Good morning GAF,

I don't know if this has been posted here yet (did a Google search, didn't find anything) or if it's even thread worthy but this guy (Siglemic) has been live streaming his attempt to break the WR in SM64 for 6 days now. The current world record is 1:47:49 and his current best is 1:48:32. He is insanely good at the game so it's pretty cool to watch for a while.

Update:

He finally did it. Here's the World Record run for those of you who missed it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqGL53OsOfY

Wow, he's incredibly good at this game. I have no idea how he can move so accurately with the N64 joystick. I have tried playing my N64 within the past couple months and I found it difficult. He's doing such precise movements with ease.

Tenck · Dec 22, 2011

Pretty incredible. Makes me sad though, that the first game that I set out to beat, took me a couple days, this guy does it in a little less than two hours ;_;

Thoraxes · Dec 22, 2011

Dat jump!
Watching for educational purposes.

Nabs · Dec 22, 2011

This is blowing my mind right now

Chesskid1 · Dec 22, 2011

i was watching him doign his best WR run (he did it on stream a few days ago).

he missed throwing bowser onto a bomb during the final boss fight, to miss the record.

Baloonatic · Dec 22, 2011

Had no idea you could even play the game like this.

Darklord · Dec 22, 2011

Holy shit, some of those jumps are crazy good.

AdventureRacing · Dec 22, 2011

Pretty incredible skill on display here and it's really impressive seeing it live. Switching between this and SC2 at the moment.

Freezie KO · Dec 22, 2011

This is actually entertaining.

Uriah · Dec 22, 2011

I can't believe how well he races down the slopes. I always fucked those up.

Seriously, he even got all the fucking coins during that penguin race. Staying on the slope during that part is hard enough for me.

Freezie KO · Dec 22, 2011

The koopa just challenged him to a race to the top of the mountain. Poor koopa has no idea what he's in for.

Jethro · Dec 22, 2011

Watching his attempts/practice since a few weeks. Amazing work.

lol I can't believe that he had time to not only win the race, but go back to the beginning of the level, open up the cannons, and then beat the koopa to the top a 2nd time.

Yeah. Utter humiliation for the poor turtle.

That was so awesome to watch.

Hazaro · Dec 22, 2011

Really good at SM64.
*Wow those wall jumps.

Zeppelin · Dec 22, 2011

Those wall jumps blow my mind every time...

Nabs · Dec 22, 2011

Time for me to replay this shit. This dude is killing it. Those fucking wall jumps.

Freezie KO · Dec 22, 2011

Oh no! He dove into a wall. That cost him at least a second. D:

I'm getting into this! What an awesome game, and he's awesome at it.

Nedjoe · Dec 22, 2011

I get stressed out just watching him play

Hazaro · Dec 22, 2011

He's lost 7 seconds in errors since I've been watching him.

Uriah · Dec 22, 2011

Man, the chat is really bad.

A couple wasted jumps on that last star in the ghost house. Poor guy must be getting tired.

ampere · Dec 22, 2011

Wow, he's incredibly skilled.

It's worth noting that this is a 120 star run, and under 2 hours is insane.

hiro4 · Dec 22, 2011

I've been watching for 5 minutes max and I'm already blown away.

Amazing.

Uriah · Dec 22, 2011

And the sub causes a reset.

AdventureRacing · Dec 22, 2011

Damn that sucked. Takes a lot of patience to be able to start over like this.

Zeppelin · Dec 22, 2011

Gah, choked on the submarine again. He failed there when I watched him yesterday too.

Freezie KO · Dec 22, 2011

Noooooooooo! He reset his file!

Hazaro · Dec 22, 2011

American Resets

Corky · Dec 22, 2011

omg this must be stressful

Grinchy · Dec 22, 2011

Yeah I have it open in one window, with a 2nd firefox window to the right of it, covering up the chat. It's impossible to avoid and it hurts my head when I read it lol

And that sucks about the reset. I guess he had to reset, but what a shame.

Nabs · Dec 22, 2011

Sorry guys, it's my fault. I closed the stream

Freezie KO · Dec 22, 2011

I've never been sad before to hear "It's me, Mario!" until now.

Lily · Dec 22, 2011

whats with the adverts every 5 seconds

Uriah · Dec 22, 2011

These resets are brutal to watch.

ampere · Dec 22, 2011

Ah, a reset.

It must be very hard to keep starting over when going for a WR time. I could never handle that.

Also these ads are very obtrusive on this streaming site.

Freezie KO · Dec 22, 2011

Stop fucking around, Lakitu. He's trying to do a speed run here.

Mik2121 · Dec 22, 2011

I had to stop reading the chat, that thing is plain awful.

Leonsito · Dec 22, 2011

WR is finishing the game or getting the 120 starts?

120 stars

Woah

McNum · Dec 22, 2011

It's fun to see someone who s really good at Mario 64. Mario is a ninja is this game, and the levels are made to support it.

Freezie KO · Dec 22, 2011

No respect for the slide.

Hazaro · Dec 22, 2011

RESET

Android18a · Dec 22, 2011

It's around this point I'd have given up.

Freezie KO · Dec 22, 2011

Fuck.

He died on Bowser's Castle. Reset.

Koopa's Road is the best Mario music ever. Real talk.
