My obvious spliced Speedrun got verified.

Hello,

I have tried a little experiment for a youtube video. I asked myself if it's possible that a fake speedrun got verified. I spliced a 16 Star Speedrun, got a 17:32 I know it's not a world class run. But i think this is good enough for this experiment.

Here ist the run: https://www.speedrun.com/sm64/run/yl0qgo2y

Alternative Link:

Here some weird Parts:

7:39 - I have 32 Coins but after i entered the Pipe i have 15 Coins. Magic.

11:46 - after Mario enters the door you can hear the splice. At 15:20 too.

There are some more splices but ther not so obvious. For these you need to analyse the Audio spektrogramm to find it out.

@afnannen136 I was inspired by this video:

I would see if this is today possible too.

I don’t blame the mods for not watching every second of a ~200th place 16 star run. Tons of runs are submitted daily, especially for SM64.

I’m sure if you sloppily spliced together a top ~25 score it wouldn’t have been verified so easily.

Funnily enough, gothic was suspicious of your run. I probably wouldn't have thought twice about it https://i.imgur.com/FXD4neB.png

There's not enough time in the day or anyone's lives to watch every mediocre run that gets submitted, it's more about verifiability (being able to verify the run if need be) than actually verifying the run at the time of submission.

Try to post a fake 15 next time, if you wanna expose us.

@ImSongs @mrKerij you're right the moderators cannot watching every second of a run. especially for a 204th run.

No it's not to make mods feel bad. I know that it is not possible to watch all thousand of runs.

I have make this for a Youtube Video.

I tried the same thing with another game called Honshogi: Naitou Kudan Shogi Hiden a very unknown game. I tried to fake a WR. But the run was rejected.

My Conclusion is that it is not possible today to verify a World Class Run like a 15 or 16 in Sm64 16 Star.

And look at Gothic Logic's post he said: " You sure showed me bud well done" I think he does not feel bad or something. Something can happen because the queue is a busy one.

I Hope These two runs were the only ones that are fake and you're not trying to actually cheat a lot of your "future runs" (If You'll ever speedrun more games/categories).
