I was today years old when I found out that Brock is an actual name. Is that your real name?

I remember this idea from a while back! Good to see you around still dude

stop dying like a dumb idiot on these speedruns?

nice

Rek covered food in great detail so instead how about that mentality. You specifically asked if it's normal to get more nervous as time goes on and yes it is, but it's going to come in waves. With the more time you invest, the more the run means to you, and the more you overthink it. The good news is that the more often you get this pace, the less nervous you will be because you've been there before. I must have choked at least 5 runs in the end that would've cut minutes off my pb over the past year with the most recent being two weeks ago. This is a very common occurrence and there's no shame in a new End Enter PB. It just shows that you are better than before and you are capable of those times. Keep your head up, you've got this.

It could be cool if you did the same thing but with you training PvP also, even though you are in a spending phase

I play the flute and my teacher told me that as you improve you feel like you're getting worse because your standards for yourself raise and you become more aware of your flaws so maybe the same applies here. Also the hitting entity works but it's not worth doing in this version.

5:15 :) 10:00 You actually were way farther than needed for both treasure bastion pearl hang attempts. The pearl either hit the bridge pillar or the ground because the chunk border should be like 1 block ahead of where you landed (from what I've seen the chunk border is always in the same place for a treasure bastion). If you turn on chunk borders that should help with seeing where you actually need to throw. 19:50 I'm with you on this, you pretty much get an instant 3 min save on every run with a calculator, even if uncalibrated/unprecise/inefficiently done.

noo keep the fishh

buy some couriway coaching 🔥

Here's some tips (disclamer: i'm not a pro speedrunner i just know a few things from watching speedrunners and running a bit myself): - You could have taken fall damage digging to stronghold since you were going to hunger reset anyway. The fall is not that bad especially if you don't dig on 4 4 but on 3-4 or 5-4 for example to land on the stairs - If you don't learn ninjabrain's bot now you can learn axis. Its more precise than the 4 block estimation but it can be kinda hard to learn. You can look it up if you want and judge if its useful to learn it. - Also there is a way to piedar the forteress using just the corner of a chunk and looking in the 2 available direction. If you don't find the spawner you can go to the chunk in diagonal of the one you're in and increase by one the render distance. Doing this you can do the same thing for the other direction you haven't checked. Hope that makes sense you can look it up on yt if it didn't. - I'm doing some ranked to improve atm and i found it useful to see what the opponent did better than you with the replay system. Its always good seeds that you can finish playing even if the opponent finished or you won by forfeit. I think it can help improve in a fun way if you don't care about elo. If you want to win more matches however in would recommand learning ninjabrain's bot as everyone is using it. Hope i was useful in some way!Have fun!

In ranked you should always get backups because you want to get all your trades in rsg its like fine

Housing bastions are usually the fastest

I have a sub 17 and play villages without blacksmiths you should def still be playing villages even if there slow

You asked how runners conserve their food. Yes, the biggest thing by far is taking less damage. 90% of the damage you take should come from pearling. Most bastions should be done with little to no damage taken. However faster runs do use less food because well. they're faster, so it makes sense to get more food when you're in the 30 min range. You run more and have more chances to take damage. However you can eat food more optimally. The basic idea is eating to perfectly fill your saturation bar. This doesn't waste any saturation and heals you the most effectively. Cod gives 2.5 situation bars so you should eat when you're missing 2.5 hunger bars (bread is the same). Salmon gives 3 hunger bars so you should eat when you're 3 down. However, if you're in a fortress or need to heal fast, eat as soon as possible. Staying alive is more important than perfectly eating food. Often you'll see runners eat their highest quality food when pearling (and as quickly as possible.). This is so they regen faster and can pearl more. You can desync your movement by hitting a boat. I think this uses less food, but no one does it in actual runs. I imagine it's a pretty negligible effect and its a pain to do. It's much better, imo, to use that brain power to just make smarter decisions so you take less damage. Also, pro tip when fighting blazes. don't jump crit when a blaze is right next to you. Blazes have a significantly harder time hitting you when you're on the ground. You're def entering the addicting phase of speedrunning. Good luck managing it. I've got a healthy relationship with it now, but I remember running 8 hours a day and feeling terrible about myself. Going for walks is OP and getting in calls with friends is a must. Speed running is great but you gotta manage it carefully. It's been super fun to watch these commentaries. you've been playing soo much better and I love the voiceover. keep it up!

The best way to conserve food is to eat right when your hunger bar is missing the exact amout of hunger bars as the food you have (for example: bread gives you 2.5 hunger bars so you should eat it when 2.5 hunger bars are missing)

Hey man, i am loving these vids even tho i don't speedrun i know a lot of stuff from watching fein and rek and many other, I suggest that if you have any doubts or questions just like reach out to the speedrunners. They might know things that we don't know and we might give out false information and you mess up. No speedrunner uses the hunger glitch and i don't know if its legal or not but when you are trying to get food the best food source comes from buried treasure chest so i suggest you aim for that kinds of seeds and if you are still having doubts Watch couriway where he is speedrunning 100,000 times where he comes across many different seeds and you can prob learn a few things from him. Hope this helps and keep up the good work.

Thought this was a star wars video then saw the mellon😂

The speedrunning stuff is great, I am actually about to download all the stuff needed to speedrun lol. But I do think similar to Rek you should tell some more stories over the speedruns like the kayaking story, I think it'd interesting!

As someone already pointed, this feeling of getting worse while learning something happens a lot. You know so much more now, so in trying to apply these new concepts, you make mistakes you wouldn't otherwise because you are focused in something different. Just keep grinding!

rekrap1 arc and i love it

Love these videos! All I see is improvement from the last so keep it up!

I love speedrunning soooooo, i love to see more speedrunning from you (i think its cool)

I've started speedrunning aroud when you started (I speedrun FSG and my pb 22;23). When you make tools you make a stone pick to mine 6 cobblestone so I'm pretty sure you should mine 6 with wooden (you mine 6 with the stone one because you kill the iron golem and make a new one anyway).

When you start improving at something there is a thing that happens where you think you are getting worse. It’s not actually that you’re getting worse, you are just realizing that there are so many things that you can improve on. The more skilled an knowledgeable you get, the more you become aware of the skill cap and your relative skill level. You also could just be having a bad day or be tired. You are improving very quickly keep going! Also down bad is crazy 💀

hello brock, honestly just keep going you are doing well and it is normal. i would recommend watching buzzaboos tutorial series, as imo it is the best one for learning speedrunning. keep it up man!

Been enjoying the speedrunning stuff you've been doing dude. Been fantastic to watch.

last death is so funny wth

btw leave like 2 gold on bride bastions cuz the chance that you dont have enough gold is genuinely pretty low

bruh u learnt the tryhard 2x1 setup theres an easy one

If you jump while throwing ur pearl it goes farther

Really cool to see more people learn speedrunning. To everyone in comments thinking it might be fun, you should try it! Now is the perfect time to get into it due to how much of 1.16.1 RSG has been discovered!

this naturally got recommended to me, that’s neat. i didn’t know you were speed running, that’s really cool actually

8:13 grab 3 flint so you can do the off-hand mining trick, it lets you insta-place after mining the gravel. 8:45 If you're okay with digging underground and 8 min nether enters, then maybe consider structureless overworlds? I think structureless averages 8 min for nether entering, but often less. But if you don't trust me and want real stats, Couriway's 100k challenge spreadsheet might be helpful to look at.

I love learning about speed running alongside you! Feels like I’m getting better too.

You sound like eazyspeezy lol

Throw your hoe out after a village because its useless in speedruns after hay

but why hard mode

Bro the Brock podcast is awesome

Keep going! You seem to be learning more so that’s good!

Brock bro watch rekrap2 speedrun toturial overworld nethrr end its good

Honestly... relatable

I know the pain lmao but resilience is the name of the game

First comment bro

Bro is pbing 2 times on a day... i wish i would pb once a month... 💀

I advice u to watch rekrap2 video speedrun toturial overworld , nether , end

I legit started speedrunning the exact same time as you, I tried to beat the game for hours with constant failure but today I beat the game 3 times and eventually I got a time of 37.27. and its an amazing feeling knowing that im improving. I really enjoy your videos they remind me a lot of rekrap2's videos pls keep making them

If you are not sure about the coords or the stronghold you should make your nether portal in a high location that way it won't spawn you underground

yeah its pretty abnormal to have your first 4 runs be sub 30 but to say you havent earned them is just incorrect. getting lucky is part of the game but these are NOT perfect seeds and every time you have managed to execute well enough to finish these runs in under 30 minutes. For example, your one cycles have been immaculate, which is something I struggled a lot when I started. Do NOT get in your own head about making these simple mistakes. You are brand new and putting up great times despite your inexperience with goofy little errors just making you better. Do not get embarrassed because you did something silly or didn't understand how the game worked. Learn from those mistakes because that is how you gain experience, even if you have make the same mistake multiple times. Put in the effort to remember next time and eventually it will become second nature. Practice maps/mods are great for finding those faults and I would highly recommend using them to fix those errors in your gameplay. Your improvement is already great and it won't be long before you look back at these runs to see how much better you have got in a short amount of time.
