CanadaI hope you come through and deliver with another better live video @Werzhil . . . Based on this video I'd say you might be top 10 so now you legitimately have the chance to either admit that the video is fake...or beat it. If you think that this game isn't too difficult then you can beat a lot of top runners out here, so you can put in the work right now and post a legit live video to prove how good you are. Dare you to do it :)
@Werzhil No one is trying to slander you, just asking questions which need to answered for runs to be accepted by mods. You need to understand that you're claiming to be better than hundreds of people, and all of those people are going to highly doubt you. That's not slander, you are saying that you're better than lots of top players. If you choose to submit runs and ask for acceptance by the community then you will be asked to prove legitimacy. First of all you are not using safe strategies, you are using some advanced and risky strategies. I cannot do some of these strategies at all, let alone in a near perfect run. You say you had computer problems and were using old splits, that makes sense, but again that just needs to be explained. You say there are invented arguments about lag, but the way the entire emulator lags after the Hydra is very unusual. Has anyone else ever seen that happen before? I have never seen that happen, but I understand the computer itself could lag after the laggy boss.
It doesn't matter how many challenging games you've been through, would anyone else agree that this game isn't too difficult and doesn't take long to learn with safe strategies? I doubt it, sorry but that doesn't sound like something a top runner would say.
As @Pikachu said, you need to show the mods live runs or this run will likely be rejected. I hope you do it!
Just watched the full run and the first thing I would say with absolute certainly is that the player is very advanced, this type of play would likely take hundreds of hours to learn. Not only is it very advanced gameplay but it's also one of the luckiest runs I've ever seen, there are definitely some red flags. The pixel perfect jump at the beginning is suspicious but not impossible, however I've still personally never made it and I've probably tried about 1000 times. Even more suspicious though is that he didn't even try for the jump on the second loop, if he made it on the first loop why wouldn't he even try on the second? Also, beating his own PB on the 1st level by a full minute and PB for the full game by over half an hour, is ridiculously suspicious. It's just not possible to suddenly get everything perfect in every boss fight and every pixel perfect jump by luck. The invincibility trick on level 3 is definitely suspicious because he uses the fastest but riskiest technique on both loops, and he also doesn't use it on level 5 which is a bit odd. Risking that pixel perfect jump into the lava without using a pause buffer is extremely difficult, it requires a lot more than just luck, and easily doing it twice is almost impossible I would say.
