when explaining a speedrun takes 10 times longer then the speedrun itself

[@chonny24]

200 fps fetus is terrifying

[@ZephyriumOfficial]

That is one goofy ahh sentence.

[@Patashu]

I've been looking for an explanation of the category ever since I first saw it, and now I finally understand. Thank ou for making this!

[@astroguy4957]

You know some sort of shit is about to be explained when you here the music from 8:40 fade in

[@saxu1183]

Very interesting video! Really enjoyed watching it and finally understood how bandage duping works! Editing is also made very good so video isnt boring!

[@the_worst_rhythm_gamer]

main thing i learned from this is the game is physically impossible glitchless if your gaming setup is too good

[@orthinian3261]

This really proves that how many glitches a game has isn't the only part of how "broken" it is. This game is beyond fucked up. Only around 3 or 4 glitches are used in this run but because of how irresponsibly freezing the game and how bandages are counted was handled, we get this insanity. I'm not a programmer (yet) but it really seems like there are much better ways to handle bandages while still being able to distinguish them.

[@alcupone6462]

I think that the problem with the design is the ambition to use as few as possible of memory. Nowadays you wouldn't mind having 1MB just for bandages. That allows you to avoid this type of glitches. The alt glitch could be a bad handle or unsuspected property of the system.

[@x8c8r]

this is an absolute bizarre chain of events and its a miracle its actually possible to achieve

[@shen6232]

I can see this blowing up in the future

[@DarkCookie586]

timing all the alt glitches right must be pretty insane

[@shredberg]

1-10 in particular is honestly quite difficult.

[@dumphat]

I have done the replay glitch on accident several times but i don't understand why, now this explained it

[@foox99]

One thing you forgot to explain was the glitch that allowed you to replay a warp zone level, the glitch works because when you press space it skips the animation of dr fetus appearing to take bandage girl and goes straight to the replay, while the game removed the replay of the warp zone level it didn’t remove the function to skip to it.

[@TheLyre3]

I want to do the forbidden 300 levels speed run without dying once

[@frogerzard6606]

Speedrunners are a different breed

[@cloudtheguy]

I did the bandage dupe thing and now I have 22 bandages out of 20 in the forest,lol

[@ikunomakoto9955]

Oh really? I thought this video would be about Tofu%

[@Value134]

Nice vid 👍

[@anders_x3]

very informative

[@danizk0]

Is the address table public or was it created solely for this video?

[@monterrang1]

me brain... ouch!

[@MrZaqwedcs]

Awesome video :D anyone know the song starting at 11:38?

[@bertsampson7869]

cool

[@thecatking1856]

Views to comments and it make no sense AND THAT THIS NEED MORE VIEWS

[@chocolatecake50000]

I clicked sub bell

[@Planetdune]

Just tried this and alt does not pause my game.

[@Meatjar_streams]

It doesnt work on fullscreen mode go to the settings

[@tomtravis858]

why does alt freeze the game though? lmao

[@Jazerus]

it opens the window menu (File, Edit, View, etc.), presumably. A lot of games can be frozen with alt - although this is a lot less common than it used to be as it's pretty trivial to guard against - but generally they actually freeze until the alt menu is closed instead of trying to keep the game logic going so it doesn't affect anything.

[@TiagoTiagoT]

Does unlocking the framerate means that people with faster computers get an edge if they don't have an edge in actual talent?

[@shredberg]

In theory sure maybe someone with the fastest computer could save a couple seconds because they can run their game at an absurd framerate that others cant. But you're largely limited by movement speed of meat boy which isn't speed dependent. Only the level and loading screens would save time. No idea what the actual max framerate of the game or how thats hardware limited though so goos question. Fortunately this category isnt one thats particularly competitive in a world record standpoint so its not something thats too big an issue either wau

[@vagrantxxi]

this still doesn't blow up ; _ ;

[@2ts706]

Pog

[@foreverkurome]

Corrupting the game, bypassing FPS, state scumming through walls. I don't see what is impressive about this speedrun aside from how many ways you can be a shit human being in under 3 minutes. Giving cheats recognition. Unforgivable.

[@shredberg]

Hell yeah gamer!!

[@user-jp4ci5ny3v]

you kinda' sound like matt watson
