Anthopants once said that "something is impossible until someone does it" You've just done what we all thought was impossible lol, congrats on the victory. Your name should be God Iopa :D

[@Yuzoboy]

This is an AMAZING achievement. Well done!!

[@SteveFusionX]

I skipped straight to the expander elevator to see what kind of magic had to be pulled-off there. Great job, King

[@PoisonousPen]

Ditto 😅👍 Congratulations KiO!!! 👊🏻👏👏👏

[@ballardboy691]

😂😂😂😂😂I literally did the exact same thing

[@PeterLawrenceYT]

Congrats!! Absolutely incredible run King Iopa!!!

[@carrauntoohil86]

OMG! It actually happened! I'm so happy for you, Iopa. You deserve this! The fact the set ups on stage 7 didn't all go smoothly makes it even more impressive. You had to improvise and fight your arse off to achieve this. This has to go down as the greatest SoR2 achievement. Congratulations, man!

[@alexmironov6334]

Boundaries pushed for one huge step further :) Congrats, PRO!!!

[@subsonix_]

Congratulations iopa! Was an amazing journey to the completed run. So happy to see you get it :)

[@badrrito]

Congrats on the No Death Iopa! Well Deserved 🙌

[@rx8868]

GG dude! Wat a godlike gameplay! Skate next?

[@METATRONS_CUBE]

Wow. Just Wow. I can't wait Antopants review on this. 😂

[@kalmykuser]

Еще один шаг к совершенству пройден! Поздравляю с такой долгожданной победой!

[@Hyuduro]

53:15 It never made sense why enemies are able to block a sword of all things, lol.

[@20spartacus81]

Very amazing from italy,sardinia,You are a legend here too.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤❤❤🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

[@megadriveleo]

That is fucking insane!! The hardest character to no death. I thought it was nearly impossible, but holy shit it’s done!

[@CrazyCartattendant]

1:06:25 The man himself! :D

[@romuloventuracesario7661]

The king of the rage is Iopa

Incredible run GG's 🍻

[@bigsage8548]

Congrats!

[@itrgaming1585]

Great work man!!!!

[@bushidoman96]

Cool tricks fighting Barbon and Souther. Excellent run.

[@hahhah42speedruns]

Congrats again for this incredible achievement! ...Watching it back, I have to ask-was this the same session where you died in the ninja section right after breaking out from a loop of getting thrown in the corner and I said "you should've let the ninja keep throwing you"? Just wondering if that influenced you to let him keep throwing you until he got tired of it this time :D

[@king__iopa6841]

Not sure what you refer to by "breaking out". It's not up to me whether to break from it or not. He throws me for as long as feels like and the only thing I can do is just land on feet.

[@henhenonline8018]

Amazing Iopa! Congrats 😀 incredible play! 👊 Barbon 80 yeehaw! 😂. Skate next 🛼🛼😁

[@AnimaniacZero]

Amazing. 👏🏻👏🏻

[@CrazyCartattendant]

[@slavicus2046]

[@jasonvoorhees5479]

cool

[@Tiger_444]

Very Nice , perfect 🆗💯✔️👏👌😍

[@ecor150]

Played this game in the 90s non stop and still from time to time play it. And I still have not used any other character besides Blaze😂

[@xALK1984x]

Bravo!!! 👏👏🥰

[@mattyw633]

Great achievement, however I can't help wondering how Mr X's rifle butt missed hitting you, particularly at 1:05:40

[@king__iopa6841]

Invincibility at the start of her blitz attack. I triggered his gun smack attack, dodged it with the start up invince of my move, and then hit him with it. Very tight timing. Axel's blitz has start up invincibility as well.

[@devilquest666]

Legendary!!!

[@SCOOPARCADE]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@meandmrz]

GODLIKE

[@Somebody_M]

Great Job!!!!!

[@ZabuTeam]

IT was good.

[@DonSeriously-is9lb]

Wait there’s a hidden life in 1st board at the beginning of stage? Why didn’t I know this?’nb

[@jaykelley103]

Is blaze bad in this game? She kicks ass in the first one, but I've only played axel in 2

[@bushidoman96]

How'd you get that trick to work aith the robots on stage 7?

[@DruidVorse]

let the punk boss throw knives, I think about 6 are required. Those knives prevent the robots from their attacks to be effective

[@Dhoppler]

You've done most of the cast now, right? It's just Skate left, right?

[@king__iopa6841]

Skate is now the only character without a deathless run, yeah.

[@Dhoppler]

​@King_ _iOpa that's crazy. Blaze beat the allegations of worst in game.

[@king__iopa6841]

@@Dhoppler She's still the worst character for Mania and pretty much overall in the game lol. She still has worst damage output and worst moves that miss enemies and let them escape easily, etc. The reason no death with her happened is because there were strats that worked for her. It only needed the appropriate skill and the grind to pull of, so that's what I did - I had the skill and I grinded it out. But it doesn't chance anything for her, she's still bad.

[@Dhoppler]

@King_ _iOpa does skate also have those kind of strats? I know he's incredibly hard to make safe.

[@MisterX867]

How many attempts did this take?

[@king__iopa6841]

I don't remember exactly. But it was at least 2 or 3 months of torturous attempts almost every day.

[@Spleen29600]

Against the 4 bosses in stage 7 Blaze doesn't feel anything, that's WEIRD..

[@konradkubala51]

Knife glitch

[@edwells4769]

Sketchy.

[@king__iopa6841]

What do you mean by sketchy?

[@Jdeadevil]

Done legitimately? What's the illegitimate way? Lol

[@king__iopa6841]

There's a lot of TAS'ed no death runs of Mania on YT that don't specify it anywhere and try to come off legitimate, but they're obviously not.

[@rndlancer]

Some console emulators let you record the input sequence you've made ("a button presses movie"), and more than that, replay it, and if you've messed up (got a hit, for instance), let you return to the moment before it and rerecord the "input movie" from there. This way, you can craft a perfect play. It's mostly used in speedrunning to showcase how fast a game could theoretically be beaten if played inhumanely perfect. But sometimes people do tool-assisted walkthroughs without telling you those are tool-assisted. "An incredibly skilled player" evades all the possible hits with inhumane precision, but often their tactics is so immature it brings up questions like "how such an experienced player doesn't know such obvious things?" I guess ultimately they just want audience. But then again, when a seemingly impossible challenge is done legitimately by a human player, doesn't it bring more interest?

[@xALK1984x]

Done legitimately?? 🤔 who done it ilegimately?
