Jukebox's 19-second speedrun of e1m1 was the most famous record in all of Quake. This is the story of how Kisimov achieved the unthinkable and broke it after six years.

Uses the new trick described here: https://lemmy.world/post/39313553

From the description:

Insane run. This beats Matt Turk's fastest run with his eyes open. This would have been the eyes open single segment record until March 2013.

I used RNG Manipulation on Honda 1 and Hippo to make good luck more likely - this is permitted for blindfolded runs as the timing takes place between fights when you can have your blindfold off. Even if you weren't allowed to take the blindfold off, we could use an audio cue just as easily to set up the manipulations.

Beyond that, it was a super clean run with yet another 2:3X on Tyson at the end. Small timesaves possible on Bull 1, Don 2, and Sandman. 16:2X is technically possible with a perfectly lucky run but I feel no need to try for that.

I DID IT! I got the world record back, and with it, the first ever sub 1:10! iIm actually very proud of this run. The movement and combat is getting so optimised now and while the category is still brutally difficult, i find it extremely enjoyable to throw myself against Pharloom's challenges.

This beats Niftski's 4m 54s 565ms from 7 months ago by 3 frames

First EVER Untied World Record with 8-5 Walljump Setup and DFA! This grind was absolutely grueling, I spent months on and off going for this world record and had absolutely awful fails like my 4:54.748, but it's absolutely awesome to have finally clutched out this world record and ended the 4 year drought of new WR holders. As of now I'm unsure of my plans to continue with this category, but I'm excited to see what Niftski, LeKukie, and others have in store for the future of this category.

Beating his own 2 year old WR of 18m54.864s by 5 seconds!

The timer said 18:49.961 but retimed at 18:49.972

Notice regarding the use of Nintendo Co., Ltd. games in RTA in Japan

2025-08-04

We would like to explain how we have come to use games for which Nintendo Co., Ltd. holds the copyright (hereinafter referred to as "Nintendo games") in RTA in Japan, and why Nintendo games are not being used in RTA in Japan Summer 2025, as well as our future actions.

RTA in Japan has previously used Nintendo games, but on June 13, 2025, Nintendo Co., Ltd. pointed out that "the use of Nintendo games by a corporation requires prior permission," and that our previous use "was without prior permission and constituted unauthorized use." RTA in Japan wishes to continue using Nintendo games, and has begun discussions with Nintendo Co., Ltd. regarding permission.

As of now, the decision has been made that RTA in Japan will submit individual licensing applications to Nintendo Co., Ltd. for each event and game. However, for RTA in Japan Summer 2025, we were unable to clearly determine how to handle this at the time the participating games were announced, so we have decided not to use Nintendo games.

For events held at RTA in Japan after RTA in Japan Summer 2025, it is expected that permission will be submitted in advance to Nintendo Co., Ltd. and that permission will be granted before the event can be used.

As a result of this, it is expected that the RTA in Japan game application guidelines and application requirements will change, and we will notify you as soon as the details have been decided.

We would also like to apologize to those who submitted games that were affected by this issue to RTA in Japan Summer 2025.
