[@Mitchriz]

Thank you so much for having me GDQ! But I realize I was so concerned with hitting the zips, I forgot to explain how to do them. It gets very technical, so be warned! To perform the zip, you have to hold block for 126 frames, and then tap walk for exactly 7 frames. In other words, you must both press and release walk frame perfectly. The reason that this causes a zip is because then your blocking animation will loop and start again at the same time that you transition back from walking to standing still. These two animations overlapping like this cause the zip. In addition to these frame perfect inputs, you will only zip if you keep a perfectly stable 60.0002327 frames per second. If you drop even a fraction of a frame, the zips don't work. That is why zips are only in the "unrestricted" category, and not the regular any%, because they are hardware dependent. There are some other things I could talk about with zips, like you can get different distances with different equip loads or different inputs, but hopefully that satisfies some curiosities.

[@dorniscum]

Nice run Mitch! Thanks for fun commentary ❤

[@flyingemu36]

Is this also why one of the boss fights is a bit harder because you might have a frame drop during that time?

[@Yes420IsMyNumber]

thanks for posting this! awesome run, you nailed a lot of the early zips and it was impressive to see!

[@Smoth48]

Top tier run Mitch :) So glad that the ER community restricted these from any% haha. Very cool as a tech showcase, but not terribly entertaining xD

[@Jetsetlemming]

Did you have to bring your own PC to GDQ to do the run, then? Since it's not reliable if the GDQ PCs would be compatible with zips. I remember the zips actually getting banned after somebody proved it was hardware reliant but I don't remember the details of that lol.

[@pixelpastiche]

Seeing 2024-01-20 14-14-28.mkv get broken like this brings back so much nostalgia! Man I was raised on this game.

[@SeventhHokage]

💯

[@LoudonClear]

Raised on what game?

[@Poefred]

Only real ones were here when this video was titled 2024-01-20 14-14-28.mkv

[@zen.mn.]

real ones unite

[@happyguy1237]

Hello

[@PrideEepy64]

The name 2024-01-20 14-14-28.mkv are the friends we made along the way

[@koLdZ1]

Real ones club

[@forresthouku2445]

I too am real

[@odiec5567]

Shoutout to the GDQ staff for getting these posted so quickly. I'm honestly impressed given how long posting has taken in previous marathons.

[@EnjoyVideos99]

Since last GDQ the community has found a bunch of new movement tech which made them completely reroute the Any% KZbin Upload category

[@mklptrk]

There’s a noted jump in posting quality and speed this year..Production in general is great!

[@NeroViolet]

I feel honored to have been here for the historic first speedrun of 2024-01-20 14-14-28.mkv on GDQ! Congrats to the runner and the commentary team!

[@Hunter0296]

chat after voting for this then realizing it was all zips was funny

[@pablitus44]

2024-01-20 14-14-28 what a game , a gem from the childhood

[@TheShadow7771]

never thought watching a guy stock still pushing a stick forward could be so tense, but that maliketh encounter proved me wrong

[@Lordillidian]

I remember playing 2024-01-20 14-14-28.mkv when it released, as it was the game with the weirdest name that I have ever played.

[@thespacephantom]

x's commentary was so good

[@jakeey0]

i love 2024-01-20 14-14-28.mkv

[@-Evergreen.]

The staff at GDQ speedran the uploading process for 2024-01-20 14-14-28.mkv

[@Quartercaste]

Congrats x and x great gameplay and commentary!

[@zdelrod829]

2024-01-20 14-14-28.mkv is one of the speedruns of all time. Also, SpikeVegeta on couch makes the runs much more enjoyable.

[@nothingisawesome]

Spike is always a treat

[@Frinkern]

"I wish he was my dad"

[@ejthedj8696]

Love the title brings character to the runners

[@silence433]

This was fantastic. Great speedrun! I love learning about these game through speedruns even though I will never be a speedrunner myself - so fun to see and learn the mechanics of it all

[@noodledog2849]

My favorite GDQ event will alway's be mitch's blindfolded sekiro run. Mitch is always a ton of fun to have host a game.

[@lenneth878]

That x dude commentating AND hosting at the same time? Mad props to him!

[@RamonRaa]

Best video name)) Anyway, ty for the run, it was very fun to watch

[@0ZeroByte0]

Dude so cool having SpikeVegeta on the couch love his commentary and much love for the runner displaying his skills and making it seem easy!

[@CanTERRA]

Speedrunners and glich hunters are just amazing at this point

[@jaykorner1391]

Good commentary changes these videos dramatically. Great benches

[@KirbyCoder]

What a title “That’s never happened before!”

[@NickHuntFB]

freeman he yet 😅

[@jaysal_dies]

is it just me or was the tech not explained? Like, it was kind of explained, but I'm not sure what he's inputting or why it zoomies you all the way to Bloodborne 2

[@paulelderson934]

Yeah would been great to hear some info about it. Maybe some backstory about discovery and the routing development as well.

[@bcross9109]

what ARE the zips? Guy seems to just stand in one place...with a metronome...and suddenly teleport across the map? They haven't explained it after 4 of them or so

[@sugar5374]

We don‘t really know why exactly they work but you essentially try to have the idle block animation loop and on the frame it would restart its loop/animation again you input a slow walk to override the start of the loop. There are a lot of technical requirements (60fps+ etc.) to perform them. But most importantly the input of the slow walk is a frame perfect input.

[@G102Y5568]

It's actually pretty simple. With certain equipment sets, and by wiggling around your character in a specific way at a specific moment during the player's idling animation, there's a glitch where the player's model briefly overlaps with itself. Of course when two objects get stuck the game resolves this by teleporting both objects a distance apart from one another, but because the two objects are attached to you, it keeps teleporting and teleporting and teleporting you, as teleporting is doing nothing to help solve the issue. Eventually the player's model just unsticks itself as the animation plays. But by that point you're pretty much halfway across the map.

[@ForlornLemon]

SpikeVegeta explained it during the second mega zip

[@joooo2599]

I'm not sure about the exact numbers but essentially blocking and then moving forward for a very precise number of frames causes the game to just send you flying. The metronome is just there so that he can better time the actions cuz they're super precise

[@sebastiancompton2511]

Yeah I kept waiting for them to explain it....

[@IronJimbo]

2024-01-20 14-14-28.mkv was definitely the highlight of the show.

[@lotusfrucht111]

Spikevegeta just brings back so much nostalgia for me. All the way back to the rayman legends gdq run a decade ago. Nice seeing him again

[@bkstaxman]

That thumbnail is everything, love seeing Spikevegeta!

[@AmeHart]

Based MKV encoding

[@stanmarsh3716]

Can't wait to see 2024-01-20 14-14-28.mkv fully optimized next year!

[@Umbra451]

it ending on being dunked on by Hoarah Loux is just perfect

[@TheEru88]

I remember Vegeta from the first ACDQ. Its crazy so much time has passed. They used to be im this little room

[@whodatboi637]

Also love the cohost. He's a real hypeman. Was fun to watch :)

[@abdalla8558]

My boy mitch killing it like always

[@Panduhz]

2024-01-20 14-14-28.mkv will now always be my favorite game

[@MadeByJoey]

I love HOW WEIRD this run is, nice work! :)

[@lukepoot347]

This is great

[@Valdrakken]

Awesome, GG

[@JothJackson]

Yes Mitch

[@CheesecakeMilitia]

Big fan of 2024-01-20 14-14-28.mkv - so happy it won in the bid war over Elden Ring and Sekiro

[@terencetensen3832]

14-14-28.mkv such a good game

[@GamePretzel]

true my favorite game2024-01-20 14-14-28.mkv what a classic banger of a title, always was wondering when somebody would speedrun this one in a gdq!

[@schpeidermann]

How do you even discover things like this??

[@ciontachthecthonicchampion3576]

Man. This is kinda cool in universe. Imagine a character who has a power that can basically make them teleport anywhere they want and teleport you out of the universe, but the downside is that they have to do it so perfectly that it’s ok the edge of what is even possible or they die, and they have to do it right in front of you. The ultimate risk reward skill

[@mklptrk]

Can someone explain the clicking noise? Is this a metronome to assist with input timing for the zips?

[@paulelderson934]

Yeah, it is

[@ryan_raus]

Bro got to crumbling farum azula faster than I even died to the grafted scion

[@LordHellnight]

Ah yes, runner X playing X!

[@DxAxxxTyriel]

What an amazing speedrun by 2024-01-20 14-14-28.mkv

[@benski98]

Nice title

[@doc6294]

I love the tech crew changing Xenadir to Xena-Whale after the whale donation 😂

[@michaelkitchin9665]

Elden Sling

[@Pinhegas]

that final glitch imples that mitch was the final boss all along lol

[@nathaniellindsey706]

This guy was my physics teacher in high school. This is actually crazy haha

[@laynehill3373]

How do people discover how to do this?

[@Player_0914]

shoutout to Matroska files

[@GumbyPokeyandWut]

Was confused by the title, guess they forgot to put in Elden Ring

[@mcjibbo6100]

Biggest game FromSoft ever and has the shortest speedrun of all of them and is the most glitchy.

[@Drew_D]

Wow! 🤯

[@arsarma1808]

2024-01-20 14-14-28.mkv but I saw bamco and I knew what it was.

[@ChoseLa77]

2024-01-20 14-14-28.mkv is probably the best game I ever played. Sucked, it got renamed to Elden Ring not long after. 2024-01-20 14-14-28.mkv is just a way better name.

[@zabackusjabbakis4973]

Spike needs to be on the couch for more runs.

[@wandergust6791]

"Runner introduction starts at x Run starts at x Commentary is provided by x x is host" love this dont punish whoever missed this honest mistake! We are all human!

[@rjs9228]

Spike is the absolute fuckin coolest I love that man

[@ToyKeeper]

Ah, Elden Fling. One of 2023's best games.

[@JuanxDlol]

2024-01-20 14-14-28.mkv is the goat video game!

[@Sprech41]

looks like the any% run hasn't changed much in awhile. Whoever discovered zips really broke this game wide open

[@the_maniac1337]

Bro how do you even found this shit out i dont get it god damn

[@LecheButt]

You know its gonna be a good run when SpikeVegeta is on the couch!

[@DMofPuppets]

There's something special about getting powerbombed and killing the final boss as a result.

[@suchmeerkat]

No way y'all are playing 2024-01-20 14-14-28.mkv?? Hurray!

[@multipass23]

why is there a metronome knock?

[@mwmmatt1]

To help with timing the glitch correctly

[@theinsfrijonds]

Zip zip!

[@omegametaledui]

Y cuando es que uno juega?

[@user-sy9bk3vb6u]

blake anderson on the couch

[@niceguy091000]

WHAAAAALLLEEENNNNOIIISSSSEESSS

[@Sephigruen]

Only Zips.

[@iAmLMF72]

Wtf how does people find this tricks

[@cyan6991]

it's funny that this video of all the videos was the one to have a mishap, cus elden ring is such a popular game there'll be tens of thousands of ppl later on wondering what on earth the comments are talkin about

[@crimson9660]

When they said this was a 2024-01-20 14-14-28.mkv any % and unrestricted run I was so hyped

[@yakov8745]

spike is the best hype man GDQ has ever seen

[@Sniperbear13]

so it turns out; the real final boss was the player the whole time...

[@pilotomarcos610]

how the hell does that works?

[@error00001]

You press and release forward at the same time the block animation loops. The actual inputs are, hold block for two seconds, then press forward for ten frames. The forward press has a 4-10 frame window but the release is frame perfect.

[@majomaheriose]

Elden Beast deserves that

[@victoriaj2129]

This is some Morrowind-ass bullshit ~affectionate~

[@jzzycaprice]

And the award for best game goes to ... 2024-01-20 14-14-28.mkv!!!! Congratulations!

[@damiens4601]

Ok but how ^^?

[@PickedaName_]

1 2 3 4 5

[@camf2895]

No combat in any souls game is kinda ass but good job.

[@Vub.]

Honestly not a fan of speedruns that have straight up teleportation glitches in them.

[@Damien-ms8nt]

People say this every single time there's any speed run showcase that uses glitches and breaks the game but the majority of people still like them so

[@andiexxel]

OMG 😮 🇲🇨

[@crtg4672]

I get the first batch of numbers, but what is 14-14-28?......Sure 14+14 = 28 but that can't be it. Or can it?

[@amative1]

2:48 PM (14 hrs, 14 mins, 28 sec)

[@chezz444]

It's the starting time of 2:14pm 28 seconds, see the top right corner for the time this video started at.

[@joyhappiness]

18 mins to watch someone basically not play the game. this isnt entertaining at all

[@literallyjustgrass]

Yeah elden ring any% is like zelda level fucked, i think the wr is ~3 minutes. There's a zipless run from 1 or 2 years back that's more fun to watch

[@echo.1209]

I mean, this is "games done quick" not "games played normally", so

[@BlackMasterones]

Bruh its speedrun...😂😂😂
