      If you take the meme at face value, sure. I’m sure they have to validate some runs, I’m also pretty sure they don’t extend that policy to 2500 spots down the list.

      but weirder things have happened.

        Most runs in general do not get scrutinized unless something about the submission is suspicious in itself. The community is very tight knit and there is nothing to gain from being on the leaderboard but clout.

      If I recall correctly there are games like final fantasy where the world record is still 2 hours long

            Lul

            Yeah…

            I don’t even remember anything about that game but the twist.

            I’m not sure why a 100% would take that long though.

            Edit: Oh, right, the cards would evolve after a certain time, and one of them takes two weeks.

            So the speed run is really just “how long does it take to get this one card.”

          Man I honestly don’t get why anyone would try speedruning a game that takes 24+ hours to complete even if you skip half of the game

          Hugo One has a novelty run of San Andreas (novelty meaning it’s modded, e.g. Chaos Mod, Randomizer, and non-competitive because it’s not an actual category) that’s almost 70 hours long
