Hi Fernando,

So regarding your run: please remember to always write the emu (& version) in the description when submitting. Your previous run was on fceux so I'm assuming it still is, but please confirm that point.

Also your timer seems to be a later addition done with Vegas, and you get a 3:11 final time on it assuming it's accurate. If it is, why did you submit 3:12? I edited your time into 3:11 for now because we don't round up the times, we just take the whole second (and for short runs at the top we should add decimals in the future in fact, particularly for any%).

So yeah, if you can confirm the emu & the time it would be great! Thanks

Hi there Kirua! The version I used was FCEUX 2.2.3 (same as before!)

Final time was 3:11.29, and since the timer was running at 30fps (compared to gameplay footage wich was running at 60) next 2 frames it would have been 03:12.00 so I assumed I had to round up the time (since there was no decimals).

I hope this answers your question.

Yep thanks, when a time is 3:11.xx we just put 3:11, even if it's 3:11.99 (although as i said i'll edit so decimals can be put for that category). As long as the timer is perfectly accurate obviously but it seems you timed it afterwards and not by hand during the run, so I assume you started and stopped it on the correct frame.

Fernando51, there's been some new developments regarding your run, and it's been removed from the LB for the time being, waiting for you to hopefully provide more informations about the various points raised.

The issues are multiple:

It's been confirmed with 100% certainty that some of your previous runs (both on sr.com and in your youtube channel) were cheated with the help of a turbo button. Beyond turbo, many elements in these runs are also incredibly unnatural for human beings and are most certainly TAS'd. The fact that you actually partake in TASing (and have uploaded such videos on your youtube account) does solidify the suspicions.

There's a wild inconsistency in your execution. You fail to recognise some basic optimizations that even players of a way lower caliber than #2 place would notice, and yet you go for some overly complicated and difficult strats, that sometimes are even slower. An example of that is your 1-3, which is both harder, slower and less consistent.

In 7-1, not only do you include in your strats some really obvious flaws that make no sense, but you also perform at time some movements that make no sense for a human, and only make sense if you're trying to adjust subpixels (which is not something you can know when to do in a RTA setting) or if you accidentally slipped off the controller.

All in all, when we combine these elements with the fact that you've never streamed or shown any session of attempts anywhere, and also the fact that another mario community (SMW) has rejected one of your runs for similar reasons, it's fair to say that your run should be removed until we hear from you on all these topics (and possibly more, this isn't an exhaustive list of all the suspicions). If you want to discuss directly with some of us, come to the SMB3 Discord channel. I can provide an invitation if needed.
