I've been watching Sig all week.


Also he was talking on Vent with some of us yesterday between stars and resets. It was awesome.

Yeah, this was before he started talking on skype with Cosmos/SIcko/Jiano/Jape though. Was just cool to have him directly respond to a question on vent during his brief down times.

Does anyone know why, when going for Whomp Fortress's third star (the one you're supposed to cannon to) he always takes a really roundabout way to get there? He like jumps up onto the second level and collects five coins on the bridge and I have no idea why. It doesn't look faster.

The only way to get it "cannonless" is by approaching the wall form a specific angle.

But even with the right angle it is not a 100% star.

But that's why he does it at the very beginning of the run.

No, not the one you're supposed to break the wall open for, that's the sixth one. I get that one. I'm talking about the other star that's just kind of sitting in the open, on that suspended platform near the cannon. He always takes a really weird route to get there and I can't figure out what purpose it serves. It's the second star in the entire run he gets, so he does it a lot.

What FD meant is that he's giving himself two chances to get the canonless star. If he fails it the first time, he grabs that one

Yeah he only loses a couple seconds taking that route so if he fails on the canonless star on the first attempt he takes the hit in time instead of starting over. I only once saw him get canonless on the first try and he took a shorter route to get that other star.

I sort of missed the final time on that run, what exactly was it? And why does his file say 119 stars at the end?

Also, I missed a couple of big segments of it (especially between CCM and SSL), did he make any huge mistakes that cost him a lot of time? It seems amazing that he could beat the game that fast and still be like a minute off.

Each of the last three times I looked back to check the stream to see where he was at, Mario was jumping out of the pipe at the beginning.

Sig seems to be ridiculously perfectionist with the opening.

It's not so much commentary on how often he restarts, I was just surprised that I kept checking at the exact moment he was restarting the game.

Why is it that he restarts the game so much anyway? Is it because he wants the early part of the game to be perfect because it's not far in, or is the earlier part of the game actually trickier? I'm just amazed that, on the one long run I've seen him do (I've only seen him go past Bob-omb Battlefield once so far), he managed to not goof up horribly on any of the rest of the entire game.

I don't know, honestly; back when I was speedrunning I did multi-segment, so it was usually only a 10 minute segment I'd be restarting.

16 stars finally though; looks like this might be a run.

Sig missed the blue coin, had to slow down to get it, and then the penguin was on Mario's ass the rest of the way down, messing with positioning, causing missed coin-lines.

Yeah, not even sure a reset was correct in that case. Everyone in chat was commenting just how far ahead the run was from the record.

It's so weird how the time starts as soon as you turn the game on and not as soon as you select a file.

I guess that must be the "standard" though.

Standard for this game specifically yeah

Honestly what it probably is is that the very first well-known SM64 speedrun counted from power on, so everyone from then on just followed suit.
