These techniques are absolute insanity. All of this research, testing, and practice to save 30 seconds. Gunner is truly a maniac.

[@Gunnermaniac]

The original concept was thought of by Exarion. Pokeguy figured out some new EXP-routing stuff and finally StringFlow did the actual programming to find the manip. Amazing effort by all. I only helped with some problem solving.

[@timgonzales2891]

30 seconds in a game that's been worked on for decades, is huge.

[@KigerrVariety]

10-30 😂

[@pharmztko]

I didn’t understand a thing thank you

[@ilianplompen9975]

Very nice explanation! I don't know what boggles my mind more on these strats honestly. Like whether it's the fact that you have to know the AI so well, have to know/research which specific sequences of each frames make this strategy work and then having to be able to execute these perfectly within a few frames (fractions of a second) and then having to perform an almost 2 hour run is insane to me!

[@ilianplompen9975]

I can understand the mental part as well, figuring this out and then heavily testing it and then not being able to do full runs for a month, also considering the mental with a returning/reaggravation of an injury, that's rough...

[@boazplays7239]

Can't wait for a full speedrun commentary!

[@ronburger6826]

Fuck yea! Me too!!

[@Gunnermaniac]

Will definitely do commentary when I get World Record

[@Arkadius500]

The pidgeotto manip looks so simple when you just perform it live and it goed well. Its crazy how technical it really is

[@sjoerdglaser2794]

I understood some of those words

[@Arkadius500]

Thanks for the positive response to this video!

[@lewisjones6416]

Crazy how much work goes into saving those few extra seconds. Good luck with the runs

[@chessclarinet]

I remember Shen joking about this very Pidgeotto Manip during a speedrun at GDQ...and here we are 😅 it is phenomenal to see the improvements of different games over the years.

[@readmycomment3707]

All that just to get a pidgeotto that has agood chance of killing you lmao. Crazy strat.

[@wynnmckinnon9426]

You are like the Einstein of speedrunning.

[@RandomXxX13]

Did I find this video intereting? Absolutely. Did I understand anything? Absolutely not.

[@johnvitale1532]

More content like this! Even for old strategies! Love it.

[@PhilipMurphy8]

These speed runs are insane these days

[@altheapolyam]

I thought this was supposed to make it easier but it just makes it a harder speed run

[@Gunnermaniac]

If only

[@Ffancrzy]

That's the joke with these things, they rarely make it easier, but they always make it faster.

[@rickypotter8526]

“It's supposed to be a challenge, that's why they call it a shortcut. If it was easy it would just be the way.”

[@altheapolyam]

@@rickypotter8526 it's not supposed to be anything wdym xd also a shortcut is añways just the way unless you want to take thing slow, plus, when more people start mastering this "shortcut" it'll become the way as anything else would mean losing time

[@rickypotter8526]

@@altheapolyam it’s a quote from the film “road trip” it’s not that deep 😂

[@misterbxiv]

Sounds fun.

[@kamitube9839]

Whats the difference between timing and buffering a textbox? And how do you buffer a textbix?

WR Incoming

[@jonathancheesman8385]

Thanks for the breakdown!

[@SpectreXS]

This is one of the craziest manips in pokemon speedruns I've seen... I don't know what tops it, maybe gen 2 stuff?

[@Arkadius500]

All hail Stringflow

[@benk6192]

Amazing

[@TheGekkoEntertainmen]

Is a cute dog in the background essential for this strat? 🥺🥺

Are you an LSU fan?

[@mermer2938]

WR is near

[@Hans_Wermhat]

Surprised an LSU fan could figure this out. I'd have just assumed you were lighting bonfires and drinking whiskey at 8 am. Impressive.
