[@RandomGameCritic]

Name a more iconic story than a community of the most skilled gamers on the planet being terrified of a dude named Goofy whose pfp is a stupid jpeg of a PS1 chicken from Spyro the Dragon.

[@teaz3139]

that's the goose from spyro 3

[@Rory626]

​@@teaz3139Point still stands

[@kareliask]

This series is so good, it feels like a lot of this information would be lost if you didn't put the full narrative out there.

[@DragonKingZero]

Jak 3 Community: **invents a new category because Goofy tore apart the old one** Goofy: Hey, that looks fun. Can I join in? **proceeds to carve a warpath through the new category too**

[@OutrageousJosh]

ABSOLUTE W VIDEO

[@ThaRixer]

W COMMENT

[@Don-eeee]

Yall are legendary

[@tiraknor]

I discovered this series with this video, stopped watching 30 seconds in, and started from the beginning (ERA 1), interrupting to watch the BTR history video when first mentioned, and the agdq2016 race when first mentioned. It would be amazing if speedrunners of more games had the enthusiasm players like you have in telling the histories of the scene in their games. I'm very much looking forward to the final 2 videos!!

[@ThaRixer]

It's a bit of a rabbit hole haha, appreciate you checking all of that out

[@marathonmanspeedruns]

The Jonda arc was especially relatable for me personally. The mystery at the end definitely left a lot of intrigue as well. Great job as always man!!

[@KalinGames]

45:31 The change from a low quality picture to an EVEN lower one cracked me up. Insane video dude, great work, very entertening all the way through.

[@osukarui]

Great part! Loved the character select editing when presenting Jonda, so good!

[@ThaRixer]

That was fun to edit haha

[@peppermintbubble]

Jonda's story of grinding like an anime protagonist and finally achieving his goal (ignoring the timing technicalities here) is super inspiring! But I hope he remembers to eat and take hand rest breaks nowadays! I can't wait to find out who rises up to challenge Goofy and how they do it next time!

[@undercoverdudes]

My favourite series on KZbin, by far, fantastic video. Can't wait to watch these all back to back in one video (if you're planning it), when the series is complete.

[@ThaRixer]

That's the plan :) - Thanks for the kind words

[@RedAsTheFire]

I wanted to say that I was never a huge fan of the Jak & Daxter games growing up, but your videos made me go back to replay them and as such, I feel like I've fallen in love with the Jak Trilogy for the very first time. Thank you for making me see how great the series truly is, my dude.

[@ThaRixer]

I remember playing Jak 1 as my first PS2 game and not being all that breathtaken by it initially, but I really fell in love with Jak 3 on release for some reason, i played it over and over again. Years later i've really grown to love Jak 1, 2 X and I even played Daxter recently and that was a great game too. But yea deep down Jak 3 is still my goat :)

[@sympathy_for_strays]

Haven't played X, but 100%ed all the rest including Daxter. Jak 3 prob takes the cake for me, too. Idk I love diff things about each of the og trilogy

[@scas97]

So this is where the "Denfend Ashelin" meme comes from ahahah!

[@ThaRixer]

Technically Dexz was the first to typo it but it just became tradition :D

[@Jaymez2012]

Jonda wasn't just speedrunning. That boy was a perfectionist. I can only imagine the kind of pressure he was putting on himself, and to still call his WR run "bad" says a lot about his mindset. Hope he's doing well.

[@Para_Noia_]

HOLY SHIT, THE MESSIAH OF SPEEDRUN VIDEOS HAS STRUCK WITH A NEW TABLET OF MPEG CONTENT FOR US MERE TERMINALLY ONLINE MORTALS

[@olefredrikskjegstad5972]

*struck

[@Para_Noia_]

@@olefredrikskjegstad5972 thank u

[@DragonKingZero]

The cast so far: Lapogne, the Originator Tomjak, the Sculptor ThaRixer, the Cultivator Bdub, the Opportunist Raccoon, the Terminator Yankee, the Daredevil HillaryPuff, the Ripper Goofy, the Intimidator Jonda, the Grinder

[@The_Argent_Inferno]

The interviews really enhance the storytelling, brilliant stuff for the 7th time in a row now Ricky.

[@uniteddivisionsartworks]

The editing after the first few seconds is already sick, well done.

[@z_monty]

Found this channel by searching for Jak X on KZbin, had no idea other Jak games existed yet I've spent pretty much the entire day watching this series. Incredible storytelling and incredible music taste! So many gems.

[@pilot3605]

BTR is giving me anxiety at this point. Even casually that level is scary

[@hypnivaria]

I gotta give my praises, your montages are unparalleled

[@ThaRixer]

Thanks man

[@The_Stellar]

I feel Jonda's tilt resets. Sometimes you just gotta throw out the bad vibes and start again

[@EATSxBABIES]

Roof Lizard cannot hurt you, roof lizard doesn't exist. That being said I cannot stress how quickly I clicked onto this video. Jak speedrunning is very under reported and I love your documentary style.

[@bcbgaming4481]

Honey wake up Rixer dropped Part 7

[@sr.laborde2610]

Man, the day this serie end i'm gonna be so sad, you are an amazing storyteller, the way you narrate everything and how you edit man, each video keeps getting better and better keep the hardwork man and greetings fron Spain!!!

[@theUsual_]

goofy. 3. 5. 8. sick vid, ricky. It came together really well

[@ThaRixer]

Thanks Usual, you're so well spoken in this vid man

[@chromasus9983]

31:40 Hell yeah, I'm here for all that Wip3out bop.

[@zaglezigawa8415]

definitely noticed that, loved it's edition

[@SixRockFire]

Best one yet. Absolutely ridiculous work, love reliving these things

[@danielshamlian2800]

The character select screen motif was lovely

[@rileygotpb]

wow that Rileygotpb guy is kinda cute…

[@DijiEva]

I'm not up to speed with the speedrun community, but I love learning about it. I grew up playing this game so this series has been really fun to watch. Love your work.

[@death112_]

loved the section with one of the wipeout songs. what an amazing watch!

[@Game_Hero]

Goofy absolutely owning everyone aka ERA VII

[@PunishedRuh]

Goofy is the Master Roshi of Jak 3

[@19jonsku]

Happy midsummer from Finland 🇫🇮😎

[@preservedcucumbers]

I LOST IT at the Mega Man X menu select screen, brilliant

[@CptGallant]

Fantastic video as always Ricky! Hearing you all talk about Goofy and how he just seems to be that much better than everyone else despite only playing sporadically really reminds me of how people talk about Franz in RaC1

[@flameblazerofdeath13]

Debug mode on PS5 actually won't give you the platinum trophy unless you already have the 300 orb trophy, some kind of glitch there with the orb trophies

[@Butterfingerme]

I could see an unexpected era after the series is finished just from the new interest in the game

[@Aledahal]

I have never cared for speedrunning, untill i found your videos. The informational approach based in actual experience makes this so interresting. Please do more!

[@alexandrachernysh7]

Beautiful documentary, I have been waiting for every part with excitement, I love your videos)

[@bobby-fisher]

No doubt, this series is sparking interest in the runs again.

[@musicmashups]

My opinion on the Yonda WR debacle is that if you have the best time with video proof, you have the world record. So, Yonda had WR.

[@Bintendo]

killed it as usual Ricky. The editing and montages are peak and i was engaged the whole time. The interviews as well were sooo good. Might be recency bias but this might be my favorite era so far :)

[@me-ml6jx]

Love your editing work and your style of presenting the story.

[@nikbol43below]

Is that where Denfend Ashelin comes from??? 30:41

[@ThaRixer]

It actually comes from dexz misspelling it in 2015, but the typo was just became so iconic that people started putting it in their splits intentionally

[@nikbol43below]

@ThaRixer Wild, I remember seeing it back when I watched Josh do 100% runs and wondering where it came from.

[@MrComocunacara]

Can't wait for this series to end, just so i can watch everything again back to back

[@OwensShadow276]

Awww man! I already finished it 😂😂 this video went by so fast man, so entertaining, so relaxing and enjoyable. Great video dude! 😁👍

[@marcjansson1039]

Didnt know much about this channel before, found the gresr video on Sly racoon speedruns and then this. Its like a great documentary for the uninitiated in this scene, thanks alot!

[@Scruppy89]

I'm learning so much about this game that I played countless times as a kid. These tricks are just something else.

[@dracomundo1498]

It's funny, I was just re-watching this series a few minutes ago. Well timed!

[@ganjatree]

I love this documentary so much man, thank you.

[@vampirekingdarkness9076]

Been watching these as they've come out, once the series is wrapped up and ive watched all of them, im absolutely rewatching the whole series

[@joncalvert4690]

I love these man. Every time they come out it's like a new movie from my favorite director came out. Chefs kiss

[@Lunar-Imagination]

Found the time to binge, and now I'm tempted to play the game myself! I liked Ratchet and Clank, chances are I'll like this too! Your speedrun documentaries are an absolute joy.

[@adamelba2896]

tbh, this sis the best series on youtube ive seen, ive started watching it and waiting even thos its been a year since th first video thanks a lot for it ricky

[@xM0ti0nl3sS]

You cannot believe the hype that went thru my body when I saw that this dropped in my notifications. Let’s gooo Ricky!!!

[@noahdean9685]

Oh yeah the demolition Duo has returned!

[@wile123456]

Jonda grinded for so long in a row he started seeing real life like the bad bitrate of his stream, pure soup

[@deancarruthers444]

Once again I smile whenever I see this series update. It is so awesome to see a part of my life if you will chronicled like this since as I said in a earlier video I watched you back during these attempts and this time without knowing it was you and to see and hear all of this "history" is awesome I can't wait to see the next part of this or just whatever you decide to upload next.

[@svipp8073]

It's like an anime with characters always getting stronger and stronger, and you believe they've reached their full potential every time and it just gets better and better. Can't wait for Ultra Instinct! By the way, it's one of my favourite game and i never knew so many people tried to speedrun this gem, it feels like it just got what it deserved, thank you guys, and props to you for keeping the passion intact

[@Templarfreak]

every addition to this series is just so amazing

[@vyvanse70mg]

when i got Jak 3 for my 7th birthday at the end of 2004 i could never have imagine how far people would take this game great stuff

[@vyvanse70mg]

ate two hot dogs while watching this video

[@dashaboipeacemaker1020]

No joke, I had just rewatched the other videos last night and woke up to a new video. Keep up the amazing work, these are awesome!

[@Lazerlight1212]

Watching this series since day one has been so fascinating to see how things have grown and evolved over time. It's incredible just how much time and energy has obviously gone into not just the editing, but the research as well. The music sections have been fantastic 👌 Could we maybe get a complete list of all the songs you've used in each of these videos so far?

[@ThaRixer]

Thanks for all the kind words :) - The soundtrack is linked in the description

[@Lazerlight1212]

​@ThaRixer Man I feel stupid for not thinking to check the description 😅 Thanks man 😄

[@brunocoracao6907]

the most insane series of videos ive ever seen

[@Brown95P]

I immediately recognized Jonda's introduction being in the style of Megaman X6's stage select; very well done on that part, can't wait for the final player introdution. I'm pretty sure we can confidently say at this point that Goofy evolved from the Intimidator to the Terminator; the sheer unrivaled mastery of his is practically inhuman.

[@lightsandlights6983]

Easily one of my favorite ongoing series on KZbin.

[@dragonslayer1432]

loved these games as a kid, now im kinda tempted to try this as my first speedrun game

[@NHLfan96]

Gotta shout out the music you use in your videos. Love how you include songs from so many different PS2 classics. I recognized one from DBZ Budokai and even one from the Toy Story 2 game if I’m not mistaken in this one. Keep up the great content!

[@Warcriminal_Tyr]

Fried rice, alcohol and the new ricky vid, fuck yeah buddy

[@lacoolofunplay1516]

What a monster that goofy! Excellent video!

[@karlhnedkovsky5214]

Goofy's a monster, dude!

[@AzzyAkari]

Loving this series so much! Can’t wait for Era VIII and beyond

[@PomesCollege]

Incredible historiography, thank you for your hard work!

[@cookieice6753]

I swear I was upset with myself when I didn't know you posted the first five and then I immediately binge-watched the whole series and I'm here and dude I love the videos I love the serious I love all the information you're putting out about speed runs and it's amazing to watch keep it up man❤🎉

[@pyschokid37]

Just got the daxter platinum yesterday and get Era 7 today hell yea!

[@Nuke_SR]

Sick video as always, looking forward to what comes next!

[@zaly7243]

43:15 tide pods. A monument to dead memes

[@Jaspergap]

Didn't know I was going to watch a documentary when I clicked this video. Instantly hooked tho

[@4TheWinQuinn]

This is edited and layed out extremely well. Great videos.

[@TheRedrocketrover]

When this is fully done im going to go back to the start to get a full breakdown on this series without the wait. Regardless its an amazing watch Rixer

[@Orice11]

I love this series man. Seeing you play Ratchet 1 has me hoping for a follow-up series down the road. 👀

[@TheVeyron623]

31:36 Ahh, my favourite wipEout game. Fantastic!

[@Mister_Clean]

I absolutely loved you hyping up Goofy to be this mythical, elusive speedrunner Made that mini-interview with him so much cooler

[@chilwil07]

Love the setup for Laponge coming off the top rope to drop a 38 then vanishing again

[@irvin5294]

Genuinely makes me so happy seeing so much love for my favorite childhood game ;)

[@Mister_Typo]

Dude this is just so well presented. Keep up the great work

[@tronmerncutsman]

There is no better experience than clicking on a video and immediately hearing Metal Shark Player

[@AskTorin]

This is such a great series. Looking forward to the next one ❤️

[@AlonescapeRS]

Just watched the last episode and new one comes right on queue, love to see it :D

[@ArpeLorpe]

Best speed running content on youtube!

[@JakPotamia]

Alright, I'm convinced. I've got to try this! Let's see if motivation is strong till the end

[@PiePie453]

Great editing today Rix

[@danielmajor3472]

Love this video. Love to know how many times you've gotten through this game, haha. Probably something insane 🤔

[@ThaRixer]

I have probably beaten this game at least 400-800 times lol. I don't always finish runs though keep in mind

[@danielmajor3472]

@ThaRixer wow thanks for that. Thats Crazy. Love your work tho. Keep it up

[@YON500PLUS]

mad respect for the wipEout 3 bit. great video!

[@PaigeDBZBT3]

I was waiting for this more than Christmas

[@ChillyWing]

Gos your use of FFX music is always top notch. You are the ture PS2 king

[@Anybanks]

I have no idea whats happening and I love it

[@SgtByrd93]

Goofy as the Golden Goose from Sypro 3 got me howling
