There's only one explanation. Niftski got his speedrunning ability via a wish granted from a monkeys paw. He wished to be an incredible speedrunner, and his wish came true but the cost? He would be so good, so effortlessly, that it would rob him of his joy.

Great video! Niftski is a really incredible player, but I think one thing that him and Suigi have in common is their absolutely spotless practice etiquette. They are relentless at grinding down a trick until it becomes second nature, no matter how hard it is.

@AkumaAPN 8 месяцев назад

I agree. I learned from the best, and i do the same thing with Prince of Persia SNES. Life has been crazy lately, and no time for practicing or running, and yet, last Sunday, I got a new WR on a single attempt. Granted, PoP has way easier timing than SMB1, but putting in the practice one trick at a time definitely pays off!

It seems like hardcore practice takes a lot of commitment. It can get very tedious, and attempts certainly get you more views. But I assume it's the most effective way to train. Imagine if basketball players practiced every day by spending just a few minutes on shooting drills followed by hours of full games.

It's so bittersweet to be living through the final days of SMB1 speedrunning. He will tie the TAS all the way and then everyone will have to move on to other things. This feels a bit like the end of the DAS era of Tetris, as it was ultimately obsoleted by hypertapping. We will always remember the likes of AndrewG, Kosmic and Niftski in SMB1 like we remember the likes of Jonas, Greentea and Joseph, but at one point it's really the closing of an era, a story with a beginning and an end.

@rnf123 5 месяцев назад

I think the reason it bothers Niftski to finish speedruns so fast is that this is his moment in the spotlight. Think about it. Most of us are born with only one or two truly exceptional talents. When we finally get attention for those talents, we don't want the moment to end. We want to savor it. And we want the audience to connect with us in the right way. Niftski has a gift for speedrunning, but he's so gifted that it actually hinders his ability to keep an audience in suspense and keep them emotionally invested in his runs. What he's really saying when he quits the run is this: I want to be achieving this milestone when my full effort and intention is on it. I want myself and my audience to be in sync, on the edge of our seats, waiting to see if I can make it happen. I don't want it to be in a goofy category, with terrible setup, and nobody properly paying attention.

@zerlichr426 7 месяцев назад

Nifski is example of "what happen if you always win". Not many people understand the fact that struggle is NEEDED in life, because if you overcome something that seems to be impossible, it's more rewarding to you when you finally done it. For any other speedrunner finally breaking the barrier and making it so close to be better, is always this dopamine rush to say "YES YOU'RE GETTING BETTER". But with how good Nifski is, it will not happen as often. And most of things is less celebration, but more "oh i did it". It reminds me of one fictional character that had problem he when looking on something understand how it work. He got frustrated, because that "joy of exploration and understanding" never happen to him and it became really boring, those so called "unsolved misteries". So i just say, be happy with your struggle. It makes your happy moments better.

@Accrovideogames 8 месяцев назад

That would be impossible to verify. Once SMB1 Any% gets a perfect run, they'll just move to other categories. Once all categories get perfected, they'll just create new ones. Once they run out of ideas for new categories, they'll just start using ROM hacks voted in by the top runners. For example, you can double the number of categories for SMB1 by playing as Luigi with his SMB2 physics. New world records will continue to happen for centuries.

The SMB1 event at PACE was just insane. I remember popping off watching the 4:55 and running into the practice room to tell my friends about it, only to emerge a little later to see him *ON PACE TO GET AN EVEN BETTER **4:55**.* Sadly I wasn’t in the venue when he got the 4:54 but that video was still awesome and i’m still shook it happened. Undeniably the GOAT also i got to commentate the warpless simul which was fun :)

In my 10 years of speedrunning, I honestly do not see how someone can be this good at their main game. Its the consistency. I can't think of anyone else that has been this consistent. There is always someone better that comes along, this game as shown it. However, this game is almost perfect. I wonder how he would do if he switched to some other games once he's done with Mario. Can he destroy those as well?

@lookas170 7 месяцев назад

other Mario games have very different physics compared to this, and he's a keyboard player, many Mario games require a normal controller to play most likely he wouldn't

@electricpants8196 7 месяцев назад

he has actually played a bit of red ball 1, and actually set a world record with a 2:37, though it's since been beaten by miniland with a 2:35. i'm sure he could make the jump to other games, since the main reason he's so phenomenal at smb1 is because he's insane at practicing everything.

I kind of resented Niftski at first when he started sniping WRs because Kosmic is my fav SMB1 runner, but you can't help but respect the pure skill and gamesmanship

@LoopieRaps 8 месяцев назад

I’m honored to have been able to sit down with Niftski a couple years ago when he first hit 4:54 on SMB and he’s been amazingly consistent with world records ever since! Honestly bringing smb to its absolute limit

@2_Old 5 месяцев назад

I know it's not all like this, but something I really enjoy about the speedrunning community is how ya'll are so genuinely excited for one another once someone sets a new record. No doubt there is drama, and haters, but as a whole, the speedrunning community seems pretty wholesome.

@stefansamoyloff3866 5 месяцев назад

Just my 2 cents, but ... Speedrunning deals objectively with limits of human ability and TAS for guidance. As such "World Records" are actually just millstones. Will another human be born who can beat 9.58s in the 100m? Who knows. So Usain Bolt can look at his record is something that might never be beaten, and might even feel disappointed if it is. Will a human, given enough time, beat the current WR for SMB? Yes. That's just a fact. We know that because the WR isn't at the theoretical limits of human ability. Unless you tie the task, you should never expect your record to hold for long ... and even then, new tech can change that. So why be disappointed by something that is inevitable? While in other sports you are competing against other people, in a speedrun you are more competing with your personal best and the game itself. And after you try to "break" a game for 3 years, seeing someone else break the game even better then you did is actually pretty cathartic for most people.

As someone bumbling through B-side golden berries in Celeste, the example of getting records fast is what really sold me on how good this man is.

I have a theory about Nifski. Most people when they get excited have a hard time concentrating, but some people can go into hyperfocus and become much better than they usually are. He's had enough, "I don't believe this is happening" to lead me to believe he's such a player. His excitement takes him to another level. To an All Time GOAT level.

@musicmashups 8 месяцев назад

It really looks like Nifski will become the first, possibly only, runner to get the perfect Any% run that ties TAS. That might be the only goal that actually takes him a significant amount of time to accomplish
