Literally though! The discovery of reverse BitMagic seemingly shaved off about 3 times the amount of time saved by all the other Bit techniques, if I understood correctly.

bruh this a channel of 4 different speedrunners, and the narrator is a *legend of zelda* speedrunner

@@lotuslyrik well, for me it was just a KZfaq recommendation, I haven’t seen his other videos

@@rage_2000 i had a woooosh Feeling till i saw this comment

“This glitch requires your stupid cousin to press a button on a second controller at least 6 yards away from you. It’s the real tool assisted speedrun.”

talking about weird hardware glitches. One time I was playing super metroid on snes and my bedroom was a pretty small laundry room sized room. Power cable came loose a bit so I went to push it back in (I was at the start of the game). It cause the power on the snes to flicker but didn't shut off. Had the power bomb icon appear but zero bombs. Played through the ridley scene and got to the ship on planet and when I saved power bombs kept going up until they hit a 99 state. Never recommend anyone doing it for obvious hardware damage but it was interesting.

The fact that Wii modding was first discovered by jamming tweezers into the console means that this isn’t even impossible

LMAO xD

Actually this is not too far off from some techniques of older consoles for specific game speedruns 😂

Lmao

Bruh

@Aaron Allen I can't believe people can LINK these shortcuts together for a speedrun.

lmao

@Aaron Allen S i g h h h.

Isn't that the plot of Indiana Jones

Exactly, it feels amazing watching these and getting to see them go "Everyone was stuck on what to do, until I broke the whole thing wide open"

This man made this video just to flex on us all... respect

@@judgment5090 not really... this channel is made up of like 4 speedrunners that each create videos for it... he was assigned this particular subject and it happens to involve himself.

@@SPFLDAngler I wouldn’t say that it “just so happens to involve himself.” I think it’s pretty obvious that he spoke on this topic because it is the one he has the most personal experience with, and him being this video’s narrator is largely dependent on the fact that he played a major role in it

@@puffena9013 yeah i think either pointcrow or smallant did a mario odyssey vid on here and he was like I GOT IT DOWN TO 5 CAPTURES

Honestly it can barely be called a speedrun. Over an hour into the run and you're still on the Title Screen smh

Meticulous.

That would've been massive in terms of storage space. I think it was in Wind Waker HD where a single, few mins long video took 2/3 of the space on the disc. There is a reason these sequences are done in-engine.

@@HappyBeezerStudios Wow, I really didn't think I video took up that much space. The more you know, huh?

I think Nintendo skipped the entire problem by making BotW's title screen a static image. No real time cutscene, no pre rendered cutscene, nothing.

@Interstate Puerto Rico But they don't use Back In Time

Interestingly (how wrong is this?) there is a video file for the title screen in windwakers gamefiles.

The difference between dying because you're bad at a game and dying because the game needs your permission first.

@@Wote89 That's quite a bell curve.

When a glitch makes every other strategy obsolete, speed runners will usually create a separate category where that glitch is banned. You can get the best of both worlds

phineas and ferb ride again has lots of taking damage during the normal levels to skip parts of the game

Doge....Doge never dies.

When speedrunners discover glitches in the irl physics engine and start wrong warping to 5 minutes ago to set up a paradoxical premade save file so their future self can win before theyve even booted the game

So beating the game before starting the game

The glitch's name would go full circle

Why wasn't that tried immediately?

@@sirsmellybottom7480 if you watch the video, the hex viewer in dolphin emulator only came out in 2019, so gymnast was the first to use it and do research. Also, hindsight is big, just because it may seem obvious to do that now, the infinite other possibilities of things to try have to be accounted for as well

@@yourmomsboyfriend3337 a perfect explanation like the explanation of the glitch

THIS Is why Speedrunning is an art of its own!

Literally both galaxy brain, and something a 5 year old could say. Out of the box, outright devil's lawyer thinking at its finest. The same troll/hacker logic also came into play when they realized that they could travel out of Skyloft within Back in Time and get the Flag 62 trigger somewhere else.

There are... Infinities... That are bigger than other infinities...

your world is 100% corrupt

If you load a corrupt file you get cheap car insurance.

That’s definitely a very corrupt file.

heh, for me it was "if you load a corrupt file" *Link dies* *ad plays*

could also be the name of a cryptocurrency^^

I found the whole thing badass too tbh. Now imagine the author of this video thinking of himself as one of the few speedrunners to have mastered both BitMagic and Reverse BitMagic... He's a Bit-Archmage!

Still a fan of "Wet Nut Jump" from the Minimum capture Mario Odyssey runs

Reverse Bottle Adventure is hard to top though

They could've called it cigaMTiB

Same. Same. I feel you.

@@GGorsty Underage

Why on Earth haven't you played the game? It's great.

Same. I really want to play it now lol

I relate.

I’d say a gym is kind of a staple of 3D Zelda game speedruns, you can’t go too far without stumbling into him. Which is a good thing, because his narration is so chill and entertaining at the same time :)

Gymnast and Linkus7 are honestly two of my favorite runners because of their chill and informative commentary, you should definitely look up some of their GDQ runs and streams

I watched his entire skyward sword 100% run of GDQ, entertaining all the way through a 6 hour run. I’d recommend checking him out

If you enjoy his lowest percent videos you should definitely check out the "elusive glitches" series on his KZfaq channel!

@@Loop_Kat Or their Zelda Wind Waker 100% Randomizer Races, it's so cool and 8h long ;)

Just the one parallel universe. The title screen.

Now take a look at the mario 64 tas, which actually does have parallel universes, teleporting between them and more.

@@habaranagiko i think that’s the joke :)

More like "To speedrun the 3d Zelda games, we need to talk about Time Travel".

Half an A press gang

Yes, my lord.

it depends sometimes speedrunning just turns into a game breaking glitch fest with no actual skill (depends on the category of course) but i personally enjoy those the most where people are just extremely skilled and knowledgeable about a game and manage to speedrun it in a "proper" way

@@chickenbob562 depends on the glitch, it can or not be rewarding for the runner

There is a glitch in ALttP that fcks up the game entirely. Like, killing music and colors and even causing hearts to damage Link instead of healing.

@@pcou715 boomer idiot stolen comment moment man bruh

I'm pretty sure they use hex

I think it might be a deliberate double entendre between the two meanings of "bit".

@@soyeahsauce hexadecimal is a way to display binary data.

15:28 Shows that the flags are supposedly stored in the memory range 805A78D0-805A78DF, which obviously holds 16 bytes. Although, I'd guess that many of them are unused but still allocated to some random pointer for conveniance. Based on that, there would be 128 flags available.

I agree- the story is great, the characters are very fun, and the art is gorgeous

i never knew that game even existed

Dude It was that like one those games that I played when I was a kid but just forgot about about it. My story with this game was that I got this game in around December 2011 when I was like 6 years old but couldn't play It because young me thought that the Wii motion plus video meant the game was broken and I thought the music CD was the actual game. I was young alright, so because of this I couldn't play the game until a few months later when the game worked (possibly the video ended one time I booted it up). I then played it, enjoyed it, and then I didn't come back to the game for another two years until I learned about BiT. Then I came back to the game here and there and just gave up and went play other games instead and forgot about it. After I rediscovered the game after watching gyms streams in and around 2018 I became interested in SS again. My thoughts on it are that yes It's not the best zelda game I played I mean there are other games I liked more then SS. But overall I still enjoyed skyward sword now that I'm much older and even I didn't have a problem with the motion controls and other waggle events in the game when I was younger. Overall to me SS is a good game, I'm not saying that it's great or that it's the best zelda game ever. To me at least it's just good.

But god I do love the glitches that the game has to offer. This is probably the best Zelda speedrun game I have ever seen and this just makes me like this game a little bit more.

I actually like SS more than BotW.

Ok, but what about Skyward Sword? Oracle of Ages? They're no strangers to time travel either

People who played OoA and SS: *"we're also four parellel universes ahead of you"*

You also time travel in SS.

Majora's Mask literally contains an intended Back in Time lol

BiT in OoT means something different, which often confuses people.

@@wizardsummoner9124 When I think of BiT in OoT, I think of OoT3D's warp to the title screen, and the "Beta Quest" cheat code.

@@mzxrules It just means going back in time and become a child again. It's used as an abreviation in routing, "BiT Bingo Goals" that require forest temple, that kind of stuff.

Honestly at this point I wouldn't be surprised if the speedrunning community knows more about the game's code than the actual developers.
