"You sound great Ian, don't worry" ... Mmmmmhm

[@anbublacc5086]

This was the run that finally made me break down & buy this amazing game.

[@zememerr2329]

Anbu Blacc I played the game blind, then I watched the speedrun

[@watermomantic4828]

tbh i was looking for a game to play and i saw this, i checked and saw specter was the bast, i decided to get the game.

[@ctronomega]

10:22 to start the run.

Favorite line of the run: "Take that, tiny man." 28:05

[@ethiopiop]

49:56 look closely... he does a dance

[@Psyboar]

I love that Munch said he was going to be quiet because he liked the music and the two on the couch continued to talk over the music and he eventually shushed them lmao

[@ShneekeyTheLost]

Best run of Silver Surfer I've ever seen, but where's Shovel Knight? :P

[@bradencosier80]

When you can’t hear Ian, either that or he’s that echoing in the background unintelligibly

[@ArcRay20]

i have been waiting to see this campaign destroyed and i wasnt disappointed, in fact it went above my expectations. but damn them skele-bro phase 1 boss kills. i had no idea and i actually used skele-bro. 31:00 i...i always thought that was a death pit, but thinking now about how the food there easily obtainable after getting the red skull, i dont see how i never realized until now.

[@withers102]

it took 40 mins into the run before they said anything about the audience not hearing Ian haha.

[@ryanahr2267]

I've played all the released content for Shovel Knight. This didn't make me rage quite as hard as Plague Knight, but man did it frustrate me at times. I'm in awe and more than a little embarrassed by this. Well done.

[@dacr0n229]

I'm at about 30 mins of the run and didnt play the game yet, but I love the concept of how spectre Knights old friend (Donovan?) made his dash possible by letting him swing from his arm and how that changed to being a slash and dash through the enemies as he turned evil.

[@zememerr2329]

Dacr0n Donovan is Specter Knight, the person you are talking about is Luan.

[@Mrflatlife]

10:07:43 On the twitch vod for July 4th www.twitch.tv/videos/156491630 for better audio

[@BlazeTaleo]

Thanks so much

[@TheTaintedWisdom]

28:23 - I actually thought that the Judgment Rush kinda sucked, but I *immediately* gravitated toward & recognized the potential of the Skeletal Sentry.

[@sketchd602]

32:17 You can kill "bertha" with the dread talon

[@alkaupadhyay7650]

Thank you

[@josephhawkins7974]

Not sure if the routing for the skulls would be worth it, but the shield curio does a great job with those blocks that attack you in Tower 2.

[@EdwardMichael3]

Ian are you still with us? Ian?....... IAN!?

[@tigerwarrior1787]

Mission Failed. We'll get em next time!

[@Toni_560]

Bertha also gets killed by this clawey thing "Dread Talon"

[@zzuxon]

18:26 QUADS CHECKED

[@Kinsley_XD]

"You sound great Ian don't worry" Ian doesn't sound at all what the fuck are you talking about

[@theunknownblock5942]

I'm still not convinced that Beeto's Big Break can be beaten by a human.

[@notspaceghost8412]

Can't wait to see a NG+ speedrun on the stage

[@foxgood5173]

"It will be fixed after the conclusion of the marathon." [So that was a fucking lie]

[@SonplaysMinEcraft]

Top 10 Anime Betrayals

[@SoffiCitrus]

The commentary this time was really good

[@oliverbrooke2937]

And then the new game plus FORCES you to speed run :’)

[@Haarunen]

32:34 nope. You can kill him/her with a curio. I don’t remember it’s name but it’s the one that deals massive amounts of damage close range. I always kill him/her with it before I do anything else. He also drops fish that heal the player.

[@tinakennedy8073]

There's a hollow knight plush!

[@Darkeyed199]

The claw curio kills the fish as well

[@Azoolag]

It's too bad Ian had connection issues, not something that could be fixed really. Great run Muncha!

[@yates198x7]

i'm playing this game right now, feels like megaman + so many games

[@gliderchucker9644]

Thanks Mr.skeletal

[@corielldoghc]

I never knew this game existed

[@jaimedeleon1194]

Badass run and the challenge at the end was siiiick!

[@peterc504]

I just beat this campaign and didnt even know u could slide like that when your not on rails!?

[@OMGpandemic]

Only with the cloak that he bought.

[@alkaupadhyay7650]

And one more. The cloak of clemency allows you to live from insta kill while depleting 3 will and 2 bars of darkness. So at max you can survive 3 falls.

[@thomasdunkelberger394]

the upgraded claw thing kills it too

[@hawkeyegough9090]

you can find the vod with proper audio on twitch www.twitch.tv/videos/156491630?t=10h14m25s

[@Humblemumble7]

Yeah, the Red Skull is what you have on top of your shoulders

[@felixblazik2820]

@ all you guys: do you really think they're going to reroute the entire run to get one curio so they can kill an enemy that appears twice

[@zememerr2329]

Felix Blazik they are just saying that the anchor isn't the only thing that kills Birtha

[@arivfx]

my left ear fucking loved this

[@Judgementxxx]

Christ they got there in the end.

[@StopChangingUsernamesYouTube]

Switch to mono audio and give your left ear some rest. It might feel like you're missing sounds here and there, but that's just the start of the recording. Dev commentary's toast, too. If you don't know how to switch to mono, read on. Windows 10, probably 8/8.1: Start menu, search for "mono". Android: Settings (from here search for "mono" if you can, or continute) -> accessibility -> hearing, and turn on mono audio. For folks on other OS'es: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Gonna have to google this'n.

[@uhmarty]

bertha isnt invincible btw :) EDIT: you can kill her with the Dread Talon

[@dewiemegaman3033]

you can kill bertha with the claw attack, it takes about three hits, but it damages bertha

[@brachyslayer3296]

How o you get purple cloak?

[@laceboner7365]

hey look it's eminem

[@SegaNightmare]

That profile name makes me happy.

[@globalryot939]

Bertha can be killed with the Dread Talon, as well.

[@maxieprimo2758]

This could have been it's own game, yet it's packaged with 2 others.

[@grandmelon4077]

Colin McGreevy Actually it IS it's own game for 10 bucks

[@isthisloss4839]

It is, on steam you can buy it for 10 dollars. They all started as their own games.

[@gudboi_ofthestars]

Thought I was the only one who called them jawas

[@colorsift8051]

I love how this guys voice is so calm yet he’s breaking a world record, my voice would be so tense 😬

[@faxmachine1162]

Greg rules, ok?

[@ryanloh7016]

You can kill Bertha with 2 Hits from the Claw Attack, but I doubt that shaves enough time off to be worth it

[@vanlalrodingi4832]

Nice playing its awesome , also how did you get judgement rush

[@RandomnessKingRickyon]

7:55

[@cyber_sheep]

so amazing

[@blackcladwarrior583]

32:14 actually the talon can damage it

[@red_milk197]

what controller is he using?

[@isthisloss4839]

Red_Milk Sega Genesis

[@beanfiend1489]

How does he keep skipping dialogue?

[@ditto-w]

spam start edit: or plus if you use switch

[@lucasdeal7480]

You can actually kill Bertha with the claw curio

[@larvesquareandfriends6940]

You can kill bertha by using the claw curio 2 times on her(i didn’t see josh’s comment)

[@temperturkey]

Upgraded claw can kill bertha fishy.

[@Cieln0va]

Skelebro died for our sins

[@anthonymorgan5959]

DID YOU CALL TINKER KNIGHT SMALL MAN

[@shiloh1281]

Why are the colors on Donovan/Specter Knight at the beginning purple and grey?

[@legoyoda5083]

He used a cheat code that changes his color palette

[@YukoValis]

I say next year do a no-justice run : ) just to mix it up.

[@MegaStevo1993]

infernal strike kills bertha yo

[@ClintonChelak]

Parts of this run felt unusually sloppy. I watched without audio so I didn't hear techniques used. To you more experienced folk, was this a good run?

[@miguelvelasco1330]

Clinton Chelak The only stage the want incredibly bad was Flying Machine, with some other minor mistakes throughout the run, but the time for what happened in the run is still very good.

[@isthisloss4839]

If ya aren't experienced, get experience and watch the run until ya get it

[@gLiTcHminusone]

My left earbud is the faulty one. Fml

[@Octopig44]

Bertha can be killed by the claw weapon (forgot name)

[@44bigfreeze]

Dread Talon

[@Octopig44]

Ragnar Ahlman thank you

[@Xcelleratr]

I might have missed something but how did he get that color scheme?

[@zememerr2329]

Xcelleratr cheat code

[@thomasalvarenga2839]

Munchakoopas, how did you make Specter Knight purple?

[@myravioli5096]

Thomas Alvarenga I think they used a cheat code

[@thegooseking6355]

I watched this wanting to know the strat for specter knight speedrun to try it myself. Maaaaybye not. to much technical skill for me

[@regalposture2230]

10:11

[@Oh-do2xr]

*Ian?*

[@loqstone]

For any pro speed runners try the G&RAIL cheat code. It is almost impossible

[@mattverhoeven9837]

Thingsandstuff365 I'm not a speedrunner but i finished it by doing propeller knight first (yes it's possible, but that vertical autoscrolling part is pretty hard), buying the judgement rush with skulls from plains + 2 or so from propeller and upgrading it and after that it becomes MUCH easier.

[@loqstone]

Cool I have been trying to do as much as I can without curios, but it is still cool you could at least beat a level other than the plains

[@karlhnedkovsky5214]

Um, you can actually kill Bertha with the upgraded claw! It takes like, two hits to kill her!

[@branwagon]

How did he start with a purple costume?

[@theodoreniemann1897]

He used a code at the name input screen

[@DJ-0]

Theodore Niemann no he fell in a big bucket of ink

[@vanlalrodingi4832]

How did you do this I did it too its so hard jk

[@BlackKnigth323]

why does his armor looks purple?

[@blakedavis3400]

Black Knight 323 cheat codes

[@srgtshocwave]

Black Knight 323 A colour/color change cheat code, it doesn't effect gameplay so it's allowed in runs.

[@Czesnek]

This video could be better without their corny jokes.

[@PixellBytes]

You're no fun.

[@Epicawesomeness64]

They made fun of my shovel I dug their graves
