I mean an old video with very low quality is not the same FPS as a recorded video of today on OBS with high bitrate and 60 fps recording...How are they sure that the recording didn't miss a frame somewhere and therefore, that would be why the counting is off?

Man, even though I knew about this method I still watched the whole video and the 12 minutes flew by. That's why you're one of the very few channels that I'm subscribed to and have "rung the bell" so I see every video you post. I've literally watched every video on your channel and I consider it time well spent. Also, big congratulations on 1M subs - I don't remember how many you had when I initially subscribed (I want to say I remember it being sub 100k? I remember I first started watching when you did your first Doom Eternal video and then uploaded a Celeste video next and from there I was hookeD) but that's an insane milestone and you 100% deserve it. All the best from across the gap in NZ, Ashfold.
I’ve seen every video now that you’ve done in the last 3-4 years, at least within 24 hours of the upload. I love your channel

What pisses me off the most in cases like this is that the guy clearly had the skill to speedrun at a high level but either got impatient or greedy.

@aspuzling
Ай бұрын
I think this has been mentioned in other Karl Jobst videos but there is a tendency for highly skilled players to feel justified in cheating because they think they have the skills necessary to achieve a record anyway. Often they will say something like "I was only speeding up the time it would take to grind to get the right RNG for WR". They think it's not cheating because they are just tipping the scale of luck rather than skill. Even in a run like SM64 where RNG is less important, you can argue that whether you get BLJ on your first try is just a matter of luck once you know how to do it.

Grats on 1 mill subs Karl!
Looking at spectrograms of the audio is genius! We use similar tech to detect seizures from changes in brain wave frequencies.
Massive shoutout, to actually having a sponsorship, that potentially could get some people to read a book (if they dont listen to the audiobook)

Read or listen, I don't care so long as you're enjoying the story!
Just like Link is called Thief once you steal something in the shop, we should call the cycle the "Cheater Cycle" now.
You want the truth? Just look into Mario’s eyes.

YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!
Karl, you Absolute Legend. I've started to worry, and just last night found out what you've been going through recently. I wish you the best of health and lots of time to rest up with your family! Thank you for your perseverance and work! Take good care of yourself!
1:39 “Historically, the most common way to detect splicing is by looking for anomalies in the” *audio splice* “audio track.” Very smooth, Karl
This makes me feel a bit sad, because even though cheat finding methods have been advancing, this shows that even old scores can stick around for this long, and cheating methods themselves also advance. It's important to keep increasing standards for speedrunning and challenge running that makes cheating more unlikely. Finding that stuff from blinking is very genius, really shows how deeply runners understand the games they play. Thanks for the video!

It's also sad on another level. You'd think before speedrunning got as popular as it is today the people actually had some sort of honor code about it. But apparently not. Cheater galore since day one.

It's not really that genius. The way these people analyze the game it's actually shocking it took until now for someone to realize the consistent blinking could be used to detect spliced runs.

It was stupid to go out of your way to protect a nickname of a speedrunner
Love these! Thanks man!
I can't believe the speed running community counts the number of blinks Mario does an entire run to confirm or deny a world record. That's some next level dedication

pannenkoek being called a super mario 64 scientist is so funny

He literally is, though. He makes a theoretical framework for what is possible in SM64, and then be backs up his hypotheses with experimental evidence.

@@RadkeMaiden yeah i know that, but like calling somebody who play/create TAS for a video game a scientist will always be funny to me. I think you see what i mean, like the common perception of scientist is quite different from people like pannenkoek even though i agree that based on the definition, we could call pannekoek a scientist.

Congrats on reaching the 1M subscribers milestone!
YAY!! Just noticed the 1 million. You deserve every single one of them with your hard work. Gratz man!
It's always fascinating to see how the smallest detail snowballs into the complete deconstruction of a record. Also hope you're doing well after the surgery Karl!
Love the video as always ❤❤ please Karl i beg u stop putting thé light on cheaters ! M'y favorites videos of you are Always the Legends that legitimately go above and beyond.. especially the Dooms WR ❤❤❤
Wait that's actually kinda cool how actual books are giving out sponsors. At first I thought it was just an audible ad lol.

They should change the name to "blink cycle," lol. Great video, as always, mate. Thank you.

I appreciate the splices when explaining how to detect splicing
I love watching these videos, they are so informative, I love speedruns but I don’t speedrun myself because I lack the skill and patience, but even after watching hundreds of these across the years I still cant really tell if a run is fake or not, it amazes me to see how the community is so dedicated and talented to notice even the smaller details, thanks a bunch Karl you always tech me new stuff.
Congratulations to 1 mil subscribers. Always enjoy your videos.
I really like that you were sponsored by a specific like book series. That's so cool
Was not expecting a pannenkoek name drop here but hell yeah I’m glad people are discovering him.
Grats on the 1M subs, stoked for you man.
Yo, welcome back, Karl. I was starting to miss your videos.
the level of commitment, expertise, investigation and detail of your videos (and the entire community) never ceases to amaze me. i always had great admiration and fascination for speedrunners and never realized how deep some of these rabbitholes go. even for legitimate runs, so let alone the cheating part of things. thanks for the outstanding content. you have an extremely well balanced format (in all of your videos) that goes into the lore, detail and history to the point it's understandable for anyone with hardly any prior knowledge like myself.
I rarely ever click on ads, but you got me here. Good sponsorship choice. Never had an audible subscription. Starting the Ascendant audio book right now. Cheers!
in the current online landscape of streaming and pro gaming being a highly popular and financially lucrative thing, cheating in a game is like robbing a bank with no possibility of jail time. bad people can just cash out big time by being fake (and they are) and theres probably a LOT of people on twitch and youtube cheating right now. some of the biggest creators have been caught cheating, and even in huge tournaments theres people caught cheating.
whilst it makes sense it was just forgotten due to how short it lasted and such, i do find it interesting this record wasn't mentioned at all in summoning salt's 16 star video, where he specifically said he wouldn't mention cheated runs, yet it of course wasn't known as cheated at the time
Love your content Karl
Wow. It's amazing what simple details go overlooked for so long, only to become important later.
Can't wait to see more! Another great video!
My friends, it just keeps happening- Wait, wrong speedrun channel.
This is awesome!! I love the thinking outside the box!
Missed you, Karl! Great video!
