I just broke this record but somebody just robbed my house and shot my capture card with an assault rifle.

[@jackie1949]

juicebox jr. What are the odds right

[@spookmc6440]

I thought ur profile pic was hitler

[@llamaryder1]

My bad that was me i didnt mean to shoot your capture card

[@hypnotised-clover]

juicebox jr. BUT IT WAS STILL FUNCTIONAL! So then, another robber jumped in and stole it

[@epicandstevie4152]

lol

[@manikenwarrior]

fuk it im breaking out my n64 lets see what i can do

[@manikenwarrior]

i wish

[@Einar979]

u should check if ur phone got a ir blaster, shouldnt be a problem to use it as a remote controller if it does

[@johnathanortiz8178]

richard jackson wait fr 😂

[@coachmcguirk6297]

richard jackson not what cheese can do rofl

[@MrSmokinGanja]

I just beat it but my recorder broke and I didn't notice.

[@conalfisher765]

MrSmokinGanja Same thing happened to me in a Super Metroid run last week. Got a 1:09:32 but my capture card hadn't been connected properly.

[@Sal13414]

im sure buddy

[@leWolpis]

understandable, have a great day

[@0denMS]

Sucks should of made sure your capture card was workig

[@acecanti4175]

The joke went over everyone's head

[@itscomplicatedwatches]

The narrator being pitch changed kind of makes this more silly than it needed to be.

[@illmatticx]

That mixed with the seriousness makes me laugh and I feel bad

[@Elmo9001]

I enjoyed this video about the second greatest speedrun ever. The greatest speedrun ever involved many more Owen Wilson impersonations.

[@IronicTB]

This guy gets it.

[@Alphabet576]

...which run is this? who was the legend who wowed his way to victory?

[@DSL_Returns]

Bonesaw's Jak And Dexter run, of course, at SGDQ2016.

[@memaimu]

Wow, these keys are great. Push this button and the car honks. You can honk from outside your car. It's crazy.

[@ChunkyKongGaming]

Bonesaws gdq run recently was cringe as hell. I couldn't make it past 15 minutes, sorry but its not even a good run. The best runs are from the cosmo/siglemic era - no contest

[@ShneeMan300]

The year is 20wahoo. Super Mario 64 speed runs have been pushed to TAS levels of perfection. RoboCheese III has landed a 1:32.

[@gdash6925]

Mark Schramm 1:20*

[@GDOsmium]

Mark Schramm -0.001*

[@TheGaming100]

dude, 120 star looks so perfect, because even there, people are saving frames. The current 120 wr still has visible mistakes casual viewers can still notice

[@TheGaming100]

RoboCheese is a cheater than.

[@sweetwheatsy]

Is there a reason this was so... cheesy? (no pun intended... for the most part) Even having sinister music and graying the screen when they talked about Bataro, as if painting him as a sort of villain, which seems weird? I mean, it's a cool story, but was there a reason to play on pathos like that?

[@Lonyr]

It's discouraging when someone comes out of nowhere and makes something you've worked really hard for look almost easy. That represents a point where Cheese could have given up, but instead chose to continue, so I feel the effect is pretty fitting.

[@sweetwheatsy]

That's fair, but he didn't really come out of nowhere, as Cheese mentioned himself, and he probably also worked just as hard to try and achieve that goal.

[@Dworim]

Batora coming out of nowhere? That's a good one

[@Lonyr]

if he hadn't been speedrunning super Mario 64 for a while, I'd consider that coming out of nowhere, even if he was prominent before

[@Dougy]

You intended that pun. You bullshit

[@tigame2360]

The story and how you edited it together was super interesting and entertaining. I love these kinds of story videos.

[@johnnymcmate2701]

Fantastic video Apollo, this is the exact kind of content that has been missing in the community for so long, especially during the long lost days of Cosmo and Siglemic. I'm excited to enjoy the future of speedrunning with you at the helm.

[@ImVeryBrad]

Johnny McMate yeeeeaaaaa boyeeeeeee

[@ingeniousclown]

Check out SummoningSalt's videos. It's basically this, but a whole lot better.

[@RandyRandyRandy]

You want this guy at the helm? These videos are fuckin lazy. Half assed research, and only big time names. There are better speedrun content creators out there. Go find them

[@RandyRandyRandy]

Unless you can conjure up a real fucking argument as to why its not garbage and lazy, shut the fuck up and get back to your moms basement

[@RandyRandyRandy]

But i suppose a guy who makes terrible quality unoriginal videos on pokemon cards would defend lazy content like this.

[@jarvis1508]

Ryan Lockwood - Streets 1:12 is better. WHAT A RUSH

[@cros108]

NEVER SEEN A 1:13 AND HE NEVER FUCKING WILL

[@dont-feed-ben4833]

BOOM, THE DOUBLE

[@morzanthegod3186]

Jarvis Morris YOU SEE THAT CLUTCHNESS!?!

[@hypnotised-clover]

Jarvis Morris LOOK AT THE FUCKING PACE!

[@frogs482]

Haha I love this so much that video is so funny butnalso motivating in a way idk lol I'm kinda drunk

[@podgemcgrath]

God damn, I was so expecting that 'dun dun' noise from Law & Order: SVU after that guys voice-over.

[@3ngag3]

The story never ends. Cheese reigns again.

[@1gnore_me.]

cheese05 is such a cool guy, he seems really genuine and his drive to improve regardless of what people say is inspiring. congrats to him on an amazing run.

[@benjamincook6321]

Why did you hire Duke to narrate this?

[@ConductorElcrest]

Benjamin Cook Duke needed the cash

[@EMBERFIY]

this was like a proper documentary lmao i loved it shouts out to all the runners involved

[@FuXEndless]

The quality of this video is so good man. The narrator, the footage and all runners talking. Nice job putting this together.

[@blazblueeuopen4566]

RIP apollo you had your flaws but your heart was honestly in speedrunning and in the content you created!

[@FU-FL]

Really well produced video. It's definitely up there as most influential speedruns. Along with the 18:10 OoT record in terms of hype and competition.

[@surebrah3180]

i want the apollo voice back :/

[@pulsar-22]

your editing skill is on point, I enjoy watching these, keep it up!

[@econtadini]

what is the narration? voice change? guest narrator? I like your normal voice apollo

[@TheGaming100]

yea, Apollo is the one who narrated. I love it, but have no idea what it is

[@XFanmarX]

Sick vid. Started watching 2 days ago, think I might subscribe. Keep up the good work.

[@OldsXCool]

At 5:10 he realizes that there is nobody to high five and slaps himself in the face.

[@sneakyguy24]

I like that you want to draw the community in closer with these vids. Keep it up Apollo.

[@SofaSlayer]

Haha when I see Cheese show emotion like that when he gets 1:39, it's makes me cry everytime. I've watched him for a while now and I'm really proud of him. Great video btw. I would love to see more of this type of content for speedrunning.

[@Butanik]

the way you edited this video reminded me heavily at the SSBM documentary. Rly good job

[@djpfarner9670]

I just beat the record with 1:24:35 by starting Mario in second gear

[@TheGaming100]

hi Todd Rogers

[@percher4824]

It's like watching a documentary on TV. Quality video, Apollo! Keep it up man!

[@gamkht]

Really feel like a documentary lol But I enjoyed it, your videos are interesting and have a lot of discussions and info.

[@moth.monster]

I just got a 5.51 with the help of my buddy Todd Rogers

[@TheGaming100]

5.51? Well, what star was it?

[@GoodieM8]

@@TheGaming100 it was the dragstar

[@VimyGlide]

i will never look at cheese the same way ever again

[@FurryWulfz]

This video is pure cheese. Which may or may not have been intended.

[@aliaspseudonym525]

Damn, what an emotional, intense video! Really feels like Cheese is losing himself in this. I feel for him. Thanks for uploading, man!

[@TheNargashadowbeast]

I love how dramatic it makes everything sound like "you could feel the change of emotion in the community" type stuff when really everyone was most likely like oh a new record. Thats cool and went on with their day

[@nice1365]

this video is really well put together.

[@nicolasvignolo7601]

This was uploaded at the same time Sivagunner uploaded a rip of Mario 64

[@gamegalaxyzone7763]

This was really well put together awesome video.

[@spectertheape6612]

they legit need to make a Speedrunning Documentary in the style like the Super Smash Bros Melee Documentary was filmed,this video was amazing!

[@M0NTY47]

I like the documentary style commentary you had in this video with ma boi Goose. Excellent video and props to Cheese for the superb run

[@celestialowl8865]

"CHEESE CONTINUED TO GRIND RELENTLESSLY"

[@lewishulatt8027]

The opening voice scared the shit out of me lol

[@BarakGage]

Your content is amazing please keep it up

[@darkarch757]

I used to watch sig all the time in highschool. then i remember honey randomly showed up and beat sigs records. it crazy seeing what i missed over 4 years or so of not watching these

[@hewholikestodraw]

I really enjoyed the interviews with all of the SM64 speedrunners, and getting Cheese05's own words in here really make this video all the better. However I did miss hearing your voice as the narrator as this is your channel, and your own piece of work. Not that the narrator was bad or anything, it just surprised me when I didn't hear what I thought was you talking.

[@TRKworldwide]

When you watch the video in ejoyment, and then also hear the guitar rif you hear in most documentaries and realize... it's a speedrun shortfilm documentary!

[@McWeaksauce42]

Congrats Cheese! Keep on plugging away!

[@maxdragonsoul5553]

This speedrun must've been VERY optimized, because some speedruns I do, I get records a lot quicker. Goes to show how much work has been put towards SM64 120 Star.

[@damonbaritaud454]

It's not juste the greatest speedrun to my eyes. It's the greatest speedruner. He gives me the passion to watch more and more speedrun with his true talent and perseverance. What a legend.

[@bananr_manr1789]

But did he do it in half an A press?

[@TheGaming100]

120 ABC is currently like over 20 A Presses afaik

[@Moriat70]

Why are mario 64 videos always that laggy?

[@Nightcaat]

Also, streams are... you know, streamed, and you probably won’t always have a stable connection. Edit: Added the word “have” after finally noticing that it should’ve been there. (May 5th, 2018) Edit 2: Electric Boogaloo: I added a comma after the word "also" because it should be there. (July 31st, 2018)

[@GameRoomandReviews]

well, in cheese's 1:39 a ton of people were donating bits so it was showing on the screen and causing lots of lag. earlier in the run it wasn't anywhere near as bad as the end

[@Dougy]

GameRoomandReviews / probably faking it

[@llamaryder1]

Bc the game was made well over a decade ago

[@rogerloess2379]

well done Cheese05 and the documentarian

[@nutmaster652]

64 for 64: *"What if i told you, that one speedrun, could change the history of speedrunning for all of eternity..."*

[@TheGaming100]

thats possible but VERY RARE

[@skylarspeedweed6784]

Congrats, Cheese!!

[@cringlator]

He beat bowser so fast the cake peach had made wasn't even stale yet

[@FakYuhGoogel]

Damn, what kind of madman uses anime channel music from Gex 3 for the end card :D

[@danfire5926]

more like the greatest narrator voice ever

[@iSh0Tu99]

This sound like a professional sports television show. lol.

[@IanPeon]

I like speedrunners, but I'm not jealous of them, due to personal memories too numerous to mention.

[@coachmcguirk6297]

Puncay sounds exactly like chillindude.

[@iLiokardo]

"Batora was this, you know, unknown guy to most of us" "He's the japanese runner, started running again like last year maybe" Shit's going down

[@DuelistRL]

And the current record is also still done by him and it's 29 seconds faster haha. A fucking legend.

[@user-qi6px5xd8v]

The greatest speedrun of all time is still Hotarubi's 0:32 in Super Metroid.

[@jaykebird2go]

This was a really cool video! But I wish that more dates were mentioned. Like, when did Bataro's WR-tying run happen? When did Cheese finally get the sub-1:40? Did days pass, did months pass? Obviously I can look up this info myself, but for a video about this notable event, it'd be cool to have a time frame for it as well. All in all, though, this was pretty cool! I liked it.

[@dinorasanchez70]

"I known to mario, I love mario" same

[@illmatticx]

The seriousness of this video makes me laugh, damnit

[@bigbrimstone]

This was a fucking awesome video, apollo.

[@Brodbrody]

Dragon Ball Speed Runners 64 *Theres like a frickin another great speed runner besting him each second*

[@FolkLaurr]

In speedrunning if you're not first you're last

[@SweatyBallsSuck]

Hey Apollo, great video as always. IMO, you shouldn't mask your voice. The videos feel more genuine without the "movie trailer" voice-over. Also, I really like the audio clips from different runners giving their opinion. Keep it up!

[@maladankussbarthawlamewl7334]

are you gona cover barier skip in wind waker? pretty huge find recently

[@SamwellWK]

When this video has more views than the speedrun itself.

[@The_Essential_Review]

FubakaNG well it is still an hour and 40 min long, lol

[@DLR2230]

"I fahkin ded eht" lmfao

[@dhwwiiexpert]

Cheese05 is Big Smoke's favorite speedrunner.

[@tonypnts]

The music that starts playing at 5:45 is the theme music for my PS4 theme

[@StormySensei]

Since I don't follow SM64 speed running, it took me about half the video to realize the the pictures in the bottom were the guys talking, and not the subject of discussion. Not sure how you could have made this more clear, but just some feedback.

[@domi3457]

tbh the time will come when someone hits that perfect rng run and then this runner will be holding the world record for decades :D

[@Daywalkr]

Holy shit I didn't know Cheese finally got it lol

[@tyler6643]

VildStyle It was grate.

[@999alex9991]

during that time, tool-assisted are doing it in 1h20

[@TanisAnnicchiarico]

You call this the greatest speedrun ever, yet not once did I hear him scream at us that he's AN ABSOLUTE FUCKING LEGEND

[@juanmjx]

That's it. I'm going to start speedrunning

[@animallover4455]

I remember watching that stream. :)

[@thrillhouse4151]

Gotta get accustomed to those HORIS!

[@jamesholter4280]

*Breathing Intensifies*

[@grimreper12345]

Alright special victims unit

[@Mr.Phresh]

He's also had some of the most ridiculous chokes, but he's still the best there ever was. I follow him on twitch.

[@salva1622]

Man, I just saw his 1:39 spedrun a few hours later, what a coincidence

[@DTowensnd21heritage]

he finally did it

[@MSaint]

he may be a FUCKING LEGEND now, just like Ryan Lockwood

[@TrebleWing]

He DID IT!!!

[@mr.whimsic6902]

I wonder if we'll ever get a 1:38:xx, and if so, who will make that record?

[@GameRoomandReviews]

as time comes, it's likely more and more glitches and strat optimizations will come out, but also people will have more attempts in general to get on crazy paces with the current strats, so I can see it happening. plus when sig got his 1:43 only a few years back people said any% was dead, and here we are now with the 1:39 which would've been crazy to say back then. here's to hoping cheese or anyone can make it to 1:38, it would be crazy

[@Wtahc]

Windows U i agree that a 1:38 is well within reach but optimizations are NOT coming out any time soon

[@GameRoomandReviews]

agreed unless new glitches are found, the only major optimization would be on the runner's part for movement

[@GameRoomandReviews]

Suhkma Dheek lol nice name dude

[@Maurice-ck1xp]

Windows U Currently 138 is actually possible, his SoB is 1:37:40 if he ties his gold on every split.

[@OfficialGlitchDoctor]

OK how did you manage to get the framerate perfect around 5:07? Only the game is smooth but Cheese's webcam and timer are lagging. Did he local record or something?

[@LevelZeroToInfinity]

Most speedrunners with high profile World Records WILL record a separate file from the stream in order to ensure that they have the most accurate timing for their record. This is really common with N64 speedrunners in particular.

[@soundrogue4472]

0:03 HOLY SHIT this voice almost made me shit myself. His voice is so deep and booming.

[@Rahat-tw8vg]

NeonRogue he's using a voice changer lol not his real voice

[@soundrogue4472]

ohh...

[@Rahat-tw8vg]

NeonRogue watch his Todd Rogers and Billy Mitchell vids

[@breadleywheatler9242]

I can get 120 star in 1:34:38 blindfolded using a DDR mat as a control pad.

[@1un4cy]

the sceeching microphone audio it hurts!

[@Bodus]

Great video! =)

[@mediocre_gaming_skills]

The narrator at the beginning sounds like the former homeless dude with the golden voice.

[@drako6729]

mediocre gaming skills L

[@rotellam]

Great video!

[@biffit9060]

Tell him watch out for me

[@rhys2040]

awesome vid well done

[@boom-ln5ew]

Do you have any videos on challenge runs ? I’m a big souls player and I’ve been wondering if you have anything like that

[@XadePsyconic]

Miles Watt LobosJR, Otzdarva, and Distortion2 are my picks. The latter is also a fantastic speedrunner.
