honestly my favorite thing about the speedrunning community is that amongst most of the top runners in most games, there's no real drama about losing a world record to someone. Everyone always celebrates when things happen, it's honestly just amazing to see runners getting so amped up when someone else beats their records.

This guy reminds me of how in Super Mario Sunshine, there was this one speedrunner whose records were usually only broken upon discovering new strats. His secret? He studied optimal movement for every level so meticulously, he just shaved off a few seconds everywhere, and when a new strat was discovered, he would spend a few days learning it, then perfecting his movement, and reclaiming his throne.
its funny that you mentioned super mario sunshine because a speedrunner named "Guy2308" who holds the any% world record in that game recently vanished last month
@@jamesrandall975 Two months ago the community canceled Guy because he was found to be involved in a very offensive private Discord group. I think they were going to ban him from submitting new runs.
It just goes to show, the “human limit” is getting more difficult to reach as time goes on, which is utterly insane considering that people have been meticulously speedrunning this game non stop for decades. It’s fair to say Liam is an absolute legend.
Its so cool to think that being 20 seconds ahead in a 100 minute run is considered "far ahead". Really makes you think about how optimized some speedruns are.
Any second saved is a second won The amount of hours gone into trying to reduce even a single second is definitely something to celebrate within the community
@@solar901 not in a 3D game You guys are comparing it to 2d games, but they're very different. It's safe to say that sm64 120 star is the most popular category with the most players and attention, so it's actually incredibly close.
Good for Liam. I feel like every time an intro to a runner starts off with “[the person] was making unnaturally quick progress” the video goes on to explain how they were caught cheating with TAS or RNG manipulation, but it sounds like this is a good guy so I wish him the best in his continued success!
I feel like a major aspect of this that the video doesn't cover is that, while he was gone, Liam didn't practice at all, and it took him weeks after he came back to even get a sub 1:40 again
“What’d you get for your soul, Tommy?” “Well he taught me to play Mario 64 real good.” “Oh, son. You traded your everlasting soul for that?” “Well I wasn’t using it!”
The crazy thing about Liam's run is there's several big mistakes and he still got under 1:38. So there's still a lot of potential he has to work with. Possibly enough to even get sub 1:37
13:55 speedrunning is often a mental game against yourself. I've only dabbled in speedrunning, but I can relate to this moment a lot. Halfway through a run, you think it's not that great, but you stick with it, and sometimes it ends up being great. Long speedruns are a roller coaster ride.
I got home from a party at 2 AM, booted up twitch because I didn’t want to go to sleep, and I caught this run. I don’t care if I never see a world record live again, I’m just glad I got to see such a monumental achievement
There's just a certain feeling that comes up whenever Siglemic is mentioned in these Mario 64 videos. Him and Cosmo are the kings of speedrun streaming during its early days
You know when Karl uploads either something legendarily awesome happened, or legendarily stupid, and he’s looking out for us to try and help people understand. Karl is amazing
Love to see him still celebrating the run instead of regretting missing the last bowser throw. Would be so hard to look at the bigger picture in that moment when you still feel like you could’ve done better but so happy for him and hope to see more records from him going forward!
sometimes its even better to miss. When you make a "perfect" run without any mistakes, you probably give up because it looks impossible to beat. When there is a big fluke in the run, you can just tell yourself "Okay, I just gotta do the same thing and not mess up in the end", not "okay, I just gotta achieve this perfect run again and be even faster" which looks impossible.
@@safetyinspector250 maybe to long, 1hour minimum speedruns. It can definitely happen in 15, 10, even seconds speedruns like trackmania for example. Savings fractions of a second can start to look impossible.
I can imagine the nerves that this takes. I did a Sekiro deathless run some time ago and the final boss always made me so incredibly nervous. And this is NOTHING in comparison to the stuff that is achieved by these guys. Truly amazing people, not only because of the skills, but also because of the sheer mental resilience!
I love seeing speedrunning getting more mainstream attention. I'm glad that there seems to be a general desire for such content too. I like how the community is so competitive yet supportive towards each other at the same time. Good energy!
Been listening to your videos in the background lately, your voice is really soothing to listen to. Loved hearing the use of "Uncharted Worlds" starting at around the 5:40 mark as a Mass Effect fan. ♥
SM64 is literally reaching the point where consistent setups will NEED to be discovered and implemented for these inconsistent strategies. To get faster, people need to discover new setups like the wall skip in WDW to save just a few seconds despite how it’s only sometimes inconsistent compared to other strategies and skips that can be wildly inconsistent. It’ll be interesting to see where things go from here, and what runners will attempt next to try and beat the record.
@@inspectahgex1910 given that we're talking about sm64 Speedrunning cheese is an obvious one to talk about even that live speedrun WR had numerous obvious time losses and cheese himself admits its really garbage. Cheese is arguably one of the most prolific sm64 speedrunners if not the most.
@@ralcogaming7674 I don’t think you have context for my comment because the guy I replied to deleted his. He said “he likes other boys” in reference to Cheese being gay and said what I said because it isn’t relevant to sm64 or Cheese’s skill.
I won’t be happy until some day I hear Karl say “Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean 100% speed run had a previous world record of 338 hours 14 minutes. But last week, Matt Turk achieved...this run.” Might wanna turn on mid rolls for that one.
One of these days, speed runners will play in outer space, so that they get a greater chance of cosmic radiation to interact with the console circuits in order to glitch the game just so they can gain a few more seconds. I wouldn't even be surprised.
Once again an amazing and legendary video. Your videos are helping me through a difficult time in my life. I've watched most videos at least three times by now and it never gets old. Thank you for your hard work, Karl!
2:47 I don't even care if the thing that follows is true or not, I laughed SO HARD I think I just woke up my whole family hahaha Happy morning after Thanksgiving hahaha
I'm not sure what makes my heart sink more, Karls videos or the fact the younger generation acknowledges how good this game is given the fact they're willing to speed-run it, bit of a testament to how good this game is even @ the end of 2021.
In a 120 Star Run, theres ALOT of time to be won. you can see mistakes all over the place due to the length of the run, so if you dont make ANY mistakes, you can win minutes. That's what Liam did, this absolute madlad
I remember when Guitar Hero 3 had Through the fire and flames and how long it took to for somebody to FC that at 100% speed. Now there’s a chance that before 2021 is over it could be FC’d at 200% speed. The human limit is what we think is possible, but really only when we truly hit the mathematical limit will that be the true human limit.
Ah man it's one of those times I'm already on RUclips and I get a notification that the legend himself has uploaded. Instantly close the tab with the other video and switch to this! haha Always a good day when Karl uploads

Honestly trying to complete 100% of the game as fast as possible just sounds like such an incredibly hard thing to do that it's just amazing that records can still be broken on this
I’ve been watching every record change from cheese to simply and batora and Liam for over a year now and STILL learned an amazing amount from your video about it. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻WELL FREAKING DONE!!!! Karl, you sir, have a whole new appreciation for your videos. GREAT CONTENT!

been waiting for coverage on this!! hearing bits and pieces about newer faces in the scene already felt stunning, so to get a karl jobst video on this is HYPE
Daily dose of Karl and the speed runner community. I’m not a speed runner but as a gamer who grew up around these games I absolutely love seeing stuff like this in an active community 🙏🏻
Karl your videos are reason why i started folowing and loving speedruns so much and i dont even play 80% of games you covered in your videos, i must stay this is the most entertaining channel with best content i have ever seen. Thank you so much for amaizing experience, you are absolute legend ☺️
For those that know the story. Liam actully got arrested and spent time in jail. That's where he went. I heard this from multiple speedrunners. He got arrested for theft. Not sure how long his sentence was, but it was around 1 year.
I hadn't watched one of Karl's videos in a while and I couldn't remember why I used to watch these so much. I don't even play video games. Now I remember. It's the struggle and the emotion of it. You're a great story teller Karl!

How this bloke makes the most boring content seem so interesting is amazing to me. Never has my attention been so undivided than when I'm watching a video from Karl breaking down a speed run of a game that I haven't played in a million years 🤣🤣🤣
Correction, the subject matter is dull. Like he is literally speaking about people achieving quick times on video games. Its hardly of any importance 🤣 But he has myself and many others hanging off of every word. He has a gift as for narrating, its incredible 🙏
i love that this isn't a run that can realistically reach the human limit. it's so far away because the challenge is so high, which makes it a lot more interesting to follow than a run that can be realistically near perfect without many risks to take.
Hi Karl, I'd love if you could cover VR speedrunning in a video! I've been watching Boneworks Glitchless% speedruns, and as someone who loves watching speedrun highlights but not actual full speedruns, it's my first time being able to watch full speedrunning streams. The combination of controller-based mechanics and real life movement technique is super interesting, and watching those speedruns is like watching someone do parkour, which makes it even more fun. Check it out!
SM64 speedruns continue to be a never-ending cycle of "hold my beer"
"bet"
For real. I thought the game couldn't have been broken down and built back up any more than it already was, but the community keeps proving me wrong.

@@stevep9177 Maybe he delivers for you but it's incredibly underwhelming when he says it's the "greatest of all time" like it shits on everyone else, when actually, it's just a little faster. I thought the guy had done a nearly impossible glitch or something.
YES KARL ! ! ! ! ! I love your videos so much thank you for making them, you are an excellent narrator and I actually watch your personal adverts which I never do for any normal YT ads !
Mario 128 speedrun
Honestly trying to complete 100% of the game as fast as possible just sounds like such an incredibly hard thing to do that it's just amazing that records can still be broken on this
I'm downloading this to watch during lunch time at work, thanks!
I’ve been watching every record change from cheese to simply and batora and Liam for over a year now and STILL learned an amazing amount from your video about it. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻WELL FREAKING DONE!!!! Karl, you sir, have a whole new appreciation for your videos. GREAT CONTENT!
Liam has been working hard at this for ages. He deserves this.
Is this one of those many videos that go over the the history of speeding the game instead of just mentioning what they did different?
Liam is the Robert Johnson of Super Mario 64. He played like a beginner world record holder, vanished, reappeared and played like a master
Except he had the current WR at the time he vanished?
he had already broken the wr once in april tho, before he disappeared... yes, classic beginner move EDIT: op comment edited
@@huh968 I meant beginner world record holder the vanished and came back to absolutely beast the game with 2 new records in a space of like a month or something
The quality of these videos is insane. Fantastic to see how speedrunning is uniting gamers, and to see it gather more and more attention.
It's mad just how many barriers are being broken with games right now. SM64 becoming more and more optimised, AntVenom basically discovering how seeds truly work in Minecraft etc.
Liam’s reaction is exactly how I’d expect someone to react when it comes to breaking these records. Sit back and laugh. Crying seems extreme 😂😂😂
You're such a boss, dude. I'm surprised you dont produce for, like, 60 Minutes, or something. You're a better journalists/ reporter/ researcher than most of the "pros" in mainstream news. Cheers, you legend. Also, congrats to Liam. Shits crazy yo.
I remember struggling with this game, when it originally came out. To watch people make it look like a joke is super entertaining.
I love how consistently you mention their names. This is about them, not your content. Keep up the good work.
been waiting for coverage on this!! hearing bits and pieces about newer faces in the scene already felt stunning, so to get a karl jobst video on this is HYPE
Every time a new amazing run happens we always think dang this isn't gotten be beatable then it does and the cycle repeats
it is the biggest treat ever whenever i see a Karl Jobst video highlighting a big milestone in Mario 64 show up in my subscriptions.
I'm more of a 16 star spectator, but this was insane!
Daily dose of Karl and the speed runner community. I’m not a speed runner but as a gamer who grew up around these games I absolutely love seeing stuff like this in an active community 🙏🏻
Was just 50minutes ago I was thinking.."hmmm, right about now I would really enjoy a new Karl video". Great timing!
Keep saying this, I need more of this wonderful content
Karl your videos are reason why i started folowing and loving speedruns so much and i dont even play 80% of games you covered in your videos, i must stay this is the most entertaining channel with best content i have ever seen. Thank you so much for amaizing experience, you are absolute legend ☺️
For those that know the story. Liam actully got arrested and spent time in jail. That's where he went. I heard this from multiple speedrunners. He got arrested for theft. Not sure how long his sentence was, but it was around 1 year.

"They treated me like an animal..."
*smashes world record*
"...and I became a beast."
Tax evasion and mold distribution, not theft
"I heard this" is the worst kind of proof.. As someone who has no knowledge of this can you provide a link to a news story or some actual evidence?
I'm pretty sure it was just a common joke among speedrunners and the community because no one really knew where he was
I hadn't watched one of Karl's videos in a while and I couldn't remember why I used to watch these so much. I don't even play video games. Now I remember. It's the struggle and the emotion of it. You're a great story teller Karl!
You absolute Legend!
Stupid pun, but here goes:
Karl has a new video, now smile! .... Come on, i gotta smile! ... Okay, Cheese! :) Better.
Nice progress from the speedrunners, and as always, nice video from our Legend, Karl Jobst.
I'm fascinated to know if anyone can explain honey's business model as anything but datamining
Ahhhh, you see. It steals your data AND ruins your GPU by mining crypto and underpaying you for it.
Honey receives a cut from venders who support honey. So businesses pay honey to try and get customers over to them and then also offer you a discount.
@@kdsproxima and steal your data too
@@kdsproxima except part of their marketing is that they're not trying to shape your buying habits, right? The idea is that you just buy all the things you were going to buy anyway, just with coupons, so why would the company you're buying from pay for that?
@@designtechdk you clearly don't want to have a real discussion or consider other sides. Having businesses pay for your service is always more lucrutuve then screwing over users
The way you explain things makes it so easy for people who aren't in the speed running community. It's simple but after you went through what you needed to do and the consistency that needed to be had , Idk. All I thought was wow , this was easy to get.
Someone tell this guy to put a shirt on
2:59 the guy sold his soul for super mario 64 skills made me lol.
How this bloke makes the most boring content seem so interesting is amazing to me. Never has my attention been so undivided than when I'm watching a video from Karl breaking down a speed run of a game that I haven't played in a million years 🤣🤣🤣
That means the content isn't boring, it just hasn't been presented in such a good way as Karl can
Correction, the subject matter is dull. Like he is literally speaking about people achieving quick times on video games. Its hardly of any importance 🤣 But he has myself and many others hanging off of every word. He has a gift as for narrating, its incredible 🙏
i love that this isn't a run that can realistically reach the human limit.
it's so far away because the challenge is so high, which makes it a lot more interesting to follow than a run that can be realistically near perfect without many risks to take.
Doom when
It's one thing to perfectly execute something. But perfectly executing every action for an hour and a half straight. Just. Wow.
Chuck us a heart Karl ❤️
13:36 "But as the LockPickingLawyer showed, it was certainly not a fluke."
Hi Karl, I'd love if you could cover VR speedrunning in a video! I've been watching Boneworks Glitchless% speedruns, and as someone who loves watching speedrun highlights but not actual full speedruns, it's my first time being able to watch full speedrunning streams. The combination of controller-based mechanics and real life movement technique is super interesting, and watching those speedruns is like watching someone do parkour, which makes it even more fun. Check it out!
