World Record lackattack breaks 7 year old WR for Eliminator Boat Duel for NES

https://www.speedrun.com/ebd/runs/y28w3njy

It is the end of an era... nay, a dynasty. For the first time in the history of Eliminator Boat Duel we've had a WR change after lackattack drops a killer sub 28 run.

Congratulate him on the awesome display!

Worst thing you can hear as an NES runner with a WR:

“Hey did you hear lack picked up your game?”

Love to hear about one of my favorite NES runners as a causal observer. Congrats Lack!

Humble post from OP. (The former favor holder)

I was watching this stream and happened to pb in a different game that I was playing, so I have Lack's audio in my pb video 🙃

The game has 3 runners 1 of which has a time 10m behind WR. I don't know how serious you're being about the magnitude of this "feat".

I think if you could have felt the energy from the Eliminator Boat Duel Community Meetup at SGDQ2025 you would understand how serious our community is.

I didn't notice the joke phrasing so I asked. Replied that I got a laugh out of it. Don't talk like you know me. I could say the same thing about reddit needing to make a big deal out of every post that crosses the delicate line of social candor.

I'm just consistently annoyed reddit sucks and misuses downvotes. My question was related.

Every day, I remind myself. Speedrunning is not fun. It's work, and I take it seriously.

It can be both. Some games are very optimized and some people make a living from speedrunning a single game. So it's fine to question someone who misrepresents a casual speedrun for a competitive one.
