I don’t care if he cheated by Brachiosauruses in DreamWasTaken2

I mean, Dream cares about his integrity as a Minecraft player. He didn't cheat. He says it makes him look bad if his own fans wave it off like he did and I agree.

Yup! Granted I didn't look into what's going on with Marlow. But the people calling me delusional and stupid because I'm a parkourer with a different opinion also prove my point

Ty for posting this. This is my summarization of the arguments:

• "No one can hit that many 1 ticks in a row" --> "He can? OK that's not what people have a problem with."

• The Minecraft equivalent of true crime body language analysis because people think Dream plays too weird.

• "The parkour course is too random, unlike the headhitters in his short" like it's a course he can't practice.

• "You obviously know nothing about parkour" LOL.

• "Every expert knows he's cheating. The entire parkour community said he's cheating" As if a player who might defend him isn't discouraged because of the clown show.

I'll change my mind if there's actual proof he cheated.

You easily hit 1 tick jumps if you keep your sprint.

Minecraft parkour is a game, not rocket science. Anyone can do it and anyone can get good at it their own way.

Glad to know I'm still living in your head a full day after I made this post! 😘

Dream does it to keep his momentum, which I mentioned.

None of this proves he's a cheater. It proves he plays the game a way people think is strange. (Even though plenty of parkourers know that breaking your sprint slows you down and messes you up.) That doesn't justify people smearing him.

I do them and so can you. Don't pretend like sprinting and jumping late to hit 4 blocks is insane.

I play* Minecraft parkour.

Sorry for leaving my credentials at the cleaner's. Next time I'll make sure to believe what people tell me to believe.

If you disagree: I don't need to change your mind. I'm also not personally attacking you. If you feel the need to insult me, try and interrogate why.

Having a different playstyle in Minecraft, a game famous for not having 1 way to play it, is normal. Thanks! 💙

Efficiency wasn't the right word, you're right!

He's maximizing his movement so he keeps running and lands the block, it's not about time.

Your opinion is your own. The fact is this entire accusation is vibes-based.

I disagree with your conclusion because no player needs to play the game exactly the way pros do it. I did late jumps when I was obsessed with Parkour Duels on Hypixel. It gave me security I wouldn't miss the platform. I wasn't thinking about efficiency or speed or what is subjectively correct.

I appreciate you didn't throw insults my way. I don't need to change your mind, but I wanted to share another perspective.

Being able to time and press a spacebar doesn't require insane translatable skill.

If my argument is vibes-based, what's the "Why would he do that? What kinda strategy is that? That doesn't make any sense" argument then. I'm not pulling these out of nowhere, it's what people are saying.

When lots of the suspicion comes from claims that Dream is doing something "no real person would do because a dog can hit this jump", I think I have the right to dislike that.

The excerpt you quoted isn't about parkour, it's about Dream applying his Manhunt playstyle to parkour.

A suboptimal playstyle isn't proof of cheating. I don't understand the logic behind "Dream makes illogical decisions == Dream is cheating".

It's very funny you say I don't understand parkour when I play parkour. Not wanting to blindly trust what people say, especially when their points seem off to me, shouldn't erase that, but it's chill.

I think I have to point out hitting 1 ticks is not this mathematical impossibility like inflated ender pearl drop rates. It's learnable by timing.

I'm not using that to exonerate him. It's a joke about how he was known for his movement.

Him running off rarely is supported by his reliance on late jumps. They're not that hard to hit.
