DS2 Scholar Any% Speedrun -

Pretty happy with this run! Few mistakes here and there but will probably move onto All Bosses now. Enjoy!
I stream everyday on www.twitch.tv/distortion2

Wouldnt be a record without a rant at the start about how the last run ended ;)

[@busta10]

Sounds like that DarkViperAU guy.

[@miweneia]

​@@busta10 sounds like literally every speedrunner out there also matt hasnt speedran in like 2 years sadge

[@busta10]

He started speedrunning again. but not regularly.

[@TryingPositive]

Perfection

[@fernandofaria2872]

I love how DS2 any% now consists of a hollow named "f" wearing nothing but a butterfly skirt becoming a monarch in 20 minutes by parrying some dudes.

[@absin8078]

I’d like to believe this is the canon run in the game lmao

[@PaRaNiki_]

Congrats! Now it's time for All Bosses. Can't wait to see the progression of that category being broken.

[@MatthewTheUntitled]

The time for all bosses will be after sub 20. If someone can do it, it's disto

[@MaruiInfantry]

Glitchless all busses, you means?

[@j-darma]

I think it’s time for a SL -44 Any% run using the newly discovered character creation skip

[@Trollensky]

@@MaruiInfantry Hopefully not, that route is played out at this point, and we just found out how to parrywalk on current patch, why glitchless if there's finally something interesting.

[@j-darma]

@@MatthewTheUntitled sub 20 is going to be a stretch when sum of best is 22:47. Not sure how much more time save is possible when he’s hitting all the parrywalks, pursuer, nashandra glitch, and throne watcher first try. There was 7-8 seconds of easy time save on the first parrywalk that he missed, maybe a few more seconds throughout the run with movement optimizations and perfect RNG - that still puts us around 22 minutes. We’d need some sort of fundamental route change to get below 20

[@TSfish94]

If I watched this when it I started, this run would’ve fit into my lunch break. Thank you dist for providing quality runs for the working man.

[@GreenDayGA]

It was my lunch break today

[@pbruh]

Haha one year later and I’m watching this on my lunch break

[@Nyko_senpai]

Same here bro, i kinda like watching a speed runs while on my lunch break. Makes me wanna go home and motivate me to play games

[@NovaSixx]

From the way dist sounds after fucking up the previous speedrun they sound addicting once you get the hang of them. You're the goat dist.

[@kieranm9340]

Caught this one live luckily. It was the only run I tuned in for. Very entertaining streamer

[@dovahskill2108]

Amazing as always, i'm so hyped for the all bosses

[@BrianM_3rd]

Insane pace, what a run. Watching history being made right here.

[@jdantas6612]

Jesus Christ, that's almost a 2 minute time save over the last wr, this is insane!

Wow Ds2 is doing very well in 2022 ! Highest numbers of online players in a while. Parrywalking which is awesome and shattered Ds2 speed runs. Return to Drangleic. And Elden Ring comes out in a month so people are just hyped and ready to cure their hollowing

Wow, came from the last run with the new glitch, wasn't expecting the pursuer glitch there. Bloody nice run, I can't wait to see progression of All Bosses now, always been my favorite category to watch.

[@holtikultura911]

6:22 from this i learned that what you are wear affects how well you perform the speedrun

[@chocobro___]

In game and IRL

[@BobJones-bg4ui]

It’s all about the pants!

[@LazyMonkey24]

Finally came to see the fruits of the new glitch, feels good to watch a DS2 run after so long.

[@marcelohenrique2657]

Congratulations!! Its very good see speedrunners from dark souls community getting awesomes times!!!

[@poiutz]

What a run, Dist is unbelievable

[@newportlord]

This popped up in my feed, I’ve never played a souls game but I enjoy watching speed running videos, I subscribed the second I heard sitting in jeans is a sin.

[@kawaiimercenary]

Excited to see the all bosses run with this glitch!

[@Bambuzzsprosse]

Wow dude, you really can't get enough at the moment. Congratz for sub 25 but it feels like the time will shrink further and further when you keep grinding ^^

[@sairozy_ss8531]

Only you the one who can beat your own wr great job man 👍

[@russell7790]

This man can’t be stopped

[@user-pg4eq6hw9q]

Congrats! You are the best!

[@Tomiyuuki]

Impressive, as always 🙏

[@ImmyRey]

"hey Dist how low can you get the record?" "Yes"

[@Hoofler]

OMG I love "It's Always Sunny" that shows hillarious XD

[@Lasor4]

Crazy by how much best the previous WR, even with all the times you've said, "this will lose me some time" lol Congrats! 😊

[@chemistweeb]

cant wait to see the routing for all bosses!

[@representelanation4463]

Congratulations man!

[@harryleeds8855]

The fact that this parry walk strat has completely changed the run, the fact he’s running this game again and the fact that he’s already saved 2 WHOLE MINUTES off the last WR is unbelievable

[@LC-hd5dc]

could save at least a minute more, although tough going

[@atsuma5846]

Congratulations!

[@meestersecure9060]

This is the best no jeans run of all time

[@rudiemeant3267]

[@zactogepi6824]

Dist2 be like: "bruh my controller fell of my pants" *parrywalks and beats the game on WR*

[@JustinsRealmMC]

Elden ring time is now close to this. Let's go distortion!

[@mee091000]

It's been awhile since I've watched DS2 speedruns. After spending 2-3k hours on the game and watching one of the earlier world records I never thought I'd feel that initial "WTF is this" feeling again. Then I watched this

[@Zenusoid]

Hello from Karmik! BTW nice run!

[@alexroseman2223]

All about them jorts bro. Also good run.

[@leonardoh.h.2095]

Man. Congratulations. I'm serious. This was amazing. I wish successful for you always. Big hug from Brazil.

Don't say it too loud, he might decide to actually go for it😂

Hell yeah dist!!

[@magnusbaltzersen9734]

So its a new route from in just a couple of days? Insane

[@atachi111]

Great job as always! Are you going to speedrun all bosses category after hitting what you want in any%?

[@babbychat]

i was here for this one and i yelped multiple times

[@AS-dx3kw]

congrats!

[@OfficerFlatFoot]

WR baby

[@StalwartShinobi]

i love bill burrs story about a guy he worked with that owned 1 pair of jeans and no underwear, he had a hole near the pocket in his jeans and one time he stepped over something and the hole moved perfectly to flash his whole junk lmao

[@christianmoniot1219]

GG congrats

[@entry_7202]

He just can’t stop winning

[@theundeadempire3640]

I do wish I could do the parry run glitch on Xbox but it’s way too hard. I don’t even think you can jump without running. Nice job on this run and sorry you didn’t get the one before this one you said was even better

[@farms6]

That's what the butterfly skirt is for it allows you to jump without running.

[@TheHogfatherInvades]

wow that is an insane time

[@trevante4640]

Is there a tutorial video for the trick at 6:10 ds2 is my favorite souls game and I'm interested in speed running it so I'm very curious how to do this trick or if there is a guide for the whole run.

[@user-wt9hy1cf2n]

Nice run

[@Kartoffelbroetchen]

What happened at around 5 minutes with the vendor in Majula? I only played through Dark Souls 2 once, I read about him changing his items once you hit NG+2 and burning a Ascetic will get you up one NG level, but shouldn't he be at NG+1 with burning 1 ascetic?

[@nn4n9v]

in 23 minutes im still creating my character lol

[@brandanmentch]

I finally beat ds2 last month, and i gotta say, all these tricks and glitches are shocking/confusing lol

Моё уважение 🎩

[@psychogore]

All that is missing now is one or 3 large titanites to get faster kills. Wonder if there's any on the way that could justify the detour ?

[@j-darma]

Any plans to do an SL -44 run with the new character creation skip?

[@guilhermeioshuabelmont7326]

is 44 the ammount of points you get from all the classes?

[@strogonoffcore]

about the jeans and pants discussion, I'm starting to be a member of the skirt/dress gang, but the issue is the constant thigh burn 🥺

[@vinni666]

Do you run faster with the Binoculars equipped? Or why is that?

[@Talitos.]

You again lmao, cograts

[@stevenjamesosma3246]

Can this glitch be used to easily and quickly get the no death and no bonfire rings? For utilization in consoles, I guess the biggest challenge will be getting over the wall at aldia’s keep.

[@guilhermeioshuabelmont7326]

the inputs are kinda tricky in the console, not so consistent as you see in the video. I think you can use it, but getting the glitch to work will be difficult

[@yujirohanma7551]

Lets go sub 20 yooooo

Played this for the first time in almost 2 years today. Still clunky as all get out but I still respect it. Good to see it's making a comeback.

[@LL999fv]

i wonder if we will ever get to sub 20, 313 time save is crazy but who knows... one day a new game braking glitch may be discovered, i bet if there is dist will be the one who finds it

[@beargrylls6135]

Sub 20 has been done before but I think in this patch its impossible.
