imo first 4:56 bc literally a few weeks before darb got it people thought it was humanly impossible
edit: or maybe andrewg's first ever sub-5 bc i think that was 2011 and thats a really pog milestone
human sum of best was like 4:56.6 or .5 at the time and it wasn't thought to be humanly impossible. Also that's not a great metric. Let's say somehow there's a new trick that saves 4 seconds and someone gets a 4:53 with it. It would be a time that was previously thought to be literally impossible, but not speedrun of the decade.
IMO it should be Andrew's 4:59 back in 2010 because it's both a big milestone in smb1 speedrunning and it broke the 5m barrier. And might be the last "minute-barrier-breaker" (:P sorry for the bad name) for smb1 any%.
Unless some sort of ACE is found it is most definitely the last minute barrier.
What's ACE? I've heard it mentioned like one time ever
arbitrary code execution
either a) 4:55.913 because of 9th attempt clutchness or b ) andrewg's 4:59 because of how big the sub 5 milestone was and still is
Mine was Kosmic's 1st 18:59 at Warpless!! I was so shocked at that moment that his practice in a few weeks, or maybe months were paid off.
Imo speedrun of the decade is unquestionably niftski’s 4:54.948
