Sig is on track to get the 120 record back, 25 seconds ahead at shifting sand land and most of the mistakes were in the back end of the run. He can save at least 30 more seconds, easily.

Edit: Nevermind, he hosed up. Might still beat his PB though.

Edit 2: I don't think he'll beat his PB, he really screwed up on the 100 coin star in shifting sand land. Oh well, guess this wasn't the urn.

Edit 3: He got the record back! New time is 1:45:35, and he could probably make it at least a minute faster.

Honey took back the 120 star record with 1:45:41, apparently. Sig has motivation to step up his game which should be good for the rest of the month.

He didn't need the rest of the month. 1:45:35 new record.

That stretch from TTC up till the end is easily the best I've seen him in that particular section of the game.

The last level in particular was drat near perfect.

Sig has said that Honey came up with a lot of the routes and techniques that are used today. Doesn't stream, but just posts on his YouTube page that was linked.

Breakdown continues to amaze as he once again sets a new 106% Super Meat Boy World Record, this time breaking into sub-1:50:xx territory. He was a bit delayed on his split at the finish so it may actually be a second or so faster in reality.

Incidentally, while there is a TAS like that RTA (clocking in at just under 10 min), there's also a TAS using a glitch so ridiculous they had to branch it off into a separate "glitched" category (also a human probably couldn't do this glitch):

It also uses some trickery with Yoshi and a Chargin' Chunk to spit out an "end the level" object on the first level.

While the real level goal is on the screen.

Because it saves a few frames, and that's just how TASes roll. :coal:

If he plays absolutely perfectly from here on out I think a 1:44:xx might be possible, but that is a really tall order.

Not possible any longer, maybe a new WR.

How would a new WR not be possible? He's currently tied for the WR and didn't have a flawless TTC/RR in the WR run.

Edit - Ok, it might not be possible after that error.

So you're the hater, huh?
Hello everyone, I've been quite busy planning and organizing my own charity event but now things are finally squared away with our PayPal account and the venue. September 2-3 at Next Level Arcade is now confirmed!

The event is called Kings of Poverty, which was an old Team Sp00ky tagline in the days when they could still stream themselves playing random games. It will include a day of speedruns as well as a mystery tournament combining competitive games and races, and we will be raising money for the Rape, Abuse, & Incest National Network!

For more info and a link to the planned schedule, go to the Kings of Poverty Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/events/244249092362653/

EDIT: Added the date and made some other minor changes.

"The glitch abuses the fact that Chucks erroneously have the "Give Power-Up when eaten by Yoshi" bit set. Thus, when you eat a Chuck, you get something strange in your reserve box or a crash. When you eat a Clappin' Chuck as Fire Mario, it produces a goal sphere in reserve."
