[@lordrob13]

what impresses me the most with this is the insane amount of memorization this takes. i am willing to bet nobori has a genius level IQ. this has to be so much more than just audio cues, the amount of things he has to memorize for all the movements as well as back-ups in honestly mind blowing. this guy is beyond next level

[@Ray25689]

Pretty much all IQ tests dont test memorization. They focus on getting creative solutions etc.

[@lordrob13]

@@Ray25689 yeah well I’m pretty sure he could outscore both combined on math and physics too dude

[@Ray25689]

I think the high IQ stuff here is more hidden in the strats. Finding consistent strats in such a game really is incredible. And I want to point out that IQ ≠ intelligence

[@Ray25689]

@@lordrob13 why do you think that? Honest question, I dont know this guy at all, but maths and physics are really different from playing SM64 in any way (even the PU stuff, its mostly basic calculations, but math is way more than that. Since I study maths I think I'm able to say this)

[@Ray25689]

@Kristo Pushka IQ doesnt reflect your memorization for example. But still, people would call someone a genius who is extraordinary good in remembering stuff. There are thousands of ways to measure the IQ and they dont result in the same number. Some of them have time pressure, other dont. So there is a lot of psychologic stuff that isnt considered in those tests. Let me rephrase it: IQ should be the same as intelligence, but the ways we measure IQ make this absolutely impossible.

[@TimmyTomsen]

It's insane that he memorized a 90 minute long sequence of button presses/analog stick angles, AND alternatives for every star (I would assume).

the at min 30:52 cheese asked, why used 2 different method to enter Volcano. 1st method is faster but has to take damage, 2nd method is slower but no damage taken. nobori needed HP for the star in the 2nd method Thus using 2 different method

[@shunoaki4332]

Exactly what I was thinking too.

[@Mart964j]

That could be a reason, but I also think, that it has something to do with the camera. If you look at 30:10 and 30:53, they are not at the same and from different angles🤔

its more like memorizing an hour and a half piece of music that you can fuck up, but you have earplugs in, and can't hear what you're playing

[@LittleRainGames]

musicians can play without looking all the time, but video games are different. Music you have a tempo to go off to making it much easier to time. Video games to repeat motion exactly, need to be down to the millesecond, and need to be done sequentially(just like bitcoin's block chain, where you change one thing and it affects everything else down the line). Music you can be off by a tiny bit and it wont matter, and if you screw up it wont mess up everything after. So no this would be much harder than memorising an hour and a half music piece. This is literally spending an hour and a half pressing multiple buttons sequentially at the exact millesecond.

I think the real beauty of these blindfolded runs is that it makes us feel that sense of wonder we felt when first learning about speedrunning for this game. In a game where the "normal" speed tech is among the most well known and documented of any game, seeing someone surprise us again by pulling off crazy stuff is refreshing.

[@julioestrada3111]

40:20 I think he probably always goes slightly left because the next strat involves the left wall

[@KPoWasTaken]

The first time he went left as he heard mario falling sound, the 2nd time he messed up and didn't hold left. I think that's why he chose to press left after when he wasn't entirely sure if he was aligned, to be safe

Fury is one of the words where Y is seen as the sometimes vowel. It causes the U to say its name. "F you ree" instead of 'Fuh ree' Its one of the more obscure rules of English phenetics that schools don't teach anymore. I believe its borrowed from Welsh, where W is an always vowel.

[@joeltw6560]

4:49 some dude in chat said he was gay but thought it would get lost in the comments, im rooting for you man.

[@joshuma32]

First step to doing a blindfold speed run would be to try to do a run without talking

[@SudaNIm103]

꧁46:40꧂ While "furry" and "fury" are spelled similarly, their roots come from very different languages. The root of "furry" is ofcourse "fur" a word of truly ancient origin; having evolved through many steps from the Proto-Germanic "fōdrą". Once the noun "Fur" came into English it was rendered the adjective "furry" prescriptively when well established Old English suffix conventions, meaning "full of or characterized by," were applied. The origin or "Fury" are Latin words for rage "furo\furia\furiæ" but came in to English via the Old French "Furie" but quaint attempts to reform and standardize English spelling would eventually change it to "Fury".

[@doughpop6971]

Just saying as a Christian man I never understood why people are so hateful to people who are gay. You said that a lot has to do with religion. I remember a quote from the Bible that states nobody has the right to judge except for the Lord himself. Those who damn other are worse than the sinner themselves. I hold that verse very close to myself. Nobody has the right to tell people how to live their lives do what makes you happy.

[@Razi7s]

59:55 when mario is on an elevator and ledge grabs and a ceiling is above him, he will automatically ledge grab to prevent squisihing damage (or because his hitbox when ledge grabbing is actually up there, it makes sense for him to not fall down). thats a mechanic and he uses it to tell when mario is fully up

[@95TurboSol]

This makes me angry more than anything, he legit plays mario 64 better blindfolded than I can with my eyes

[@PopADoseYo]

You can get good at it. I started back in 2013. About a month I was able to get t-minus 23 minutes on 16 star. After about a year I got around sub 1 hour on 70 star. The hardest part was learning pillarless. I find it easier to speedrun the game than casually playing it now. I don't speedrun it anymore because of personal life crap and my drive stopped when Siglemic stopped.

[@xxjmxx13]

Around 40:00 he's aiming for left wall anyway so he's always gonna go left a bit

[@Remitos]

I think it would be appropriate if the community defines one way to blindfold oneself so that you can show your version of the thing or whatever before you begin. That would minimize a bit the cheating possibility. Not to 100 percent of course, but standardizing rules in competitive sport is always a good idea.

[@Remitos]

not saying that nobori is cheating, just thought about it, because of the video commenting at the beginning.

[@MDSF90]

*WOWSER BOWSER!!* The strats that he uses in this run are _sooooo_ efficient that it makes me _suuuuper_ skeptical that he can’t see through that blindfold. Obviously he is _most likely_ *not* cheating!! He did have a game over and totally could’ve saved that last death if he moved back just a tiiiiny bit (the only way he would’ve known how close he was tho, obviously, is if he could see through the blindfold. Case dismissed! LOL! Totally not cheating, IMO. All of that aside, also not cheating, due to the fact that he must have a pretty substantial following. He also must stream daily for his fans who have watched his strats, timed movements, and PB/WR attempt runs for a _very_ long time. Anyway, it just makes you wonder how long he has been doing this and how efficient he will inevitably become if he continues on this pace. I mean, muscle memory is an amazing thing! I see these blindfolded runners bringing these times down to within ten minutes behind the regular (non-blindfolded) run times! _Can you imagine sub -1 hour blindfolded 70 star runs?!_ *LOL! Like, uhhh, saayyy WHAAAAAT?!?!* That will be _absolutely incredible_ but I’m _honestly, totally, here for it!_ Keep up the amazing work, *Nobori56!*

Not accusing this guy of anything -- this is just general curiosity on blindfolded runs: how do you know they aren't being told minor corrections by someone (either in the room or through the headset)? I'm thinking of times when they are close to a star or coin or whatever, and they need to know exactly what angle to go.

Personally, I don't think Blindfolded runs would be fun to learn. The main appeal of "VIDEO" games is the visual feedback loop. Maybe trying it out for a few runs as a joke sounds fun, but dedicating hundreds of hours to mastering blindfolded speedrunning is something that requires immense memory and willpower only a few people on Earth possess.

[@iwersonsch5131]

I guess he probably did it to lose speed for better spacing, and/or to be closer to the left wall to reach it a bit faster. Surviving wasn't the point of this left input.
