First Person to Beat After Alterna without Shooting & No Retries

This is the Shotless World Record for After Alterna, The Hardest Level in Splatoon 3.
I was the first person to beat After Alterna Shotless with 3 lives or less. if you fail three times you have to retry from checkpoint, which isn't allowed for speedrunning. making this the first valid After Alterna Shotless speedrun according to Speedrun.com: www.speedrun.com/splatoon3ce/...

So this is the run you choose to optimize

[@Dvard]

my other speedruns are more optimized, but this one is just way way more challenging - especially the part from 5:39 to 8:20 is borderline impossible

Target practice must of been so scary for you it looks extremely difficult without shooting

[@regamae]

It must’ve taken a lot of patience to not just charge headfirst into that last Octoling who absolutely REFUSED to go towards you hahaha

[@SpookyLattes]

This level is very good at making you feel bad at the game, even if you finished every other story level to get here.

[@Potemer]

Literally every target on the target section has to be hit just perfectly. I can assume that’s the part you messed up most lol

[@EverythingInMyBrain]

Imagine if you got through all of that and then accidentally fired the hero shot to set the goal thing.

[@Dvard]

i would worry so much about that, but i'm glad there's a setting to disable controller buttons on the switch

You make it look easy- That was probably literal hell to go through

[@marcoosaurus]

I literally spent a whole 6 hours trying to complete this yesterday and here you are doing it without a gun and within 17 minutes 😟 Trying to do the balloon section with no gun would genuinely end up with me snapping the controller. I have no idea how you managed that but it’s so impressive that you completed it, especially wave 3 of Octolings it took me an hour and a half to complete that WITH THE GUN 💀

[@pearlinaApocalypse]

To make you feel better i completed after alterna without dying once with the gun ☠️ and yet they did it without a gun

[@grasshopper9082]

@@pearlinaApocalypse how is that supposed to make them feel better? 😭😭😭

After beating after alterna I think it’s safe to say that it’s easier than inner agent 3

[@DaKing08]

So this is what peak performance looks like.

[@Outpost38C]

You really just saw AA and were like “hm. Too easy.”

[@someweirdo428]

So smallfry is killing, curling is mobility, and burst is multipurpose of killing groups and inking? And splatbomb… we dont talk about -splatbomb…- *R* *A* *T* *S*

[@gachabiz9216]

What impresses me is that d-pad control, and the fact that you technically don’t have to hurry and could take your time in some parts, but learned how to speedrun it like a boss and make look so much cooler! 👏😎

[@realitywizard2680]

I thought this didn't sound too bad, but then I remembered the octolings

[@Dynashu]

I was confused for a moment since Gamechamp has practically done this already, but then I saw the description and the meaning of no retries

[@dragongamerz5304]

Amazing as always.

[@Xgil2Play]

It's like playing a 3D Super Mario game. Just jumping and running (with some bomb throwings)

[@idktbhlikeirdc]

this is SO shockingly impressive, especially the targets and wave 3 of octolings! i think lil buddy was more interested in the ‘seaweed’ on the elite octolings’ hair tho. yesterday was the day i beat after alterna and idk how you ran through that so swiftly, it took me an hour. i did it again today though, i would reccomend using more splat bombs in wave 3! nut GREAT JOB!

[@dragonslayer3552]

What a beautiful run *chef's kiss* ... I like the little trick where tou jump to slow down the rail section to make it doable

[@zachwoomy]

I’ve been stuck on the 4th part with the octolings for literal days and this guy did it with only bombs

[@MintyBaka2]

This is awesome!!! Genuinely was stunned at the target part, you are an amazing splatoon player!!!

[@mellow6268]

I was thinking about a bomb only run while I was playing through after alterna, and honestly the first level might be easier with only bombs, but the target practice and octoling level sound like hell

[@ACKSonic6261]

This is just so impressive i had so much trouble on after alterna and you do it like that without main weapons and no retries meanwhile i had to do so many tries and with a main weapon honestely congrats bro really :)

i was shocked when i saw upgraded smallfry could one shot an elite octoling

[@rod24771]

Wow, just. Wow. Amazing work.

[@StarVine60]

This takes the focus, time, and effort I don’t have

[@JGHFunRun]

1:54 you can use a curling bomb to slide past the enemy bombs without needing to kill any of them, although in a level where the biggest challenge is reliability (not dying) this may not be smart to attempt

[@dohadena]

dude this is so cool my jaw was on the floor watching the whole time

[@NaveKnights]

Now we just need to see Damageless X Shotless X No little buddy, splat bomb, curling bomb X blind speedrun. I'm sure it's not THAT hard. It will probably take a century of just getting the muscle memory...
