Can I Beat A Stardew Pro If I Use Endgame Tools?

Today, I took on the best Stardew Valley Speedrunner in the world, Haboo, who has countless Community Center Speedrun World Records, and tried to see if I could beat him using Iridium Tools. He's one of the greatest Stardew Valley players of all time, so it'll be tough, but can I do it?

[@dovelyy]

honestly the most impressive thing about haboo is how he doesn't have show tool hit location on

[@Fishing_Master86]

Omg I didn't even notice

[@natie331]

I was thinking the same thing lol

[@longfish5174]

He’s played a thousand plus hours so I think he has a pretty good idea where he will hit.

[@elenna1237]

he's tried using it occasionally but apparently it's too distracting for him 😂

[@HaChiing]

I think you can do things faster with the tool hit location off. Slightly

[@NinoKito]

Jeez Haboo is next level, Seanie put up a good fight but Haboos speed is crazzyyy!

[@thatonefrog3198]

cool to see you here

[@luetar2948]

Hi I like watching your stuff

[@floofle6580]

Hi Nino I was just watching your videos earlier

[@0_Freepalestine_0]

Oh hi! I just subbed to you before I watched this lol

[@A.random_duck]

Hi Nino! Long time fan! 😊

[@briansmoot8234]

Seeing Haboo genuinely enjoying Seanie's company makes the video so much better. It's so cute.

[@karenluo795]

I agree, the collabs are always fun to watch

[@ElenMira]

I love Sean's outfit. He looks so stylish and simultaneously somehow also like a generated townie in the Sims. But in a good way 😜

[@angiadcock8196]

I love that the best player in the world is continually willing to entertain seanie’s ridiculous ideas. He just plays along with everything and that makes it so fun.

[@Rikrobat]

Always love collabs with Haboo! His skills really are on another level. Love the energy the two of you bring to challenges; amazing video!

[@sydneyyo99]

And it makes me laugh when he randomly changes the stakes to make a better video

[@kennalikespizza4515]

I think this is the first only Seanie & Haboo collab but I love their energy together the vibes are so silly

[@bat8046]

if haboo didn't seem like such a nice guy he'd be so hateable bc that level of skill is just ridiculous

[@AntheanCeilliers]

It's so true. It's hard to love the best in the world, but damn, Haboo makes it impossible to dislike him.

[@therach1]

Haboo is like a duck in water. It's so awesome to watch. I adore both of you and your content!!

[@snakes_shadow3539]

Hey, got a video idea for you: Can you raise your fishing level to 10 without actually fishing?

[@mistyrain5793]

Love this idea!

[@_RG99_]

Easily by using fish ponds, you can get certain fish and materials for fish pond via traveling merchant. Rest is sleeping and collecting rewards from ponds for a long time

[@snakes_shadow3539]

@@_RG99_ I had been thinking trash cans and foraging, myself. And then it gets easier when you get access to crab pots, of course.

[@wafflebroz]

@@_RG99_ Blade did that

[@_RG99_]

@@wafflebroz yeah, he had 1 day limit, so he had to use fishing rod, but without time limit it's more like patience test than skill

[@anderstaylor6694]

This was really fun! More Haboo collabs please! Maybe some kind of mines race with a similar tool advantage or something?

[@sllimjimsinkhole]

I've missed these sort of challenges, and I love seeing you both collabing together again!

[@jessicabooth1122]

nice vid but mandatory comment: handicap means to make something harder! so here haboo actually has the handicap because he has to use worse tools :)

[@atoshihir]

Yeah I was kinda confused lol

[@Adharaaa]

I think that was the joke they were making? I think

[@zagzig3734]

To be handicapped in a challenge means to face more challenge To have a handicap means to have a headstart or additional bonus.

[@violetharris312]

Just another of the many videos of yours that greatly entertain me. 😊 Definitely someone I can Binge watch

[@-justkevin-6547]

10:17 bro really said "haunted chocolatier? no thanks, not into horror games." 💀💀

[@ruethday]

all i do these days is watch ur vids seanie, i think ive watched most of ur recent stuff 5 times over at least! love ur content so much man keep at it :)

[@abbitbunny]

OMG the twist at the end! Haboo really is a wizard 😂

[@azi_smiles9556]

Always love the vids, so excited to watch this :D

[@mimeiia]

its always a good day when seanie posts

[@Nightweaver1]

That's really fun. It's hard to beat Haboo, he's the GOAT.

[@Draconfury1]

As a casual minecraft, terraria, and stardew player, it screws with your head so much between games and keybinds

[@TreeofLife157]

Cant wait for the stardew valley seniors collab video to come out!

[@meeganbeck661]

That was amazing! Also you know you’re a positive happy person when Haboo is nice to you 😂 love Haboo but he can be saaaaasssyyt 😂

[@csrichardson24]

Fantastic video! Love when Stardew content creators collaborate.

Awsome vid mate!

I get always so hyped and excited whenever I see you post I just stopped everything to watch this lmao Literally thank you for making vids You helped me through some tough times so I just wanna say thank you ❤️❤️

This video is such a KZbin experience

[@FrickingTaylor]

i love it when you guys collab :D

[@Cymricus]

80M gold in year one lol jesus haboo

[@TheKelliestKelly]

Video hasn't started yet but my guess is no. No offense to Seanie but I've seen Haboo play

[@JasminMiettunen]

If he started with iridium I think he could’ve clutched it on the tree chopping and won

[@snausageparty6404]

haboo won the watering race in my heart

[@klepto_mania_]

Early! Live the video Seanie, KEEP IT UP!

[@skeggyproductions4760]

Love your videos ❤❤❤❤❤

[@lemolea9571]

Physics is basically applied maths... you have to be good at maths to be a physicist or engineer (less so for engineering tho) The other sciences not so much. People think you need to be good at maths to do comp sci but idk where that came from, I'm a good programmer but terrible at maths.

[@samirsheikh584]

U challenged haboo that's insane

[@JPCarvalho404]

This video was extremely fun to watch, thank you guys! hahaha

Couple of athletes here. Showing off them guns chopping down the trees.

[@tijonball4128]

The Haboo is the best PLAYER ever not just Stardew valley player

[@youremomlol2263]

anyone knows where his shirt is from?

[@tinkly_winkly]

No but like fr, where can I download the original save file I wanna use it to practice animation cancelling lol

[@lorddracon8992]

do this but instead of end game tools you get the fast animations mod and set your tool use animation speed super high

[@chiekezeeestella5906]

How do you get items? What cheat are you using? I'm curious

[@winkoc1ty]

LETS GOOOO

[@Basti1910]

The ineffecient tactics hurt a little to watch, not gonna lie

[@LukeCamelo]

dude tell me about it, it's like he's not even thinking and just autopiloting through every single task. he could have easily won with the handicaps in place if he just used his brain for a second and stopped wasting sooo much time with inefficient pathing and stuff. i don't know why i'm getting so upset about a farming game video from 10 months ago so i'm going to take a nap

[@michellesharpe6159]

Could have been a little more level if they also had to deal with energy expenditure. Just like the watering refills really handicapped Haboo.

[@triplepain522]

commenting before watching to predict haboos flawless victory

[@SlaznorkGaming]

but seanie, you are a pro!

[@hicat808]

I want to see a challenge between stardrop luck and worst luck lololol

[@Happyworldshark]

Bro habboo is crazy good at sdv- I thought I was a pro before watching this ;-; Might not helping on mobile

[@TheGarchompxd]

isnt animation canceling easy since you can just macro it to a mouse button or something?

[@Spygirl812]

This is my first video from him since subscribing and he lost a calab hahahaha

How!

[@RedBone0212]

how is haboo iridium level whilst using normal tools TT

[@thatgamergirl6549]

I've never been this early omg

[@TurkeyTray]

You can reach haboos animation cancelling with a script. I found one on a steam guide that lets me hold x to do the entire animation cancelling. It’s not as fast as haboos but I think if the timing changes it can be. I don’t know if this is allowed in speedruns though.

[@LinkThinks]

Automatic animation cancelling scripts are not allowed in speedruns, no. You can rebind the relevant keys, but the cancel itself must be timed manually.

[@TurkeyTray]

@@LinkThinks sad

[@lemolea9571]

​@@LinkThinks Wait, keybinding is allowed, right? Like they're not actually clicking r, delete and right shift, and keybinding uses scripting. So it's not allowed to specifically automate animation cancelling

[@LinkThinks]

@@lemolea9571 @lemolea9571 Yeah, you are allowed to rebind those keys, but what's important is the input to do the cancel itself has to be manually timed. I definitely did not word it well, but my reply was more directed at the original commenter who found a script to automate the whole process. That's entirely my bad, and I don't intend to be spreading misinformation so I'll edit that initial comment to properly reflect that. As per current rules "No macros, scripts, or other tool-assisted methods that automatically time animation canceling (AC), i.e. the timing must be done manually. AC is not allowed in Vanilla." Thanks for commenting though, that was a blunder on my part. Personally I'd like it if more people gave animation cancelling a shot, so I definitely do not want to scare them away. Obviously it's not for everyone, but I think the unexpectedly high dexterity component it adds to Stardew is a lot of fun, and the technique is pretty easy to actually do at a baseline while having an incredibly high skill ceiling.

[@lemolea9571]

@@LinkThinks Ah, I was just wondering because I've also been using an automated script to animation cancel but didn't realise it was considered cheating in speedruns (cuz I kinda wanna do some, not to submit but just to see how I shape up). I'd be willing to try doing with just a macro but if you actually had to do it with no assistance I'd just stick to what I've got now haha, I don't think I could do it.

[@yalkn2073]

Animation cancelling is not an exploit, its an intentionally made debug tool

[@gab4566]

nice

He's the best but I got the Living Hat before him 😉

[@homegrowngamer3411]

I know the joke is that pros use "noob" tools in the thumbnail. But nah, having been a part of the fanbase for a long time. Any "pro" in stardew ends the first month with like. All of their tools upgraded fully. Like... the upgrades will take 30 days, and they finished the upgrades in 2. Nobody knows how this anomaly happens. Not even speedrunners. But it does. Lol Ain't nothing like saving some energy via axe proficiency!

[@lety18chula]

Am I too stoned to do a proper comment? Sure, but if the video wasn't so good I would've paid more attention to the joint and not finished it... Yeah, let's go with that

[@JaleLkharrat]

Ok for the love of god, why do you not use macros for the animation canceling ? It's extremely easy and effective

[@woooooooooooooooooooooooo]

Is Macros a script?

[@irmiwolf]

Not to take away from Haboo's talent and achievements but I still think that doing a Glitchless Run but allowing exploits is weird. Sure a glitch and an exploit are not the same but both should be considered the same in speedrunning, like either you do everything legit (as the developer intended) or you don't.

[@woooooooooooooooooooooooo]

Animation cancelling is a shortcut that ConcernedApe coded on purpose, so it's not really a exploit either. Seanie muddled up his words

[@irmiwolf]

@@woooooooooooooooooooooooo Its something not meant to be used by the players, which means they are exploiting a feature to gain an unintended advantage. Ergo its an exploit.

[@woooooooooooooooooooooooo]

@@irmiwolf I can't post the link to the Reddit threat because KZbin just deleted my comment, but a few years ago the speedrunning community did a vote and concluded it's not considered cheating for official runs.

[@lemolea9571]

Yeah, it's technically an exploit I guess, but people used it so much in speedrunning that they just allowed it, there are non-animation cancelling speedrun categories too
