It's so interesting how they clue in on different things depending on their strengths. Really goes to show how important it is to have a team of multiple people looking at an alleged cheater.
This was really fun to have my run included! I got that like last summer so it was super funny rewatching and wondering why the heck I was doing what I did. I think it’s hilarious that the shield precraft made it so suspicious but it definitely was strange lol.
The only reason I knew one of the runs was not the fake run is because I remember watching that same person do that funky one cycle in a tournament forever ago
Do we even have a definitive proof that both first runs are totally legit? Minecraft is one of the most popular games for speedruns and at the same time it's incredibly easy to cheat if you know how to code mods... I can guarantee you there is a ton of cheated runs on the Leaderboard.
thoughts halfway through: Run 1 seemed a little off. Mainly dolphin frontloading (on a set seed you could reset for that) and the wood use. The runner somehow mined the exact amount of logs to have enough for 5 beds and to get on too of the bastion. It's odd that run 2 uses e-ray and fabric api. There was only a very very short time in which both were used by speedrunners (fanric api being forbidden around feb, e-ray being discovered around jan). I feel like it would be too obvious to be the fake, but it is definitely rare. Probably around Reign 14:07 wr. So far I think run 1 is more likely to be fake than run 2. edit: run 3 seems very legit so far. From the moment he doubted which spawner to go to, he won my heart lmao. Let's see the results. My final guess is run 1. edit 2: :NOOO:
I got it right, not grabbing the eye was what gave it away for me. Like risking the whole run for that seems a bit odd. Otherwise I would've guessed number two. Dunno if Couri or Fein even noticed that, weird because Illumina did and got it wrong.
I guessed #3 because it looked like someone that knows speedrunner things, but not how to actually do the speedrunner things. Just like someone trying to imitate a speedrunner on a known seed.
it would have to be more obvious than the runs here tho- as we can see from the vid it’s hard to tell if one is actually cheated even if you are explicitly looking for it
Everyone: why is he crafting so many slabs what Illumina: yeah this guy knows what he’s doing Everyone: okay-ish coords, whatever Illumina: this is awful is this even the ring
I got it right. Run number 2 just looked like a new player. In the other hand, run number 3 was so strange at some parts, the slabs doesn't make sense, the way he ran and also the quality was better than the others. I looked at the skin and totally called a namemc one, namemc normally has anime skins more than other places. Also, the timer skin just screamed to me "youtube" run xD
It's so interesting the difference between runners having crazy good knowledge of structures and how things generate in Minecraft vs. knowing them TOO well and being a set seed
I am a fan of all the runners you had in the video and I know of you by proxy, so I watched the video. Damn, dude. Very good. Please make more. I did the whole subscribe and hit the bell thing so that I wouldn't miss the next one. Thank you, sir! One note. The reveal felt off to me because it had to happen three times. I understand the logistics of why it happened like that, but it would've been very cool to hear the runners reacting to each other's thoughts and having a big joint reveal at the end. I think this is such a cool concept. And you executed it so well. I really hope you make more. Thanks for the video!
I got it simply because I love off of the best being under the highest suspicion. The third was the cleanest, the smoothest out of all of them, the one that made the most sense. Of course you're not gonna want your cheated run to look sloppy. anxiety and paranoia does that to cheaters; they look back through their video, find something that looks sus and say "nope, that looks wierd, they're gonna call me out on that" and go back through it again so that way it doesn't look bad. The best ones are ALWAYS the most suspicious
I got it right. How I found out 1. The other two seeds were bad while this one was good which was kinda a red flag to me and then 2. The slabs would not be enough to be a good time save.
I've never done a speed run before but have been playing for a long long time and it was awesome to find out that the run I predicted off of my general experience over the years was run 3! Great video👍
I'd bet that little pogchamp thing in the bottom right of the third run is hiding improper subtitles on an otherwise smooth splice cut or else it's just there as a distraction piece
Nice! At the very start I figured the dolphins must be you (NerdiBERT!) but the gameplay was too smooth. Really well edited. It's time-consuming to edit something like this so smoothly.
The first video I watched from you and know almost nothing about speedrunning. somehow I was able to guess right, but thats only because the viewers got an important clue in the beginning that the other 3 guys didn't have. Without this clue I would have rolled a dice instead. Great job to the third guy on finding out the correct one!
I knew it was the third one like 10 seconds in, just from the skin, timer, and animation, things like the speed bridging reaffirmed my suspicion. But I also knew that Nerdi was the one doing the fake run which they didn't which makes a big difference because i wasn't looking at which run seemed cheated just which one seemed like Nerdi trying to fake a run
what you can tell that number 3 was cheated was because of the enderpearls, no sane speedrunner would have less than 12, because than it would ruin there whole run.
What I don't get is why don't speedrunning sites just require you show your blank seed before hand? Like, I know in hollow knight you have to show the main menu to make sure you're playing on the right version with no mods so
I think this really shows that not everything is as it might initially seem. I thought #1 was the most suspicious, and what do you know, I guessed wrong!
I was 50 : 50 between the 2nd and 3rd run, but what gave it away to me was at 19:25 when Nerdi told Illumina that it 'was the stronghold.' That was super sus, as well as the fact that the 3rd run was played at the skill level that I would associate with Nerdi. GG.
I really like this concept however them knowing that the fake is a set seed made it super obvious! I think having the dramatic irony side of just spotting a cheated run out of 3 different runs
It would be better if each of them had to guess if it's a fake speedrun or not at the end of each replay. The moment when they realise that they were wrong would be fun. They shouldn't have option to pick unsure.
The pre-craft shield into a insta nether fortress was wayyyy too sus, but hey, maybe he always craft a shield and this time it was worth... but when the runner left the eye behind in the third run i was like "wait, what? Why? Do they KNOW they wont need that eye?"
Stone/iron axes are two shot for most mobs with crits. Fewer hits = less inefficiency from knockback makes them faster overall than anything but a diamond sword and not even very much faster than that.
My guess was defo between 2 and 3. I chose 3 but made the mistake beforehand of looking through comments before the vid and briefly saw the word "shield" from the top comment so im disqualifying myself for that reason as it mightve influenced my choice Great vid btw, very entertaining!
The thing that really said 3 was fake was the fact that he didn’t pick up the 12th eye after dropping it, if it was real, you’d make sure to conserve your eyes

Surprised no one fished out the odd run out immediately by looking at the specs knowing Nerdi's graphics card

i love this concept so much. hope there’s more parts to this, honestly, it’s so unique

Fun fact swords do more damage than axes. The only thing of PVP is making shields less effective
they dont, they may do more dps but at a flat rate they dont,
