@notnath14 8 месяцев назад

@@Widembois for some games that are super optimized, or shorter, yeah 15 minutes is a lot. For a game as old as Mario 3, especially on such a long game where RNG also affects runs, it's pretty insane for the first run to only be cut down by that much over almost 2 decades.

@Kylora2112 8 месяцев назад

For most games that long, 15 minutes is HUGE. The Mega Man 2 WR is a half hour and roughly 4 minutes have been shaved (from 30 to 26 minutes) off from the earliest recorded runs (outside of zips, Mega Man 2 was already pretty optimized early on). So shaving 15 minutes off an hour long game is more than double the Mega Man 2 progression (but Mario 3 100% has an ass-ton of RNG and a ton of crazy glitches/tricks that save minutes).

My favorite run was towards the end when he had to get the hammer suit after losing a fire flower. I don't think I've *ever* seen a speedrun with the hammer suit before. Even as a kid, the hammer suit was so rare that I saved it and almost never actually wore it, so this was the first time I'd seen all the animations for it. The fact that the run had to be improvised so much and still got a world record is nothing short of amazing and the unique suit really set it apart for me.

Well it depends how you see it. I see 15 minutes as a really long time even for a warpless record. Also when watching his record you can see how bad it was in terms of mistakes,dying, and how many times he had to slow down. It was obviously good for that time period though, and it was the world record so of course he gets a lot of credit. I just see it as very very far off from the current record.

And he didn't even change his style all that much either. 3- Maybe kid me didn't suck as much as I thought for struggling a lot with 8-1 and 8-2 as I was trying to beat the game casually for the first time...

Speedrunners are tremendously open to help and donate their time to someone making good content about what they do. It probably stems from the whole process being so dependent on tight knit communities.

Look up the word "notorious" it doesn't have positive connotations. Maybe you meant "has enough notoriety" but you essentially said the man is infamous.

The fact that just a handful of stages are shown repeatedly during these speedruns means that the other stages in the game were relatively straightforward and easy for those guys to execute without error. And that by itself is mind-blowing!

Kirua is definitely a kind of person to tell you to never lose hope after one mistake. Keep going, because one error doesn't always make a dead run. And sometimes, you can always come back from your mistakes. Never give up.

God, that graph at the end. It really goes to show you the different eras of the run - the early days, massive leaps in uncharted territory culminating in Mitch bringing the record down by more than anyone had before or will again, into Kilua's solo arc grinding the corners off the run until that final fierce blood-in-the-water battle with Mitch keeping his head high even with everyone on his tail. Amazing stuff. Mythical.

The amount of glitches in this game is crazy when you consider how well it is made. The average user is going to have a mostly bug free experience playing this, but all it takes is for one player out of millions to experience some obscure glitch and post it to a forum or some TASer pushing the limits of the hardware. Then there’s the runners themselves that find glitches sometimes by chance for simply playing the game a thousand time mores than a dev tester would. IJS, this game is incredibly well made for its time and in my experience as a casual player I have never encountered a glitch in this game, or at least not one that affected the experience so much that I noticed it. Crazy the way they break a game like that.
