Why The 'Flawless' 7-Way Speedrun Tie ISN'T Perfect

A Video by Maximum - On the 9th of December, 2017, ollymuirs performed a speedrun of This is The Only Level's Pauseless and Glitchless category with a time of 2:24.675. Over the next four years, this time was tied to the exact same frame by six separate runners, leaving a 7-way tie to the frame for first place. With TITOL runs being regulated by a 10 second cycle gate in stage 25, each runner squeezed through the 2:00 gate on the first possible frame, going on to play the last five stages to apparent perfection. The only way to break this tie would be to find a new timesave in the last five stages or to save enough time in the first 25 stages to catch the 1:50 cycle. Thankfully, many new breakthroughs were made, and this video will discuss their impacts on TITOL's infamous tie and the future of the speedgame.
