsty for approval from the speedrun community would permanently trash whatever reputation he had doing this. It's sad.

What is RPG Limit Break?

RPG Limit Break is a charity speedrunning marathon being held in Salt Lake City, UT. Speedrunners from across the US, Canada, and Australia have gathered to crush role-playing games and support charity.

During the event, we're encouraging you to donate directly to NAMI. By donating, you can vote with your wallet to name characters or to get speedrunners to complete difficult challenges. You can also become eligible to win prizes donated by community members. Your donations will go to both the national organization and the UT-based chapter of NAMI, supporting programs focused on teens and young adults.

NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, was founded in 1979 as a grassroots organization focused on making better lives for those with mental illness. Through the use of education, advocacy, and research, NAMI aims to raise awareness of mental health issues and bring hope to those in need.

Following up on this Chibi stuff.

Apparently people are threatening to SWAT him, and have Doxxed him already over the Paper Mario Cheating.

I just don't know what to say.

can't speak to doxxing but swatting 100% is illegal. Really really really illegal.

I am not sure what SWAT and doxxing mean, but is
SWAT = calling the police and sent them to a streamer via a fake threat?
Doxxing = DDOS attack on his connection?

If that's the case, the former should be illegal, and I guess laws about the later are either in the works or already exist

doxxing is basically giving out personal (like, the type of info you couldn't find unless you looked hard) info. It's a relatively common way to attack someone via the internet since it basically opens the flood gates to crazy people harassing the person. Pretty fucked up.

OK. I am never ever going to stream now. That stuff is scary :(
Seriously, it could scare me into being pro-surveillance

So far the runs have been really good, even the messed up Hyper super metroid was fun. Really hyped to see how far AM2R has come, can't wait to play the latest update.

Yeah, there's been a few technical bumps (honestly what marathon doesn't have them) and it was a shame Foosda's Hyper Metroid run didn't go well, but it's been great so far!

I haven't watched WW in awhile, what is the record down to?
Click to expand...

Any% is down to 4:03:58 by Chaotic_Ace. He's been streaming regularly trying to improve it, but lots of things can kill the run.

100% is at 7:16:22 by Demoon9. That was totally rerouted by TrogWW but Demoon9 just impulsively decided to improve the record before Trog could take it lol.

You can check http://zeldaspeedruns.com/ in future if you're curious. Great site.
