      It's crazy to me that people could be upset about it. I watched the video the other day and they were generally pretty clear about what was beta content that they had reintroduced, though maybe they could have been clearer about what they had done themselves to frame the content. I guess watching it knowing it was ACE before-hand may have helped, but overall I don't feel like they were misleading anyone, they were upfront about what was happening and how it was being done. And I'm nowhere near an expert on these things and broadly understood what was going on.
      Pet peeve of mine when people make assumptions then feel like they've been mislead somehow. I don't think the team was trying to mislead anyone, in fact they did their best to be clear about what was happening.

    I do wanna point out that the RNG-based debris in the cutscene was actually the main reason, his recording software was laggy but it wasn't remotely laggy enough to account for the time difference we saw! The length of that cutscene can vary, usually between high 1:09 and mid 1:11 or so, but in extreme cases it can go even further.

      The random speed up and slow down of that particular recording software is rather bad though from what i've seen of it, can be as little as 5 seconds but can sometimes slow down for 30+ seconds at a time without it being really noticed as in it's slowed down to the point you think it's taking longer than it should but just chalk it up to a bottleneck in system resources.

    I never got the controversy with the savestate thing. They literally started it off with an explanation that it was an ACE showcase and then an explanation of how ACE works and what it does. Then they ramped their way up from using ACE to dig up beta content to using ACE to introduce custom N64 stuff to really blowing the lid off by using ACE to recreate BotW in N64 and read fucking Twitch chat. Its not like the beta content and custom content were all mixed together; they actively led with beta and then did the rumor stuff. If you missed the initial explanation and came in late, that isn't their fault for not explaining it. You just missed the introduction.

    Given how other game communities address things like peripherals, and time differences in language...I am confused as to why this was an issue.
    Like any competitive setting, you do need to arbitrate some set of standards.
    For most games, Amiibos are just free resources, and are not a component of game balance. Meaning they should be excluded unless needed otherwise. (Ex. Ganondorf's amiibo and Twilight Princess/Windwaker damage increase.) Testing how quickly someone can swipe a card across their switch controller is not relevant to their ability to play the game.
    Other communities have also arbitrated to hold the clock during cutscenes and fixed conversations. Completely removing the "faster language" issue.
    The severity of these concerns seems invented due to a lack of overall standardization.

    I feel a lot of the people who complained about the TASBot either don't fully appreciate or still don't understand how amazing the showcase was. When they said, this is an original cart, they meant it. It IS a ROMhack, but the it didn't start as a romhack, TASBot was using ACE to inject code into a standard cart, it was effectively BUILDING a ROM hack in real time with just controller inputs. The fact that some of this data wasn't in the cart at all just makes the ACE injection that much more impressive. Either they don't understand what that means, or they're mad that their 30 minutes of validation wasn't real. It all being beta content would technically be the least impressive aspect of that showcase and all they care about is getting their own misconception ripped away from them. Shouldn't that be a good thing, one last chance to feel that mysterious childlike wonder for an old school rumor that you should have known was fake, I'd give anything for that, and instead that money went to charity.

    I'm surprised RunnerGuy would say the Japanese version of the cart is a weird middle ground. No, it's the fastest available *on original hardware*.
    There are typically two types of speedrun categories - those that allow emulation, and those that don't. The iQue would fit in the emulation category, because it's not original hardware. And in that case, it's probably fine, as could its hardware really be so powerful as to compete with modern computer hardware?
    And indeed, while they do allow emulation on the leaderboards, they don't allow it for times within 10% of the record. So it's basically a "hey, you can show off your speedruns done with an emulator, but if you want to compete at the top you have to use some form of official hardware".
    If you're going to allow some random Chinese knock off console, then you're basically opening the door to allowing anyone to design their own speedrun maximised console. Which, is fine, as long as the category allows emulators (at which point, you'd just use a PC).

    • @Runnerguy2489
      @Runnerguy2489 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Not the JP cart really, it was the hacking of the Wii and using JP there that bothered me more. I used the english version as that was the one most of people my age grew up with and had access to. Looking at things like ebay now, the JP version is actually more accessible, and therefore, I have switched to using that, for the same argument (it's the one most people could get their hands on today). However, you are correct about my stance on original hardware - the iQue, the Wii, the Switch, the future 5 consoles Nintendo will release this game of (some might be slower, but some might be faster)...those are all emulation and I don't speedrun on those.
      My stance on the iQue was a bit of a troll. I don't think I even finished a run on it. I had heard for years from people playing on Wii "it's the fastest, deal with it" - fine, speedrun your inaccurate emulation. But then all of a sudden there is a faster console and now they say "hang on, going the fastest isn't everything" which felt hypocritical.

    A similar thing to the last story happened for NieR: Automata, where a group of cutting-edge modders for the game were able to program in new content that was previously unachievable. Instead of revealing it to be a huge update in modding at first though, they presented it as a new unlockable secret put in by the developers. The community response was pretty balanced at the time: either it's real, and these people have uncovered something very interesting, or it's fake and the accomplishment of the fake is still valuable to the community.
    Zelda fans on Reddit complaining that a group of people live-hacked an original copy of Ocarina of Time so impressively that they were actually deceived is so lame. Whether from the original devs or not, you should be impressed by the results. Who gives a shit if your dumbass childhood secrets weren't actually uncovered, and that the postman doesn't have some lame ass secret whatever the fuck. The feats these people did in accomplishing a live-hacking of an over 20 years old commercial game is a thousand times more impressive than whether the postman can be beaten or whatever the fuck.

      It’s still impressive, just in a different way than advertised which still makes it deception. It would’ve been fine for them to be honest and people probably would’ve been _more_ impressed.
      Like if someone offered you one kind of car and instead sold you a different one disguised as the one they told you they were selling you, you’d be pissed because you were lied to, even if the car is fully functional. If they were honest and you bought the car, you wouldn’t have any complaints.
      Admittedly I don’t really fully understand the situation but I think that’s the gist of it.
