The Holy Grail Of Super Mario 64 Has Been Found 

Nice

Yup

Love your content, thank you as always

should i?

This man has the patience of a Saint, even for Milly Bitchell

Good catch! I hadn't noticed it. I went back to check it and now I am laughing out loud too!

​@@CrazyEyes00he's a famous cheater that faked records

@@CrazyEyes00 Karl is being sued by Billy Mitchell

plot twist: thats the actual billy mitchell who subscribed to the patreon to see all of his posts there for the lawsuit

looool that's too good

😂😂😂

😍😍😍 Billie -eyelash- Mitchell 😍😍😍🫦🫦🫦 the KING of KONG 😍😍😍 my heart will suffer a stoke if he doesn't fulfil my lust for him by issuing me a defamation lawsuit daddy 😍😍😍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

He did it carpetless after he got the idea from his friend todd rogers to start mario in second gear.

I think there's a VHS of it in a box in the video game hall of fame..

Now, you may be thinking to yourself "but SM64 wasn't released until 1996". You just don't understand the GENIUS of the King of Kong!

Lmao

i wonder if billy would make a guest appearance... yknow i wonder if theres a timeline where hes a world-class TASer...

​@@dirtysnakeeyes4346i bet in all alternates hes still a dbag that transcends space-time.

It has been implemented in TAS for many years, although that's not really cheating (unless you pull a Badabun and tell everyone your obviously TAS'd run is RTA).

And day now 😆

Thanks for your contribution. Really cool to see stuff like this fall into place after so much effort went into the solution.

Grats man, none of this would have been possible without you!

@@tgsgresh11 none of it? that's an overstatement if i've ever heard one. he got lucky enough in life to be included in that history.... well, the name he chose for the internet is included. 40 years from now, we're not going to see a documentary about this guy and his unfathomable contribution which paved the way for something which nobody else could have done. that is until you see the army of speed runners and programming wizards figuring out all of the information and compiling it together until one of the participants achieved the expectation through collective knowledge. like everything your sentiment is nice. but holy shit, is it dumb! hyperbole should be avoided when sincerity is your goal. praise him for his achievement in your eyes, don't just spout shit that sounds nice when it's just not true. i know that we know you mean well, but it's outlandish and poorly thought. sometimes you just need to be quiet. kind of how most people would react to what i've just typed out, thinking i should just be quiet. they're right, but i can't let someone NOT know they're letting themselves down by being absent minded with their actual intentions. say the nice things you feel, don't make silly statements the rest of us have to lie to you about and pretend it's true. it's not. he's one face who among many faces, were attempting these feats. he's a modern day (digital) version of an olympian. many many trials and failures with 3 giants atop the mountain... technically, he would be nothing if not for the armies of speed runners before him. i hope you get the point. stop watching business people on tv, they say shit like that to make idiots feel special. you actually want this guy to feel special so just say it. don't cover it up in nonsense because it sounds cool. otherwise people just tune out. this goes for all of us. we're only where we are because of the masses before us. to claim anything to belong to any one person, is ludicrous. WE did it. the runners, the viewers, the tireless volunteers and examiners of data and footage to clarify and document the discoveries and possibilities. ignoring the rest because 1 person put a bunch of it together is highly disrespectful. most of what we can and have done as humans, is often given a name but as the understanding improves, so does the name/designation of the thing because it's a collective effort. i think i've let slip the facade that this statement doesn't bother me.

didnt read but thanks@@swanclipper

​@@swanclipperI've never seen someone say so much and mean so little.

what is real these days huh?

It will be really interesting to see what other repeatable strats emerge from this brute force approach. 1.36 seemed outrageous only 2 years ago, 1.35 proposterous, the stuff of fantasy. I wonder now whether sub 90 minutes might one day be seen.

Carpets are barriers, right? Barrier skip is real!

@@campbaron i feel sub 90 might be doable but that might be close to TAS as a human can get

@@campbaron with the community still growing 2+ decades later, I'm sure it will happen eventually. It's just a matter of "time" 🙂

Even better, it doesn't do it with any kind of intelligence, so the vast majority of those marios just mashed their face in a wall or lept to their doom.

And in result of this shift, it brings back more life to SM64 .Thats cool!

He is but a single Mario in an endless Mariocean

This is fucking insane to think about.

⁠@@TlalocTemporal that’s not necessarily true. It’s most likely either a swarm optimization algorithm or a genetic algorithm, which means that the majority follows paths known to be slightly successful

Thats not what the big break was. The method is completely new.

Oh for sure, I was smiling when I saw that he got the WR. I used to watch him streams back in 2015(?) when he was the undisputed champion of 120 star. Seeing him get the world record using the new carpetless strategy was a pleasant throwback to the past.

He's an old geezer, now.

​@@chillstorm2341he can't even feel happiness

I'm hoping someone like Bismuth does a technical deep dive on it at some point.

I watched a vid by Simply about a month ago where he covered the strat.

​@karljobst yea that would be really cool:) It's an interesting story, sparked by someone who hacked their game

@@karljobst I've been procrastinating on doing just that for over a year by now, explaining these (and all other) glitchy wallkicks in SM64 that is. I'm no Bismuth though so it would hardly have a chance to be as comprehensive, even if I can confidently state that Bismuth's explanation referenced in this video is actually wrong for the glitchy wallkick he is explaining in that instance, and that that expanation would not really be sufficient at all to explain either of the glitchy wallkicks that are now (amazingly) actually being used for carpetless. I wouldn't blame either of you for missing some details there though - Glitchy wallkicks are deceptively complicated, and I even stated myself that the second one used in this strategy should be impossible, only to be proven wrong and then implement it in context for the first time.

Yeah that really seems more like bismuths speed.

Even speed running has entered the age of A.I. and these tools will find much more incredibly ingenius time saves in the future. Also such time saves that can be pulled off by humans.

@@JackoBanon1Wouldn't classify sheer bruteforce as AI though. It's a thing for years btw. Some ABC strats were found by brute forcing.

@@Gramini You realize AI learning is literally brute-forcing, right?

@@JackoBanon1 Idk, Deep Blue of speedrun routing I guess.

@@i_am_ergoYes, but only to a degree. IIRC the tools used for SM64 are stateless, without a neural network, reinforcement or something, meaning there is no learning part.

Things are only impossible until they aren't

I mean, that's basically been the entire story of SMB1 WRs for a couple years now.

"Its too hard for humans to do anyway" *Some asian a week later* "How bout I do anyway"

That’s why I said back in 2016-2017ish that carpetless would be required for world records. It’s too much of a time save.

They're not "doing it anyway" cause it's not the same route. Someone found a setup that made the strategy not "too difficult" anymore.

Goku would beat them

​@@TheRealGod_777I'll wait and see if Goku can get a sub 5 in oot

Speedruns are absolute crap if it's a TAS. I would consider that to be cheating.

@@scorpionwins6378 well yes, if someone submits a TAS as a speedrun then it's cheating, most TASes are done as a showcase of what a run would be like at absolute perfection, human limits be damned

@@scorpionwins6378 Dude a Tool Assisted Speedrun isn't a legitimate speedrun. Nobody argues about that.

The machine was made to do the tedious menial labor part, so that's consistent with history. Compare to the Cotton Gin automating the process of separating cotton seeds from cotton fibers, making it do loads and loads of grueling and painstaking labor, and in far less time, so that people could do other things. What the Scattershot did here was run through cycles until it found some viable theoreticals, but even after that, it took a LOT of VERY talented people a lot of time and experimenting to figure out how to achieve it in reality.

@@0neDoomedSpaceMarine so basically you're saying that the consequences of the industrial revolution have been a disaster for the human race

@@bandannadoo No, I'm not an autistic sped who thinks he's making a point by blowing up a few cops and mailmen. Separating cotton seeds from cotton fibers is tedious and time consuming bullshit to do, the invention of the cotton gin means that was one less obnoxious job for people to have to do, meaning they can work a less shitty job and/or have more free time. On the flip side, someone will always need to maintain a machine, so that'll always be a job. All maintenance will need supplying too, they'll need lubricants, cleaning agents, replacement parts, special tools probably, as well as an education in how to do their job, and that supplying needs its own supplying and its own maintenance. There'll always be paying jobs for people to do, one way or another, and Artificial Intelligence is actually remarkably stupid and uncreative. AI essentially needs us at all times, it has no gut instinct or sense of judgment, you know, those things which brought us humans all the way at the top of the foodchain over millions of years, and the kind of pattern recognition which machines can engage in is hopelessly primitive next to an evolved biological brain. Fundamentally, many animals, both out in nature and domesticated ones, have a substantial intellectual advantage over AI just by the virtue of that animal's own gut instinct and pattern recognition.

@@0neDoomedSpaceMarine I like humans and ted

@@mansendwish I like humans too, which is why I like machines which let humans do more work for less time and energy, or machines and tools which would let people do previously impossible or dangerous jobs with safety. Also machines which exist purely for recreation, for that matter. Disconnect your internet and go and live in a tent in the woods if you hate civilization so much.

Parsee deserves mention for sure.

I agree

i agree 100%! i love how thoroughly karl explains everything. you can tell he puts a lot of effort into his videos.

His voice is good to go to sleep to. Him and epicnate are who i use to go to bed.

I thought you said karl was a bacon, and tbh somehow karl being a bacon makes sense.

@shripperquats5872 is a beacon of formal youtube commenting and I love every comment that he makes

hey blindfold guy

You're a legend

Those are game forums. They already exist! 😁

He's also hot with blue hair

Timestamp please

"If you own a rug you own too much"

Consistently cant wait and immediately stoked.

No less impressive, but an important distinction is that the human brain is capable of abstraction, whereas Scattershot is not.

mario 64 and a lot of n64 games aged poorly but the analyses are fun to watch

Mario 64 did not age poorly. People who say that typically have awful taste in games.@@LavaCreeperPeople

@@theremix54No such thing as bad taste in games since it’s entirely subjective, some people just don’t like old janky controls.

​@@theremix54lmao someone got triggered 😂

​​@@laineyw7257It's actually not though, When you play the rom hacks it makes you dive into the core of the mechanic's to the game, it's not janky I can control Mario extremley well actually. I can Control Mario in Sm64 better than any modern game that will ever come out...with Sm64 it is a skill issue like I said when you play the Rom hacks some of the levels force you to be good and really learn the physic's of the game I'll never know Carpetless cause this is legendary status but still this game is actually really good control wise you just need to have patience.

L is real!

This has nothing to do with AI. It is an impressive piece of software tho.

Scattershot is purely brute force. There's no intelligent part, thus this is no artificial intelligence. And let's be real, let's not put great speedrunning software next to mostly gimmicks that companies put in their earnings to boost their stocks (not joking).

I saw someone who was inspired by scattershot and decided to mess around with a similar thing for minecraft, though they haven't done anything major with it. But there's no reason it wouldn't be, it just takes a lot of work and clearly krithalith likes SM64.
