      Speedrunners are determined. In a few more decades they'll be beating games before they're even ideas in the creator's mind.
      "How is exactly 0 frames an improvement?" Because the other method requires less effort or training to learn/execute. Getting the same completion time for less button presses *IS* an improvement, even if it isn't applicable to the leaderboards.

    3. Niftski holds the current record with a time of 4.54.798 and he’s had it for almost a year

      Tbh, this game's perfect speedrun (as in, the TAS which aims to complete the game as fast as possible under any circumstance) is a pretty clean run, playing *almost* as intended by the developer. Some fast accel's and FPG's here and there, few incorrect warps - that's about it. This is nowhere close to speed runs that completely break the game and go out of bounds all the time such as Half-Life 2 or instances such as Oblivion / Morrowind / GTA San Andreas (skipping the entire god damn campaign!)
      SMB speedun still needs to play all the levels that a normal player would do to beat the game quickly. No glitchy skips there. Mario64 was much glitchier in that regard, as players gradually discovered ways to beat the game with less and less stars (out of 70 that is originally required). They brought this down to 30, then to 16, then to just 1 and finally to 0.

Do you think the smb1 mods are a bunch of idiots? Do you think the other speedruners who respect lekukie and use his setups are also idiots?

      Competitive speedrunning really do be like that. Any minor optimization at the endgame, taken to its limit, leads to a borderline unbeatable gap of the tiniest of proportions.
