I go back to that one night he was drunk on stream and he said he was going to do this. It's been months and he finally did it.

That was fucking amazing to see live. Holy shit the clench. I literally stood up for the last thirty seconds.

Just going by his splits, he could save 4 seconds between Bottle and Deku... makes me wonder if it's possible to whittle it down to under 18 minutes.
Possible ya, too insane to try.

27:01 rockman 2 for Cyghfer which is also a WR. Happened not too long after Cosmo's run.

puncay almost got a 1:42 on Mario64 last night, but he choked it away in the last level.
Records keep on falling. Demoon9 just set a new Wind Waker WR of 4:21:00.61
Still plenty of time available to save as well. That time is only going down
Nice, good for him! I hopped in on the stream once or twice and noticed it was a decent run but had to go so I didn't see him finish.

Mega Man 5 record got set yesterday too. Ohon got a 36:21
I'm impressed. Yesterday I saw 6k viewers on Super Mario 64 and thought siglemic was streaming again, and then not only it was a new guy, but he had beaten sigle twice and then did it a third time. Now he is -20s on the fourth split.

Pretty sure Checkers just got the Super Mario RPG WR. Won't know for a few minutes since the credits have to run
2:53:21
3 minutes off his previous PB.
Checkers is God gamer confirmed

Someone made a thread: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=862828
Can someone explain to me how puncayshun is able to improve his WR every other day? Even doing some big mistakes and having bad luck with glitches he does 1:43 consistently (and he would have 1:42 today if that invisible wall didn't exist).
siglemic played the game for a whole month and it was like a week or 2 for some improvement. I remember how hard it was for his first 1:43.

Someone made a thread when I was going to post mine. So I just deleted all my graphics and shit.
Because Puncay is extremely good and consistent. He's not using individual star techniques that the Japanese community uses.

My god, RWhiteGoose got 4 WRs in Goldeneye in the last week. One untied.

I can't decide which one i'm happier about for him. the untied is nice but bunker 1 took him 160 hours of runs to get. it always feels great to do something you had pretty much given up on.
Cosmo uploaded his OoT Any% 18:10 with post-commentary
It's really good and insightful! I recommend watching it.

Damn that is impressive

So this gets linked to at another forum I frequent and the entire topic is people whining about how a true speedrun doesn't skip the whole game or doesn't use glitches and I just want to tear my hair out. Or the guy that says it's not impressive because it skips the whole game. I know these people have no idea the work it took to not only do runs and get this time but also to find every single glitch and trick used to make the run go fast.
It's one thing to say I think OoT any% is a boring run to watch because the entire game gets skipped but diminishing the accomplishment of getting that time because you have no idea of anything involved in getting that time.

They also clearly did not watch the video since Cosmo explains the complexity of what he does.

Kill them all.
But yeah, I just opt to ignore those guys. They don't understand what speedrunning is about, and they never will. Your breath would be used better yelling at a wall.

Puncayshun is just five stars away from a possible Mario 64 120 Star sub-1:43 and a new wr. It's gonna be real close, though..

1:42 by the hair on his chinny chin chin
most clutch bowser throws ever too. not a single one ever in doubt. no matter how good a runner is they always seem to be sketchy on throws. will need to time it but it looks to be sub 1:43

I'ts not certain yet, he has to time it by frame. He got a 49:00:00 flat on 70 star after re-timing like a month ago.
Edit: Got it, 1:42:59:67. It was a very sub-optimal run, though, 1:41 is clearly possible. But I don't think Puncay is going for it now, he seems very bored of the game. And Sig is semi-retired.

Puncayshun is probably the most frustrating speed gamer to watch live. Dude runs ads constantly when he's streaming. I can understand an ad or two when you reset, but ads show up during the middle of his runs, too. Grats to him or whatever, though.
You must have missed the topic on GAF right after he set the WR. It was 10 pages of people ignorantly complaining that it was illegitimate, and then other people (me including) calling those people out. The best part was the guy saying that "glitch runs" is a separate thing from "speed runs" (he was an authority on this since he had the WR of Red Steel 2, a record he streamed on his friend's twitch account that is now closed, go figure). He even went on to say that "glitch runs" were a subclass of "speed runs" but not actual "speed runs". Which of course makes no sense since if X is a subclass of Y, then X is by definition an Y.

Yeah I saw that. I just stayed out of it because I had nothing nice to say.
And yeah I've seen that argument. I've tried to steer some of the people I've talked about to other categories like glitchless or all dungeons or no wrong warp because other categories don't skip almost the entire game. But the ones that just dismiss it for heavy glitch use are a lost cause.
edit: And apparently most of them will only watch a run with commentary. It's a close knit community and I'm well liked or else I'd get really snarky and tell them to watch a let's play instead

Amazing.
RIP speedrunning community and, more importantly, speedrun marathons.

Yeah I can see people move over to Hitbox.
I just made an account on hitbox just in case speedrunners start moving there (mainly the ones I watch). It doesn't look like hitbox gets many viewers yet (highest amount I saw on front page is 700?) So, even if I felt like streaming on there it's possible even a new user like me could get viewers.
But anyway that if I wanted to stream -- mainly going to watch like always. But still, Twitch is going down the shitter.
