SPOILERS: It has come to our attention that we skipped over a little bit of history in 2018/19. While we attributed it to mostly Iwabi and Aloakirby, Linkus was the first person to go for UMSS in runs. Linkus worked hard to implement it into the route, and we didn't happen to notice until after the video was put out. Just wanted to give credit where it was due.

@bowserisbored6698 3 года назад

Linkus in his WR runs did partial UMSS and still buffered a bit at the end. However, he has gotten fully unbuffered MSS before. If you are interested to learn more about the history of SS, which includes UMSS, I recommend watching this video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-o32bxtKtXxM.html After Linkus moved on from wind waker sd, Aloa and Iwabi both were able to get fully unbuffered MSS in WR. To compare, Linkus got a very respectable wind waker time of 8:24 in his 1:00:50 run, but Iwabi with fully unbuffered MSS got a 7:50 wind waker in his 53:08. Overall, Linkus definitely helped pioneer this trick and I agree that partial unbuffered probably should have been included in the video (I had assumed it just got cut for time). It is also true that Aloa and Iwabi took it to the next level with their consistency being able to get the trick fully unbuffered in many runs and attempted runs. Hopefully this helps explain how UMSS started in any%

I cannot tell you how surreal it is to see my tribute video for Gym included in a speedrunning history documentary. I regret to say I wasn’t aware of this channel before that fact was brought to my attention, but I’m very glad I know about it now. This video is so incredibly well put together. I really needed to smile as deeply as you just made me smile. Thank you for this ridiculous honor. In the years since releasing that tribute video, I’ve cringed so hard whenever I remember its existence; how goofy and raw it was. This is the first moment since that initial euphoria that I finally realized why I was wrong to regret it. You may not be surprised to know that if I don’t stop now, I’d gush about my gratitude forever. Or maybe I’ll make a tribute video for THIS event? All the best.

Found your channel when the Jak and Daxter series you did was recommended to me. I've taken the time to watch all your other videos that y'all made an loved everyone of them. I was always a fan of speed runs but this channel has given me a new love of multiple speed runs. Started watching twitch back in I believe was 2016? Love of speed runs for me started with ZFG and his 100% runs of The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. I know it would be a massive undertaking, but would love to see you do/cover the history of the 100% speed run of Ocarina of Time. Then even some of their other categories have a long history to them as well even if you choose not to take on the monster that is 100%. Best of luck an keep up the great work!

This is a wonderful compilation of the speedrun history from this game. I was one of the many runners inspired by Demoon and Narcissa in late 2012 early 2013. My goal was to get sub 4:40, and it was some of the most fun I've had playing games on a live stream! I remember the great support from people like Cryze, Ace, Crazyy, Koljai7... Even though I wasn't a popular streamer, they'd still hang out and chat all the time. I do wanna point out one tiny error, at 1:24:15 you speak the wrong time. The screen shows the 56 : 38 in July and you read 57 : 19 in April. Just a small thing! Thank you for putting in an unbelievable amount of work into this production. The fruit of your labor is well worth it!

@SSF_Jaxas 3 года назад

Yo! I think it'd be really helpful to see a "previous record(/PB)" on screen at the same time as the new-time popup; it's easy to get lost in the numbers and miss how big of a change the new time is, especially with the amount of numbers thrown at the viewer over the course of an hour and a half lol Probably just a greyed-out bit at the top of the thing that slides in from the bottom left? Anyways, keep up the good work!

@azer67 3 года назад

I know about this story. TSA spliced in the middle of a segment, which is not allowed in this sort of segmented runs. The splice was proved because the cursor in the pause menu was in the wrong place in several pauses, which means the runner had saved and quit and added a splice during a loading zone. The rules behind these segmented runs is that you need to separate your segments by saving and quitting the game. Any other start or end point to a segment is not allowed. This was old SDA rules and was the main way to speedrun games, much more common than the real time attack runs from today.

I have a question regarding the wax strat, I know the neutral control point for the controller changes when the power turns on, but from my experience playing gc games, if you disconnect the gc controller, hold down a direction, and replug it back in during gameplay, wouldn't it also change the neutral spawn point? Wouldn't that be useful?

@SpeedDocs 3 года назад

Yes, it's the same concept. We didnt want to spend too much time on it to explain every method. Theres also a button combo you can hold on the controller to reset the position without unplugging it
