Red Ball 4 Vol.1 - World Record Progression (Speedrunning History)

This is the world record history of Red Ball 4 Vol.1, a well known flash game, but a sparsely known speedgame. This world record history of this game brewed rivalries, friendships, and some amazing moments. This is a story that I and many others were involved with. Here's our story.

Corrections:

• While researching, I completely missed a World Record that was by thelegendarymudkip of 5:52 on the 12th of January, 2015. This goes between Jezs' WR of 7:29 set on 11/30/14 and Jumpyluff's WR of 5:11 set on 2/28/15.
• The second jump of a double jump is not frame perfect. The first jump must be executed for exactly one frame, and the second jump can be executed between 3-8 frames later, confirmed with TAS tools. This is much more difficult than it should be since Flash Player drops any inputs which are executed between two frames. Inputs can be as short as 7ms on some keyboards, making it very easy for inputs to be contained entirely in the a 33ms window between frames, causing them to be dropped.

Huge thank you goes out to Motorjam, Evgeniy Fedoseev (creator of the red ball series), the red ball speedrunning community, and the whole flash speedrunning community a ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3j0bdsnQEE
