You may know about things like DDD or JRB lag reduction, but there is much more than that going on in terms of reducing lag in super mario 64 speedruns. It is a topic that I think is extremely interesting and will only become more important as players push the times of the world records in 70 star and 120 star lower.
Apparently Cheese and Puncayshun may have some things to work on... haha s/o to Drogie once again for sitting down and recording his thoughts on lag reduction.
Also big shoutouts to Drogie for recording the audio sampled in the video, check him out at https://www.twitch.tv/drogiesr !
