The Quest to Beat Portal Glitchless in Under 15 Minutes

[@Shizzal]

Great video. Glitchless has gotten so optimized that it would require the initialization of a 12D ping pong game to best the current world record...

Speedrunning is one of those rare communities where I can trust an active participant to present an objective and unbiased video.

[@angelinahilton1234]

I’ve never heard it put into words, but those are exactly the right ones

[@bounderby99]

Depends on the community. There’s some games where there is so much controversy and drama that it might as well be reality TV

[@misalignedmisanthropist]

SummoningSalt whenever he covers a MTPO speedrun video

[@paualamar]

I really like how you talk respectfully about people who were (are?) effectively your competition, and be that for the sake of informing objectively or born out of true sportsmanship THIS should be the norm, not the exception. I guess I’m too used to regular sports/sports media where they belittle each other and all that toxic stuff.

[@jamesorendorff2284]

I think the greatest thing about the speedrunning community is that even though it is an incredibly competitive environment, speedrunners are generally very supportive of each other, rather than being enemies.

[@Seraphim262]

@@jamesorendorff2284 Yeah, sadly there are still people who hoard their world records, play as a team under one name or just simply cheat. Nonetheless a positive community.

I legit got my first sub 20 yesterday, nothing like a Msushi vid to say "Oh, you thought you were good?"

[@EvanBear]

You know us non-speedrunning people beat the game within 2-4 hours at least, right? Sub 20 is fucking amazing dude.

[@hellothere2808]

Congrats, I think with practice, sub 50 is quite good for the average person, so sub 20 is blummin amazing. You are actually really close to world record, in the grand scheme of things, you really can do it, keep us updated on future PBs and soon, you'll be in one of this guy's future videos!

[@mozarteanchaos]

well, you're within five minutes! that's relatively close, all things considered

[@hansonkerman7286]

“I’m a least portals runner” is code for “I can’t bunnyhop” - Me, a least portals runner. Speedrunning is hard. :(

[@skylark.kraken]

Sub 20 is still inhumanly fast, incredible skill

[@saucevc8353]

Imagine how glados feels seeing chell rapidly move through every chamber at the speed of sound, escape her murder attempt in milliseconds, then proceed to barrel towards her with murderous intent...

[@Fieldsandfurrets]

One of my favorite things about the video is the subtle matching of the clips to the music, it really brought my hype up while watching

[@psionick5106]

10:37 You see, you would never understand the language of a God, but I can translate it for you. 11 dimensions is the highest dimension according to string theory, meaning that Shizzal is playing the game at a level humans could never understand. Even this, though, is not enough for our lord Shizzal, and he is ready to activate his Dark state; a state of ascension.

[@XnonXte]

Although this category is the most newbie friendly category which often recommended for new runner to learn, this is by far the hardest one in the game if not the hardest, because you are forbidden to use any glitches whatsoever, in fact the use of glitches is making the game easier, also this category is the longest pace in the game and every mistake even micro mistake is unforgiving.

[@the_sidious]

gonna point out that oob was easily the hardest before omelette skip was found, when Can't Even's 6:16 was world record.

Thank you for making this video, always loved portal but never tried speed running it, this is nuts. Best to hear it from one of the top runners.

Would've been fun if glitchless won in time just because more talented people compete there.

[@TheAdvertisement]

@@Itoyokofan I mean that really wouldn't make sense though.

[@smallmailman3992]

Honestly, I think the runners who do hard glitches no matter how little time the save almost always end up being the legends of their categories. A few reasons really, including the massive dedication they need and the fact that they end up actually getting good at those inconsistend gltiches.
