Super Meat Boy 20:10 any% Single Segment. No Deaths.

This is amazing. I've played SMB for dozens of hours, and I couldn't imagine running through the game without dying, let alone with such perfect precision as this guy.

I applaud you, sir.

I didn't see the WR run, but I have watched Cyghfer's attempts for hours throughout the past few days - he seems like a cool enough guy. I still don't understand the mind-set a speedrunner must have - he, for example, has been playing Super Mario RPG for two years. I just don't understand how somebody can pour so much effort into such a game.
