Sammyclassicsonicfan runs SM64? What a twist

[@kyrette1666]

Why does everyone think I'm sammyclassicsonicfan? Lol

[@vaultdweller94]

Frickin' fricks, all of them

[@Booskop.]

I was more surprised seeing Jack Black playing Half-Life tbh Kappa

[@Callmeliam]

Literally everyone says that about me rofl

[@TheGeladoo]

Kyret64 The voice is really *freaking* similar

[@colemanslawski6600]

Only kyret64 had an actual softlock

[@Noxedwin]

0:47 - That word does not mean what you think it means. Softlock is where the game _hasn't_ frozen, but refuses to progress, where the script halts and, generally, you're just sort of trapped in whatever room you're in. *That* is just a good old-fashioned crash.

[@Callmeliam]

Noxedwin hardlock actually

[@chriscos123]

Or hang

[@frak7190]

0:40 I hope Jack Black is making a name for himself in speedrunning

[@Callmeliam]

Yes i am

[@TrouserSnivy]

And here we have Simpleflips as a young child. Even then he was finding ways to softlock every day

[@loruapollo6634]

2:06 At least someone got good luck in this video lol

[@holycowrap]

most of those were freezes, not softlocks lol

[@aaronhess7635]

Gonna be that guy.... There is only like 2 softlocks in this video. The rest are hangs or just crashes

[@ThaRixer]

Nooo not Hdot. I was so heartbroken

[@bleb5518]

Sammyclassicmariospeedrunner

[@Robciomixxnfs]

I love it how certain games just fuck up sometimes themselves, without any user fault. It's just priceless to see somebody so close to achieve a world record and then the game is just softlocking, because fuck you, that's why.

[@nict4343]

HELL YEAH I'M READY FOR A NEW SPEEDRUN MARATHON

[@oussama7132]

Softlocks are the number 1 enemy of speedrunners

[@marceljones7940]

what happrened with the re2 run?

[@legionbeast]

The game half crashed during the outro and seemed to be frozen, only for it to skip everything and go straight to the results screen.

[@JuliusUnique]

3:07 at least he could still listen to one of the best soundtracks ingame xd

[@sillyjobbernowl]

Also why is Jack Black in the 2nd clip.

[@Callmeliam]

Jobbernowl LMAO thanks for the compliment that everyone says

[@ryanwilbur3554]

TurboLiamo looks like a British Jack Black

[@Driff97]

Kyret64, despite all the yelling, has a cute voice.

[@kyrette1666]

Thanks.

[@kyrette1666]

Ness in Pajamas And it sucks because I hate my own voice. I listen to it when editing, and it just sounds like the most obnoxious thing ever. Yet people will still talk to me on the Internet. IRL they find me annoying (which makes sense to me).

[@DiskoSpider]

We overuse the term softlock in the speedrun community. I actually sent him my clip (the San Andreas one) saying it would be good for a softlock compilation and then immediately realized it was the wrong term.

[@UenoLocker54]

I'm gonna go watch some of that Digimon World 3.

[@Mampfie]

Bonesaw also banned from Oceanside ?

[@joeshittheragman6252]

My insane pace

[@sillyjobbernowl]

Weekly, LUL.

[@DiskoSpider]

Being that I am a GTA:SA runner I am really curious to know if you can tell me what Josh is playing at Oceanside

[@terrordarky]

what even happened in the brawl clip

[@mile_man]

is that sammyclassicsonicfan?

[@kyrette1666]

Mile Man Maybe....? Idk.

[@RinLockhart]

stress vape

[@sveinerlingbjerkestrand2458]

What is a softlock?

[@julian1000]

The game keeps running but no progress can be made. Like the clip where Mario gets infinitely stuck in that little corner. A hardlock is the game actually crashing, like the Half Life clip where everything just freezes.

[@elias5429]

1:33 Lol 1:55 for 16 star? Did he fall asleep during the run?

[@IlConteSky]

Why is JackBlack doing speedruns though

[@Callmeliam]

IlConteSky - SimRacing Content because i can boi

[@kidwithucamera]

At 1:25 is that Sammyclassicsonicfan

[@xianlucax9343]

1:33 2 hours for 16 star?

[@poorsoul8492]

what is softlock?

[@origamiscienceguy6658]

when you get yourself in a position where progression is impossible, but the game is still working as intended. The half-life one was not a softlock, because the game broke. However, the annoying kid on mario 64 did softlock the game.

[@michaelcollins4534]

The second guy looks like Jack Black

[@Callmeliam]

Reaper Kenji lmao everyone says that about me

[@quincy9868]

Reaper Kenji i was about to say

[@Callmeliam]

Reaper Kenji Fucking literally every comment about my clip is this lmao

[@kyrette1666]

turb0liam0 Don't worry. It's the same for me. I think there's only one comment that doesn't call me SCSF

[@michaelcollins4534]

turb0liam0 I'm sorry

[@trviis]

1:40 he took 2 hours for a 16 star what?

[@HobbsCedric1]

Why does everyone run japanese versions of nintendo games

[@2prowamf]

These hard/soft lock are aids!!

[@WWEdeadman]

That second one isn't a softlock, that's the game freezing... So is the 3rd A softlock by definition is the game still technically running fine, but you're unable to make any progress. Like the 4th video.

[@infernon]

These are just highlights, not specifically softlocks.

[@DiskoSpider]

WWEdeadman yea my fault in the San Andreas one. I actually messages him that it would be good for a softlock compilation and like immediately realized it was the wrong word. We just overuse that term in the speedrun community.

[@Callmeliam]

WWEdeadman well that would mean it's a hardlock, i just wasn't aware of that definition when i was running it

[@WWEdeadman]

Infernon Well, at least the second runner called it a softlock, when it wasn't.

[@Callmeliam]

i am the second runner lol, as i said, i didn't know the term, hardlock while that happened so yeah

[@popcorny007]

Non TAS half life is disgusting >:(

[@TheShangryLlamas]

Most of these are hard locks, not soft locks. Soft locks are only when nothing freezes, you just simply cannot progress in the level/run. The Mario 64 one with the kid screaming was the only actual soft lock.

[@kyrette1666]

The Shangry Llamas Your lucky Apollo decided to decrease the decibels. It was WAY louder beforehand.

[@Alolan.Vulpix.Getting.Railed]

13th

[@SimonVertigo]

FIRST

[@kirideairby]

Do you even know what a softlock is? A softlock is when someone reaches a point in a game where it is impossible to proceed without a reset, 90% of these were just glitches or crashes...

[@Lovuschka]

Grammar nazi here. Most of these aren't softlocks. First clip the game worked normally afterwards. That Half-Life thing isn't a softlock, it's a hang. And so on. On a softlock the game still works normally, but you can't progress anymore. Such as when Mario got stuck falling at the boxes. Or when a cutscene would never end. And so on.

[@guy_th18]

This video isn't softlock-only. The title says "Softlock Galore" because there are a few softlocks and hangs, but it's just a title, and isn't reflective of all that's in the video. Say if it was "Top 10 softlocks in speedrunning", then yeah that would be bad.

[@Lovuschka]

Well, I enjoyed the video anyway and gave a thumbs up. And in the end that is what counts.

[@coachmcguirk6297]

Lovuschka being a grammar nazi crashes paper mario

[@TrustTheFund]

Ze uneducated masses comes to defend ze slip of ze tongue?! Ziegler, ready ze artillery!

[@coachmcguirk6297]

Art Vandelay just a regular nazi here. you guys are taking our oh so honorable name and dragging them through the dirt!
