i have never speed ran. never had a Nintendo 64. never even played Mario, not even odyssey. but somethin about how cheese has these streams makes me wanna change all of that
As someone who has been dealing with sleep deprivation for years, I could just feel your tiredness throughout the whole run. There's even moments where you almost doze off into microsleeps. Still crazy how you managed to pull it off.
I feel like that's the only way you can get through a run this massive. You can't be in a state of total active focus for an hour and a half. It'll fry your brain. Like if they did a race that took almost 2 hours of all new levels where they could rely on muscle memory? I guarantee a half hour in most of them would be totally frazzled. To put it another way, amateurs practice until they get it right. Professionals practice until they can't get it wrong.
The Life of Cheese: - go to live event - don't get enough sleep because performance nerves - show up half-dead - get the new verified world record - finally get some sleep - go back and re-watch - realize how much of your "world record run" is hot garbage
The fact that you constantly beat the record after someone takes it from you is just unbelievable, and now that you're showing you even can do it on a live event is just so much better, with the bounty and prize pool in mind. Hats off to you cheese, you very well deserve it.
Dude id replace my ENTIRE setup including desk, PC, cap card, monitor with CRT nerves, and shit like that Also have you wondered if cheese actually uses the l button to split
honestly i really appreciate the commentary, as i have a lot of trouble watching speedruns where it's quiet the whole time especially if i'm new to the speedrun
Probably my favorite speedrun event to watch. The one change I'd like to see in future events is to have a boom mic capturing audio for all the runners, and have that audio on the second stream rather than duplicate of the commentator audio, sort of like how SpaceX has mission control audio on a separate stream so you can swap between commentators and mission control. As a viewer we didn't get any of that banter going on between the runners the whole time.
Nah, check out @14:05 until 17:30 - they were almost constantly chatting and stuff, but we didn't hear any of it. Also, it'd be on the second stream, still the commentator audio on the main stream.
01:13:02 "Nintendo 64's are pretty durable" I can confirm that big time. We had one in a basement room which has been flooded once during a heavy storm. The console was completely covered by water. We let it dry out (upside down). It still works today. Try that with a playstation... :D
Simon Tschopp they don’t make them like they used to. Have a 26 yr old sega mega drive which I used as recently as a couple of weeks ago...my ps2 certainly didn’t last as long 😂
Man, props to you, Cheese, and I really REALLY commend you for stating every aspect of how BTR Live made this possible. Not only the effort they put into making it possible for all of the runners to be there, having traveling expenses taken care of, but for coaching by flag noting your personal areas of potential progression, and certainly the technological advances for speedrunning competitions in giving accurate stats and details on splits, best possibles, cuts, etc. Also, the fact that they made sure you guys were comfortable, playing together and on a setup that was of higher tech than what speedrunners are currently accustomed to playing on at home. You sang their proper praise here in your explanation early in this recap and that is awesome and humbling. Great job to everyone that had a hand in on making this possible. I hope these events continue to happen and they never shy away from expanding their reach and improving the experience to be had from everyone attending from staff to runner to spectator. Just truly incredible. Gaming is in a beautiful place and the only direction to go from here is up. Thanks for the hard work put into making these videos. Looking forward to the future of records to come! Keep it up!!
Honestly your talk about mentality was really good. I was able to reflect that into sports that im competing because i have a really bad mentallity and throw the towl way to early. Thanks Man keep up the work !
this is my first time watching a 120 star speedrun. some of those strats are amazing. I'm just 25 min in and totally blown away. he was just racing koopa and in the time it took koopa to actually reach the goal he went there twice and activated the red cannon in between.
Sometimes getting put out of your comfort zone can do alot of good. It can reset your brain and revert you to your basic instincts. You may have grown complacent. Good for you bro!
You setting this live record actually made me watch a 120 star run for the first time in like a decade and I enjoyed the hell out of it, especially with your commentary! Subscribed, good work!
This was my first time watching a speed run , and I got to witness it live. It was nostalgic and amazing ! Once I started understanding what was going on and that you was breaking a record live, the excitement became surreal. It was an amazing experience just watching it, so I can’t imagine how you felt completing it. Congratulations!
I started to tear up dude. Cheese just pulls off the impossible everytime and for a moment in time everything is just so blessed. What cute piece of burro, you deserve it!
@Cheese Apparently you had a WR of a few seconds less than this, but without video evidence. Now that this is considered the new WR, it's almost as if the previous one were never valid. Strange 🤔. Anyway, congrats, that's a crazy achievement for a live event. Now to do it all again at GDQ
Around 5:55 Cheese says his current goal is to get his time in the mid 1.30.xx's. He smashed that a few hours ago so I wonder what his new goal is gonna be?
The fact you actually pulled that off at the event is insane! I felt so happy for you. Was part of the hard grind and I know how hard you worked for it, congrats.
Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum offiziellen Rekord❤️😍. Du hast es echt verdient!! Hab am Ende richtig mit gefiebert und hatte sogar ne Freudenträne im Auge. Greetings from Germany ✌🏻
You mother fudging got damnin legend, you!!! Omg!! You’re so amazing man. Keep up the awesome work! Again, you’re a *F’N GOT DOGGIN LEGEND!!!!* We love you!! 🏳️🌈🦸🏻♂️💕🥰
Congrats on the WR! During a Live event too! Thats crazy! I once did a competitive race in NFS at a indoor car show back in 2007. 1st prize was a brand new 60gb ps3 plus 10 games free of choice, a total of 1250 euros in prize money. At home i only played with a controller, so i was only used to controllers. During the event i had to use a steering wheel in a play seat with a crowd and friends around me AND all the noise from the car show itself. I was super stressed and nervous, i tried to focus, but still made some mistakes. My rival was right next to me, i knew he was super close the whole time but he made a big mistake in the end though and i won! I never felt so relieved before when it was over!
Serious question: Why do the BLJs at the start of the run if you have to get all 120 stars anyways? Surely the door opening animation is still faster than doing the BLJ setup to clip through the door.
It took me this long, ever since this video uploaded to figure out why cheese kept saying "I'm going to lose $10,000" instead of $12,500. At first I thought he rounded that down but that's still a $2,500 difference which is huge. Then just now, I realized if he did miss out on the WR, he still would've had the $2,500 first prize guaranteed from the event itself. I can't believe it took me this long to realize that....
I’m incredibly late to the party, but the commentary on this video is almost as clutch as getting a world record live. I saw cheese05 originally at GDQ, been a fan ever since
I never followed speedrunning at all. I enjoy watching sm64 videos though. But even I tuned in to watch this event. And I STILL think that you breaking the record live, after the unverified issued especially, was the single most amazing thing to ever happen in speedrunning history. Idk if anything else could match that moment.
Watched the whole thing without realizing it hahaha. Fucking great stuff. Kind of wasn't sure about the commentary at first. Bc i don't usually like watching stuff with commentary. Especially almost two hours. But you did freaking awesome and made the video better. Great great great job man!
I swear Helen Keller is the person who writes out the English captions ... hire me RU-vid and I’ll give you quality work, not this garbage. Thanks for the speed runs 👍
A word of advice: Skip the RetroTINK and get an RGB modded N64 directly into an OSSC. You can afford it with your prize money. I just got the same setup before that event, and the RetroTINK is great if you can't afford RGB mods (or they don't exist for your console)
First time watching this guy speedrun and that was seriously impressive. Can't imagine how hard that must be to pull off at a live event, what a legend.
I agree with what u said about playing better when ur tired even when I play rainbow 6 tired as fuck I just play better because muscle memory just kicks in and you are way less likely to over think things while playing
Thank you for the WR verification, I watched it multiple times trying to figure out how you did this..... So happy and proud of your achievements, keep up the good work Cheese!
CRT vs Monitor is literally nothing, a 5ms to 1ms monitor is way too fast for a human to notice, no one can tell the difference, human reaction time is about 200ms to 250ms
it wasnt him that compleeted the run, he wasn't even at his own body. his determination and the coffee both pushed his joysticks foward, an then that happened.
