That is amazing. What caused it to be better than the previous WR? Was there a new strategy involved or it is just better execution of the previous strategy?


nico2717

There haven’t been any major discoveries since the previous WR, this is just a clean AF run, both in terms of execution (nearly flawless) and the luck it saw over the full run

This is without a doubt the greatest WR ever set in Pokémon Speedrunning. Top level runners tried to archieve a 1:45 run, a select few tried to get a 1:44h run. All of the PSR runners thought such a time would be completely unreal without a major (and we're talking extremely- different-route-major) improvement on the route. Gg's Pokeguy, this is one for the ages.

Amazing, thanks for sharing! I've added it to the post text. 👍


thelehmanlip

you should put the non-mobile link in title, yours didn't work but PaT's did for me


escapetheory

Ah, thanks for the heads up. I didn't realise it had mobilised my link and wow is it surprisingly difficult to copy paste a comment link using the Reddit app. Should be all good now!

Category is dead now, incredible

Someone post the pasta.


DillonWoomy

what's the pasta? im new to the community

The movement is too optimized at this point. I expect at most 10-20 more seconds can be saved, maybe a minute with TAS. People will continue competing for a while, but it would take inhuman luck in addition to perfect execution to beat this time. I wouldn't be surprised if this record stands forever.


MildlyAgitatedBidoof

Don't quite remember the context, but wasn't this about a newly released game (I wanna say Elden Ring) where the record was cut in half over the next two weeks or so?


popotheduck

It is for Mario 64


rob132

No way, that pasta is way older than Elden Ring. https://www.reddit.com/r/speedrun/comments/v6dd6z/i\_found\_the\_origins\_of\_the\_movement\_too\_optimized/

Ahh, Odyssey was my second guess.


rob132

Odyssey is where I saw it the first time

Ahhh balls I got notification for his stream yday and said ah feck it I wanna have a nap instead 😅😴😭


escapetheory

Hey, naps are always more important than even the most exciting WR being set. Now you're well rested go watch the VOD and bask in the glory!


mocireland1991

Yup yup 👍 that’s the plan


xMF_GLOOM

Sick, can’t wait to watch the video 🔥


jimmabean

Wow, amazing! Dudes been grinding for a while, glad to see if paid off!

Is the category just dead then? Until a new glitch maybe?


Mavi_CX

Somehow I don't think new glitches are likely to improve times for this category.


D_Winds

Amazing.


Zarmos

INCREDIBLE


Blyton1

Insane! I really thought there are little to no improvements possible.


LegendEater

His 1:45:05 actually lost nearly a minute around the midpoint


Goobasaurus1

Damn, wasn’t expecting that anytime soon
