Back in the early 90s and early 2000s, Munch Touton & # 39; s Punch-Out because the NES was the first known speed game. But in the end, the players move on. However, one player returned to the seniors Punch-Out fans of 2010 and found that the whole world was recording at that time was set by one player, Matt Turk. Nobody even tied up any of his moments.

This story, of a community that came together to defeat one professional player, is the focus of the latest YouTube Video Archive documentary. Video is about an hour, but I highly recommend watching it. I'm not interested Punch-Out speed drivers, but the documentary is wonderfully organized and engaging to the reader. By the end of it, I was on the edge of my seat wondering how it would all end.

Math Turk. This one player has hit every fight in this game, all 14, faster than anyone else. These periods were set back in the early 2000s, around 2003 and 2004. There was no video evidence, as many players at the time did not have equipment for recording and loading speedruns. However, Turk wrote the entire text and was very detailed. Most people therefore believe that these times were valid. And everyone agreed that they were incredibly fast. These Punch-OuThe records are so fast that when a player named Sinster1 received these records in 2010, no one had ever tied them in five or more years since recording.

So Sinster1 decided it would be fun to try to hit or tie these seasons, even though they were skeptical if possible. Over the next five years, many players came together to take a few moments of Turk. It has taken years of effort, investigation and luck to even arrest some of Turk's times not to mention striking them.

Part of the problem is that on some records, Turk looked like he was almost completely gone. This meant that he had beaten many frames in one battle, and he had racked up thousands of battles to gain luck with him. Some battles require some action and if the AI ​​boss doesn't do this, you can't set a world record time or get close.

The rest of the video is worth watching and you'd be surprised who ended up being a fierce fight for the players.
