Huge thanks to Keeps for sponsoring the channel! Here’s the link if you want to check them out! > keeps.com/Abyssoft

I appreciate the use of debug mode to create playerless shots of the levels.

I love how the title makes you feel like its wierd to have an unbroken old game lol

"RAM Storage" might be the single worst speedrunning trick name, it's like calling your trick the "Button Push Method" or some equally redundant name

Poor tails, his only speedtech is death

Sonic is going way faster than sega intended him to be

Was a pleasure to help out with this video! Sonic 2 is potentially hitting a new minute barrier soon (12:xx IGT) with all these RTA-Viable TAS strats. it's only a matter of time before that day comes. Just need most of these tricks strung together in one clean run. Great video Abyssoft!

for my set up you have to press right after releasing the spindash before pressing left. this makes you "speed cap." in sonic 2 if you hold forward while rolling off of a ledge it slows you down, which is necessary here otherwise you fall through the floor. thanks so much for covering this abyssoft! a 30 year old game having so many discoveries in just the last 2 years is unheard of and there is more to come

It's amazing how people can break games with such crazy inputs on their controllers, I find it so shocking and awesome. Meanwhile I struggle for >30 minutes to do the rabbit-door glitch in Mario 64... I love speedrunning!!

Really glad to see the Sonic 2 community, as well as Joey, eandis, Zax and Shore specifically getting the credit they deserve for such an incredible amount of progress made recently!

Abyssoft collab with summoning salt

Oh hey, it's that Sega video you promised me, and it didn't disappoint! I'm a huge Sonic fangirl 💖

When I was 9 or 10, a sunday, I woke up at 6:00 and start playing Sonic 2. With some pause, mostly involving eating (breakfast, lunch, tea break), I was finally at flying Fortress at 18:00. With 83 lives and 9 continues. I finally beat the game after something like 10 hours of gameplay.

20 years to break it damn that shows how solid of a game sonic 2 is

Love this video, extremely well done and edited to extreme. (Also I like the syncing up at 8:16)

The quality of your videoediting improved sooo much. Really good video :)

"Eggman you may have pissed on the moon but I have broken into the matrix and become moon and will piss on you instead."- Sonic 6/9/69

Mashed doing a bit where tails is on an level with Sonic like he usually does, to see his buddy ol' pal suddenly get haunted, corrupted, and going through walls in strange and terrifying ways

Your video production is so damn good! Fantastic job!

I’m so glad I stumbled upon this channel I’ve been watching all your videos! Great job! 👏🏼

Sega: We have blast processing. Sonic: Hold my rings.

a sunny Sunday, a new Abyssoft video, life's good

i'm surprised you only have 53k subs with how many of your vids have gotten 100k+ more views. honestly ur one of few youtubers who i look forward to seeing new vids in my inbox from. keep up the awesome work dude

Man sonic really said "Gotta go fast"

Really happy to see the Sonic 2 community getting the showcase it deserves. Nothing against the Mario speedruns, but it's time the Sonic ones had the same attention.

0:47 Ah, the sonic we all know and love...

Yo you put out such good content homie. Every video is a banger

Absolutely love your videos!!!!! Keep it up

this was a treat to watch i forgot just how nostalgic this game is to me

Sonic 2 speedruns are so cool. Glad to see you cover this 👌

Brilliant. Still to this day the best game ever made. I love seeing that people are still going hard body on this one. 11/10 would play again.

Great video love all the technical aspects of speed running especially a game like Sonic! Would also love to learn what the intro song is! Tried looking it up but couldn't find it.

Zips work like the clipping in the original Mario bros and happens do to the same thing.

I love that Sonic looks PISSED whenever he isn't moving. Very thematic.👍

0:07 **marketable plushie gaming** 😳😳

This is why I love gaming between the 80's & 90's.

I hope to see Lowbrow incorporate this into a skit

This is one of the best 1372 videos I have ever seen!

Finally, I learned how to do sv_cheats 1

He doesn’t say “Gotta Go Fast!” for nothing.

Awesome video, thank you

That plush doll is a really good speedrunner!

16:21 why im always laughing when sonic suddenly glitches 😂😂

That intro was just awesome

nice, can't wait for the Sonic 3 video

Nut clip 😳

its insane that the same year sonic 2 was broken was also the same year sonic 2 was released in theatres

Could you give a link to the song used in the intro? I went to all of Novadrome's links, but couldn't find it.

Speedrunners are just nightmares to SEGA

In sonic classic heroes wing fortress has a weird bug where you can clip through the fan as tails and discover an area

Friend of summerhays, great to see him get a shoutout in one of your vids :)

Tails: Sonic wtf are you doing?!?

idk why but seeing sonic becoming a glitchy mess at 0:44 made me burst out laughing

the spin dash trick is also a thing in sonic generations

Sonic 2, aww, that's... OH WAIT THAT IS THE ONE I GREW UP WITH!!!

Sonic 2006: it took new players 30 secs to get gltiched

as a part of gen x gamers, i appreciate the video and title.

That’s a real speed of sound

sonic using his speed from the boost games

It's amazing an entire speedrunning niche spawned from Sumerhays Nut. I'm impressed. Edit: I would try this, but i don't think i can master the "fast zip" method. I'd probably just brute force it.

when sonic uses his actual speed

Sonic figures out how to go mach 10 and fucking exsplodes

I remember accidently getting stuck in a wall in sonic 2 as a child and thothe it was the coolest shit ever

I pre order sonic origins just few more days untill its playable I wonder if i can do any of these wraps or zips on the ps4

what's great about Sonic 2 Speedruns is that the timer literally stops while pausing so you can pause buffer as much as you want

When sonic goes too fast

Gotta go FAST!

Lore accurate sonic speed

I played so much of this game!

I’m kinda lost in the tas/old strats/new strats with all those tricks and techs, makes it hard to see what really improved in the RTA runs. Maybe you could’ve take a bit more time at the beginning to show what a run actually looks like before diving into tricks. But I don’t know better and I really enjoyed the video, so I’ll just watch it twice. Great content.

You could say they were… “Up 2 it”

I have accidentally done a screen warp before in this game but I didn’t say anything about it because I had no way to prove it

Nice video

Subbed

Nobody could have predicted speedrunning would have become such a legit subculture. But there’s something very fun and relaxing about it. And there will always need to be ways to bring fringe nerds together.

plushie speedrunner :0

Is all the music by the same person on this video?or can we get a tracks used list?

Can you just like.. . Do a whole speedrun guide for the classic sonic games. I wanna speedrun s3&k bit can't find any really decent guides

Sonic the Hedgehog, so fast he can break reality.

I need the intro song name plewae

Damn, "if you're able to go past the left barrier you'll progress to the far right..." Powerfull.

What's the song used at 14:30? ~Red

Cool video

I thought it was sonic, 2 speedrunners

This isn't the sonic I grew up playing!

Is it just me or is "level/ screen WRAP" much less intuitive than if it were a "level/ screen WARP" Like what are we wrapping?!

Gave this vid a like simply because of the messed up Sonic image.

Gotta go fast

Greetings from Finland! Poika tuli kotiin🏆

When Sonic has achieved noclip levels of speed:

Actual content starts at 2:10

8:13 what song is this???

rosa jumpscare

I watched this at 1.75x because I... gotta go fast.

Couldn’t you just go debug and find the sign post and use that

scor12e502c42550184.... yeah somethin is messed up with that score....

If you took more time to explain how everything works this video would have been a lot more engaging. It's just too much information too quickly, by the time you're done explaining I've forgot half of what you said at the start. Having more visual graphs or text on screen to explain it could help. Summoning Salt does this really well, taking sometimes a bit too much time for my taste, but it does help with engagement I think. Love the content but I think if you take a bit more time for explaining tricks, and put effort into making your explanations easy to follow, catch on to you could do even better. Speaking a bit more slowly while explaining can also help

also screen wraps ur pretty on the head about for the most part, it is alot easier if the stage could in theory wrap around infinitely, but they are also doable on every stage, u just have to be careful about falling off the wrong end XD ive seen some crazy stuff happen with screen wrapping on just about every level. and that child known as hayes doesnt deserve a speedrun hack named after them because they didnt find that in 2020, that method has been out alot longer than they have been alive im sure, do ur homework man sheesh

Start at 2:10 ^^

We should never say never to Speed runs?... hmmm... Sonic will NEVER be faster than Mario with that Game theorist saying it's impossible unless speedrunners can break every Super Mario game time with Sonic the Hedgehog's time thus putting that theory into the fire with gasoline and a match.
