    I think for this video - if they weren't doing the weapon switching tech they would actually go faster, I think it's causing them to mess up in ways they wouldn't otherwise since they're not used to it. Kosmic in particular I know is very good at reading boss patterns blind from watching the gauntlet. Long term of course though it's good to get used to the weapon spam.

      @@sebastianrivero6825 kosmic has been doing a gauntlet of NES games where he plays the hardest NES games blind and finishes them in one day (preparing for when he plays the speed runs of a bunch of them in one day). It's remarkable how quickly he beats bosses in games like Castlevania, TMNT, etc. For instance, he beat the Yellow Devil from MM1 second try I think (without the pause buffer glitch).

    @silvwolfe2574 2 года назад +1

    I have an idea for a speedrun race and it's based around the lore of super mario bros for NES.
    Correct me if I'm wrong but according to the instruction book, the citizens were turned into blocks. So breaking blocks meant you're killing the citizens. Do another speedrun race of super mario bros BUT without killing an innocent, meaning breaking blocks means starting over.
    Easy difficulty: any block that actually breaks makes u start over. Blocks that have coins, vines or powerups in them dont actually break and therefore are considered "safe"
    Hard difficulty: do NOT break or open ANY blocks. Period. This means invisible blocks as well
