He Broke a "MAXED" 1999 Pokémon Snap World Record!

[@user-qq6tj9rc9l]

Thanks for introducing Muk in your video It was me who was talking to feketerigo. It's google translation, but I'll write down the content of the conversation 10:08 We are discussing whether it is possible to adjust the vertical sway of the Zero-One 10:50 Can't you see Grimmer? (It's hard to see when you're in front, so it's a sign that you're in a good place) 10:59 Waiting for friend Muk to move 11:10 Wasn't it a success? 11:17 The total score for the photo was 8180, so I'm trying to predict the score for the photo 11:29 Consulting on photo selection 12:06 Exceeded! 12:10 I was planning to take pictures of Muk for another 3 hours, so I told him that I wouldn't let him escape even if I achieved it

[@GamerFolklore]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing the translation, and good luck with your own Muk pictures!

Hope he prints it out at his local blockbuster

[@GamerFolklore]

Yeah it's not often that you're gonna see 20+ year records broken. Amazing stuff, great video!

[@noir66146]

especially Muk giving the middle finger in a kids game.

[@andrewut7ya511]

True, and it takes 20 years for it to happen again

[@TeamEp1cHD]

Rough Japanese translation: "I'm kind of thinking about adjusting the height, because the other muk is in a bad spot, it's like guaranteed that I won't get the bonus points of him being in the shot" "Yeah, how to adjust it is also a problem..." "Well if I decide the timing of when to shoot (the photo) in advance, I think I can kind of get it by counting down to that moment" "Oh, it's not there! It's not there!" (Whispering) "C'mon, come out quickly" "He's visible!" Then they just talk about which photo is better (while saying it looks promising) and he decides to go with the one on the left because muk is taking up more of the frame. At the very end the other guy says, 'dont run away' as he promised to stream longer and I guess after getting the record there's a good chance he'd just want to end the stream there. 翻訳・通訳できるように勉強してるからもし間違ってるとこあったら誰か教えてください

I know this was already translated. But I am curious about what they said (in japanese) where I put [??]. I am not too bad at japanese, can watch anime without subtitles but listening to informal conversation is my weak spot.

[@tonynubares6880]

This reminds me of when I was studying at the university of Pisa. To go to uni I had to either walk through or drive very close to Pisa's tower and there were Japanese tourists everyday making photos of the tower. Now I'm starting to realize they weren't tourists: they were only trying to achieve the best score with their photos, experimenting with different angles and different techniques and trying to get extra points by fitting some of the other monuments in the same photo

[@OpheliaFantasy]

😂😂😂

[@44i80]

Hehehehehe great comment 🤣🤣🤣

[@CycloneFN]

I was unaware of the new record, the notification truly shocked me, I never imagined this could happen. I believe a similar thing happened with Meowth, but finding another Pokémon that allowed for a bonus Pokémon in the picture, *and* believing that it could break the record, *AND* actually spending time and energy going for it is truly the mark of a top tier gamer. Seems like at this point, only Pokémon that appear once are safe, but maybe not even those (double Moltres egg spawn? Perhaps one day =P). Congratulations to feketerigo, and well done on the research, Goose!

[@GamerFolklore]

I know, right! Makes me wonder about something like Scyther, as impossible as it sounds, lol.

[@jervoskitzin]

Double Moltres egg spawn???

[@penguinjay]

Holy crap. This one is ancient. His true belief took him to the goal.

[@OverratedGames]

that was so fun to hear the two friends talking through it in real time, even if i couldnt understand what they were saying. seemed to be having a good little time together while making history

[@unRealityFPV]

sometimes the most fascinating stories are the most 'mundane' records being broken because the optimization is already so high. This is kinda like a new Dam Agent record

[@MrSkill_420]

Avsolute brilliance by this young speed runner. The courage and determination to press onward into the unknown where no man hath previously dared venture. The will to ascend and transcend society's arbitrary boundaries is truly the greatest and most legendary feat in the glorious history of all mankind.

THIS IS WHY YOU NEVER SAY NEVER! There is nothing i hate more in speedrunning/highscoring than "this will never be beaten". Great video as always goose :)

[@WilfredCthulu]

Well that's cool. I still consinder this game to be underrated so it's nice to see a dedicated community of it still finding new innovations for it even if it's as simple as this.

[@mathprodigy]

True

[@MofoMan2000]

Amazing, I love hearing about this kind of crap. I still have my cart from when I was a kid. I dug it out, tossed it in my console. Turns out my best score was 3960...

[@GreenEnvy.]

Literally nobody is saying "that's it?" Everyone watching your videos knows how remarkable a broken 24 year old world record is.

[@sarowie]

the duality of using well know techniques, yet innovative application makes this remarkable. In theory, all the pieces where there. Even a casual player used all the techniques shown in his/her first play trough. Yet, no body has linked the pieces to gether. With golden eye or Perfect dark, the records are build up on each other. Techniques where discovered. Paths optimized. Known but difficult techniques/exploits where implemented to shave of fraction of a second to just up to the next round down. It's an iterative process building on it self. Even breaktrough techniques do not break records "unexpectedly", because setups need to be developed, pathing reoptimzed etc. - its a whole process. Sure, this record also has setup development, path optimization and grind - but it feels "pure" as only intended base mechanics are used in the intended way.

[@randomname285]

Nobody is saying "that's it?" because if you're sad enough to click on a video about a Pokemon Snap record being beaten in the first place you're gonna know what's up (myself very much included)

[@Pouloririri]

feketerigo is a legend in both the original snap and new pokemon snap. His record are some of the toughest to beat and some of his strategy discoveries (and optimization of records) are crazy, especially at the speed he achieves these scores.

I thought the part where you said that even the devs might not have gotten this score was like... a joke at first but after seeing what it is, yeah it makes sense now. this is actually incredible.

Thank you very much for your Pokémon Snap high scoring documentaries, as a high scorer myself I find them excellent! Keep up the good work, and maybe you'll talk about me in a future video, who knows... A little precision for 3:36 : the orientation doesn't matter for the pose points, it will always be 1000 as long as you take the photo during the animation that plays after you hit Muk with the pester ball.

[@GamerFolklore]

Thanks and good luck on your Pokemon scores! I kinda figured that was the case with Muk. Very interesting how some Pokemon don't care at all if they're photographed from behind (sometimes).

[@whydoyougottahavthis]

He says in Japanese "Oh fuck I hope goose does a documentary on this!"

[@eeveefennecfox]

yeah right liar

[@Kahadi]

With this new knowledge, what is the theoretical best score for Muk now? Is it the 4030 he got, or, with insane luck, is it feasible to maybe get a perfect 1000 size as well, or even higher on the bonus, and achieve maybe 4070 or 4100 or something? I'm thinking the best way of figuring out the theoretical best, without luck actually getting it, might require looking at the possible paths and seeing if it's even possible for them to be set up better, but still, proving the theory with a hacked version or something could give a new achievement for people to work towards. Pretty cool that proving this was possible came from him tying the previous max thanks to the bonus instead of just something close to the previous record.

[@GamerFolklore]

I think something like 4100 might be possible, and could end up happening. People have gotten 160 "friend" points with size in the 800s. So it could plausibly all add up.

[@kayleigh1991]

Oh wow, I remember trying to do this as a kid.

[@eeveefennecfox]

now if only feketerigo can do that impossible perfect charizard picture,and yes I belive he can do it,I'm surprised the muk picture was impoosible to,if he can do it with muk then I have faithe in him getting charizard,maybe someone should suggest that to feketerigo

[@wuldntuliktonoptb6861]

I wonder if pal version of this game could help with this, with the different resolution size the camera picture would be a different size. Much like you can zoom the farsight in deep-sea it's possible you could get a bit more of the 2nd grimer and beat this score a bit.
