Despite popular belief, game developers usually aren't good at their own game. He probably didn't use any unfair advantages to get to the no. 1 spot. So I guess when you beat him you can go ahead and say that you beat him 'at his own game' :)

Impossible. The way the math works to calculate scores, it will never happen. Edmund has about 50+ levels completed above everyone else. That's roughly 50 million points higher than anyone can achieve with ALL 0.00 times in every level. |

Consider that he's been playing this game since it was still a beta. He also designed a vast majority of the stages in the game; including Cotton Alley, The Kid's warpzone, the Expert Remix chapter, and more to come. Of course the man's good at the game.

I don't remember where it is, but in an interview he did say that during testing he beat every level before it was added, just to make sure it was beatable.

Are you sure it's him and not a hacking impersonator? Even then, there's actually about 365 levels when you break it down properly by including bosses, warps and minus levels, so maybe it's just a relic of his score before they altered the way levels count and he hasn't got around to resetting it.

Umm what? 250 levels (40 in 6 chapters and 10 in 1 chapter), 7 bosses, 6 glitches, 60 warp levels (4 warps in 5 chapters, 3 levels per). Grand Total: 323 if you include bosses and glitches. An additional 13 levels if you include stuff not normally included is not nearly enough to verify your hypothesis. Editing this in... forgot both versions of the Dr Fetus fight have 2 stages. Even then an additional 15 levels not counted is NOT 365 by any stretch. |

His steam name is Souldescen.
So if it doesn't read that name, it's not him.

Even then an additional 15 levels not counted is NOT 365 by any stretch. 250 levels + 9 bosses (The End bosses are 2-part each) + 6 glitches + 60 warps = 325... BUT... There was an additional 40 Teh Internet levels on 360 by the time of the PC launch which takes it up to 365 (now another 40, which takes it up to 405) My logic was they could have originally included those levels in the final total for PC while playtesting. ...anyway, this is dodging the obvious that just because the tag says Edmund McMillan, that it actually is him. You'd have to be pretty dense to jump to that conclusion. More than likely it's just a hacker looking for attention, seeing as many people on the 360 have hacked the leaderboards to show 360 levels, so it's probably a similar exploit on the PC. The fact the TC has only 2 posts to me implies he's the person who posted the fake entry and has come here to troll for attention over it. |

My opinion is that Edmund have 360 levels because he already beaten the levels that he added in Super Meat World.
You know, Cramps and Expert.

Considering he's had that score since well before then? By that logic, the 40 levels that are hidden in game and on teh internets would be the suspect, not newer content. |

Out of curiosity, I took a look at Edmund's profile (Possibly the Hacker?), and found his Super Meat Boy Achievements: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197971883366/stats/SuperMeatBoy/?tab=achievementsI found it funny that, for Iron Boy achievements, he has Wood Boy, Squirrel Boy, and Demon Boy. |
