[WR] Slay the Spire Speedrun: Defect Any% unseeded

About time Defect had a sub 4
Really should have taken that double energy before Slime boss
Spent way too long on shops looking for extra energy from any source
Could have had a cleaner giant head fight
I stream my runs sometimes KEK

My thought process while watching: "Wow, that's a huge mistake, not using that smoke bomb for Giant Head. Would have saved so much time... Oh. OH."

[@akalius2376]

Actually the boss fight would have been shorter than the head fight, less max hp even without the vulnerable (artifact)

I was gonna joke about how it was rigged that the wheel of fortune gremlin gave you a treasure, but then he gave you an eternal feather in a 3 card deck. That checks out.

[@adaephon]

Actually laughed out loud when I saw the feather. 100% hit me in the feels on that one 😂

My man is so fast, that he goes on 2 paths simultaneously and runs past Donu and Decu

I finally found a KZbin video to use the half speed function on

[@gemmaburger65]

That is perhaps some of the most impressive gameplay I have ever watched

[@tristanmecking8206]

Nice glitch for the act 3 boss! Never seen that be done before

[@willblanco1626]

Did he use a smoke bomb on the doughnut?

[@Dontlagmebro]

@@willblanco1626 looks like he used smoke bomb as he killed the previous encounter so it held it for the boss since normally you can't smoke bomb bosses. Some sort of buffer I'm guessing but still neat.

Love the fact that You added moonlight :) Great performance !

[@HugoBaesJr]

Defect uses the Smoke Bomb to ride the Hyperbeam and skip to the heart. Nice!

[@Άρης-ΜάζενΤοκατλής]

My guy, the speed of your decision making is a marvel to behold, amazing skill!

[@Natan-es9ms]

I was proud of myself when I cut my speed run time from 1.20h to 0.45h with Ironclad but this is godly, I think I'll never be able to achieve such a result

[@lich6907]

This music at the beginning perfectly describes the eternity of the adventures of the main characters in the tower of the spire - hopelessness

[@jikoczi_9999]

I like the music taste

[@Oleg-px3us]

Impressive run! Was the act 3 boss fight skip due to smoke bomb use?

[@Zee0]

Yes, you can skip fights (mainly bosses) by using the smoke bomb glitch. Best explained here kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2nKipiQhqx7Z7s

[@uniworkhorse]

necronomicon with hyper beam is such a combo dayummm

[@mrlucasftw42]

How did the strike / defend relic after act 1 boss remove all those cards for good?

[@Lperathdo]

It's a save scumming bug where cards added by pandoras don't get added if you go to settings fast enough

[@Khusyasy]

Me: figuring out which path should i take Zee:

[@bdr_fr4ncy318]

but when you find pandora's box how do you refuse the cards it has transformed?

[@erikszabo7773]

Exit out then come back

[@dragonmaster7556]

can smn explain me how he has 8 cards on the slime and after the slime when he get the relic that transforms strikes and deence he gets to 2 cards

[@fauxpas4589]

a glitch with Pandora's box removes all strikes and defends instead of transforming them. I think you just spam click the relic really fast but I'm not sure entirely on the details

[@gav-schwam2355]

It actually works for most events or anything that removes your cards/card from your deck for a second, but apparently if you mash proceed immediately after its taken out, the card doesn't have time to go back into your deck because your already in the next room.

[@sebbepersson6819]

How did pandoras box just remove all cards from his deck? Did they change this relic, or is it a bug or something?

[@aleksandrmonastyrov6183]

It's an old glitch, if u play with keyboard/mouse - press escape, "abandon run" but don't confirm, instead hit Escape twice fast and voila - all strikes and defends got removed.

[@sebbepersson6819]

@@aleksandrmonastyrov6183 cool thanks

[@defry1234]

What in to world happened at 0:52?

[@Fkdpfjsodnspdkslskzlz]

I believe that's a trick that let's you visit adjacent rooms on the same floor! It requires very fast menu finesse to pull off iirc

[@Lv3Wizard]

Wait how did he get 2 treasure rooms at 0:46? Is this some kind of glitch?

[@Danny-me6bk]

He went into an event room which happened to have another chest

[@Gross_Gaming27]

How did you go from 9 cards to 2 after act 1? I’m so confused

[@biaslina]

Pandora bug

[@Tomehawk95]

What the hell, so many skips. Impressive stuff, but I genuinely got confused by what happened after slime boss.

[@NixViche]

you can use pandoeas box to remove all strikes and defends, then using the controller skip actually taking the transfromed cards.

[@salamiraccoon]

@@NixViche so you have to plug in a controller as well and there's a butotn or shortcut on there? or could you rebind a key to something on the keyboard you don't use?

[@NixViche]

@@salamiraccoon im not sure if you can keybind selecting a map point on pc. The controller glitch works because you select the next point on the map faster then the game logs what cards you have gained for your deck

[@Stuffthatsfunny1]

How do you get that Xbox controller relic?

[@d.s.alcoda]

he crip walked

[@MrPerlew]

Crazy, I use more time in the character selection screen than you do for a single run wtf.

[@Salty_Web]

Local SCP breaches containment and transcends relams to destroy local tower of evil in less than 5 minutes any%

[@lordadamant8182]

I still don't understand the Pandora's box glitch that just deletes the cards from your deck.

[@caltheuntitled8021]

The short version based on my understanding is that there is a tiny window of time between when the strikes and defends are removed and when the new cards are added. You can interrupt the process during that window and prevent the new cards from being added.

[@TsieLeMoswang]

I don't even understand what's going on

[@nicholasschuetz9075]

how did you manage to get two side by side chests in act 1 and the campfires and question marks?

[@Choccymilkshakeenjoyer]

It's a bug. It allows you to enter two rooms on the same row.

[@anomaletix]

what the fuck did I just watch

[@bradenspangler7710]

Woahhhh what’d you do with Pandora’s box??

[@kardnails8729]

What happened to the Necro curse?

[@dracomurdock6349]

If you enter a room before the animation of a card entering your deck completes, you don't get those cards. He did the exact same thing after the Pandora's Box to just delete most of his deck.

[@_ninjaneer]

I realize this is an old video, but how did you skip passed the final boss fight?

[@vaevictis7374]

Why u lost cards after first boss?

[@ToSMaster12345]

Nicely played!

[@pringlepop-po2ss]

how did you lose all the cards after pandoras box?

[@alexursu4403]

Something about it working by first removing all strikes and defends and then giving you the random cards ? The skip basically leaves before the cards are added.

[@Nomadic_Gaming]

@@alexursu4403 isnt a skip notice the screen jump he just edited the footage and removed them all via cheat engine

[@preekja]

@@Nomadic_Gaming Lol. Are you salty? He explains it on other videos. They are removed and then added, if you spam "Continue" after they are removed, you can actually skip them being transformed and re-added. This is literally my 2nd video I've seen of Zee and I already read this instead of lying like you are..

@@preekja except it doesnt jump like you hit continue it jumps further then that its a clear jump cut where he cheated that shit out im not salty your just a white knight lol cape on if thats ur thing but a cheats a cheat and this ones obvious as fuck
