Define death in regards to SMB1? Yes if the game is perfected they'll be no WRs... But why would it die? You can instead match it, Beat PRs or... or... see how many times you can match WR over a time spawn then in a row that for how long... Unlike ever other game mentioned SMB1 can remain a popular run for a VERY long time maybe ever.
So I actually really appreciate this question. I tried to stress in the video, and perhaps I could have done so more, that I wasn't using death as a signifying that no one would play SMB1 after someone achieves a perfect time. It was more so playing off the trope that when speedrunners achieve a really good time, they'll say the category or the game is dead. For instance, GreenSuigi said 16 Star is Dead when he set an incredible WR that will probably stand for a while, but in all likelihood will eventually be beaten if enough time is given. With SMB1, if someone matches the Human Theory TAS, there is an incredibly high chance that no one ever beats it; only a new strat or someone redefining what is possible for Humans can lead to a faster time. Again, I want to stress that SBM1 is one of the most incredible communities in speedrunning that only continues to push the meta forward--for instance, the technology being showcased on FlibidyDibidy's channel is nothing short of revolutionary. Its inclusion in this video was a play on achieving perfection both an incredible peak and also an end to a journey.
@@OtherRuns Ah ok yeah you should have just stated that and you have a point... Like some people define dead as "Not the most popular game" In general despite the fact if you can get into the match at any time you want means the game is very alive... But you do have a good point and the video's title is fine in that light it's just you did not state your thesis in the video nore did I or other commenter picked up on it... Still good video I did enjory it.
The thing is for everyone but the MOST dedicated speedrunners it's chasing that WR that drives them forward, the idea that maybe some day they'll stand at the top of the leaderboard not just "trying your best" and hitting PRs. In a game where the world record is all but solved that gives very few people incentive to pick it up and existing runners more incentive to drop it. I'm not saying there aren't people out there that think like you do, but they do not reflect a majority and THAT is what kills a community.
@@sungazercyan The vast majority aren’t so extra virginal that they are out trying to pull WRs. Don’t confuse most normal people for a minority of tryhards on Twitch.
One of the things the TAS community does for real-time runners is find ways to make time-saving techniques easier to execute. The RTA community repays the favor by offering advice on more large-scale issues like planning the best route through an overworld map.
I have performed like a tas bot for a short duration. For me it took many failed attempts and what felt more like an altered state than something I can replicate.
The Runway level in Goldeneye 007 on 00 Agent is a prime example of the World Record run beating TAS. Goldeneye was certainly a pioneer for popularizing speedrunning with it being encouraged in-game to unlock cheats.
Email is never delivered based on the user's date, the delivery server logs the time in UTC and displays it to the end user in their time zone. It would be insane to expect any company to ask the user "what is the time?" and then magically fudge that timestamp into their mail server, this is not how network protocols even work. How this was ever a debate or a question is top-tier gaslighting from a 2nd place runner trying to secure the throne, and incredible incompetence from the community/mods to not understand something as trivial as how email delivery works
This gets complicated when you start talking about webmail though - when the email shows up in the browser, what time does it use? The answer will need to be determined for this specific fly-by-night email server, which is unfortunately probably defunct now.
Okay so somewhat surprisingly that email service is still online. I just deliberately set my clock off by 5 minutes and sent myself an email, and it showed up using the server's time (although my time *zone*). Talking about email delivery is still a red herring, since it is still webmail, but it looks like it does indeed work as described.
Let's just clarify: This video isn't about speedrunning only becoming a memory in the future, it's just saying that older games end up shelved and the best speedrun will be decades old because nobody can compete, and with a ton of new technology, people don't care much about the older games anymore for the most part. The only people who dare to challenge old records are casual players who want to challenge themselves. It'll happen with Nuzlockes too. In the past, Nuzlockes weren't hardcore, just getting through one with two Pokemon alive was a miracle. Nowadays, there are so many Kazio-strength difficulty variants of Pokemon Nuzlockes that nobody remembers how the early ones went. Eventually, people will get bored of Nuzlockes and try to do Pokemon challenges that break your soul. I accidentally woke up to see Spikevegeta fail an IRON MON NUZLOCKE, THE MOST CHALLENGING NUZLOCKE EVER. When these challenges get so dull that you have to put a 1-hit badge on them, then chances are you are burned out of Pokemon and should retire it temporarily, until Generation 10. :(
It's that feeling that the people whom grew up with titles from the 1980s are the ones whom keep it alive from being forgotten. Nowadays, gamers are growing up in the mobile/multiplayer aspect, those from the 2000s onward, and the sucky part is, they see stuff from the 1990s and before as retro and old, even though they were once great games for the time being. So I totally get where you're coming from. I can't imagine what it would be like in 2050 if we still run these games compared to the 2020s and before.

This was a very good video in terms of making different points and relating it back to speedrunning. Learned some things about other topics (like memento mori) that I never heard of, very well made 👍
It was a punch to the gut when one of my favorite speed games was used as the first example of a dead game lol. I think speedruns often have 2 types of communities, runners and viewers. I've watched and attempted runs of BFBB, but I only watch runs of Gran Turismo, and I only play runs of Devil Pie. I think it's possible for a game to be "dead" in terms of runners, but still have a loyal stream community (and vice versa).
this interactive example of hitting a one frame window is one of the best things i’ve ever seen in a speed running commentary video, and i watch a lot of speed running commentary videos. well done.
As an SMB1 runner myself, this video was a great watch. Please keep making stuff like this! I really enjoy video essays about speedrunning, especially when they touch on subjects I'm quite familiar with.
I feel like oot is kind of similar. I watched Narcissa and others play that game everyday and when she had her famous “any% is dead” I hit that fatigue. When I went back years later the run was unrecognizable and the community had made a new classic category I think it was called. That run had such a satisfying play through that the new developments made it not as enjoyable to watch anymore.
You know that’s funny you start the video off like that because I’ve actually known about Billy Murray for years and I even own one of his records on 78. The song I have a copy of is in pretty bad condition but I haven’t been able to find it anywhere else online. I uploaded it a while back but it’s interesting because it’s like my own little piece of lost media that I was able to find.
This channel is going places man. Such high quality content up there with summoning salt. Please keep up the good work. I've noticed most speedrunning youtubes focus on a couple of certain games and I much prefer this approach of looking at little case studies in speedrunning!
i was doing the 1f pausing thing for fun and i kept pausing on a frame where theres just the black circle, i had to check with frame by frame advance and i noticed a couple of the cycles appear as having no circle at all instead of the full green circle on the last frame, wich could be a little missleading. otherwise its a cool idea.
Didn't even see the green circles on that interactive part, wound it back and ended up hitting every single one in a row out of dumb luck. Pretty innovative concept for a video, I'll subscribe as you didn't shove it down my throat in the first 20 seconds.
The thing about zombies is that speedrunning was never the most popular way of playing it ‘competitively’ if you go for a place on the high round leaderboards you are faced with the exact opposite of a speedrun where u have a set amount of time and try to get as far into the game as possible
This is simply the nature of art. There are works from more than a thousand years ago we retain physically and in our history and conversation, there are works generated now that will continue to be valued by new people. The process of creating these persistent works is the mass generation of art by every person capable and willing, the vast vast majority of whom will never create anything worth remembering, but to assume that no one else will ever create a piece of art that is worthwhile to multiple generations again is to ignore human nature.
Hey, I wanted to say good work on the video! As an SMB1 runner I can admit that the world record is extremely close to perfection, and it would be really unlikely that it is beaten by anyone except for Niftski, Miniland or Nebula. After a lot of work, I was only able to get my sum of best to 4:54.831 (2 frames slower than WR) That being said, I don’t think that means the game is dead. The community is still really active when it comes to the sheer quantity of people getting better at the game every day. So far over 130 people have gotten a 4:57, which is what I would consider the benchmark to becoming good at any%. As the community goes on, I’m sure there’ll be some great things coming soon 😯
as a ex-runner It’s really true when some games gets stuck or die, some examples I ever had it’s Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Colors Ultimate: with Sonic Unleashed went the downfall of speedrunning because of the Next Gen Consoles (XSX/PS5) because it has a consistent frames with the advantage of 60fps of the game and for Colors Ultimate also has the same case but it’s like BFBBR but instead of 146 is at 144fps capped and 30fps advantages and disadvantages for the Switch, PC, and others to get a better time for the runs
Until humanity will lose interest into speedrunning fully, speedrunning is not dead, and won't be. Some old games can die out, but there are a lot of new games will appear, making speedrunning alive again. So, speedrunning is still alive and interesting.
Alright, I just found this channel and was pretty sure I was gonna subscribe anyway, but that dub over the salty spittoon just made the choice for me lmao. That was great, glad I found this :D
I've heard of John McCormack that did his own cover of It's a Long Way to the Tipperary, I actually have a surreal mix of the song on my channel but I didn't know about Billy Murray at all also I like the vid you posted here so I decided to sub to you man keep it up also Billy Murray sounds like he was the early 1900s version of a UA-camr selling out to Raid Shadow Legends or Raycons lol
About the NES controller at the end and about Niftski... he's using a keyboard, not a (NES) controller :) But yeah, the point is that it's almost impossible to beat SMB1 any% even faster. And I agree. No matter if you're using a controller or a keyboard. But I still love to watch these speedruns! At least for some games :)
When you mentioned Billy Murray, I remember hearing about that artist when I was looking into older artists from the early to mid 20th century, so hearing the name Billy Murray clicked in me, considering I might have listened to one of his songs at some point in my life while looking through UA-cam. But yeah, much like anything in life, only the popular and most talked about stuff will ALWAYS be the ones recorded, preserved and archived, with the others being left or forgotten to time, not realizing that the past can always influence us in ways that the future or even the present just can't recapture. It always interesting to see a gamecube, ps2, and xbox 2001 game Battle for bikini bottom, a game released 20 years ago, still being played today, is just one of those games that have stood the test of time up until it fals into its own demise... The thing is, we will always get to that limit, and this is the phrase I say every time to myself. On earth, it can only provide so much at the same time until we hit a limit, where as the afterlife, anything can happen and it's unlimited.
@@G-R-A-F-F I agree that it jumps around topics a lot, but I found it interesting in my opinion. There are games that get too optimized or simplified that sort of "kill" the speed run WR hype for it. I wish there was more details/depth on stuff like that than Club Penguin dead meme runs and CoD zombies costing money.
Judging by the fact that both me and my brother separately found you today, I think the algorithm is about to be very fruitful for you. Also your video quality is way better than your sub number. Kept it up
BFBB Rehydrated was never going to stick around lol. It was broken and rushed on purpose. It focused too hard on courting the speedrunning crowd with wow factor glitches, when speedrunners don't need to be so pandered to. THQ Nordic is also a really weird company, and not one I'd ever buy a game off of. I think games shouldn't be buggy on purpose to pander. Its not interesting. . It also reminds me of pokemon SD/BP. On the day those games came out, a glitch hunter named RETIRE came out with a fascinating video outlining ACE discovery in the original D/P games. And it was completely overshadowed by BD/SP being broken games lol, but not broken in an interesting or compelling way. ACE in DP is interesting. A broken cash grab isn't.
I hadn't heard of the leaderboards for Rehydrated getting wiped, since I mostly follow the original bfbb. What happened with that? Why? Is there a video on it?
He explained it in the video. The redid the rules so people would have to cap their frame rate at 60 fps. And since none of the runs abided by that they wiped it.
SMB1 is a game that is old and optimized, but it shown a remarkable resistance to exploitation. Very few games are built this well and therefore allow for the human speedrun to be this close to the TAS run. For starters there is no known way to push Mario beyond his natural top speed. Not even in a TAS run. You can just make him reach this top speed a little faster (hence 'fast acceleration') but the limit is not crossable. This is already different from majority of games, where main speed technique is just moving faster than you normally can.
Define death in regards to SMB1? Yes if the game is perfected they'll be no WRs... But why would it die? You can instead match it, Beat PRs or... or... see how many times you can match WR over a time spawn then in a row that for how long...

But yeah, much like anything in life, only the popular and most talked about stuff will ALWAYS be the ones recorded, preserved and archived, with the others being left or forgotten to time, not realizing that the past can always influence us in ways that the future or even the present just can't recapture.
It always interesting to see a gamecube, ps2, and xbox 2001 game Battle for bikini bottom, a game released 20 years ago, still being played today, is just one of those games that have stood the test of time up until it fals into its own demise...
The thing is, we will always get to that limit, and this is the phrase I say every time to myself.
On earth, it can only provide so much at the same time until we hit a limit, where as the afterlife, anything can happen and it's unlimited.
This video is shockingly well made
I disagree, it’s disjointed and uninteresting
@@G-R-A-F-F I agree that it jumps around topics a lot, but I found it interesting in my opinion. There are games that get too optimized or simplified that sort of "kill" the speed run WR hype for it. I wish there was more details/depth on stuff like that than Club Penguin dead meme runs and CoD zombies costing money.
I’m surprised he knew the exact inputs for 8-B first room lol I only figured that out a bit ago
It's always the channels with 3K - 20K subscribers that upload the best videos
@@BasicRock123 Ong tho, that’s how u know they have the most passion for it. They make it for the community rather than money.
Judging by the fact that both me and my brother separately found you today, I think the algorithm is about to be very fruitful for you.
Also your video quality is way better than your sub number. Kept it up
my doctor advised me not to have bowls of 1-frame speed running tricks without practice for breakfast.
this was a problem already 20 years ago.
BFBB Rehydrated was never going to stick around lol. It was broken and rushed on purpose. It focused too hard on courting the speedrunning crowd with wow factor glitches, when speedrunners don't need to be so pandered to. THQ Nordic is also a really weird company, and not one I'd ever buy a game off of.
I think games shouldn't be buggy on purpose to pander. Its not interesting.
.
It also reminds me of pokemon SD/BP. On the day those games came out, a glitch hunter named RETIRE came out with a fascinating video outlining ACE discovery in the original D/P games. And it was completely overshadowed by BD/SP being broken games lol, but not broken in an interesting or compelling way. ACE in DP is interesting. A broken cash grab isn't.
Great vid as always guys
Breakdown has been dead since it started. And we still dyin B)
Billy Murray: I recorded the most songs of any human ever
Buckethead: Hold my KFC bucket
I wonder when SMB2, SMB3, SMW and even SM64 will get to the point of being so optomized that there will be MERE FRAMES LEFT.
Bismuth I love how you’ve watched that video🔥
Blackface segueing into Luigi's Mansion 3 certainly caught me off guard
I love the Kingdom Hearts music you used in this!
I actually have heard the name bill murray before but I have no idea where from
If I could time travel to the future, one of the first things I'd do is check how low some of these speedrun times can get like a decade later.
Amazing video! Shoutouts to the warriors that attempt to speedrun / practice Luigi's Mansion 3.
I got exactly one pause on the green circle. I'm actually pretty proud of that.
truth or square and the movie spongebob games could prolly have some hidden depth because they are clearly built off bfbb
"imagine a bus" is a legendary analogy by now haha
This is an amazing video, good work!
honestly i might learn to speedrun smb1 just as a party trick. like yeah watch me beat mario in 5 mins lmao
Damn, bro really shat and pissed on a dead man just so he could transition into talking about Luigis Mansion.
I hadn't heard of the leaderboards for Rehydrated getting wiped, since I mostly follow the original bfbb.
What happened with that? Why? Is there a video on it?
He explained it in the video. The redid the rules so people would have to cap their frame rate at 60 fps. And since none of the runs abided by that they wiped it.
SMB1 is a game that is old and optimized, but it shown a remarkable resistance to exploitation. Very few games are built this well and therefore allow for the human speedrun to be this close to the TAS run.
For starters there is no known way to push Mario beyond his natural top speed. Not even in a TAS run. You can just make him reach this top speed a little faster (hence 'fast acceleration') but the limit is not crossable. This is already different from majority of games, where main speed technique is just moving faster than you normally can.
i got the 1 frame pause 3 times in a row. Guess i gotta get into spreedrunning now.
They'll just change categories, it's happened in a bunch of other games.
This channel just spits out masterpiece after masterpiece keep it up
Hi speedy
@@sharpieman2035 ayyyy
Feels like an emplemon video. I like it
Lmao the huge "most replayed" spike right around the one frame green circle
LOOK THERE I AM GARY THERE I AM! 7:05
I started speedrunning mario after the darbian wave (after his WR video went viral on youtube)
Fascinating story at the beginning.
First try 1 frame
“IM READY!!!”
The salty spitoon edit fucking killed me 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is pretty great. Nice video homie
Damn, I was able to hit the green circle 5 times in a row. Maybe I should start speed running.
That introduction was so good
