Slay the Spire: Ironclad Any% in

[@probe1765]

Can you imagine what must've been going through The Collector's head, though? Some masked psycho bursts in, cuts himself open, flexes five times, hits him with a mace, then chops him into pieces in seconds flat.

[@snakeorbreak6258]

f l e x e s *f i v e t i m e s*

[@namelessfaerie1302]

>flexes five times Holy shit, my sides

[@ben_burnes]

Northernlion would still be on the first encounter by the end of this video.

[@MrD3eath]

Ben Burnes tru

[@hayleylloyd7792]

and he'd be down about 37 hp as well

[@doctordoctor7469]

Made me laugh. Also true.

[@ben_burnes]

To be fair, I love NL and his content; I just don't really watch it for the quality gameplay haha

[@RhapsodyPlays]

Holy freakin' hell, well done! That was amazing!

[@cbbloveseverybody8111]

Rhapsody real rhapsody woaw great content fam

[@Jam-im2wg]

I'm just sad knowing it could've been faster via a few mistakes in the beginning

[@kobe5584]

That Deca & Donu 1 turn is just freaking satisfying

[@Ylrahc33]

Can't believe anyone noticed it, but he casted ww with 9 energy and 28 strength with no way to increase neither one nor the other ... that's exactly 252 damage and they have 250 HP. Perfect deck indeed, it can't be any closer than that :D

[@ardynizunia9709]

Amazing run, Speerunners like you totally changed my playstyle. Dynamic damage decks with a fast pace are just more fun to me now than "playing it safe" with block when the game is designed to fuck you in the long run if you drag out a fight.

[@maxsuttora]

Oh yeah?! I once beat the game in under an hour!

[@PitBossReplicant]

the common record is 50 minutes so uhh... welcome to the rice fields?

[@bryankopkin6869]

How? Lmao

[@soraneptune4178]

William Pajaron wait Nani most of games only last like 30-40 mins

[@TheSlowPianist]

That's nothing. I completed a jigsaw puzzle in a single week when the box said 3-5 years.

[@FluxstyleProductions]

Offering/flex combo is REALLY strong as it seems

[@rhagtheducktle]

Holy shit you got so lucky and played so well, I'm proud

[@hobez64]

The energy that these screen shakes give is impressive

[@surny_]

absolutely insane

[@Harenko]

Surny for a second I was "what is surny doing here?" And then I got it. You are here for the spires.

[@surny_]

I love this game, of course I'm here

[@gamesharkgary7830]

Music in this game is so beautiful.

[@Harphly]

This is insane. I can't imagine this will be beaten any time soon.

[@Aldrahill]

Damn man, that was incredible to watch!

[@maxwuup2152]

incredibly lucky and well done man

[@mezlolx]

Also a tip for ppl i hotkey my ESC to Q. It helps alot and youi can close shops, cancel card selection with it to.

[@bluethundermonkey]

Wow what a crazy good run

[@MooSaysTh3Cow]

WTF.... I can't wait to see how someone can possibly beat this.

[@Synthonym]

That final boss fight :O

[@MrAwesomeSauceFilms]

Congrats on the first sub 6min arbiter!

[@ForgottenArbiter]

Thanks!

[@hymness1]

That was... Impressive? GOOD JOB MAN

[@PeterDivine]

Holy hell, swapping out burning blood and getting SOZU at Turn 0? That's some twenty-leaf clover luck right there even without the early Whirlwind or card removals.

[@gameryon8400]

Jesus christ. A month ago the WR was in 11 minutes. Dayum this got so far so quick

[@strikex123]

It is impressive, but I still think that not having everything unlocked-records should be a category in itself, because it gives you such a big advantedge over those who has everything unlocked. (Granted I don't know if "any%" is said category)

[@miklosmagyar2556]

any% means you can use in-game glitches and stuff, just no external software

[@caracatoacacepe]

This definitely fits under any% Also it basically means picking up the game for the first time ever and beating it as fast as possible, it seriously can't get more any% than that. In fact, if you were to play with all unlocks, that category should be the one called 100%

[@seamuschaos]

caracatoacacepe 100% would be getting all unlocks and achievements in the run (start with nothing)

[@caracatoacacepe]

That's literally impossible

[@IronicHavoc]

caracatoacacepe It would be multiple runs.

[@jankremer4173]

How the hell. Dude you are amazing

[@lewisupton1907]

very impressive. Well done.

[@TheYUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM]

Wow everything went in your favor, thats insane

[@ZeroSleap]

Wow man well done!

[@yujirohanma7551]

dude its crazy

[@mathers000]

0 necronomicons needed

[@mindscapejem]

Necronomicon? What a waste of time!

[@caracatoacacepe]

But the lucky bastard got Tiny House, how can you compete with that??!?!

[@mysticjuicer01]

Completely nuts. XD gg!

[@hershey9399]

Former?! Holy shit dude

[@siul0086]

Wow i think you got the record back, rofl

[@dylanlarson5018]

Actually GOAT

[@SPIDERRED9000]

he doesnt have all the relics unlocked so he has a higher chance of getting pennib which helped a lot on rng

[@Sad_Mercy]

That Warpaint though...

[@NickMaovich]

This dude is flexing too much amirite boiz

[@shengeki164]

Gg incredible game

[@darksul2]

well done

[@luckybones8749]

I dont think it should count if you do not have all of the content unlocked. its like a binding of issac speed run with out all factors taking place

[@anandhilakshmanen4808]

Nice dude!

[@Pumbear]

Why not try to get a "second wind" to exhaust your defends while you actively remove your strikes at shops? If you then ever happen to not draw a whirlwind on a turn, you can just exhaust all your defenses with second wind, making sure you have whirlwind on all other turns.

[@nicolasarayabain4343]

So is like reseting ur game a strat? less unlocks = better speedrunning??

[@Theray0evan]

yes it is, because you can pull a winning combo more often, where with unlocks you have more cards cluttering the card pool

[@macerX100]

beast

[@Lapkap]

So you can run the game without the unlocks? Do you have a savestate seting your game at a specific point to optimize the run? I'm not implying it's against the rules (i follow games that are ran on downpatched games versions like BL2), just getting some general knowledge.

[@elmercardenas8880]

That's a lot of damage

[@maeditty4781]

And jorbs says whirlwind is bad.....

[@meromero6284]

poor antiflame.. he just beat it the other day xD

[@vasilijeprvulovic8851]

This record wont be beaten for a long time

[@kumquatmagoo]

Yup, that deck list was disgusting by the end.

[@Twiixq]

perfect deck, no ?

[@samuelhide262]

"really long time"

[@vasilijeprvulovic8851]

Guess I was wrong lol

[@vackrakristaller]

Holy shit

[@MasterPoulpe]

gg

[@linleo5224]

wow, so fast man

[@szigetiandras7317]

you've beaten with 1 sec xDDD by ant_flame

[@Jerry-zf3ip]

Sheesh. Not even the marbles or girya.

[@anggarioe.k7820]

get the wr back

[@Michael-cx9yh]

Wow

[@Jam-im2wg]

Should this be considered a world record since not all of the cards and relics were unlocked meaning that it was a slightly more controlled outcome with less garbage in the way?

[@Softwalli]

WOW

[@fatherknox8014]

man and i thought i was good..

[@dubliostower]

It looks sped up, I've never seen the cards get drawn that fast...

[@Veradux96]

There is a setting called "fast mode" which you can enable in the settings, made specifically for speedrunners

[@dubliostower]

Veradux96 oh, thanks!

[@Amenumenemana8]

Holy

[@Edumahcation]

Too fast I couldn’t even pack a bowl in enough time

[@наблюдательтотсамый]

You cool man

[@kralkralovsky8416]

if you were faster with the cards choosing and stuff i believe you could cut down that time by 1 minute or more but good

[@XWurstbrotX]

Why does it say 5:38 in the video, but 5:32 in your title?

[@RKBock]

because the timer is click based. meaning: he has to click a button for it to stop. after the run, he has to look at the exact moment that he loses control over the game, which here is probably 5:32. (i haven't checked)

[@blazerchocobo]

In game timer, right above his own.

[@OrkanKurter]

every WR gets offering and whirlwind. i rarely see either of them. and never in the same run. Any% is a joke rly.

[@botbatan]

welp

[@GoldbondPowder]

Doesn't Count. Need to unlock everything first. Smaller card pool + Artifact pool changes the rng. Still crazy fast though.

[@IronicHavoc]

GoldbondPowder There's no stipulation in any% against it. They'll either change the rules, make a new category, or other players will start doing this.

[@Fr0zenEagle]

Doesn't have evetything unlocked - still smashes world record. That seems damn impressive. Well done!

[@lucaspoppel4848]

I think that might be on purpose...maybe having fewer unlocked relics & cards in the potential pool makes you more likely to get Whirlwind, Flex, etc.?

[@jourmungar7088]

Fr0zenEagle thats the point, if you have all cards unlocked then you have a lower chance of getting certain more important cards like whirlwind, flex or offering, so he buys a new account and tries on that because he has higher chances of getting those cards

[@Fr0zenEagle]

It was a joke, just so you know. There's no way anyone with that little experience in a game can casually destroy the previous world record after already having had the world record at least once. Though I don't think he actually purchases a new account, as there's probably a way to remove your local/steam cloud save file to reset your progress. As I understand it, the only stat you can't reset is your total Heart damage, as it's a global stat bound in the game through Steam.

[@romainfouchier8183]

You can find a file "UnlockProgress" in the game's folder that contains in plain text the Unlocks you've... unlocked with each class.

[@patrast5315]

you don't have to rebuy the game you can just delete your previous data via Steam

[@НикитаЛубин]

what

[@helshabini]

Holy hell that was insane. Why the True Grit though?

[@apawow2]

Right after you select the ironclad, what looks lika a splice happens, you mouse teleports and what looks like the map fades into the background. Tho i dont know much about the game, could just be so sort of glitch or something. Looks fishy either way

[@RiskOfBaer]

Could be, but there's literally zero reason to splice it in that spot. So I doubt it. Anyway, splicing Slay The Spire would be incredibly hard, maybe even harder than getting a legit run. You'd have to have three different runs, with identical decks, relics, gold, health, etc. So many things have to align that depend on the RNG that it should be virtually impossible to impossible to splice three best segments together, unless you magically aligned all these factors. The only thing I could think of would be using cheating software to "fix" the segments so they look like they would be from the same run, but I have no idea if that's possible and even then it would still require a lot of effort.

[@apawow2]

DaBa Im not saying that the whole run is spliced, just that the first part of it is kinda weird. Also, you can replay fights if you save and quit during it (if they didnt fix it), this could probably be used to splice runs

[@ForgottenArbiter]

If you look at almost any run of Slay the Spire, you'll see the same thing. The game doesn't do a graphical update while the first level is being loaded, which causes the mouse to teleport to the new position if you move it. The in-game timer is connected to the graphical updates too, so it also doesn't increment during the level load.

[@IncDoge]

apawow2 the real question is why would he splice the run before it starts?

[@apawow2]

Yea, tried it on my own, does the lag in the beginning aswell, just that I haven't noticed it before, cheers

[@urpwnned]

What the fuck

[@chitbu24]

Word record ? Shit

[@Bannes95]

it says u got 5 38 not 5 32

[@CatComet]

josh morris look at the game time not the timer

[@CardsLafter]

Ridiculous.

[@MrD3eath]

Wtf

[@TurnOneYeti]

Disgusting.

[@jakobendres3771]

Disgusting

[@OPolminituiO]

Cracked version? Only 1000 damage at the end? Modified version probably, seems way too easy and obvious... Something feels wrong about this "record"

[@valeforedark]

These save file runs are a joke.one extra energy off the bat... Then block whenever you don't have any.try actual speed running 100% complete /currently completed file. Then I'd be impressed .anyone could run these save files n click fast. Also for a game that revolves round random items you are cutting the random aspect out by using someone's old save.

[@Lapkap]

??? Are you implying this run is seeded? I think you can calm down already this isnt the case.

[@valeforedark]

Lapkap think you find it is. You can find the file for this run online.they all do it. Unless you see them show the properties of the save /load state file on any game you can almost be 100% certain its seeded. Hence why they don't show it. Just makes me laugh that people like yourself get kidded into believing all these runs are legit. Then you get salty cause someone's called out something on one of your favorite speed left clickers vids.

[@dubaz2989]

Fake. I don't wanna to type so many things, just watch carefully between the fights.

[@nataliacheveleva5113]

What's wrong?

[@Meatchop]

It's on fast mode

[@creamargument]

Ironchad 😎

[@SpaceOdyssey-eu5si]

Wow
