Top 10 Accidental Skip Discoveries In Speedrunning #2 

Special thanks to P4ntz, Fog, SimonNaar, Amyrlinn, Omnigamer, Vulajin (as well as the entire Ori and the Blindforest Discord), DrTChops, Redmage08, Squrpion, and Shenanagans for helping me with the explanations for this video! EDIT2: How does 720p60fps look? Most of my videos are rendered 30 fps, so hopefully the video looks a tad bit cleaner. Can't say anything about the source videos, since that's a bit out of my control. I'll probably never use 1080p since majority of the source footage isn't encoded in it, so it wouldn't make much sense to. EDIT: Fixed a mistake in the video using RU-vid's video trimmer so there's probably a random jump somewhere in the video once it's finished processing. I can never go through a video without mispronouncing something I swear.

best accidental skip discovery? vinny from vinesauce skipping an unskippable and previously unavoidable cutscene by accident during a regular playthrough of conker's bad fur day.

I'm floored within the first minute. That A. Animal Crossing has a trick and B. someone accidentally found it.

did you just say zero-zero-seven instead of double-o-seven why did you do that

My favourite part of skips like these are the names the community agrees on for them. "Dropskip" for example is hilarious and brilliant.

Dude, I love the way you transitioned your RU-vid channel from low key (good) runescape content to awesome (brilliant) speed running top tens. Loving the videos keep it up.

You took the time to seek out the explanations and reported them back to us. Thank you, truly.

Ever thought about making a video about the top 10 times speedrunners accidentally glitch the game in a bad way that causes them to lose time?

EZ does the best compilation on general speedrun nowadays. Great job man!

People speed run animal crossing? Lol

Good job EZScape! Il love the fact that you take the time to explain a glitch!

Did you actually remove the part where you said 0 0 7

4:45 I like how this guy went from completely chill to super serious in a matter of seconds. Speedrunners are truly dedicated...

Top 10 most controversial moments in Speedrunning history!

Holy fuck someone accidentally found an ACE glitch!?

I've never done a speed run, I've never had an interest to but I really enjoy having you break em down for me. (specially when its games I loved as a kid, cool seeing shit I never thought about) Good vids m8 :)

I found an accidental glitch in Minecraft, I think I got a tick perfect hardcore world deletion relative to my death timing, causing the game to continue running on the title screen and me able to see the results on the options page and world creation GUI, no video, only screenshots though, because of the game state I was able to do in game actions such as f2 for screenshot, which still showed the GUI

The fact that you concisely explain each one and have clearly done a serious amount of research is so cool to me. These kind of "top 10" or compilation videos get a bad rap because they're so often poorly researched and written. Kudos on showing what the real thing should look like.

I enjoy your videos, keep it up :)

I love Speedrun, it always fun to see how fast a game really could be finished or how dedicated some people are to be the fastest.

All your videos are amazing, keep doing what you're doing man!

Speedrunner: I just saved 20 seconds omg! *proceeds to sit there in shock losing all the time they saved*

*NEW DRINKING GAME* Take a shot when you heard what!

I'm glad I saw Ori and the Blind Forest. That game was so good

i really enjoy these. good work my dude

He saved a few seconds removing the 0 0 7 part of this video. That's dedication.

Thanks for explaining the discoveries rather than just playing the clips!

Glad to see Halo pop up on this channel and in this vid. ^^ There's a bunch of more impressive accidental finds in the Halo series, but sadly (and I guess it's the case for many accidental finds), they don't all have footage of the moment of discovery... For example, in Halo 5, while having fun exploring the last mission and experimenting pressure launches and out of bounds, Distro (WR holder) and I found a way to climb on top of the last room and then drop under it (where the end cutscene is located) which triggered the very last loadzone before said cutscene, skipping entirely that last room filled with enemies*. This skip needed 2 players, but after a week or two of experimenting, another runner (Nibre) found a way to do it solo (which was even faster then the coop strat). This skip was one big discovery since a bad execution would still save more than a minute over a good "old strat" run (IL WR dropped directly from 8:39 to 5:39 in Legendary and from 6:43 to 5:37 on Easy -- latest WRs are respectively : 5:11 & 4:58). *That room already had a skip, but you needed to bring a warthog (car) in it to clip through the floor (which was patched in a later update -- because of abuses of this glitch in PvP), and before entering this room, you had to destroy a bunch of power cores across the map to open the room (and that's why the skip had been named core skip). ___ There's many more skips that were found more or less by accident in the Halo series, but I wouldn't be the good person to explain how they were find. Also if you're ever doing a Top10 most ridiculous (bossfight) skip, look up "warden skip" for Halo 5. ;) But yeah, I don't know if you'd read that huge block of text, but if you do : Great vid as always ! I really love your content so far. :)

This guy deserves more subs. He seems like a genuinely good guy. I hope you have a beautiful life too :)

This channel has become a blessing during quarantine.

I'd love some accidental discovery videos that go over really cool stuff that may not be useful. Lots of cool glitches out there with no practical purpose.

These are really nice videos. The language used is basic enough that someone who is new to the speedrunning community like myself can really enjoy and understand it. I really look forward to similar videos if you can find the footage :)

Because I misread the title the first time I looked at it I got a great video idea: Top 10 Anticipated Skip Discoveries in Speedrunning. Like skips that have been speculated for a long time, but still aren't possible, maybe because just a tiny thing is missing that would make it possible. For example Barrier Skip in Wind Waker etc.

6:10 god damn it piccolo. For your information, i still haven't used my most fantastic move yet!

First I was like "oh, another shitty youtbe-channel with top10-videos and clickbait titles is recommendet to me and it`s about speedruns... but let`s watch" and than I realised you do a good job which great research and a lot focus. Great jon, and you know what? Have a beautyful live, too!

Yo your channel is blowing up! Heck yeah, well deserved your videos are great!

Funny story, I used to very casually run a game. There was a skip for a boss fight where you essential skip a portion of the bossfight where you can't deal damage. After a haitus I came back after the fast kill was patched in current patch, but got fast kill anyway. Basically my slower way of doing the fast kill enabled the fast kill whereas the latest patch fixed it the way faster runners were doing the boss, accidentally rediscovering fast kill.

the audience's reaction to that gdq skip was hilariously ominous-sounding

Oh yeah! The video I originally subbed this channel for! =D

Hey man love the videos! Keep'em coming!

If I were ever a world class runner and something like this happened I would do my best to not get distracted because it may just be the free boost I would need to PB.

this video was the first time i have seen or heard of "ori and the blind forest" i loved how it looked so much after watching this video i bought the game. i hope to play it asap.

Thanks for the awesome upload. I adore this series. Look forward to another one, even if it's not in relative time. Have a great rest of your day. :)

EZscape, these videos are really enjoyable and I hope you make a lot more.

Your videos are always really entertaining, keep it up!

Im in the vid o: Thx for featuring !

as part of the destiny community it was really cool to see Professor Broman on here! (He's one of the biggest destiny streamers)

In my very first play through of Borderlands 2 me and my husband accidentally did the similar sequence break. During the same part of the game we some how we ended up in the area Sanctuary was supposed to reappear in skipping several areas the game wanted us to go through. If it wasn't for side quests I would have never gone to the fridge in my first play through. My husband already beat the game in his solo play through so he was freaking out the whole time!

I remember watching Broman and his crew finding that skip, his reaction was priceless.

most speedrunners: WHHHHHATT? 4:05 touval:.......oh..........that's possible.

I fucking love these videos and always forget about them until I rediscover them

Thanks for featuring my video :)

tfw you find something just after you stop looking for it.

I didn't know about that Spyro one. You can use that to skip Moneybags, too, and it'll be much less risky than the current method.

I love these videos. Please keep them up. :) It's really interesting.

The guy racing at AGDQ literally drops his controller in shock.

WHAT. WHAT. WHAT.

Congrats on 300K!

i found a skip in spyro where you could swim through a wall and swim under all the way back to the start of the world (my memory is foggy on what everything was) and if you swam against the ground in this certain spot you could get right to the last boss of the game, it was nuts

The funniest thing is that the final glitch was banned from regular speedruns of the glitchless%. Recently the pokemon community realized Gen 1 is a glitchfest itself, and the glitchless category was modified to use minor glitches anyone can perform like that one.

If you ever do another one of these, Bop Boosts in Sonic Heroes is one that was found on accident, and it saves SEVERAL minutes over the course of a run.

I'm surprised you weren't more excited to talk about Spyro

That Gen 1 machop sprite at 14:47 is a CURSED IMAGE.

Oh my god I thought you said "dirty an Aryan memory", and I was like "man this game's got some fucking TENSE lore!"

I noticed the outro background was from spyro. I love those games.

2:40 I FUCKING LOVE JAZZ JACKRABBIT!

If you ever have enough to make a third installment of this video, there's one we have for Luigi's Mansion speedruns called "Map Glitch" Discovered by MichaelT00, I don't have the discovery video on hand, but I can easily get it for you if you'd like, as well as an explanation as to how it works, and how you can set it up yourself. If you're wondering, Map glitch is a glitch that through a setup of using a text box, soft-reset, and opening the map, you store the map being open, while resetting, and essentially locks you out of opening the map, saving around 0.3 - 0.4 seconds for every key in the game (because keys usually force you to open the map, making you have to mash B to close it) and 7-10 seconds in a full game run

Why am I addicted to this channel

Here is another accidental "Skip" In Duck Life 4 (Yes I speedrun Duck Life) EddieSaurus found a way to clip out of bounds in the second running minigame. this is only used in one category (that we made after this was found) this skip led us to look more into the game, and now we have All Races which is a 10 min category. Not really a skip, but do with it what you will

Another great video, keep up the good work!

hey ezscape, I love the video! keep it up! I watch all your videos!

I can't believe that Broman found a speed running glitch lololol

*video starts with footage from one of the best moments of the sm64 120 star TAS* this guy, man, he knows the good shit. (I hope they make a new TAS one day. The ILs are getting improved here and there with PU traversal, but consoles crashes must really make it difficult to verify if it all works.)

yo you got professor broman in this thats awesome I did not expect that lol

touval is the mastermind behind gelato beach skip in super mario sunshine

A while back i was speedruning Dead Rising 4 (for the memes) and i somehow managed to make frank skip all of his dialogue for every case after the first (minigolf night) i wasnt recording though so i tried for hours to recreate it and was never able to. It saves like 10 or 15 minutes on a 2 hr run which is an absurd time save. Maybe one day ill figure it out...

I remember that once while i was playing with my cousin i discovered a flying glitch on Unravel 2 ._.

Omg Jazz Jackrabbit. I remember finding that skip as a kid. Didn't think it was a big deal, but now I guess people speedrun the game? lol.

You're fucking bad ass. Keep it up, I find your channel so intriguing.

Probably you won't see this since it's an old video but the link to the outro shows the video is no longer avaliable

9:00 this glitch is so complex it took IkeWolf a whole hour to explain how to do it

Wow. I haven't seen Jazz Jackrabbit in a long damn time.

Man, remember when Broman used to speedrun games? Good times.

In note of Blaster Master I discovered a glitch with the game's cartridge, where zero enemies (including bosses) will spawn, leaving you to free-roam the entire game. I don't know how to duplicate it because I'm certain it's because my old NES has a rusty cartridge reader.

Awesome video man. I get so stoked when I see you've posted something new!

But that's how I allways killed the second generator in Jazz Jackrabbit, and that was 15 years ago! Are you telling me that was not already known to everyone?

good work pal enjoying the videos keep it up.

4:52 makes me feel like I'm in trouble

Couple of days ago, someone discovered some unknown content in donky kong 64, by finding an extra rainbow coin. This game has been out for over 17 years and something new has been discovered. I'd love to see a video on this subject. This extra coin messed up a lot of speed running categories.

10:10 that’s my favorite game NOSTALGIA

That's never happened before.

pro tip for speed runners, in Legend of Zelda: ocarina of time, you can move faster by rolling. Yeah i'm something of a hidden master.

"zero zero seven" omfg

in case anyone is still watching in 2020, in the animal crossing glitch from what I can remember of it he's sent to a beta world, like an original testing kinda thing? there's random villagers with messed up dialogue, if I find the video I saw this from I'll name it

What song is playing at the end? I know the outro is linked but when I clicked on it then it says the video is unavailable

Quality vid man, keep it up

You forgot one about MK64 when Abney was doing frappé snow land

i really like the frog animation at 5:42 is that the players or in the game or what? thank you

Ill be honest, im pretty sure i did the Halo one years back and didnt even realise. Mostly because i went through the game again later and was always confused as to why there seemed like more dropships.
