Top Comments of this video!! :3
bro, the fact that Nick Bruiser doesn't ruin runs through luck, but just through sheer difficult execution is actually kinda cool. Even though it makes it so brutal when people lose to him, it just feels cool to me. The art/animation style for him definitely contributes to that though.
Also, this just cements in my mind that Zallard is one of the greatest gamers of all time. Right alongside Matt Turk.

Can we appreciate for a second the fact that there were basically no new strats, no newly found glitches, exploits or techniques, no new routes, no new ways to save an extra frame rule⌠just pure unadulterated skill, and grind versus the odds? this is one of the most straightforward history videos and yet it manages to hit just as hard. pun intended.

Back in the 90s, used to rent this from my local videostore. There was a guy a little older than me who worked certain days and asked me if I was good at the game. We eventually competed against each other for fastest times saved on the cart's Time Attack memory for about a year, lowering each other's times, not letting anyone else rent it. The best part of it all was us not telling each-other in person what new times we achieved and we would only find out when going into time attack mode to see the history. I made a new friend and from that day onward, every game and movie rental from that store was on the house. Thank You Super Punch-Out!

I like the dots with the timeline visual, gives a real sense of how far the community has got. May I suggest coloring the dots based on the runner that achieved the record? Maybe matching their color in the leaderboard and with an indication to the side of who is who, I think it would add a lot to the narrative of the graph. In this case it would show inmediately how many records zallard1 has, showing a lot of orange dots in the early history.

I love that your thumbnail for this is a reference to one of the most legendary footnotes in the history of a speedgame that I know of.
For those who donât know, the thumbnail is a screen cap from one of Zallardâs many attempts, where for some reason, the game bugged out and turned Nick Bruiser green. This glitch, as far as I know, has never been seen before or since. It was a purely visual bug that didnât affect the gameplay, and the run wasnât anything special until it happened. But it was so jarring and strange that âGreen Nick Bruiserâ remained Zallardâs Twitch PFP for many years, and it certainly makes for an interesting footnote.
And thereâs one more tidbit to it; during AGDQ 2014, Zallard performed a blindfolded run of Super Punch-Out. Iâm a momentous and at the time unprecedented achievement, he actually completed the run. And if you look very closely, there is one brief moment lasting less than a second where, unseen by the blinded Zallard or the crowd watching from a distance⌠Nick Bruiser momentarily turned green again.

Flashing lights warning at 38:54 UPDATE: When this video was made, the SPO community's understanding of the probabilities of different RNG events occurring was partially inaccurate. Most notably, the odds in getting low times on Narcis and Hoy were diminished by ~8 and ~3 times what they actually are. So, the odds in FatPotatoSeal's 2:27 paced run at the end is closer to 1/155,000 than 1/2,688,000 - still a really crazy pace, but not quite as mind-boggling as before. I'm sorry for any confusion, but at the time we were working with the best estimates we had available. Thanks to the following people for help with research!
