I actually learned something about the technicalities behind each glitch, that a lot of speedrunners don't even notice. The graphics are visually appealing, and nothing you said stood out as wrong or incorrect. Analyzing each star takes a long time, so to try to fit every detail into the video while still making it entertaining is difficult.

he's so hard on himself lmao Edit: having watched the whole video, I just wanted to add how insane it is to imagine any human ever being able to clutch that specific run. As someone who has followed the scene for years, certain times in this run (the mips clip, for example) would've created an immense amount of pressure on anyone who understands the gravity of what just happened. You can see the result from this in all the emotion he shows at the end. I seriously can't fathom the amount of self-control and expertise demonstrated here, but the explanation really lets people like me understand how truly exceptional it all was. Suigi is definitely a perfectionist, and I feel like this run is something he can look at and feel satisfied in that regard. Amazing video.

here's a question that just occurred to me, how many units wide are the floor tiles in peach's castle lobby? even after years of sm64 science videos the distances can feel kind of abstract at times, so having a simple mental yardstick like that would help a lot with mentally visualizing longer distances and speeds. the tiles seem like they'd be a good fit too, because their size is visually close to mario's, and *if* the textures in the diagram at 8:18 are to scale then it looks like they're awfully close to a nice round 100 units on each side. if i can hear "500 units" and think "ah, so around 5 lobby tiles" then that makes conceptualizing medium distances a lot more intuitive

@Cracks094 11 ай бұрын

He does explain how small the gap on the bridge for the lakitu skip is, and that Mario himself is 74 units wide and 160 units tall. Judging by this the tiles seem the be roughly 75 units wide, not as convenient as if they would be 100 units but still pretty usable. Or you can just use Mario as your mental yardstick.

@SuperViperT302 11 ай бұрын

As an SMG speedrunner myself, while it would be nice to have some more exposure for the games, I doubt Bismuth will want to make videos on their speedruns for multiple reasons: 1. Being more modern games that are harder to dissect, the mechanics behind certain things aren't as well understood as in games like this, so it'd be harder to provide complete, interesting explanations or clean visuals without making possibly inaccurate assumptions. 2. Most of the tricks in the Galaxy games, while entertaining to watch for sure, aren't anywhere near as complex or fascinating as in older games. In SMG1, for instance, a large majority of the run is just platforming, gravity exploits, and abuse of 2P mechanics. There's some other things sprinkled in there as well, such as certain glitches being more complicated and routing details, but again the intricacies are much less understood. 3. Perhaps the biggest dealbreaker is the length of their speedruns. SMG1 any% is just over 2 hours long, and SMG2 any% is just under 3. Sure, most of those lengths stem from downtime, but making videos to explain the full runs would take an unfathomable amount of time, and unless the videos were split into parts (like the ABC History series), they would be incredibly long watches as well. With all three of these factors combined, sadly, I just don't think the Galaxy games are good fits for Bismuth's channel, at least with the current format he uses. Unless he wanted to make videos diving into specific tricks or glitches (like BROOB), we probably won't see those games on his channel, at least not anytime soon.

Very good video, but what you do better than others is the sound balancing. I never felt the need to turn my volume down/up and there were no sudden loud segments that could've caused awkwardness in a public scenario, prefect!

@Skywolve1998 11 ай бұрын

I like how you put the runner popping off at the start of the video. It's both a good way to build interest by showing their excitement toward what we're about to watch, and gets it out of the way so it doesn't have to disrupt the calm of the video later down the line.

All mistakes: - Imperfect LBLJ. lost 0.5 seconds - Held A too long entering bowser 1. Lost 0.2 seconds - Missed speed kick in SSL. Lost 0.3 seconds - Selected star slowly in SSL. Lost 0.3 seconds - Dive was slightly off in LLL. Lost 0.25 seconds - HMC re-entry was off. Lost 0.25 seconds - Imperfect 2nd BLJ. Lost 0.5 seconds - Suboptimal pipe entrance to bowser 3. Lost "a fraction of a second" - Imperfect bowser throws. Lost ~0.3 seconds Possible optimizations - Could do a faster cannonless setup. Longjump is faster, but less consistent. Saves 0.7 seconds - Can do a faster lava bloost setup in LLL. Saves 0.4 seconds. - Faster rout for bully in LLL can save 0.2 seconds. - Lag reduction in DDD. Can save 0.4 seconds - Lag reduction in BFS. Can save 0.1 seconds. - Can set up first BLJ. Can save 0.6 seconds - Can spin bowser fast. Save 0.5 seconds each time crazy how little room there is for optimizations. bravo to suigi edit: removed an incorrect optimization i added

Man your channel has evolved so much and become so professional!!! Years ago after watching some Summoning Salt videos, I wanted more, and only found a few content creators who were actually good at what they do. You do similar content, but in your own way, and it is solid. I think you finally found your groove and are producing A+ tier content. I know very little about speedrunning, but am a life long gamer, and I understand everything in this video to at least a basic degree to get the concept. Very glad I subscribed long ago and could see the progression of this channel!!! I hope you are making a fortune off this content and youtube is giving you what you deserve, well done Bismuth!

1:33 This is false. On a properly setup TLS website, your password is encrypted, with or without a VPN. A securely designed website will never have your password leak just because of public wifi. You could argue that on public wifi, a hacker could infect your computer to steal your password, and while that's true, if your computer is infected, the VPN could just be turned off by the attacker, or bypassed by a keylogger. I don't mind VPN ads, but this was the most egregious exaggeration I've heard in a while.

Green Suigi never fails to amaze me. I haven’t been nearly as interested in SM64 speedrunning in general for a few months, but man I feel like I missed out on a lot by having not seen this run when it had just came out just because of how long it must have taken to obtain the skill needed for such a highly skilled run. Once I’m able to have a proper setup & have a sustainable income I’ll be sure to not disappoint Suigi if I’m ever able to create a speedrunning career for myself.

What i love about seeing speedruns get better and better is that someone will get a time so low that those risky strategies start to look more and more appealing. And eventually someone nails it and drops the record lower. Ultimately speedruns are wars of attrition against yourself. And it’s incredible the length people go to for it. Amazing.
