I wont name any name, but the wiki has an interesting self-proclamation on it, namely someone calls themself the most powerful player. Then I watch a youtube vid of his, where he actually took damage in the Unknown passage first fight and almost died in the second. Sorry bud, youre not the most powerful.

I think you're allowed if it

I think you're allowed if it doesn't violate the naming policy.

Hahaha i dont mean literally

Hahaha i dont mean literally are you allowed, I mean SHOULD you be allowed ethically? My main point is that there is ALWAYS someone better at some aspect of the game then you, in fact, there are always MANY people better than you at some aspect, so NO one is the best knight, or the most powerful fighter even.

Yeah, Magnus isn't that

Yeah, Magnus isn't that great, he just has an enormous ego, LUL!

The only reason anybody even knows about him is because he was the first player to record vanaduke fights and upload them to youtube, sadly he has never uploaded one where he wasn't in full vog or using exploits (LOL).

Many players in knightmare, me included, have accomplished much greater feats than Magnus (self proclaimed best player in the game)
You just need to add the right people and you will have a good time in spiral, try to ignore trolls like magnus

Have a good day sir :)

Propoganda for what? It is

Propoganda for what? It is obviously interesting to try to validate such a claim... I didnt "fall" for anything, as I suspected from the get go he wasnt the most powerful. If youre trying to trap me or something, not gonna work lol.

I like the part of the

I like the part of the article where it brags about he being "one of the first two players to have a complete Snarbolax armor set" after he made a speech about how Shadow Keys were the evilest evil reuniting more than a hundred people. And we are still waiting to know how the other new dungeons are.

I was one of the people there, yep. And I am just a 4-5 star f2p Joe who still hasn't beaten Vanaduke : P (I am now beginning to post in the Spanish forums, to see if there is some life there).

If you call yourself the most powerful or best player, you're an idiot. That's all I'll say here.

Yes, it's already been

Yes, it's already been established that Spiral Knights, a game that really does not require you to be very skilled to be successful, has several delusional braggarts who seem to think they have lots of fans and are "the best" at an easy game.

"Many players in knightmare, me included, have accomplished much greater feats than Magnus (self proclaimed best player in the game)"
The above quote was posted by one of the delusional braggarts, in an attempt to make him and his guild look good while trying to make someone else look bad. Typical troll power play.

I find it funny that people

I find it funny that people question Magnus' (or anyone, if they aren't claiming that video in particular to be an "aced" run) "claim" of skill, just because the videos aren't perfect.

Dude, it's a gameplay channel. We honestly don't care enough to show off much anymore. Claiming to be "the best player" is also, quite obviously, sort of a joke. If you have ever talked to him in-game about this, and still honestly believe he's dead serious, you shoulda get to know your internets better.

...but I admit his wikipage is a mess of ego

Why even post it if it wasnt an aced run?
Plus his claims mention that they spawn from his youtube channel anyways...

I dont claim he is not skilled, or even OF the best, but I personally know 4 players who I guarantee outclass him in every way.

...because it's just gameplay? We record it for fun, and sometimes simply because either the channel or Youtube entirely lacks gameplay footage on specific levels. Not to show off as ungodly badasses or challenge whoever.

And if you haven't actually played with a person in-game, you can't really 'guarantee' they're more or less skillful than you or others. Those are just assumptions, even more if you're basing it on videos.

There's a place for perfect

There's a place for perfect runs, and there's a place for just regular gameplay on youtube. Hell, I've got two separate failed RJ runs on my channel already, and depending on my luck next time down it might make three!

It doesn't make me a terrible player, though.

Because it was the second time the content was successfully completed ever.

Lol

Anyone else find it hilarious that Chris is saying Magnus has a great ego?

Also, if you self-proclaim as best player, that automatically makes you a douche independently of how good you are at the game.

You have a right to call yourself the most powerful player when the Devs code monsters to run away from you in fear.
