    “I will not deny team 0% their victory” what kind of egotistic statement is that?

    It’s not egotistic. The uploader is saying that it would’ve been their fault that 0% “failed” if they didn’t come clean, and they didn’t want that.

    Not really sure why this person is getting so much grief, tbh. They uploaded a crazy hard level for fun, long before the attempt to complete every level. It was never their intention to sabotage that.

      Not “crazy hard”. Cheated. I don’t know what kind of grief he’s getting, but he deserves it. If he didn’t want to sabotage their task, he should have admitted it right away when he uploaded it. Or 2 weeks ago when his level became the last level. Or a month ago when everyone learned about the task. Before people wasted hours of their life trying to beat a hacked level.

      “I won’t deny them the victory” is a control statement. What he has done has allowed them to win. Delivery has connotation, and his whole message is one of explaining away what he did.

        Admit it to whom? The 10-15 people that made up 0% way before Nintendo ceased allowing uploads, back when Team 0% was another meme team?

        You have strong negative opinions for someone who doesn’t seem to have any grasp on this community or the timeline in which this took place. No one told Ahoyo that their level was the last until they asked them if it was TASed. Ahoyo isn’t streaming nowadays, and isn’t spending their days going to streamers who played a game he played to see if one of the millions of levels was theirs.

          Nobody told me, either. I just sort by Top-All. It was the top story on any gaming site for weeks. My son was also excited about this too, even he’d heard about it. It’s a cool story.

          Yes, I took offense on the part of the people who I saw reacting very frustrated after they’d tried the level for hours without TAS. And it upset me his response wasn’t more apologetic. Team 0% having to include a statement not to attack him and keep the peace seems like I’m probably not the only one.

          In all, though, that was my interpretation. I’ve never talked with anyone in 0% or Ahoyo. Maybe in Ahoyo talk, that’s a good apology.
