Melee player caught cheating using game hacks! - My response

I hope to follow up on this next week. Please feel free to ask me questions on Twitter, etc.

It fascinates me to think that all this time he was secretly developing doki doki and nobody knew

[Fubzo]

why don't melee players just spend more time on deodorant than modding???

[JaneViolet_]

Aw man I didn't get to see who won.

[vault]

I'm surprised that it happened to Melee before Brawl or PM first.

[Nordanix]

This is incredible sad that some poor soul felt the need to use hacks in order to be able and win.

You should have low key played with a buffed Link in the video for the meme

[ArtilleryCrusader]

Just don't allow people to play on their own set-ups and play the top 16 or so on trusted set-ups.

"modifying game files on his setup"
Monika?

[ThaRixer]

What did the player exactly buff and with what character?

[JayramK]

tl; dw
People can cheat in melee in a lot of ways.
But Dan got us covered.

Love that you look into solving these problems and making them public even if "hacked melee" in a bad light isn't good for you. Thanks and I hope you can put an end to cheaters!

[HellLord]

So basically he got banned for making melee balanced

[DrewMcDaniel]

I think the simplest way to avoid this is to have players play on other peoples setups. TOs can keep track of who brought what and assign matches to specific setups.

[Kansascityzoooo]

This is infuriating. I can't believe we didn't get to see the end of the match.

[deddrz]

2:20 TO's can load a trusted mod, such as MINE onto all tournament setups...

[spnda]

I like how the whole video is basically Dan Salvato saying, "Use my mod and support me, there's no other way to solve this problem!"

[anthonyporcelli]

Can somebody tell me which tournament this happened in?

[its_ABS]

really great video Dan, thought provoking and information filled as always.
Also; to peeps who are wondering who won, given Dan is one of the best Links in the US in both PM and Melee i think its safe to assume he took that stock

[mathunit]

I'm here from Zero's video, and very surprised that you're the Doki Doki creator. Great work man. :)

[Kurisu]

Man i wish you could have shown to us the entire gameplay, who won? link or marth?
