something a human could pull off, as distinct from TAS).
I don't know about the run shown in the OP, but there are a fair number of memory-manipulation/ACE speedruns that are feasible in RTA ("real-time attack", a.k.a. If you're interested in the topic, you might like the Super Mario World speed run that uses a similar technique ( ), or the recent work on removing randomness from Wind Waker runs ( ). So it's creating a whole new genre of runs that simply isn't about execution anymore.

Second, the emulators available to the speed running community have evolved. First, it's difficult to improve on the regular world records since they're so optimized (just have a look at Quake Done Quick and its sequels). Never expected this video to turn into a full on reverse engineering explanation.Īs a side note, this kind of speed run has become more popular in the recent years for a combination of reasons:
I'm impressed the author went to recreate the run frame by frame, and then used those findings to analyze what was happening. Header image credit: Heritage Auctions, HA.Excellent video.
