This is baffling to me.

in a very real sense of authored game design, in bad spirit.

“Glitch runs are boring, non relatable to me as a fellow gamer, and, in a very real sense of authored game design, in bad spirit.”

There’s also a difference between saying “I don’t like this thing” and “This thing is stupid”.

If a designer wanted to give you a shortcut, he would design it into the game.

It’s impressive that someone found this and it’s impressive to showcase it once as an interesting NES glitch. Obviously it will not be impressive to ever do this again.

Not unless the bat made the credits show up.

A lot of these comments seem to not understand the speed running community.

I can’t fathom how someone could be so upset over something so trivial.

I hope you find some meaningful purpose in life.

I just built this last month, and the parts alone were 160 dollars. Before wood, tools, paint, poly, and whatever my hourly labor rate would have been had I been paid to do it (it took my roughly 3 days to build, so lets say I made what I make at my job - $22 dollars per/h x 3 days at 8 hours a day = $528). So parts…

yeah these people should stop having fun because you don’t have fun in the same way

Yeah, I wouldn’t personally count it as a “speedrun” but it’s a neat gimmick for the show.

Id say in game glitches count.

Please tell me they were yelling “Team Rocket is blasting off again!” as they were being pulled away to the car.

Isn’t this the point of the game? Go to real-life locations, find some pokemon or trainer, fight them, and the winner gets the loser’s pokemon and wallet? I mean, that’s how I’ve been playing. I nailed an 8 year old in the knee with a tire iron for a sweet Jigglypuff and some pogs.

Using glitches and using cheats are two completely different things, and the community makes very clear distinctions on what is acceptable. Also, there are different categories for each game. Mitch performed the any% run of SM3, which means finishing the game as fast as possible. He also runs the other categories, one…

It’s about how much you can humanly do without external assistance. If you can humanly and reliably pull off a glitch that cuts down time, I’d liken that more to being a marathon runner who takes the inside lane.

not just unpopular but stupid as well.

Didn’t take long for “That Guy” to show up
