Castlevania II: Simon's Quest - Any% Speedrun in

[@jay_cee583]

Thank you everyone! I hope this speedrun brings positive vibes to your day. Enjoy. 🙂

[@joshuasharrock466]

This is about the third time watching today. Positive vibes all around. Sub meatspin 30

[@Spriven]

i've legit watched this like 10 times. such a good run with the right amount of luck...it finally happened xD NOW PREPARE FOR YOUR HANDS TO DIE NEXT WITH BURTLETURDS!!!

[@spriventube]

it certainly makes me feel good to see this finally happen

[@xavierfranco5800]

Wait a minute........you have world records in Castlevania, Castlevania 2, and Castlevania 3, and only have 3.21k subs? That's a crime.

[@SBDWolf]

This is one of the best speedruns I've ever seen. Congratulations, well deserved man.

[@ImytGaming]

Wolf you can't just copy what I said during the run bro! LOL Truly was one of the best runs any of us have seen

[@draynged7869]

WITH 1 HEALTH!!!

[@PaoloAlghisi]

especially because he is streaming and chatting all the time

[@Tell_It_Right]

One of the craziest parts of this speedrun is how the level of intensity just keeps increasing. At first, he's chilling, talking to chat, casually grinding. Then, he realizes he has a good shot at a great run and turns off his notifications to concentrate. Then, when he hits the blob boost on his first try, you can see the shock and intensity go to maximum level in an instant. Then, to hit the quad at the end was the icing on the cake. That was a crazy run!

[@didymussumydid9726]

20:38 the eyes after the blob skip lmao

[@billick6589]

It's hard to overstate how good this run is. It's more than a full minute ahead of second place. Not only does he nail every big trick, the run is also filled with lots of subtle but precise time saves, that on their own don't save much time, but added together save dozens of seconds. Huge congrats Jay_cee! Unless there's some crazy new discovery, this one is going to stand for a long time.

[@jaredt2590]

This is a near perfect run, the only way he could’ve done it quicker would have been to execute the death and Dracula glitches in less attempts.

[@robmurray3121]

This is probably the run of all runs. This should stand the test of time. Congratulations!

[@jpetersongaming]

Agreed, tough one to beat

[@Olinser]

Yeah there's some time saves but most of them are blob lag which is pure RNG, and you'd still have to get first-jump blob. I think this one will stand until and unless some new tech or skip is discovered.

[@machineofadream]

You have to grind at the game for thousands of runs; half hour runs where the worst RNG comes towards the end...constantly performing frame perfect tricks, movement manipulations to set yourself in the right position to do those tricks, and precise movement to try and get lag manipulations. Finally you get that great run, with the right RNG, but then comes the thing that most people would rarely be able to do: close out that run when your heart is pounding and you're nearly shaking. That quad floor drop in Dracula's Castle is four tricks in a row requiring 1-2 frame precision, and you only get one shot at it. This is why this run is so good. It's not that it's 100% perfect, it's that who in the world will ever do better?

[@jayruka1977]

Simply amazing run.. not sure how you held it together after winning the lottery. The fact that you just did better and better after that is a testament to your skill. Glad I was there to see it. GG

[@Struzzylive]

He really won lottery ?

[@C0L0SSUS]

Congrats, that was a phenomenal run! That would make the ideal ending to a Summoning Salt video...

[@pbdevastator]

I was expecting eventually a sub 30 of like 29:58 or something, but nope straight to 29:47. I know this run and practice it, just about everything went right here. Damn greatest speed run to date.

[@truefalse481]

one of the greatest runs in all of speedrunning!

[@NESAtlas]

What an amazing accomplishment! That last exhale right before Drac says it all. Congrats JC on yet another mind-blowing run 🤯

[@MasterSystemMarceau]

Holy cow!!! You completely DESTROYED CV2 speedrunning!!! Watching this is watching history being made! Huge congratulations! 👏 You're a true LEGEND! 👏 WOW!

[@DouglasZwick]

Faved just for his face at 29:54. That's gotta be the most intense reaction of pure, ecstatic, climactic relief I've ever seen in speedrunning.

[@jdurg]

GG dude. Absolutely bonkers. I think my heart was pounding harder than yours. That was awesome as all hell to witness. Good luck on the next game you decide to master.

[@zbazza6978z]

Wait what??? Not only did you beat sub 30. YOU SMASHED IT WTF. GGs !

[@froggore52]

I watched this live. Absolutely insane. Congrats man!

[@jamest1513]

Man, I was there for the start - I'm in chat and a couple of the pokemon bits. Then I decided to go for a short walk and get some air and come back to chat and Jay Cee having absolutely lost their minds. Good timing on my part, right?

[@digusbickus]

Such a beautiful victory after such a grueling grind, you did it! No more boostblocking blob, its over. Congratulation!

[@1DensuN]

Congrats mano! Always fun to watch and enjoy on your stream! GG!

[@ImytGaming]

Absolute legend! I am so happy I got to catch this live. No one deserves it more bro, GG's Jay.

[@franciscocastillo1281]

Back to the CV4 grind for 31:0x. Congratulations, and to get a WR on your birthday

[@johnnyonepair638]

So happy to have seen this live. Shit got real in the back half you just kept hitting it. Congrats, and I'm happy you can put this game to bed.

[@societyofsin]

Really amazing run! Skipped the 29:5X and went straight to 29:4X. Happy for you to smash the wr

[@shade13gaming]

It finally happened! I'm so glad for you man, i knew 100% that this year was going to be the one, huge congrats for the awesome speedrun you pulled off! The best one i've ever enjoyed! Thanks for showing us such exceptional skills and best wishes for the future! Cheers from Argentina! You rock Mr. Castlevania! :D (*wiggles away* lol)

[@coreycasto3766]

Talking about Miss Piggy pegging Kermit 90 seconds into the run guaranteed a WR

[@kenshintrek]

This is a Really EXTRAORDINARY run.😮 Insane good: Congrats on such PB. 👍

[@sebbenilsson860]

So much love dude! GG! This proves that you can achieve anything if you really puts your heart into it! You're such a inspiring human being Jaycee!❤

[@gideon3401]

I was just gonna fast forward to see if you did the quick kill on Dracula, but I ended up watching the entire run. Awesome job, man!

[@cizzymac]

This is going to go down as one of the GOATED speedruns! Congrats on this massive achievement, JC!

[@MarkyMark8484]

Everything with this run was phenomenal. Especially your face after the unexpected blob boost. No run will ever be perfect otherwise it would basically be a TAS run. You did it man!!!! Happy for you duder!!!! ~MarkyMark

[@DiverseCurse]

A bittersweet departure... Long live the first sub-30.

[@Lurkmode712]

What a sick video to wake up and see in the inbox! This is why you kept grinding after all those other “trash” WRs you have gotten over the last few months. Amazing run and congrats! Would love to see a breakdown video explaining all the strats used.

[@superfamicom2]

Oh man just the run dude..... super mega grats on the new WR. Was really fuckin amazing

[@Ukionik]

What an amazing night to have this insane record! Congrats JC! The best World Record I've ever seen!

[@pioneeriplays]

Amazing run! Congratz you've earned it!

[@4n6]

Damn what a run, Congrats on Sub 30!!!

[@ericpeavey]

I love how about 10 minutes in how he locks in serious mode once he realizes the pace he is on.

[@alexrichard2447]

Absolute madness, congrats, we knew it could be done but it takes a JC to pull it off!

[@decapent316]

Amazing, I salute your dedication and resiliency!

[@hissatsu4937]

All those wonderful floor drops and perfect blob boost. What are the odds? Huge congrats! Now Simon needs a long awaited rest.

[@markb2714]

Congrats dude! May this forever be known as the Phuck(Fuch)Butt run.

[@TheMechanicalKoopa]

THIS WAS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME MOMENT AND I WAS THERE!!!

[@Opry99er]

What an amazing run!!! Took me hours to complete this as a kid, even knowing where to go 😂 You're a monster, sir!

[@rexierabbit3280]

I'm so pissed I missed this live, as I've been watching him live all week and just missed this one stream. Damn. HOWEVER, this is forever the fuckbutt stream. Hilarious. Serious note though - so many small mistakes here and there, time can go down a lot (0.1s at a time) but you fucking KILLED IT this run for sure. Well deserved for the legend you are, sir.

[@beesod6412]

You are not human. freaking insane JC! :bows down:

[@Ilfariun]

"I want to launch my CV2 cartridge into orbit." I feel that way all the time. Grats, dude. From the entire CV2 community. Well deserved.

[@hansu3425]
