@@GreenEnvy. yeah its pretty funny that barely a month after that kriller found revolutionary tas 8-2 stuff, until then it was still pretty much impossible
How do people feel that you can do impossible inputs on an emulator that benefit speed runners like pressing both left and right at the same time? Every other game separates console and emu records. Not sure why smb1 doesn't
I’m really excited about the 4:54 don’t get me wrong, but the best part of this is how happy and supportive all of his friends and competitors are. God what a fantastic hobby
@@ThaAwesome10 how so? Since its on a PC, he could've just used some sort of millisecond precision timed macro at beginning of 8-1 for fast accel or something and no one would've noticed
@@ThaAwesome10 the tas doesn't need to be made on the emulator there are plenty of macro programs that let you record and play keystroke with millisecond resolution
I'll never not think of Kosmic's WR breakdown video where he expressed his frustration/confusion with people constantly saying "This record can't be beat". And then as he said, it was, then it was again, again, and now finally the 4:54. Massive achievement Niftski. Congrats!
This is a historic speedrun. This is almost assuredly the last time this record will ever be broken. Congrats to Niftski, Kosmic, Darbian, and Andrew G. The ABSOLUTE GODS of SMB1.

@@pleasecontactme4274 It might not sound too ridiculous, but think of it as "41 frames lost". The closer that extra time gets to 0, the harder it is to save. In 8-4 il, you can get pretty close by doing a fast acceleration in every room. The next (harder) trick is a second fast acceleration in the turnaround room. If you do all of that perfectly, you are left with 5 frames, which are WAY harder to save. They all require "double fast accelerations", AKA "TAS fast accelerations", which only save one frame each. If you do these in the wall jump room, turnaround room, and final room, you are left with 2 frames. One comes from an extremely difficult subpixel and subspeed manipulation in the turnaround room. The other comes from a double fast acceleration in the first room, and it is hard to even move your fingers fast enough for that, let alone get the precision.

I'm a bit late to the party, but congratulations! This is genuinely incredible. Its the cumulation of thousands of hours of research and attempts from the best players in the world for over 35 years. It's hundreds, if not thousands of hours of playing for 5 minutes of perfection. This is more than just "man beats game slightly faster than someone else". This is the result of years of dedication to achieve the impossible. It's a testimony to the sheer dedication that people are willing to put in to chase perfection, to redefine 'impossible'. That or it's just a really fast Italian man :) Incredible ❤
The final second break. You are insane niftski, it's crazy how much history you've made in the past but this is one of the biggest things to happen in speedrunning ever. GG!
Every time that we hit the limit, something new is found. It's been a long time since any improvements have been found, but I'm sure that there is some glitch, some exploit, waiting in the winds that hasn't been found yet. The TAS will inevitably be improved and the human limit will improve along with it.
@@magician531 I wouldn't be so sure of that. the only framerule still to be saved rta is lightning 4-2 which I believe eventually more consistent setups will be found for, however the tas hasn't been improved in a decade, so I highly doubt new framerule saves will be found. I think that humans will maybe be able to get a 4:54.4xx / .3xx but that's about it.
@@magician531 there has to be a limit somewhere. There has to be a minimum possible time, why do you not think that we found it. Smb1 is a simple game and many people have looked and found nothing for a decade.
In my 4 years of watching and playing this game, this is the single best achievement I’ve seen. Your perseverance and dedication are close to no other. Seriously, huge congratulations! I’m excited to see what else the future holds :’)
People believed that 4:55 was the limit to human capabilities to speedrunning this game but this dude is just like SIKE and turns it into 4:54 world record lol
When Bismuth did that vid for what it would take to get a 4:54 time. I declared that it will never be achieved in a thousand years, unless the person had bionic hands or something lol
@@ThaAwesome10 yes but crazy things are found all the time in decade old games, things like code injection.. and btw: you can never be sure that every valuable glitch has been found by now
"But the beauty of speedrunning is that we never know what the future holds. Maybe someone will find a way to push the limits even further. Maybe, one day, someone will achieve the impossible and reach the legendary 4:54. No matter how hard or unlikely, if it's possible, it will be done."
Congrats on the WR! I remember about 10 years ago watching my uncle beat the game in 7 minutes and I thought that it was incredible. Then you come along and absolutely smash the record! GG
A decade ago reaching a time below the 5 minute mark was astonishing. Anything below 4:59 was considered beyond the limits of normal speedrunning. But now, in 2021 a time below 4:55 is not only possible, but achieved. Congrats on the 4:54 milestone Niftski, you really deserve it.
Get used to seeing that 4:54 in the title of any% world records, cause not a single additional second will ever come off this game again. Congrats Niftski!
@@TrimutiusToo Exactly. Every time that we hit the limit, something new is found. It's been a long time since any improvements have been found, but I'm sure that there is some glitch, some exploit, waiting in the winds that hasn't been found yet.
i get where you guys are coming from, but the fact of the matter is that not a single person was able to cut even a frame from the TAS in more than 10 years. sure, i guess something new could maybe be found one day in the future, but it would still need to save at least a quarter of a second off the no l+r tas. 1 more frame in 8-4 isn't gonna cut it. that's the difference between 4:54 and all the other "final" second barriers. it's not even a matter of human limitation anymore - 4:53 relies on the hope that there even is a new timesave to discover, despite 10 years of pretty much nothing new for TAS. that's why i think 4:54 is here to stay.
I cant believe it. You have such a natural talent for this game. I remember when you first got 457 and how hype that was, and how easily you were able to learn flagpole glitch after you got 457. This is a man who has put in the work and it paid off for him. Through all the grinding you've done, you definitely deserve this. With that being said, i dont believe i ever asked for this to happen. Please delete your channel.
Absolutely incredible! Doesn't matter if it was on a keyboard, it's the amount of skill it takes to pull something like this off. Props to you, you 100% deserve the world record
This dude currently is the only person in the world with an SMB 4:54.xx and an SMB2-J 7:53.xx. He is on a fucking island and is unquestionably on the Mt. Rushmore of Mario speedrunning along with Darbian and kosmic. Seriously, dude, HUGE congrats to you. I'm unbelievably stoked for you.
I am so unbelievably impressed, I never though I'd live to see the day. Your name shall go down in history as the last person to ever break a second barrier. Nothing but congratulations and adoration on my part
Darbian, 2017 : "I didn't choke and I got lucky" Niftski, 2021 : "I clutched it out ; I stayed calm and it worked" What a long way we have come, and these quotes beautifully draw a disctinction between two different eras. Congrats on breaking the biggest milestone in SMB1, the final second barrier ever : 454 !
@@trentthen642 Exactly. Every time that we hit the limit, something new is found. It's been a long time since any improvements have been found, but I'm sure that there is some glitch, some exploit, waiting in the winds that hasn't been found yet.
@@magician531 That may be true but the last time save to be found in this game was YEARS AND YEARS ago back on the Andrewg days. I think this may be it, people have tried everything to look for more time saves but it just hasn’t happened and it probably never will
People predicted the human Possible limit was 4:54.998 but Niftski found a better one to get 4:54.948. So it better by 0.050. Edit: thanks for the heart Niftski!
The emulator haters are so extremely toxic, they think that if you use an emulator, your run shouldn't count and you're really bad even though it gives no advantage. If you think that using an emulator automatically makes the run not as good, try doing these frame perfect glitches and tricks yourself Seriously, try and name one advantage that an emulator player has. I'll wait, emulator haters. I'll wait until you give me a real answer, not one of the made-up "facts"

I knew this would eventually happen, but it's still hard to believe that it has actually freakin' happened! Enjoy the well deserved millions of views that this video will surely collect over the next months and years.
The hype for 54 had surpassed the 56 in the first couple days of 54 attempts and I'm so happy I got to watch all of these streams second barriers broken live (well, missed this one by a few minutes :( ) Still absolutely speechless man, congratulations
Only a few years ago, 4:54 Was considered an Impossible time for humans. Even though the tas was 4:54.03 and 4:54.26 Without Left + Right. The tricks needed for the 4:54, Having to make the fastest possible framerule on every level except 4-2 and also having a good enough 8-4 to achieve the time. But on April 7th, Niftski did the impossible and broke the final second barrier in SMB speedrunning. Congratulations Niftski

@Christian Lee 😂😂
I'm a bit late to the party, but congratulations! This is genuinely incredible. Its the cumulation of thousands of hours of research and attempts from the best players in the world for over 35 years. It's hundreds, if not thousands of hours of playing for 5 minutes of perfection. This is more than just "man beats game slightly faster than someone else". This is the result of years of dedication to achieve the impossible. It's a testimony to the sheer dedication that people are willing to put in to chase perfection, to redefine 'impossible'. That or it's just a really fast Italian man :)
Incredible ❤
Man beats game 0.5 seconds faster than everyone else
Wow you or gooooooood
It's kind of depressing that some people put this much effort into speedrunning.

Get a 4:53 in Super Mario Bros... (or, you can't do that??)

your comment contains "literally" and "legendary"
Hi dillon lyndor
@@meraldlag4336 okay
Not only did he set a 4:54 wr, but he also didn't trow up! What a legend!
The final second break. You are insane niftski, it's crazy how much history you've made in the past but this is one of the biggest things to happen in speedrunning ever. GG!
Every time that we hit the limit, something new is found. It's been a long time since any improvements have been found, but I'm sure that there is some glitch, some exploit, waiting in the winds that hasn't been found yet. The TAS will inevitably be improved and the human limit will improve along with it.
@@magician531 I wouldn't be so sure of that. the only framerule still to be saved rta is lightning 4-2 which I believe eventually more consistent setups will be found for, however the tas hasn't been improved in a decade, so I highly doubt new framerule saves will be found. I think that humans will maybe be able to get a 4:54.4xx / .3xx but that's about it.
@@magician531 there has to be a limit somewhere. There has to be a minimum possible time, why do you not think that we found it. Smb1 is a simple game and many people have looked and found nothing for a decade.
The final second barrier. Barring a massive glitch being found that was overlooked for decades, this is as far as it goes in terms of seconds
In my 4 years of watching and playing this game, this is the single best achievement I’ve seen.
Your perseverance and dedication are close to no other. Seriously, huge congratulations! I’m excited to see what else the future holds :’)
This man deserves some kind of award for being the first to break the 4:54 barrier, the run was just too insane!
People believed that 4:55 was the limit to human capabilities to speedrunning this game but this dude is just like SIKE and turns it into 4:54 world record lol
When Bismuth did that vid for what it would take to get a 4:54 time. I declared that it will never be achieved in a thousand years, unless the person had bionic hands or something lol
@@rtyuu999 Lmao
Well since then people had found an easier setup for tas 8-2 and niftski is just a god so he was able to clutch it out
All SMB world records from now to the end of time will start with 4:54. Crazy.
You could be wrong
I hesitate saying that because one day someone might find some crazy strat that skips a level or something
@@danielbojkovski723 exactly
@@ThaAwesome10 it happened before in similar simple games
@@ThaAwesome10 yes but crazy things are found all the time in decade old games, things like code injection.. and btw: you can never be sure that every valuable glitch has been found by now
"But the beauty of speedrunning is that we never know what the future holds.
Maybe someone will find a way to push the limits even further.
Maybe, one day, someone will achieve the impossible and reach the legendary 4:54.
No matter how hard or unlikely, if it's possible, it will be done."

Sometimes your genius it generates gravity
Congrats on the WR! I remember about 10 years ago watching my uncle beat the game in 7 minutes and I thought that it was incredible. Then you come along and absolutely smash the record! GG
your uncle is really good the wr at that time was around 5 minutes just 2 minutes off
@@starting7725 the wr at that time was a 4:58
Also your uncle was amazing, even more so if he didn't use guides of sorts. I wish my uncle played videogames with me
“Just two minutes off”
A decade ago reaching a time below the 5 minute mark was astonishing. Anything below 4:59 was considered beyond the limits of normal speedrunning. But now, in 2021 a time below 4:55 is not only possible, but achieved. Congrats on the 4:54 milestone Niftski, you really deserve it.
Get used to seeing that 4:54 in the title of any% world records, cause not a single additional second will ever come off this game again. Congrats Niftski!
Plot twist: people speedrunnung on PAL so they can get 4:53
Well there is a possibility that tas can be improved
@@TrimutiusToo Exactly. Every time that we hit the limit, something new is found. It's been a long time since any improvements have been found, but I'm sure that there is some glitch, some exploit, waiting in the winds that hasn't been found yet.
Nver say never. New discoveries are always possible in the any% category. Year, two, even a few weeks from now on, and we might have 4:53.
i get where you guys are coming from, but the fact of the matter is that not a single person was able to cut even a frame from the TAS in more than 10 years. sure, i guess something new could maybe be found one day in the future, but it would still need to save at least a quarter of a second off the no l+r tas. 1 more frame in 8-4 isn't gonna cut it.
that's the difference between 4:54 and all the other "final" second barriers. it's not even a matter of human limitation anymore - 4:53 relies on the hope that there even is a new timesave to discover, despite 10 years of pretty much nothing new for TAS. that's why i think 4:54 is here to stay.
The greatest speedrunning achievement that SMB1 will *ever* see. Congratulations Niftski, unsubscribed.

This dude currently is the only person in the world with an SMB 4:54.xx and an SMB2-J 7:53.xx. He is on a fucking island and is unquestionably on the Mt. Rushmore of Mario speedrunning along with Darbian and kosmic. Seriously, dude, HUGE congrats to you. I'm unbelievably stoked for you.
He also is the only one to perform lightning 4-2 and has the fastest 8-4. You are missing Andrew G from your Mt. Rushmore though.

The emulator haters are so extremely toxic, they think that if you use an emulator, your run shouldn't count and you're really bad even though it gives no advantage.
If you think that using an emulator automatically makes the run not as good, try doing these frame perfect glitches and tricks yourself
Seriously, try and name one advantage that an emulator player has. I'll wait, emulator haters. I'll wait until you give me a real answer, not one of the made-up "facts"

Still absolutely speechless man, congratulations
Only a few years ago, 4:54 Was considered an Impossible time for humans. Even though the tas was 4:54.03 and 4:54.26 Without Left + Right. The tricks needed for the 4:54, Having to make the fastest possible framerule on every level except 4-2 and also having a good enough 8-4 to achieve the time. But on April 7th, Niftski did the impossible and broke the final second barrier in SMB speedrunning. Congratulations Niftski
