MAN is this amazing. This is why I love speedrunning: pushing a game to its limits by finding new strats is just mindblowing to execute or even just watch

*aaaaahooooooooooooooooww* Big Smoke!

[@flowinginthewin3191]

Joshimuz at ESA Summer19 : ''the route [LS ROUTE] would be very different. We would dupe a whole bunch''. Well, it happened. Also, it's the same event where he said that Powdinet will end the game early...in the remastered version no less... It's funny how when you think a game is completely broken, its pieces can also be broke again...GG. Can't wait for the futures update like possibly Toreno Skip or Riot X3.

This video was really nice to watch. Great work!

[@Hennejoe]

Sick video, loved it! I've watched a lot of SA but never really paid attention to the duping part if I'm honest!

[@NateHotshot]

very INSPIRING and ENTERTAINING content!

[@xMetalhead2000]

I remember when the 10 min run dropped shit was insane 2017-2020 was the golden age of gta speed runs after a decade Sam Andreas gets broke I’m two, dark viper and friendly baron blow up then start a war with each other records were broke all the time and it mattered COVID seems to have taken the hype away somehow

[@t1luso609]

Thriving deserves this. I believed in this guy. ^^

[@user-cj4fu8qq9b]

9:48 how do you instapass a mission

[@englishben]

This particular one is starting home invasion while pimping is running. The simple premise is starting mission A while mission B is running, passes mission A instantly.

[@ArchmagusDCLXVI]

San Andreas, truly a thriving scene

[@hippiemcfake6364]

Thanks for the video. Pretty insane trick. One thing that isn't clear to me is whether runners can just fail the mission and try should they not get the trick. And how lucky did the current WR get, i.e. how many 1/3s did they win?

[@maiden5427]

He probably practiced 1/3 for a year at this point

Sorry I left my lights onmission = 1 instead of onmission = 0 thanks English_Ben now I know!

[@DatBoi_TheGudBIAS]

And one even more broken in remastered, Dat if u find a police bike, sum grenades, and softlok game in video-game glitch, u can get LITERALLY 100% IN UNDER 5MINS

[@matthewlacey4198]

Do you have any links to videos of this? Sounds really interesting

[@DatBoi_TheGudBIAS]

@@matthewlacey4198 idk the link nor have it, cuz my historic is loong, search for gta sa 100% speedrun 3mins, might appear. It only works in remastered version if u try, so only in the pc remastered or in console like ps4, 5

[@Voskos]

it works on the original and the remaster is pretty much the same code so why wouldnt it

[@petewalker5594]

I did watch thriving's run via youtube. There was a few mistakes made too (a crash during wu zi mu) if it wasn't for those mistakes maybe a sub 3:35 or something..........?

[@englishben]

An optimised run is definitely in the 3:30s somewhere, yeah. Just depends on how long people want to grind and hope the stars align!

Speedrunning: aka breaking a game so you complete it as fast as possible Back in my day it meant playing the game legit

this is why there's glitchless categories.

[@eetuthereindeer6671]

So you can end vigilante while you are on foot but what does that have to do with a phone call? What does the phone ringing have to do with being able to end vigilante on foot? I dont understand

i had a deajvu when he said low reset, though i never heard that line but i feel like i did

that "shut up man" was very English indeed

[@derpeth2101]

So this new duping method can be used for any mission?

[@englishben]

The duping is the same, this is just a method of getting an om0 call without the need for trucking/bloodbowl/8track etc

Yeah, he requested them to be removed a while ago. They were only there due to them being WR, before finally being removed entirely.

[@ivelingeorgiev2847]

Yeah Ben, but does this really "count" since there are a lot of new and major time saves. Technically it's not enough for a new category, but the 3:52 could not be beaten by anyone with the older strats that were used in that one. The newer ones even had some small optimizations as far as I've heard. I mean thriving is very talented for sure but I just don't know if those runs are comparable just because of the new strats that shave off a ton of time. But anyway nice video regardless.

[@Jahaay]

what? of course it counts, he has a better time than lelreset did and that's now the new world record. ben at no point claimed that thriving was better than lelreset, just that he pulled off a very good and also lucky run. It's "technically not enough for a new category"? It is not at all, because there is no new mechanic at all, it's still same old duping being used, just in another way. we can't create a new category every time a new strat gets found.

[@englishben]

I definitely believe that thriving was capable of getting the record regardless of new strats, but unfortunately the evolution of speedruns wait for no man. At the end of the day this is the fastest anyone has beaten San Andreas on the original version, so yes it does indeed "count". I'm sure thriving and others will be looking to improve this run ASAP though, it will just be a lot more difficult now.

[@ivelingeorgiev2847]

@@englishben Yeah that's cool don't get me wrong I am not trying to be a dick by saying this, of course thriving is completely deserving of the record he is a very good player.

Well, there are categories for that. I think this stuff is fascinating. These speedrunners probably know more about the game than the developers at this point and that's insanely impressive

why? it's hard and the person actually had to pull it off the fact he even tried to implement these strats is brave if anything
