start of the run: "baba is you, flag is win, very simple" later into the run: "nothing can be everything"

that's baba is you in a nutshell

LEVEL IS BABA

[@megamangos7408]

I was a little worried that this might spoil some of the puzzle solutions for me. Nope. Still have no idea what just happened.

[@SeppelSquirrel]

Got stuck on the 2nd to last Meta level ("The Box") & never came back to it. Spoiled myself and now I don't feel bad because I never even thought to make [REDACTED].

@@SeppelSquirrel That level's title gives you the solution...

[@eituottavuutta9034]

@@philiphunt-bull5817 Hmm? The box? No it doesn't. It just made me confused because I thought I needed to somehow get outside the walls when what you had to do is something completely different and unrelated to the term Box

[@Slain087]

@@eituottavuutta9034 You've never heard the phrase "think outside the box"? Basically the phrase means "look for something outside of what you're doing," though yeah, "go to the nearby level and do stuff there" is a bit obtuse.

"By the way the drumstick bounced off the floor and cracked my monitor" Great start.

Drumstick is bounce Drumstick on monitor is crack

The objects Stick and Monitor were actually added to the game as a tribute to this run

"If you are win, you win. Funny that." I love this guy.

"My greatest accomplishment today was not being a fence."

[@PantaroParatroopa]

It was a fun run to see the chat. A lot of it was basically "Brain is Melt"

[@keiyakins]

Indeed. Also, baba is hot.

[@iantaakalla8180]

And Game is Hot

[@abj6920]

I was expecting this to be a "silent guy quickly does the game and you just have to marvel at how fast all this happens" was NOT ready for him to explain the damn puzzles to me! So nice! So entertaining! I had no idea what the true ending was and it so emotionally devastating I couldn't handle it

[@necrobonesgaming2424]

"my greatest accomplishment today was not being a fence" "words hurt us. I relate to that, I'm very sensitive" "my hands are a wreck now, I'm billing you" dude I'm fucking dying LOL

[@hoodiesticks]

This run is legendary. I still have no idea how punchy was able to not only maintain commentary while playing this game at such a breakneck place, but also give commentary with some of the most memorable one-liners of the marathon.

[@CaroFDoom]

the runner's sense of humor works perfectly with this game

[@Kaktanternak]

Hold on... You're telling me that to finish the game you have to turn level icons into puzzle pieces to access a secret secret secret level? goty

[@thatoneguy9582]

*exactly*

[@mikeysheep5380]

look near the sides of a hub world. See some text?

[@gamingcatago3269]

Fun fact, you can watch this run at 50% speed and it almost sounds normal

[@TheHaesoo1108]

"My greatest accomplishment today was not being a fence" I might have to start quoting that in a regular basis irl, amazing run!

[@lailedcat]

I’ve played this game up until around the [Empty] mechanic is introduced and had no idea how absolutely bonkers it gets from there. Watching this live, my eyes were glued to the screen and i was yelling WHAT???? every few seconds.

[@SeppelSquirrel]

Truth be told, I solved so many levels and still don't understand what I did. I could never recreate the solutions. 🤣

[@kenziebalhatchet3918]

baba is you Brain is melt Melt is forget Forget is defeat

[@dashalpha]

I hate the "empty" mechanic, wrecked my brain, I've yet to complete some of those

[@Tinivee]

"I might have to do that over again. I do. Balls." just in monotone. Love it. I had to slow this down to .75 speed to actually see what was happening lmao. Brain is melt indeed. Love you Punchy!

[@RobinSongRobin]

2 minutes in and this is the highlight run of the event tbh. Such amazing energy coming out of Punchy!

[@nathanwilkins6107]

Punchy is always God-tier

[@telekiller7]

Me: "I've beaten the first few worlds of this, I bet I can follow what happens" ....... BRAIN IS MELT AND EMPTY AND DONE

[@AspergerPlays]

This run would have been great in front of an audience.

[@casualbird7671]

Agreed!

[@MultiDante333]

The entire run is one big Chaotic Neutral energy and I love it

[@JaneXemylixa]

Watching this was a terrible way to get myself acquainted with this game. It truly takes nothing for granted.

[@Kelthret]

I've played Baba Is You. This run still managed to melt my brain cells

[@NeverduskX]

Man I love Punchy. It's nice to see he's just as energetic when he isn't speedrunning horror games.

[@jackdog06]

“Now the level is a flag but now I have to actually win it. I’ve done it.”

[@AndrewMooreMar]

I wasn't sure how interesting a Baba run would be. Then I saw it was run by Punchy. Instant click.

[@DCzero50]

Punchy might be the king of gdq at this point. He runs one if not two new games every event and couches for everyone and is always entertaining. Truly one of the best

[@Babytappy]

Brain is confusion. This run was amazing

[@SuperDZ555]

Do you mean: RUN IS AMAZING

[@laytonspuzzle]

"but what if nothing could be anything" i feel real bad for anyone who's watching this and hasn't tried this game before now

[@MrBuster]

There was a baba here. It's you now.

[@ChaosSinfulRose]

This run was amazing, but in my opinion, witnessing the chat lose their minds over this made it SO much better.

[@snowfloofcathug]

ChaosSinfulRose I wish I could’ve seen it :(

"We can become nothing which is useful" 14:22 Im way ahead of you bucko

not joking, i look through gdq uploads since i dont really watch streams and search for punchy playing, him and bloodborne guy are stars of gdq

It's not often you see a speed run that makes you want to sit down and catch your breath. And then remember you were already seated the whole time.

[@lad4497]

@@Melecie don't believe so.

[@ReeseHosgood]

It makes make sense why 22:20 is the most replayed section of the video. He turns level into fall which makes the level fall off screen super fast. Plus the entire thing happened in three seconds.

[@SofaKing_Kong]

Shoutout to Will that Intro was freakn hilarious! edit: my gosh the whole run is absolutely incredible!! like wth😂♥️♥️

Explaining how to play Baba Is You: Punchy: This is my game, I get to make and break the rules here

A marvelous run, and a big donation at the end from the very developer himself. It's a shame that I've been missed this one so long!

[@hanbyeollee2528]

I never seen like this before both chaotic and awsome.

[@dk_boyblue]

As someone who just watched Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World for the first time *yesterday*, my boredom leading me to pick up Baba is You again after a few months today, getting stuck on a level, watching tutorials and stumbling upon this speedrun to see 3:10 is nothing short of a miracle to me.

Thanks punchy for making my night.

I was hooked as soon as he made the Scott Pilgrim reference.

I once wanted to 100% Baba is you, but now I don't even think it's possible to.

he was too concentrated to even mention his monitor until he cleared the first world

Punchy made me check if i had 2x speed activated on the video

[@Obiwan1994Kenobi-iv4jf]

That countdown is why Punchy is one of my favorites.

[@dashalpha]

lol, this is great. Don't have to worry about spoilers if you haven't played because it is so darn fast. Well, maybe stop around the 15 min mark if you haven't played and don't want your head to explode if it hadn't already. I still need to 100% this. Some day...
