    Nice video on an awesome achievement. The reason why Andrew didn’t go for the bullet bill glitch is explained in summoningsalt’s video of this game from a few years ago. You need to get the bullet to shoot at a specific time and it was thought to be random, but Saradoc found out that these patterns weren’t random and were influenced by what framerule you enter the level in. So he waited on the title screen for a bit to get a good pattern and did the run

  • @Kosmicd12
    @Kosmicd12 3 роки тому +4730

    5:08 there are two main reasons. One was that the bullet shot is rng based, and using framerule routes to get consistent patterns was pretty new at the time (I started using it for warpless in mid to late 2013). In order to do the trick, you'd need to find a consistent setup for the bullet to shoot, and learn how to consistently execute the trick.
    Also, and I'm not sure about Andrewg, but I was under the impression that the trick only saved 0.35 instead of 0.7 back then. All that on top of the fact that neither I nor Andrew had the savestate capabilities for practice that we do now, it made more sense to just keep pushing for the 4:57 method that we already knew was possible before messing with that more. Blubbler using emulator to figure out the bbg setup really helped with that advancement.

    Andrew G walked so they could run. That man deserves a separate video tbh as not only in Super Mario bros but also in Super Mario Bros 2, he optimized the speedruns by finding many starts and inspired other speedrunners as well. The same goes for Darbian as well, Absolute legends.

  • @AndrewgSpeedruns
    @AndrewgSpeedruns 3 роки тому +1304

    My logic behind not using the bullet bull glitch was this:
    In order to get the bullet to shoot consistently I would have to get there on the exact same frame each time. However, since you have to slow down the clear the piranha mid-stage this seemed completely luck-based. Even if I could find a framerule that worked, since I needed to slow down, I figured it wouldn't be consistent. It turned out that you only needed to be within a set number of frames for it to work (it was much more lenient than 1 exact frame)... I figured it worked like Bowser where he moves differently every single frame depending on when you arrive.

      That wouldn't work. Whatever you use to measure the elapsed time would have it's own time sped up by exactly the same amount. And measuring a run performed in deep space with a clock on Earth would be cheating (although to even get a measurable difference you'd need a highly advanced atomic clock because Earths' gravity well is, relatively speaking, extremely weak).

      Short runs are the most difficult to get a WRs on, because there is absolutely no room for errors. In this run in particular one has to play TAS like, performing frame perfect tricks one after the other. I remember one time AndrewG was about to get a new WR, he stepped on the floor for like a frame entering the pipe on the water section of the last level. It looked completely fine to me, but it cost him the WR. While with a much longer game, it's just impossible to play TAS like through the whole run. So if you're really talented at a new game that takes hours to beat, a relatively new person who has natural talent at the particular game could pick it up and one day get WR relatively quickly.Actually, the best example might be a game like DOOM. Individual levels are incredibly optimized, but you're not going to see a full game run of DOOM that ties all the individual world records, and that gives the full game runs a lot more room for improvement.

      Second - he's isn't just playing Mario - at all times through the run he IS Mario. Meaning Mario's peril IS the players peril.
      Lastly - attempting a speed run in any game is stress inducing. Knowing you have to have a perfect game with no faults. Knowing that it's one tiny mistake and that's a whole run gone, starting over. Also knowing that while they sit alone, their world is watching them just to add a little more pressure. It would raise suspicion if his heart rate weren't so high. It's one of the proofs people use to show they aren't miming a TAS.

    UA-cam: how many ads you want?
    Karl Jobst: Yes

      UA-cam changed their rules a while back. Not all adds are split with the UA-camr when UA-cam saturates a video with adds. Not sure why they think people are going to voluntarilly watch that many adds since you can move the video to just after most adds and they remove, then watch the video from the start. Also most seem to have gone on this one.

      With Windows XP! Looks like AndrewG got a 4:59 instead of Windows 7 for a Christmas present, and he didn't like operating systems that are later than Windows XP, like Blubbler's Windows Vista, darbian's Windows 7, Kosmic's Windows 8.1, and Niftski's Windows 10.

    I like the Suicide Mission soundtrack in the background ;)
    It's pretty crazy how fast a player can beat Super Mario. When there is talk of a 4.54, it is almost at the limit of what a human player can achieve. Quite the achievement, and a record to behold

    Mass Effect 2's "Suicide Mission" playing in the background. Love it. One of the greatest games soundtracks ever.
