I swear every one of distortions speedruns I’ve watched he spends the whole video going “that was bad” “this is a terrible run” and then it ends up being WR
Yep, happens a lot in WR runs. It just means there's even more room for improvement which is exciting. All the mistakes could lead to another minute down. Sub 56 next, let's go.
When I played the game first I thought I had to defeat every enemy on the way so I spend like 2 days trying to defeat the troll jumping from the bridge that gets supported by the archers lmao😂
I know this is an old comment but I feel like this could be a new law of physics, that unless a speedrunner is constantly telling the audience how shitty they think their segments are they can never actually beat their old records 🤔🤔🤔
I think you have to be an OCD perfectionist to even get into serious speedrunning, so most of the top tier speedrunners are probably the type of people who refuse to settle for anything less than absolute perfection. Once they've figured out what the best version of what they're trying to do looks like, anything less appears problematic lol. It seems like a big part of successful speedrunning is being able to improvise when you make a slight mistake or get bad RNG.
I ain't gonna lie I prefer the glitchless speedrun compared to the any% where that whole zipping thing is useable. Not that zipping doesn't require skill (it requires heavy patience and stuff I am aware) but I just like it a lot more when the runners have to play the game as intended to the best of their abilities rather than being able to just "zip" right through the final bosses and stuff. Very cool run !!
@@P1Volvo850R any% for pretty much every game is kinda boring in general imo. It’s obviously super impressive how people even find out and optimize the strats, but at some point it just becomes way too boring to watch
@Samael OOT was good for about 6 years until they found the warps, there's a lot of good any% still but a lot of games is just code/rng manip or skips that aren't even fun to watch
Dis2 ain’t playing around when it comes to wanting to be the world record holder 😆 his record was just beat the other day, then he turns around and beats THAT record in record time, truly a legend.
Now that it's a year later I'm watching Dist's first playthrough and it's hilarious in hindsight, and it'll be even more fun to watch him do a crazy optimized speedrun once I'm done.
Started playing again after a 6 month break and wonder what the fastest glitchless speedrun was. Of course its Distortion, I'm not even surprised anymore, just happy he got it.
In every Dist stream whenever there is some kind of massive troll on the part of the game happens, it is dubbed "The [X] Incident" for instance, "The Parry Incident" is from one of his streams when he got BTFO by the Carian Knight before Red Wolf. What are all the _incidents_ and can we get a compilation?
Great video. Forgive me if this is a dumb question for I am new to the speedrun. But why do you quit and restart during the game? What purpose does it serve? I genuinely don’t know. Thanks
There’s a couple reasons. First off, opening doors can be slightly faster if you save quit mid animation. Those fractions of a second saved start to add up to many seconds saved by the end of the run. The other reason is to reset the aggregation of enemies so that they don’t attack him while he’s doing jumps and such.
a game i get lost in all the time, im just still on my first playthrough im like how tf do u know this map like that! lmao absolutely incredible stuff bro
Yes he missed the bow purchase but come on our man executed some of the most seamless boss fights back to back at the latter half. Fire Giant, foreskinz and glitter slime are beaten sick af smokin sexy style...
The whole blinds thing. Why does he have to order them? If he lives in the US I've seen those he talks about at the store (home Depot/Lowe's). Does he not leave his house?
I mean it is because the game is designed to work that way. You can respawn at state of marika if you die within its range (and Radahn's arena is huge). Arrow phase is because Radahn's arrow is not designed to have infinite range (it would be insane if it is so) So he is programmed to 'go crazy' and spam arrow at nowhere if player got out of range, and will charge player instead if they got back into range.
question why does chat want him to pop a rune arc so bad? he doesnt have a great rune so woudnt it not do anything? or does it give a bonus even without a rune?
