BREAKING: Todd Rogers takes all non-shortcut Mario Kart 64 world records by starting the game in second gear!
Matthias must be pissed
The Human Element strikes again!!! Take THAT Matthias!
No Billy Mitchell has all the Mario kart speed runs. Because Walter Day says so. All other records were performed on machines not sanctioned by twin galaxies 😛
Such a talented man 😩
Todd Rogers has the fastest lap record on every track and every single one is 1 second!
It's not really the same because there's no world record attached, but I've reset when looking for a Shiny Pokemon due to muscle memory. I was very annoyed. I hope he pulls it off again!
Dude same, that's the worst.
Hey It's JRose, keep it up Count!
Oof.
I have never seen a shiny :(
EDIT: in my own play
Before losing Pokemon Black 2 I was going for a shiny starter, got 2k resets in 1 sitting before getting bored.
Done a lot of times in RPG reseting after successfully stealing an rare item
He is still an absolute legend. Even if he didn't get a one lap shortcut record, he proved it's possible for a human to do.
You’re an absolute Legend. For pointing this out and just cuz.
But he’s not human
@@roistin3944 *or is he*
*vsauce music intensifies*
Well its kinda fascinating. If he would have pulled it of it would be great and celebrated. But by actually not making it he has become more famous than what he would be if successfull ^^
It reminds me of a guy, who disarmed a robber - and then he gave a gun back to him - just like he practiced 100s of times.
That hurts.. Not as much as the robber, but that hurts.
@@williamshakemilk2192 I think it's a hypothetical, for the sake of an analogy.
@@bragtime1052 that's interesting
@@hyde5213 I would say otherwise since they said it reminds them of an actual person
@@bragtime1052 oof same article has a story of a woman who had a gun for self defense and even went to the range consistently to practice with it but when it came time to use it when she was attacked and raped she just didn't think to grab it out of her purse and use it. It was sitting right next to her the entire time.
The worst part is that it was the first time the skip ever was used, so it’s in the history book now.
@Shaman Xeed uhhh...thanks for the warning?
@Shaman Xeed You're allowed your own opinion but don't try and force it on others.
@Shaman Xeed you reaaallyy just had to say that on a *mario* video? also, what's wrong with being a casual gamer? I'll tell ya what, nothing. so fuck off with your bad takes.
@Shaman Xeed yeah that has nothing to do with the video or comment.

My biggest fear when shiny hunting is reflex resetting.
Reflexes, your friend and enemy in many places.
That's why I rip the rubber bands off the L and R buttons on my 3ds the moment I see the sparkle.
I’m doing that now. Trying my hardest to make sure I wait a bit before resetting each time
My exact feelings
6:19 did u just tell speedrunners to WAIT 1 second? MADMAN
By not waiting 1 second to restart, I save 59 frames on scrapping my attempt. Does anyone keep track of fastest scrapped runs?
Well sometimes you need to wait to save more time like in the Super Mario Bros. speedruns
The line between speedrunner and speedescapist is very thin. Maybe.
The absolute power of the 619. Its a career ender.
If you are restarting then let it be a concious restart or you are more likely to train your unconscious to abort as an escential step
It's kinda funny how muscle memory ends up leading to mistakes like this considering that is a major element to how speedrunners are able to get such amazing times. Take the bad with the good I guess lol
Muscle memory can also get you stuck in a rut if you're used to using a slower or less efficient strat that gets beaten out by a newer strat. I'm not a speedrunner but I am a schmup player and sometimes I catch myself getting into position for an inferior scoring strat that I used to use when I've found and practiced a better strat that I should be using. When new strats are discovered, sometimes you're going to have to do some mental rewiring to kick the old strat out of your mind
It depends on the game, but strong muscle memory alone doesn't make a great speedrunner.

@@asswhole4195 But there's also a chance that someone watching this videos is an amazing human being. So I think it's worth it to call a lot of undeserving people "absolute legends" so that one person gets to be called what they actually are.
"I didn't think I'd actually get this far"
Well, allow me to suggest your next move.
I experienced this years ago as a musician. Whenever I would practice a really challenging part on my instrument, I used to start over every time I made a mistake. This would allow me to run through it more, but it made my brain “pause” every time I made a mistake. Inevitably, when performing live, my brain would sometimes totally shut down if I made any mistake, which was bad! I decided that from then on, I would always finish the part I was practicing, even if I totally fumbled it; because you have to teach yourself to keep going.
That “NO” at the beginning had Oscar winning emotion
Sounds like all of George's "NOs"
Glad to see my 1997 Kalimari Desert fence fluke is finally recreated at last.
WOAH! IT'S THE MARIO KART DUDE!
this is basically what's called a "training scar" in many professions.
lmao perfect. i need to remember this phrase.
Yep, I have heard stories of people who have learned self-defense taking a weapon from their attacker and then giving it back cause that's what they did in training.
Fuck that
@@K3zster the only time I've ever heard that is when reading your comment just now... There's 0 chance of that happening, imo.
@@chucklebutt4470 I don't have anything but anecdotes to go on, but a quick Google revealed this example:
www.usadojo.com/the-danger-of-repetition-in-martial-arts-training/
It is known that in high pressure situations, you revert fully to your training and are not really capable of thinking critically about your actions. So if you have disarmed someone hundreds or thousands of times in training and then handed them the weapon to go again, there is a reasonable probability that you will do the same thing in a real life situation before you have had time to process it.
Muscle memory is a speedrunner's friend and enemy at the same time.

Omg! You're actually right how could I not know!

@@Tabth3778 not everywhere

As a guy who knows literally nothing about speedrunning i can safely say,
This hurt my heart really badly
As someone who has personally experienced that pausing muscle memory nightmare, I can confirm that it is the worst feeling. You've pulled off an insanely unlikely thing, only to have the run destroyed by something as stupid as pausing. Even at that point, your muscle memory is still going sometimes, and you even hit retry before you even have the chance to react.
I KNOW RIGHT. That happens to me too, when I try to grind something and after so long, I actually do it, I just immediately think that I didn’t do it and fall.
I had that but I don't remember the event but still.

I love watching speed runs but I could never try them myself. Too frustrating.
You don't have to learn all the insane frame perfect strats to speedrun a game, it's not so frustrating if you just do them for fun and don't worry about the leaderboards.
I watch Smallant a ton, SMO is way too many frame perfect too many moves i won’t be able to get a time.
Thats how it feels to be a musician, practicing part of a song that messes with your timing.
The one time you do play it correctly, you’re going to mess up the easy part that comes right after, because you weren’t ready.
So basically for Pokémon fans it’s the same as soft resetting over a shiny
It happened to me, specially if the shiny you're hunting for is very similar to the regular colors, if you aren't paying attention when it spawns, it's practically impossible to tell if it's a shiny or not o~o but at least in this case you can try catching the pokemon instead of leaving, but people has left battles with only the chat knowing it was a shiny
8,000 is less than 90,000, and you need skill for this one. the worst in pkmn would be encountering a shiny pokemon in the first route before you have pokeballs
if it takes 1 in 15,000 a 3/3 would be 3.375 trillion
if the odds are 1/90,000 3/3 = 7.29e+14 or 7.29 quintillion
Lol
yea he definitelly cheated
Oh god this is one of my biggest fears when playing, basically throwing everything out of the window because of muscle memory
Finding a shiny and accidentally running away
My whole body ached when you told me it has 1:90.000 chance of happening. Feels really sorry for this guy
Muscle memory: A gift and a curse for Speedrunning.
The dude seemed to take it in stride, not failing to recognize the makings of a viral clip

We were opening fifa ultimate team packs back in 2014 and he was just quick selling all these packs because we were getting nothing good and then out of nowhere he gets the rarest and most expensive card you could get at the time: **Lionel Messi**.
Unfortunately muscle memory kicked in and he accidentally pressed quick sell thus losing out on millions of fifa coins or having the best player possible on your team if he chose to keep it

That is honestly the saddest event I've seen in speedrunning :(
Another great video as always, Karl! One thing I noticed right away was that the TAS + the user's successful attempt happened when the kart was facing a diagonal (diagonal left in this case), compared to all the fails where they were "head on." I am wondering if there is some interesting clipping where part of the kart renders on the other side, thus allowing the rest to render on the other side during the next frame. I am curious if being on the diagonal will help in this instance, and if so, I wonder if using the diagonal will help in other instances that might allow the kart to render partially on the other side to accomplish something, i.e., partial render into a section similar to one of the first clips you showed where the user was speeding into the mountain wall and gaining laps.
Speedrunning is such an amazing community when we find all these awesome bugs and glitches and such!
All the best to you and your family
I think yes, if you aim the kart diagonal, it is more likely to clip.
Oh man I feel so bad for that runner. Amazing video Karl, I’m so stoked to see how massive your channel is getting. Such great content I hoped this would happen :)
Let's take a PAUSE out of our daily life and say a silent prayer for that dude
I’ve also done this when grinding out a super difficult infinite combo. I’ve had runs when I pulled it off and thought I dropped it and resulted in me having to grind for 10 hours due to ending a perfectly good run before I actually pulled it off.
Noob question; how on earth are the odds for these skips actually calculated? How did the speedrunning community even begin to figure out that you can only achieve the fence skip approximately 1 in 90,000 times?
Probably some amount of lining up frames perfectly
I can only imagine the amount of time it took the TAS to be completed with that skip. It looks easy, but tool assisted speedruns can take weeks, if not months, to create.
It's 1 in 90,000 within the normal parameters of play by a top level player. I guess a lot of that is subjective and the number is more conceptual than accurate.
First you'd figure out the margin of error, what is the tollerence for the skip. Which isn't hard with tools where you can align your self perfectly, put your self in any position and at any angle.
Then you can figure out what the normal parameters of play by a top level player are to come within or close to this tollerance. Map it to a graph and select an average that kind of just 'feels right'.
Although I'm sure people who're much better at maths and statistics, who actually know what they're talking about, will know the techniques to properly map this data.
A round number like 90,000 isn't going to be at all accurate. And better players (or players who're accurate more often) will have better odds.
I did some quick search. Not much info but I think I found the answer. In short, when something moves in a video game, it actually "teleports" at the rate of X pixels per frame. In order to make this trick work, the kart has to be above a certain speed, and hits the fence at a specific pixel. At that pixel, the game thinks the kart hit the fence from the other side, therefore the game pushes the kart to that side. So the 1/90,000 is not completely correct because that is the odds if you randomly aim at the fence. After 20ish tries, the player should have decent aim to avoid the wrong parts of the fence and reduce the odds. Experienced gamers should be able to avoid more parts of the fence so their odds should be better.
I used to travel the globe every day to get the most out of my $12 Netflix subscription. As I sat in a hotel room in Lichtenstein watching the 1996 Kurt Russell film Executive Decision, I thought to myself "There's got to be a better way!" and then I watched this video and found out about Nord VPN! Thanks, Karl Jobst!!!!!
Get Windscribe, it's *much* cheaper for the same features.
I'd never thought about needing to intentionally train your muscle memory against speed resetting when repeating a level hundreds of times. That's super tough. Here's to hoping that all those runners grinding like this and slipping up can make lightning strike twice.

1 in 8000 and 1 in 90 000 are on two different levels lol. Cant even compare resetting on a shiny and this.
@@filipisotter5114 thats not what he means, people accidentally reset when hunting for shinies a lot
@@kit2799 I'll repeat this again "resetting over a shiny is nothing compared to this."
People have never reset over a shiny that has a 1 in 90 000 chance to appear, and so the two experiences can barely be compared imo.
Ironically pokemon speedrunners hate finding shiny pokemon since it adds some frames
@@filipisotter5114 They weren't comparing the rarity of the event. Just the action of muscle memory due to repeated fails causing a mistake. You are being obtuse and repeating yourself doesn't make what your saying sound better or more correct.

I've done this in CS 1.6 to completed records. In that game, you write "record xxx" in the console, and then type "stop" to cut the demo file. This creates a playable .dem-file you can watch of your recordign. If you type "record xxx" again, you overwrite the previous replay file. I've done this in numerous occasions with short trickjump demos, and sadly on a national record for distance jumped with a specific technique. :'(

Its like when you're soft resetting for a shiny and you've done the same thing over and over for so long it's become a reflex. I've seen people soft reset out of that shiny encounter on accident. Whenever it's me I always freeze, terrified that my fingers will soft reset the game before I get the chance to tell them not to. Doing something again and again and closing out when it doesn't work is a double edged knife- you can do many attempts quickly, but the chance you squander the 1 time it works as intended is great.
Wow, that's crazy! I calculated some stats and here's what I found for expectations (based on 30 second runs & 1/90,000 chance)
1st Lap: 50% chance success within 519 hrs (22 days)
1st Lap: 95% chance success within 2,250 hrs (93 days)
1st & 2nd Lap: 50% chance success within 5,340 years
1st & 2nd Lap: 95% chance success within 23,000 years
1st, 2nd, & 3rd Lap: 50% chance success within 495,000,000 years
1st, 2nd, & 3rd Lap: 95% chance success within 2,140,000,000 years
