    Imagine flexing so hard on a community you
    A) Break their record so hard they can't believe it could possibly be real.
    B) Do it while wasting time getting a 'different ending.'
    C) Break it so god dang hard they start doing segmented runs just to prove that they could theoretically beat you.
    D) Break THAT record because F you.
    E) Make them essentially start racing for second because you are a god and they are mere mortals.
    F) Change the scoring system by beating them so hard.
    G) And then proceed to move on and wreck people in other games.
    Talk about beaten at your own game. Dear god that is legendary levels of flexing. Aaron would have to flex himself out of the freaking galaxy to match that.

      It can be argued that Hotarubi is the greatest speedrunner of all-time, not just for Super Metroid but for the wider speedrunning community in general. This guy held records that stood unmatched for years in games from the Mega Man and Mario franchises in addition to his legendary sub-50 minute time in Super Metroid. He was so far ahead of his time, god bless him. Also, you're right, his flex on the Super Metroid speedrunning community was pure gold.

      Oh he will. Remember, the title is progression of the world record. He had revisited several that have had significant progress. It's about time. Though I've noticed usually it's discovery of a new glitch or tactic that prompts several people having a back and forth with the record for a bit before it stabilizes, which makes sense. Shaving a little time while impressive, isn't earth shattering progress. But finding a new move that allows others access to the top level, getting others in the competition, now that's progress.

      It's kinda cool, they are competing against each other in the sense that they want to get the WR, but they are working together in the sense that they want to see the game reach its maximum limit. TASers also play a huge role in finding new things, and everyone that are into running one specific game, work together to push the game to its limit. Then it's just up to whoever to nail the record. They are really hype for eachother when records are beaten.

    My rare-to-give sincere feedback: Please continue this series. The effort is noticed and so appreciated. I've always enjoyed speedruns in any capacity, but your way of breaking down the different chronicles of glitches and milestones is a complete treat. Usually this is stuff where we can only know half the story through stumbling upon the different runs. Your thorough coverage off all the specific interesting in-between stuff that would literally be impossible for myself to put aside the energy and time to discover is professional and concise, yet detailed and explained well enough to really the build a great story behind the runs. Thanks for the videos so far... Looking forward to what's to come!

When people say "behemothed" they mean the new record came seemingly out of nowhere, as it happened when Behe recorded both his 45:22 and 43:48 without revealing his progress that lead up to these times. But in this case both Zoast and Behemoth returned to grinding the any% in late 2017 on stream and very gradually-a few seconds at a time, no double-digit improvements anymore-brought the time down in a constant back-and-forth. This time none of the progress came out of nowhere: it was all publicly built up, followed, and greatly anticipated.

    What's funny is, "KPDR" is the intended route. At least, it seems like it with the way you get power-ups. It's crazy that it took so long for people to look at doing the bosses out of order, especially since they are using tricks that allow them to skip some power-ups anyway.

    • @nameforcomments4092
      @nameforcomments4092 5 ปีที่แล้ว +42

      I dunno, there are a TON of categories for this game, with Reverse Boss Order being one of the more known (and crazier) ones, so it's really more that people hadn't put enough thought into optimizing every aspect of a full run for speed with virtually every combination of bosses possible. Thought of that way, it's more understandable.

    • @juyifan7933
      @juyifan7933 5 ปีที่แล้ว +75

      Is not that they didnt think about it, is just that many tricks had to be figured out before the current route became viable. The current Phantoon kill method took a while to be figured out. Without it, going for Phantoon first was a bad idea since the fight would take way too long without a 2 cycle kill method. Also to even consider the current route it was necessary to know all the quick speed boost tricks necessary in lower norfair. Untill behemoth came around and figured out all the necessary details, the route was simply not viable.
      In short, they did look into it, but there were several technical difficulties to be solved before another route was WR viable.

      Well, it makes sense the intended route would be the fastest. The order you get the upgrades hugely impact how fast you can get through an area. Consider this: It took years of research and experimentation with different routes to find a viable one, and even then, it only saved a MAXIMUM of around 100 seconds. I think that’s more surprising than anything.

In SM, the choice of timing has a major effect on the route used, but in Fusion, you have to take practically the same route no matter what. So while in SM, it is totally reasonable for one person to have a much faster in-game time but much slower real time, in Fusion, that's not really a thing.

    UPDATE: Oats got the first sub 40:40!

  • @EebstertheGreat
    @EebstertheGreat 7 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    It's worth mentioning that the KPDR boss order used by Smokey and other runners of the time is the same boss order that the game designers intended most players to use. Although Smokey skipped many parts of the intended route ("sequence-breaking") like the miniboss Crocomire, required to get the Grapple Beam, he did not change the boss order because at the time, this was still the fastest route known within the capabilities of the runners. The sequence breaks Smokey used were still very significant though. For instance, the Grapple Beam allows for a relatively quick kill on Draygon, which becomes a difficult fight without it.
    There are some inaccurate claims in the video. For example, Smokey fought Mother Brain with 5 energy tanks, so none of her attacks could kill him in one hit. Today, top runners fight her with just 3 tanks, the minimum possible, so if they get hit by a single red beam ("ketchup"), they will not have enough energy remaining to survive her "rainbow beam," which is unavoidable.
    Probably the biggest omission though was Twocat. While Zoast and oatsngoats were grinding the 41, there was fierce competition at the same time from Twocat and Kottpower. It was a four-way race for quite a while before Zoasty and oats really started to pull ahead. Behemoth started to catch up too. The way you describe it makes it sound like oats and zoast were the only two in the running, which is just not the case. And it's still not the case today. Behemoth could easily show up and behemoth oats any day now. And indeed, all of these runners mentioned (along with a few others) have world records in at least one category.

      Not without somehow incorporating a lot of TAS strats. I still think 40:2X will happen some day, but it's gonna take amazing RNG. Oats barely made any major mistakes (only two that I noticed, both in the last 20 seconds, and he maybe lost one second to both of them put together) and almost all of his time losses were due to bad drops and other RNG (fast-fast Phantoon would have been nice).

  • @BradenBest
    @BradenBest 2 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    Looking at the LB now, zoast is back in first, nearly all of the top 20 scores in any% were submitted 1-5 years ago. The most recent scores were submitted 1 week, 3 months, and 4 months ago, at #10, #16, and #13, respectively, with #20 being 42:57, an already extremely difficult time to get. It's one thing for the top 5 to stagnate, but for the top 20 to stagnate and given the barrier to entry even in the top 20 means any% is dead until someone strikes gold again. The scores on the 100% cat are all much more recent.
