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

[Grinchy]

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]

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]

Dat jump!
Watching for educational purposes.

[Nabs]

This is blowing my mind right now

[Chesskid1]

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]

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

[Darklord]

Holy shit, some of those jumps are crazy good.

[AdventureRacing]

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

[Freezie KO]

This is actually entertaining.

[Uriah]

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

[Baloonatic]

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]

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]

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

[Grinchy]

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

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.

[Freezie KO]

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.

[Joonytoon]

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.

That was so awesome to watch.

[Hazaro]

Really good at SM64.
*Wow those wall jumps.

[Zeppelin]

Those wall jumps blow my mind every time...

[Nabs]

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

[Freezie KO]

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]

I get stressed out just watching him play

[Hazaro]

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

[Uriah]

Man, the chat is really bad.

[Freezie KO]

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

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

[ciaossu]

Wow, he's incredibly skilled.

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

[hiro4]

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

Amazing.

[Uriah]

And the sub causes a reset.

[AdventureRacing]

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

[Zeppelin]

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

[Freezie KO]

Noooooooooo! He reset his file!

[Hazaro]

American Resets

DansGame PJSalt

[ElTopo]

Ah, he unfortunately had to give up this run.

[J. M. Romeo]

Ah, he unfortunately had to give up this run.

Yup. He probably got distracted because he once knew a guy who injected weed and OD'd.

Or maybe it was the Dire Dire Docks tune.

[Corky]

omg this must be stressful

[Grinchy]

Man, the chat is really bad.

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]

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

[Freezie KO]

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

[Lily]

whats with the adverts every 5 seconds

[Uriah]

These resets are brutal to watch.

[J. M. Romeo]

Oh my god, he fell down the bridge to the castle and had to reset again.

[ciaossu]

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]

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

[Mik2121]

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

[Leonsito]

WR is finishing the game or getting the 120 starts?

[Corky]

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

Commie...

[Uriah]

WR is finishing the game or getting the 120 starts?

120 stars

[Leonsito]

120 stars

Woah

[McNum]

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]

No respect for the slide.
