    Met Billy Mitchell and was a real nice guy....King of Kong makes him seem like an arrogant dick but he was not. What the movie did to Steve was a dick move or just movie drama for not wanting to accept his scores, inspect his boards etc. was pretty stupid. The dude has skills as does anyone else putting up ridiculous scores and getting to the kill screen at live events. I personally have put up over 450K on DK and if I tried hard enough and played long enough would eventually get to a kill screen. I see what it takes to get to their skill level and it’s a lot of work. I have played 3 perfect games of Pac-Man at home running original boards....no MAME but I used a combination of patterns and on the fly stuff each time. I can do it without patterns if I wanted to but I learned the game well enough to do so. I give props to all who figured out methods/patterns to all the classic games. Even patterns can be tough because you have to be exact with little to no forgiveness. Pac-Man is an example that patterns work until you make a mistake or your timing is just a little off so you have to be able to react in those situations to get the perfect game. Donkey King has more strategy for each board but is very random so requires extreme concentration and recognition from experience on what to do.

    Bottom line is movies/TV have their own agendas so don’t read a lot into what they make people out to be in general.....
