^ Here are the best current times. Hayano updates this regularly. From here we can see that the best possible time currently is 1:01:35.82
We might get close to this in the next two years I reckon.
Also, can we please make this doc more prominent so that non-discord people can have facts and stop making false predictions? Maybe it's already prominent and they're just lazy idk.
Also, can I just point out that REGIAN IS NOT DEAD!
Loading and cutscenes is MUCH more than 3 minutes. The spreadsheet listed are times from all of the top runners. Not many top runners submit to the ILs.
You forgot scenes in the odyssey between worlds. I was hoping for a deep analysis on Human movement by chaining together the fastest performances in as short comparable segments as possible (e.g. from one moon to the next, or to a loading zone). Disappointed
Dude, the key word is "possible". Human skill slowly inches closer and closer to the level of TAS. A few years ago, the WR in SM64 was about 1.5 times as far off the Human Theory TAS, and that's mainly from optimization and only secondarily due to new major strats
"And if you're so certain sub 1-hr is possible, go out there, and get it yourself." You can be excited and speculate about something being possible without actively contributing to making it happen
and even if you happened to try and go for it yourself, it will still take years to reach that level
Why are you guys so impatient to get sub 1 hour? Can we just wait for it to happen if it does one day? Thank you.
