In my opinion, I think the reason for this is because the nature of speedrunning makes it one of the best forms of gaming out there; it’s both competition and cooperation, and the communities, while fiercely competitive, are also usually wholesome. That’s just my theory though
dude I found in spain people that loves speedrunning 16 bit fly sims and another community that loves perfect times on densha de go from the switch to the game boy, so yeah you find really interesting and passionate communities
Hope you’re still making content! I don’t mind the wait but I always get worried you won’t come back. Seriously tho you make some of the highest quality content in the genre you do, keep it up man I really hope this channel explodes
i was wondering where i heard the name connor01 from LMAO, this was sick. i thought it was just the youtube algorithm giving me summoning salt related content
Was never a die hard mario fan but had a DS when i was younger and i actually played this Mario probably 20+ times so very excited to watch this video as it will be very nostalgic for me
I had a feeling this category had much more to it than what I already knew, great vid Connor. Also q warp is like the least menacing name for the most menacing trick in the run lol
Awesome editing and writing! I'm not involved in any speedrunning community myself, but I can't get enough of these videos documenting world record histories.
Oh my god how can this be? Yesterday I thought about this channel to be dead and wanted to unsubscribe, but I still wanted to wait and in the next day I see this. I´m really excited to see this video
hey man i know these videos arent extremely popular but please keep them up because they are extremely entertaining. maybe you could do one on breath of the wild next?
This game was my first game I got for the DS. This game is my childhood. As I watch people speedrun on Twitch, I sometimes wonder, what game would I be speedrunning. It would probably be this game. Heck, I think I unintentionally speedran the game back in the 2010s as a kid, and maybe I might have had some leader board worthy times back in the day. Noone will ever know. Seeing all these hard tricks and optimised movements kind of discourages me from picking up the game now. But who knows, maybe I'll download an emulator and give the game a shot for old times sake.
I feel the exact same way. I’ve played this game so so many times throughout my childhood and adult life. If there was any game I would be good enough to speed run it would definitely be this game.
Yeah I used to play this game over and over again each time setting goals for myself like trying to to faster, collect all the coins, get all gold star coins. But my ds broke and I never managed to unlock two worlds bc it required something specific 😅
I can understand your choice, I don't consider RU-vidrs that make this style of video to be summoning salt clones, he really started a genre honestly. I've seen lots of variation in this type of video so I wouldn't change your content solely based on that perception, but if you aren't happy making this type of content then by all means change it up.
Just some constructive criticism. I feel like you speak a bit faster for some people to understand. I had some trouble understanding some parts of the video because you went through them a little fast for me. If you could slow down a bit when you explain anything it would make for a much more entretaining video and so easier to follow. Hope this helps for the future. Keep up the good work
I love this game and this topic is very interesting, though I think you need to slow down a little in your video (mainly the beginning half or so). You're going from point to point to point very fast, we have to be super focused to keep up, which is not a good thing. I guess talk slower, slower/more in-depth explanation of tricks, more pauses/clips in between and I think you've got something, because everything else is hard good work!
I’d love to see world record histories on the rest of the NSMB series with 2 and U. (Small idea I had is to put the stats of each world record in other corners. Whereas Wii’s was in the bottom right and DS’s are in the bottom left, I suggest 2’s be in the top left and U’s in the top right. Just a suggestion.)
Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the struggles and madness in this world today, God is full of justice, mercy and love. Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans . The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom. If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. He will help us through the struggle, the stress, and anything we experience in the world. It's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power (not ourselves, we need Him to help us as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction). He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place. He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it. He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way. Christ says in John 16:33: I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.] - (AMPLIFIED version) NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER. Regardless of what you've done or what you're going through you CAN make it through Jesus xx
I found your channel first but noticed you've been editing a few videos for Atrioc too. Love your work on both channels. Can't wait to see what ideas you have next.
this video has summoning salt quality but dear god i am not waiting a year for a new video (dont get me wrong im not disappointed the video is hella good but yeh just nitpicking)
Was it ever considered to just re-time overworld movement to remove the Hammer Bro./?-Block RNG factor from the run just like it was done with loading times on VC?
As desirable as that may sound on paper, VC load time difference simply isn’t comparable to time fluctuation from any luck factor. What you’re asserting is that we could take all the benefit from HB/RB in levels(most notably in 1-2) without the repercussions of their map movement. It fundamentally changes the nature of the game to a more TA-oriented style
Great video Connor, I have never played or watched anyone play this game but I was captivated the entire time. The pacing was great, your presentation was super informative, and I feel like I came away from this actually having learned something. I know you're busy with a lot of editing things, but I hope you keep on making your own content because this was really good! 👍
Oh shit son! I just discovered your channel last night with the NSMBWii WR progression and I was like, man, I want to see more of this. And all I see on the channel is 2 videos both uploaded a year ago and I was a little sad. NEXT DAY you upload another WR progression video. That’s dope. Glad I subbed.
holy shit you're alive! another great video! looking forward to you're next one too! (would love one on Portal 2 the WR history for that game is fucking nuts, most recently it was discovered how to skip a cut scene but it makes you invincible its wild)
