How Speedrunners are Breaking Gears 2

[@luckyghost7777]

50 seconds into the video and ive already learn something ive never knew before

[@generalpacman6414]

Yeah never knew you can skip some of the dialogue by simply pressing the back button.

[@JohnDoe-pu5gk]

​@generalpacman6414 How could you not know that? Just proves you never played the game lol

[@joeystarr1273]

@@JohnDoe-pu5gkhow’d this prove anything Ived played all the games multiple times and never recalled doing this

[@CodyWentland-n9s]

@@JohnDoe-pu5gk I’ve beaten every Gears game multiple times got Gears 1 at the midnight launch and I never knew this 😂

[@click8708]

@@JohnDoe-pu5gk Not true, I read a thread before of people who had up to 800 hours in Skyrim and NEVER knew that you could sprint. I have no idea why though as you can see the dragon born sprint in the trailer and even if you didn't watch the trailer surely they watch some Skyrim youtube videos and see someone sprinting? Apparently many many people missed that though.

[@MintBlitz]

Really solid video, it also got recommended outside of the Gears audience, hope this blows up :) edit - osrs music nice

[@kallummilne8365]

minty spotted in the wild lmao

Good to see you

[@RoyleVegeta]

Halo an gears 😮 this explains reach in 5....

[@Vedit0r]

Mint!

[@sirnorespond]

lol I’ll show you what a lifetime of GOW looks like not 1000 hours.

[@lostplayerA]

As someone who's done some of these glitches in this video, I love seeing the game being broken in various ways , excellent video ! -- If you walk towards the back of the brumaks legs , you can actually start floating on top of the brumak, sorta like sky walking ? On the Bridge and Stairs section.

[@Maxylobes]

Video randomly came up on my feed and I remembered your name. You and I were on Amyrlinn's GDQ Hotfix show, Aimbot, and I thought your Gears run was pretty dope. Glad to see you're deciding to cover them more in-depth. Great job.

[@Flurby]

Yeah I remember that! I'm glad you liked it. Hope you're doing well!

[@Tazlmao]

new editing style is immaculate

[@JohnDoe-pu5gk]

Lol this game desperately needs a remake, the whole trilogy does.

[@bigboysdotcom745]

They already remade the first one and the rest look perfectly fine with the patches they put on the Series X

[@Hewhoislifex]

@@bigboysdotcom745L take

[@zonkhead1338]

what they really need to do is port 2 and 3 to pc

[@kernoleary1394]

2 and 3 are on gamepass on pc I believe

[@leyley2137]

This is all interesting as hell. I can't believe I never thought to look up Gears speedrunning, as an old Gearshead myself (bought a 360 just for Gears 1 back in 2006, good times) and a speedrun aficionado. I'll be sure to hop on when you next stream to check out the runs and glitchhunting!

[@TusksTheAxew]

Very nice and clear editing (with music names as well!), understandable explanations and crispy clean quality overall, not to mention the sheer amount of tricks i never heard of before. Awesomely made vid!

[@daveOnYouTube]

Ohhh This video really showed how one animator can make such a huge impact. What a legend!

[@JumpersYT]

This was a great video! I knew about some of these glitches but was surprised by many others!

[@greasedumpster9781]

very high production video, edited, formatted and paced very well gears campaigns are the best in gaming

[@zDialecticChaos]

Wow, this game looks amazing for being 16 years old

[@MrDumpitout]

November 2008 was sooooo good

[@BlueInfernoR]

Editing on this ones immaculate

[@wabgarok4748]

Didn't know there was this much going on in Gears speedruns. Really cool to see

[@KHowardArtist]

I remember being a kid and discovering that boom shield mantle I was so pumped lmao that's the only glitch I've ever found on me own

[@nukemdukem1]

Hearing that track from Legacy of Goku II hit hard. What an underrated and incredible gem of a game.

[@booshninja431]

Sheesh that Legacy of Goku ost hittin'! 5:22 But damn bruh, this was fun to watch! I've always watched speedrunning videos but never thought of looking up GoW. This is badass!

[@MikeyBoiYah]

Dang someone beat me to it

[@MichaelFoster117]

Right? Although I thought that track was from buus fury.

[@The_Real_DrMagic]

Feels like im watching a g4 episode of xplay

[@DeathKontrol]

yo sick vid awesome work you're doing on this game

[@mattbrewerton6884]

I don't remember encountering any issues in Gears 1 or 2. I do, however, remember both games being fucking amazing. Awesome memories with my dad playing Gears on my uncles massive plasma TV until 4am.

The algorithm has blessed me with this video while I eat and I couldn't be happier

[@saturatedfats]

This is the content I live for.

[@reesescup220]

happy this video came up

[@CoolingCashew31]

14:05 Brumak: *Keemstar screaming SFX*

[@chrisb9377]

Great info I learned a ton of things! One constructive criticism would be that background music volume was a little too loud and fought with your voice for attention. That or maybe I was just jammin to the music too much lol

[@Flurby]

I was jamming pretty hard while editing. Thanks for the feedback

[@erick4845jr]

Gesrs is just one of those games i need to kill everything before moving to the next section so i never knew most of this

[@GAMEPRO24X]

14:04 i cant ever get enough of these games ragdolls

37k in a week? nice man. love watching great content creators get what they deserve.

[@daze6716]

holy moly i want to replay gears 1-3 now and try these wish it was on pc

[@specialbeefpho7453]

Cool video Algorithm randomly recommended this. I used to watch your streams as ‘woodcocks’ didn’t know you were making videos too. Nice

[@Flurby]

Yo of course I remember that name. Glad you enjoyed

[@IMFERMO.]

Loved your video bro, seems you got a handle on making cool and engaging videos

[@sim8289]

Vid so good I had to sub.

[@n0tell10t5]

That last out of bounds brought back some memories, I could remember glitching out doing as in 14:08; if you had another player join up in splitscreen, more parts of the map would load, and if they leave, it would then deload.

[@ninjadude183]

We need Gears 2 and 3 remastered so bad...

[@ItsJomm]

its crazy that i didnt know the full barge skip but before i even played games online or even cared to look up OOB glitches this was the 1st one that i discovered as a kid and it setup my love for finding OOBs. i remember split screen playing with my cousin and doing it and rememebered getting the funniest reaction and i will forever love that glitch.

[@warrenm-up4ox]

Haha I never knew about half this shit. And gears is my favorite game! Great video

[@SpartanChief2277]

luv u bro

You deserve more subs

Dude your informational videos are top notch!

[@cesaralvarez9436]

Damn Gears content getting the views, I'm so happy

[@Ron.Swanson.]

well edited

[@jetstreamsam99]

I did the elevator skip perfectly fine at 9:24, but either the mortar doesnt spawn or you're not showing where it does, because I can't find it anywhere after jumping down, so i have no choice but to play this whole segment normally Love everything else though, I did the spiral staircase skip and managed to skip the entire fight down the staircase

[@Flurby]

9:23, right by where the stairs come out, is the exact spot it spawns idk

[@jetstreamsam99]

​@@Flurby after several tries playing the level normally and doing the trick, i think it may be because I'm playing on Insane. I had done a Hardcore run the other day and I remember it spawning by the lever Edit: yeah, the mortar spawn is indeed tied to difficulty. Did a Hardcore run just yesterday and pulled it off no problem as the mortar spawned this time around. Thanks for the video Flurby!

[@EpicDuskk]

Man I miss Gears of War. I just cant get into 5. If they ever do a remaster like the halo collection im picking that up for sure. Very well edited video by the way! Glad this popped up in my recommended.

[@AlejandroKirkisObese]

Amazing video, you should blow up if you keep making this format

[@nickra2324]

a bit off topic but how the hell are the visuals of a game released in 2008 (on xbox 360) way better than almost every AAA games that got released in the past 3 years?

[@petervisi5369]

Wait, what? I don't remember any shields! Played through well couple of times for the story and their banter. I don't remember that shield. I guess it's time for another playthrough.

[@mariotaz]

That reminds me, I used to glitch hunt back in the day and found some stuff back in Illit (kzbin.info/www/bejne/paSzcoGrjd6KitEsi=f9XZULWVx3YcXfDS) Good times. Great video. Well put together

[@dscim988]

subbed cuz runescape music (and I love gears)

[@unr34L-]

No way this was made by a DBDtuber, nice vid

[@Flurby]

💀

[@Admired]

Never thought i'd see a "speedrun explained" video for a niche game like Gears. This was well done.

[@JAGtheTrekkieGEMINI1701]

Roadie Run is Sh*t in Gears 2 and I HATED that Neat Tricks though 👍

[@Cynchronyze]

Great video, I miss the good old days of playing GoW. Might have to pick up a 360 and run this game sometime.

[@TVFlix]

One thing I hated about gears 2 is how slow and clunky you felt. The roadie run being so slow shows that.

[@TheRedDragoon42]

How SpeedFlurbers are Breaking Gears 2

[@NathanDewi]

Ooosh, the little corner animation to show the music that’s playing is a game changer, love it👏🏻

[@HomicidalxPanda]

I've personally never been a fan of glitches and such, as fun as some are. When it comes to speedruns I literally just run through everything lol. The point in the campaign where you are looking for the lift to go down and get ambushed by guards in the windows, you can just walk right by it. I somehow never knew that until I replayed with someone and was aimlessly wondering around looking at stuff they said hey you just skipped the ambush. 😂

[@ricskull2660]

As gears fan 😂😂😂😂 wtf honestly some glitches in this video i did Especially with the hail mission but when i did it I honestly thought I broke the game because it started freezing and glitched but after seeing this I'm just laughing and remembering 😂 Man gears of war 2 campaign hit ❤

[@kenmarek7276]

Holy shit I never knew that a Boomshield can lifted over your head to protect your from razorhail. Thats not even just for speedrunning that could fundamentally help you in a multiplayer map or two.

[@bigmlilgv2682]

that's it, you made me replay Legacy of Goku 2 with that background music

[@pandalover69420]

I love the music selection,especially areas of action 🔥 🔥

[@connorking6852]

Haven’t played this game in so long, used to be my best friends favorite game growing up. He always wanted to play gears and I always wanted to play halo lmao. Cool seeing it be broken like this lol

[@greatoverlordchikonmaster7226]

Yooo new flurb vid just dropped pog, Coggers the 2nd

[@FI3RY]

Kinda funny i started running Road to Ruin Stealth like 2 months ago when my pc was broke, i developed a last battle strat that was a bit faster than the current one(with *good rng* you can kill all the tickers and the kantus with 2 nades, then use 2 nades from grenadier you kill on last group of enemies and get all of em with just 2), and i got like a 908 or somethin a few runs in. Been meaning to go back and look more into the full run and then this vid pops up. (also for side note durin the roadie run-roll comparisons, id probs take out the anime lines in future videos, might be a lil too much on screen to tell the clear difference for newer audiences) I kinda yapped a lil bit, but thought the coincidence was a lil funny. Great Vid, cool to see some good gears content

[@Flurby]

I don't mind the yap. That's useful info if I do R2R again and good video feedback! Cheers!

[@TheBros2theend]

Jesus loves you

[@shrøømpizza-u1t]

Im not even interested in doing speedruns, but I've always loved this trilogy, and this video has taught me so much stuff i didnt know u could do lol

[@nummiebarry519]

ok but who comes up with this, and this goes for all games, like the out of bounds tricks and stuff. Like the jumping off the barge thing or stuff with halo out of bounds stuff

[@remeokits]

Yeah it's such a good game. I will just keep doing it the normal way and enjoy playing.

[@HueyTheDoctor]

This video is so well done. And why does this game from 2008 look so awesome in your footage? Did you record from a Series X at 4k60?

[@Flurby]

Correct

[@NetherRealm265]

I remember legitimately finding the toaster Easter egg on my own first play through when I was a kid

[@everythingsalright1121]

Anyone remember skorge being extremely floppy in multiplayer if he got hit with a smoke nade

[@brokentoaster9995]

I’m completing the every game on hardest difficulty on there and this helps a crap ton

[@sergiogonzalez6958]

Let's goooo!!! Gears of war content in 2024 baby! WOOOO

[@deaksneaks]

Brought back some memories just seeing barrier breaking mentioned. I well remember doing the invisibility glitch on Jacinto and Hail, which yeah wasn’t too fun for the other team. My favourite multiplayer memories was when players on the other team would glitch out, but I would glitch out to the same spot and kill them. Great feeling to say the least. Jacinto in particular was tricky, as your actual body would move and fall outside the map while being invisible, if you rolled the same way too many times

[@Yetds]

i remember playing this game at 5am at a friends house. i was on the worm lvl and i told myself ill find a Out of bounds glitch. at some point i just walked towards a wall of the worm and went right through like they forgot about collision.i never found a good reason to do so other than laughs like how do you forget to fix that

[@thomasbrannigan229]

the fuck?! I never knew you can skip dialog like that

[@everythingsalright1121]

I played gears so much as a kid. Love seeing this now

[@jacobtorres5163]

only OG players know about these old glitches

[@zezimaownz432]

i loved this game back in the day, so speedrunning it might be fun :)

[@IHJello]

The production value of this video ridiculously high

[@MrDoob-xo3sm]

This video's quality is immaculate. Great work!

[@Pinkarmada01]

Quick question bot sure if you covered it in this vid yet but, one of the main and noticeable improvements was when the characters get into combat, they noticeablely run faster automatically like the animations speed up. Example your roadie run is faster than the non combat roadie run, is there any comparisons or techniques used for this?

[@Flurby]

I don't think it's actually combat, but certain actions cause the faster animation after, like dodge rolling or up A-ing from a corner. We of course try to have the best movement that we can, but most of the time the fastest thing is just a straight line with rolls. There's not really enough useful terrain to do anything super fancy in most cases. Campaign maps aren't built like multiplayer

[@mdb1010]

Some games are not meant to be speed ran. What a cringe community

[@strato8182]

I wish there were communities for speedrunning Killzone and Resistance. Those games have so much potential still :(

[@Flurby]

Be the change you want to see in the world. 😂 The Gears scene is very small, but it's still here

[@Lukas-gs1bm]

This video just hit me with a flashback of all the times I glitched out of the map on Jacinto, Blood Drive, and Pavilion in multiplayer lmao. Good times

[@aLowlyKiton]

Really well put together video man! The structure, music, and narration were all very well done and well edited, I found it super entertaining and informative! I've loved Gears for about as long as it's been around and my couch co-op playing ass didn't know anything in this video lol
