Silent Hill 3 World Record Explained

[@SaltyRocksPew]

Harry: murdered, dead, bleeding on the blankets. Heather: executes a 360 quickturn cancel to leave him behind in record speed

looool

[@rialyy6217]

Ok I really like this narration style, rather than being a strict serious script it feels like having a friend casually explain the game for you and it's a cozy and comfortable experience. Bringing up the konami announcement subject added more to that feeling. Comfy and really interesting ☺️

[@miike2]

it's like GDQ but with no cringe involved

[@Cheatmuh]

I just can't unhear the Burger King Foot Lettuce meme. Every time I hear an American with this accent it hovers in the back of my mind. "Number fifteen, Heather quickturn cancel..."

[@josephwarren6093]

The narration didn’t feel noticeably different to any of his other videos for me. I personally think Ricky does an amazing job at scripting and narration, kudos Ricky!

[@geneericname7138]

Imagine a horror game story with a speedrunning protagonist. The monsters are popping out of every corner doing their level best to scare the protagonist, who is beelining right past them without sparing them a glance, let alone shooting at them, to the hidden hallway the protagonist should have no way of knowing exists, before stopping and intentionally dislocating their ankle to turn 270 degrees in 1/30 of a second to enter the hallway with no decrease in walk speed and no signs of pain despite their feet now facing two different directions. Later, the protagonist is trapped in a locked room with monsters slowly approaching and a creepy monologue in the background when suddenly there's a rapid clicking. The monsters look to the protagonist whose hand is a twitching, inhuman blur as they turn the knob to the locked door 60 times a second, waiting for the first frame after the monologue to open it. Then they notice both hands are on the shotgun the protagonist is holding. Halfway through it starts getting really freaky when the protagonist walks into a room, turning to face one particular corner and continuously walking into it while hopping in place for 37 seconds, then suddenly twisting into a pretzel *still* with no apparent signs of pain and passing into the wall while the monsters stare on, horrified. Also: 42:27 If you're reading this Mr. ThaRixer, it's pronounced 'tair-oh' cards.

[@chrism1518]

I feel like that’s how a lot of people would do it in real life lol

[@jakubhusi258]

I would watch so many more random Speedruns of games I've never played if they were narrated like this. Knowing what is going on and all the techniques being used just kept this interesting and addictive throughout.

I'm in bed with a high fever listening to an explanation of a Speedrun of a game from a series I've never batted an eye at. And little by little I feel my self getting better. Your videos are truly incredible 🙏

[@ninosbrothermichael1842]

I have to say, as someone who isn’t really in the speedrunning community, your channel is probably my favorite on KZbin right now. These videos are so well done and I’ve watched each like 6 times now. Hope you are doing well and I can’t wait to see future content! Also it’s criminal you don’t have more subscribers!

[@bunkymag]

Your scripts are great - really enjoy the cadence of delivery. Clear concise and with the right amount of pauses to give some space. Keep it up!

[@Pigeonscrapper6573]

Regular gameplay: A nightmarish psychological horror. Speed Runner gameplay: A brisk jog through Detroit.

[@pokeman123451]

Hey now, have you ever been to Detroit? A brisk jog through Detroit is still a nightmarish psychological horror.

[@Roof5tone]

I really enjoy how the in-game timer inspires different strats to what the usual overlay/out-of-game timer would.

[@AngelofGrace96]

Oh shit, I discovered your channel really recently, and watched your other silent hill speedrun videos a couple of weeks ago, so it's very cool I managed to catch this one as it was uploaded!

[@manatee8702]

Honestly, I'm intrigued by silent hill f. The final shot of the trailer is really chilling and unexpected. I honestly thought they were just gonna play a jumpscare

[@scaldcrowe]

i'm really excited for shf, mostly because of who's writing it. ryukishi07 might not be a name most silent hill fans recognize (particularly in the west, even if most his visual novels and their manga/anime adaptations have been translated into english over the years), but i've been a fan of his work for well over a decade now. imo he's a great fit for writing that silent hill type of horror that combines psychological and supernatural elements

[@ahairylobster8524]

I can't thank you enough for the detail you go into on these vids, it really does help people who are completely new to the runs. Worked wonders on the sh2 vid and now this one is just as good if not better.

[@VoermanIdiot]

I genuinely treasure these SH speedrun explanations as some of the highlights of youtube each year for the past few years now.

[@CaptainDoomsday]

I love these Halloween SH speedruns. It's always interesting just how many tiny factors would go completely unnoticed by casual players. I hope you (and I) find time to play through SH4 and a good WR appears before next Halloween, but if it doesn't, I suppose the logical shuffle would be to Resident Evil, which I assume is fairly similar to speedrun besides inventory juggling replacing most puzzle work. Either way, I'll be sure to keep watching!

[@ScPolaroids]

Bro I don't speedrun myself nor do I follow it. Yet here I am loving your videos and hoping for new releases every day!

[@TheCakeLie]

i like that you uploaded this in 4:3. :)

[@Clone003]

WE NEED MORE RICKMAN. As long as you can do them and still live a healthy life of your own choice and have fun creating this content. I’ve binged most of your videos in a week and subscribed after the first time, these are seriously great!

[@blankeymodo1]

I don't mind if next year's special doesn't cover a SH speedrun. Your narration style when covering these specials make it an even better watch (or listen to) whenever I need something playing in the background. The details your writing gives makes it easy to follow the run and easy to understand. I just hope that you'll keep on making videos for as long as you find 'em fun to make.

[@StoutShako]

This is the first one I've been able to catch as soon as it uploaded. I feel like it's my birthday and Christmas all at once!

[@Xanman22512]

If there isn't a good Silent Hill 4 run to showcase by next Halloween, there are a few good speedruns for the game X-Files: Resist or Serve. It's a tie-in to the show with a similar setup to Silent Hill or Resident Evil, and I think it might be a good fit for this series. You could go for either the Scully or Mulder run by hansolo12.

Are there any leading theories about why spamming the map button speeds up the elevator, even if we don't know for sure yet?

I've recently finished the game for the first time and already started an extra new game, what I failed to notice not only the first but the second playthrough, is that you can place the books on the shelf at the first puzzle. So Heather ran through hell and back all while carrying several Shakespear volumes, probably on one of her vest pockets.

[@codyolmstead4907]

It's funny what you said about the mannequines later in the video. I worked a night shift in a college that had a nursing program (as part of construction on their facility). The only time I could work in their essentially practice hospital... basically by myself of course, in a room full of probably 20 hospital beds with mannequins in them that the students would practice on. I was a bit younger, 22 or so and used to constantly watch horror movies for a while. Il never forget the feeling of working in their space that night and just being so completely creeped out. The lights only seemed to work on one side of the room so I worked my way from that side out, if memory serves correct. . Either way Im not sure which is honestly worse. Seeing whats coming, or imaging what might. At least if you know you're dead, you know it's over. If you spend your life living in fear, it's not like you really had a chance to live at all. Thanks for the in depth video!!!!!

I've seen a guide on the Leonard fight. It says that if you take 2 steps back before firing the shotgun, he will never start swimming and he'll just stay in place so you can shoot him down

I really have enjoyed these Silent Hill videos every year, shedding light on a series I haven't gotten to play yet. This is just an idea, but if you can't do a video on Silent Hill 4 next year, I think it would be really cool to see a video on a Resident Evil game.

Although I don't do any speed running I watch many videos because speed running is interesting to me, it interest me how people figure so many things of a game that not even the developers know and how someone can sit for hours looking for 1 little thing that can change a speed run, and then finally every knows and everyone attempts and it's a race of who can get the best time then get an even better time

The only thing I'd say about all these new silent hill properties they're announcing is that if they're really experimenting with game styles and we get four different ideas of what the silent hill franchise could, or should, be going forward then I can forgive a few lemons or imperfect games for now if it means a renewed franchise in the future.
