"I've never been to 8-4 this fast... literally tied with the TAS"

Really impressive history made with this run. At this point runs could probably just be timed with "Frames left to perfection" instead of real time. Really curious on how far this category will be pushed now, huge congrats to Niftski and thanks a lot for the side-by-side comparison!

I cant believe TAS didnt get any follower pop ups during such an epic run

Very satisfying comparison, I hope Niftski continues to push a little bit further, he clearly has the skill right now.

awesome comparison!

Imagine there's a bus that leaves the level every 21 frames...

Wow, I never thought a run assisted with tools was possible, but here we are.

I watched this run live, the spam was wild

Niftski: someone should make a TAS compari—

Niftski is just pure insanity of a human being! What a record!

theoretically, it is possible to do L+R with a controller, because if you manage to hit both at the same frame, the game counts it as at the same time.

Niftski (4:54.631) VS Thermonuclear Explosives

TAS tied in just 2 segments. History has been made.

all that’s left is the 22 frames in 8-4, good luck niftski, I’m expecting a 4:54.5xx soon, hope he can completely tie the TAS in the future :)

SHOULDVE WAITED FOR THIS BEFORE DOING THE POPOFFS TIER LIST

There's probably a reason for this that idk about, but: Why in 4-2 does Niftski go for that pipe bounce at the end instead of taking the same pathing the TAS does? He's ahead of the TAS until he takes that slower route and it looks like it's harder to pull off. Would it not be fast enough to save a full framerule?

This is so fire

Do I understand this right, the time lost against tas is
