New Minecraft Speedrun World Record Reaction

[@Couriway]

Hey everyone! I tried to make this analysis very beginner friendly and highlight of lot of different aspects of the run, let me know what you thought!

[@binkus_]

I actually learnt from this video why people build lava portals in the nether - at first I thought Zylenox pearled into the lava by accident but apparently it's to spawn inside the stronghold more consistently. Thank you for that and as always great video.

[@Couriway]

@@binkus_ youre welcome! Its a great thing to do if youre using a calculator for consistent second portal strongholds

[@binkus_]

@@Couriway Yeah, I should start implementing that into my own runs. By the way, I just find it insane how speedrunners can just come up with these absolutely big brain strats, like, I would have never come up with the kind of things I see in rsg nowadays

It’s crazy how much speedrunners can push the game’s limits. Sub 8 seemed an impossible thought when 1.16 was released! Congrats on the world record Zylenox

[@DizzyHotSauce]

I remember back when people thought sub 10 would be pushing the limits. Fucking insane

[@kielich7408]

I remember there was like 17:xx wr or something long time ago and it was called "almost ubeatable" and now its literally 10 minutes fastet thats insane

[@bekiuwu]

@@kielich7408 ahh yeah dimeax times

[@justgabiyt]

As someone who has seen Zylenox from even before he became MCSR (GD times) I can say that his reaction was the most emotion I have seen him feel all this time, all I can say is that this was a deserved WR, close to perfection

[@styxl.]

GD player here, I was tripping balls when I saw Zylenox's name in the title. Absolutely wild.

[@h1Lu]

@@styxl. SAME DUDE

[@Greum9441]

Same

[@green_cuber]

bro to see how one of the best art creators in gd's history become a top minecraft speedrunner with a world record is insane

[@greigite5191]

ive known him for about 4 years so i feel about the same, the wr tie was the first eureka for me

[@Obsurdian]

I love how awesome that is that he opened up the world after the run, it’s so wholesome

[@khiemgom]

Yeah absolutely although i think that its required

[@Frej1]

He did it in his 2nd place run aswell

[@DueySR]

@@khiemgom It's not required and I've never seen anyone else do that.

Can you tell me how he did it doesn't open to lan require you to be on same network or smthing? I am new to Java so I don't know much

[@Bassgangvt]

Zylenox is crazy good, and he was also a really good geometry dash creator and player. Dude put all his points into gaming skill. Congrats to him for the insane wr

[@actual_garbage]

dude was very good at every game he played thats something pretty god damn rare

[@joelembiid1295]

"yo we're leaving in 10 min" "hold up lemme just beat mine craft real quick"

[@JosephBurnett937]

"yo we're leaving in two weeks" "Ok, that might be enough"

[@DeMooniC]

Zylenox is special, whatever game he touches he becomes a god at it. Before MC, Zylenox was an astounding Geometry Dash level creator and a decent player, and now, he holds the freaking random seed world record for minecraft... Absolutelly insane.

[@siriusnotserious]

One of the most deserved world records ever, massive ggs to zy

[@aaaaaaa4760]

hi sirius omg

[@siriusnotserious]

@@aaaaaaa4760 hi? 😭

[@binkus_]

I really like these type of videos - your commentary as well as the notes you put in the video - I actually learnt about how lava portals are built so that you're low enough to spawn into the stronghold. Great video, great editing, and of course, great run from Zylenox.

[@binkus_]

I feel like no matter how hard something may seem, speedrunners will always find a way to achieve the impossible. And that, to me, is the beauty of speedrunning.

[@hpx374]

he earned this so hard far and away one of the most insane 1.16 runners im so proud

[@NoOrdinaryStix]

Love your live commentary, and the fact that you add notes in editing since it's not possible to talk fast enough to explain everything! Even though I know a lot, I always seem to learn something new in these world record reactions. Hope you keep doing these for future world records :)

[@Couriway]

Thank you!! Really means a lot i appreciate that

[@XBC30]

This is where the minute barriers are getting extremely tough to beat

[@cherryfruit5492]

I had this stream playing in the background with no audio, barely paying attention. Didn't even realize it was world record until I saw a bunch of people in his world. Also thanks for not turning his sub 8 Speedrun into a 30 minute breakdown, this was nice and simple

[@GuffGuffGuffy]

LEGENDARY This might be the best speedrun ever definitely monumental in speedrun history

[@binkus_]

It is the best speedrun ever. For now, at least - you never really know just how far people can go with minecraft speedrunning.

[@tornado100able]

It's mindblowing and i somehow imagine the human limit is getting close... I don't see anyone doing it all in much less than 7'30'' even being extremely lucky on every event or decision

[@bryceinnerst7963]

mike tyson's punch out speedruns are fs harder lmfao. dont say shit if you arent educated

[@claritix101]

@@tornado100able FSG sub 5 proves that it is definitely possible with tremendous amounts of luck.

[@dwoh19]

Imagine if he had more pearls and hit the 1 in 8 back dragon zero cycle for a sub 7:30 run. That would've been insane.

[@theguardsman1043]

Zylenox's movement and crafting are so brilliant. Such a mechanically gifted player and such a deserved wr

[@mellowaurora]

really great commentary couri!! i've been seeing you go the preemptive route on streams lately, thank you for explaining what to look for with that!

[@Couriway]

Youre welcome! Glad the explanation helped

[@gmunygd7899]

I’ve been a part of the gd and mc communities for a while. Crazy that he went prom putting out gd levels at such a quality unmatched by anyone to setting world records in a completely different game. Absolute god gamer

[@Superduperboy29]

He went from a popular Geometry Dash player to a world record holding Minecraft speedrunner... what a legend!

[@bloodwolf2609]

Everything in this run is insane, its like what people 1 year ago would've called a god run, hypermodern mapless treasure + ravine portal + fastion + 2 eye throw 100% ninja brain, the only thing it's missing is a 0 cycle at the dragon.

[@redtro8678]

Wow. Having followed mcsr since late 2020 (and then not so much the last months) it's just so insane to see Zylenox and others still optimize and persevere for better times and this run is so cool to see.

[@SigmAexe]

zylenox was already one of the kings of geomtry dash, and now he's entering the hall of fame of minecraft. This man is an absolute legend

[@Arisaka99]

It's insane to me that ANYONE can beat the entire game in less than 8 minutes on a random seed. The skill involved is freaking mind blowing!

[@RedbejjIsGaming]

I loved the double flint and steel by zylenox

[@taektaekman]

Run so fast Couri almost couldnt explain each bit calmly lmao Great content as always and congrats again to Zy for this amazing milestone

[@shayaansultan1103]

I learned lots of new techniques, thanks couri for explaining them for us!

[@Couriway]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mysteriousmog51]

3 years ago Sub 20 was considered good and now the community has pushed the games limits. Congrats to zylenox!

[@crimsonfire6932]

It’s about time I saw a speedrunner overlap blaze TNT with killing a blaze via the explosion. Got him a rod too.

[@willmaciejewski2078]

Yea crazy part is that if that were a blaze bed then the blaze couldn’t drop (without being hit like in the run). But since zylenox lit the tnt it counts as player inflicted damage.

[@BlueCyann]

The problem is when you have two TNT, any rods produced by the first explosion might get deleted by the second. I think that's why a lot of speedrunners I see using double TNT (happens even more often in AA) will clear out blazes first and light the tnt after.

[@DueySR]

Replying to what you said at 7:45, this run was the 3rd fastest stronghold enter at 5:50 (1st is Crookst's 5:27, 2nd is Cube's 5:54) and was the fastest end enter ever at 6:14 (2nd is Crookst's 6:27, 3rd is Feinberg's 6:35. At the time it was only the 6th sub-7 end enter.

[@Rispy]

ive watched zylenox since his good ol geometry dash days and i would have never expected that a few years later he would get such an insane world record on minecraft

[@KINGABDUL99]

He’s Internet is slowing down cuz he’s tooo fast 😂😂

[@IsntPhoenix]

Zylenox has been the one person I have been rooting for since the beginning. He used to be a very famous and insane player in a game called geometry dash, which he eventually quit. After he quit I saw him doing speedruns and saw him get 2nd and thought, "Whaaaaaaaaaaa....

[@ohypix]

Knew this was coming, was an absolutely epic record, plus the SSG wr was broken as well within the next 24 hours, which is epic. Great video Couri!

[@indugupta9629]

Zylenox deserved it truly but the day will never come when couriway gets the wr

[@noahgaming303]

I Haven't watched speedrunning in so long. I first started watching around the 13 minute and 12 minute barriers, and stopped about after the 9:36. It's so crazy how far these runners have come, but I guarantee it's going farther.
