A lot of speedrunning catagories have extremely small playerbases, hence why it is very easy to pickup and reach the top of a speedrunning catagory. Compare this to most online multipalyer games such as league, which have in the millions of ranked players and you can see why speedrunning is just a niche activity where the records are easy to beat and pickup, although they are interesting to hear about.

Tbh I’m only an audience member to speedrunning as a whole, but can I just say how brilliant Blue Yourself is as a category? Even if by pure coincidence? It seems like there’s a lot of proposed memeruns that basically boil down to “progress normally (or with standard speedrun strats) until you hit a certain point,” but this? I feel like this is the definition of a good memerun. Something that not only changes your goalpost, but creates space for new insights into the core mechanics of the game, all while still acting as a showcase of incredible skill-honing and precision-complete with a hearty dash of luck! Thanks for sharing this with us, Skilloz!

If I had a nickel for every 40+ minute speedrun video I've seen where the creator surprise revealed themselves to be a record holder, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice Edit: Just checked back here to find 2k likes and a bit of confusion. I was referencing The Hobbit WR video, yes, and I was only talking about videos where the creator actually sets it up like a big reveal that they are the WR holder. Not just videos where they casually mention it. Only the second time I've seen it happen, personally.

@ThoraeJenkins 2 года назад

I don't think it's that strange, the WR holder is most likely going to be someone with a massive investment in either that community, or that specific speedrun, so it makes sense for them to be invested enough to want to share their niche with the world.

@JSoldierPro Год назад

Blue Yourself might be able to come back due to Custom Items in Versus Mode since you can guarantee blue shells from item boxes and it works even in 1st place and even before the 30 second barrier. If this is allowed for Blue Yourself world records, I recommend making a separate category named “Custom Items” as I believe it would be unfair for these times to be in the same category.

@topsecret1837 10 месяцев назад

Kind of debatable since the original category is inhumanely possible to beat. So would you have the record suddenly be possible again or leave it dead?

reading the comments and within watching half the video, i realized that the wr holder is in fact the one making the video (talking abt it in 3rd person), but this is also exactly how i'd imagine summoningsalt making a video on his own speedrun wrs. well written, well narrated, interesting to watch, and no narcissistic flex (just subtle flex; if you showed me this video without telling me who made it, i wouldnt have even known skilloz made it). also, its just amazing to hear the entire story from the Very Start, especially since this is a category that is VERY YOUNG in comparison to many well known speedrun categories. its not just the birth of the speedrun wr holder, its the story of the speedrun itself- something that doesn't really get told with most other speedrun docu-style videos (again, probably because its just so young). really enjoyed the video!

@jeffreyblack666 11 месяцев назад

One thing I think you may have missed in the description of how it works: Does the blue shell, when activated identify who is in first place, lock on to them and go after them. Or, does it fly off, move along the track until it reaches first place, updating as it goes, so right before it actually hits (or starts that part of the animation) it decides who to target? This relates to the idea of frame perfect. If the former, then frame perfect is launching when you are in first place. If the latter, frame perfect is launching before you reach first place, so it targets you just as you go into first place.

@blueyandicy 2 месяца назад

if you throw it at yourself before you reach first place, afaik the blue shell will always target the person who was in first place at the time of throwing.

Eh, you made your own category and then act like any small thing you do to improve time is super crazy. The poll was only voted on by 21 people showing there really isn't anything competitive or significant about this just a small group of people. Also the fact that the first 20 or so minutes are on runs that are on runs that are made within a WEEK of each other so using terminology like "first ever 1:10" holds no meaning when the category is a week old and a dozen people are running it. It makes sense for this to be the case with actual decades old categories eg sm64 with thousands of runners but in this context its just kinda cringe and you look like summoning salt wannabes. **Edit (from reply further down but I know that's too much work):** If they want me to be constructive then here; the video would have been much better had he focused the video on the stats and left the category world records as a side thing. The blue yourself category was quite interesting but the way its presented makes it impossible to take seriously and I couldn't watch past the halfway point because of how dragged on it felt with celebrating the tiniest of increments in strategy, like changing the course or the second run being significantly better, like no surprise. It could have been 20-30 minutes long instead and been far more watchable. Nonetheless I don't care for these runners since they hold themselves in such high regard and the way they have handled someone being negative about their precious little "meme" record doesn't help.

@akhos9876 2 года назад

@@onlypuppy7 If you had payed attention while watching the video, you would have noticed that Blue yourself is a MEME category. The MK8DX speedrunning community isn't that big anyway and most of us don't run category extensions in the first place. Also to us few that actually committed to lowering the BY record, any small improvement was big. Using terminology like "first ever 1:10" is completely fine even if the category is new as even for new categories, a wr is a wr. Skilloz didn't make this video because he wants to be like Summoning Salt. He made it because the category means a lot to him and a few others and because some people might find it interesting. It is completely fine if you don't, just don't go around telling people they're cringe for doing something they enjoy.

@miles2419 Год назад

The coolest thing about speedrunning communities, to me, is that everyone helps each other and shares what they find. I remember years ago, a friend showed me some of their art. It was cool, so I asked how they made it. They told me, with complete seriousness, "Trade secret." (Later on I figured out from seeing similar art that it was some procreate features.) This has stuck with me, and that sort of pompous self righteousness just really pisses me off. It's real nice, in contrast, to see when people come together :)

@fiend-off-the-grid 2 года назад

To bring new life to this category, there should be own leaderboards for each stage.

You could in theory save 1.25 extra seconds, because it takes exactly 2 seconds after getting a box before the shell could get used. But getting to first in 2 seconds is going to involve a lot of random item chaos bringing the people in front of you down.

@corlinfardal9246 2 года назад

If there's any one criticism I have for this incredible video, it's that I wish there was more comparison between the two timing methods. There's a couple times that are given in both methods, but the two methods make the times from later in the video feel disconnected from earlier in the video, and while it's hard to fully accurately give the earlier format, with inconsistent load times and the load possibly not being recorded, it would still be nice to have an estimate for the earlier timing method, or at least linger on the transition between the methods, making it clearer what corresponds to what, so the transition doesn't feel quite as sharp. Otherwise, though, this really is an amazing video, and you deserve all of the praise you've received from the comments and more!

@Skilloz 2 года назад
