So I saw MrPupG attemping world record speedruns for the NES game "Dragon Spirit: The New Legend" and the world record is listed as 14:21 by Binarynova. MrPupG seemed to have tied Binarynova's world record time but I decided to investigate further.

MrPupG's in the upper left and the flash signalling the boss's death occurs on 14:20.38, while Binarynova's is in the bottom right and gets the death flash at 14:20.67. I show it normal speed and then in slow motion. The difference is 18 frames.

This is why frames matter in speedruns.
