Gaining in popularity over the last decade, speedrunning didn't start out as huge charity events and several thousand viewer streams that you see today. In fact some of the communities started in the 90s, and are still going strong, which has led to intense competition and many world records, which is what we're looking at today, the longest held records in speedrunning history.

I like Jobst, it's such a shame that he's had to feel the wrath of Billy Mitchel's stupid lawsuits. Perfect Ace is definitely the all time best GE runner though.

Great video! Love this kind of content :D being from f-zero community I did not know we had that many crazy longstanding records, but legend is a lengend. I also have a 6k+ days WR in f-zero GX as well :)

@Jay-go4vw 3 года назад

Perfect Dark is missing from this list, and there's a few more things about Goldeneye. On Perfect Dark Karl Jobst held the WAR! Agent record for a total of 6451 days. 5864 days on the time 25 seconds. Switch over to Goldeneye, and Wouter Jansen held the Bunker 1 Agent record for 7010 days, Archives Agent for 6584 and Frigate Agent for 6558. Boss also has a high combined duration on a lot of stages, Runway Agent for a total of 6451, Runway SA 6640, Surface 1 Agent 6612, Statue 00Agent 6436, Cradle Agent 6428. These are only the ones that break 6000. Ther are more in the high 5000s. Back to Perfect Dark, on the DLTK side of things, The Duel LTK, set by ParagonX9 has reached 7038 days and counting. The Duel Agent is likely the longest standing uninterrupted record in all speedrunning. The record of 3 seconds has stood since Ben Gorman set it on July 20th 2000 (7525 days). Most people do not consider it a real record, because most people could likely tie it, it isn't counted towards the Perfect Dark rankings. LTK however, is considered a record.

@zealous4609 2 года назад

I know your comment is a bit old, but I have some "knowledge" to share on the "longest standing record" if you are curious... :) With actual proof, the oldest I could find is Thomas Pilger's demo of the first level of Doom 2 in 0:05.97 (UV-Speed). It was set the 30th March 1998. Likewise, it has a lot of ties, and the fastest known run is 0:05.14 by Dastan. A bit later in 1998, Thomas would also become the first to complete the first level of Doom 1 in 9 seconds (UV-Speed), but that one has been beaten a few years ago by 4shockblast (and a few others). Karl Jobst made a video about it if you are interested. There is also the first Quake where Markus Taipale set some "unbeatable records" in early/mid 1999 on E1M6, E1M7, E2M1, E4M1. Obviously, if you don't go by a full second, these are not records anymore. Therefore, it is a bit unfair to compare it with games like MK64 and such, which might have similar "longest standing records" if you take them by the second.

@btf_flotsam478 2 года назад

I'm also prepared to bet that there's a few WADs in Doom that have some long-lasting records (although, since the majority of WADs weren't around by 2000, the length of those world records is obviously not going to touch those of other games); the same thing applies to obscure games and categories in general, where no-one would care enough about the game/category to notice the world record from ages ago is still standing (take Achievement Unlocked 3, where the first submitted run stood for about seven years before the third submitted run knocked off over a quarter of the time).

@esotericVideos Год назад

Great video. Those linked explainer videos are pretty cool too. Thanks for sharing them as well.

@randomperson5579 4 месяца назад

3 Years later and the mute city 1 record still stands, with 10,634 days in holding the world record throughout the years as of march 4th 2024, or 29 years and 49 days, if he can hold it until January 14th(15? maybe) 2025, it'll be a full 30 years.

@Abyssoft 4 месяца назад

Given that Edward couldn't dethrone Legend, he's likely going to hold onto it until he has the thirty year streak

@piratepies5534 3 года назад

Yoir videos are amazing! I hope you get more views you deserve it!! Also, if I could make a suggestion, the dates for the honorable mentions were kinda hard to read, I think that something as simple as varied text color could really help with that :)

@MadaoJoestar 3 года назад

@sycophant8470 3 года назад

The idea behind this video is such a nostalgia boner for earlier games that had nowhere close to the competition of modern games, a run lasting for months in a game with 1000s of people running it is much crazier than a run lasting years with a handful or less of runners.

@kaeleklund6728 3 года назад

I'm not sure modern is the right word. There are tons of obscure speed games with tiny but dedicated runner communities and fanbases.

@psyjinx 3 года назад

KVD is a champ. There are so many cheaters in the speedrunning scene these days, it's surprising that a proofless record turned out to be a genuine testament of skill.

@gnardawgyt 3 года назад

I remember a few years back when I first heard of speedrunning and thinking to myself, "Why would anyone do this? What a waste of time" ... I still think that, have never speedran a game, yet I find it really, really interesting nonetheless. I watch a stupid amount of speedrunning videos but would never try it out myself. Only thing I can make of this strange personal phenomenon is that speedrunning has a lot of spectator value. I also like the idea of game-breaking discoveries pushing times lower and lower. Anyways, thanks for the video!

@lilsamyjohn 3 года назад

Why is it in days that's so confusing

@Abyssoft 3 года назад

As you start dealing with large times broken down into days or even months it's hard to conceptualize since a day only comprises a single instance of our large building blocks for time. If I asked how many days are in a year the answer is pretty straighforward, but if I asked how many are in 7 years you might have to think about it, since it's not a measurement you usually do when thinking about a time span of 7 years. Ar the end of the day it's a nice way to add some wow factor to these old records :)

@KanaevM 2 года назад

I don't think tied records should count for one person. Sure, someone set it first, but if it's tied by many people later - it's probably the limit, with nil chance of being beaten.

@dasmilekat5231 3 года назад

I think the reason why there are many long-standing DOOM and GoldenEye records is because they are timed using IGT. I don't get why they time by that, since it is only down to the second, and IMO it makes the competition in those speedruns less interesting.

@IllusoryMaze 3 года назад

I agree that it feels a bit artificial to have them included alongside games that time with higher precisions, but keep in mind this video also counts streaks, sometimes broken, as long-standing records. It's a bit confused in what point it's trying to make.

@thorin1045 2 года назад

they used the in game timer since that was present and somewhat harder to manipulate than any outside timer when they was popular first. Now they stuck with it, unless they want to throw all earlier records.
