Yoshi Island Individual Level

Commentary about some level:

1-6 was completely sick and nice pipe glitch.
1-8 when he lose Mario, he could have been more luck efficient since it’s IL and with a almost TAS egg throw, the boss could have also been faster.
2-1 incredible warp glitch.
2-2 very flawless but lose time trying to impress the viewer before the end.
2-4 how can he find warp like this and why every warp are link to the 1st level.
3-3 The submarine route could have been faster.
3-4 Do 2 small mistakes in the beginning but offer us a great frog fight.
3-8 one of the highlight of this Speedrun.
world 3 nice monkey playing
4-1 great mastery of complexity in this segment, very impressive.
4-4 incredible level and boss, only considerable mistake is opening the last locked door
4-8 The boss was completely sick
5-6 ANIMAL CRUELTY
5-7 what a thrill
6-4 the small boss(slime with the key)was pretty slow and  he lose Mario toward the end(maybe worth trying to improve this level)but the boss was incredible.
6-5 very good!!!
6-6 incredible key trick there
6-8 getting hit by Baby bowser here is pretty sad and he miss two egg in the bowser fight but the rest was pretty good

Overall: very nice, it’s very fluent and entertaining to watch but even if he’s fluent, there is some places that lack fluidity.

Highlight(IMO):
-first half of world 4
-level 3-8

Verdict: Accept for the heavy glitch abuse, warp abuse and very good playing
            Pretty neutral on levels: 1-8, 3-4, 6-4, 6-8(I would like him to redo them)

Congratulation to 'Carl Sagan'
(but I'm disappoint that the IL didn't contain the 6 Extra levels)

After some improved levels.

1-3 Pretty perfect, look incredibly nice!!!
1-4 Almost every eggs thrown  at the boss were frame perfect and the overall interpretation was looking good and entertaining.
1-8 perfect boss fight and overall very impressive but I have a question there,  in the water, was the waiting necessary and was it for the two shy guy.
2-2 perfect!!!
3-2 Same there
3-6 Same
4-1 I have a question there, if you finish the level as hero Mario, does it work because if it’s the case, it would have been faster to jump like 5 pixel higher to grab the star right before the end.
4-6 pretty perfect, in what I saw, he stop in a total of at top 4 frames and in a non-tas, I think they weren’t avoidable.
4-7 this level was simply incredible!!!
5-3 Sweet mother of god, aside from this the only mistakes in this level was the trying to open the door.
5-7 SSSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNN
5-8 pretty efficient  .
6-4 I still have the same opinion on this one for the slime fight.
6-5 perfect and btw, eternalspirits, the reason why he missed the jump is to manipulate the skeleton birds so they won’t be in his way.
6-7 aside from the pipe, everything was totally sick.

So after the improvement:
I'm still pretty neutral because of the slime fight for 6-4 and the 6-8 was sick but it could be sickier  but everything is in the runner hand.

Yoshi Island Single-Segment

Insane!!! I'm really happy how the SS turn out. The execution have some mistakes in some places but we have to remember that we are human.

The execution was very fluid and "perfect" in a lot of places. The world 4 was simply incredible(I would even consider this one as an highlight of the run).
He's in control of this game and I'm sure that it will take a while before this one get take down. He do a lot of incredibly hard glitch and makes them look easy.
The only places that there was considerable mistakes was in some place and didn't lose more than 3 seconds(while is biggest mistake is losing 10 second in 6-6).

A/V perfect, nothing to say about it
No cheating detected

Decision:Easy Accept
Overall Reason:This is in one of the best performance a human will do of this game, staying steady and not doing a lot of mistakes in a really hard 1:49:54 run is insane.


Quote:
ILs: accept all but 6-4.

SS: There were mistakes. That's about all I can really say negatively about this beast of a run (well, and also the second phase of Baby Bowser was pretty horrible). It's a lot better than the initial submission, so I give it a well-earned accept.

The new run fakes us out by putting in 3 failed attempt in the first few minutes, completely throwing this verifier off. Takes the new method of going over the top, saves a second or two that way.

Old run didn't know about the 1-2 skip, plus the new run doesn't miss the goal ring at the end. Fairly large time gain.

Nice way to start of 1-3, with a pipe skip. sweet routing overall, although the shy guy showoffery does cost a few frames at the end (Don't think I didn't catch that.)

I don't know what happened to the middle section of the old run, that was... wierd. The new run doesn't decide to slow down randomly, so it's faster.

Nice save at the end there Carl. I was worried when you only had one shot on the first phase of the blob, but you had some quick thinking there. Also just saying, but that was the best 1-8 trihex has ever had, even in 2011.

The recent decision for no WAPUBAGU (warp bug for all us non-japanese player) makes comparing the two runs easier in terms of execution. Too bad 2-1 is boring when you don't do the warp.
Here was my comments to the runner during the run, in real time:
(5:15:08 PM) Lee: lol wtf are you doing
My thoughts have not changed.

A bit of hesitation in running off the platform in the caves sections, but otherwise better than the old run (faster shy guy skip, doesn't fall off the platform, takes a shy guy up with him, doesn't get eaten at the end).

Interesting beginning (by interesting I mean bad), but makes up for it by the end of the first map. Somehow the old run has a better baby mario section, which is amazing considering that baby mario mechanics weren't really known then.

No real comments, just good play. However, the old run has a better ground pound at the end of the boss fight, so I'm afraid I'm going to have to reject this run.

Overall better play, and that alone made the time difference in this level.
From this point going forward I will only comment if there's a highly noticeable change, I think I've driven in the fact that the overall level of play is better.

It amazes me how many times trihex almost dies, but manages to save himself through some stroke of luck. Also SKIPPY CLOUD, damn straight. Route improvements in taking the cloud, and doesn't get slapped around like a 2 dollar hooker. Not that I'd know what slapping around a 2 dollar hooker feels like, but...

Completely revolutionary gameplay mechanic, going left, is introduced in this level. Too bad you end up going right anyways. The slight change in route in platform jumps in the beginning section saves about 2 seconds or so.

No tongue to butt action. Nice job finishing!

Overall thoughts: Lots of new routes found by the YI community shown off in this run. But more importantly, the mechanical skill really shines through in this run. Even on levels where there’s no real routing change, he manages to pull an extra 2 or 3 seconds from out of nowhere. That’s nothing but solid mechanics, and understanding of the level. The minor route changes as to when and where to jump also make this a mechanically more challenging run, with tighter jumps and less room for error. In the words of trihex: “about time.” More than happy to Accept.

IL levels: All accept. TAS only random BS luck on 6-8? Yes please.

i'm not going to review all the ILs, sorry, but

the new any% run is pretty good, accept (though ebance got the record today ... !)

unless SDA category rules for YI change, though, an any% run with 1-1 warps can beat it quite handily


Decision: Accept all ILs, narrow Accept for 6-4, Accept the SS any% run

Reason: These runs are terrific and long overdue.

*As I understand it, to compete directly with the japanese YI runners, our YI community doesn't include 1-1 warps in their any% runs. This is the reason they aren't present in this submission.

Congratulations to 'Carl Sagan'!

Thanks Alko ^_^ Hilariously, this was the world record until the exact date that this verification was published, 5/16, when it was beat by 19 seconds by a japanese runner Ebance. I'll definitely be back to beat him, but I might keep trying to tackle 100% first Tongue

Quote:
1-8 perfect boss fight and overall very impressive but I have a question there,  in the water, was the waiting necessary and was it for the two shy guy.

There's like a pixel/frame perfect way to skip the fish, but you need two eggs anyway: one for the platform switch, and one for the boss. So it pretty much is necessary. Getting close to the fish causes the shyguys to spawn as soon as possible anyway.

No, you cannot go through the goal ring as baby mario.

Must have missed this...Congrats Carl/Andy
1-Up!
I'm posting here for the sake of completeness and transparency. After the accept, it was realized that Carl Sagan didn't submit the Extra levels in his any% IL batch. Because the table already had low% and 100% runs of these levels, we felt it was necessary to have the any% runs as well. After some time, Carl ran the Extra levels and recently sent them to us. The verifiers have now seen them and signed off on them. Now finally this run can continue towards posting!
Congrats to Carl Sagan! This was quite the roller coaster verification!

(Yes, I just realized this was posted.. >.>)

Wow this is by far the best audio commentary I've ever heard for a speedrun, great work with that. Even though I don't like playing the game I thought I would give it a watch anyway since Mario speedruns are pretty fun, and the commentary completely sucked me in and every little trick was explained so that even a non-player like me could understand it. Great job!

Oh and I'm talking about the SS run btw, can't wait until the ILs are published though!
