now thats wide screen
I needed MORE SPACE!
And even so poor AndrewG fell off it. You need to go wider still :)
Hehe he
Respect legend
Saradoc fell off it in last room
It's really cool to see all of these second barriers side by side. Very nice video!

Hi
Personally my favorite part about these comparisons is watching the little, insignificant differences between the runs, like at 1:58 , the 4-2 warpzone is incredibly straightforward and simple to do, yet essentially all of the runners do it differently, for no reason other than personal preference, I love it
Some of the differences come down to framerules. If you are 6 frames short of saving a framerule, you can play it very safely. If you have no frames to spare at all (e.g. Niftski's 8-1) you have to go for the riskiest strategies.
Yeah like how Niftski always drops down on the Koopa in 8-1 that's between the two 2-block tall pillars.
@@squarewaterlemon6564 I believe that's subpixel manipulation. Same as the decision to hit (or not hit) the box that contains the star.
@@sirgog No it’s not
@@jatloe guys he said it's what he believes! Don't question the man's faith. Some believe the earth is flat. Others that one mario trick is actually another. Can't we all just get along and stop with the religious persecution?!
Wow. I don't know how you did it, but it's technically impressive! Great video.
You should binge watch this channel. There are nice explanations!
(Also, thank you for the legendary TASs)
Technically impressive - the best kind of impressive
You're channel is a little bit taste of everything
@@blamingskill1146 Oh sorry that I'm not a native English speaker. :p
@@blamingskill1146 OK.
when the camera goes in the pipe before AndrewG
**sad AndrewG noises**
Honestly though, the coolest part of the video is knowing that AndrewG entered the first pipe first.
3:25 is also A+ with AndrewG just walking in the castle wondering what the other 4 are doing!
ITS TOO SLOW!!
they did andrewg dirty :(
Entering the castle? Nobody has time for that!
I like how Andrew is the only guy to get into the castle at 8-2
"Are those others ok, they're just walking mindlessly into the base of the pole?"
He suddenly took the lead! Which was surprising because he was clearly behind in every other run. Then the machine cheated him!
@@davidolsen1222 you are kidding right? The bullet bill glitch is faster, Andrew G however doesn't think so but this video proves him wrong.
@@KellanGDM Yes. I am very obviously kidding. Like flashing light levels or sarcasm.
@@KellanGDM lmao 😂 u need to reset your antenna for sarcasm mate

@@SayAhh nah sooner
Fancy seeing you here
My favorite parts are differences that are actually completely trivial and don't save time, but show runners' senses of humor, even through the grind for a good time. For instance, at 1:14, for literally no (apparent) reason, Kosmic and AndrewG both decide to hit the 1-Up block in 4-1 just for fun. It really goes to show that these runs are playthroughs done by real people, each of which has a different approach to the game, even if their ultimate strategy is the same.
I love how Niftski jumps a lot during the levels, just because
@@Eli-tq2xe I think it makes him faster jumping under rows of boxes quickly.
bro it's just a jump
@@EikottXD no
TASers have even more fun playing the game
Congrats to Niftski, history has been made!
Yes
Stop following me twow goime cary guy
@@RubyPiec No

KorZen lol
Love seeing Niftski's slight lead after the fast accel at the start of 8-1!
It's crazy how much of a difference a few seconds can make, you feel bad for Andrew G by the end cause he isn't even reaching the warpzones before Niftski has moved on
You don't even see him in 8-3 until right at the end
There are 10 frame rules at play. I'll mention them here, for those interested:
8-1 Star sub-pixel was missed by AndrewG here; "Saradoc" got it.
8-2 BBG- is two frame rules saved; "Saradoc" got this to take a 3 frame rule lead over AndrewG.
1-1 FPG added by Darbian.
4-1 FPG added by Darbian, to take a 2 frame rule lead over "Saradoc."
1-2 Wall Clip added by Kosmic.
4-2 Wall Clip added by Kosmic.
8-3 FPG added by Kosmic, to take a 3 frame rule lead over Darbian.
8-1 FPG added by Niftski.
8-2 BBG+ added by Niftski, to take a 2 frame rule lead over Kosmic.
So Niftski was 10 frame rules ahead of AndrewG entering 8-4, and 27 frames better on 8-4.
I noted BBG- as the basic BBG that saves 2 frame rules.
I noted BBG+ as the new BBG that saves 1 more frame rule.
The nice thing about comparing these five particular records is that there is no regression or substitution in strategies, as for instance when Darbian got a WR with 8-3 FPG, and Kosmic's subsequent WR did not use 8-3 FPG. With these 5 performances, every trick added by the slower player is also performed by the faster players. So it's all very neat for tracking community progression.
Also worth mentioning, the previous second barrier was 4:59.340, set by AndrewG one year earlier; which was also the "Minute Barrier." The 459 performance was only 1 frame rule slower, with less optimal bumps on 4-2 (See Summoning Salt's video on 4-2); ironically, it also missed the Star sub-pixel frame rule on 8-1. Finally, the 459 was 7 frames slower on 8-4. With this, we can do a little tracking to compare 8-4's in this video.
AndrewG was 7 frames better than his previous "second barrier" WR.
Saradoc was 9 frames better than AndrewG's 458 in this video.
Darbian was 7 frames better than Saradoc.
Kosmic was 2 frames better than Saradoc, playing more conservatively than Darbian to ensure the 455.
Niftski was 18 frames better than Saradoc, exactly matching Kosmic's best 8-4 performance in the 4:55.646 WR.
MiniLand successfully incorporated the extra fast accel. at the beginning of 8-4 to set the record for best 8-4 in a WR run, 4 frames better than Kosmic & Niftski's best 8-4 in a WR run.
Nice comprehensive overview! Great comment!
I love seeing how they each do their own unique thing on the early levels. It shows their personalities
I remember seeing the times inch towards 4:54 a few months back and thinking "It'll be a long while until that happens, though"
Now here we are, final second barrier broken
If 1 frame is saved in either 8-4 or 1-1 happylee's tas would be a 4:53
@@adifferentusername999 I think that one day an L+R press might be done on an og nes controller. I mean, the input method the cable used is pretty complex, and I think it could be easily tripped up to register an input like that.
@@psvmjohn no its cuz speedrun.com mods will ban it. some cable interception would likely make them want to keep it banned even more
@@Tranman64 Its not cable interception, it's a hardware glitch.
@@psvmjohn whatever, my point still stands, they will still ban it
The sound is a pretty accurate representation of anxiety
I really want to see run with all the failed attempts played at the same time Super Meat Boy style. That would be so cool!
Stay tuned! Thanks,
Niftski has like 15k attempts, Miniland around 30k I believe :).
@@goffe2282 not all of those 15k attempts were going for the 4:54. Those are all his attempts and smb any% in general.
30k????? I think we need to stop fueling this madness.
Nesrocks Gaming Videos A lot of the runs stop in under a minute
That really paints a picture of the past 10 years of SMB speedrunning
True... Weird to see you commenting on a video that isn’t MKW
Peach at the end is like:
"Wow that was fast- wait who are y- are you all relate- wait are you clones- WAIT FOR CHRISTS SAKE WHY ARE THERE SO MANY OF YOU OMG"
So many busses missed...
I’m glad I’m not the only person that now thinks this way xD
Haha
3:27 Andrewg: Hey i'm finally winning! I can't wait to set a wor...where'd everybody go?
him again: WAIT FOR ME!!!
man i wish every single game ever had some sort of simultaneous replay feature, i'd love to see a bunch of speedruns of the same game all going on together at the same time
-it's actually kind of straightforward, just stabilize them all to each other (very tedious) (or move pixel by pixel (tediouser)) or grab the screen scroll from ram in bizhawk and import the data into software and overlay it on top of a map of the level repeat for each run-
I'm overthinking this i forgot the comment was about a feature in games and not a how it's made video
GTA 3 style
It’s really cool too see how much time each trick saves like this
This was awesome. Also look at all the SMB royalty in the comment section... Niftski, Kosmic, HappyLee
The fact that you can make this video the day the Niftski 4:54 WR came out shows that you're so good at using this platform. You're really talented. These videos are also really fun to watch.
I have got to say that as a observer of the speed running community over the last few years (I don’t have the gaming skills to actually be part of it), you guys seem like one of the nicest group of people I’ve come across on the internet.
Normally video game communities are some of the most toxic group to come across online. Like I enjoy playing Amoug Us in my spare time but I can’t do VC with strangers for very long before thing get unpleasant and I have to leave. These also this idea that you have to stay loyal to XBOX or Sony through the generations. And some times voice actors get death threats from fans for things there character in a game did.
So it really is nice to see how you guys are nothing but supportive of each other’s runs. You guys never seem bitter about losing a record to someone else. It’s more about getting the time down as much as you can and working together to do that.
I wish I had the skills and patience to become a speed runner. You seem like such nice people.
Hey bud! Drop any talk about 'skills' from your wish because the only way to get skills is with practice! You absolutely could be a speedrunner with only patience. And that can be practiced too, so hey. If you have the time then join in! We'd love to have you.
In my first attempt at SMB1 I tried to go down the wrong pipe in 1-1 and died from jumping face first into a goomba in 1-2. Also, in my first 5000 attempts I died to the very first goomba over a dozen times ;) It's all about patience and practice! I believe in you!
Kosmic is going to forever be my favorite speedrunner. I know he doesn't have wr atm, but I like him the most.
this is the greatest visual comparison/representation of how far smb1 any% has come over the last 10 years. this is truly a gift to the community
I had no idea someone got the 4:54. That is absolutely incredible. Fucking amazing.
Watch niftski's actual run video and turn down your volume towards the end, he freaks out 😂
Actually his reaction kinda quiet, you should turn up the volume
"I DID IT BY STAYING CALM!!!!!!!!!!!"
Nice to see how close to perfection these boys are all the time. Congrats Niftski for the final second!
The sound of multiple marios jumping constantly will haunt my dreams tonight.
3:09 XD
The worst sound is the end of 8-3
When they hit the axe tho
Time Saves:
4:58: Base Run
4:57: 8-1 Coin Flip, BBG
4:56: 1-1 FPG, 4-1 FPG
4:55: 1-2 Pipe Clip, 8-3 FPG, 4-2 Blazeit
4:54: TAS 8-2, PL8-1
what is 8-1 coin flip? andrewg lost a framerule because he slowed down slightly i think, and even if he didn’t the time save isn’t called “coin flip” lol
It’s called good judges and it’s because he missed a subpixel gained from the star block in 8-1, sometimes called coinflip
@@joethebrospeedrunsI’m guessing it’s a misplaced comma and it’s meant to read 8-1, Coin flip BBG
This really shows how important every last frame rule is.
This is awesome, really shows you how Nift getting all flagpoles was crucial.
This is one of the absolute best comparison videos I've seen, well done.
Andrewg visualizes how I felt in school
I wanna see this for so many games and situations.
This is gaming art.
2:52 andrewg loses a framerule to Saradoc by a single frame
He really was too slow
"This will just be warm up laps"

It’s really fascinating to see new strategies being implemented to save a single framerule
2 things are incredibly, incredible here. The speedruns and the perfect editing of the video, just wow. Well done 👌👍
Thank you!
Great job as always, I’m super excited to see this when it’s used for live races, that’ll be sick.
from a technological standpoint these videos are just insane... well done man
This was such a cool video to watch, it really shows how far we've pushed the game to its breaking point!
Love to see it, it shows where the clips gain you such and advantage in time
The jump NIFTSKI made to get the flag at 2:50 and the double jump on the pipe at 3:17 made a HUGE difference. This edit is amazing, thanks.
niftski is pretty fast 😳

Awesome video, that flagpole on 8-1 made all the difference in the world. Also nice touch with the single overworld audio and all the separate game audios.
This project of yours is still super cool, can't wait to see what it becomes
This deifinitely needs a horse racing-like comentator "And Kosmic on front, Niftski neck behind him and Darbian furlong behind them..." :)
"and NIFTSKI TAKES THE LEAD, he's pulling away KOSMIC GOES THE TOP PATH WITH A BACK JUMP ITS A WILD FINIIISH OMG HISTORY IS BEING MADE HERE"
This is a badass video! Great work! Its crazy that after what... 15 years that Andrew G was technically just right behind the current WR. Insane! I doubt we will ever see a 4:53 barring some huge new skip or glitch being found.
It is proved that with current techniques and TAS that 4:53 is Impossible unless there’s new stuff found.
@@kohwenxuthat’s the same thing the comment said
I find it impressive that at the end Saradoc was of the screen. Nice vid!
Great editing, and good job to all the runners pictured (especially Niftski!)
@ 3:26 I need andrewg's voice imposed over this saying "IT'S TOO SLOOOOW"
This video is so well done. Great job, Flibidy.
Thank you!
I like how well this shows where each frame rule was dropped, and framerules in general
Really cool to see this all together like this.
This is like the essential companion for the summoning salt bismuth and Karl Jobst commentary on the sub 4:55 videos.
This is the coolest!! Thank you for taking the time to do this.
dang that's some good editing, glad to see andrewg in the lead at the end of 8-2!
He wasn't in the lead after 8-2. He was very far behind. Bullet bill glitch prevents Mario from running to the castle because he just runs into the bottom of the flag pole.
That’s the joke
I used to have a crush on Darbian lol.
But seriously kudos to all these guys for pushing this game to its limit and kudos to you for making this
I love these comparisons.
Well done, that's a really cool comparison!
I know these are alot of work to make. Thank you.
Wow... that was really friggin' cool to watch!
This is amazing, Is so fun and interesting to see all this runs at the same time. Is almost like a race.
This is.....
The coolest thing I've ever seen!!

I was hoping you would produce this video. Really excellent. I would do a longer commentary and analysis version. This is the perfect subject for this system you have created, may as well make the most of it. Summoning Salt needs to use this if he updates the WR Progression video!
Thank you David. I appreciate your comment.
This is cool as hell. Thank you for making this.
Yo that was impressive as hell! Great vid fam.
This is amazingly done! This alone is worth a subscription
That's incredible, it really shows just how fast Niftski was!
Absolutely sick video
Very cool video very well made I’m impressed af
Saradoc really did just save the framerule by one frame around 2:54, I never heard of the guy before but kudos to him
Video: Perfect. Speedruns: Historic. Combination: Epic!
Love it! Thanks for making these awesome comparison vids
this is really cool. you've earned a like
It's amazing to see that Kosmic's run is on the same framerule as Niftski's until 8-1. That is how optimized the run was back then. It also makes me appreciate the insanity Niftski had to go through in order to squeeze another whole second off of it.
Error 4:04 I legitimately found this creepy and unsettling
2:50
You can tell I'm invested if this is the point where I exclaim "THAT'S what made the difference! That's when Niftski had the record!"
Tragic mistake on Kosmic's part. Normally he'd go for the base of the flagpole, but in that once instance he appears to have had a brief lapse in judgement and went for the top instead, which cost him nearly a full second. He possibly could have had Niftski beat if he hadn't have done that.
@@MisterVercetti nah kosmic hit the top deliberately, people weren't using pl8-1 at that time
@@MisterVercetti ? It lost ~0.35 seconds (actually 0 because he didn't do a fast accel)
Very nicely edited! Good job partner!
Love the videos man keep up the good work hope your having a good day
Isn't it breathtaking how many hours, days, weeks, months, years, of human labor were put into trying to rescue a cluster of pixels that resembles a princess just a few seconds faster?
Normally I watch stuff at 1.25X or 1.5X speed, but for this I found 0.5X was about right. Lots of info to take in all at once.
Very nice race! :-)
So dope, thanks for making this
Wow, it's really impressive to see how far your software has come. It looks really darn impressive! The widescreen is a great addition, and the nametags make it so much clearer who is who.
Well done. That was pretty impressive
dude this edit is amazing
Super cool video!
At a certain point this video just brain ducks me on a whole nother level and sky rockets my anxiety.
i love how they're all apart by a framerule in castle
More I think.
great job on making this!
Man had this thing preped.
You're dang right I did.
Neat video! Thanks for uploading!
This game is so intimating . Definitely want to give SM and SM3 a real shot.
this was so cool to watch :)
