Seriously, it was a mistake from a year ago and I had literally no idea on whether the TAS was actually optimized. Back then I was a bad speedrunner, and I don't even do speedrunning anymore, but I check up on speedrunners and looked here to see that people are still causing full on flame wars. That TAS was, as far as I know, the best TAS at the time, and the TAS that beat the human record was not made until a decent amount of time after the debate had started. This game has not been active in forever, the last actual run was submitted 2 months ago and there were probably a total of 5 active people on the forums before the youtubeman situation. After the post on reddit, the forums absolutely exploded with back-and-forth flaming between each party. And keep in mind I was not the sole decision-maker here: there were other people that I talked to during this that also believed that it was a fake run, sped up in some way, or something. I hope this cleared things up. TL;DR: Mistake on my part caused forums to blow up, people are still posting about it to this day, and I've learned my ways PS youtubeman: I've already said this to you before after the debate originally ended, but I am sorry for the misunderstandings of the past. The r/Speedrun post you made was still getting attention to this day, and I forgive you for it. PS everyone else: The mistake was noticed and the run was published months ago, and I have learned for myself that the run was real, so there is literally no need to keep this up. Just saying.
The button presses don't seem like a human's tho imo. For now, taking the run off the boards. If we find good evidence of it being fake we will issue a game ban.
ImDangerous20 and I believe Warpedclip's 5:05 WR to be fake. We aren't saying this because Dangerous wants to be at the top 3, we actually have some evidence. <unrelated> The author of this movie according to the FCEUX .fm2 format and the .fm2 provided is "warppy". </unrelated> Let's get to the first part.
1-1 and 4-1 (at least) have some very weird inputs after the flag that appear to be from a TAS. You may look at all the inputs here: https://pastebin.com/gyHJuPGR 4-2 has a weird Blazit setup that doesn't seem to be possible by a human. Also, SLB Blazit has only been performed about 5-10 times ever, so for someone to just randomly get it in a run after the game has been dead forever is suspicious.
Tell me if you find any other discrepancies, in either the video or the .fm2.
PogChamp better build servers If I ever get that damn thing back up, I'll throw it on my stronger server btw
If you're wondering why it is a link to a site and not a Twitch VOD or anything: He deleted his VOD. He just doesn't want people to know he has a 4:58. Luckily, I downloaded it beforehand. If you want the full VOD:
Looks like a reset. The gray screen seems to match up with what I get on a real NES cart on real hardware.
I am actively working to (hopefully soon enough) get LiveSplit working with the buildserver. Of course I'm writing my own WSplit handler first for development practice. Man I'm so close yet so far :(
Note: The server may cut in and out sometimes. I think the Node.js process ends as soon as the SSH connection is removed. If I can figure out how to get it running on start-up as a background process, I'll definitely do that so it'll run 24/7.
I'll try to pay my dedicated server bill on time too so you guys don't have downtime LUL
Less Technical Translation: The server may cut in and out sometimes because of the server stopping when I disconnect from the host.
For anyone wanting more technical information: Pellsson's server is running on a Raspberry Pi mini-computer, takes about 10-11 seconds to build a ROM out of a Warpless split file. My server (the mirror) is running on a i7-3770 dedicated server running in Germany, takes about 2-3 seconds to build a ROM out of those same splits.
I volunteered my server for you guys to get faster builds. Thank me :D
If you want to volunteer and host more mirrors, I have developed a script to auto-install the build server. Add me on Discord (Epicness#8422) for instructions on how to use this script.
Remember the frame that 400 appears (197 in FCEUX, usually) is the starting frame for RTA timing. The last frame in RTA timing is when you touch the axe and everything goes invisible.
I'm gonna be working on an attempt to find a better clip. Won't be top priority (I have tons of other projects), but maybe if I can find one, it will allow more time to be saved from the 0-1 IL

Start frame 218 2199 end frame 2199 - 218 = 1,981 frames 1,981 / 60.099 = 32.962
Not actually a retime at all. Just a placeholder time. I couldn't retime because of no video. Will try to retime real quick tho.
1 Coin is possible. The only thing stopping us from 0 Coin is a coin on top of a block wall in 1-1. Wait, a wall? Couldn't we just wall jump? It looks way too big to be fully cleared with a wall jump, so we can rule that out. We can also clip through walls, which seems like the only way. A corner clip wouldn't work, we'd still collect the coin. Our only way to do it is a wall clip. Anyone up to try and find a setup?
Barnowl said he was fine with the new route.
Yeah, but it specifically stated Minus World was allowed there...
Actually never mind We should've read the rest lol "Beating minus world doesn't count as beating 1st quest."
