@30 Cents, it’s been years since I played that game, but if I remember right, it seemed difficult to learn every single attack for each character and I’m pretty sure I missed a few. How did you manage?

[@30cents]

@@keithtorgersen9664 Not really no. We know the combinations already so it's easy, but it takes a loooong time to learn all of them in 100%

[@TimepieceMaster]

Though it wasn't allowed on the leaderboards due to the fact that nobody is likely to try to best it, the longest single-segment speedrun is actually Animal Crossing New Leaf 100% by Coldeggman, with a time of 638:27:29. Though a substantial part of that time was due to the fact that time spent sleeping was counted in the final time, it still took ~322 hours of actual gameplay to 100% the game. And Coldeggman pretty much played the game with as few breaks as is reasonably possible for something that takes a month IRL to complete, as he played roughly 12 hours on most days of the run. The only runs longer than that that I have seen, are ones that are like Baten Kaitos in which the run is only so long because it requires waiting a substantial amount of time IRL for things to happen, such as Animal Crossing New Horizons Golden Fishing Rod no time travel, which IMO that one really doesn't count since it's just essentially playing the game casually but with a timer running in the background for close to a year.

[@icecreamget]

I tried 100%ing New Horizons when it came out - after a month of constant play and only having half of the items, I had to quit and haven't touched it since.

[@chrism45]

Idk there's some real gamers out there. Alfie an oldschoool runescape streamer played 2683 hours in 152 days to max first in a new gamemode. That's 17 hours 39 minutes on average for 5 months straight, most of it on stream.

[@TimepieceMaster]

@@chrism45 Figures it'd be a RuneScape player lol!

[@jebi-sensei497]

What’s even crazier to me is that Coldeggman actually did two 100% speed runs of the game, the second entirely offline which used multiple 3DS systems and games simultaneously (in multiple languages!) to constantly refresh shop RNG etc while using other games to grind badge goals like visiting towns over and over. It’s a super impressive run!

[@alicepow260]

[@Kirabetas]

I still think the most fascinating speedrun that we never got was the Final Fantasy XI 100% achievements discussion for the Xbox 360. The PC version doesn't have achievements, and the Xbox 360 version was shut down years ago. It was a 57 achievement run that had ludicrous requirements, such as getting every class to Level 75, achieving a Rank 100 in synthesis or fishing, completing all missions , and clearing various PVP challenges. People discovered ways to farm a few out, but speedrunners still figured the run would take months. Not weeks, months! Some wanted to try for it assuming they could just keep track of what they normally would be unlocking, but the task was far too daunting. Xbox360Achievements even listed the run would take anywhere from 6 months to over 2 years. Granted, speedrunners would be closer to the months category, but can you imagine said run actually existing?!

[@EresirThe1st]

This could be revived with private servers. The achievements wouldn’t actually pop but you could do the requirements.

[@Kirabetas]

@@EresirThe1st They actually did still consider it, using a stream overlay to show any time one would have normally popped, but interest started to wane over time. I don't know what it's current status is, and it's a shame, as that would definitely be a record breaking run.

[@TheOnlyGhxst]

[@Kirabetas]

@@TheOnlyGhxst Not only do I not own the game, but contrary to popular belief, I lack the ability to stay awake for a month or two straight! In all seriousness, I don't know whether they decided that the best option would be to have a team that changed shifts to complete it, or allow a person to take intermittent breaks in order to rest. I never played FFXI, as MMO's always have a problem of holding my attention to keep playing, and I didn't want to spend on another monthly subscription. I only ever watched videos and let's plays of it, something on in the background while I work. This would take a team far more dedicated with much more free time than myself.

Came here to comment this haha

[@busydadrs5608]

Yeah clicked this video knowing I needed to share how insane the osrs categories are.

[@LuisRPG8]

Another extremely long Speedrun I remember was Shadow the Hedgehog True 100%, similar to the Undertale True 100%, the run consists of beating the game on every single route variation, as well as unlocking every Door with 5 Keys hidden in each level and also A Ranking every mission for every stage. The game consists of 326 unique route combinations for the splitting paths between the game's first stage and 10 diferent endings, which the game keeps track of to see which cutscenes to play and in which order in the game's Cutscene Library, 100% in this case would include unlocking every single route to watch in the Library. The only run to my knowledge that has been done was by *BlazinZzetti* , beating the game in 181 hours, 14 minutes and 47 seconds trought 53 days, this using an exploit to get unlimited Chaos Control gauge and basicly warp to the end of most stages, skipping "get to the goal" missions but risking crashes, which happened around 90 times, he mentions that he has no intentions to do a True 100% Glitchless as this was already too long, he also has no plans on doing this again any time soon, if ever. In order to not have to do a weeks long speedrun every time, the "100%" category ignores the Library for obvious reasons, still requiring the 10 endings at least once, all A Ranks and Doors, Expert Mode and the Final Story, reducing the run to around 7~ish hours, which is still long, but a huge far cry from 181. BlazinZzetti still ocationally runs (both glitchless and not) individual levels, endings and sometimes Expert Mode, also having some 100% No Library runs too btw

[@sb6196]

Wanted to give a shout out to the Shadow The Hedgehog True 100%. It was done once 5 years ago and isn't listed on the leaderboards, but took 53 days IRL and finished at 181:14:47. It requires that you beat the game over 300 times to complete every possible story path, get every secret collectible key, and get the best possible rank in every stage.

[@TooMuchDad]

You should check out maxing all skill in Old School RuneScape, even the fastest players take almost 2000 hours of in-game time. In addition, people going for fastest max are playing HYPER efficient while playing. And since to many people this is essentially “beating the game” I think it’s a reasonable thing to consider for a list like this :)

The longest run to a game that should not have taken so long is the last place run of Crash Twinsanity (I think Any%).

Another interesting long speedrun would be loz Twilight Princess low%. This isn't crazy long, clocking in at only about 15 hours 43 minutes at the time of me writing this, but it is interesting in that a significant majority of the time is spent looking at an item in link's hands. This is because the animation for viewing an item you get from a chest is missing a frame, so you move slightly backwards every loop which lets you clip out of bounds. There is a really cool video that explains it on the Lowest% youtube channel made by Gymnast I believe.

One that's worth a look and that is taken seriously: Path of Exile's longer categories. Although it's hard to compare times from different patches.

Fresh start to level 100 is taken much less seriously now (it was much more competitive in the past), but in 3.17 the solo version was won on day 6, with 2 people getting it that day, and 4 more on day 7.

But the even bigger behemoth of a run is also Full Series, but 100%. Record is about 84h RTA with ~70h of total playtime. That's 3.5 days long run with just TWO 7 hours long breaks for sleep.

Awesome video idea! Your content keeps getting better! Here’s the question; Did you speedrun the move? If so what’s your PB and strats?

[@Storster]

Not sure if I can give an exact start date haha. I've been gradually moving things up over the past couple weeks so that my final move in days will be less of a hassle. I'm the tortoise still trying to win the race!

There's a guy who ran all 23 mainline harry potter games 100% speedrun, although he did take breaks in between, so in IGT took 70 hrs but rta took 84 hours crazy.

Some extra info about why the Gran Turismo 4 run is so long: there are actually several races in the game that last 24 real life hours. (Most famous of all being the 24hrs of Le Mans) Plus, Gran Turismo 4 is easily the most content-packed game in the series. There are TONS of race events, and it takes a very long time in order to do them all. Thankfully they don’t do the 24 hour races in GT anymore, because that’s a ridiculous ask of anyone. They replaced them with 24 MINUTE races in GT 5 and 6. 😅

[@nicholasbradshaw]

I’m extremely disappointed that they didn’t go into any detail as to why it’s so long like they did with every other game.

[@humanish3411]

where botw in all seriousness, great video as always! glad to see a great upload from a great channel

there's a world record for The Henry Stickman Collection that's 42 days long

Call of Duty Zombies high rounds are basically playing as fast as you can to get as high of a round before reaching an inevitable error making it a speedrun. Depending on map, the error can range from like 60-100+ hours, the longest error being 300 hours that has actually been reached.

[@kerzenwachss]

GTA 5 Classic% is any% without using one game breaking mechanic and a few other rules, but almost everything is allowed. It takes 6 hours. The any% takes 2, the 100% 10

[@AttilaThe13th]

While I liked the video I find it funny that you put in GT4, but not even mentioned GT Sport Platinum %, which in itself is a 239h speedrun, but instead of 4 people, it was achieved by only one person in a span of 10 days, which is fully documented as well...

[@WestRoadZ]

Aye thanks man, I was hoping to see it up here too 😄 Such a great video and even still that GT4 100% is absolutely legendary 🙌

@@WestRoadZ Hey! Nice seeing you here. A legend like you needs to be mentioned. 😁🙌

[@tylerjacobson5840]

Maxing an osrs account is definitely one the longest speed runs people have done. Granted people sleep and it takes months but the fastest Ironman and group ironman to max is insane. They averaged like 12-14hrs of hyper efficient gameplay using tick manipulation methods which requires 1-3 clicks in rhythm every .6 seconds depending on the method. It’s basically like playing osu at a very high level for 12hrs+ a day. It is also highly competitive, I would say there was close to 500 people going for the first to max a group Ironman when it came out. That being people who streamed the game for a living or people without jobs.

[@ajculum723]

Another game that kinda counts would be a longing low% run where you just wait for 400 real days

[@bowsergoldmine]

528 hours=22 days ain’t no way someone really spent almost a month speedrunning a game I swear these speedrunners love sleep deprivation

[@wompastompa3692]

It's funny that you say segmented isn't traditional considering many runs in the early 2000s were segmented, especially stuff like Zelda hundo.

[@silverwolfgamer4100]

Theoretically the 1862 could be even longer. Add on the remaining 122 stars in Galaxy, as you’d have to do ‘Luigi Galaxy’s 121 stars and back to Mario to get his last one. Then, even though it’s on portable and not console like the rest, 150 stars in 64DS. Not to mention the 100 Cat Shines.

[@AceZephyr1]

Final Fantasy VII's 100% category may be on the shorter end of the length scale, clocking it at only 16:05:51 on the PC version and a somewhat outdated 17:47:45 on the PSX version, but it's a dense and heavily planned run for its length. My incomplete guide for the current best route is so far at about 130 pages with the current runner being somewhat annoyed at them not being detailed enough (Granted, some of that length is from a 8-9 page section duplicated 8 times with slight variations, but that's because the route splits into eight sub-routes at one point).

[@EliWay-mu9qz]

Someone's going for max in Oldschool Runescape in sub-1000 hours. Pretty much unheard of. Couple years ago, the WR was just under 2,200 hours

[@mikeymcjasper5654]

Hey dude, you're my favorite speed runner and I've been inspired to start speed running myself. i'd really appreciate it if you could answer some of my questions. do u think that yoshi gets embarrassed when he poos out eggs in front of mario??? sorry if this ofends anyone but i thought it was a funny thing haha. and i would like to know if any of you have any pics of yoshi pooping an egg while he looks nervous or embarrassed i just want to see it for a few laughs haha. another thing i am wondering is what do you think the eggs smell like haha im just curious for laughs haha i would like to smell them

7:34 So this is the longest run without taking any breaks, all the others you can just go to sleep in the run

[@kirbwarriork3371]

I stumbled across this video since it was on the recommended list from Super Mario 64 blindfolded 100%. It "merely" took 11+ hours, so compared to this list it might seem small, but I can't imagine how intense it would be to play a game without seeing and with no breaks for that long.

[@19Szabolcs91]

So if this is how you say Final Fantasy X, do you also prnounce FF8 as "Final Fantasy Vi-i-i" and FF14 as "Final Fantasy kseev"?

[@PatSpeedruns]

It's pretty crazy that the community puts themselves through hours of torture like this. But it's pretty impressive as well, especially when it comes to super difficult games

When the longest Speedrun is longer than the amount of time it takes to beat 2 JRPGs back to back 💀

There's a story of a Nethack ascension run that went on for over a year. On floor one. Yes, you read that correctly. A WHOLE DAMN YEAR. ON FLOOR ONE. How one would do this is beyond me.

Unfortunately the run isn't very interesting, you just unlock the saxophone as quickly as possible, then spam that for the rest of the time.

While Ring Fit Adventure 100% run isn't the longest speedrun, its "intensity level 30, intended" subcategory makes my jaw dropped. The WR at the time of writing is 28h 22m 12s by nwata.

[@yogamoanyo]

Oh hey, my name appears on the Forbidden Memories hundo section! Mom, get the camera! To elaborate on why the RNG manipulation category has a time longer than everyone in the No RNG Manipulation category, it's because TOTOzigemm's run (the person with 1st place and the only time on the RNG Manipulation category) was finished back in 2016 when RNG Manipulation was allowed in the main category as there was no split in the categories at the time. So, because his run is old, it originally appeared as last on the main leaderboard, but now that there is a split, he got that juicy WR when the RNG Manipulation category split was created.

Digimon World 2 is a different beast entirely. While people are tying their hands with categories like 100%, or No time manipulation, Digimon be out here having a 16+ hour _ANY PERCENT._

yo you've got like 10s of hours of footage to use for each category and you still re-used clips

I'm quite surprised there isn't any extremly long speedruns of idle games. They can take literal year to complete normally. Definetly a genre to speedrun amirite.
