I remember finally breaking the 22-minute barrier on warpless as a kid and thinking I was one of the best players in the world. And for the 1990s, maybe I was. But 18:54 is not a time I ever imagined was possible. Absolutely insane run, congrats on the WR.
Tbf, actual speedrunners use glitchs that can be discovered only by reverse engineering. Considering you did it without any outside information of the game mechanics or tips, 22 minutes is a great achievemwnt
@@axelsanchez5849 you could still get a low 19 time quite reasonably without glitches, they aren’t as big of a deal in warpless (at least at the human level). The real impressive achievement of getting a 22 in the 90s would be doing it without proper practice tools like save states.
@ In 2005 the registered wr was low 21 by AndrewG. Low 19 was achieved by Japenese players in 2010. I know there’s a lot of “ungeregistered” speedruns from the first two decades of SMB1, but I highly doubt someone could do what actual speedrunners achieved only by 2010.
Ladies and gentlemen, he is (unless there’s some really obscure history) the first person to break 2 55 barriers Jokes aside, I remember watching AndrewG’s 19:40 4 years ago and thinking “that’s insane! I feel like doing that in under 19 minutes would be impossible!” And here I am now, watching someone get 5 seconds under what my 8 year old self would have deemed impossible. You are the GOAT Niftski! Keep it up!
DUDE WHAT A FREAKIN RUN! The fact you keep your nerve when your heart was almost constantly above 170+ and peaked at like 184 is massively insane!! Idk how you do it, but it was amazing nonetheless! GG and WP man you should be proud of yourself on such a feat! You’re a god tier SMB player bro wow!!
Niftski you do not get nearly enough recognition for your talent dedication and perseverance. congrats yet again for another magnificent record. keep it up!!!
Siendo alguien que jugó mucho este juego, me impresiona como lograste pasarte los niveles incluso sacrificando tiempo con los powerups! Gran SpeedRun! Felicidades! Edit: Epic Flagpole Cancel in The 8-2 God Damn...
en realidad no sacrifica tiempo, lo que hace es una estrategia para que al vencer a los bowser de cada nivel no hay un tiempo de caida del puente que hacen perder tiempo, en cambio si aniquilas al bowser de cada -4 , no hay necesidad de que el puente se rompa, asi ahorra tiempo, mas que sacrificar es estrategia y parte del speedrun. te aseguro que si no agarra esos powerups imposible hacer el wr, perderia mucho en cada final de cada nivel
Не перестаю удивляться новым рекордам. Чего уж тут улучшать?! Тем не менее это постоянно происходит. Лайк рекордсмену. I never cease to be amazed at new records. What is there to improve? However, this happens all the time. Like the record holder.
Niftski: bowser pls. Also Niftski but literally 5 sec later: YESSSSS!! 18:54!! WOAAAAH!! YESSSS!!! LETS GOOOOOOO!! That’s like me when I got a minesweeper pb, when I got my 8 sec intermediate game a few days ago I literally screamed like you haha
I like warpless speedruns way more then any%. I played a lot of SMB Deluxe on my GameBoy Color as a kid, so I've spent a lot of time exploring every level looking for the red coins and Yoshi eggs. Not all levels are very memorable, but I love that they're all shown.
That has nothing to do with framerules. If you have a mushroom and push down+A while on a platform in a swimming level, your hit box shrinks to that of small Mario's.
One can really tell, u know this game in and out. Not just because of the obvious perfect movement, but the way u shoot the enemys. U already start shooting and have some double and triple kills before the enemys even appear on the screen 😃 6:37 double fun
i do a trick in water section there called "crouch swimming" where i land on the ground briefly while holding down. the game thinks mario is airborne, and mario doesn't have a "crouching while swimming" sprite, so as long as the firebars don't touch the bottom of mario, the top half of him can easily pass through the firebars since it doesn't have a hitbox. i am able to kill some of the bowsers in 3-4 fireballs because bowser has 2 hitboxes, and by shooting the fireball very specifically into both hitboxes, it causes double damage.
What's going on with the opening of 6-4 around 13:37? It looks like Mario is sliding/gliding.. looks like that's the only -4 where it happens. It's a trick I've never seen!
at the beginning of the level, i buffer a jump at the start in order to get a more favorable bowser direction / hammer pattern. whenever you buffer a jump at the start of a level with fire mario, he will "skate" like that for a few seconds before his sprite corrects
the people in chat at about 1:30 are so funny - talking about how "he's not the king of mario" and "he's obviously cheating" Btw what emulator do you use?
SMB timing is practically a science now, so if he's super knowledgable about it, he may have guessed correctly at which frame the run would end. Especially as Niftski was playing super consistently.
@@thisisfynegiven the route he was doing, there was really only a range of 15 or so frames he could’ve finished, assuming he didn’t lose the run to something. i just picked a frame at random and got lucky or im a time traveler, you’ll never know…
can someone please explain to me why did Mario not get hurt in 8-4 neither by the fire balls underwater nor by going through bowser's arrows at the end?
@elrit6 sorry I do not understand...there are just mario and bowser...where are the too many objects? Do you meant browsers flying arrows? They are always a lot but I was always hurt by them
In the water if you press ↓+A at the same time when standing on the ground, you can swim while crouching to. Since there are no graphics for this, Mario just looks like he's swimming normally while his Hitbox is small due to him crouching. With Bowser, he throws so many projectiles at you that the game can sometimes forget to check if Mario is touching them. Even then, the projectiles are way smaller than their graphics, so it's easy to slip by if you know the right way through
Where are possible places for FPG's and FFPG's in waprless speedruns? (And yes, the BBG, too, is actually a FFPG.) What does depend on whether you get lag frame or not? "No lag, again..." On some occasions you got lag frame while doing BBG.
you can FPG in every level and FFPG in only some levels. the most viable FFPG at the moment is most likely 2-1 because it saves the most amount of time and also is the earliest in the run. lagframe on BBG is controllable by having a specific score range.
The total time for this WR is interesting. It is only 60 frames faster than the old Warpless TAS from the end of 2004, which clocked in at 18;55.862. 60 frames is just shy of the frame rate (60.0988 fps), so it's 1 frame shy of being "a full second" faster than the old TAS. Next WR will be able to boast "a full second better" than the old TAS. Lol.
you get 5000 from grabbing the top of the flagpole, but in some levels where the framerule is more lenient and doesn't require you to grab the top of the flagpole, i grab the bottom for fun

Also you uploaded this on my channel’s 2nd anniversary 🎉
Crazy that niftski keeps setting records and we’re here in the right time to see it
I see you eberywhere
@@GatuhAbazagh-rs2un I’m everywhere?
@YellowBlue3x3yeah ur eberywhere
Incredible. Just incredible. I remember when Kosmic made an 18:54 human theory run and now it’s real. Congrats!
The New Era of Warpless has begun!! GGs on breaking the old Human Theory TAS of 18:54.99!!
why do you love breaking the 55 second barrier so much
cause he's niftski
niftskButter
just wait until he gets a 54 in 11x any%
Cause this funny nomber
wait he also got first 6:54 in walkathon i believe
Awesome speedrun. You're really bringing SMB speedrunning into a new level. Congrats on new WR!
😮
Not only SMB. He is also bringing BPM into the next level xd
I just finished watching your tas video before this!
This is so exciting to see another second barrier go down in Warpless. Congrats man! Looking forward to seeing how much lower this will go!
DUDE WHAT A FREAKIN RUN! The fact you keep your nerve when your heart was almost constantly above 170+ and peaked at like 184 is massively insane!! Idk how you do it, but it was amazing nonetheless! GG and WP man you should be proud of yourself on such a feat! You’re a god tier SMB player bro wow!!
I literally joined the stream at the last 5 minutes of the run, best decision ever :)
Well done Niftski, you truly are the king of SMB!
DAMNNNN BOY. I can't believe to took you only 3 days to get 18:54 and day 1 and 2 both have 18:54 paces to world 8. Amazing work Niftski
shoutout the guy in chat at 16:11 for getting the time exactly correct lmao
Goated. Seeing you play in-person was amazing. Congratulations and I know you're gonna push this even further!
huge gg, you're insane for using this route but this makes it even more impressive that you got it lol
Niftski you do not get nearly enough recognition for your talent dedication and perseverance. congrats yet again for another magnificent record. keep it up!!!
Daaaamn bro 4-4 was soooo flawless o_O Congrats on the WR! Crazy stuff! That reaction at the end was genuine af!
7:50 that is so good, the fire synced with the music. You must be good at playing music xD
This was incredible to watch.
Summoningsalt sent me here from 3 years ago.
The dedication is evident, it is amazing. Congratulations!
Still picking my jaw up from the floor. Congrats on this bonkers achievement!
I knew it ! I was on stream yesterday, but I say that i need to go soon, so I miss a new WR :(
But congrats as always, this one is HUGE
Jesus. It felt like yesterday I saw Kosmic get sub-19. And here we are with Niftski the OG Mario GOAT with a sub-55. AGAIN 💀😂
Jesus. It felt like yesterday I saw Kosmic get sub-19. And here we are with Niftski the OG Mario GOAT with a sub-55. AGAIN 💀😂
Let's gooo! Niftski's back with another sub 55!
Niftski about to casually stroll in the new era of warpless
GG to you man it was shocking me when i saw the title and i was like wtf
Here to see this after watching Summoning Salt's video again. Hell of a run!
Cant say i understand most of whats happening but it is still super cool
so imagine a bus picking someone up at a bus stop...

all bowser kills are perfect now, so the only improvements over this run are from doing more flagpole glitches
A new era! Only fpgs, full fpgs, and 8-4 frames (and tas 8-2 lol) to be implemented from now =] GG!
Your consistency is nuts man, GG
Niftski: bowser pls.
Also Niftski but literally 5 sec later: YESSSSS!! 18:54!! WOAAAAH!! YESSSS!!! LETS GOOOOOOO!!

what a great run!! congratulations man
Damn congrats bro, absolutely insane run
That was intense! Great run dude!
Congratulations!! An incredible accomplishment by an incredible gamer.
Not gonna lie, when you got BBG, i felt like i was 'bout to faint.
But, congrats on breaking another 55 barrier.
A new era of warpless has started.
How is it possible that this living legend only has this many subs???
Сongratulations, Niftski!
Congratulations on the great run!

Niftski comes back to get a *64* frame WR, GG!
frame 64
yelir64
I think Niftski is the king of Mario! Who’s with me? :)
Niftski is the SMB GOAT, and its also (imo) the most prestigious set of records in all of speedrunning.
Congratulations.
utterly INCREDIBLE
At 15:55, joeth3br0 predicts the future in chat.
😉
was cool to watch this live
THATS WHY HE IS THE GOAT!
THE GOAT!
GGs MAN!
It's like watching a TAS
Btw Niftski, we all know you are amazing even with a controller...but you have inspired me to try with keyboard 😅
How you did take advantage of those frame rules to not get hit by those fire bars while swimming through them, is just mind blowing.
That has nothing to do with framerules. If you have a mushroom and push down+A while on a platform in a swimming level, your hit box shrinks to that of small Mario's.
Congratulations bro❤
19:31 I knew you were gonna pop off, but not like this... Super GG
NEW ERA OF WARPLESS
I approve of getting the 54 as many times as possible
4-4 blew my mind
Amazing run bro!
One can really tell, u know this game in and out. Not just because of the obvious perfect movement, but the way u shoot the enemys. U already start shooting and have some double and triple kills before the enemys even appear on the screen 😃 6:37 double fun
It's a new fucking Era yall!! Niftski is the top dog
Even the audio is shaking their bitrate excited LOL
Huh. Guess I was off by two days lol. For real though nice job! Can’t wait for a sub 18:50 lol.
GG congrats 🎉🎉❤❤❤
thats insane. congrats+!
HR Monitor: How are you alive rn?
Congrats bro🎉
warpless is so ridiculous now 💀 holy crap
and it doesn't even feel that long ago kosmic was trying to break the 19 barrier
GG dude. Basically all we got left is fpgs now. Time for Mid 454?!
Another second barrier broken in warpless, congrats man. 18:53 soon hopefully.
the most impressive plat of the run is when the person in chat predicts the time he gets at the end 16:11
For whatever reason, I like the audio glitch.
19:18 to 19:25 how did you not get hit by those 3 fire rods? And how are you killing all the bowsers with 3 fireballs instead of 5?
i do a trick in water section there called "crouch swimming" where i land on the ground briefly while holding down. the game thinks mario is airborne, and mario doesn't have a "crouching while swimming" sprite, so as long as the firebars don't touch the bottom of mario, the top half of him can easily pass through the firebars since it doesn't have a hitbox. i am able to kill some of the bowsers in 3-4 fireballs because bowser has 2 hitboxes, and by shooting the fireball very specifically into both hitboxes, it causes double damage.
long explanation short: holding down makes your hitbox smaller
tell ‘em to bring out the whole ocean
I'm in this one!
What's going on with the opening of 6-4 around 13:37? It looks like Mario is sliding/gliding.. looks like that's the only -4 where it happens. It's a trick I've never seen!

Awesome! GG

what a legend
I think niftski is the king of mario! 😄who's with me?
“So why do you want to make the game 50x harder?”
“Because I’m bored” 😂😂😂
Congrats!!!
joethebro called his goddamn shot 16:07

Congratulation For This Amazing World Record ! 😸 🐙 🦑 👻 🙈
the people in chat at about 1:30 are so funny - talking about how "he's not the king of mario" and "he's obviously cheating"
Btw what emulator do you use?
The crazy thing is that with the warp zone it takes 4 minutes to pass, and without it it takes 18 minutes
Yeah!
16:07 how did he know about the time before the run was finished
Time traveler. Only possible way.
SMB timing is practically a science now, so if he's super knowledgable about it, he may have guessed correctly at which frame the run would end. Especially as Niftski was playing super consistently.
@@thisisfyne normally I would agree with you but he acted so certain of it. It was like it wasn’t even a guess and he was sure
@@Sir.C Confidence is key my dude! Nah I agree that it's kinda weird, but then again these things must happen once in a while..

Enhorabuena! ❤
Bro didn't even crouch jump to get through the Bowser hammers. That's disrespectful.
can someone please explain to me why did Mario not get hurt in 8-4 neither by the fire balls underwater nor by going through bowser's arrows at the end?
when there are too many objects rendered at once, not all of them have their collisions calculated for performance reasons
@elrit6 sorry I do not understand...there are just mario and bowser...where are the too many objects? Do you meant browsers flying arrows? They are always a lot but I was always hurt by them
