In this video, I have started a new series called Minecraft Odd Run Out. This is the first rendition of it, featuring my friends Illumina + Couriway + Feinberg participating in this Minecraft challenge. Can I fool them with a fake speedrun? Or will they find the cheater?

[@juhiss912]

I got it right, not grabbing the eye was what gave it away for me. Like risking the whole run for that seems a bit odd. Otherwise I would've guessed number two. Dunno if Couri or Fein even noticed that, weird because Illumina did and got it wrong.

[@bronco3]

Exact same reason for me they leave the eye leaving them with 11 then the portal is a 1 eye

[@someonenumber0113]

They had blaze powder and pearls so it was fine anyway

[@juhiss912]

@@someonenumber0113 Tbf that is a valid point.

[@breadbxsket2]

I guessed #3 because it looked like someone that knows speedrunner things, but not how to actually do the speedrunner things. Just like someone trying to imitate a speedrunner on a known seed.

[@creedhengehold2322]

You are just lying to look good

[@juliee593]

I think an interesting experiment would've been to show them the runs without telling them one was fake, and then see if they noticed on their own.

[@tweakr4377]

it would have to be more obvious than the runs here tho- as we can see from the vid it’s hard to tell if one is actually cheated even if you are explicitly looking for it

[@MineMario]

Everyone: "Who pre-crafts a shield?" Me: "...me." Everyone: "Fake."

[@Blastydon]

One thing I just found weird was in the third run they didn't go for the eye that dropped and when they got to the portal room they only needed eleven

[@whocares2277]

They had two more blaze powder and enough pearls, so eyes weren't that critical.

[@melizsaaa]

thoughts halfway through: Run 1 seemed a little off. Mainly dolphin frontloading (on a set seed you could reset for that) and the wood use. The runner somehow mined the exact amount of logs to have enough for 5 beds and to get on too of the bastion. It's odd that run 2 uses e-ray and fabric api. There was only a very very short time in which both were used by speedrunners (fanric api being forbidden around feb, e-ray being discovered around jan). I feel like it would be too obvious to be the fake, but it is definitely rare. Probably around Reign 14:07 wr. So far I think run 1 is more likely to be fake than run 2. edit: run 3 seems very legit so far. From the moment he doubted which spawner to go to, he won my heart lmao. Let's see the results. My final guess is run 1. edit 2: :NOOO:

The problem is that he needs a different runner for the fake run next time because people can easily memorize his specs/tool config

In the other hand, run number 3 was so strange at some parts, the slabs doesn't make sense, the way he ran and also the quality was better than the others. I looked at the skin and totally called a namemc one, namemc normally has anime skins more than other places. Also, the timer skin just screamed to me "youtube" run xD

I am a fan of all the runners you had in the video and I know of you by proxy, so I watched the video. Damn, dude. Very good. Please make more. I did the whole subscribe and hit the bell thing so that I wouldn't miss the next one. Thank you, sir! One note. The reveal felt off to me because it had to happen three times. I understand the logistics of why it happened like that, but it would've been very cool to hear the runners reacting to each other's thoughts and having a big joint reveal at the end. I think this is such a cool concept. And you executed it so well. I really hope you make more. Thanks for the video!

[@vegegrey1709]

Couri-“I would never make it that close in a pb” Yeah sure u would never…

[@thecountercounter9127]

I got it simply because I love off of the best being under the highest suspicion. The third was the cleanest, the smoothest out of all of them, the one that made the most sense. Of course you're not gonna want your cheated run to look sloppy. anxiety and paranoia does that to cheaters; they look back through their video, find something that looks sus and say "nope, that looks wierd, they're gonna call me out on that" and go back through it again so that way it doesn't look bad. The best ones are ALWAYS the most suspicious

The first video I watched from you and know almost nothing about speedrunning. somehow I was able to guess right, but thats only because the viewers got an important clue in the beginning that the other 3 guys didn't have. Without this clue I would have rolled a dice instead. Great job to the third guy on finding out the correct one!

[@cooperwinstonlouie]

Why do i feel like illumnia is going to be a old man who will live in a cabin and reluctantly train a young speed runner

[@jamesflanagan6977]

I knew it was the third one like 10 seconds in, just from the skin, timer, and animation, things like the speed bridging reaffirmed my suspicion. But I also knew that Nerdi was the one doing the fake run which they didn't which makes a big difference because i wasn't looking at which run seemed cheated just which one seemed like Nerdi trying to fake a run

[@ninonook677]

what you can tell that number 3 was cheated was because of the enderpearls, no sane speedrunner would have less than 12, because than it would ruin there whole run.

[@J0hnzie]

I'd bet that little pogchamp thing in the bottom right of the third run is hiding improper subtitles on an otherwise smooth splice cut or else it's just there as a distraction piece
