Holy crap he did it? I stopped watching halfway through when he was 3+ minutes behind, Cosmo even said he couldn't salvage it. Wow.
 
He said he'd be putting the run on YT soon so that should be good.

Cosmo running WW again is so good. Just finished watching him race OOT. Great stuff.

He said something about needing a miraculous puppet ganon fight

And then he pretty much goes out and does it.

Seeing a -57.0 sec from previous split that late in the run is just amazing.

iateyourpie got a cartridge of Glover and is going to do an Any% blind race of it with supposedly 10 other people tonight at 9 PM EST.

Right now he's doing a SMG2 run and he's currently ahead of his PB by 30 seconds. He lost 20 seconds due to wiimote not responding to his waggling to get Mario to spinjump on a level where he needed it for Cloud Mario =\.
 
Thank you Notch, you are a god.

Haha, poor guy.

Is that the new twitch ResidentSleeper? :p

In other news, Talon just grabbed the new WR for SA2B hero, again. 38:37 with one death in final rush trying to avoid an invisible kill plain.

And last night Werster got a new pokemon record in one of the GBA titles, I forget exactly which one.

Man I never realized how close that sword is to stabbing Zelda in the face lol.

Does it still count if the video's recorded offline? Hmm.

EDIT: we're back

Yea, as long as there is recorded footage.

EDIT: Beaten.

EDIT2: 4:36:36! New WR!

Werster doing Pokemon Fire Red run right now: http://www.twitch.tv/werster

+2 min behind but he can make up time still afaik.

Edit: Annnnnd he just lost the run. Used two X Accuracy's on Blastoise in Gary rival battle 4 and tried to use Blizzard; it missed twice and Gyrados Dragon Raged him to death.

I'm starting to think Yoshi's Island players are the most technically skilled runners in the speedrunning community. The crazy stuff they pull off in almost every room is mind-blowing. While someone like Siglemic is amazing as well, it's just not at the same speed.

He is speedrunning Majora's Mask right now and currently has about a 53 second lead over his personal best. If he can maintain that lead, he could potentially beat the current world record which is "1:39:10" held by sva.

EDIT: The run is basically dead. :(

I don't feel it is a fair comparison. 3D games are more "complex" than 2D games.

Pretty sure Ennopp said that a 1:36:XX is possible with SVA's new route.

Have to see what the next split it.

Edit: He fucking blew it. Missed a lot of bombs.

pie is on a pretty decent run of Galaxy 2 right now. Up by 30 seconds, might make a new PB.

Tune in: http://www.twitch.tv/iateyourpie

Edit: Wooooow, his nunchuk just started acting up; it was forcing him into crouch for some reason and disabled him from walljumping up. How lame. =\

Now only up by 9 seconds. -_-

Not sure if this has been posted or not, but this is a friend of mine's brother playing Super Meat Boy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDJe4Nyg3xY

106% in 1:31:22 - claims it to be the world record. I don't pay attention to the scene so I don't know if that's true or not, but pretty damn impressive nonetheless!

Edit: I see the run is old and was already posted on the previous page. Someone take me out back and shot me.

Hahaha, EnNopp122 got the WR for Majora's Mask Any% just now with the time "1:38:52". He said he wasn't satisfied due to the amount of screw ups he had, and Majora was absolutely trolling him lol.

Make sure you guys tune in to Runnerguy's stream later, he will finish his blindfolded run. Starts at around 22.30 CET usually.
