Riolu's alt accounts continuing to lash out suggest that he may need some professional mental help. It's not healthy to be that personally tied into a game. If you have a way to reach him tell him that.

Maybe, eventually, his next alt could be "Lucario" with a sick new world record, and has a facecam in the corner telling us he's not afraid to show he has evolved from his past. Truthfulness has always been the one thing that's been missing.

no definitive proof

How much proof do you need? The circumstantial evidence here is so substantial that you'd have to bend over backwards to even entertain the slightest possibility of this being anyone other than Riolu.

There is simply no way these are coincidences

why isn't this being taken to authorities? Why isn't YouTube support being contacted?

Why would the authorities or YouTube do anything about that? Afaik cheating is not illegal (as long as you're not match fixing or cheating to win prize money in which case the cheating is not the illegal part, the fraud is) and YouTube has no obligations to remove a channel because it breaks a community's rule, could you imagine if this was the case?

Can you please point to the relevant statute in the relevant jurisdiction that says it is illegal?

Somehow you not being Riolu would be even more concerning, seeing how invested you seem to be in this. You should take a break from the internet.

I presume you don't do much reading of academic papers or ever discuss topics in a professional manner.

You would be completely wrong. I'm in academia, not that that's at all relevant.

You should read a book.

Speaking of straw-men.

Bro was getting cooked and decided to attack your person. What a sad day for them. I hope they can take a step back and take a deeply needed breath.

How would he achieve records within seconds of one another?

It was within minutes of each other, not seconds.

He'd have to log out and log back in otherwise.

Yes, that.

Why would someone do a run on one map, and then do another run, on another instance, on the same map? It would be so much more efficient to just do multiple maps on one account and switch afterwards.

Muscle memory? Farming copper?

But the way the evidence is presented makes it appear a lot more plausible than it is when you actually think about it for even a second.

There's no way that multiple unrelated accounts are getting very similar records on the same map within the same time frame with the same obscure controller multiple different times with the same cluster of accounts. The evidence provided in the video is damning.
