World Record The Last of Us any% NG+ in 2:11:58 [World Record]

Thumbnail youtube.com
20 Upvotes

This might be the final minute barrier, at least for a looong time. I'm very happy with this run, even though it has some timelosses. I managed to show all the newer stuff like the backwards launches or the new setup for the skip at the end of Capitol. I also had to go for Coal Mine 1 skip, which led to the craziest moment in my 11 years of speedrunning this game. Especially in 2023, 2024 and 2026, this category underwent many changes and the skill ceiling and optimization are out of this world, now. This is the most intense category with the most tricks out of all TLoU speedruns, and many of them are very technical.

What actually happened to Chibi?

0 Upvotes

I don’t really know where else to post as it seems Chibis name is not known in other subs. What happened to him following the paper Mario cheating incident? I am aware the he was trolled constantly and had pizzas delivered to his place regularly from said trolls and that he apparently moved to Japan?

I’ve heard quite a few things about his life, from being aggressive towards women at Speed run events and exchanging nudes with minors (he was 19 and she was 17? But I heard he may have been 18 and shared nudes with a girl aged 15 but I’m not sure if that’s actually true). Im curious to know if all of these things were actually true and I would honestly want to see proof that these things did happen. If there is a different place I could post for better explanations then please let me know, but in concluding im wondering if all those allegations against him are true (with proof) and if he is still uploading today?

World Record Disney's Atlantis (PS1) - All Levels in 0:50:19 [1st WR since 2023]

Thumbnail youtu.be
22 Upvotes

This makes the All Levels category officially over 2 minutes shorter than Any% was when I first started running the game about 5 years ago, and that's with 2 whole additional levels, which coincidentally also happen to be the longest ones in the run...

As someone who's used to running a lot of popular games and not really caring about becoming top level at them, I'm very happy and proud about how much I've been able to push one of my childhood favorite games over the years of on and off grinding! :)

Wrong Warp to Final Boss Discovered in Battle For Bikini Bottom (GC version)

Thumbnail youtu.be
108 Upvotes

A new glitch was discovered where throwing more than 32 tikis out of bounds can overwrite critical game memory. Almost instantly, it starts overwriting warp tables.

Special care must be taken to prevent the game from crashing horribly.

This requires 2 TAS-like throws for some float-perfect setups, so it is not viable in RTA Any% yet.

- "High Punch Trick" exploit is allowed in this category, although it is not used on every character as not every character can do it efficiently due to AI pattern and hit box differences. It is used wherever possible to save time.

This might be the biggest discovery the game has ever seen since this note door has bottlenecked the Any% category for decades. It should save around 25-30 minutes if done optimally.

6 years ago OoT players raced a ridiculous challenge. A full glitchless run on our practice ROM with all textures removed, and the only visuals being the hitboxes of actors. On the anniversary of the race this year, tomorrow October 11th at 9am Eastern, a dozen of us are going to do it again! ​Expect an all-day event, since last time the winning time was just shy of 10 hours lmao https://youtu.be/-OuhyyRUuyk
