Neon White World Record Progression: The Quest for Sub 30
Рет қаралды 12,988
Күн бұрынWhat’s one thing you can accomplish in half an hour?
There are many correct answers to this question: however, many young men and women will use this time to complete a video game. Some games can be reasonably completed within half an hour; others are games that only speedrunners would think to complete within that time. And one such game is Neon White.
Neon White is an incredibly challenging game to master. The game was made for speedrunners and Ben Esposito and his team over at Angel Matrix included intentional skips for players to find. But the strategies used in the world record allow you to skip even more than the developers intended. If you speedrun Neon White at the highest level, there are no breaks, there are no easy stages, and much like John Krease from Cobra Kai, the game will show you No Mercy. But, if you manage to beat this game in under half an hour, you might just be one of the greatest speedrunners of all time. This is the world record history of Neon White Speedruns.

Banger. The video has clearly been worked on for a while, which means that some of the info on IL WRs is outdated by now, but the Rush WR still stands! I just wanted to note that real quick. It's not a mistake by you, the game simply changed fast since the end of 2023. Very good to hear the past runners talk. More games should have videos like this.

I’ve seen a lot of people try to emulate Summoning Salt’s style, but you’re the only one that’s been able to capture the same level of storytelling as him; the interview section before the Twist Ending for example. Amazing video and a huge service to the community!

Man idk how i just found this video i ran quite a bit during the golden era,(had a pb in the 45s or so) and holy hell what an amazing game. I wish this game just had more content creation around it, i think it does have one of the highest intensity speed runs. and some of the lowest margin for error esp in hell rush. I remember watching a ton of azorae and trying to mimic the strats but could never even get close to consistant on them. but man it was just so much fun. once again amazing video hopefully more people flock to the game :D

Sensational job man. It's so awesome to see that you have such a passion for the game that you did your own version of a Summoning Salt deep dive. I love Neon White. It was my GOTY when I got to play it last year and my mind is boggled watching speedrunners knowing that I'm just thrilled to achieve an Ace medal or pull off a deathless run in Level Rush. I got recommended this on my KZfaq feed after watching streamer Joseph Anderson play some of the game and fall in love with it so here's hoping the algorithm brings other fans of the game in and gets this video some shine!

That was amazing to watch! I love Neon White so much and remember how this game came out of nowhere for me. I bought it, fell in love with it played over 100 hours and watched Azore so much crushing records. Everything about this game and the speedruns that came with it were amazing to watch and your timeline for sub 30 is a beautiful loveletter to this game and the speedrunners and runs that came with it. Thank you so much

Incredible video, YT recommended it to me kinda out of nowhere, and man it was a pleasure to sit through it. Love the game, and even though I'm far, far off from achieving times similar to what people do (although the in-game leader board for the whole game has me at ~630 which is pretty nice!) and probably never will, it was very nice to know more about things at the top. Thank you !
