Not going to school today

Scott Kessler got a TG-timed 5:08. Feast your eyes:

Just call me the cynicism machine

It's hard to feast my eyes when there isn't any video of the run. As official and dependable as TG claims to be, it's hard to accept their records without proof.

Agree'd. That's why I consider SDA to be more efficient than TG.

And what would the current SMB run by Trevor be under TG rules? Cause on the game page it says 5:06.

Never give up!

5:09.

TG times from when you press start - SDA times from when you get control. Not sure about the differences in ending points in this case.

Stops when you get the axe in 8-4.

They say:

A feat that may be duplicated, but never surpassed!

I then read their description that he lost and regained a 1 second lead. Now, doesn' that basically say that it's theoretically possible to go a second slower? How do they know that it will never be surpassed? Shaving a second off such a competitive game is certainly a great feat, but you shouldn't go calling it unbeatable when you admit to losing a second in the run.

would have to be the case that the gain later was licensed by the loss earlier for that to be true.

It may be possible he lost a second on purpose to avoid firecrackers, then because he didn't get them gained 2 seconds.

Wait for minutes. Huh?

Is it his run better than Trevor run? Trevor run was 5.06 (SDA time rules) What is Scott time on SDA time rules? Is it 5.04 or something.

I really want see his video, because Trevor made only one mistake on 8-3 before goal. I think 5.05-5.04 is lowest possible time on console.

The thing at the end of 8-3 before the goal in Trevor's run was to avoid getting fire works. However, Trevor did make a mistake. He skidded in 8-4, i forget where right now though.

it's probably very low in that second, and the other was high; a 10.1 as opposed to 10.9 for example.

The previous run looked absolutely optimized except for the box to the vine in 4-2 and the box to jump in the pipe in 8-4. However, such little time was wasted I didn't think anyone would ever be able to hit 5:05. Guess I was wrong.

If only there were some way to avoid fireworks in 8-3, we could see a 5:04. Or maybe somebody can pull off a tas-like wall glitch???

The tape has been mailed to SDA and should arrive tomorrow. My capture card is toast, and I don't want to waste money on another one since I'm planning to get a DVD recorder sometime soon. This will also allow Nate to use his technical wizardry to produce the best quality product.

My biggest concern is that the run is probably still 5:06 by SDA timing. I initially thought it would be 5:05, but I didn't realize that Trevor's run is 5:06.9 roughly. My run is probably going to be 5:06.1, but we'll see.

I didn't use any new tricks or glitches. My execution was just really tight. In fact, the only level that was slower than my best single level practice time was 8-4. I lost about 0.3 seconds there. In other words, this run is only 0.3 slower than if I had done it segmented.

TG's rules ban that and the alternative pipe glitch (8-4's underwater area has to be accessed by the pipe across the lava pit, can't doube back and use the previous pipe, there's also a similar glitch in 1-2 where the warp zone pipes are can take you to world -1)

Edit: Nice timing, sdkess.

He's back!

I'd rather wait until I can see a video of it, so I can directly compare to Andrew G's run.

Hi! I'm andrewg!

I almost got a perfect run minutes ago. I think I can get a 5:08.3 TG rules.

now if my run was up on SDA, it would be nearly impossible to beat it by 1 second+

his run is .5 seconds faster than mine or so i beleive.

I have a hunch that a 5:08 by me will be here in the next week or so. I got to 8-4 today, playing absolutely perfect and screwed up while in the water area!

I wonder if scott's run will be accepted at SDA.
