Nightfire's Biggest Time Save Has Just Been Found

[@xVisuaLxEffects]

I was unaware of Nightfire speedrunning and this channel. Both criminally underrated.

[@Callmeliam]

finding deep descent skip caused literal ape mode

[@FUBBA]

Thanks for showing me last night this is awesome news

[@Callmeliam]

@@FUBBA absolute banger vid by Fitter the TASGOAT

[@eyelesscrown7346]

Awesome video man! Documents this perfectly. Very well written too. I would love to see more of these types of videos :D

[@gamerfreak5665]

WOW that is insane. It's been a while since I've kept up to date on Nightfire or any speedrunning stuff in general, but I just love seeing new simple yet game changing discoveries like this. Nice video man!

[@FitterSpace]

Thank you! It's good to see you're still around.

[@Callmeliam]

@gamerfreak5665 i used to love your early melee tas vids, was super awesome to see you tasing nightfire

[@kenb2957]

There was a recent MGS skip that a casual streamer discovered I recall.

[@MeekahGaming]

Saying MGS like anyone's going to understand what that means

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

I think I speak for everyone who runs this game when I say THANK GOD we have a reliable skip for this level.

[@OfficialGlitchDoctor]

It's insane how newcomers just find stuff like this. In Luigi's Mansion, my friend who doesn't even run the game accidentally stumbled upon a strat, which would be used to one cycle the first boss in the game, Chauncey. That night was insane. Easy 33 seconds saved.

[@FitterSpace]

Nice! I remember watching FireDragon and Veman speedrun that game a while back. Veman also ran this game for a little while.

[@OfficialGlitchDoctor]

@@FitterSpaceYeah I was around in calls with Veman back in the day when he was doing this. Dude brought the smoothest moves I'd ever seen. Fifi (FireDragon) is still around and occasionally does speedruns, but moreso stuff like Apex Legends now.

[@minzy421]

Most major glitches are found by casuals. Anothet example i can give you is few years ago there was streamer playing Metal Gear Solid 1, theres one section of game where you have to exit the building which takes around 3mins. What happened was that she was trapped near a door cuz there were loads of enemies, when she got shot, it pushed her into the door then loaded her outside of the building. That strat saved 3mins

[@samaran8063]

The skip is called Boba Skip, Boba being the streamer's name

[@kwsx11]

Awesome video! Speed run lore is always super interesting. More videos like this are always welcome!

[@aleckermit]

Definitely your best video to date, excited to see more of this quality and energy from you. The Metal Gear Solid door clip found by a casual streamer was similar to this find.

[@FitterSpace]

Thanks! Your videos are a big inspiration for me. I want to do for Nightfire what you've done for Agent Under Fire.

[@Mr_Shasta]

This is so dang sick! Love when stuff that skips the slowest, most tedious parts of levels in any run are found! Good video btw! Also a casual player found Hinox Warping in Link's Awakening 2019, to give you an example. The community made it consistent, but that glitch was initially posted on /r/speedrun randomly a couple months after the game came out lol

[@srmiojao6674]

this game is so nostalgic bro, I miss it so much :(

[@Jaggybabs]

Great video, Crazy how simple the skip turned out to be

[@shouldershot]

Completely bonkers to this day.

[@daikoophasianidae]

yeah, i found fence skip in singularity, saves about 30 seconds, no one else was using it, and im looking into other out of bounds possible in vanilla, i was always a bit scared of doing full runs cause i cant pull off the biggest skip

[@hitkid96fan]

Hmm, I know a casual-found speedrun trick already. Boba Skip in Metal Gear Solid.

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

Yeah, that was the biggest example of that recently, getting picked up by every gaming news outlet on the planet.

[@FitterSpace]

I think I've seen some articles written about that one. I love hearing that stuff because it feels like I'm rooting for the underdog: the unknown player that changes the game.

[@TheBlazingmo6]

Callmeliam and Verif: We found a new OoB!!! It's very precise though. Casual Player, ZupaTr00pa: Hey, you looking for something like this? Anyways? This means a new Nightfire TAS?

[@FitterSpace]

One day, definitely. I considered making one when the old OoB was found, but I didn’t end up doing it. As far as TAS goes, I need to finish the GoldenEye Wii TAS, then I want to update the Agent Under Fire TAS. Nightfire may be after that.

[@illuminatedtiger]

Another example: The advice "Keep your head down" was taken quite literally by a new Goldeneye speed runner who started getting better times through better framerates.

[@007spudman]

Even if you do the out of bounds trick what about the stuff you have to do in bounds such as the disarming nukes battling the boss submarine can you just skip all this and simply drive right to the end and it counts?

[@FitterSpace]

The only objective that's technically required is the one at the very end where you have to place the mines on the submarines, right before the boss fight. Everything else is just there to get you to that point.

[@WhiskeyInDixie]

DUDE WHAT

[@ded_lej]

that's sick but it's sad that it's not called zupa clip or something

[@ZupaTr00pa]

I wanted to find this for the awesome community. I really don't mind what it's called - I'm just happy that everybody who likes speedrunning and watching it gets something fresh to work with!

[@ded_lej]

@@ZupaTr00pa that's fine but zupa clip is still more fun to say

[@CosmicX]

This is a skip of all time. Cant wait to see this used in an any% run
