How Speedrunners Beat Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order in Under an Hour

Man zeffo is so confusing it’s a pain

[@shimaalcarrim7949]

Dude Zeffo gave me PTSD I don't even know how I beat that level tbh.

[@salamander8567]

I gave up on the game for like 2 years because of how trash zepho is

[@oliverlewis3126]

@@salamander8567 I’m replaying the game and I’ve got to say it’s easier now but still fucking annoying

[@alexesposito314]

I have really fond memories of my time in this speedrun community and I am glad to see how far the run has come since I left it. I hope everyone I met along the way is doing well. This was an incredible and insightful retelling of the story, great video mate.

[@binksmagnus]

Thanks a lot! Watching your runs is a big part of what got me into speedrunning this game in the first place.

[@Pnash]

yooo Espo!

[@VesperOne]

Hope you're doing well man!

[@rohanturnerr]

Hey espo I hope you’re doing well it’s crazy that its been 3 years since I was watching your livestream speed runs every day😢

[@shermanbeardman]

I loved hanging out in your chat, those early runs were really a great time

[@BobBob-up8fz]

Merrin: "Where is that Kestis boy?!" Malikos: "I don't... I don't think he's coming back...."

[@SunneSol]

Glad I clicked on this. I thought this is either literally a speed run or a documentary about a speed run. Hoped for the latter and wasn’t disappointed.

[@zredbaron7162]

Honestly this is just incredible. The initial humor about Star Wars games that failed and jumping right into the informed, educated, well-thought commentary, and the suave video editing skills. This is truly a professional video, which is absolutely delightful, even for non speed runners. And that’s before getting to the meat and potatoes. What an undertaking, to find and collect so many clips, and then sort them in historical significance, all the while weaving in shoutouts to fellow Jedi. Truly inspirational content across the board. I learned a lot and smiled throughout. Thanks for making this gift and sharing it with us! 🥂

[@maak6270]

I wanna movie with jedi glitching and clipping through walls - all this to avoid stupid plot and make fans happy :) PS: I'm not saying here, that the plot in this game was stupid, I only hate recent movies :)

[@VesperOne]

Finally got enough time to sit down and watch this and holy crap, this is awesome! So much history for this game already and this did an amazing job of recounting it

[@randomguydude0674]

dude, the effort that must've gone into researching all of this stuff is insane. great video, you deserve many more subs.

[@Zmoneytrain]

Awesome video Binks! I actually learned a lot about the older run strats and routes. Super cool!

[@SocialDuck101]

I really love how you formatted this video, not only was it super entertaining but I love how officially documented it is, and it makes every new technique discovered feel like a really big event, it’s really cool. Great video, cant wait to see what Survivor will bring to the speedrunning world

[@spellxthief]

amazing video! also loved seeing every runner's lightsaber color choices haha

[@alejandrovallencci]

“Airwalking” is a real big missed opportunity for a Skywalker joke

[@hdew0479]

Great video binks! really took me down a nostalgia trip through some of my favorite obsolete tricks of the past. absolutely love that we have a video like this about our game, keep it up!

[@tohelot]

Great video, I think most of the tricks and glitches are well told and shown. That Ps5 "trick" was really surprising and good icing on the cake in my opinion for the end of the video. Keep up the good work.

[@Pnash]

Awesome video dude!

[@p1mml]

I enjoyed the video very much, it's nice that you show a graphic of the intended route in the beginning. That clarifies if for people not so familiar with the game (like me). During the video, when major skips were discovered, I thought, that it would be nice to show an updated graphic (showing what was skipped), to show the impact of the skips, because it wasn't always clear for me, just from listening to the text. Thanks for the video and keep it up.

[@ThePresidentofMars]

I love it when a video looking at the speed running journey of a game is longer than the WR

[@timothyjn100]

Awesome video Binks :) Jedi fallen order is one of my fave games and bering introduced to the speedrunning community dedicated to this game is very appreciated. Hope to see everyone reunited for jedi survivor!

[@Skux720]

I love this game but only have a passing knowledge of speedrunning, and I was enthralled for this entire video. This is a fantastic presentation of speedrunning and how new discoveries are made and optimised. Shout out to the runners discovering all these crazy glitches!

[@aKhemu]

14:00 love that you included the republic commando soundtrack

[@exolutions8510]

All i find to that is: Republic Commando (Vode an). Thank you so very much for pointing this out. Shazam wasnt a help, it sounded so strongly familiar but it wasn`t listed in the video description. No music was.

[@aaro50]

Wow very good job bro keep it up. You seem super underrated, I'm glad i got this recommended. You just earned a sub!

[@fedkaczynski8993]

This is such a good video I wasn’t expecting such a small channel, Definitely subbing

[@binksmagnus]

Thanks for the sub!

[@lifel1kespeedruns930]

Really well put together video, it sure has been a wild ride seeing this run develop over the last few years.

[@Chillgolfer9664]

While during this fast forward glitch happened in fallen order, it happened at battle front 2 as well. I only know this because during final section a Jakoo at imperial star destroyer. The character was fast forward similar to this glitch in this vid 57:02, I only saw my brother replicated in a different game and it’s also works on console as well in the Xbox as well. This was only in Iden’s story the first part of it. Sadly I have no footage but there was something it can be replicated on the Xbox in a different game.

[@ellorium]

This is absolutely insane, amazing video and great editing, research, presentation, and music choice!

[@skyper2443]

Amazing explanation/summary of the history and what makes the run! Great video

[@Beanington_18]

Great job on covering everything thoroughly and explaining it well, definitely worth the watch

[@alansmithee419]

I swear last time I looked at a speedrun of this game it was like 2:50 or smth. Maddening progress.

[@commander-fox-q7573]

Excellently made video! Found on Reddit and decided to check it out and was not dissapointed.

[@legothe7153]

liked the format dude, would watch other speedrun breakdowns!

"So cal? How long it takes you to find the holocron, and beat the Inqusition? A year? A month?" Cal: "mhh a hour." 😂😂

this video was of great help curing my inst gag reflex when ever i'd previously heard the abbreviation "tlj" so thank you for that.

[@Supermac97451]

Found that speedy cutscene glitch a few months ago, didn’t bother looking for an explanation, good to know!

[@hidd3n_]

35:36 really fitting music for what's happening on screen

[@Itswardymate]

This was such a good video so much effort would’ve gone into this

[@josetomascamposrobledano4618]

I remember watching a GDQ waiting for another game to be played, then suddenly saw Fallen Order on the queue of games. The game was relatively new by then. Decide it to watch the first few minutes… only to watch the entire run! All the “flying” and couch commentary of Star Wars fun was great! If I remember right some developers were actually in chat praising the run! Can’t wait for Jedi Survivor. This game was simply GREAT! Gotta love Souls-likes.

[@giolyn5787]

This is my favorite video

Nice video man! You really deserve more views on this!

This video absolutely kicks ass; this game's speed scene is absolutely insane, and breaking it down like this is so cool to see! Side note, I keep mishearing Pnash as Fnaf, and the concept of "Fnaf Skip" exists to me, now

Wow, I didnt know there has been a dedicated speedrun community for this game.. Impressive to see

I wouldn't like watching or even doing speedruns using glitches, but watching a good video about how those runs evolved is quite entertaining :)

[@Danie1_l]

As much as I love this game and the fact I’m not even a Star Wars fan, hearing palp talk when trying to open the door 66 times was mental

[@LegoObIWan]

That trick shot in the tomb with the ball to burn the vines on the chain is what I thought you are supposed to do when playing through the game normally I have always done that even on my first time playing the game

[@jonijk]

Interesting Video I have got an idea: You could do a monthly or annual record series where you break down the new records from different categories

[@binksmagnus]

That's an interesting idea, but the nature of the other categories makes them much less ideal for videos like that. New discoveries will impact them much less, if at all, since 100% still has to go basically everywhere and All Bosses still has to kill all the bosses.

[@jonijk]

@@binksmagnus This video helped me a lot understanding the strats of the any% category, so it would be interesting for me to even see small changes in the other categories and also understand them. But in the end it's just my opinion

[@ShadeSlayer1911]

That jump glitch was so easy and accessible that even I employed it a couple of times to 100% the game.

When the title of the video implies that I could just watch the original video of the WR speed run in less time than it would take to watch yours lol

[@manuxx3543]

Love games that still holds while being broken down and just show whats behind the curtain more and more Like bracca in dathomir

[@dylanchilders]

Wdym not so great, “Im Han Solo” is fucking legendary

[@Galiant2010]

You jabbed at the MMO, but as a poor college kid SWTOR was my main game. I had the time, not the money. And all of that cool cosmetic stuff could be traded for in game currency which I could grind for with my time. That felt better than Battlefront I to me.

[@krissybaglin9206]

I wanna remind everyone how insanely broken the infinite jump glitch was. i got the game around the update, never played it before and had even kept myself spoiler free until I had a PC that could run the game. I RANDOMLY discovered the glitch on my first ever playthrough around halfway in. THATS HOW BROKEN THE GLITCH IS. It's not some specialised speed tech people who spend ages trying to uncover and use to beat the game. It's as simple as attempting to throw an enemy whilst jumping you'd reset your double jump. And you could do this as long as you didn't use up your energy.

[@stayaway7357]

I remember watching Alexesposito speed running Fallen Order! Good times lol

[@draculactica]

i think one of my favorite things about this vid is noticing the different cosmetic mods runners are using. i lol'd when i saw cal with an inexplicable buzzcut

[@droidfilmz]

The only speed technique I ever used was a jump skip to skip the entire swap/forages section of dathmoir, mainly because I hated that area

[@jakeling7794]

I will never understand how people find and figure out all the exploits, it's honestly a superpower

[@red1monster_]

For someone with under a 1000 subs, this was a pretty good video. I recommend not leaving in footage that is uncommented

[@PirateBossFGC]

Wow... First of all, great vid man can't believe you only have 3k subs. Definitely dropping a sub. Secondly, God it's painful seeing all the actually braindead "glitches and exploits aren't speed running" comments. They're in literally every speed running video comment sections and twitch chats acting all high and mighty telling everyone about how the game should be enjoyed like God man STFU!!! Sorry for the mini rant, awesome vid regardless and can't wait to see what else you put out ;)

Weird question, I know... But can anyone tell me what the track is playing at 26:18?

That’s the tail end of “Prologue” from Republic Commando. There are other tracks on that OST that have similar vocals.

[@courperationX]

@@binksmagnus Thank you. Weirdly enough, it gives me "Small Soldiers" vibes. The PS1 game with a soundtrack by Michael Giacchino (Medal of Honor's composer). And I REALLY like that soundtrack.

[@keshified]

All these "exploits" are canon. They're able to do this because of the Force.

[@ingolf82]

43:30 this was such a bummer, he would have improved the run by 5 minutes. so here is a question. why does the timer only stop when he stabs his saber into Vader's chest and not when the final cutscene begins? It's not like there is any game play to bne done here

[@binksmagnus]

The reason the time stops when it does is because in the 1.0 release of the game the final encounter with Vader is a QTE, and the final input of the QTE was Cal stabbing Vader, so the community made the sensible decision for the final meaningful player input to be the end of the speedrun. We basically agreed that a QTE was a meaningful input, otherwise time would probably end when we opened the door. You can see the QTE input prompt in some of the footage at 39:20 Later on in a patch, Respawn added an accessibility toggle to disable QTEs. Pretty much every runner turned that toggle on, but the end point of the run stayed the same to avoid having to retime runs. There’s not really any reason for it to be that way now other than that we’d have to retime every run on the board, and if anyone ever ran 1.0 again then they’d be making inputs after the timer stopped.

[@Obradoom]

Dude, I'm sure you did this intentionally, but still I have to comment on it. Using the KOTOR soundtracks was a brilliant move! It made the whole video a lot more enjoyable!

[@binksmagnus]

It was intentional! I love KotOR and that music is incredible. A couple of the longer videos I'm brainstorming are KotOR related.

[@tehf00n]

The initial criticism of the SWTOR MTX needs context. If you didn't subscribe, you paid for MTX with money. If you did subscribe you got free coins for lootboxes often, of which, one item could potentially fund 2 more. It's the only free to play game I would say gave you more than your money's worth. And if you didn't sub for a year, then came back, they gave you all the coins you would have earned. Combined with buying a bunch of lootboxes when you take a break you end up coming back to more money than you ever need in game. Not to mention the best MTX in the game was all found. I wore the same Sith cloak from lvl20 to end game and for years beyond. It was truly a worth it game.

[@Dampe17]

Wait I actually remember seeing that sped up cutscene glitch when i was playing on my Xbox series x

[@binksmagnus]

If you can remember how it happened or have video then we’d love to talk to you about it. The JFO Speedrunning Discord can be found here discord.gg/ES8HRHbD

Great video. I really hope they make the map better for the next game, it was annoying. Got some time to get used to and it’s awful to use on Zeffo

I wonder how concept of "Speedrunning" came to life. Was it like "I must hurry up and finish this game before mother comes back home" ? :DD

[@michaelfarrell4824]

How is the final Second Sister fight the penultimate fight? Is there some bonus final boss I don't know about? Or is this a reference to Vader as the final boss?

[@binksmagnus]

Nope, just me using the wrong word in my script. I'm truly ashamed.
