The Speedrunning CONTROVERSY in Sea of Thieves

Ever since Maiden Voyage came to the game, pirates across the Sea of Thieves have sought out to earn the title of who could complete it the fastest. That is the story we're telling here today, and how the current world record holder got there, and the cheating and conspiracies that came with it.

Dude this is an amazing video I hope you do more like this style. Great story telling pixel!

[@magicpyroninja]

Confusing but entertaining

[@stalnos3581]

i did it in 33 seconds tho... see by bypassing the maiden voyage entirely you can save a lot of time. the 33 seconds was how long it took to gaslight the leaderboard mods to believe i actually did it.

[@Spekor]

i have the record.. it's 5 seconds... i loaded it. backed out to main screen and just started the game normally :3

[@guyrza5537]

Ohoho, nice try...for a newbie. You see, my record is 0:00 seconds. My skill in the game is so great, that it literally boosts my character's parameters. This means that the speed of my pirate was so fast, that it led to the time itself stopping. This way, every time I log into a game, I do the maiden voyage so fast, that my pirate wakes up in a tavern after it's complete even before the entry black screen of the voyage has started

[@ninjawithramen]

fricken genius

Lmao!

[@nincosmic4446]

The editing of this video really brought it together. Love all the little interesting facts and laughed so much

[@ChimneySwift11]

My favorite part of the video was how he said “LORD” at 2:53. I was really moved by that part.

[@smokinwoodz]

yeah youre right, that was a crisp "LORD"

you do realise you are the reason there is a spike of views there? X'D

[@Koubles]

This video is both hilarious and informative. Glad to see you posting again. Honestly I find it comedic someone would forge a speedrun like this. It's funnier than it is frustrating honestly.

I dunno GeeNee, that run seemed tool assisted to me. I might not speedrun the Maiden Voyage but I have 3 years of experience as a Red Sea runner main and i can usually spot these things in other runners.

always look forward to your vids pixel

[@drittgaming2350]

.... Us on the old gen Xbox with bad Internet have loading screen speed run competitions every time we load up the game........

[@96Logan]

My method was to 100% the maiden voyage by watching a KZbin tutorial first, so I got all the commendations. Next, I smoked some weed and came back to the game and accidentally selected the maiden voyage instead of adventure because I was zooted. I immediately shut down my pc that instant out of frustration (also because I was getting the munchies). That's how it worked for me.

[@papadelta]

[@emptywinds3965]

Actually you don't even need to be in the maiden voyage to activate the backwards accelerated bunny hop, the devs also put the same commands into the main game, by simply accessing another door switch and door (on any island with one) you can access the dev commands from there, the code is a bit different here though because 5 w a a 1 2 1 2 and left mouse button only spawns in every possible fof (which is really boring) so the actual code to get the cut scene for the end of the maiden voyage is 5 d d a 2 2 1 4 left mouse button, thus you complete the maiden voyage in under 10 seconds

[@Leotrippin]

alternate title: Maiden voyage, but epic

[@darthbader6506]

Great work, I'm glad you put that silly cheater in his place with your superior skills

The great thing about this channel is, you go into the vid expecting a shit post but can never tell.

I don’t understand why blastingz’s did this in the first place. He already held the world record, so why did he try to cheat so he could get even lower time?

[@Real_Kaedinh]

34 seconds is some rookie shit, I got it in 0.001 seconds and how you do that is by clicking specifically the 34th pixel at the top left of your screen it teleports you directly into the ending of the maiden voyage.

[@subset_6964]

..But first, we have to talk about parallel universes

What makes no sense is why blasting Z's would fake a new run when his legitimate run was already unbeaten?
