The Greatest Jak & Daxter Speedrunner of All Time

OutrageousJosh is the most dominant speedrunner of Jak & Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, and has held that title for quite some time now. In this video i am going to dive into his story, and why he is considered to be the best. The humble beginnings, the rise, and the apex of his career. I hope you enjoy the video.

That Nibor comment is hilarious. He equates getting a world record to "Hey, I mean, I play this game a lot too man"

[@jonathanshirley4366]

Sour grapes

[@local9]

And when you look him up, has no content related to running the game or evidence to back up what they said. I doubt he'll ever post a run ever after being asked to post one on his last video posted 3 years ago.

@@ElronHumpperdink Pretty much, and shows the character of the person.

[@DrGold-ks1mp]

@@local9 I'll bet he's comepletely moved on from that account, even, because of Josh's fans following him. A 100k video where probably like 30k stopped to read their whole exchange probably didn't help either. Also, your username is 👌

I shall try, but they take time :)

[@guitarheroboyable]

I think one on Xem and how he dominates all 3 RAC games would be fun!

[@_Encie]

Josh is still improving his times! Just one month ago he set a new WR in No FCS of 23:16. What a guy

I love this video. Just goes to show how humble and open you are Ricky about making in-depth quality videos not just centered towards yourself but others as well, congratulations to Josh as well! :)

[@LetumComplexo]

I remember being in Headstrong's stream when they discovered the idle deload. It was the weirdest thing, Headstrong was just practicing pause buffers and suddenly the world around them disappeared.

I played this game when I was like 3-4 years old it’s one of my first memories including the ps1 Harry Potter game, I usually watch josh’s speed runs here on KZbin not just cus of the amazing skill but also cus of his personality he is such a good and nice guy and that really draws me in at least, also great video and thank you!

[@ThaRixer]

Thanks! And I agree he's a really nice guy

[@BescapeYT]

SICK video 15:55 Probably my favorite piece of Jak lore lmfao

[@ThaRixer]

Everyone's cool nowadays, pretty sure they even spoke to Nibor but yea it was funny at the time ^^

That Mirror's Edge music intro

[@johnthicc5153]

Never thought I'd see the day music from a yugioh game being played over footage of Jak and Daxter

[@imaooo954]

I'm just happy people like my favorite game of all time 😂

[@connerammons7651]

I was really expecting this video to be about headstrong, and how they held records in all jak games, but I'm glad to hear about josh

[@nukesploder]

ThaRixer was one of the Guys that really introduced me early on to his twitch channel, and I gotta say, its been a great time getting to know Josh! He's a great streamer, and I think its really cool that the Jak Community, and really, the speedrunning community as a whole, is able to work together and promote their craft. What a great video. Thanks for the in depth analysis Ricky! We really appreciate all the hardwork and dedication YOU put in both speedrunning, and your content in general for viewers like us.

[@hsblue]

This video is a work of art. nice one Ricky! and congrats Josh for pushing my favorite game to its limit!

[@dropkickedmurphy6463]

1:20 when i first watched it gave me the folse impression Josh died and tthat the video was in memoriam.

[@dknf4036]

LOVING your speedrun related content outside of the runs, keep it up!

[@scas97]

There are no videos on KZbin that I am enjoying as much as yours lately. They are so well made, so interesting and entertaining! Keep it up Ricky! :D

[@laineyw7257]

i love that you put the clip of shift doing swingerless while talking about unbeatable runners, that man is the definition of unbeatable

[@TheNagler]

I've watched his runs for the past couple of months, seeing him beat record after the record is just incredible, inspiring at that. You did a nice job with this documentary. Great work both of you, and keep it up!

[@ThaRixer]

Thanks!

[@punchappy4418]

Ricky and Josh... the two who got me into the Jak speedrunning community 😭❤️

[@samdobie2792]

Thanks for explaining the Nibor bit. Looked it up, super funny. Especially seeing the comments from the people watching his world record run.

[@MurkyVP]

Love these types of videos

[@damianduprey3349]

The music choice is always good, and it’s good to see people getting appreciated for their efforts

[@waltzingmousegaming4785]

just found your channel and I have to admit, I did not realise speedrunning was still so popular! great videos dude! I dont speedrun myself, but it's great to see you show so much support for these streamers and youtubers! I hope I can find some sort of niche on twitch someday, and stuff like this really makes me smile :}

[@marathonxman]

This is the most whole some thing I have ever seen. Thank you for this man!!

[@superlativeb]

lul I was gonna say its the saddest thing I've ever seen.

[@matthewperez6062]

i enjoyed this type of video. please do more, quality work

[@EddieGalois]

17:40 props for using capsule monster colosseum music. Been a while since I heard that ost.

[@Darkour97]

Seeing the passion come out on runners when they pb or wr is amazing. The explosion of emotions and realization of what they just did is truly awesome to watch.

[@bionicallyacomputer292]

😭

[@Ahamkeira]

This was an AMAZING video. Stuff like this is what I love so much

[@TheDezembro]

I love that you keep using that beautiful bit of music from Mirror's Edge Catalyst in some of these intros. It makes me want to go and play it over & over again.

[@Daedalus8K]

17:48 capsule monsters Coliseum music??? Nice!! I gotta subscribe just for that XD

[@avalonLSVM]

really good video :D i really like the vibe of the video ^^ i think its because of the choice in music im not sure tho keep it up

[@lacoolofunplay1516]

Love this new types of videos! Wasn't following you lately but I glad you are still in my subscribed chanel on youtube. Hope your doing well, continue the great job!

[@ss4clubdj]

The first time I beat Jake and daxter 100% ( a few months ago ) my first thought was lemme look up the 100% wr to see how fast it could be done and I was absolutely blown away by Josh's time its awesome to see the history laid out like this you should definitely do more vids like this

[@TRiToX91]

Hecking sick video my dude! Good job

[@ntrg3248]

I can agree the feeling of being on a stream when they break WR, I can imagine an even stronget feeling in the runner

[@VagancyHD]

yoo sick video man, really enjoyed it

[@Pouilleux]

This is my favorite childhood game. I've spent literal thousands of hours at least in this game, finished it more times than I can count. And yet, pretty much every single movement he makes when playing feels almost alien because of how perfectly executed they are. He's truly the king of this game

[@Jackalopette]

Ahhh! This made me cry too! I love this game so much! I was actually getting sub 2 hour runs before I knew speed running was a thing. I wish I kept with it. Congrats Josh! Your hard work really shines through!

[@3v068]

I'm not too big into speedrunning, but I can appreciate the difficulty and the sheer determination it takes for people to complete any kind of speedrun. With my favorite game series of all time, nothing can ever beat it and nothing ever will, seeing the world record being beaten was something that made me cry. Congrats on the times josh. You are a friggen legend my guy!

[@FatalHog]

another big game that had a similar story to this one, where one guy conquered it was one of the original ninja gaiden games, and the only reason i know that is because this same dude also held a record for the irl speedrun of making a burrito the fastest.

[@thebluwall7442]

More of these vids plz ❤

[@DrInferno109]

This is a great video about an amazing runner! You should do one like this but about Xem!

[@henotic.essence]

What an astounding journey. The perseverance of all speedrunners, but ESPECIALLY Josh, is incredible. Hats off to you, Josh.

[@nostalgiaworks5999]

I remember when you used to do Let's Plays. My favorite one was Sly 3 because of the Master Thief Challenges. I would listen to the music as those were real bops. I would restart the video every time the music ended, just so I could keep listening to it.

[@rdmax4599]

this video is amazing and emotional, congrats to Josh he's amazing!

Yo these videos are getting good views, congrats

[@saurtose2]

Your commentary so nice

[@TNobody0214]

Amazing video. Though I was distracted by the capsule monster coliseum music, weirdly enough. Great sound track though. Just as great as Josh himself

[@SyneLilith]

1:30 My face lit up as soon as I heard the Metal Gear Solid 2 sneaking music

[@doesntmatter6361]

What a legend. I love this game so much.

Love the Sly outro

[@some1and297]

Good video man, any tips how to make good videos of a similar style? (Trying to do a history assignment)

[@DragonSniperThree11]

The end reminds me of when I was on cheeses stream and say the first sub 1:40. Was a lot of fortuna in the chat that run

Hi tharixer. In 2 days i will have the software to récord my games after 6 years. You are my favorite streamer and youtuber. this video inspires me to keep improving like josh... Josh had a bad quality but he loves jak 1... and for that reason he never stopped. I love jak 2. 100% ready to keep working and make my best. I had no idea that you were back but im very happy. ty to make me a good runner... There is no perfect run, but all there to finish Mery christmast my master ^.^

[@doubleqgd8060]

So sorry, horrible english :)

[@HellfireComms]

What a king!

[@MisterNohbdy]

From the video title, I thought you were referring to the J&D series as a whole. I don't know much about this series' speedrunning community (though your excellent videos are making me wanna fix that gap in my knowledge), but a look at speedrun.com implies that would be headstrong; is that an accurate assessment?

[@christrout9902]

What was the speed run time at before that massive win? I have nothing to compare it to so I don't understand how it's impressive.

[@13191215]

Yoooo, what is the first tune? It's soooo nice. I believe its the song playing in the whole intro. You hear it best at 1:15. Its so nice.

[@13191215]

Found it further down. If anyone is looking for the same its the Main Theme for Mirror's Edge: Catalyst

[@helipack1859]

Never watched him but he seems good.

[@GnightOwl]

I love this journalism

[@grandmastermario3695]

I was happy when I got all 8 WRS for kotr and royal rumble, for the game wrestlemania 19, which really is NOT a big deal or hard to do, but atleast it was a goal that I was happy with achieving.
