So I'm scrolling through the graveyard of the forums (because it's weekends and no homeworks) but I saw a lot of locked post which is all about SMG69 gut thingy. Who is this guy? And can someone give me the video when he sent his "TASSED" world record if possible.

Germany

People already thought it was TheRandomSpeedruner, we don't know if he is it tho.

Like really I think it's not That YouTuber (SMG64). And also If that "TASSED" WR is available today I could check if it's a troll faked run. And also it's hard to finish a complete run and he/she complete a run when he/she just sign in to speedrun.com.

It's definitely faked, he did L+R very clearly in 8-4.

Well I didn't see the video yet and I make so many test tas so i can pretty much see some non-rta stuff

What is L+R ?

Philippines

Pressing the left and right button at the same time. You can't obtain this at the original console so that's why it's ban. IF you press L+R mario will walk with facing the opposite diretion(moonwalk)

Actually, he never actually used L+R if I a recall correctly. He did however do things humans have never and will never do.

Edit: Yeah, I think he ended up just re-rendering this TAS

Is this what he created???It's really look like it's not possible by the human mind except if you are a superhuman.

It was a happylee RTA rules TAS that he re-rendering.

Lol he's back! I kinda missed SMG64 - was a fun dramatic time in the forums. It's like a cheesy soap opera playing out in front of you... but for nerds... and about mario.

TheSpenzers created his account 4 months ago... exactly when SMG64 deleted his - and makes a forum post about SMG64 (which by the way is impossible to know about, since he deleted his account, so the locked threads don't even show the info)

He also knows about the obscure YouTube account, which would be literally impossible to know about unless you had intimate knowledge of it. His style of writing is about the same.

Check his history of forum posts... the first post was asking what "sub-5" meant (which is intuitive, even aside from mario) then a few posts later he's talking about converting TAS runs to RTA, and clearly shows deep knowledge of the game's mechanics. Something SMG did as well - feign ignorance (just like he's doing here by the way) - He also knew about SMB64's alternate account TheRandomSpeedrunner.

I did it! I cracked the case! Just call me Sherlock Holmes.

That actually seems like sound reasoning. But hey, it's just a theory. A forum theory.

what if literally everyone on this site is smg69 and its all just an elaborate prank

Philippines

Lol I didn't know who is that guy. I'm very new at speedrunning. I can't even make a perfect 4:55, I promise that it's not me. My real goal is to complete a run, I'm completely sure that it's not me. I created this post or forum because I'm digging through the forum and find all of that piece of crap. I always not cuss Everytime, SMG64 cuss even I saw that forum post. I'm really a beginner at speedrunning so I didn't know sub-5 or sub-6 like that because I'm very knew. It's coincidentally that I joined or created my account when SMG64 deleted his account. My type of writing for me is not as same as he/she. Like everybody in this community is helpful and stuff like that. The RTA timing forum post is when I created a tas because I didn't know how to use it, I ask how to Convert that because YOLO. Really If everyone Know what SMG64 nationality or where he/she lives (Like when I sign in the site tells you where do you live) I can pretty much see that it's not me.

But hey that's just a theory You know that.
