Transcendent Movement

[@windrunner27]

I love your Mario kart DS online story in the description.

[@heterodoxagnostic8070]

i see you put thought into everything here, i just want to point out something that may seem minor but which i absolutely appreciate is the quick slides at the end, not dragging it out as you know most people pause to read this, and if you drag it out, you'll just make us wait after we unpause. very nice editing, fitting music and epic clips!

[@Optimusskyler]

I still come back to this video sometimes It's nice to see just how far gaming tricks have evolved like this

[@hunga.b]

holy shit that mario kart ds story was awesome lmao

[@24lp15]

i absolutely love your vids, it's such a treat whenever you upload

[@ProbablyBorp]

thank you. that means a lot

[@jongyon7192p]

The Heart of Speedrunning. To approach perfection. To do what no one else has ever done before. The Wright Brothers must've felt it. NASA as well. TASing really does feel like space travel. You calculated everything, and you made the inputs. Now you let the thing fly and see if it desyncs or not.

[@ProbablyBorp]

DeRockProject & the Attack of the Really Long Channel Name I like that. Well said

[@SaturnSnapple]

That Fzero movement is actually insane

[@Pslamist]

Thanks for the story in the description. There's something to be said about just defining your own success and claiming it.

[@mannx2_495]

Yoo, I'm in college now and I was getting bored of what to do... *then you uploaded* *thank you Supreme Borp*

[@djanatyn]

nice

[@solarcubing7677]

Owl City brings me back to the good ol days..

[@mymyscellany]

Man borp I love your videos so much. I feel like your videos are full of gratitude toward others and works of beauty you appreciate. I love the long descriptions with stories.

[@ProbablyBorp]

My Miscellany that’s one of the nicest compliments I’ve ever gotten. Thank you

[@brianb2308]

He is back, and showing lots of mario 64

[@Optimusskyler]

Did you know that the two are brothers? Yes? Okay, I'll leave now, then.

[@JV-uq9cf]

You're my favorite Wreck-it Ralph speedrunner.

[@Lazypackmule]

I am feeling somewhere between inspired and baffled at receiving such a nice message from a video that feels like it was sent through a time machine from 2007

[@scales251]

Goosebumps!

[@groovygreenhat3119]

You were beat down by poop. This line alone makes this video a masterpiece. Your melee videos are always phenomenal, but I especially treasure your more artistic/philosophical videos that touch on what makes video games resonate with players. I go back and rewatch An Ode to Exploration every few months. I hope you too appreciate the irony of you, of all people, making a video that celebrates wavedashing (among other things). Regarding shinesparking, my understanding is that it has always been an intentional inclusion, they just never explicitly instruct the player on how to use it (kind of like l-cancelling and z-cancelling). It might be different for fusion, though; I've never played it.

[@ProbablyBorp]

Thank you, Noah. That really means a lot, what you said about Ode to Exploration. About a year ago, I spent a lot of time working on a sequel to it, but I couldn't make it work. I just couldn't find the right music or a satisfying way to tell the stories. But I'm gonna try again some day. I actually didn't know all that stuff about shinesparking even though I played Metroid Fusion. I think the thing in the video is an even more specific, niche thing, though. Vikram actually told me about it. There's this like minute-long, very difficult sequence of shinesparking into slopes that leads to a sequence break. And I think the developers caught it before release and acknowledged it with a secret message. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJaupnpjfryob5o I'm glad you said something about the irony! You're the only person who did. I'm not sure if that's because everyone else thought it was so obvious that it's not worth commenting on, or they just didn't notice.

[@Mazlow23]

I love this guy

[@mikewu8489]

good video bro

[@mxcascade]

Wouldve been sick to see Bhopping from CSS, Slingshotting and wallkicks from titanfall 2 and quake + team fortress rocket jumping mixed in

[@ProbablyBorp]

yeah, I agree. those are all good examples. I didn't grow up playing PC games though, so I don't feel those ones in my soul the same way

[@TheProOfMario]

Hey Borpably, I've enjoyed watching your videos for a while. I like thinking about their concepts and like your choice of music. Also, I've tried to implement some of your techniques in SSB, it's been pretty fun. In a lot of games, especially some of my favorite ones, I feel like I really connect with these parts (meaning movement/engine exploitative things). I'm not sure if you've ever played Mario Kart Wii, but some of the exploitable physics in that game lead to some crazy scenarios, like climbing the mountains of Mushroom Gorge or flying off of a wall by just barely touching it. Recently I feel this has led me to enjoy puzzle games; My favorites are structured around these kinds of revelations about like, random crazy things that I didn't realize were possible, but make total sense.

[@ProbablyBorp]

thank you! this really brightened my day

[@wilburcobb8990]

I've always fought for games being 'art' is not some pathetic attempt to make an immersive movie; it's an art form all in itself. From coding movement to employing it and making it your own. That is what games as an art form should be.

[@roybanderas154]

Damn. Y'all should read the description. That Mario Kart DS player was really salty :p

[@heyimdeer]

I really like the way you integrated the clips with the song! Very neat video, it's cool to see how so many games had their limits pushed so far. Also hilarious to see that Halo 2 throwback

[@ProbablyBorp]

thank you. that means a lot

[@KingHalbatorix]

I get that people have good reasons for removing old videos (including youtube's -wonderful- copyright system), but I do miss the descriptions and I'm glad you brought that old story back. I remember reading it before, but not what video it was under.

[@elephantblue1566]

Amazing video as always. Enjoy you covering concepts in a way that aren't typically covered. Any chance you going to Big House? I still really want the chance to play you. It's been a dream of mine since I started playing Melee to take a set off of you. I finally think I'm good enough to do so. Currently, I'm at the highest win streak of this online season at 46 set wins. Despite playing for nearly four years now, I've still held your playstyle to the core of my gameplay. Truly are an inspiration to this day

[@ProbablyBorp]

elephant blue yes! I’m gonna go to Big House this year, and I’m excited to get to meet and play smash with you. Your comments have meant a lot to me. I still think about that one you left on the Untouchable Treasures video

[@n00ph]

i know you've always had good stuff to read in the description, but now it's also in the last 3 seconds of video. i'm glad you touch on rocket jumping in quake since i mostly play FPS games and rocket jumping is a true spectacle to behold.

[@ddode4]

Amazing video but you forgot halo superbouncing, quake and cs bunnyhopping, and tony hawk anythinging

[@ProbablyBorp]

thank you! I'm not familiar with the tony hawk one, but yeah, those are two more good examples

[@SeikOsito]

i just wanna make sure im not insane, didnt you have a halo reach video with armor lock? (Also do you plan to make some videos on Reach again?)

[@ProbablyBorp]

Aw man, I'm sorry. You're not insane, it got muted a while back so I unlisted it. But I just fixed it and made it public again. I want to play reach again and make new videos about it. I'd have to by an Xbox one, though, right? It still might be worth it. Halo Reach was my favorite FPS of all time

[@SeikOsito]

@@ProbablyBorp Hey no worries my man. I just wanted to make sure I was able to find it, it was one of my favorites. And who knows, with MCC on PC now that's possible also! Glad to see more coming!

[@AcidEfflux]

@@ProbablyBorp It's on PC as well, I don't know the specs on it though.

[@ProbablyBorp]

@@AcidEfflux I just got it for the PC yesterday! It's amazing and surreal that I can play Halo Reach with people again

[@wakeupandsmellit]

Aren't you pannenkoek's brother? I guess he would know something about advanced movement.

[@roybanderas154]

I just noticed that some of these have names. Does it mean you did the ones without them? If so, damn, you're pretty good Edit: Oh, I just read the description

[@KingHalbatorix]

read description And not just because it answers your question, either; Borp's video descriptions are always a treat.

[@daincockrell2041]

I thought you weren’t supposed to know tech skill

[@mannx2_495]

And also, do you TAS?

[@ProbablyBorp]

I don't

[@mannx2_495]

@@ProbablyBorp oh my gosh, your precision and timing and skill makes you look like your TAS in real life XD. Crazy Awesome!!!

[@ProbablyBorp]

William Owens thank you! now that I think about it, there’s one exception. I have really pleasant memories of me and Pannen, when we were kids, trying really hard to jump to the ice island in Mario Kart 64 and finally succeeding. So I wanted to include that in the Mario Kart part of Ode to Exploration. So I asked Pannen to TAS it for me in Gran Prix mode, since then the penguin’s on the island. And he did that for me
