Cool list. I think I'm gonna start working on meat boy only times for PC pretty soon. I'm starting to do real end runs, and doing ILs with meat boy will help a ton.

The hardware isn't considered to make a difference here, only the characters - that's why the list has both PC times from me and PC/console times from you.
In other words, when running with Meat Boy I think it doesn't matter if you play on PC or Xbox. You probably know it already but I prefer to make sure it's clear for everyone.

ps. by "real end runs" you mean dark world any% single segment ?

Mundungu

2011-08-07 02:47:03 pm

Yea pretty much, I'm gonna start streaming these pretty soon. My current route is 92 light world stages and 85 dark worlds, then both end stages. It seems faster right now to just do 2 extra forest stages for shorter dark world stages since so many of them take so long.

Might as well post my run. I submitted it to SDA beating the at the time record of 24ish minutes, but a few days after submitting the 21 minute run was posted so I anticipate it being rejected. As mike89 says, there's about 1:20 of loading times over the PC version, making it 22:17 if you want to compare it to PC runs. Watch it in 720p yo. If you want a higher quality 720p60 version let me know.

Strange days, incredible days

This is pretty solid, nice job! Congrats on deathless, I dunno if it's common for you, but I've never actually managed it. Maybe this will still get accepted, the Xbox version has a different route, so it should be a different category, and you've got the fastest Xbox run thus far to my knowledge.

-I liked the early flourish in the C.H.A.D. fight, where you jump just out of his reach.
-I've tried to pull off the corner jump in 3-7 during a run, but I just can't get it consistently enough.
-Amazing near-miss on 4-16.
-I'm always too nervous to stand in the center for the chapter 4 boss, especially if the run is going well. Also, with no deaths up to that point, there should logically be no chapter 4 boss. Tongue

-Luckiest chapter 5 boss EVER >:[

For what it's worth, I'm 99% sure I'm not submitting the 21:19. I don't mind if my finished run has mistakes, but I don't want them all in one clump at the end like that. I haven't been back to try again much, but I'm sure I'll pick it up again. I wonder if getting a slightly worse time with a smoother run (due to Larries Lament for example) would still get accepted?

Deathless is certainly not common; I've only managed maybe 6 or 7 times total. The xbox and PC versions are comparable insofar as you can discount the load times and the route differences. That run is a little less than a minute slower than yours. Looking at the two, it's obvious I still have a few hangups on many of the levels, and can tighten things up a lot more. If I save a second on each level, then I beat your run by 30 seconds, which I think is certainly doable given the few levels that don't go well. I do plan to improve this!

As for the corner jump in 3-7, just start out as low as you possibly can on the middle belt and you will make it with plenty of room. In the run I start a bit higher, and so barely make it. Standing in the middle is by far the easiest way to deal with the 4th boss. Line yourself up over the flame, and there's no way you can get hit.

I'm not sure where these lists come from but..

"7-04 Breakdown 5.41s"

I was the first person on xbox live to get 5.37s on 7-04, (SlurpeeNinja) Its the fastest legitimate time possible. (and I did this months ago)

do you have recorded video/RAW and post about it in this topic? If no, then that's why you're not on the list man.

Like dballing said.

Extensive answer :
The lists come from the data I could gather from this topic : times that Breakdown has posted (and confirmed to me were recorded to video), and times that Mundungu has posted (and confirmed to me were recorded to video).
The goal is to see how far we are from having complete IL tables.
If you want me to add you to one of these IL list, simply post or repost your time here, given you have a submittable video (=SDA compliant) for it, and given you would be willing to submit the video eventually.

Someone tell me if I'm wrong, but the video you have just posted is probably not officially submittable to SDA due to the poor video quality. Nice run, though.
Of course, feel free to make a second list which have more times, including those not submittable to SDA, if you want one.

that is definitely not sda worthy video. Sad

You can get a Dazzle for like $40 and it'll work. If you've got money to burn (~$200): a HD PVR or BlackMagic Intensity would provide better results.

Oops sorry ^^ The fun part is that when I wrote that I didn't even know "balling" is actually an english word.

On topic, I have been working on speedrun Meat Boy 5-20 for days. The path I use require to jump on the bottom platform then jump to the bottom right platform, wall jump from there to go higher. I think it is really faster than the "standard" way, but it's also crazy hard (the first jump is extremely tight). I'll post a replay if I ever succeed at it Smiley

Can I join all of you in the individual level if I manage to record without slow down(I'm able to get 3.30 in X2-02, but with my recording program the game slow down so I end up doing 4,60 because the game is slowdown when I record) and I think I would be able to make some record Wink

Of course you can join.
If you are unsure whether your videos are SDA-compliant and so can go in that particular list, just post a sample in the "tech support" section, under "Quality test".
Here are some tips :
- if Meat Boy is twitching, try recording in windowed mode instead.
- if you are CPU bound, try lowering the game graphic settings (-lowdetail, -ultralowdetail).
- if you are hard drive bound, try : 1. lowering the resolution (the game can go down to 640x480) 2. recording half-size

Aaron, you are a worthy competitor! Please continue working on a <21min run! I'll be working to improve mine, but whatever happens SDA is eventually going to get a kickass run to post.

I tried everything and it doesn't work. Like I'm running this game on a mac(and it doesn't exist on a mac yet), I'll just wait that the game comes out on mac(on team meat site, they say it should be done soon, so yay!!!)but until then, I'll just continue my practice on my version and continue later on steam release(then there should be no problem with the recording).

Good job CMiller on your run, it's very good, too bad that it's been rejected. But I'm waiting for the improvement, it should be nice.

The Rosenkreuzstilette run is filmed as a replay.

I've already watched Cody's new run, he threw in a bunch of new strategies. It was a fun watch!

The replay files are not fully accurate on Super Meat Boy like picking up keys, breakable blocks. Some circular saws are not fully synched to the original attempt that when you play the replay file there are moments that looks like it should have made contact to the player. I don't even think the timer is accurate either on a replay file by .0X seconds.

Yeah in replay, I've seen the timer vary by 0,40 seconds.
