His ablilty to execute speedrun mechanics (near) flawlessly, while still staying coherent in his explenations and remain an entertaining host will never not be impressive. GG Cata.

[@Outside998]

In a second language, no less.

[@NoName_4200]

That's years of experience boys 👍

[@ZacOfallTraits]

Especially when he hasn't prepared for the run since the year before!

[@beng6149]

pre rec

[@Phenriir]

I realised now that it probably keeps his sanity and brain engine oiled. Like, speed runs are generally monotonous for the player so I can imagine it being enjoyable to just talk and have people listen. Talking is nice

[@indrast5203]

I really like this guy and his passion with Dark Souls

[@bobsmith93]

His play-by-play commentary during the o&s fight was crazy good

[@23Butandione]

It wasn't anything crazy, you guys gift out compliments WAY too willy nilly

12:50 The guy in the back did what I was waiting for.

[@Wil2we]

Amazing performance by Cata to pull this run off on so short notice and with so little practice. Speaks volumes to how much he's practiced this run (and so many other FromSoft speedruns as well) over the years.

catalystz is always a joy to watch

1kilogram = 0.06 buses finally, a measurement I can wrap my head around

[@scurvyboi9832]

sanest conversion rate

[@TheUglyAnswers]

Catalystz has an amazing KZbin channel highlighting different aspects of Dark Souls speedrunning in a really consumable way, everyone go sub!

[@charlottecorday8494]

I'd love to but I'm too busy having my pictures taken for my Only Fans account

[@leek5682]

One of the true DS goats at work

[@ostepan1647]

Děkujeme ti za to! ❤️

[@awesomeFrost]

its amazing how someone can not only perform at a high level and speed, but also COMMENTATE and explain to a casual audience what he's doing. Mad respect to Cata.

[@Rassalcon]

12:50 praise the sun!!!

[@Deadgye]

My man is laughing about buses as a unit of measurement. But if I have a bus filled with 4k 931GB HDDs traveling from NYC to Albany at an average speed of 60mph, what is the rate of data transfer in megabytes per second?!

[@k.w.2275]

A European HDD or an African HDD?

[@aFoolsMartyr]

​@@k.w.2275european, but eastern european.

Always entertaining to watch cata at any event. wp

The cursor messed me up several times :P Nice run and commentating!

Great run by Cata! Always good to see a amazing run for a good cause

[@Akendolfr]

Catalystz returns!

[@tle90]

I’d love to see fromsoft devs react to cata’s run. I’m sure they’d be amazed and delighted by how thoroughly someone can know the game

[@Wallace_William]

What a smooth and clean run, loved every second of it, well done!🙌🏻🎉

[@Arbalesto7]

Cata is awesome!!!! Amazing run dood!!!

[@HideoGojira]

I always love watching catalystz. Amazing run!

[@loonytoon688]

Cata the Maschine . I Love this Dude ❤❤❤ Tanks ESA ❤

[@sunbert2041]

Cata so good at explaining even though i know most tech, i still appreciate!

[@quite1enough]

Yo my man Cata is killing it! 🎉

[@milramas]

catalystz the absolute goat

[@zakorlando2462]

Thanks for the clarification of the 0.06 busses of steel

[@gamerguildhd3529]

one of the best speedrunners of all time, truly a legend cata!

[@c.jarmstrong3111]

Any Cat live run, I'm watching it

[@I_V_X]

Class act

[@andyoooooobun]

One of the best live explanation and demonstration simultaneously for game glitching in speed running history

[@christianstachl]

As far as i can tell it's the standard any% run, but still enjoyable to watch because it's executed perfectly and the commentary is just great. One question though, why the "Prepare to die" edition? Are some glitches only available here? I thought i saw all of them also in the "Remastered" edition. Ok, the one at the start with the undead merchant was new to me... Edit: Also the skip to Queelag 😅

[@julianvenedig1963]

Cata is suuuch a beaaaast

[@vityaqyvshin8370]

The FATHER of Dark Souls

[@JohnGalbraith-s7q]

i thought it was funny that he kinda blanked out on the level ups before sens skip but having to remember all these runs must be insane lol!

holy shit double 20 second unskippable ads every 3 minutes, actually the last time I ever watch a video from that channel lmao

2:54 estimate changes...?

[@Bong_Kong_420]

How did he get the gate open early at 7:38 it was never explained but I’m very curious since you normally have to follow a path underneath the gate and climb ladders just to unlock it as a shortcut

[@My13101994]

he explains it, while in topdown view no further game assets load (ergo the gate) so he can just run through

[@Magillanica_Lou_Mayvin]

He outruns the enemy that closes the gate

[@literallyjustgrass]

The enemy that he passes there (sword and shield guy) will run to the lever and close it. If you're fast enough you can run through before he does. That enemy doesn't respawn, so if you kill him the gate will never close again, but if you open the gate and let him live, he will close it again the next time you run through

[@junkmeichrys]

I never see BUILD

[@trikyllon6968]

All losers break the game ;)

[@Vencino]

the cursor on the screen is distracting, next time move the mouse a little

[@adeptusmechanicus1029]

It's there purposefully for the speed run. It has a use. Did you not watch the first 7 minutes of the run?

[@jacekpsikutas]

You STILL keep social distancing and do pronouns? Gee the PROGRESS!
