Great overview on the sub 7 grind. I've been trying to get WR back on and off since 2017 after only having it for 3 days. I've come this far in staying a top player for so long and I don't think I'm gonna stop grinding once I get sub 7. I gotta stay persistent and finish what I set out to do all those years ago.

This is an absolutely incredible video. I couldn't put it better myself if I tried, the level of detail and the alternative perspective to previous WR progression videos of explaining WHY it was so hard to beat and what caused me to lose motivation for the category is super refreshing. The explaining of moonball and volleybowl, and bringing up my 7:02 which was pretty unknown outside the community warms my heart in a way to know there's a video that just gets everything right. Maybe I will get sub 7 one day. Not WR, but just as a personal achievement, as there's no longer urgency to be the first sub 7, yet it will be just as sweet ❤

I felt so close to sub 7 but yet so far. The rng needed in baseball is just hell. I still feel like I can punch another good time in but I need to get myself together in bowling. A lot of factors like Errors, Fouls, No homeruns, Strikes, Wind and Hole locations can really destroy your run. But I strive again to do good things watching this. This video really motivates me to run it again so I might give it a go. Thanks LunaticJ 🔥

Awesome video man! Anime Baby is love, Anime Baby is life.

I don't really care about speedruns and haven't played Wii sports in like a decade, so I have no idea why Youtube recommended this to me. With that being said, I still watched the whole thing

I was so shocked when this video came out!!! I still love this literal dream ending to the sub 7. I know i never got it, but to be honest, 1.2 never really was the way to go. I still absolutely loved this whole video, and love your videos man! thanks so much to bringing light to the most goated run ever, 6:53!

“Thanks for watching, now here’s a dog” is the absolute best possible way to end this video

Ok but that strike at 19:33 is a thing of beauty.

Great coverage and well organized video. Love to see what is to come!

Fantastic video. I loved the deeper insight into the run's strategies as well as the inclusion of sub-7 contender's failed runs 💯 SPOILER congrats RyMac, no one will ever understand how you managed it

Congraturlations to anime baby

My favorite part about these stories is how they showcase the "on the shoulders of giants" saying. So cool to see generations of runners exhaust themselves pushing the limit while newer generations get to pick up their hard work and invest their new energy into pushing it even further. A beautiful example of what makes humanity so powerful

Honestly the pause you made after the 9 count and the end of the video brought me more tension than it should. XD really well crafted video. Made me feel things about a speedrun I didn't know anything about in less than 20 minutes.

love to see more coverage of this game. Great work on the video!

dont watch any speed running, nor have i played wii sports in like 10 years... but i just enjoyed a 20 minute video on both lol. Crazy to think how good speed runners are at breaking and solving games. Good stuff man

Man, I keep forgetting I subscribed to this channel, or that this channel even exists. But I'm always pleasantly surprised to see your videos in my feed!

Great video! Nice to see Wii Sports speedrunning still getting love

great video, was a really fun deep dive into how insane Wii sports speed runs are

I didn't even know this was a thing, but I must say this was a fantastic documentary of the WR and it did not spoil the ending...great job, sub earned
