It's so fascinating to see the skill floor rise in these highly competitive speedruns. At the beginning you can mess up movement and miss a Bowser throw. By the end, mess up even the simplest thing and you're out of the running.

[@Eye_Of_Odin978]

Optimization is a b%tch like that lol Once runs get highly optimized, they're almost frame-perfect by the end. By the time a game's SpeedRun comm has matured, there's almost no room for error at all. It's crazy, and why I've never gotten into running myself.

[@menderbug1]
