most of the numbers % he is showing in the video is made up its an extra touch to make the video look more accurte some of the numbers are right but not all of them
@@luffygrful ya you have to understand some of the numbers he showed is 100% random i am not saying all of them are most of it is correct but some are made up just to fit the video
Alexandre Martins It’s... not an error though? The point he’s making is the game isn’t _known_ for its RNG, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have them.
Nobody gives auddy07 the respect he deserves. He held every record across multiple consoles for a long long time, made a speedrun guide (which got deleted sadly), and pretty much popularized strategies that are still used. Shooting yourself with rockets in village was even called "auddy rockets" for a while.
As respectable a runner Auddy07 is and his contribution towards the community that helped shaped it to this day. He's had a pretty bad record with people in the RE4 and 5 community in the past which eventually lead him to kind of fade away.
@@wagqubu that doesnt surprise. He also deleted most of runs and turned off comments. I thought it was because his newfound faith was annoying people but I guess it was something different. If you could link me to anything I would love it. Hes the guy who got me into speedrunning in the first place
@@jeremiahbaugh8195 I don't really remember too much detail on why he got removed as super mod from both the RE4 and 5 speedrun forums since it's been a long time but I do remember him DMing me apologizing for shit talking me behind my back when I was still a fairly new runner in the RE4 community. I forgive him but it's just sad how he handled the social aspect of the community poorly but did a great job trying to brand the RE4/5 speedrun community and shilling it.
Re4 is a truly evergreen game. I've completed this game so many times that I've lost count probably sunk 300 or so hours into this game in a timespan of 4 years . Probably one of the few games that I'll play even 10 years later .
Zelda Windwaker is in a similar spot where basically the game is broken about as much as could ever be possible and now the only way to lower the time any further is with luck that would make even the gods of fortune blush.
Ehh novistadors are easy if you just use the shotgun to knock them back and you just run away from them The real cancer are wolves there literally one shots on the hardcore mode
@@kyleenguyen9590 the wolves for me are child's play. Throw a grenade while they're still in their cage, and walk away. The ones that do take longer to kill I just pepper them with fully upgraded TMP rounds until they die. Though the novistadors like dodging my shotgun shots and tackling me for some reason. O.o or the ones in the wild just shotgun then grenade lol
I like speedrunning, but I have to admit: I prefer RNG when I play "normally". A good game gives surprises to the player. I know speedrunners hate that, but I prefer surprises than "perfection". That's why RE4, from my point of view, is so good. Anyway, good video!
I like resident evil rng. It’s normally fairly smaller stuff like “this guy is right here now, have fun adapting.” The one exception I have is that one officer zombie near the east office, watchman’s Office, and fire escape. He can either be down the hallway, by the east office door, or literally in front of your face as you walk in. Kind of lame
I think the best approach is what A Hat In Time does. The game has no RNG, instead it has seeds based on collectables (though those seeds could be based on anything consistent). That gives the game a feeling of RNG when playing casually, but allows for consistent behavior when speedrunners are doing repeated precision routing.
I don't know why youtube suggested this to me but it was actually quite an enjoyable watch. Its fascinating how much there is to take into consideration with speedrunning!
true, but mostly in regards to how long a world record will stand. Here he's talking about a theoretical perfect run. Though a new skip or tactic to save further time might somehow appear from the ether, i suppose. certainly sound like a 1:20:xx Run will happen someday
I almost can't believe that a lot of this is random. Has it been proven in the code or with the use of robots that this is all completely up to luck? I don't mean stuff like "critical shots" of course, I'm talking more about sections like Del Lago or any RNG enemy sequence like the cabin. I feel like the differences come from the micro movements that come with being human, for example how being 1 millimeter away from an enemy compared to your last run can totally change how they act. I'd be interested to see a robot play this and see how consistent enemy patterns are while using identical movements for each section. I'm new to the speedrunning world so I hope this doesn't come off as a dumb question
some rooms do have patters that are straight up rng, lots of rooms however if you have perfect movement they will do exactly the same thing every time. It just really depends on what room it is, also you have to factor in human error wich can be boiled down to being essentially random, not all rooms can be performed so perfectly that you can manipulate the ai of the enemies. For the rooms that have been (solved) i didnt calculate for rng because its known that you can have percise movement to manipulate it. also i love your content if you ever want to learn more about speedrunning hmu
@@WaifuRuns Hey! Sorry for taking so long to respond, I didn't see this until now. Thanks for the info! Speedrunning is such an interesting concept to me so it's awesome to hear from a pro about how it works. I'll hit you up on Twitter sometime soon
OK, this video was pretty fucking sick. Amazing analysis Waifu, not to mention production was incredible and I could definitely use more speedrun content from you :D
I was happy of getting 01h58m on the Nintendo Wii. But man, seeing the amount of time, dedication, and understanding from speedrunners is something I could have never figured out all by myself. It makes my best run look like nothing. Mad respect to anyone who is able to get into the top 100 for this game.
They spend way more time playing the game than the people who take their time and enjoy the game only to stop and never play again when they beat it once or twice lol.
@@jasonZoo123 The fact that there are those type of people who hate a game because "it has no replay ability" don't know the meaning of replay ability.
@@skullcrusade3436 wow imagine trying to find purpose in your day to rephrase a word by its spacing lol. My phone automatically spaced them out like that.
Would love to see more speedrun vids like this. You're obviously very knowledgeable and passionate about speedrunning, and it shows in the quality of this video.
the moment when a game (2005) is so good that u can´t stop playing it again and again. .... i am not a speedrunner, but i finished this game multiple times (maybe 25 times) on 5 systems. I thought about trying a speedrun too. But i would be happy to finish this game uninterrupted without dying and checkpoint resetings...I wouldn´t be the fastest RE 4 speedruner, but it will be cool to belong to a group of RE4-feaks. One time i will upload a video too :)
New to your videos and these are impeccably narrated. I only watch speed runs and simply never get these kind of simple explanations of what goes into these runs. Great job!
You don't understand reality. People don't have infinite time to watch attempts. Most people just want to know who's the best because time is money and both are very limited.
@@issadraco532 I understand what youre saying. but if youre going to watch a stream just for what the streamer is doing and not for the streamer themselves. then you lost the whole point of a stream anyways. also your whole point could be said about people who watch sports. "hey i like this team so im gonna watch them every time they play so i can see them win" I find that sad too. but people can enjoy what they like. Also you know people make money on this stuff right. but these top people beating the records make enough to support themselves.
Felt like a 5 minute video for me, loads of details, and honestly super motivational, and with each execution I can see your passion coming out into the youtube content. It's something to be proud of. I feel like Yuushi would probably appreciate this content. Watching you speedrun RE4, it does make sense why you would spend so much time in Cabin. Great job, and looking forward to additional content from your channel.
@@shabr1ri They have a hobby? Or they are a streamer and make more money doing this then whatever work they have currently available to them for probably a third of the time spent.
Cool video man, It was really interesting/entertaining. I also enjoyed learning about the RE4 speedrunning scene a little bit as well. I keep being blown away with how well speedrunners break games down to figure out every little thing they can in order to get better times!
I LOVE THE JUGGALO REFERENCES XD You tied the "how do magnets work" into the Gathering room comment perfectly! I have never felt so stunned I literally had to pause and thought to myself "damn did he really just do that?" Go back and listen again and yup flawless! This video is really well done and you earned a sub, like and comment and don't worry I am also sending this video to 5 people who I know will have a good laugh when they realize why I wanted them to watch the video XD
I was scrolling through RU-vid and saw this video by you. I honestly couldn't resist clicking it lol. I love videos like this and appreciate the effort out into the metrics. Good work
Honestly, I think you have the best speed run videos out here. The side by side comparisons along with explanations are amazing. Much love and mad respect, brother! Subscribing right now
I've always wondered. When a new game comes out, do speedrunners hit the ground running speedrunning, or do they take their time and play it and enjoy the story, and then start speedrunning?
I got the bottle caps on my first playthrough, is it meant to be challenging? I just did the shooting galleries with a controller and used either the pistol or SMG.
@@magicmanscott40k I'm a PC player so usually shoot with KB/M. I would go in, do the SMG one, walk out and swap weapons, then do the sniper one but use the pistol. Then "finish" or whatever the option was. I seemed to get the max caps each time and it only took 4 shooting ranges.
I love this style of video, and I'd love to see more! This puts watching re4 runs in a different perspective. honestly videos like this and in general, runs being explained are what get me into a new game, because sometimes just dropping into a random stream with no explanation is overwhelming.
@@necropolisgames9093 Well, its the first video im watching of this channel, and i dont know the guy and if he has anything to do with WoW. But WoW Shadowlands is close to realease and Ion Hazzikostas a Dev of WoW, had interviews with some WoW Content Creators. I dont remember who it was particularly. but one the creators asked ion a question, and instead of answering it he basically answered with "how do magnets work?" lel
If everyone on earth played it, at least one person would get the perfect run. However, whether or not the person can make use of it is a different matter
@@vbgvbg1133 Not really. 8 billion people could play it and not one get this run. It's like saying that if you flip a coin twice then you would always get 1 heads and 1 tails.
@@7777777777e Yes, that "1 in 8 billion chance" only matters if you don't reset or reload a save and hope for a better rng. If you get bad rng, for that chance to be true, you have to restart the ENTIRE GAME, even if you make it perfectly but failed (or got bad luck) at the last minute of the game.
@@7777777777e 1 in 8 billion makes sense, because every run with imperfect RNG is accounted for by that statistic. The 1 run it refers to is the literal perfect run, with absolutely no need to reset due to RNG, which means any run where people reset at any point in the game, falls into the other category of the statistic. Theoretically, if the player was a perfect player that didn't make mistakes (impossible, but let's just assume), and everyone was such a player, we would expect one person to get a perfect run when the entire world played once. Basically yes, the odds actively change based on where you are in the run, but the overall probability doesn't care about each individual case, it only cares about the eventual perfect case given enough tries. It's expected value vs. actual
What a great video man, you broke it down perfectly, I only watch speedruns but even then I understood everything. It's funny 'cause when I was little I completed this game like 4 times back to back and thought the RNG was actually "the game not reacting because I was doing it faster each time", now it all makes sense!
Totally interesting that the chances of getting the literal perfect run are so low, it makes sense, but holy crap that has to be luuuuuuucky to even come close to. Seeing the breakdown of RNG in Yuushi's run showed how kickass his run actually is and how hard it was to achieve. Great stuff, man!
Very enjoyable video, you're very kind to Yuushi. Did you calculate all the probabilities by just trying over and over again on all the parts you mentioned?
This was a really well done video! I love watching others blast through like it's nothing in games I enjoy, but learning about the different outcomes in situations is super interesting. What a coincidence getting recommended this while trying to get a good time in the Resident Evil remake.
Great content! Really interesting, I hope you can do maybe more docummentary-style videos from other speedruns you know of. It's fascinating watching how you guys perfect your craft like this.
9:09 honestly I can barely get through this room on veteran only having a dozen or so playthroughs myself... I really couldn't imagine speedrunnjng through this room for thousands of hours. When you say it's a showcase of true skill, you sir truly mean what you say.
first time viewing any of your content, absolutely earned my sub. bout to binge the rest! great video, definitely would love more of this with any game at all!
oh wow, as a non-speedrunner I never knew that playing on the higher difficulties helps with speedruns because of the consistency with the AI. That's so interesting! Great video, although I am not a speedrunner, I still find it really neat!
I've never been a speed runner or attempted to speed run a game, but speed runners make it look so easy and fun, even though I know it's extremely hard. Mad respect for those who take their time out to do this
Great video! I love that you explained that waterhall IS mostly skill based, relying on game knowledge and adaptation, and not full of rng like some people strongly believe, I guarantee that all top runners agree that it isn't the worst room in the game at all.
Great video Waifu! Hope you keep dropping content like this about the games you run or even like "world record history" type videos as they're becoming very popular as of late. Wish you all the best brother stay safe
I’m randomly here. I’m a millenial that’s never played RE and recently have been playing RE2 Remake on my Steam Deck. I’m too big of a scaredy-cat to play it, so I’ve been watching speedruns to get through it faster. I went down a hole of watching clips of every RE game and… now I’m here. Thank you for such an informative video and all the hard work. This is what RU-vid is about; finding cool, quality content anyone can enjoy if they open themselves up to it.
feedback to improve : play all the positive outcome clips on one side ( for example left half of screen) and all negative outcomes on other , this way it is less confusing.i haven't played the game and i like calculating possibilities , so i spent pretty much the entire length of it focusing on which screen is getting rekt. that being said , your commentary was absolutely on point , timed "frame-perfectly". really enjoyed it !!
This is an amazing video and extremely well crafted. Really great content and enjoyed learning about Resident Evil 4 speed running and also of the amazing speed runner in the video.
i felt this comment in my bones. used to be 3k now grinding back from 2k and usually only lose when my team is useless or enemy smurf (but i suppose everyone says that lol) currently got 3.2k hours logged
@@Everest3000 I hope you hit your goal one day. My goal was 6k and I manage to get it 6.3k, after that just turbo mode for me. Less stressful and more fun.
"Speedrunners are one of the most dedicated people that I know." "Here is a list of probabilities of a gazillion events. It's not perfect accuracy, but I tried every one of these at least 50 times to get these numbers" Damn you people are as close to machines as humans can get. I couldn't even be bothered to get that second quote right. :D
Don't forget about the part where the do trial and error on breaking the game OR Analyzing the game's code so that you can **skip** the entire game, case in point, Gta SA and Vice City.
this was a really interesting video! RE 4 is a game i really admire and I love hearing all the information on it and the dedication speedrunners have for this game!!
bro I seriously said to myself that I wasn't going to watch the entire video but then I found myself watching it all lol it's crazy how you break stuff down and make guys like myself finally understand the world of speedrunners
This video was really really cool. U put so much time and effort into this video and it shows. I absolutely would love to see more videos like this (for like re2r,re3r, re7,eventually re8, maybe the last of us, silent hill games etc) this was super educational. I'm not a speed runner at all and I'm sure I am not alone in this but a video like this was extremely educational and really awesome to learn. Pppllllllzzzzz make another video like this! Doesn't matter what game! Thank u so much for all u do!
