Track and Field - 96080 PAC

[ZID]

Hello, the replay of PAC (96080) has been move to 0 for use autofire. But PAC don't use autofire never. I want to know how can see if his replay is make with autofire or not.

Thanks

That's interesting, but I don't think anyone witnessed this particular recording and saw that human fingers alone were pressing the buttons. The variance of human presses can't lie. Normally there is some hicup of 1/10th second during burst presses. This recording shows litterally more than 10,000 presses were exactly 1/30th of a second apart and near adjacent (perfectly oscilating with the frames of the recording). This doesn't happen when even super human people can demonstrate rapid fire techniques. We usually disqualify recordings when more than 1,000 presses demonstrate this lack of press variance fact (and even when the presses are actually at a more super human rate of 1/10th - 1/20th of a second) but this recording shows that nearly all of it's 20,000 presses were mechanically enhanced.

I'm afraid to say this also brings PAC's 1943 recording into question, as it uses very similar autofire variance.

If you look at PAC's first recording of rtypej, it's OK. The 8,000 presses here in a 25 minute recording all show a normal human speed press signature and is NOT using an autofirer. His other early recording of dkong is has no autofire detected.

I wonder what made him start using presses that were twice the speed and 3 times the lack of variance of the recordings he did just a few months ago? Pacman power pill perhaps? no. We want everyone to be at the same level of competition to be fair. If we allowed autofire or any technique that you didn't have with your fingers and an arcade machine, then it would be a different story. But we want to keep the competition back to when arcades were alive and you had to prove yourself there.

Very interesting Chad. I will speak with PAC for explain it

Thanks very much.
