How is Sig faring in terms of his competition nowadays?

[rushyrulz]

he's not really trying very hard to get his records back atm, but I have a feeling that when he starts doing regular runs again, he'll take them back.

[~Zeta~]

If he does another 30 day attempt at 12 hours a day, I could see him get low-mid 1:43 or even 1:42. He hasn't had a strong attitude to smashing sm64 in a long time. He probably felt burnt out trying to get 1:43 after so long (1 year+ when he got 1:43:54.) Puncay may have lit the fire again for sig.

Same impression I got

[rushyrulz]

I'm a SM64 runner myself and I found myself getting burnt out after only a few months of it, let alone 12 hour days

[Reincarnate]

speedrunning is inherently tedious/repetitive -- and SM64 is long + has a high skill barrier. Like, even if I were to try to replicate even one trick of Sig's, I'd probably find it difficult. His mastery of the camera toggles is pretty awesome

[qqwref]

I wouldn't call SM64 long (at least not by speedrunning standards, although it certainly is longer than any reasonable FFR/Stepmania file). I guess it doesn't really matter though, because 12 hours of gameplay is 12 hours of gameplay - a relatively short game or category just means you can do more attempts in a day. Of course, SM64 definitely demands a very high level of skill, precision, and consistency - it's surely one of the more technical speedrun games.

[rushyrulz]

SM64 is relatively short, yes. A 100% run is about 4 hours for the most novice runner (that knows the route and basic strats), and half that for an experienced player.

FYI, 3/4 of the camera toggles sig does are just for fun and have no effect on the speed of the run whatsoever

[Reincarnate]

Short compared to other games, yes, but IMO it's tough to keep focus and skill up that high for hours on end. Some tricks are easier than others, but still -- super tough overall

[DarkbearX]

puncay is better than sig sig is an ssbm player now

Okay bye summer.

[rushyrulz]

It's cool that puncay forfeited and all, but he didn't need to bitch about it for the next half hour in his stream.
