NES 20 Game Race #1 - Top 8 Finishers, All Lead Changes
46About this race:
The first NES 20 game race started on Saturday, February 28th 2015. There were 38 entrants in total, 26 of whom completed the marathon. The race was organized by BadBrakes and the Best of NES crew, and run through SpeedRunsLive. Official race results (potential video spoilers): http://www.speedrunslive.com/races/result/#!/128709
About this video:
This video shows the complete runs of all of the top 8 finishers for the race, and accounts for all lead changes so that you can easily see how the field stacked up during any given time, as well as when and how time was gained and lost by the various entrants. I did the best I could to account for all changes in lead and position, but the beginning of the race was very frenetic, so I may have missed a few minor things. This video was done in a few steps and took me about 3 weeks of work from start to finish, including dozens of hours to edit and hundreds of hours to encode. It should appear on youtube as a 1080p 60 fps video, the source file is 29 GB. If the feedback is positive I will attempt to make one of these for every one of the upcoming 20 game races.
