Has anyone seen this video?

Its amazing

[habbywall]

Yeah, it was on ebaums a few years back I think.
Either way, people that can do that should get a life, not that I have much room to talk.

The video is essentially a fake. The game was played on an emulated version via computer. They obviously slowed down gameplay and used video/gamesaves.

Speed runs are lame.

[Jerrick]

I used to do that on my SNES, out at my dads. Its just in the timing really, sometime I just got lucky. So it is possable without emulators and anything else. =p

I reckon it's real, because surely no one can be bothered to fake all that just to show it off on youtube to people he doesn't even know. But meh, I guess we'll never know. :confused:

nope. fake. also the only game where speed runs are cool is SMB 1.

edit: use a little bit of googling to find lots of links that prove it's an emulater with savestates and/or time manipulation.

acually, I remember reading about it once a while ago

He used an NES emulator at 1/32 speed and just cut out his mistakes from the video and redid them. I think it took him like 2 years and about 24000 clips or something like that.

that's a good use of time...

I wonder what he did when he finished? Probably killed himself. What a waste.

Hahaha, either you were the one that typed that on the video comment, or you copied this rumor and pasted it here.

I've seen a video of someone completing Mario 64 in about 21 minutes using some glitch that means you only need 16 stars, done with emulatora and multiple save.

As for two years, im sure alot of people would say that spending two years learning unicycle tricks is an equal waste of time. Not me obviously, but we're not really in a position to judge.

[Bottle]

Well, since we're talking about speed beating games...

Just select a game system

Have fun!

[Wedgehog]

Fake or not. Looking at the levels he selected you notice how most of them look as if they are for speed beating? Not much you can do for the tank levels but none the less.



that was still pretty cool.

[Monocyclist]

Learning to ride a uni is a better accomplishment than that.

lol, that's genius.
