ItalySmall forum post just to say that me and iostpa have done some digging and found 3 runs that are faster than boxies' original 8:47 and were performed earlier than it (even before this leaderboard was even created), making them the WR for the time they were performed (for reference, boxies' first run was performed on July 4th 2023).
The runs we added are:
8:39.150 by Neekoft performed on June 26th 2023 https://www.speedrun.com/a_stereotypical_obby/runs/m3vorx6z
8:38.100 by szzixic performed on July 1st 2023 https://www.speedrun.com/a_stereotypical_obby/runs/z003rljz
8:35.433 by szzixic performed on July 2nd 2023 https://www.speedrun.com/a_stereotypical_obby/runs/zg67gq0m
If you find a run that was performed earlier than these or that should have been WR for the time they were achieved, feel free to DM me
@iostpa I've checked YouTube studio and yea the song I put in the intro is blocked in Belarus and Russia
over 1 year has passed and my man still hasn't achieved the sub 8:30
@Miyoko what are your thoughts on the run? just curious
@swirlyskyglow these bounces have been in the back of my mind for a long time but implementing them would be an absolute nightmare or at least for me (i'm terrible at them) but even if somebody was really that good then it would save just around half a second (or at least only in Very Easy) unless you chain dozens of these in a row like a TAS which is just flat out impossible
i almost forgot to tell you but to get the bounces i got in my IL you need to use high FPS (it's allowed)
@Massive i'm probably gonna turn down the brightness on capcut next time i submit a pb because it's pretty unbearable as of rn
i'm glad the sub 4 happened before the new changes, GG!
one small thing, the difficult run i was talking about is a 1:55.9 that unfortunately got rejected because of a rule i wasn't aware of (i skipped the stage 31 checkpoint so i can reset and go back on stage 30 at any point which is not allowed), the listed WR which is a 1:56.6 is so bad and i will be improving it soon
never thought somebody would get a time this good on mobile, gg!
@RezaRezultt good luck on your attempts
@Hanial no need to worry, i'm still not done with anniversary ending
