Speedrunning is mental illness>When you rag on the N64 controller like a gorilla for a speedrun the stick last 1 year at best>Need original controller or you can't set a muh legitimate record>Original controllers with good sticks are dwindling>Runners amassing hundreds of controllers>Weekly or monthly disassembling the controller and oiling the components>Paying hundreds for a 'graded' controller>All so you can keep repeating the same segments of a 30 year old children's videogame for 10.000 hours so you can make a semi-random jump 2 frames faster
you forgot to mention what's wrong with it, you need the best equipment for any competitive hobby retard
>>683811739You tell him, sis!
>>683811521>Speedrunning is mental illnessyes? has anyone ever debated this? who are you arguing with retard?
>>683811521Sounds like modern day priests, going through the rituals of the church of videogames
STICK CRISIS
Half the time you see some speedtranny gloating about his world record you can usually find a faster time on youtube by some jap, who just didnt follow their retarded guidelines so it doesnt count.Or the countless people who would easily be top 5 or top 10 but arent autistic enough to buy a console for it so their time also doesnt count.They make these dumbass rules so they can arbitrarily make themselves the recordholders.
>>683811739If you'd see an unkempt unemployed man tossing a tennis ball against a wall for years straight, 15 hours a day until it bounces off a corner and lands in another courtyard only to then immediately start doing it again he'd be sent to a mental hospital
>>683811739Is what OP said real? In what world is an N64 joystick the best? I remember it being simultaneously stiff and rubbery at the same time with awful feedback.
>>683812821It's a cheaply produced children's toy, a hunk of plastic. Better pay up or you can't spend the next 10.000 hours grinding and repeating SM64 carpet skiphttps://streamable.com/x57ukn
>>683811521>let me lubricate your control's stick bro!
>>683813856LMAO are you really using low grade controller lubrication oil? You'll never become a real speedrunner
>>683811521>speed running is mental illness we know anon.
>>683812821no he's stupid. no one speedruns with an original stick there's overpriced third party ones like steel stick and brewstick. some also use horipads but those have similarly sensitive sticks like the original one
>>683811521>Need original controller or you can't set a muh legitimate recordJust use emulators and a modern controller and give zero fucks about the community considers "legitimate". The truth is if the barrier of entry is unreasonably high, new players will either play the more convenient way or the game will die, and as more people gravitate towards competing in the low barrier of entry category, the more accepted it will become.There will always be some transgender fucker that clings to their zero-competition niche "legitimate" category, but all the cool bros that like competition will adapt. Talking from experience.
>>683817006it's just a separate category. you can do emu or vc runs of mario 64 but it's a less serious category that's still minutes behind the console world record despite having no lag
