[@PintFrumpyrat]

the best part about uploading a video is watching reacts after. I need to listen to more good boy ASMR and train harder to defeat emo

[@throwaway5656]

ok - your react to zepla's react when ?

[@kingdaphnes]

Once again Pint is in his natural state as part of the react meta.

[@HTownsend]

You know... You could jump off the top and then just play the video in reverse. Easy world record of like 5 seconds.

[@thunderborn3231]

funny he returns to beat you in this, but doesn't reclaim his summer festival title while it was still available. i still hold the opinion that em0_oticon is strawberry cheesetart, its why he wore the gaja suit to hide the race change

[@TZShadow1]

@thunderborn3231 The more obvious reason would be that their record of the summer event tower being beaten wasn't nearly as public as this, so theres a pretty decent chance they didnt know it had been beaten at all

[@Niilack]

Pint: I will beat this. EmO_oticon: =) Time passes... Pint: I RULE THIS TOWER!!! AND MY RECORD IS YOURS.. If you can take it! SHOW ME WHAT YOU'RE MADE OF!!! 1 day later... EmO_oticon: =)

[@Dracobyte]

Hahahha! Amazing!

[@TheLi0nc0urt]

Pint spends a year beating a 5 year old record, the next day the legend comes back, destroys the new record by almost 5 seconds using Pint's strats, and then leaves without a word. Gigachad.

[@neek01]

He didn't use Pint's starts per se. Em0_oticon used drg dashes instead of reaper

[@SinisterLeviathan]

​@@neek01the first dash was a reaper dash into a DRG class switch and dash but yeah he didn't exactly use what pint did

[@madmarduk1936]

Pint woke a legendary beast and now he has to rise to the challenge. I look forward to the return of pint.

[@laharlkent]

No balcony dash at all.

[@Seinglede]

The entire arc plays out like a One Punch Man gag. A hero sees some random dude do some incredible shit, is motivated to rise to his level after years of effort. Then, only after completing a seemingly impossible task the hero ironically discovers that the impossible feat he witnessed was only a fraction of the mysterious random guy's true power and in reality all those years of effort have gotten the hero like 1% of the way there.

[@Wanderer628]

Emo_otican actually being a secret speedrunning legend is literally the most anime thing ever.

[@MoonIitStroll]

Actually, I don't get this; why does he think Emo_0ticon is Pydoyks? The footage clearly shows that Emo was playing _with_ Pydoyks but unless he's playing with two controllers at once like it's No Game No Life, this just show that they know each other, not that they're the same person.

[@Toliman.]

@@MoonIitStrollhe assumed the accounts are tied regardless, because speedrunners often have alt accounts for camera/filming progress. Or to act as a jumping off point to exploit dash/grapple mechanics. Which he notices in the video stream recording that he has a second alt account or friend. Even so, he can point to one account and that account can send a message with more details. Or deny being the account. What makes this hilarious is that pydocks/emo release a new record run that is 10 seconds faster than the “43 second” barrier. And he’s probably a console FFXIV player.

[@thehoodedteddy1335]

@@Toliman.also could just be a buddy had a better angle of something he did recorded

[@unixtreme]

Why do I see the same comment in every video.

[@JM-nothing-more]

@@MoonIitStroll in the stream vid Pydoyks was at the top of the party list, which means he was the player recording

[@happyhealsgaming7614]

What I absolutely love is: Pint went and unlocked RPR And DNC and even leveled up DNC so he can use the Dash multiple times. Em0_Oticon in the video clearly only used 1 dash. So guy literally saw Pints video, brought a sub, unlocked RPR and DNC and just used the 1 DNC dash along with adding in DRG backflip to beat Pints time. What a legend. xD

[@koshu4]

He’s wearing both Gaja pieces, so it’s much more likely to be someone who’d already played Endwalker than someone who just resubbed. But still a legend aye

[@happyhealsgaming7614]

@@koshu4 Hmm, good point. Lol but either way, it's still tremendous cause... Technically someone CAN still beat his time if they added both another Dancer Dash, Ninja Shakuchi and...Did Pint or Em0_Oticon utilize Phys-Ranges Pelaton by any chance?

[@Dracobyte]

Hahahahha!

[@saintboy93]

Pint achievement is making the legend come out of hiding even for just a minute.

[@richardwhite3521]

Significantly less than a minute 😂

[@Dracobyte]

What a legend!

[@davidpoa7775]

Pints flame was extinguished when Emo started twirling to replicate how Pint saw him Lmao

[@craigwheeler4760]

22:10 -- Strawberry Cheesetart has the Necromancer title.. She's a POD points runner. That she could do the tower so fast does not surprise me. POD masters have insane skills.

[@northstar6920]

Then the dude came out of retirement and styled on Pint by an entire 5 seconds.

[@WGSXFrank]

He even used Pint's own techniques, added his own, and showed a more optimal route for the roof. lmao. Peak Speedrunner shiz

[@WalterWhite-jz7ct]

without any commentary, like a Boss xD

[@RimorsoDeleterio]

plus perfect vista landing

[@apathy2454]

Without all the special editing too that’s the best part about it lol

[@Jon_the_Wizard]

"Aaand it's gone," done in real time.

[@kylerunkle4398]

It's funny how Emo already came out of retirement to beat Pint's record

[@caladensama3479]

Pint and the Internet Historian make the best invid ads

[@MrKnaives]

I love that they sound alike as well.

[@JGComments]

Zepla going from chuckling to losing it is always my favorite part of Pint reaction videos. 😂

[@craigwheeler4760]

Pint is like Kobe Bryant in Basketball, but with Video Games. He's waaaaaaay to competitive.

[@orimu836]

Pint cooked this masterpiece for over a year.

[@Soramoi]

"If you know thy enemy, use thy enemy's camera settings" this killed me!

[@BlueJeiVA]

That was an absolutely brutal end. The way he finished by jumping on the lampost and landing DEAD CENTER!?!

[@akselmani]

My man really got a more engaging and emotional story than when Vegeta snapped inside fighting for his life and became a Super Saiyan.

[@Valkross9]

Pint's video is the Marvel Movie, and Em0-oticon's video is the post-credits scene.

[@zellcrs]

Pint pressured me into going and climbing the tower. Finished it and reclaimed my honor.

[@typemoon7748]

The only thing more shocking than Em0_oticon's identity reveal was at 30:07 when Pint revealed he's Estinien's voice actor.

[@ruikirisame1744]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!

[@adriannash2705]

Honestly that part was so cool

[@Pikaton659]

When was that???

[@quickstep2408]

everything about this pint arc is so good. the characters, the determination… then the ending 😂😂 i guess gods dont bleed after all

[@laharlkent]

"Is this Pints villain arc?" Love, Pint has had like four villain arcs this month, he survives off hate and merch.

[@evrfreez]

Oh, they bleed.... *but they also have a Phase 2*

[@shadowforgedgamerz520]

Ohh... They bleed, it's just that they heal super fast. In this instance it was only "mere seconds" to regain what was lost to the mortal realm. 😉

[@Dene181]

Even as a non FF player, this was a great and funny reaction to an amazing, epic and damn glorious edited video! Pint is just such a legend, same as Em0_0ticon. Incredible story! 😊

[@Sheriff_K]

Yeah, I’ve never played it but enjoyed the vid.. especially the anime/documentary style revelation about his nemeses’ legendary past! 😮

[@Abyssionknight]

I can't wait for 2026 and Pint's next video about beating Emo's record.

[@kubi0461]

I fell off one jump from the top. I haven't been back to Kugane since.

[@JaceRS3]

Zepla malding at the start was incredible! This entire experience was incredible!

[@bretsheeley4034]

Emo_otican's defeat of Pint was the post-credits scene to the movie.

[@HikingFeral]

I had no idea about the tower until Pints video, went last night, couldn't find the start, found a green ledge, tried to jump on it and fell so my climbing career ended where it began - on the balcony at the inside of the tower.

[@Saphira.]

this guy has such an amazing comedic timing hahaha, great video

[@skrrrtemorr8969]

He just like internet historian fr fr, love both their content

[@Snowy123]

28:34 I just realized he showed the character pov from a potato size

[@Ricmaniac]

This is just soooo what youtube is about man! I love these videos of pint. He is one of the GOATS when it comes to game edits. Amazing! And fun reaction Zepla! :)

[@Purlsama]

: ) Emo probably watches Pint, probably started doing runs in the 14 days after he responded and got the record in that time but waited for Pint so he could make his video which is pretty cool of him if true.

[@pumirya]

EmO-Oticon be like, ‘Hold my beer.’

[@DarukaEon]

Pint has such an epic voice. That line, "My record is yours! ... If you can take it..." has me pumped up. That hearty, guttural laugh is so good too!

[@custardpup6385]

Pint would lowkey be a great VA!

[@koshu4]

Given that he’s wearing both Gaja pieces I’d gonna guess he probably didn’t just reinstall the game

[@kaly8329]

He was enjoying his retirement in FF14.

[@bloorulez]

Zepla should beat pints record to show that she still got it at 42 years old

[@jahboidb]

We don't use the "42" word here

[@jonathanbaker4361]

It's not about the challenge, it's about the walls we climb along the way

Zepla's laughter throughout this is cancer-curing. It is so infectiously uplifting.

[@Zoten001]

I'm one of those people who gave up on the tower. I hate jumping puzzles, apparently. EDIT: I also find it hilarious that after all this work, Emo comes out of retirement to bitchslap Pint's record THE NEXT DAY.

Pint's achievement is so EPIC, he is able to revive a Legend.

[@jaxirraywhisper741]

It is the same burning passion that league of legends player have after geting so angry they throw monitor out of window, buy a new one and then still go and click the new ranked game queue. That kind of dedication and passion is what Pint had for this tower. Huge respect.

Nah man. He’s a speedrunner, he has that fire in him that means when he sees someone challenge him, develop new strategies just to beat him, he’ll want to give it a go

He was probably excited that someone actually challenged him and his position on a speedrunning time he got. He lives for that shit. For the race, for its own sake.

Yeah EMO came out of retirement looking like dumbo and flew to the top...legend indeed

[@androtaz2621]

emo took that sun tzu quote to another level

[@ticklord]

On the subject of jumping puzzles. Back when I played GW2, I played a Norn and did entire map completion on that Norn set to as tall as possible (this was before I knew there were jumping puzzles) Norn was considered to my knowledge the hardest race to do the jumping puzzles with because the perspective difference made judging jumps a lot harder. But not for me, I did that shit faster than most of my guild (we all did map completion together as a guild activity)

[@athormaximoff4634]

I got decently good at kugane tower, got it down to about 3 minutes because I kept missing the final jump, got to the top a few dozen times but still haven't got the sight, some day I'll get it.

Azura Stargazer had beaten Em0_oticon record since that, so the battle for Kugane WR speedrun rages on.

[@seekittycat]

Now bun mom your turn go go go 😂

[@Sajukhar]

Kugane tower is also way easier then to Costa Del Sol Tower, but i have a tactic i use, simply target yourself to see your target ring, this shows you your own hitbox on how far off a peg you can stand. This allowed me to climb Costa Del sol tower daily just to hang out, and Kugane tower is where i used to go to to craft in peace XD But indeed watchin reactions is fun to do and Pints video editing skills are something else.

[@Fenrasulfr]

So how difficult is the tower compared to GW2 jumping puzzles?
