I am so insanely proud of @lekukie_ for overcoming numerous hurdles to accomplish something truly incredible! This is easily one of the most deserved speedrunning records ever. Can’t wait for the TAS tie grind!
After 7 years, I've finally done it. 4:54,365, I'm the first ever brazillian to have untied WR in any% of smb1, and it's way better than I ever expected to have it be. HOWEVER, the grind is not over. There are still 6 frames to be saved until I'm done. Stay tuned! :)
LeKukie JUST GOT A NEW SMB1 ANY% WORLD RECORD with 4:54.365. This guy has been going for untied world record since 2020, this is 6 YEARS in the making. Nobody in this game deserves this more than him. I'm so unbelievably proud of you @lekukie_ <3
I am so immensely proud of @lekukie_ for finally getting a 4:54 in SMB1 after years of effort! There isn’t anyone else who deserves it more, and I am so happy that he is finally getting his flowers. Kukie has what it takes to get the WR, and I am wishing him the best of luck!
A week ago, I missed getting a 4:56 in Super Mario Bros. by a single frame: 4:57.011... This time, I tied the fastest high 4:56 currently on the leaderboard with a 4:56.844! Couldn't be happier to have this as my final SMB1 Any% PB!
we will be reaching out individually to everyone who donated to offer refunds. Each person will also have the option to keep their money in a fund that will support efforts to help LeKukie successfully obtain a visa and hopefully travel to a similar event in the future.
Hi all. As you may recall, me and Niftski organized a speedrunning event last summer called Kukie Rush, intending to raise enough money for LeKukie to travel from Brazil to PACE 2025 to compete in the Mario 1 speedrunning events...
Immediately after receiving this news, LeKukie began the process of obtaining a U.S. travel visa. Unfortunately, for a variety of factors, LeKukie’s visa was denied, and he will not be able to attend. Since we can no longer put the Kukie Rush money towards its intended purpose...
