After a GINORMOUS grind of *23* whole attempts, he finally got this run.

[@Spanikef]

He's gonna get the perfect run on emulator, then do it on original hardware the next day just for fun

[@blobs2635]

Do 9 attempts on original hardware

TWENTY THREE. ATTEMPTS?!?!?!??! nah bro this is the goat of smb, no one can say otherwise LOL

[@Scrimsion]

When he started this attempt session, he already had 11 attempts on the counter too 😳

[@JustSomeCarrot]

This is like doing 4:54.814 but on original hardware

[@nivington]

[@brawldude2656]

We need to retime with load times. Since emulators usually load faster

@@brawldude2656original smb load times are based on framerules, emulators are timed the same way

Proof that keyboard/emulator/controller doesn't inherently give you an advantage, but being named "Niftski" does.

@@Nintendoes2 well there isn’t a human on earth who can preform at the maximum potential that a controller can preform on a keyboard

[@shapowlow]

​@@Nintendoes2no it actually does. Niftski himself can't do perfect 8-4 without using controller. This is crazy considering that clueless haters say he has the advantage using keyboard when it's the other way around

[@Nayte08]

the attempt count always blows me away

[@zibberebbiz]

as an 80s kid who was always kind of bothered the WR was on keyboard, to see Niftski casually demonstrate he can easily do it on a NES has made things right in the world

[@djbrohawk]

This is how I've felt about it. Never doubted the ability, just never felt right seeing it done on hardware that wasn't original (or at least not on controller like NES Classic, etc.). Now I am satisfied LOL

[@TheKirokiller]

even the camera is original hardware very impressive!

[@alangarcia69]

Awesome bro, we love you. I love how stoked you get every time. You're the absolute best in the world and so humble. True champion🎉

[@aannttt1267]

Niftski is just built different, he is internally wired to be the best at this game or somethin.

[@blobs2635]

Kosmic said he just uses different practicing tricks; he doesn't have superhuman capabilities.

[@fran6b]

​@@blobs2635 I would argue that his unique practice routine (design it, commit to it, and benefit of it) is a prove that Niftski is built different.

[@_LBH_]

Not just at this game, but speedrunning in general

[@Gamer2k4]

I'm pretty sure he just practices a lot. Like most things in life, what people like to attribute to "natural talent" is really just thousands of hours of hard work.

[@clausclausie7560]

It's like that video with Billy Mitchell and the fat pony tail guy pretending to do a board switch but this video is of an actaul hero and chad doing legit awesome things.

[@Sir_Leelord]

right on

[@arcreehysteria9805]

so confident he said "that's it" on 8-3 before fpg

[@IvanJustW]

I think he said that because to set yourself up for FPG in 8-3 you have to jump on a specific frame, and he knew it was the right frame because of how much he practices it

[@AndersonNeo12]

If i blend out the left side with the speedrunning timer the right side truly feels like a 90s video 😁 Amazing job, double WR holder in any category, bravo.

[@TheMightyGiantDad]

You're insane. Can't wait to see you play in person again

[@silverflight01]

Congrats on 20K. Anyway, it's still funny that there are still those who argue that your EMU runs don't count because it's not on original hardware. So what, if Speedrun accepts it, then that's that.

[@ZTimeGamingYT]

Just the fact that 4:54 can be done is incredible, but having it on console is the cherry on top.

[@lukemagnotta7338]

I love how smb1 speed runners don’t actually need the timer because they can tell the time by bowser’s hammers 😂

[@psymar]

they need the timer so they know what to do on Bowser's hammers without having to wait on reaction time

[@Kosmicd12]

@@psymar Bowser's pattern changes every frame, looking at the timer wouldn't be reliable for that. Niftski has a very good idea of what speed he played 8-4 because of tons of experience, and from there you can see what the hammer bro and bowser fireball do to narrow down the rest. You'd pretty much play bowser the same way even without prior knowledge though.
