[@Xem92]

It was so much fun getting to do this run for you all! Hope you enjoyed watching it as much as Skitz and I enjoyed playing it :)

[@boabyhenderson1808]

FUCK ME

[@deathfire12]

Hey Xem! I doubt you know me but I'm deathfire123, and I did the Going Commando run back in 2012 during SGDQ, was really happy you were able to do justice to this amazing game and show everyone how awesome this game is to speedrun!

[@Yo-Andy]

I'd planned to donate during the run, but decided that you weren't worth it :)

[@deathfire12]

Nah, I missed the run, was at school.

[@hellowill]

I remember that run! Knew it could be improved a lot but not many were playing ratchet back then

[@villasanteop]

9:00

[@1MoreSonicRobot]

Thank you for this.

[@anusdestroyer559]

God umung men

[@usphur3949]

The hero we deserve.

[@DreadlyKnight]

Thank you I never understood why they have like 9 minutes of other stuff when the video is about a specific speedrun lol

[@NotMattch]

Hand over at 8:22 - Countdown at 9:00

[@trevorbolick8204]

you are number one!

[@cougarpope9360]

[@floatinghamstick]

You can really see that these two are really good friends. It's really nice to see. Friendship prevails!!

[@alsoknownas875]

Love it. This was probably my favorite PS2 game, I sank hours and hours and HOURS into it.

[@reznovski3061]

Me too

[@Strange9952]

I've spent more time in virtual worlds than interacting with real human beings. No regrets either.

[@SwanChairUh]

I used to think UYA was the best of the series until I recently replayed it, the devs have said they were rushed to finish it on schedule compared to Going Commando and it shows.

[@GHOST5800000]

@@SwanChairUh still love it tho

[@The_Hoff_12]

Same here, first game I completed 100% as a kid

[@escsalad5558]

You have no idea how much effort I put into catching Xem's shirt at 40:34.

[@TCBSkitzafrenic]

I thought I'd avoid getting meme'd on at a GDQ, then I see this title lmao!

[@Xem92]

We tried our best

[@acehardstar5567]

Xem But you're better

[@AndersHoffmannn]

The time.

[@Iseenotix]

i remember discovering that 1st person glitch a few years back on my own. It completely changed the game for me, with all new areas to explore. Favorite glitch of all time.

[@acehardstar5567]

Iseenotix Not my favourite, but it's pretty great. I like all of R&C series Glitches (by the way I'm GIRDS108, check out my channel, you'll find some Glitches here that aren't shown on the entire YT, the only bad thing is that I have not enough allies) but I don't have the first parts now (threw trilogy disk from a window 2 days ago LOL as it didn't work for like a year) so by now I develop ACiT, A4O, FFA and ITN Glitches that look pretty cool, even better because of prettier graphics. I also want a new R&C game, I saw it's Glitches and they're like open-world (even better than ToD ACiT FFA and ITN ones, A4O are interesting but too pretty small to explore, worst are DL and ToD in my opinion)

[@beastewart7]

the commentary (and performance, of course) for this run was absolutely amazing. definitely one of my favs from this year.

[@JakeHennett]

As much as I love this game, I had no idea it was so broken.

[@quantumchill5237]

My favorite run from this AGDQ, both impressive and hilarious!

[@Fiddlesticks86]

I love the incredible sportsmanship between the runners at GDQ events when they do a race!!! ✌

[@YoramGig]

Best run of the marathon this year, in my opinion anyway, loved every second.

[@The_Hoff_12]

Very cool! I like how you guys are playing it side by side, makes it feel like a team environment, especially since speedrunning is usually by yourself and can be isolating

[@jaimes5716]

this game is amazing. the work put into it is insane

[@ThorHerman]

What an amazing run and commentary on an amazing game!

[@lilmacgaming7221]

Love that they accidentally put same time as Jak and Daxter run lol XD

[@LilliansAwesomeVideos]

I love this game!!!

[@rizzlebazzle5845]

so two weeks ago after giving up hope of finding my ps2 I decided to order the trilogy on PS3, and my god, the memories. I've already platinumed 2 and 3!

[@spalshie7662]

RizzleBazzle Platinuming 1 is a major pisstake though

[@peterpeladon]

@Mrspalsh1 does it require you to get that one weapon?

[@SSJvegito501]

My favorite in the series. Probably because it was the game that started with the level up stuff and got amazed by that.

[@wecameasandys]

I love this channel I love this idea I love this game I just love itcall!!! Thank you for the yours of enjoyment you have provided me with! Thus far I have watch speed runs of GTA Vice City,Pokemon Emerald,paper Mario,Mario 64,super dram world,the legand of Zelda,Mario cart,super monkey ball,mirrors egdge and lastly banjo and kazooie. I legit have loved every minute of it! I'm pumped for this run got a pre rolled blunt,bag of sour starburst and a white kit kat bar as well as an ice cold redbull..time to sink in my chair and dive back into childhood :) thanks again guys!!!

[@gwen6783]

i miss this game. damn

[@KeyRaven]

[@waluigiscapelli6098]

Sheepinator... one of my favorites.

[@Honza475]

Thank you, my friend 👍

[@Dani-gt9ho]

Nice work boys, this game is definitely on my list to run! Gonna be awesome, whats up with the time in the title btw lol? So broken :D loved the commentary

[@DaGreenMarshmello]

This is how all World Records should have to be set. Just take the Top Times and make them 1v1.

[@Ziggerath]

XEM is legit the only speed runner that know how to speak and he speaks damn well

[@timothygann9779]

"His name is fern, he's kinda here rn" 🤣🤣

[@Seanschenscher]

"uploaded 1 minute ago" f to the yes

[@Matt23488]

That was a cute little race. And here's a cute little comment :)

[@TheWuped]

This comment might be two years old but I love this comment. This is a nice comment.

[@hellowill]

I REALLY want to see an all bolts run in this or UYA at sgdq, xem/gdq plz

[@joshual.4752]

Did the shirts make out? 39:23

[@Jagerbomber]

Going Commando is the best one.

[@alsoknownas875]

Run starts at 9:00.

[@GruntyGunner]

16:25 Xem did that on purpose so Skitz could catch up to him

[@timothygann9226]

I have the black label ntsc version.. found it in my box of old ps2 games 😁😁

[@sliicc2160]

YAAAAAASSSSSSSSSS I LOVE THIS GAME FIRST GAME I EVER SPEEDRUNED I LOVE THE FIRST PIROSN YES I CANT SPELL IM TO EXCITED !!!!!!

[@jaoidbassou8301]

Théâtres matcoccde 3 bloqué killer beast of Death

[@drakodra]

so Xem did it in 29:40 and Skitz in 30:16 why does the title say 25:35 ?

[@underduckbro]

i think that might be in game time?

[@HoseMead]

It's the average

[@Vonkunken]

@@HoseMead that's not how averages work.

[@951258tike22]

could be loads and long loads being subtracted from the times

[@Jagerbomber]

And I want it delivered!

[@SaturosCombato]

Josh Russell actually it is, "and I need it delivered."

[@Freshyu_]

omg her voice is so beautiful

[@LilWayne1727]

Countdown starts at 8:59

[@reaprsxo]

If you activate the boss on snivelak and go on one of the building far left where you see the bridge you can use the charge boots and fly over to the bridge you'll skip the whole fight

[@Cats-doo]

I love that one girls voice

[@Ginsinq]

Team Beeeeeeeer

[@thoumi96]

Nice. I personally prefer glitchless runs and i did beat r&c2 in 1h51min. Not that good of a time but good enough for me

[@SerenityFeueropal]

Real game time: 29:40 for player one, and 30:15 for player two.

[@EmptyPeace]

Lol they didn't do it in 25 mins..

[@EmptyPeace]

Max Morris Xem time was 29:40 skits was 30:16 with the time save it was 29:59 he got the long load in. Without it it would of been exactly 30mins.. So xems was around 27 mins.. THEY SAY IT AT THE END just not xems real time but there's no way he somehow cut off 4 mins if the other guy got the long load and everything his time got talking off more than xems which is by 17 seconds.. They didn't beat it in 25mins it was more like 27ish. PS I'm over reactioning is probably around 28 to exactly 29 mins..

[@perkodannydude6083]

adorbs

[@phantasyryder]

Easy platinum; but that one nanotech upgrade...

[@josephbilderback4549]

wait... you can beat the entire game without saving Clank?!

[@peens]

Joseph Bilderback you can beat the game in 10 mins

[@acehardstar5567]

SnEEp Come on...

[@pymehry5584]

SnEEp and without saving clank

[@yugimuto5297]

Obnoxious Otter it's even possible in under 10 minutes

[@boabyhenderson1808]

yas xem slay

[@zuriel8958]

*destroys sheep* whole entire mech explodes. Oh how much time I have wasted on that boss

[@mansbestcomrade6315]

And it took me more than 11 hours

[@Etcetera57]

25:35 is not correct...

[@FredrIQ]

That was the timing of the run before this, that's probably where the time comes from

[@yoink1029]

Maureen Ponderossa as the host?

[@SOULMuvex]

I use the ps2 version on PCSX2 , but it works like crap because i don't have a good graphics card. ;(

[@HeliosEffect]

Whats IMG?

[@ShinyQuasarDragon]

Insomniac Museum glitch: 10:36

[@NotOrdinaryInGames]

There should be a law that states only Greatest Hits versions should ever be re-released/ported/remastered.

[@Coolman32381]

why is this game basically only run in new game +?

[@OscarLP247]

Bryan Galindo first person mode isn't unlocked until you clear the game, so for speedruns the most optimal is probably NG+ People have run it in different categories but I guess that for an event like GDQ time is also a constraint so we got NG+

[@KenjiKussano]

Is Skitz the norwegian guy?

[@KenjiKussano]

thanks

[@egghead37able]

Try to do this in regular mode! Without the challenge mode benefits

[@ARCADE_EXE]

Xem ftw

[@rezpecz]

😱😱😱😱😱😱

[@Manifibell]

Underwear trader. Genius name!

[@2mattmike]

doesnt sound like a lot at all and it's not

[@mfam5446]

Bonesaw

[@ChiminyCricket]

First :P

[@christoptheillusiveman9875]

No one enjoys a race that isn't close. Since its for charity they should at least try to make it interesting, maybe stop for a bit to taunt the other player?

[@Torpadorp]

Christop The illusive Man Xem was directing some attention toward Skitz's screen for the audience as well. He was honestly being a very good sport about it.

[@christoptheillusiveman9875]

TorpedoFTW Steve Also true, and it's still fun to watch and compare.

[@troguester]

So why do they start with all that health and all of the guns...? Maybe its just me but I dont get speed runs. I mean this can be interesting to watch, but when it comes down to it all they are doing is skipping through all the fun of the game... Like great you found a bunch of glitches that let you skip most of the game, but guess what... racing to the end of the game isnt the point of ratchet and clank

[@peens]

troguester trying to finish as fast as possible isn't the intent of any game

[@Robert-jv4hf]

troguester Speedruns should be legitimate. Skip glitches shouldn't count.

[@Veralos]

They start with all the health and guns because this is the "New Game Plus" category, which basically means they do the run on Challenge Mode using a fully completed save file. In an "Any Percent" run they would start from the beginning with a fresh save file.

[@pfitz9346]

Robertas S. That's why we have different categories.

[@pfitz9346]

Also because they need new game plus for first person mode to be unlocked which is integral to this kind of skip run. It enables the glitch they use the most.

[@ericopenscards819]

So sick of hearing "shout outs to (blank)" this dude just said "shout outs to this whole event" the fuck does that even mean

[@ericopenscards819]

but shout outs to simpleflips

[@davidcooke3610]

Could probably do arena fights faster with the plasma storm

[@Torpadorp]

After about a year and a half since this video is uploaded, there has been serious consideration of Plasma Storm for the route due to my experimenting with it in runs. Saves a bit of time on the Blade Balls on Round 3, as well as it makes Jamming less likely to have scuffed Node Grabs.
