I freaking love the “explained runs” be they yours or others espicially when you show the odds of something happening it’s so fun. I don’t speedrun myself but you are part of why I love watching them so much keep it up

[@GnightPunpun]

I like your usage of words during this so far, you seem to always address it as "the" world record and not "my" world record and it comes off really humble yet obviously still proud of what you've accomplished. Well done on the run.

I also recommend tomato anus for a very monotone yet sarcastic funny as hell commentary. You'd have to watch one of his vids to see what I mean but he has his own runs. Funny themed ones like fallout sex% which is just fastest time to get laid. And even vids if him doing his funny style of commentary over other speedrun need runs explaining them. Him and waifu are my favorite .

[@EdStopMotion]

A video of Waifu explaining something for 2 hours I click

[@dbpeanut510]

I feel bad for the guy who thinks running DMD makes him better than normal runners: the whole point of higher difficulties is to give yourself the challenge, not anybody else. Just because someone runs normal, does not mean that they're worse, it just means that they're not running a higher difficulty. Speedrunning as is, is already difficult in some games, some people just don't want to deal with the added RNG or stress.

[@William-Sunderland]

The reason is simple, it takes more effort, specially in particularly hard games like DMC games, and you get less recognition, and its even more important knowing speedruns are made in a profesional matter, thus less recognition means less money and less professional oportunities.

[@Donovarkhallum]

I like games that scale the difficulty to you. Like God hand.

[@flaelilithane2151]

Why feel bad for him? Without him this video literally wouldn't exist. logics be such hards, much difficults. Congrats to the runner he did great.

[@dbpeanut510]

@@flaelilithane2151 Oh simple: if you feel the need to constantly berate or uplift yourself due to playing at a harder difficulty, you likely don't have a high view of yourself or others. Also, just because a negative action has a net positive reaction, doesn't mean that the negative action was justified.

[@jaxsonfanta5420]

I can't believe I'm watching this and loving it. I'm at 1 hour mark. Waifu, you're like the best introduction to world of speedrunning that I could ever imagine. Thank you for just being you, unbothered yet passionate about what you do. I really appreciate you.

[@emarceeqem4715]

It’s extremely encouraging to think that even the current WR speedruns of this game include not only damage but death.

[@HikariWolf007]

I only recently got into your content, but man. Just seeing the way you clear these things so fast keeps me coming back for more kek Edit: That gasp at the 42:17 minute mark (in the video, not the actual speedrun kek)just killed me.

[@darkstar6162]

I love the detail that the Ambrosia appears in this game so casually, but then later in the fifth game is basically the main point of the tree of vergil

[@TheKing-qz6mb]

I have litarrily been waiting for your explanation since I watched you DMD speed run. Thank you for responding to my silent prayers

[@motivat3dVergil]

Small improvements to be made in the future just from watching are agni and rudra can be hit locked by spamming spiral swords and lunar phase causing the sword clash animation. Also you can trick up on the vanguard when it's doing it's vertical attack to get some extra damage. Lusts/sloths can get launched with force edge helm splitter into stinger then ht then starfall jc span. Lethathan boss fight: heart on the right near the top has an invisible ledge you can reset the yamato rave and stay safe. With Nevan instead of doing starfall into the spin attack you can judgement cut her bat defense down more consistently. You can kill souleaters a little quicker by getting close un targeting, then around then do a small jump aerial rave. On mission 19 during the arkham fight you could try the circle running strat, dt explosion and maybe rapid slash to clear them out quicker with out getting hit. Mission 20: vantes spiril swords can be taken put with your own targeting swords early in his animation. Forget the name but it's forward summoning swords. Great run btw.

[@celestialnecro9866]

39:30 I always appreciate a good Austin Powers reference

[@SpawnShooter]

Congrats on the WR dude :) I recently started watching your videos and have been enjoying your content. I used to compete in the True Style tournaments so this is a blast from the past!

[@SuperbFairy]

I really admire the way you explain runs in such detail, both for those who play the game and so those who don't still learn about it. Most speedruns can be a chore to watch because of the focus but you make such informative and interesting content, thank you for all your hard work

[@jopetdevera]

I remember you said in your streams trying this WR that this can be optimized to about 1hr50min and you did beat that time. Really Pog! GG!

There's one part I especially agree with you. Fuck Enigmas. Not even Satan himself is into that shit.

Great video came back to this game after a 11 year break I had to visit nostalgia town 😂 I’ve beat 1-4 again but I’m way to hooked on 3 currently using this guide to speed run with Vergil dmd mode as well since I farmed orbs in bloody palace

[@sephiroth7474]

Thanks for putting this video on youtube now i can show my friends that waifu the god is truly motivated

[@AriaHope]

This is an extremely entertaining video, I honestly live for learning about both speedrun routes and the way games work in general, and your commentary on these subjects are always fun to listen to. However I will say that some of your videos, such as this one do have a small issue with audio mixing, as you occasionally talk over yourself in the stream recording and characters in game talking, overlapping conversations can be rather difficult to understand, so either greatly lowering the game audio or muting it completely when post commentary is playing it would be greatly appreciated!

[@mallaothman]

U rock maan! I stated to speedun as Vergil in DMC5, top #3 right now! :'D

[@mikemartinez9703]

I wasn’t good at performing the jump cancel attacks, so I went for uppercuts and follow up with a charged Beowulf punch (executed in DT for power) while the enemy struggle to get back up. While charging my Beowulf punch I can usually activate spiral swords for additional damage/defense, often resulting in stun locking enemies already on their faces and asses. Charge/release an entire DT gauge explosion when you throw the punch for massive damage.

Congratulations on the World Record. I hope you considering improving on this record because it clearly could be improved a lot. Now I am not gonaa say Normal speedrun is lesser than the DMD speedrun, but you have to admit that from the spectacle perspective, DMD runs are more enjoyable (at the expense of speed runner's hands of course). Because I doubt anyone would enjoy watching a Heaven or Hell run right?

Honestly I can’t even complete DMD with Vergil normally lol. Got stuck on Mission 2 for 2 hours. Tips to get better at DMC3 in general? Thank you!

[@Doglover745]

Some tips I can give are this: you should learn how to effectively use the options available and learn which options are safe to use and which ones might get you hit. You should mostly avoid using moves with slower start-up or have a lot of end-lag especially when enemies are nearby. Try to learn enemy patterns and which ones should be prioritized. You should also give enemies as little of a chance to go into DT as much as possible, and learn what the most efficient and/or optimal DT usage is depending on the situation. And of course, practice should help immensely.

[@fadeskywards1245]
