    The All Sports world record speedrun of the original Wii Sports has been on the edge of falling below the 7 minute milestone for a couple years now. This is the journey of how speedrunners beat the odds to get the first sub-7.

    Great overview on the sub 7 grind. I've been trying to get WR back on and off since 2017 after only having it for 3 days. I've come this far in staying a top player for so long and I don't think I'm gonna stop grinding once I get sub 7. I gotta stay persistent and finish what I set out to do all those years ago.

    I felt so close to sub 7 but yet so far. The rng needed in baseball is just hell. I still feel like I can punch another good time in but I need to get myself together in bowling.
    A lot of factors like Errors, Fouls, No homeruns, Strikes, Wind and Hole locations can really destroy your run. But I strive again to do good things watching this.
    This video really motivates me to run it again so I might give it a go. Thanks LunaticJ 🔥

    This is an absolutely incredible video. I couldn't put it better myself if I tried, the level of detail and the alternative perspective to previous WR progression videos of explaining WHY it was so hard to beat and what caused me to lose motivation for the category is super refreshing. The explaining of moonball and volleybowl, and bringing up my 7:02 which was pretty unknown outside the community warms my heart in a way to know there's a video that just gets everything right.
    Maybe I will get sub 7 one day. Not WR, but just as a personal achievement, as there's no longer urgency to be the first sub 7, yet it will be just as sweet ❤

    My favorite part about these stories is how they showcase the "on the shoulders of giants" saying. So cool to see generations of runners exhaust themselves pushing the limit while newer generations get to pick up their hard work and invest their new energy into pushing it even further. A beautiful example of what makes humanity so powerful

    Also I think the way I bowl is faster than the methods used in the video. On original Wii sports, you can lock the ball at Max height of the player's arm raised and it will always go straight. I've been using that method for years and years to cheat strikes. I always move to the right very similar to how you explain, but what I do is I swing the wiimote twice very fast. If you don't let go of b on the first upswing and just let the players arm lock, and then swing a second time and curve your wrist, you'll get the same curve and the ball will go perfectly straight every single time and hit the exact same spot

    I recently watched the video of somebody using AI to play Wii sports baseball, and they figured out that the splitter was the best ball to throw. Yes you'll get an error fastball right down the middle from time to time, but overall it's the best pitch to throw. I wonder if that's something that could help speedrunners

    Hey everyone, so I’m not a speedrunner but I love learning about it, and I noticed that during all of the baseball pitching sections of these runs, the pitches were quite slow. I used to play a lot of Wii baseball and learned that if you quickly flick your wrist while holding the remote, you can throw pitches upwards of 90mph, which should theoretically be harder for the computers to hit, no? I have no idea if this has already been tried or anything, just wanted to put it out there in case it could help shave some more time on baseball (:

    Idk if this will get to a speedrunner of this category but for baseball throwing a right splitter every single time is the most consistent way to get three outs since it’s almost impossible to hit and the only issue would be the ai not swinging but that isn’t much of an issue at a low elo

    • @Mr.ShyGuyYT

    Why does a ground ball Result in an out as soon as an infielder fields the ball? It’s been decades since I watched or played baseball, but I’m still pretty sure someone needs to tag the player with the ball, or step on 1st base while in possession of the ball, to get an out after the ball touches the ground directly after making contact with the bat. The game just says “out” as soon as it gets in the glove of the infielder…

    Is it just me or does anybody else, when calling out, like a phone number or something and it has a “0” in it, do yall say “o” or “0” (oh or zero) lmao

      "o" is optimal as "ze-ro" is two syllables instead of one, saving some time

    I’m sorry, but glitches shouldn’t count. Who’s done it within the rules?
