Eh... I think it's "uber," not "urber."


I did a typo so shush.

You kept on doing it multiple times, which means you probably didn't know the real spelling. If it had only been a typo I wouldn't have said anything. Sorry.

Note that people DO make fake videos of these kinds of things. You can't really fake glitches, but people do piece together videos, like in speedruns, to make it SEEM like they did it quickly/etc. when they didn't. For example, when you have a certain glitch you have to do on a speedrun, CHANCES ARE you will mess up once or twice. Sometimes people cut the mistakes they make from the video so it looks like they got the glitch right the first time every time. I've known of people doing that...

But generally, yeah, it is pretty cool. And not everyone does that, fortunately.

Thats why in Speedrunning, you do Segments of the same part of the gameplay many times, for example, if you had to preform a really hard glitch in a speedrun, and you screwed it up, you'd keep redoing it untill you get it right, then record how fast it took you, fastest segment gets put into the speedrun, its bascally a way to get a faster time, and save space with the final video, instead of uploading it as one huge video, upload it as segments.

Yeah, sure. Some people do that. But I would much more appreciate a serious speedrun where they don't edit out mistakes like that. Like if they have to redo something... Okay, they have to redo something.

It's almost cheating a lot of people who think "OMG LOL YOU DID THAT ALL AT ONCE FOR REEEAAAL?!" Which is awesome when they actually do. But I would much rather watch an honest video of a speedrun that has a couple extra minutes because they messed up on a glitch.

well in most cases you never watch it as one whole video, normally you watch it in segments anyway. but i see your point, but i also see how it helps the Speedrunning community too.

I watched a speedrun of Mario 64 and also a speedrun of a handheld Zelda game. I think it was Link's Awakening, but I can't remember.

I didn't totally watch them all the way through. For the Zelda one, I had it running for quite a while. An hour and a half? Two hours? I don't remember, but I watched it while doing other things. As for the Mario one, I watched about half of it while working on other things. I was really impressed... Until I found out that the Mario one had actually been pieced together.

Okay, picture it this way. You're trying to get through FF9 in 12 hours. (Which you do to get the best weapon, blah blah.) Do you actually do it in 12 hours? NO. You go to a shop, pick out what you want to buy, reset the game, go back, buy everything in like three seconds. You fight a boss, decide it took too long, reset the game, etc. (Well, I don't think someone would do a speedrun of a game like this, it's just a totally different type of game. I just mean you didn't ACTUALLY do it in 12 hours.)

It's cool and all, and speedruns/12 hours/whatever take a lot of planning and etc., but like... think about it. "WHOO I HAS A SPEEDRUN OF 2 HOURS ON MARIO." Did you REALLY do it in 2 hours, or did you cut out the parts you messed up? (or restarted, etc?) It's all still pretty cool, but it's not the same.

That's all I'm saying, with a ton of explanation, whoo hoo. XD
