A 38 minute breakdown of a 27 second run. That’s the Karl way

[@ryanrotolo1102]

Wouldn’t have it any other way

[@kilmindaro3]

absolutely legendary

[@nloc1929]

I would watch a breakdown of every Goldeneye level by this guy, I love his passion for it. I grew up playing Goldeneye, but watching the current speed runs are incomprehensible to me, a painfully shy Bond yeeting grenades everywhere and somehow completing all the objectives. So now at least I know what's going on during the Runway level and can appreciate the insane skill of the runners

[@C4ssi4an0]

After all, the shorter the run, the greater the skill required.

[@Lawofimprobability]

The details about the evolution of the strategies and the kinds of processing involved (in terms of the software and human analysis) is what makes it a valuable learning experience for non-speedrunners. Watching the evolution of optimization techniques in a wildly different field helps provide abstract lessons. It is the detail that makes his videos worth watching. If he could get even more detailed (such as on the evolution of specific techniques), I would find it even more valuable.

[@partthethird]

whenever I see Goldeneye speed runs I can't help but imagine an actual Bond film where the villain is in his lair and Bond just runs through, looking at the ground, crab-walking at superhuman speed, throwing grenades in random directions. Just henchmen and the villain freaking the fuck out as the base explodes ten minutes after being built

[@rockhole2008]

It's kind of crazy how none of this would have happened if the devs didn't include that one grenade box

[@Chance57]

It's a paradox. The year is 2122. Speedrunner Joey Anders has just pulled off the first negative 0:01 run, breaking causality and thrusting his consciousness back in time to when the devs were designing the level. His influence and ideas of what must occur lead the devs to unwittingly include a box of superfluous grenades in the level. The cycle continues without beginning or end; Only the grind to lower the time remains.

I wasn't initially sure what it was that saved Joakim that extra second until I rewatched and saw that Ryan didn't get a boost from that first grenade he threw. Very nice

[@cl8804]

That's a pretty terrible mistake to make by BOTst.

[@slothbin]

I think it was the combination of the first grenade boost, guard boost, look down, and tighter lines

[@Lowmanification]

The lack of a boost was the first thing I noticed as well. In general the runs seem to end with a lot of health, so even more boosts could shave time off. Whether there is enough to get a 26 though is probably unlikely, but it would be cool to see a deeper analysis by someone more knowledgeable.

[@penguinjay]

He started the speedrun content bc he broke dam 52. That's probably the biggest break he will accomplish. Then he gave glory to all the other unsung heroes and struggles he had been keen on for years. He was still on the grind, but it quickly became about putting spotlight on others' great achievements. It's just great content and it shows maturity in wanting to collaborate and celebrate more than just be the best. Karl seems like a really humble dude. It's sick his channel went from nothing to over 600k subs in like 4 years. Hard work pays off.

[@AmishFan]

Can you maybe increase the boost you get from explosions with some lean motion strategy? Could you get into the plane faster by leaning those last few inches? Just some thoughts from a non-player.

[@notalive5479]

As another non-player, I don't think these optimizations would matter too much, given the Goldeneye speedrunning community doesn't record milliseconds. The first strategy might increase the boost (I could be wrong), but the increase would be negligible, unless the 0:27 is already on the verge of being a 0:26, which I would wager is not the case. Leaning to get into the plane wouldn't matter either, since the end of the level is determined by when the final drone gun is destroyed, and entering the plane is timed to match that. Since entering the plane is already timed to the destruction of the final drone gun, and the final drone gun is already timed to be destroyed as early as possible, entering the plane earlier then was done in the speedrun holds no benefit.

[@ChazDraycott]

I've been binge-watching your entire channel this week, and - especially off the back of this video - one of the things I've grown to love most about your channel, Karl, is that you posess the skills to match some of these guys and compete for world records yourself, in a similar way to Wirtual's skill to not just compete, but create awesome story-telling documentary-style videos on the same subject.

The amount of effort put into what we are seeing here deserves more credit.

[@nighthawk7485]

So, a question about the differences between the :27 and the :28: From what I can spot in the videos of the different runs, every run except for the :27 uses the first grenade to kill the guard on the way to the first drone gun. In the :27, Joakim Ljung forgoes using the grenade on the guard in favor of using it to gain a boost coming out of the key room. After he passes the guard, he receives a boost from behind him. Am I missing any other differences from the :28, or are those the only differences. Also, as someone who has only really played the game casually, what is the purpose of killing that guard in the other runs? My guess is that it is mainly to prevent inopportune boost interrupting grenade throws. Is this correct?

The two times Ryan got hit on the 28 run either did not push him forward or knocked him back.

Love these videos, I grew up recording random stuff to VHS but never doing anything with it, little did I know by my mid 20s i'd be online only to see just how many insane people where trying to speedrun games in general, i was never as good as any of them but man id have loved to be around the community during some of these early times.

Finally a new episode, great job my man Karl!

[@Svalbaz]

Joakim’s run is incredible. Actually incredible. As soon as he went for the grenade boost at the beginning my jaw was on the floor

[@Sam_on_YouTube]

So wait... what did he actually do that was different to get the time save?

[@TheBeardedGamerReviews]

YES! Whenever you release a video, all I think about is what time of the day will I be able to sit down uninterrupted with a cup of coffee and just enjoy it! In around an hour the family should all be soundly sleeping. 38 minutes. Nice!!

nice to see you make another goldeneye video

[@giusepperesponte8077]

I wonder if goldeneye will ever reach a point where people start timing themselves and decimals are counted. I know there’s reasons this hasn’t been done already but I feel like pretty soon there won’t be a choice. Maybe a new category of run could be created.

[@Stevo_YouTube]

I've seen this addressed elsewhere. The in game time doesn't always match with real time, even with no pauses. The time is therefore more like a high score than an actual 'time' as in a real life race.

KJ and Goldeneye, the combo i subscribed for

[@Doktor.history]

Fantastic video, thanks for putting it all together!

[@thepointblank213]

Always get a kick out of seeing my old footage on these!

[@andrewswander4345]

I'm early... SHOUT OUT TO THE NOTIFICATION SQUAD

[@SpartanPrimeDSTY117]

People really do have an eye for these records... You could say... A GOLDEN EYE
