nice ur the Glackum in the video i think

[@montanac223344]

Just wanted to let you know that this is my favorite speedrun of AGDQ ever. I only played this game as a kid but you and Spike were funny, skilled, and explained everything well

[@loltheworld]

You are based for picking this punishing ass game to speedrun. Thank you for your runs.

[@MoundN]

An amazing run overall. The commentary from spikevegeta was so good, I knew what glackum did every second thanks to his insanely accurate commentary. Loved it.

[@Felipera_]

Spike is a great commentator, I love it when he shows up in runs.

[@MoundN]

Felipe Pereira Yea I also watched the speedrun race of donkey kong country 2 in which he was also one of the commentators and I was just as pleased as with this commentary.

When I was a kid the music in Rayman was absolutely an awakening. And the musical note levels blew my mind. I was completely caught up in the magic that was this game.

[@DubbingLevy]

I literally watched this entire thing to see whether they'd do the ENTIRE GAME including Mr. Dark in this speedrun because I didn't think it possible. I used to spend 90 minutes on a single level like frigging Bongo Hills back in the day and in the PC version I never made it through Eat at Joe's (1:26:00 once caused my monitor to go dead too, good times). I've only ever managed to beat Rayman 1 on the Gameboy Advance Version which was considerably easier because the invisible triggers are no longer invisible and have tiny glittering cues. I did not thing it was possible to play this game in less than even 2 hours. Good job guys xDD

[@NezumiVA]

This was such a fun run to watch, damn. Extremely well performed and a great commentary from the couch, very entertaining.

[@ltxr9973]

A speedrun of this game blows my mind. I didn't even get all the cages to get to the last world as a child, and I played it for years. Might as well revisit it.

[@chrisosullyo91]

Not to be pedantic, but seeing as you have to save all the Elections in order to face Mr Dark and beat the game, wouldn't every Rayman run technically be a 100% run?

[@Glackum]

Yes you need to 100% the game to beat it at all. Hence any%.

[@tristancarron3735]

Well, 100% is Sax%. In any% you don't kill Mr Sax.

[@Imaltont]

Sax% is just beating mr. sax, not completing the game. 100% is the same as any% for this game unless we find some bug one day it would probably be split into two categories.

[@tristancarron3735]

Imaltont Huh, you're right, there is no category where you kill Mr Sax other than 'Beat Mr Sax'.

[@TomWGuitar]

@@Imaltont The any% run could be argued to be different from 100% if you view beating Mr. Sax as a requirement though I guess.

[@magnusm4]

@mamuburaa In difficulty Cuphead is tutorial mode compared to the bullshit levels of precise you had to be here. This is god reflex required when playing, no wind up, small platforms and things popping in out of nowhere and attacking you and you don't have spontaneous movement it's intentionally delayed for certain actions

[@ChiefJudge]

@mamuburaa There is no nostalgia. Thats a fact, cuphead cant touch this.

[@Cosplaybuddygiraffes]

RIP Froot Loop Boosting... best strat name will be missed. Great run though!! Love seeing Rayman 1 runs!

[@Glackum]

Fruit loop boosting is just spike's term for speed locking. I don't call it that since speed locking applies to more than just the rings.

[@Cosplaybuddygiraffes]

Bomber Man Fair, fair. As someone that does not run this game, I just have a fondness for silly/humorous strategy names. Speed locking does explain itself in retrospect

[@Glackum]

Well if it makes you feel better, the term for skipping all the pencil cycles after the set of 5 yin yang balls in pencil pentathlon 2 is called pantsless because that is how some of us pronounced penciless when we tried to say it fast.

[@kracked7637]

Looking back I have to be pleased with my former self for beating all the levels except the final one as a kid. There was no way I was finding all of the cages

[@Meckmester]

I played this game as a kid, a lot, and I think I got ptsd from it. For some reason every time I see rayman I get this feeling that something is very wrong and that I'm in danger.

[@AlSmoothikins]

I kinda feel you on this, but Rayman gives me a sorta "safe anxiety" feeling- like how a steven king novel (or any horror media) that you remember can give you a safe terror/paranoid feeling. It's like, you remember how it made you feel to experience it, but you know it wasn't real. But still, it gives you this weird, unsettling vibe. Rayman will always give me that weird, disjointed feeling, but I think it's because I respect the game. Not just admire it, or love it, or fear it, but a combination of all three of those feelings- the game makes you respect it because of how damned difficult it is, despite its "soft and harmless" appearance. It draws you in, makes you say, "hey, this ain't so bad, just another simple platformer," then dials it to 11 and freakin' spanks you for not giving it its due respect.

[@Casowsky]

I totally get both these comments, I've never been able to put it into words until just now. Crash bandicoot, spyro the dragon and rayman were the first 3 games my parents got me with my first console THE MIGHTY PS1 and man, those were some good times.

[@thepiratedoggo1996]

Amazing game and soundtrack

[@TheEruptionOffer]

Sick, sick run. But I still don’t understand Why he has to face Mr. Scops instead of death abusing when he got all the sic cages?

[@FifoF]

it’s because there’s no sign to get back to the world map on the beginning of Mr. Skops’ Stalactites also, as far as I know you’d still have to finish the level otherwise it wouldn’t let you access Mr. Dark’s Dare since the game doesn’t register Mr. Skops’ Stalactites as completed if you death-abuse

[@Glackum]

No return sign back out of the level on Eat at Joe’s or Mr Skops Stalactites on PS1. Only PC & its ports have this.

[@Glackum]

Fifo F. Nah PC has a return sign and you don’t need to fight skops.

[@FifoF]

ah, yeah that makes sense - if I understood correctly the game only tracks the number of cages collected and not actual level completion

[@doctorx0079]

I first started playing Rayman when I read the postmortem of Rayman Advance. They said they had to make it easier for the Game Boy Advance. I said, how hard is the original game anyway? I saw it at the grocery store for $10 so I picked it up. It is super hard! But I love it.

[@L3thalShad0ws7]

I'm learning to Speedrun it ATM, but sadly I'll never be at GDQ. Also I don't upload Videos since I'm doing it for me and for fun. But I have to hardly agree with you, that Rayman 2 needs to be at GDQ someday. The 2D ones are still a lot of fun tho ;)
