my record was broken....

scott kessler got a 5:08, I am trying to tie him now.

Damn! Well, you better get to gettin' on it ;) Man, I didn't think it would be possible to get faster than that myself.

almost beat it today.

You can't let you beat by a guy named Scott!
Hang in there and get that record back.

yeah c'mon, show ol' Scotty-boy who's boss. you're the Mario Master.... not him!

I agree with you when it comes to that andrewg has to beat that guy because he's the SMB1 master, but what does the name "Scott" have to do with it?

I think i just got a 5:09.1, this is impossible.

He probably lucked out. Have you studied his video?

yeah, I'm a game unit faster, yet he has a 5:08... it's pretty lame. yeah, it was really the fact that his 4-2 performance was good enough to make his run better.

on the bright side i got 47.64 on track 1 in Excitebike.
I probably will send that to SDA probably along with an improved smb1 full completion time.

I don't know your current strategy, but make sure you are:

-Using the pipe in 1-1

-Skipping POWerups except in 1-2, so you can break out to the cieling and do a full run

-Recklessly jumping over stray hammer brothers in 8-3/

That's what I do. I don't know if it helps, but it seems to be the three key tactics for me. Rise up against the Scott empire! Sic semper tyrannis!!!

Lol. You obviously don't know andrewg. This guy beats the game within a few seconds of the fastest time physically possible. He knows his way around.

I almost found a faster way to do something... but I guess not.
