The phrase "might never be broken" is notorious for being very accurate every time it is said in the speedrunning community!

[@V8chump]

As someone who’s been watching Black ops 3 zombies speed runs that “might never be broken” only to be broken less than a week later… yea

[@jammo7370]

Can't wait for the summoning salt "The Quest to Beat PokeGuy" 2 years from now

[@SLNNEDG]

Grogir was the first ever to exit silph bar with a shot at WR (and that only if he went for super risky E4 with around 15% to survive) and he thinks it is extremely unlikely he will ever be on that pace again. The main reason it wont be broken is probably competiton. Only Grogir and Yuji have a shot at it and both want to stop after 1:44 and dont plan on going for WR

[@psymar]

​@@SLNNEDGother runners will rise. it will probably take a few years but someday someone will beat it.

[@Jackig5000]

True but few of those games are as old as Pokemon red, and those categories usually aren't glitchless either.

[@christimson6233]

The script writing is great on this. Well done PC

[@Alwayz114]

his scripted speech is really good too. Used to be a little stiff but he's really grown into it

[@s0me_Dude]

@@Alwayz114his feud with alpharad really paid off

[@highdefinition450]

i mean it's alright, it's better than before but it's not that special either. i think people only like pointing it out because he's mentioned how he thinks his scripts weren't that good in the past and he has improved a little since then lmao

[@hellogoogle1018]

@@highdefinition450 My thoughts exactly. It just seems so effortful and it feels like a 8th grader is narrating a play, and the script is what you might submit for an english essay, not a youtube video. I don't know whether people really find this sad attempt at creating a story entertaining but I just cringe at it. "With that, red bar is all but locked in for the elite 4". Dude, just submit your script to your 10th grade english teacher, don't make a youtube video using it. Idk if its the narration thats just so ass or the script but it definitely isn't praise worthy and probably the weakest part of his videos. His humour isn't like alpharad's (not saying its bad, I really enjoyed his pre-alpharad vids) and this narration definitely ain't it. But that's just my opinion. I mean holy fuck look at the other comments, they are literally either cocksucking or critiquing his script and narration because its obvious how hard he is trying to pull it off, you never see so many comments about it on any video with actual good script and narration, three of four at most but over here, every comment gives off the vibe "Keep up the good work kid, you'll eventually get better."

[@mh56487]

​@@hellogoogle1018you're WAY too mad about this dude. If you hate it so much then just don't watch. Tf do you get out of making fun of his scripts? As you said, he knows scripts are his weak point. You're not adding anything by making your own essau on why it's bad. Also like it doesn't even sound that bad? It's just narrating what happened, it's not doing the typical KZbin thing of making a crazy story with a wacky tone of voice. Again, what do you even get out of making fun of a dude who's trying to improve? That's cringe if anything.

[@kampfsocke25]

2800 attempts is just insane at this point. And I thought 151 attempts were crazy. Mad respect

[@SarahSoupster]

PC’s 151 attempts are still probably more impressive from a time perspective, since he would spend countless hours on each attempt while the 2800 attempts are probably around an hour each on average, but 2800 is way more impressive just from how many times he would have to lose and retry

[@SoFtBOILeD181]

​@ttvphoenix1079 70% of attempts die before 12 minutes according to Pokeguy, meaning he's only gonna be averaging approximately around 17 minutes, which isn't as bad, however it's still a lot of time spent just resetting.

[@jorgeperez2872]

A nuzlocke is a challenge 😐

[@lesqueegee]

@@jorgeperez2872 u right, it’s a challenge. It’s the only challenge bro covers on the channel. Speedrunning is also a challenge. Therefore, he’s now covering Pokémon challenge(s). Could I word it better? Prolly. Does it matter? To you I guess it does. Hope this clears things up

[@definiteIynotkenji]

​@@jorgeperez2872 op is right Jan is basically only Pokemon Challenge rn but with this video he might eventually be Challenge(s)

[@-.bella.-]

im so tired and i didnt even recognise that this is jan i thought it was just some random youtuber ive never watched before lol

[@lesqueegee]

@@symbiote6526Most of those other challenge vids were when his channel was growing a few years ago. Bro reacted to smallant’s no hit platinum run because that would get him views and then started working on his own nuzlocke content when he knew it was worthwhile content. You can keep cherry picking all of the other challenge runs he’s covered, but you can’t deny he mainly does nuzlocke runs. I just think it’s cool when he covers other challenge(s).

[@cs8844]

One thing i would have LOVED to see it's the cumulative % chance of bad things NOT happening to better understand the actual unlikeliness of the run

[@Virus101100]

As amazing as it is, some how, in a few years to come we will witness another record being broken and it will stun the community again. Thus is the nature of Speedrunning.

[@idontwantahandlethough]

huh.. that's a good point. In a way, speedrunning is a microcosm of human ingenuity when faced with the impossible; what once seemed truly impossible eventually becomes routine :)

[@ThyN00bly]

Depends, every once in a while a record will come up that can only be broken by finding new ways to play the game because the route will be optimized to the nth degree

[@jonny1891]

Speedrun Explanation videos are the best content on youtube hands down. Bit of synthwave and some chill voice telling me how some guy took 0.001 second of another guy and why its litraly almost impossible to do 10/10

[@verness-plpt]

I REALLY like those kind of videos. I'm not into speedrunning but getting those interesting information from a youtuber I enjoy makes it much more interesting.

[@idontwantahandlethough]

agreed

[@vanesslifeygo]

I'm watching this because of watching too many Werster videos

[@ericblackburn3131]

I'm always down to watch an hour long documentary about random speed runs. This is about a game I enjoy, so even more cool to watch!

[@tylerd1297]

I remember 4 years back, Exarion said that he was done trying to WR. Citing the bike shop glitch among many others that made it more RNG fish-y then it ever was. Then PokeGuy came along and squeezed a little more juice out of Red and some of the other runs. Pretty crazy if you know how good of a player Exarion is.

[@GappyV]

[@saltylad6513]

I loved this video. The editing, the script, the story, the cameo, and the music, everything was on point. It's also lowkey fitting listening to you talk about another pokemon challenge type.

Dont get me wrong, I am thoroughly enamored with the content you usually do, but this shit is a clean banger. Hope to see SO MANY more of these types of vids from you. Really enjoying them

[@citbblitwo7092]

These are the sort of vids I miss that Gunner and Werster used to do

[@seda_11]

I think this might be the best video you have uploaded, both from a narration and editing standpoint. I counted one minor mistake with a repeat line but that is dwarfed by the quality that oozes through the rest of it. Very well done.

[@littlebirdy3545]

I love this documentary style vid! EXCELLENT music choices too! Keep up the amazing work Jan!

[@theSato]

My favorite video from you this year, the work shows, and I'm happy you explained this run to a wider audience, nice one man

[@TheBlueWizzrobe]

Good commentary, I like it whenever you spice things up on your channel. As long as you keep doing what you do best, I definitely wouldn't mind seeing you branch out into different types of videos more often.

[@OceanBagel]

I just got this video recommended right after the speedrunner Grogir brought a run on a pace that could beat this run all the way to the E4. I'm sure it'll be beaten eventually, especially given the hype (and bounties) surrounding it. But it would certainly take an absolutely amazing run to beat it because it's already an amazing time.

[@codex_jinora]

I like this new type of content! The script is great and I always love speedrun analysis. Your insight on pokemon is always very unique and in depth and that translates well to these types of videos.

[@zombeef3074]

The chill DKC background music is both a blast of nostalgia and much appreciated!

this is awesome dawg !! it's nice to see you delve into another side of pokemon rather than just nuzlockes, esp since it's still entertaining & interesting

[@garbagecat944]

its insane that it took 2800 attempts and playing incredibly risky the entire time just to shave off 1 minute from the previous world record. and now its seen as a nearly unbeatable record

[@Cometstarlight]

I really like this style of video. As big of a Pokemon fan as I am, this taught me a lot about the inner mechanics of gen 1 as well as speedrunning strategies. Also really loved the style of music featured (Kirby Air Ride, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, and Ace Attorney to name a few) and it fit well!

[@lieuwehiemstra9365]

I think the best quality about speedrunning, is the rush you get when you achieve something impossible and yet others find ways to break your impossibillity and go even further beyond.

After many years of trying and finally starting to get PRs, OatsNGoats beat the Super Metroid Any% WR by 6 seconds. That's one that legit might never be beaten now as TAS is only a couple seconds faster than that and it's super RNG based. The 1st spot was there for a long time, and 2nd was like 6 years. Till Oats beat both of them. He was expecting to beat WR by a second at least, but 6 was just insane.
