How about Ocarina of Time Any% NG+? twitter.com/Savestate/status/1225625836960788480 EDIT: Narcissa’s WR isn’t official yet as the leaderboards are still being discussed.

[@piggyakaben]

The movement is too optimized at this point. I expect at most 10-20 more seconds can be saved, maybe a minute with TAS. People will continue competing for a while, but it would take inhuman luck in addition to perfect execution to beat this time. I wouldn't be surprised if this record stands forever.

[@ThatRipOff]

Speedrunners complaining about a glitch not being viable because of some arbitrary way they define Any% is pretty funny, considering how much we all make fun of people outside the SR community who think using any glitches at all is “cheating” and “doesn’t count.”

[@bruceU]

It's completely killed the category for pretty much anybody and made the category hardly resemble the actual gameplay at all. It's not ridiculous to legislate it out into a different category.

[@jazzabighits4473]

So you skip one more boss? How's it any difference to skipping every single boss in the game except Ganon and Gohma?

[@bruceU]

Because it uses ace to bypass movement even out of the first zone?? This is going to completely stagnate the run. The only oot run worth watching now is 100% because it actually still resembles playing the game. You people don't understand what makes a run compelling. The reason m64 will always be a relevant speed game is that, aesthetically, it just looks like you are beating the game extremely fast using tight gameplay. I'm not a glitch puritan but ace is pretty fucking obviously category killing. A sub ten minute any% run for a game as long as oot is not healthy for the run's future or for the spectator. It's funny that ace stands for arbitrary code execution, because it makes the run as a whole feel arbitrary and no longer about playing the game in any recognizable form at all.

[@EZScape]

Good luck dude, keep up the progress! What do you think is the new BPT with current strats?

[@Dewgma]

@@EZScape Best possible time i can estimate so far would be 3:08 or something like that. Though that would be more or less impossible to achieve do to Oblivion menues + the amount of clip luck needed in the current route. Clips aren't on their own unreliable with setups, but when doing for a fast enough time you have to yolo them. Which is why i call it clip luck. A human can get sub 3:10 if enough people jump on the game and start grinding. My run had one failed clip, one partially failed menu. Both adding up to mabye 2.5-3 seconds lost.

[@Kaiwala]

This amazing amount of speedrunning developments has also spilled over into the Roblox Community too. Adventure Forward 2, a speedgame I run that takes close to an hour in most categories, had an amazing skip discovered called TBS, or Text Box Storage. Essentially, certain key NPC's that we need to talk to to teleport us to areas of the map can have their teleport activated remotely anywhere on the map. Usually, we have to go to places, grab an item, then head back to the NPC, but now we can just take the NPC's text box with us to save time. Even better, is that it turns out teleporting keeps any momentum you had before the teleport. This wasn't useful before, as you could only teleport near an NPC where there is nothing nearby to gain any significant horizontal or vertical momentum, but since we now can teleport anywhere at will, we've taken to abusing several objects in the game that give us immense amounts of velocity, and making the teleport, to skip entire segments of the game. I'm aware that nobody really cares about Roblox, let alone Roblox speedrunning, but seeing this trend of speedgames having huge developments like this and having it spill over into our little corner of the internet is extremely cool.

[@landbeforetimeee]

Narcissia's run utilizes a quirk of the N64 controller's hardware to store inputs after being unplugged for a few seconds. Her run set up required either an input viewer, or to complete a run up to the point where ACE is performed, unplug the third port controller once the exact input is achieved, restarting the console, plugging the controller back in and restarting the run. This is how she was able to skip slingshot RTA. The controversy stems whether an input viewer constitutes tool assistance, and if the significant setup required to achieve that exact ACE input should be included in the run time.

2:33 Cheese was REALLY excited for this event...

[@scottmartin8888]

Cheese was already very close to hitting that 1:38 on Twitch before this. It's good he achieved it the way he did, great timing.

The day Puncayshun finally beat Siglemics SM64 WR will probably always be the most hype day in speedrunning for me.

[@recklesflam1ngo968]

12:52 ayyyy my man death_unites_us got mentioned! Great community and the fact we/he discovered this on FF7's birthday is even better

[@petfriendamy]

OMG I wasn't expecting the materia glitch to show up in this video. I was there for that and it was wild!

Yesterday (2/6/2020) was one of the biggest days for wind waker speedrunning, Linkus7 got a fully unbuffered manual super swim, and this was right after a new route and new barrier skip method was found. This unbuffered MSS is nearly impossible to achieve and he almost got the first sub hour run, which was a crazy run to watch.

On February 1st, I also set two World Records on a small game called Ether Loop. Both of which have been beaten, but only one of which has video proof.

Calle W is a melee legend, he was the last swedish player to beat Armada in Sweden until Leffen. And the last one to beat him in tournament before Genesis 1 (this was in 2008 iirc).

I didn't even know Narcissa was doing OOT runs again, huh! Also I love these sort of "speedrunning news" videos, especially hearing about communities that I don't follow or don't follow closely enough to know what's going on.

[@Whootzie]

I am absolutely stoked To hear that Narcissa on top of Ocarina of Time again. She is the one that got me in to watching speed runs way back in 2011 or 2012

[@roymustang9640]

[@Whootzie]

[@jazzabighits4473]

[@mcwinkle8059]

Another big discovery this week is Pokio skip in Mario Odyssey... which led to the worlds first 9 captures only by SmallAnt1

[@SHiFTss]

I got the current BfBB NG+ WR on this day too. Was a really sick time... something must've been in the air that day.

[@WhozMimzy]

"Pretty much the same, only slightly different" That line killed me.

[@RupeeRhod]

For the GWR I seemed to see somewhere somebody found that the Minecraft run wasn't possible without glitches. The map built for the event has some parkour impossible to beat apparently.

[@TrialzGTAS]

I just wanna give Cheese a big hug. He’s such a good dude

[@Dio-sb9ol]

Watching it live was legendary

[@Zephyrbal]

I watched the record happen live on BTR. It was wild to see it happen in real time.

[@Tailstraw_xD]

4:42 That's Simpleflips! Hi dad!

[@max954]

Omg, he talked about the Barrière tour :O
