You do not need a competitive world record to be a speedrunner. All you need is the will to go fast. Speedrunning is a mentality, not a medal.

[@codename1176]

Yes. Speeeeeeeeeeeeed

[@jarretirish7281]

I think this is a big thing people wanting to get into speedrunning don’t translate from irl hobbies Take sports for instance you don’t start to become the best but you do it because you enjoy it and if you’ve got skill and work ethic then you become competitive and start worry about all that. Unless you’re well developed in the community and a top runner imo I think competing against anyone but your own pr is dumb and will take half the fun out of it in the long run

[@oscaruzcategui6259]

I like meth does that count? /s

[@raapture]

​@@oscaruzcategui6259😂 yes

[@You-are-definitely-right-but]

@@oscaruzcategui6259Don’t do it all at once, you have to really focus on the feeling. Meth is not a medal, it’s a hobby

[@haikumagician4363]

Coming up with a new world record strategy is more important than a world record time. At least to me

[@Fig_Bender]

One leads to the other

[@sandekv]

Agree, pushing the community forward is wort at least as much as getting the world record.

Coming up with the strat puts you in a summoning salt video 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@ReticentLily]

11:03 This is called a post pass (named after using the bottom post of the sling to pass the ball from one flipper to the other), and is a very common flipper skill in IRL pinball! I'm not too sure on how pokemon pinball physics compare to irl or even other sims, but it's neat to see the trick used even if accidental. You probably could've just held the flipper up here instead and used that to roll the ball back up the inlane to line up your shot when it comes back down if it's reasonably accurate, though.

[@ackoladeTV]

had no idea! time to speedrun irl pinball

[@That_Traynor]

New pinball machines are starting to come with built in Speedrun modes and timers! The overlap of pinball players and speedrunners is actually pretty big!@@ackoladeTV

[@potankoprime]

depending on the pinball game, the mechanics are pretty close to real world physics, you can even tilt the "board" and it'll lock up the controls for a bit

[@MudakTheMultiplier]

Pro tip: if you're going for WR, check the leaderboard rules.

[@ackoladeTV]

lesson learned the hard way lmao

Can you tell us the background of this comment?

[@healthyminds9279]

Pokemon Pinball R&S is such a great adventure! I love how everything on the board has a fun purpose that makes sense, unlike most pinball games. Would love to see more on this game.

[@dainiusramanauskas5460]

I would love to see a new Pokemon pinball 😢

[@sarowie]

Cool presentation 🙂It is awesome how much is happening in the run, while the time for a run is really manageable. And as you demonstrate: The sum of all best segments shows a lot of room, yet you also show much a player can screw up (showing that it really requires skill), but never looks "unfair". Really great!

[@ttrevorpainter]

Just wanted to say, that was a great run, video, and all around love your channel! Also loved the choice of music in Acceleration in the middle of the video!

[@furball192]

Acko you are a speedrunner! Anyone who puts blood sweat and tears for a speedrun is a speedrunner to me lol

[@thoopsy]

Yeah, he's falling into the toxic mentality of having to be the best to be anything.

[@mjc0961]

Agreed. You don't have to achieve a world record to be a speedrunner. If you speedrun games, you're a speedrunner, regardless of your times.

[@nonachyourbusiness1164]

If you try to run a game at the highest speed you can, you are a speedrunner

[@Dr_Andracca]

Meanwhile I'm over here *still* bragging about being in the top 1000 on Trials HD on the 360. I think I had one or two top 10 finishes for some campaign tracks, but I'll fucking take it.

[@kylespevak6781]

I've played the game a bit as a kid, but that beginning explanation was more than I ever knew about it. Then again, I never really play pinball with "skill", I just focus on not missing the ball

[@PrincessColumbidae]

the Photoshop slideshow shoulda gotten you the record by itself 😂

[@BoziOnline]

My man this brings me so back to playing this as a kid, I remember getting absolute wrecked by Groudon over and over again

[@Bric_13]

Fraudulent? never. not my goat 😤💯

[@yaseenpeeraullee9779]

That was entertaining af , this run really have potential with the right amount of randomness and skill ceiling . That was nice man

[@Non-disjunction]

1:36 god i love melee references

[@Fizzsics24]

Nice job! Although I did not expect to hear triple nut and double nut so many times

[@AWESOMEAzA12]

Loved this game on gba, definitely gonna look into the community now. Great content

[@umbralbahamut9353]

this also just helps me understand pinball more. Its one of those yeah I kinda knew but didn't really think about that hard in terms of extreme angles perfect timing perceison memorization if doing a specific table over and over again. great stuff.

[@joelsavoie8641]

I went back to this game a few weeks ago, and man ive never related harder to a speedrun video

[@Lyoishi]

First time watcher, good storytelling and editing, even if you failed the end of the run it would have been a great video showing off the run.

[@BlueLoveYT]

Getting that last hit on Jirachi was a miracle. It's like the game wanted you to have that world record.

[@uberhaxornovanongalaktiksk9798]

Funny how i kept on laughing every time he said TRIPLE NUT lmao

[@maura462]

I played this game for hours growing up and never knew there was a ruins location! Grear video 😄

[@ramanmonkey]

This game was so fun thanks for reminding me about it. Congrats on the world record

[@Tazmania98]

No world record is safe anymore. MY GOAT!

[@theincrediblebee5093]

one of my favorite games from growing up

[@cillianpod]

Recently got back into this game and beat my childhood record of 1.2 billion with a new record of over 5 billion

[@slouch186]

1:01 - Speedrunning isn't about holding WRs. It's about trying your best.

[@nobodysbusinezz]

nice run! nice vid. you really did it brah. I appreciate the break down. congrats.

[@garchompelago]

I only play that game whenever im bored or whenever I procastinate back then. Meanwhile, these people make a damn world record out of it. 💀

[@nameputhpong9041]

Someone needs to be appointed to stop this man from naming speed running strats.

[@ackoladeTV]

i like to triple nut what can i say

[@nameputhpong9041]

@@ackoladeTV like, there needs to be a whole-ass committee dedicated to the prevention of this mans naming convention because he is a menace. To society.

[@PtylerBeats]

Now you’ve reinspired me to play this game again

[@susguyfromamongus]

I played this game endlessly as a kid and never knew Jirachi was in it

[@Titantr0n]

Really enjoyed this one good job bro.

[@AndyA1]

Congrats on the God run! Great video. Thanks for mentioning me in the description. :] Hope to see you do Rayquaza runs soon.

[@ackoladeTV]

that’s the goal eventually!!

[@hisaceinthehole3426]

So sad we never got a 3rd game. The first 2 games were great, with the sequel being the best

[@dominothegrinch]

I’ve yet to achieve the mythical Triple Nut.. I must have faith & keep trying.

[@gadielinutil]

Me trying to get the maximum score on the ruby field and getting trapped between the 3 chinchous and getting infinite points with the only way to exit is timing a shake of the board: Man this is soooo hard.

[@Eliwood407]

so save stating to right before input starts is not allowed? That's kinda silly, what difference does that make?

[@ackoladeTV]

my understanding is that it gives emulator an unfair advantage to do more runs in a shorter amount of time compared to hardware runners, which makes sense

[@someguywithamic9]

Im going to use a different game as an example, one i may attenpt someday, Ape Escape 2. Theres a part that has a lot of RNG and going a 100% would be different for a console player than a emulator player if theres a save state involved. i do belive there's also data collected when pressing "start" when booting the game on bith pinball and ape escape (Also in MegaMan Battle Network, but thats just another example)

[@Eliwood407]

@@someguywithamic9 aah RNG manipulation didn't occur to me, that's a good reason indeed!

omg, I never thought I’d see jirachi.

[@WILDouglash]

The pinball Ruby one had a busted infinite glitch. I let it run on a tablet for days and wracked up trillions of points. It's more of a joke really.

This game was so fun when I was kid lol

This is not a comment about pokemon, but you may like the most recent videos from Technology Connections; Old pinball machines are amazingly complex.

[@alicevioleta3184]

the only problems i have with pinball are that the dexes don't actually matter for the main series. if you could get a reward in Ruby/Sapphire(or RGB/GSC for the original) it would be cool.

​@@ackoladeTVHey bro I commented on this at the very beginning of the video but after having seen it through, your videos are becoming insanely polished and very visually engaging.

[@1snivy10]

I will be shocked if your run isn't spliced. This vid is just too suspicious. You're conveniently off-camera and off-voice for the jirachi part? You're DESPERATE to place a WR somewhere? The overexplaining of the ball teleporting at the end, trying to pass it off as a weird quirk of the game? The dismissive handwave of "ok yeah I used savestates, but I promise I didn't cheat with them!"? Naaaahhh. You're trying too hard to cover your tracks and it shows.

[@ackoladeTV]

why would i splice a run only to beat it again afterwards lol

[@CaptainXJ]

I dont understand why people say shit like fuck, if they don't want to say fuck. Do you not script your videos? #fuckcensorship
