Welcome to the Top 10 Comebacks in Speedrunning. Today we explore some examples of some of the most clutch moments in speedrunning. Whether it was a speedrunner making up for lost time by playing almost perfectly, or pulling a wild yolo strat out of nowhere, these are fine examples that demonstrate the idea that no matter how a speedrun might start out, there's always the possibility of having a sick comeback. Of course, this video isn't limited to the entries featured, so if you know of other great comebacks in speedrunning, let us know in the comments section!

I love that this video includes enough context to understand why the runs are special and how both the timeloss and timesaves work. It has the perfect balance of enough info and not being condesending, for lack of a better word, and assuming the viewers have never heard of a speedrun before. Well done breezyscape!

I love watching speedruning content, but I don't have the best understanding of the game, nor the speedrun, so these videos are perfect.

To me, it isn't that Simply's parents celebrated with him, it's that the father knew the range of HOW MUCH he has saved achieving the record! Not only they are supporting of him, they actually know and care!

[@cademeister4778]

I used to speedrun Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon and about a year or two ago, the world record run on any% was about a minute ahead at E-3, then went down to +2 minutes after E-4, then got brought back to be WR in the final 3 splits of the game, being E-5, E-B and King Boo. If you make a part 2 to this, that’s a good one to include. I don’t remember the runner sadly

[@Conflict-ff5pi]

Wait,i'm confused. On that GTA section i've rewatched it a few times, what exactly is the comeback? EZScape doesn't actually say that he messed up or lost time at all in that section, he just explains some glitches and then the guy pulls them all off perfectly.

[@Subpar1224]

Yeah so I relistened a couple times and I don't think he did anything particularly bad, I just think he was trying to get to a time no one else had gotten to or maybe he could never get to so he went for a risky strat not sure tho

[@ziggyhfx8202]

I mean it's the same for the SM64 one. He misses one red coin but that's not a comeback? It's a good run and an adorable ending. But like it wasn't even a comeback.

[@Black-Dawg-Jesus]

@@ziggyhfx8202 Depends on the category. A lot of SM64 categories are so optimized that one missed red coin can easily be a reset.

[@englishben]

The comeback is because I was going for a 53 minute time, but the early&mid game had gone so poorly that a 53 wasn't "possible" and I could only get a 54:00 as my best time. However I managed to have the best end game of my life and clutch it anyway.

[@Saltiren]

Right, Ben didn't really come back, but it was very clutch. Very very clutch

[@bowser5961]

this shows that you shouldnt reset every run that may be +10 or +20 out of mid game because you never know what golds you could end up getting in late game

[@Gredran]

Please do more of these! I saw a channel USED to do speedrun saves and now these days, I usually ONLY see speedrun fails. Fails can be funny, but definitely stressing lol. These saves are endearing and cool and anyone knows what a good save feels like :D Great video!
