Yay we get 120 star WR grinding Siglemic back.
He'll have the WR back by the end of June I'm sure Kappa

Sig is going for 48 in 70 Star before he goes back to 120.

usedpizza with a PB on Mega Man 10. Sub 35 definitely possible. He was -11.6 going into the finally Wily fight. 35:09 is the new WR.

Caught on r/speedrun. Neat site (chrome only so far) that shows controller input

I would but I'm away whilst SGDQ is on, so I wouldn't be able to update it. It would be best if someone who could regularly update the OP did it.
I was updating the AGDQ thread every couple of hours back in January, I just don't have the time to commit to the SGDQ one.
I wish I did have the time to, I'd have no problem with it if I wasn't going to be near a computer regularly for 3 weeks :/
Too expensive to fly my ass down from BC to Colorado. Ill be going to the next AGDQ if I still care about speed running.

Hell yes for being there when goose 1:01 on Silo to tie WR. Just over 30 hours total grinding for it.

Woke up in the middle of the night to see if he was streaming and I had just missed seeing this live. So happy for him, you could tell he was going to get it very soon
what is your twitch name?

When will the thread for Summer Games Done Quick 2014 go up?
When someone decides to make one : (
Neither TUSR nor myself are able to be around during SGDQ, and the OP really needs to be kept up to date, so someone else will need to make one.
I will post one then - I may only be able to update it sparingly though, since I'll only have a tablet whilst I'm away and I have no idea what WiFi I'll have access to either.

Hi, new to this thread, have a question.
What's stopping someone from theoretically taking the inputs (as used in a TAS, for example) and pretending they have a controller hooked up to a real console, or building something that would send inputs to a real console to achieve a world record and claiming it was authentic? It's my understanding that most consoles of yesteryear have rules on most sites for world records of simply hooking directly into a DVD recorder.
If done well - and this would be relatively easy to build and pull off - how would you tell?

Right now on the spot I can think of these issues:
Humans:
- Humans verify your videos. If your video looks to perfect, some sites may ask you for a video proof of you doing stuff. For example Speed Demos Archive states it in their rules that they may want you to prove you did not use turbo controllers.
(one would have to tone down his "perfectness")
Timing:
- Not every console works at perfect 60fps, and it isn't 59,94fps either.
IIRC an SNES works at closer to 60,1fps. And not every SNES build may have the same timing, one would have to measure it, or your input will drift, either lag behind, or be too fast. (one may design his inputs to play it save, and not strife for perfect abuse like a TAS can) - Then there is visual input lag, making it also harder to time things.
- A game's code may be able to handle input every frame, but the hardware may not

You'd have to be pretty good for it to be a realistic run. Most communities have quite a few runners that know what is and isn't really possible for a run. If you are taking time to make a "realistic TAS" you might as well go whole hog and just do a TAS. Also as shallow as it sounds, with everything being streamed now, if some random person comes along with a video of them getting the world record it's going to raise tons of questions anyway. And if a well known and respected person in the community does it it's really sad. With twitch VODs and YouTube and everything being recorded now it's incredibly unlikely something like that would fool people for very long.

Hate to double post but Checkers with a 37:55 on mega man 4 for a world record. Now has WR in two of the best 3 classic Mega Man games (3 and 4)! Too bad I think he's streaming on an alt now so I have no idea when we'll see a video of this. Between an awesome Mega Man 3 run at SGDQ and now this, dude is on a major roll lately.
Mario 602 stars race is going to start in about 30 minutes. Runners are going to race Super Mario 64 120, Super Mario Galaxy 120, Super Mario Sunshine 120 and Super Mario Galaxy 2 242 for their 602 total.
List of runners as well as links to their streams and estimated times at this link: Here

Who's making the ESA marathon thread by the way? I know it's not for a few weeks yet but just want to check if that's even happening.
I think TUSR is making the thread and the lineup is looking pretty good.
Current draft of ESA scedule.
<-Who's making the ESA marathon thread by the way? I know it's not for a few weeks yet but just want to check if that's even happening.
Yeah, I found that schedule earlier today. They have a really, really good lineup of games that I wanna watch.
And MM 100% Co-op as the finale sounds amazing. I just hope I'll be up when they do it (and the other games, of course). I guess in a way it being a Euro stream kind of benefits me and anyone in the US because if it's late in EU it's (typically) early in the day in America.
It'll be like SGDQ Part 2 lol.

602 is going to be over soon. No sub 24 hours. Many have already dropped out. Impressive nonetheless by all involved.
Best time from what I recall from the event is 24:05:xx by 360Chrism.
EDIT: The above time was what I saw on stream, the Google document here says that the time is 23:41:00.

360chrism got 24 hours 7 minutes, doing grandmaster galaxy without dying for both stars. He says he's going to do the run again in the future for a sub 24 hour time.
nocturne finished second with 24 hours 33 minutes
mlstrm - 25 hours, 52 minutes
theepicflame - 26 hours, 23 minutes
snarfybobo - 29 hours, 7 minutes
nkilller - 29 hours, 38 minutes
two are still going. Devil6lair just has the perfect run to do and they are finished. tww2 has quite a bit left so it might go beyond 36 hours if they do finish.
everyone else gave up or never showed up.
special shoutouts to okikurume who was apparently awake for 10 or 12 hours before the race even began.
SVA is doing the 3d Zelda challenge. Beat all 5 3d zeldas in under 18 hours.! Just started 1 hour ago.

Toufool just got a 41:55 on Diddy Kong Racing any%, beating the WR by about a minute 40 seconds.
Didn't start watching him until seeing his GDQ video a couple of weeks ago and hot damn does he go fast
