SpeedNintendoI started running this category February 19th or 20th of 2020. At that point, I had barely been speedrunning Minecraft for 1 year.
March 1st, 2020 - I achieved a 3:29.200. The world record at the time was 3:11.100 by Crafterdark. It could have been WR, but whatever
March 14th - I achieve a 3:17.050. Still 2nd place, and by this point, Crafterdark had achieved a 2:46. So, the first sub 3 was off the table for me. But I was fine with that.
March 24th - I get 2.55.200. Of course, it's still 2nd place, but it was sub 3. I was very happy about this run, but it still wasn't WR of course.
April 13th - 2:42.550. World record. I was unbelievably happy about this, it was the first WR I had ever gotten, and I couldn't have been more excited. It wasn't a good run by any means, but a WR is a WR.
May 30th - 2:24.150. New WR Again. This run was quite a bit better than the 2:42. I was happy with the run itself, but I still wanted to improve it.
August 6th - 2:22.800. Lol
August 25th - 2:12.300. Good time
September 20th - 2:03.600. This run was incredible. My first 3 hit endfight ever, was played pretty well, and was very lucky. And this run proved hard to beat.
I continued running this category until mid-January of 2021, but I started to lose motivation. My 2:03 would have actually been a sub 2 if it weren't for some seeds, so that fact kinda eventually got to me. So I sat on this category for a while, even making an April Fools joke using it in April of 2021, where I "completed" the game in 1:57.250. Funnily enough, that joke run ended up being slower than the one this description is under.
As the MCSR grew massively over the following years, I didn't consider returning to SSP often. I moved onto other categories, despite people asking if/when I would ever get sub 2. I had tried playing the category again a couple of times over the next two years, but I didn't get much enjoyment out of it. So I wouldn't pursue a better time.
This changed near the end of 2022. I saw nsla (a fellow runner) doing SS runs in a vc, which is basically just SSP. This made me want to try SSP again, so I did. I went ahead and played it, and I had a lot of fun. I got some good paces, and finished a couple good runs. The next day, I played it again. I continued playing this category almost every day, because I was enjoying it. And, I wanted to get sub 2. More so, I wanted to finally fulfill the promise I had made to many back in the day, that I would get sub 2. Specifically for someone named MerciArsene. They were extremely determined with asking me if I would ever get sub 2, for quite a long time. They had been there watching me grind the category back in the day, so I thought it would be cool/funny to surprise them with a sub 2. And well, I did it. Directly after losing a slightly slower sub 2 to a bad charge, I got it. I'm so glad to have finally pulled this off after almost 3 years since I started running the category.
Now, about this run. It wasn't even that good. Bad overworld with a lot of mistakes, but with a lucky spawn, lucky cleric position, and first try flint. I threw it hard tho lol. The end enter wasn't anything too impressive, and the endfight was even a 4 hit. But hey, it was good enough for a sub 2. And I'm happy about that.
Now, will I try to improve this run? Maybe, we'll see. I guess time will tell.

Making the title a little clickbaity because it's funny. Fastest naneinf ever without TAS. Sub 11 is prob possible. I made a slight route change which saves like 15-20 seconds or smth. I mean, I only have a couple hours of playtime and my SoB is already 11:24. Just gotta memorize the entire route, and play as fast as I can.[Former World Record] Balatro naneinf in 11:54.100 (Set Seed, Legendaries, Skips)SpeedNintendo2025-06-20 | I am now the fastest person to ever get naneinf on both random seed and set seed (without TAS). That's pretty neat. This run beats the previous WR by Greeny by over a minute, here's that run: youtube.com/watch?v=jdhAR7VMsLk
Not sure how much more time can be saved. I don't think sub 11 would be possible on this seed, and I'm sure there's a better one out there.

Pretty mid run. Super lucky near the beginning, Baron took a while to show up though. Lost a lot of time to playing way too safe due to nerves. I lost like 45 seconds to the eye because I forgot about the negative luchador I had lol. This is the first run where I pulled an unseeded Perkeo during my grind, after pulling 8 other legendaries (every single one except for Perkeo, and half of them were Canios lol). Very improvable, but it needs a lot of luck (and just playing smarter). Maybe I'll continue playing this, but I also need to get back to my studies.
As far as I know, this is the fastest that anyone has ever gotten naneinf on a completely random seed, which is cool.(NEW HARDEST) Duelo Maestro (Solo) 100%SpeedNintendo2025-02-02 | Before anyone asks, no CBF. Though I don't really care if people use CBF or not
Attempts: 13547 (+ probably a couple thousand lost)
This has been in the making for quite a while. I've been wanting to do this pretty much ever since SrGuillester pulled it off back in 2016. I started actually trying to play the level in 2019, but didn't make much progress on the asymmetrical dual. So it stayed on the backburner in my mind for a long time. I tried taking it more seriously in the last couple of years, but didn't commit to it. Then my friend @FeenoDerg got into GD, and started playing it. So I went, okay, maybe I should try again. So I did, and I finally managed to pull it off today. Good luck to Dolphino on this, he is EXTREMELY close to beating it.
So, about the level itself. It is objectively a good level, it's fun, but it was obviously not meant to be played solo. Playing it alone makes the experience a total nightmare. Everything up to 62% is pretty easy, but also has a lot of little silly things you can mess up. Given how this level is over 3.5 minutes long, it takes FOREVER to get to the 2nd dual every attempt. And despite the fact that I could pull do 60-100 very consistently with a start pos, I still found myself really struggling to do it from 0. The hardest part is definitely the dual ball at 71%, especially the first blue orb. That part is very complex and gave me a lot of trouble. Though, for some reason I also REALLY struggled with some of the much easier parts of the dual. I'm not sure why. However, I'm glad that I beat this, as I've wanted to do it for so, so long.
Also, yes, I personally believe this is harder than Bloodbath, so I am calling it a new hardest.

This bug allowed you to predictably get whatever number you wanted, if you ran a Java random function at a specific time. This is the same way that Minecraft generates random seeds, so you can abuse this to get a specific seed. In this case, I used it to generate the same seed Zylenox got in his former world record. And, I barely beat his time, despite me playing this run absolutely terribly (I've been testing this exploit for hours, so I wasn't warmed up at all).
This likely won't be allowed for runs, but it's pretty funny that this bug returned nearly 20 years later.
Sidenote, as of now, Minecraft will not open if you attempt to run it with mods using Java 20.

I want to thank a few people here who inspired me throughout my 1.7 journey whatevermarco - Got me to run 1.7 and did a little backseating. Even if he isn't in the community anymore, he was a huge inspiration to me. bitsbyalyx - A very good friend in my early 1.7 days. Even if she is also no longer very active in the community, I would like to thank her nonetheless. Infume - Him getting sub 20 got me back into running the category after a long break due to demotivation. Everyone from the "UR SAD" friend group server - This server has been dead for months, however, everyone here kept me going in my early pre-1.9 days. Everyone from the Pre-1.9 Discord - I appreciate everyone in this server, and without the people there, I wouldn't still be running the category. Everyone from the Furry MCSR server - I'm glad to have a place to just chill with friends while doing runs, you all kept me going when I wasn't sure if I wanted to keep running 1.7. Teddiursa - Teddi getting 19:19 made me wake up and realize I couldn't sleep on 1.7 anymore, so I started to grind again. M4xx - After a dip in motivation, M4xx getting 19:26 brought it back. Spinnaker - Spin getting 18:53 made me start the true grind. I decided that I would play the game as much as I can until I got WR. And lo and behold, it only took a few days. Chaos - You develop so many crazy strats, one of which that is pretty new is OBT V2 (the tower). It was first used in Spin's 18:53, and now this run. And of course Chaos End Strats. I only had 8 arrows in this run, so chaos strats were ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. This run probably wouldn't have finished without them. My twitch viewers - Thank you everyone for watching me while I grinded 1.7, having some people to chat with was a huge motivator and made the grind much more fun. and finally, all the believers - Thank you to everyone who believed in me. Honestly, even after my 20:04, I doubted I would ever get WR. But having people who believed in me kept me going. Because honestly, I didn't even believe in myself.
This run brings my combined RSG down to 51:16. I will be going for sub 50, likely by improving my 1.15 PB (I only need sub 18:30)
