Sat area is so arrogant too. If he had done that he would waste it on God of War lmaoo.

@@kaytamurray - Arrogant? No. He knew his talent and skill. Plus, we're talking about nearly 20 years ago here. Everyone was an edgelord back then because gaming wasn't as big as it is now. People would get bullied for playing video games, as they were for 'nerds'.

I mean a dude who is dedicated to speed running on this level by himself probably does not have the best social skills

This is what a lot of people don’t get. It wasn’t “normal” to come home to a pc and game like it is now. The people that did were usually geeks/nerds who found tech and games fascinating. Those guys were the pioneers for gaming/internet culture but as you mentioned, their personalities weren’t so “ normal” so they were usually awkward or social outcasts.

It's almost like someone who would sit around playing god of war 1 for 12 hours a day would most likely be completely socially inept

could be worse, could be GWG pausing and reading that reply was... wow

@@deviantanomaly Dude, Satvara was acting like narcissistic asshole. Don't try to justify his childish behaviour with your imaginary version of how internet was back then, because you have a hard on him.

Interesting, that was my first thought, this guy seemed to know the game a bit too well, like someone who worked in the game would.

interesting :0

Cool!

That was my take too when I watched the videos. No way this guy found out a lot of those stuff so early in the shelf life of GoW unless he was a QA, a tester or part of the dev team. Some of the stuff he showed clearly indicates prior knowledge and intrinsic knowledge of how the game was built and the engine of it.

Even if that's the case, he still found a good amount of glitches in other games, the guy has a knack for finding glitches. But if he was connected to the development team or part of it, then yeah, it's not as impressive that he "found" so many, on the other hand, he did find glitches in other games, and found more glitches in GoW itself after a few years.

@@drifter1942 meh, heavily speculated, but never confirmed. though, i can get why people thought that (myself kinda included) just bc of the sheer amount of game breaking, insane glitches he brought to the table. but, i'm not at all opposed to the possible fact he was never a game tester and just found these all by himself.

A god among insects indeed

Ok

Kind of like the douche that said he could do Rush E better than someone who’d made their own composition and he DESTROYED it

still was an ass though ngl

do the best runners read the code of the game somehow to figure best glitches etc? ty.

It is a long ass game.

The 1:21 set by satvara is only IGT, and the timer within the game is pretty poorly implemented. It does not count paused times, deaths or cutscenes. The times we use on leaderboards today are RTA, the time in real life it took to complete the run. So yeah, nowadays the wr is way ahead of satvaras original run by like an hour or something

I think if he had stayed in the speed running community the RTA time would be under an hour

​@@GamingMaster3024he still has yt channel doing speed run

Judging from this video alone, GMG is the one who gives me the average reddit mod vibes, but ofcourse I shouldn't make such judgement without actually knowing more about him.

I thought of him as the Protagonist 💀💀

To be fair that guy wasn't near the same jerkness as Satvara and he never held anything against the original piano player he just said he could have played the piece better, his beef was with some random youtube comments that were calling him out to do better.

@@b1nary_f1nary Mediocre ≠ shit. Did you actually look at his comments?

Satvara may not have even been a villain and just someone with a social disorder like ASD. Nothing in this video implies a malintent. His paradoxical help towards the community and respect for GMG. His is only true lash-out was for not being believed and when you consider potential circumstances, it's entirely logical and reasonable. If you could not maintain a theory of mind and you knew that you had proof; it's likely all you could do to reason about how others think is project your knowledge and thoughts onto them. AKA assume everyone knows everything you do, why would he need to give proof, then be confused why people who have proof are doubting you. He didn't realize he had to prove it until he became offended by doubt that he didn't perceive necessary. A neurotypical may discount people and say things like it was only an experiment to humblebrag, but it seems to me that layer of manipulation is devoid in him. It was a legitimate fear he would be shamed for it. He just used proof and logic(from his closed-mind), all his reasoning is self-consistent/valid within small axiomatic systems. I think it likely, that through logic, he was attempting self-moderation when it came to considering the community at large and how there should have been a significant one. Someone with false confidence about their abilities wouldn't be trying to break it down in this way. They wouldn't simultaneously have offensive levels of confidence and the proof to back it up either. They also wouldn't immediately disengage from the affront when it was lifted. THey'd hold a grudge. I understand trolls often emulate aspects of this behaviour, aka social ignorance, but it doesn't mean everyone is doing it with manipulation in mind. Now it's entirely possible satvara was just a prideful skillful sunuvabitch. His behaviour just isn't consistent with that. It seems to me he's otherwise tolerant, only triggered when logic is offended, as it's his replacement for his emotional awareness. He may not be able to consider other's minds, but he said he held respect, he made guides, did things that were helpful. It seems that within some capacity, he cared for others. It doesn't seem there was entirely much attention seeking either, he just had fun playing and posting. Yeah pride was there, but it may have just been a social problem where he doesn't get it. "If I know 2+2=4, and you don't, why are you speaking to me about the next step.." From a purely logical and socially ignorant perspective, that could have been perceived as someone trying to lie or manipulate. Most of it sounds like he wasn't good enough for his perfectionism based in logical analysis, so when others wanted to speed up his times, he took it as if they were saying he wasn't perfect. Which, he previously knew logically, but it was emotionally filtered so that his perfectionism could handle it. Or when they tried to say good job without logical explanation, it's patronization. Maybe that patronization even stokes his own emotions in way he isn't emotionally fitted to manage. Maybe his emotions made no sense, and that's why he had to be logical. But also for the patronization, he saw that they hadn't been nearly as rigorous as him so he found the way to stabilize where his confidence lacks. Not saying he was right, but I don't think he's anything like a villain and I think it's honestly so wrong to characterize an individual we know so little about that way. I think he just didn't react on the same layers.

Not in 'infamy' imo. His contributions are too positively overwhelming

Literallllyyyy. Strikes me as a “woe is me, everyone in the world is stupid and bad, and I’m the only decent one out there and that’s why I have no friends”. I could be way off base but that’s really the picture he paints of himself to me

I know right? I mean c’mon! The biggest tell is that he is still pissed at Satvara for being better at the game than he is. He doesn’t respect the single and most influential person to touch the game that he managed a forum for. What a little beach he must be. Satvara also doesn’t seem that bad to be honest. Sure he was very arrogant when he was doubted but he had the skill to back it up and that makes it ok in my books to be arrogant.

@@co7769 "he is still pissed at Satvara for being better at the game than he is" But GMG isn't a speedrunner, he's a challenge runner, and the two categories are completely different. One is about breaking the game and skipping as much stuff as possible (essentially making the game into a goofy platformer), the other is about testing the limits of the combat system and see what you can do with it. This video in general paints GMG in a bad light but he's a good dude, just likes to troll unsuspecting victims (like ThaRixer himself).

@@co7769 first of all satvara isnt better than GMG at the game GMG is a challenge runner while satvara is a speedrunner GMG is way better also he did nothing wrong there is no beef between the two its just that satvara came off as arrogant which he did

Yeah weird. I never noticed how unpopular speedrunning seems for PS. It exists, it just doesn't have a Portal or SM64 big popular game

I do have a few theories as to why PS Speedrunning isn't as popular. The first is that Nintendo and PC games have been around for longer and were often the "de facto" games. For example, if you owned a NES at the time and wanted to try speed running, most of your options were Nintendo's own games. This meant the earliest speed runners played Nintendo and PC games which popularised speed running there. Meanwhile, because the PS platform came later, it has to "build its speed running scene from scratch" so to speak. The second is that many Nintendo and PC games often lend themselves more to speed running than PS games. Like, take Super Mario Bros for example. That game doesn't have an elaborate story or combat. Its main appeal is platforming I.e movement. So if a Mario Bros player wants to get more out the game, all they have to focus on is movement which normally amounts to playing the game faster which inspires speedrunning. In contrast, a game like God of War will take longer to inspire Speed runners because there's more stuff for a new player to focus on before they try going faster. Even if they replay it, Perhaps they'll first try mastering the combat or getting more out of the story. This is normally why the most popular speedrunning games tend to be stuff like Doom, Portal, Mario etc. Games which "trim the fat" and focus more on movement which is more likely to encourage speedrunning. Which is not to say God of War speedrunning isn't good. It is. Its just that it doesn't encourage it to casual players

@@FraserSouris That's a good point of view about it. Most PS game (specially nowadays) are focused on telling a story and speedrunning communities seems to like fast games more, which is obvious why.

@@FraserSouris Depends on what you qualify as a "PS" game. Western PS games haven't gotten as much love but the JRPG scene, which is very PS heavy given the size of the game pool in PS1 and PS2 generations especially, is decently popular even though those runs can often be many many hours. Twitch streams of FF games from 7-10 especially always draw some audience, though many of those are lurkers. 7+ years ago I remember watching one of the WR holders (Caracarn) and sometimes it would be many minutes between chat messages.

Iconic series of games. I remember when GOW came out and I bought it brand new in 2005. Rage quit about midway through (I wasn't very good back then) and then eventually GOW II came out and after beating it I had to go back to the first game. Amazing games. Influenced me and my buddies for years. And then 2018 GOW 4. It's nice to see the things you like really prosper like this. Cheer, my friend!

imo old games are a gold mine when it comes to game breaking strats because now we have tools like datamine and TAS

Tbf games like sm64 which have been out for 20+ years are still finding stuff to shave time off speed runs. So I wouldn’t be surprised if this game hasn’t even hit its peak yet.
