[@memenationalcentre]

broughy has just created 120 new speedrun categories…

[@ssmith7074]

119

[@andreaspooky6183]

How come 120 (or even 119) ? He said first and last checkpoint will always be either former Gfred's (or Derfg's, I guess), and this already eliminate large combinations. Considering first and last are fixed, and checkpoints extracted cannot be extracted again, there are left 3! * 2 combination left. 12 total routes to easily study in advance for optimization.

[@c0ldc0ne]

@@andreaspooky6183 Lighthouse, quarry, airport, Chiliad and observatory are 5 variable checkpoints, allowing for 5! = 120 variations.

[@rendregreyling9614]

@@andreaspooky6183 The start and finish are not included in the gfred acronym. There’s 5 total checkpoints between the start and end which can be randomized: lighthouse, quarry, airport, chiliad, observatory. So 5! or 120 combinations but only 119 are new given that the regular route is one already.

[@andreaspooky6183]

@@rendregreyling9614 I see, thx

[@ACCEL1R8]

GFRED scramble is going to be great

[@Mighty_Marty]

Agreed, I love it already 👌🏻💃🏻💨💨

[@LivingWithGames]

Oh, *Broughy*. I figured, 30 minutes would mean the race would be a lot more scrambled. Nah, you had to botch the hail mary and the return is even worse...TWICE.

[@_MjG_]

Probably many of the future Gfreds will be over 30 minutes to win if the now previous second small stairway dock checkpoint is no longer conveniently close to the starting island.

[@evanevan8104]

Starting the video, I assumed either a double feature with really fast cars in traffic or a long commentary at the beginning or end

[@SirRounded]

Ooh I like this! It'll definitely shake things up a bit :) Not to take away from anyone's skill or achievements, but as a viewer, it does get a little repetitive seeing the same names at the top nearly every GFRED. I reckon this will shake things up just enough to give other players a bit more of a chance.

[@WorasLT]

So its.....Scramfred :D

[@wolfavei6425]

It's all good till the scumfred

[@leepizarro]

🤣🤣❤️

[@leepizarro]

Scramfred

[@juliankeller4558]

"I have to aim myself over to the left of the map." Proceeds to completely ignore the Highway going straight to the left of the map.

[@AndreasMalwynn]

aka west

[@defective6811]

sorry babe, I know youre home alone but a new GFred dropped

[@PhillyReese215]

Rule 1 is basically the rbs, verdlith rule. They can't play and dominate every gfred they play in, gives people a chance to win.

[@_MjG_]

I'm betting RBS will still win many of these Scramblefreds.

[@thomasrigamonti1566]

Great variation, I enjoyed it. I was super confused when you turned right so early on in the run and then when you got the 9F and started climbing Chilliad, my brain melted, haha, good stuff, glad you’re keeping it fresh

[@SockmanYT]

Love this idea Brough, I can only imagine how much you needed a little breath of fresh air. What you said at 9:40 brought back a memory of an idea I had many many years ago, by creating a Gfred “alphabet.” In theory there would be 26 pre-determined checkpoint locations, each with a letter of the alphabet assigned to them, and then the race would be named using the letters of whatever checkpoints were used.

[@TheRealAlpha2]

When I saw how much fun you were having with the Cannonball I had a feeling it was only a matter of time! I like this change, specifically for the channel, not that I won't still enjoy watching classic Gfreds from time to time.

[@bartlx]

I like the randomness in this new format. I wish vanilla GTA Online PC had proper public races like this, without mod using 8-year-olds destroying the whole experience... But I know, that's like wishing there was no evil in the world.

[@Hightide840]

OMG! Your ability to blow it at the end is so undeniably entertaining. Puh-lease don't go getting TOO good at this in your practice. Stellar concept btw. Top notch. 😊

[@ph1lh0ff]

Thanks for the shout-out! 💜

[@Sanjay_JT]

Oh hi phil👋

[@ph1lh0ff]

hi Sanjay 👋

[@evanfury130]

New gfred, same broughy 😂

[@araylaurence6220]

this is a very simple but interesting change, but changing the gamemode won't hide the fact you need practice hahaha

[@tomgrant29]

This is so much fun. I randomly discovered Gfred during the first UK lockdown thanks to the ineffable YT algorithm (I've never even played GTA lol) and binge watching it was one of the things that helped me through that time. Sinve then the weekly upload has been part of my decopmression ritual and to see such a fun evolution has me very excited. Thanks Brough and everyone involved :)

[@CosmikRogered]

Great way to mix it up, thoroughly enjoyed that

[@briannelson5432]

Loving the scramFRED so far, it's so interesting seeing all the different routes everyone takes to get to a certain checkpoint. Can't wait to see more, and how close the racing will get.💯🔥🔥

[@TeasyLove]

thank you so much for implementing gfred scramble!

[@davidflewelling5043]

I love it. Racing liveries on the field master. Thank you project Homecoming. I am laughing while typing

[@WTR28]

Happy to see Gfred back and I like the changes. Can't wait to see what memorable moments and chokes these changes bring and boy did this one give us some entertaining chokes 😂😂

[@meme-ge8tq]

THIS. This is amazing; idc about winning or losing so much but finding out new fast routes between all of these checkpoints, 120 different variations like you mentioned, is gonna be so entertaining.

[@chompette_]

Route for race 1 was picked manually to show off some of the possible routes that even derfg didn't show, like having to navigate through the downtown city, through vinewood from the observatory, and decending the other side of chilliad (even though broughy picked the traditional way down.) The lighthouse was kept the same for some easing in as the scrambled freds can be up to 50% longer than a gfred with that checkpoint randomised, better to go easy on race 1. Routes will be random from now on and are being set without the knowledge of the other staff so benny, dinmite, lok can all go into it as blind as everyone else.

[@jonathan__g]

GFred Scramble was fun. It is a nice twist on what has been a staple for such a long time.

[@TheCazadorSniper]

The potentially longest GFRED would probably be Starting island, observatory, Quarry, Chiliad, lighthouse, airport, Ending Island

[@aarongarrett4184]

Plus more broughy deaths on the hail Mary, damn that's a long gfred!

[@_MjG_]

Debatable. I think it could be longer if it was 1)Chiliad, 2)Lighthouse, 3)Observatory, 4)Quarry, 5)Airport, & finish Island. I think they would lose more time & it would be far more chaotic having to use the 1 & only path both up & down East of Chiliad. They would be pretty much forced to crossover with most of the other players. With your proposed "longest Gfred", the best players would go from Quarry, under the Alamo Sea & then up Chiliad like they normally have in the past & do so quicker than those going both up & down the path East of Chiliad.

[@nikolasubaric]

Very happy to hear that you will get some practice in! You are a really good driver but the parts that were slowing you down the most (full send, hail merry, swimming line) are just some thing that are down to pure practice. I think it will be worth it in the end, as a viewer it kind of sucked to watch you do a really good race and then fail the jump, always thinking to myself "damn it broughy, you gotta get the practice in!" XD

[@gp2engine823]

Gfred entering mid-life crisis quite early

[@barrypoole7254]

Great move Broughy! That would make the Gfreds less repetitive and more unpredictable, looking forward to more Gfred Scrambles!

[@pocketfuloducks1062]

That was FUN! Happy birthday!🎉

[@fyshfysh]

just adding that this is great and if it means you enjoy it more and we get more freds, everyone's a winner

[@firehawk8566]

Love the GFRED Scrambles!!!

[@uchiharew]

CannonFred?! loving the variation, even more punishing than dieing before you reach the top of chilliad

[@texhenning9603]

Should have a section at the end showing the fastest route for each leg of the journey. SO in this episode: 1. SHow POV from Lighthouse to Chilliad 2. Shortest time from MC to Observatory 3. Observatory to Airport 4. Airport to FInish

[@_MjG_]

Don't know how Broughy can't figure out he keeps running the cars too deep into the cliff on his Hail Mary launches.

[@shig.bitz.3205]

I was wondering why this one was 30 mins hahaha Love the change and the video 🫶

[@HeckNico]

Man, best format for this race, this is perfect! Thx

[@norwegianknightrider]

18:30 Hint: Don't boost just before the hail mary. (I did managed tho, barely, to get to the island)

[@MarkCupLee]

There will only be 5x6=30 segments of possible routes from checkpoint to checkpoint, so it's definitely possible to practice all the possible route in advance. Also, derfG will have two meaning if you note the scrambled order of checkpoints by the letters.

[@crusty_magog]

Yep! And many of the new routes are just variations on each other. In reality this means the players that take this too seriously will figure out how to do the new routes quickly to have an advantage over everyone else.

[@BizzaroHunter]

@@crusty_magog What defines someone taking it "too seriously?" People get on these servers and hotlap other tracks. Broughy himself hotlaps tracks constantly. This is just another track that people practice, they take it just as seriously as other races..

[@E63_121]

Ahhh a new chapter ! Love this new change ❤

[@razielthagreat2109]

My god broughy.. you have got to practice your hail marys lol.... you keep taking the angle too shallow.. so you would benefit from watching RBS channel for like 15 minutes and just see where he angles the car towards the launch... you have to go a little further and dont turn in so soon.. youll see what i mean if you ever watch it .. fun stuff absolutely love the variation!!!!

[@MichaelSheaAudio]

Gfred Scramble seems like the obvious name. Once you started going the wrong way and I looked at the map, I'm like "what is this, a Gfred Scramble?", and then you said it. I'm in, it'll definitely keep things interesting!

[@vladislavmatiusenco1089]

Brilliant idea. You exceded the expectations. So now no one will practice in advance and have an advantage

[@shadowrogue1973]

GFRED roulette! But it's your baby, so scramble works too. Great idea. Makes it so much more interesting to watch.

[@rogerkilpatrick2262]

GFRED scrambled GREAT new racing. Well done.

[@leepizarro]

❤️🤣 this is going to be great !

[@jimmercure4473]

Great fun. Love the changes.

[@JamieAubrey]

12:31 WE'RE HALFWAY THEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ♪♫ Edit: Good guy Adam letting everything else finish

[@iiComment13]

So excited for this season of GFred, back to basics! Make it what it was, fun and entertaining and not a sweat fest!!!

[@MrScottev]

Excellent new format mate.

[@crusty_magog]

Although there are 120 variations in reality it’s more like 25 because there are only 5 different possible routes from one checkpoint to the next and the checkpoints are independent for the most part. People will soon figure out the fastest way to do the 20 new lines.

[@ESPSJ]

You know what I actually like it. I think it offers so much more variation, however there's still the element of familiarity because we all know the checkpoints themselves. Plus the start and finish are the same.

[@pinioncorp]

It needs to tell you the next checkpoint like the cannonballs do

[@danielsgrunge]

This is like playing a Gfred for the first time every single time, so cool! I wonder what the fastest possible sequence would be Can't wait for the known usual suspects to find the better route for every single one of them 😅😅😅

[@Frank_West]

I like it. Number one in the hood, jig.

[@ADJLfanatic3000]

Lol, new gfred style, still broughed it up xd

[@DCecil21]

I think GFRED should stay the same. It's classic, well loved, and iconic. Coca Cola is classic, well loved, and iconic as well. They are always trying new variations, flavors, looks, but in the end, Coke is the best seller for the company and the overall favorite. There's a reason for that. You really just don't mess with a tried and true formula.

[@broughy1322]

To use your own analogy - those new variations and flavours obviously do well enough that they keep creating them and trying new things. As long as the original coke is still there (like the original Gfred will be) there's no reason not to keep things fresh as well.

[@Delcaek]

The best thing to happen to GFRED since it moving to the main channel.

[@ole7762]

Thank you broughy for trying my idea! Even though you were sceptical at first, when i told you about it 8 years ago. Anyway, works great! And you can trust me with all my other ideas in the future

[@copygrinder8700]

GREAT idea!!!

[@mat_tamarin]

Happy with the changes, glad to see it back!

[@mavchb]

GFRED Scramble is a Great idea!

[@OiNathann]

That is actually crazy, I also came up this idea a few months ago and just released a few races like two weeks ago and I was waiting to comment to you about it in your next Gfred video (this video) but lucky I watched a bit of the video first otherwise I would have looked like an idiot.

[@ioeee7563]

You shouldn't worry too much about that. As an idiot, you don't stand out, these days. 😁

[@texhenning9603]

I'd like to see a couple of custom checkpoints added from select fan freds, like the dam

[@razielthagreat2109]

me yelling at broughy from the airport TAKE THE HIGHWAY TO THE FINISHING ISLAND.. TAKE THE HIGHWAY.. THE HIIGHHWAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY lol forgetting he cant hear me and this is a recording lol

[@Jockuptown]

Fr, man has been playing this game for 10 years and has so little knowledge of highways and main arterial roads its baffling.

[@ByronWalter]

The more things change, the more they don't. Thanks to Broughy for the grins.

[@KagedWhizDumb]

I don't understand the mechanics of opening the chute just out of the car for some, while Broughy has to struggle so much there. I hear the button mashing. What's missing? Oh...that's right. Talent. 😂 Just playing Broughy, that was still entertaining. GGs everyone.

[@reptiloidmitglied2930]

Broughy found a way to make the OG route meta again 👍

[@trautsj]

scrambled GFRED's the breakfast of champions!

[@mrpapasquats8023]

GFred Scramble is cool and much needed

[@Timberwolf69]

Looking forward to more of this new series.

[@schumifannreins295]

I like the change!

[@jf_kv_]

Hello people of youtube, welcome to the reinvention of a Gfred channel

[@PaganCurse98]

Gfred scramble. I'll be damned he brought something from midnight club los Angeles.

[@philneville5471]

Brought it up ✌🏻 big time! 🤣

[@matthewblainey4254]

Omg this new format sounds insane, wonder what hideous race it'd be if the checkpoints went start>lighthouse>quarry>airport>chiliad>observatory>finish. Can't imagine the shenanigans. I'd actually be really interested to see how the different formulations vary in duration

[@Supernautus]

Gfred Scramble works, or Scramblefred

[@MrJeree95]

Funny how he spends half the race yapping about the new scrambled route while constantly forgetting to check where the next checkpoint is and following the old route out of habit

[@ventilo1825]

Can't wait for derfg scramble and lapfred scramble !

[@Tclbmx_]

That was one of the best hail mary jumps, when you finally pulled it off 😂😂

[@pah23]

I love the new concept! Not wild on calling it G-Fred Scramble, personally would call it G-Spread cause there's a spread of options for routes and checkpoints!

[@michaelrautio2388]

Love this concept.

[@texygames]

This game should be called "Gfred!" because it's a factorial

[@RJFerret]

So, "Cannonball".

[@Legendarynfoknights]

This is gonna be dope 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@bruceharrip]

I approve this race style🙃

[@2001benraze]

RBS is probably already optimizing the routes between every possible checkpoint arrangement.

[@DasIstDerMars]

Broughy is happy about the challenge of a new mode versus Broughy does not care about the new mode at all and does not look at the map once.

[@GenXDaddyO]

A welcome change. Love GFRED but it was beginning to go a bit stale and the changes you’ve introduced will avoid that. This puts a bit more focus on map knowledge and driving ability in unfamiliar areas. Love it! Edit: Also glad to hear that you’re willing to put in some time and effort to improve in areas like the start and the Hail Mary. It’s fun to watch you Brough it up but, for me at least, it’s more fun when you’re competing for a win or top 5.

[@16montana24kobe]

You’re right about this being a great race nice

[@Dench999or911]

Liking the changes and it looks like most of the audience agrees!

[@trautsj]

Kinda seems like someone could just curate a longer cannonball every couple weeks and this would be the same result, or maybe even better with a few GFRED-ish checkpoints spread across the map at new locations. Then if the route seems really good maybe you could do that a few times to see how that meta develops and then move onto something new after a couple tries at that.

[@benchaninja2848]

great addition

[@DanXDelion]

What an awesome idea!

[@mikejefferys]

Nice to mix it up for fun

[@ArgKnoxville86]

An improvement to make on this race (I dunno if it can be done) is to have, like cannonball races a pop up telling you where the next checkpoint is each time

[@ryshow9118]

Excited for the change

[@mustvalgekanal]

The scramble is a fantastic change, these will be nice to watch! Well apart from the fact that the position counter is useless...

[@tjfritts9013]

No more "Get 9F first=Win"? I don't like it...I LOVE IT! About time something came along to make this less predictable and more interesting. Original GFreds have, sadly, gotten a bit boring. Glad to see somebody thinking of ways to spice them up. I hope to see these more often by you and creators who copy you.
