The "Luckiest" Speedrun in Perfect Dark History: Real or Fake? [Complete Analysis]

Ойындар

On May 31, 2011; a man whom not much is known about, posted an incredible World Record speedrun on Perfect Dark's Attack Ship level... 4 seconds untied ahead of 2nd place. The run immediately became one of the most contentious in the game's history, with the runner getting luck even he himself believed to be in "one in a million" territory.
After years of periodic study, and now months of close examination, I've analyzed this legendary run and leave the question up to you... do you think Chuya actually got this World Record? Or are the combination of questionable factors surrounding the run too much to overlook?

    As someone who has caught many cheaters in the past, having friends of the accused come out and say ""he doesn't cheat because i am friends with him"Is completely meaningless, he may or may not be legit, but these type of comments never help anything, and in my experience are more common when the person has infact cheated.

    Here’s a bit of moderately incredible proof which your video provides: The spawn time of the last aliens wasn’t known when Chuya did his record speed run, yet it still complies with that rule. I don’t know the answer, I’m not even a gamer, but it does seem plausible: When luck is involved (Random Number Generators) the best runs will always contain extremely low statistical probabilities at the highest level of competition. The key for me is that Chuya’s run complies with a then-unknown rule to a few tenths of a second. That seems highly improbable unless it is in fact genuine. Just a thought.

    Statistician checking in here. The odds of getting at least 3 successful checks in the first 35 is about 0.035%, or 1 in 2,815. What you're missing in your calculations are the many combinations which are slower on 1-2 of the 3 segments, but still faster overall. For what it's worth, I have serious doubts about your methodology in general here. Speedrun.com has half a million database entries. Those uploaded runs likely represent about 50-100 million attempts at various categories and games. Events less likely than this have happened hundreds of thousands of times. When you begin to look at short runs which contain large amounts of RNG, it's only natural that the leaders in those categories got incredibly lucky.

Actually the question wasn't "what are the chances that some speedrunner listed in speedrun.com playing a short game with large amounts of RNG would get 1/14000 odds" the question was "How likely is the outcome of this one very particular run". I would have probably approached the problem similarly to goose; counting the total number of states possible for the denominator, counting the number of states where there were 33 success and 3 fails, and subtracting the number of those states that would result in the right door opening too quickly... idk

    I have a WR in an almost completely RNG Arcade game. It took literally about 10k completed runs to even have 7-10 chances at a good score, chances. I have 4 APWR runs and just from the RNG side of things, those magical times might not even come up as often than the statistics show. My game is 1:39 secs long and had, what I considered, 4 segments. Most, and I mean most like 95% of runs were over in 5 to 15 secs. I was lucky and the reset to starting was near instantaneous and I even reset to start 9/10 games-before they even began, because of the pre-start RNG. With 10k games completed (I once played like 7 hrs straight) and nearly 9x that never even began, I had 4 runs “above previous world record” . . . . . But there was a run . . . . . So unlikely . . . . I had broken the 2p world record with a friend earlier and was hot. We had taken a break and stopped filming. I popped back on to stay loose and I literally doubled the Previous WR. It’s an inconceivable score. The game is 40+ years old and no one could imagine a score like this possible. I have a photo but no video. I broke the game. I cracked the physics and had theeeee best luck with the RNG. I’m kinda glad I didn’t get the video because it’d’ve killed anyone’s hope of ever scoring on that game ever again. The RNG is unlikely but it’s there, you just have to place yourself in the right position to take advantage of it when it pops up in your favor. I think the Perfect Dark video is real, he shoots the last dude with like three shots. As soon as I saw that I had instant flashes to what I considered imaginary timers for events (#3 spawning) going off in my head (like the QB’s ‘in the pocket’ timer, in football) Oh snap, it just hit me, if the hypothesis is the video is faked. Would he have used a TAS? If so, how would the TAS respond to the RNG of the #1 spawning/shooting/turning/reacting to right door opening? With the odds that the video states, it seems MORE probably that what we saw was a human reacting to badass RNG than a TAS made to take advantage of a 1/11k ending. What did I miss? And the Arcade game was Death Race :)

    So I'm not an expert in Perfect Dark's inner game mechanics at all, in fact, I have no idea how it works...BUT I am a programmer and I can potentially add some insight that wasn't mentioned in this video: 1. You said that every 2-4 frames, a 'byte check' is made. It is likely that the in-game 'byte checks' are determined using a modulus on the frame number the game has played on. so in other words: if [FRAME_NUM_NOW] % 3 == 0, then BYTE_CHECK If the discrepency between 2-4 happens only at the beginning and end of a sequence, then this would possible explain why. However, if the 2-4 frame check variance occurs midway through a time period (how you would you ever even know?), its possible that the same modulus check is being used, just not on the frame number, but something else. 2. Your probability calculations are not entirely reliable. In all of your calculations, you are assuming that each probably of a successful check is independent. In the case of computers/video games (especially older game like Perfect Dark), they would be using whats known as a 'pseudo random number generator'. This actually the very opposite of random. a PSRN works off an 'initial seed' value, and from there the next 'random' number can be exactly determed. It is what's known as a pure function -> the same input will always produce the same output. So for instance, lets say the PRNG algorithm is called f(x), where x is the seed. If the initial seed is 10, then f(x) will come at as 238 (as an example) every single time 10 is input. That value of 238 becomes the new seed to the next call for a random number: f(10) -> 238 f(238) -> 17 f(17) -> 111 f(111) -> 3 and so on. The purposes of these PRNG functions is to simulate randomness, despite being completely deterministic. Knowing this means that the probability of success on Check 2 might be dependent on Check 1. And Check 3 is dependent on Check 2, who was dependent on Check 1. I know some other speed runners in other games have reverse engineered the random number generators used in games in order to benefit their 'luck'. As for how Perfect Dark works though...I have no idea, but its pretty much guaranteed that its using some sort of PRNG. Just my 2 satoshi.

  • @handsomebrick

    Seems like another case of a PAL user in Japanese territory, which pretty much explains the terrible capture feed. The only thing I can think of is this guy had to have known something about the level since the forums showed he's hit a 19 ending before he even set a 2:06 (claiming a 19 ending on a 2:13 run). That means that not only are the odds of getting a 19 ending are so low only 1 person has done it, but he has done it on multiple occasions. Maybe PAL version has something different in this level? I don't know much about perfect dark or the expansion pak (much less for PAL), but when you enable 480i (576i here), doesn't the game run at 30fps? If so, is it possible that maybe the game does a doubly byte check at the end (2 byte checks every frame instead of 1)?

If you have a microoven that is on they can interrupt the signal or even a light switch that is "almost" on is quite normal also to get bad quality. But how likely is that if you think about it? I did have a few recored movies back then that was "good" quality and often after 1,5-2 hours it would just be shaking or some inteeferrenc.

    Real of Fake should be not the question here. Should the video be disqualified for such poor quality, no audio, and no time stamp. I can forgive the audio, I can forgive the quality. The time stamp should have had this video disqualified for the very reason that we are all having such a hard time crunching the numbers. The time stamp should be a required method to put this all to rest once and for all. No stamp? Disqualified! No matter how good it seems. My 2 cents after watching this. As there is no way I would be able to know. Sucks for the dude who got the record but if you can't play by a set of defined parameter rules, people will cheat and find a way to usurp those very parameters set. The time stamp was there for a reason and you glaze over it like it shouldn't matter that much. It should be a key point.

    You can actually find out whether these times are possible if you analyze the random algorithm in Perfect Dark, considering the fact that random algorithms aren't random you can find out (by seeding correctly) if it is possible. And due to it being pseudo-random the actual chance of this happening could be SIGNIFICANTLY less, because similar "byte patterns" is essentially predetermined, so to ACTUALLY determine the chance you would have to know the entire pseudo-random byte pattern.

    Absolutely true. Even if the odds are truly 1 in 11,000 that doesn't mean it should be suspicious to have been obtained. Sometimes crazy shit happens, once but never again. Sometimes you try and never get it. Some people hit a 1 in 3 million odds on a lottery scratcher buying only one in their lifetime. On the flip side I've personally bought tens of thousands and the best prize I've hit had odds of 1 in 3,600, and I was still lucky to get that. Odds are the furthest thing you can get from black and white when it comes to consistency. Always expect exceptions and never expect to get what you know is possible. You might get 100,000 "perfect" runs on Attack Ship Agent and never get this ending. This run could very well be real. It could be fake. Given that people have analyzed the video as best as possible given the quality and have not conclusively proved it to be fake, I think there's a better chance of it being real than fake and should be left alone until proven otherwise.

    Leaves don't fall at specific times to specific spots "all the time". I would venture a guess that it's never happened before actually. Go try it yourself. Go in your yard and look at a leaf on a tree. Then pick a random time and a random position on the ground and see if it falls then/there. It won't. But if you look at a leaf already on the ground, it's a lot easier to "feel" like it was statistically likely to end up there.

    I had a look into this myself out of curiosity, I think Chuya did do it legit, but I would’ve taken down the record until Perfect Ace matched it a few years ago. The awful quality is because Chuya was trying to record a PAL N64 on an NTSC-J VCR, it technically recorded, but the video was in black and white and shuddered constantly. Chuya was running on PAL because Attack Ship is heavily advantaged on PAL as the region impacts Elvis’s behaviour. The lack of timer and audio is suspicious, but he might’ve just disabled the timer as he knew it was unreadable anyway to reduce the distraction. The audio isn’t as suspicious either considering video did once exist with original audio, and the run was likely verified with this, but only the music video survived since these were more popular in the Japanese scene, only the more popular one got reuploaded. Although the lack of timer and audio makes it much easier to hide a splice, the shaking video actually makes it a lot harder, since you’d need to make the shaking match up, and a splice is made more unlikely by the fact that the alien spawn times (unknown at the time of the run) match the legit values to within a few 10ths of a second, if the run was spliced without this knowledge they’d be really unlikely to match. Even the music chosen seems suspicious, a song called One in the Million on a run with almost unbelievable luck? Well, that’s not as bad as you’d think considering the music was likely chosen *because* of the luck, being dubbed over after the video was filmed. The run seems suspicious on the surface, but in reality it would harder to cheat than people expect, and since

    You assume numbers to be random, but they are just an LFSR sequence. There's usually only tens thousands of possible sequences. Should disassemble and check, but... and if it checks against a piece of ROM, then the result is even less random. Also you're looking at the footage and watching for a splice. But there won't be a splice. What for? When all you need is better luck, just modify the ROM with a Game Shark. And there will likely never be proof! Even if the footage was at good quality and had its audio, there still wouldn't be proof.

    it seems to me that (as you also mentioned) the wobble in the video could be there to help hide a splice, or it could be an artifact from recording/editing. if the wobble was added to help hide a splice then stabilizing the video would highlight it otherwise why bother making it wobble? it seems to me on first impressions that each frame jumps side to side so if you were to bring the odd frames left a touch and the even frames right a touch so they both line up perfectly again then it would become a stable video and then any jumping that happens after the wobble is removed would be evidence of a splice, unless im missing something on just how the wobble presents itself it should be a simple thing to do in an editing suite. as for the youtube account getting closed down due to copyrights. that is commonly encountered, if you get just 3 ongoing copyright claims at the same time on your account then you are gone. only if you can resolve a copyright claim properly before a thrid occurs or prove the claims are not legitimate can you avoid it, besides not using copyrighted materials obviously. many channels have been closed down temporarily due to a few spurious copyright claims and many more closed permanently due to real copyright claims mounting up. perhaps when he uploaded them he thought they would be safe there and so didnt keep his own copies? Sounds silly but maybe he never foresaw the big copyright banhammer that youtube put in place becoming a problem. the odds are slim but very plausible. without audio to analyze theres only the video to scrutinize. if after making it stable there isnt anything evident then its possible that the odds of it being real are higher than it being fake. this might be one of those claims that never gets resolved due to the evidence being flawed

    on the order of 1/30, remember to get below a 2:10 is around say ~1/500 luck, remember the end is almost all about luck. There is next to no gameplay at the end. Thus *anyone* needs 1/500 luck at the end, then there is a chance that in fact you get an extra 1/30 on top of that (to make ~1/14000) luck a simliar thing could be on the Goldeneye 007 levels: Frigate Secret Agent, (gooses first Goldeneye Speedlore episode) Hostages complete extra randomly so. you could have lots of say 1:04 pace runs but NONE complete; then as you play you get better at the stage and your pace lowers on average to 1:02 before a run just magically (aka randomly) completes. Thus you skipped strait from 1:05 to 1:02 because of the RNG factor. On that Level Perfect Ace Ryan Isran went from 1:01 to 0:59 UWR; skipping 1:00. And then later that month LP went from 1:00 (previous UWR) and skipped 0:59 and got the new UWR of 0:58 on a luck baised stage like Frigate SA (or 00A) your PB could go several seconds lower with great RNG on a fast paced run.

    Thinkimg outloud: That shakey vid without sound would make it easier to splice. Is it possible to use tool assist on this game? Then the number of runs could be automated untill the situation is encountered.Is it possible to disable sound and or color from the game. If so, would that have a performance effect. Is it possible to change memory settings? Approaching this from a how would one cheat.

    Simply put there is not enough evidence to say whether is real or fake. So it should not be considered a legitimate world record, until new evidence comes out. Other than that fantastic Analysis, can only imagine all the work to make this. Truly remarkable and inspiring. Keep it up.

    Wouldn't that mean the opposite? It's possible that it's real and there isn't enough evidence to show that it isn't, so we should give them the benefit of the doubt and count it. Maybe put an asterisk with a note pointing out the issues to make people feel better. The quality is obviously garbage but if other runs of similarly bad quality are accepted then this shouldn't be an exception just because of how lucky it is. Now I only follow Elite running through this channel so it's possible those runs have been purged and if so this should go too for that reason alone, but my understanding based on every single Rutzou run ever shown here is that abysmal quality is still counted. Of course, it would be totally reasonable to just stop counting all runs of quality so low they cannot be properly analyzed and if things like this are an issue in the community then that might be the best move forward. They could even take a half measure and maintain two sets of records, one including all runs and one of only the runs that can be verified. That would be more work but would allow us to track both "the confirmed best times" and "the possible best times, if you believe in miracles." But in any case it seems like a change in the community as a whole would need to take place before any action is taken on this particular run since it's not actually impossible (which is the way most other faked runs are discovered, not just "this is unlikely" but "this literally cannot happen in the code") and presumably meets the current low bar for quality standards.

    there's no way to know. obviously, assuming something is fake because of how good the RNG is is ridiculous, shiny pokemon are 1/8000, so if we assume that anything near 1/10k is fake, then shiny pokemon would be 'impossible.' assuming it's fake because of the lack of video quality is another overreach. does a high-quality run ACTUALLY have a lower chance to be faked? or is it just that in a world without strict proof standards, it becomes easier to disguise cheating? there's no way to know for sure, just like any other record. ace and karl could be conning us, we have no way to know for certain. even if you were to watch karl in person, there's still the possibility that he's some nefarious mastermind capable of faking live performance.

    I don't think the pokemon is a fair comparison because at the rate that you see pokemon it is statistically more likely. Especially amongst people who shiny hunt. Remember (at the base 8192 chance) the odds of you seeing at least 1 shiny pokemon after 5,678 encounters is exactly 50% and you're seeing pokemon constantly. Where as using RWG's own words there have only been roughly 200 runs that have been on world-record pace. Even assuming that he amounts to 25% of them that is still .4%, less than half a percent. All that said it's technically possible in the same way that you could get a shiny pokemon as your starter on your first ever pokemon so there's not enough proof to disprove it. While it DOES break the uploading guidelines now it didn't back then and I don't like the idea of invalidating a run with rules created after the fact so I don't think it should be removed too.
