1:55 you forgot to mention it was best know as MXC for takashi’s castle

I wonder when Minecraft speedrunners will realise that you can increase tick speed to make things go faster. Or that the Ender Dragon isn't the literal end of the game.

Oh narcissa You mean the guy who got cucked so hard at nwc 2015 and then went mentally insane and deluded himself to the cult of trans?

I'll never understand the term 'meteoric rise'. Like, meteors fall.

I have nothing but disdain for you autistic speedrunners too. Quit fucking up video games.

hey so really weird you started this video describing a psychological phenomenon that has been debunked. stockholm syndrome doesn’t exist and the reason the stockholm incident “baffled” police is because the police were so incompetent throughout the entire incident that it turned the victims against them. the police attempted to discredit the hostages’ experiences by pretending as if some bizarre psychological phenomena had overtaken them. the person heading the police response was also the psychiatrist who invented the term stockholm syndrome, and as the incident was in large part his fault he had ample motive to try and discredit anyone criticizing him.

You should make a video called ''These Games Love Speedrunning'' There are a few games that could be included, like Celeste, High on Life and more...

Sonic Riders mediocre at best? Wtf man?

What is bro yapping about in the beginning

Pencil sharpening speedrun? Wow what an idiotic waste

I hate speedrunning too. Just have fun playing a game.

3:10 "games that are mediocre at best" >shows footage of sonic riders, lost all credibility right there bud

Uhh, why is Brawl Stars here?

I hear fractured but whole as fractured butthole lol

Great video. Lots of obscure speedruns I've never heard of. Mastering those games takes a special kind of person haha, I could never deal with the RNG

What kind of maniac speedruns a COMPETITIVE game???

"casual viewers may not even realize that anything out of the ordinary is occurring" Uh how about the fact that it's widescreen and 60fps?

The jigsaw puzzle transition during the Mario 64 section is incredibly fitting for this topic.

This dude has to be a speed runner. Didn’t even have time to say Super Mario and instead called it SM lol

The music was a bit too loud for this one and I personally don't like the music style in this one but that's preference. Overall cool video I love retrospectives especially the extra stories like the running one to give real-world context.

6:53 "prequel" *predecessor

hi

Guess i love those games then

Considering becoming a Cult of the Lamb speedrunner, but fishing enough to get 4 talisman pieces for the Golden Fleece is an RNG fest that can make or break a run...

There's another possible explanation for how the South Park XP glitch stopped working without a traditional update. Frequently since the very early days of gaming, glitches or cheat codes were introduced not for the benefit of the player. In fact, they often were added for the sake of making it easier for QA engineers to test as much of the game as possible, without having to grind endlessly to get through to later areas of the game. My hypothesis is this: the South Park devs added the XP glitch with a "time bomb" built in from the very beginning. The glitch was intentional, and also, they put a specific date into the code for it to stop working. Just a thought.

awesome vids, keep going

Not allowing speederunning is a feature and proof of good game design.

Legacy of the Wizard on the NES is another game that benefits from pausing. Pausing in that game resets your jump status and allows for infinite jumps, which makes speedrunning the game much faster.

2:06 so, what if he falls on the spike.

Speedrunners have insane egos

Lost my interest when I was learning a damn history lesson at the start of the video.

Otherruns A KZbinr Did his best Attempt uber

Trying to figure out what that pixel game he shows in the beginning is

Fixing bugs isn’t anti-speed running it’s just removing unplanned exploits so that speed run records will be actual speed run records, sorry but I hate that people who exploit the game to skip sections think they did a true speed run cause that just makes you a cheater, your not playing through the game as fast as possible your just skipping and cheating. If it’s something like b-hopping that’s not an intentional mechanic necessarily but was acknowledged as a good tactic, but save glitching or glitching through the map to skip sections is not speed running as much as people wanna cope

As a speedrun admin this is super helpful as a refresher.

Technically the only cut scene in the Fractured But Whole that you can’t skip is the opening, presumably because Cartman thinks his story is really cool

Explorers of Sky Recruit them all no WM seems painful. Not only are the levels randomly generated, leading to immense variation in the times, but you have to recruit a lot of Pokemon. To be fair, the golden mask makes you able to more easily recruit enemies, but Kecleon with 0.1% recruit rate after all buffs are stacked seems painful. It clocks in at roughly one and a half days to finish. I mean the any% record is 5 hours and at least 3 of those hours are cutscenes.

the hat spinners 5:35 LOL

I love these unorthodox speed runs!

Analytics

I find it strange that brawl stars has a speedrunning but fallout76 didn’t wanna let me run nuclear winter so I just did it and uploaded on KZbin.

No way you just tried saying sonic riders is mediocre at best, that game is a masterpiece

I was watching takeshi's castle when i was six

nice video

i want you to know i love this channel :>

Speed running : Loving a game so much, you get so proficient as to spend as little time playing it as possible.

That intro had me thinking Matpat’s first fnaf theory

There are some things in here that really bother me, information wise. Most modified consoles aren't replacing hardware with superior hardware. Unless the OS is homebrewed as well I doubt the console would boot properly. Normally they're addon chips that're bodged onto the board. Like J-tagging a 360. In the case of the original Xbox, it was already on a pentium III so the best way to mod an old one back in the day was to get Mech Commander I think, which had a linux backend on the software side which allowed you to soft-mod the console without actually modifying hardware. Also since it was basically just a pentium 3 pc you could replace the harddrive with a huge 500GB at the time. Original PS3 is also capable of running Linux OS (or at least it was I heard that slim models had it patched out) And unupdated MGS4 ps3 were later models that can play ps2 games without being the original 80gb model with the PS2 hardware built in. So it was enabled via software as long as you don't update it. (So ps3 could always play ps2 games Sony just doesn't want you to.) Modding consoles is mostly to get around their dumb built in software lockdowns. Most hardware mods are just adding HDMI outputs to components like GPU already built into the console (Gamecube already has a ATi GPU built in and it has a spot on original models that you can just pretty much solder an HDMI jack onto it.

I'm not sure how i got here, but as a brazilian i need to say BRAZIL MENTIONED 🗣🗣🔥🔥🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

South Park: " let's add this little feature for people replaying the game so they can enjoy new jokes" This guy: "and I took that personally"
