sm64 is an n64 game, playing it on a not-n64 is weak.

Same goes for any other n64 game, unless the not-n64 version is identical to the n64 version.

Like, I know the WR is 1:43:53. If I'm on VC and I have a 1:44 or whatever, I really don't know how I'm comparing to the most optimized run at all. Same with emu. I'm totally lost when trying to compare myself to other players. I hate that feeling. If I'm racing or I'm comparing PBs, I want the comparison to be as accurate as possible. I want to know with 100% certainty who I'm better than and who is better than me. If it's not accurate, I see no reason to even compare myself. And if there's no reason to compare myself to other players, then I see no real reason to be a part of the community at all.

Pretty much sums up my thoughts

I like nintendo 64 console because it is original. I didnt mind playing on emulator and Im sure i wouldnt mind playing on VC, but the thing about nintendo 64 is that you just feel more pro when you play on it. its really cool and i believe everyone should try out n64 before deciding if they dont like it or not.

When I started learning sm64 my gamecube controller was shit and I found an n64 controller w/ perfect stick in my closet. Playing on n64 was an easy choice for me.

it creates a level playing field since it's the standard speedrunning platform and it's also the original version of the game
