[@TheGuyWhoIsSitting]

Bot copy pasting your comment aside, it isn’t like Suigi just played a single run for both categories and got two world records. He has put a ton of time into these tricks and mastering the movement. Not saying it’s impossible but it’s highly unlikely.

[@ValkyrieTiara]

​@@TheGuyWhoIsSittingit wouldn't be the first time a top runner has faked a wr. Sometimes there's a feeling of "I've come so close so many times" "I've put so much time into this" and "I deserve it". I'm not saying the runs were faked, but ruling it out on cred alone is a recipe for disaster. Every wr in a competitive game like this, especially ones as landmark and sea changing as these runs are, should be checked as thoroughly as possible. Personally, I also think hand cams should be required for top times in all games.

[@GameCarpenter]

​@@TheGuyWhoIsSitting To the contrary, as seen before, people who put more time into a game also think they are more deserving. He is also full of risk factors for it imho. A lot of people put a lot of time in without these results. Two WRs in quick succession seems more unlikely to me. That being said, regardless of my suspicions, its up to the experts to do an analysis if they care, and right now, it seems like they're satisfied. I don't run it, and I haven't even been following his progress so my concerns shouldn't carry any weight. I haven't even heard of him until this came to light, so I assume he hasn't been relevent at the WR level for very long compared to other SM64 runners. But I don't follow it that closely, so again, I wouldn't know. He could have done more to make it clear his runs were legitimate, such as not cutting off his hands during the streams. You would think that would come up once you start getting WRs, but it might not be practical for his set up so *shrug*

It's also hard to overstate just how many 16 star runs happen every day. More people have speedrun 16 than probably any other videogame speedrun in existence. To jump this far into the lead over that massive pack of players is wild.

Bro, even though we all know how it ends, you still manage to expertly weave suspense into your narration. It's really well done. And man, the kids reaction is epic. I love watching for the reactions almost as much as the actual content. This kid is something else, man. Insane skills.

[@juliuspleaser4675]

My God he got so in the zone he didn’t realize at first 😅 What an incredible moment lmao. SM64 is perfection

[@Cracks094]

Like you yourself have said many, many times - it is never over. Whenever anyone proclaims that a time has been perfected and the community has reached the limit, something appears seemingly out of nowhere and shatters everyone's belief. Now we just wait for that moment to happen :D

[@Dominion69420]

Going back over and over (and per simply) on the 16 star run, the most time that could have been gained from just tad bit more optimization off of that run, is 1.5, MAYBE 2 seconds. And that has to be 100% optimized purely perfect not even the slightest of mistakes. Purely insane.

[@qactustick]

This was mentioned in the video. Another runner has segment times that, if stitched together, would beat this. So the potential is there, even aside from something unforeseen like new strats being discovered and developed.

[@af57162]

@@qactustick Imo it is worth remembering that Suigi pulled off a near-perfect run, and still missed his sum of best by 7 seconds. I know that hypothetically SlipperyNip could have a god run and take it, but he would need to get within 2 seconds of his own sum of best, which is practically unheard of as far as I know.

[@Dominion69420]

@@qactustick That requires all golden splits (fastest ever segments) that afaik has never been done on a SM64 speedrun even ones that are unoptimized to hell

It's always a surprise to see this game and GoldenEye get even more broken and played faster.

[@Estebanues]

I played SM64 more than 10 years ago and recently I decided to try it again after watching a ton speedruns all this years. Doing the common tricks is kinda hard but damn... Speedrunners have a lot of control and technique, especially for the camera. I respect all of them because this game is complex

[@Cceptus]

I get so emotional watching people freak out after achieving their speedrun world records. Just mad respect for these guys.

[@D1.y]

Honestly, I'm not even that deep down the speedrunning-rabbit-hole but with titles like this I feel excited like a child.

[@RageUnchained]

This guy is on a whole other level. The amount of hours he must’ve put in to reach this level. Respect. This man isn’t a legend. He has ascended to the level of Mythic

[@puddlez96]

I am by no means a HUGE fan of speed running game play, but holy fuck if that's not the most GENUINE wholesome reaction I've seen from someone achieving a record in a video game. I don't know who this young man is, but I'm happy for him nevertheless. I enjoy your content, cheers.

[@EirTheGhost]

15 seconds in a short category like that is unheard of. Imagine being so far ahead you could accidentally drop your controller after the third bowser throw, struggle a bit to find it, sit back up, and grab the star and still have a world record seconds ahead in a category where litterally milliseconds seperate people at the very top.

[@Vanayr]

The level of excitement and raw joy you see at the accomplishment is just amazing to watch.

[@Shrando]

And here I am, sat with my n64 and mario booted up. Such a good game and such a good speedrun. Suigi earned all respect and attention he gets. He’s a legend and is essentially competing against himself.

[@PsiRedEye22]

This is the one big game I missed growing up despite having an N64. Do you think it still holds up as a game worth playing in 2023 outside of speedrunning? I'm definitely interested to try it.

[@Shrando]

@@PsiRedEye22 if you're a fan of the other 3d marios then I would say yes but I defo have a bias XD

[@OhhWelll]

Watching the perfect movement is INSANELY satisfying. Who needs asmr when you've got this. This guy is absolutely amazing and he deserves a win this big for sure. I'm so excited to see him take more world records!

[@lorenzospitaleri]

man just destroyed every other speedrunner and thought we wouldn't notice💀

[@irighterotica]

Man, SM64's gameplay/mechanics are so tight. And Suigi has mastered them to such a degree, Mario's maneuvers seem flawless-he flies, jumps and slides from place to place so fluidly. Watching him play almost feels like seeing someone execute a perfect parkour run. Impressive stuff!

[@robertzarfas9556]

I’ve had a rough day. And I did not expect anything other than a great video but the simple act of being addressed as an absolute legend just made my day!

[@HyperTensionJohnny]

[@clintgahm1495]

In his mind his goal was probably a 14:39-38, accounting for some small errors, so it really speaks volumes and shows how truly shocked he actually was at his 14:35 after somehow nailing the entire run without a single real mistake. It truly is a work of art, outside of maybe three micro errors losing a frame or two it's basically perfect.

[@4dojo]

I love that SM64 still has a strong speedrunning community after all these years.

[@MrJoerT]

All the news about cheaters has reallly had a dramatic effect on me. I'm sure Suigi is just a total for-real boss, but my gut reaction for something epic like this is not awe, but suspicion. Consciously I'm convinced that this run is completely legit, but I can't help but notice the change in my own reaction. It's a shame a few bad apples are casting clouds over the accomplishments of these absolute legends. I can only hope my reaction is an outlier.

[@thisisarandomaccount1]

Records like these are watched carefully in every single way. If it was like #10 on the leaderboard there would be a chance, but this is #1

[@ssgoko88]

​@@thisisarandomaccount1 that assumption has killed lesser leaderboards. For there to be zero controversy about his victory it's almost strange in this hate-a-day world. I think he has already been caught cheating and the admins are waiting and watching to see if they can sweep up all his runs at once from all the games he plays.

So I stumbled across one of your videos a few months ago about doom speedruns. This was more or less my introduction to speedrunning. Holy crap this has got to be the greatest community I never knew of. The most effort I've ever seen from humans towards a common goal. You all are so fortunate to have such a rich but relatively niche community. You guys should be proud. Thanks Karl.

[@Mr.Manta5988]

Amazing. Thanks for bringing us the coverage. We Love you. Giving glory to other great runners, you are the true legend. Take care!!!

[@simonschuetz9740]

I love watching these and the commentary is great. Even as someone who enjoys gaming it is hard to grasp how difficult these feats really are and I love the reactions when a speed run succeeds (or fails) because it just shows so much passion there is and how tense it must be. So good 🎉
