      Speedrunners are determined. In a few more decades they'll be beating games before they're even ideas in the creator's mind.
      "How is exactly 0 frames an improvement?" Because the other method requires less effort or training to learn/execute. Getting the same completion time for less button presses *IS* an improvement, even if it isn't applicable to the leaderboards.

At the end of this video, it is stated that the community is now only 2 frames away from perfection (that one fast acceleration in 8-4). Do the 22 frames refer to the best attempt at a full game speedrun, while the 2 frames refer to the best attempt at level 8-4 only?

      Tbh, this game's perfect speedrun (as in, the TAS which aims to complete the game as fast as possible under any circumstance) is a pretty clean run, playing *almost* as intended by the developer. Some fast accel's and FPG's here and there, few incorrect warps - that's about it. This is nowhere close to speed runs that completely break the game and go out of bounds all the time such as Half-Life 2 or instances such as Oblivion / Morrowind / GTA San Andreas (skipping the entire god damn campaign!)
      SMB speedun still needs to play all the levels that a normal player would do to beat the game quickly. No glitchy skips there. Mario64 was much glitchier in that regard, as players gradually discovered ways to beat the game with less and less stars (out of 70 that is originally required). They brought this down to 30, then to 16, then to just 1 and finally to 0.

      imagine using a keyboard, and keybinding a series of keys to an exact sequence of buttons, and then clicking them at *almost* the same time in such a way that they register in the game the way they need to. i figure that could get around the supposed impossibility of it, since that way a single finger wouldn't have to move at that speed, just the computers ability to register it. is that allowed?
