Yeah the speedrun definitely has some confusing to look at tech. I hope you enjoyed your playthrough of the game! Thanks for the kind words :)

It's an uh, interesting way of playing the game for sure :'). Thanks for watching, consider checking the new WR time for some more tech and a much cleaner run =D

Congrats on the 100%! I'm glad you enjoyed the game enough to go through with it. Thanks for checking my run!

Thank you man! So nice to hear from you again and appreciate the kind words as always.

It's called UpCC, or Up-attack Crouch Cancel. You cancel the animation of the up attack with a crouch, and just loop it fast :)

Absolutely, incredible game

Cheers =D

Thank you! And yeah, it's funny that it's the optimal strategy, just to BM the bosses

Thank you! I'm so happy with it.

I refused to end the night on a fail like that lol, thank you!

It's never safe until 13:2X

Thanks for the kind words! That's an interesting thing to note, thanks for sharing. If I ever try the demo again, I'll need to try it out. I most of the time avoid using the sword throw where I can, since it feels (I haven't tested) slower to go through the whole animation in most cases, rather than jump and dash.

Thank you, for making this game =D. You've done an insanely good job with the movement in this one, it's pretty much everything I want from a movement based game. The areas are fun to go through, they look great and the characters have charm. The mechanics are super nice too. I admittedly didn't spend a whole lot of time trying out the demo (just over 1 hour), so I didn't fully learn the mechanics. I had a lot of fun regardless. This also meant I didn't apply much learning to the fights, so I would take my criticism a bit lightly (if at all), I just learned enough to brute force through them. So I probably could've learned a little bit more of the fighting mechanics and improved on them. I am really looking forward to what you make of the game though.

Yeah, they'll probably be toned down on the full release

I didn't count it as a real one ;). Since it's a demo, and the plunge attack i-frames are stupid.

@@Zrylics Hey! Still counts!

@@muckworm If the no-hit man himself says so

Never

You should definitely try it, it's super fun

@@Zrylics you've been running it all day, I can tell ;)

@@xanathar8659 I need the sub 4, NEED

Cheers Xan! I'm sure it'll get yoinked again ;)

Thank you! I seen the video, thanks for checking it out :)

Cheers Cilo! I wanna see you on the Afilaor runs 😤

Thank you! I haven't grinded it, I expect someone will lower it by quite a lot :D

Cheers! It will soon be beaten ;)

Thank you!

Any% is just chaos, reaching one of the last items in like 7 minutes :D. Thanks for watching! Copied from another comment in-case you are interested- The game is mega broken on 1.0.6 version. The main glitches in order are - 0:00 Menu storage to skip first cutscene - 0:39 UpCC (isn't a glitch, but just cancelling upslash with crouch - UpslashCrouchCancel) - 2:42 IMC/Infinite Mea Culpa. It uses menu storage on screen transition to let you exit the mea culpa cutscene and infinitely use the altar to level your sword. - 5:32 Super jump (TPO speed on y-axis increases the longer you're paused in the middle of ledge grab animation) - 5:36 Menu storage then door transition into shop to store the main menu, which lets you load a save on screen transition to wrong warp - 6:21 Zip (super jump with collision disabled from climbing a ledge) - 8:17 Hover (pause before wall stab lets you hover) - 8:23 Item catch on lever (swing sword lets you interact with many things when TPO isn't actually standing at them) - 12:52 Death storage (exit menu just before TPO dies, this was the original method to wrong warp) It lets you load your save file in Escribar's room, placing you past the fight Rocher has an excellent video covering most of these in great detail in his 15:36 run if you're interested in learning more - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bbWcobllldeWemw.html You can also visit speedrun.com or join the discord through that for more.

By who?

Thank you! It's called UpCC or Up-attack crouch cancel. You do an up attack and cancel the animation with crouch. Refer to the keyboard overlay in slow-mo and it should give you an idea :)

@@Zrylics Interesting. Thanks for letting me know.

@@PersonGuy968 no worries at all. I have a much better run at 13:40 on the channel, which is current WR. In the comments there I have a brief explanation and a link if you're interested in any of the other stuff going on in the video! Thanks for watching!

Thank you! It was a fun grind (it's not over yet ;) )

It's actually now been beaten by BooUlc with a 41:49 I believe. Once I'm done my restricted grind, I'll see about sub 40 ;)

Its a 41:39 actually - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qs54pMKpldyuhX0.htmlsi=ZVx68zMvKhpjPEOU

Thank you! A lot of things break when we freeze time. Notably in this run, you can't get through the Mother of Mothers bell-door. So we have to unfreeze the game at that point.

@@Zrylics oh yeah, that should’ve been obvious, there’s a lot of idols and bell doors to get through MoM, my bad lol

@@slingshotwaffles no worries at all! I just love to see an interest in the game and the glitches!

@@Zrylics I’ve been practicing the elevation glitch, I really wanna try this run soon, the speedrun tech in this game is so insane. I was in VC with xanathar the other day (they’re another speedrunner for this game) and they showed me a ton of different stuff about how you kill the bosses and how you go through crimson rains and stuff like that, I’ve never been so interested in speedrunning before this game

That's amazing to hear! You should join the discord if you have an interest, it's available on the speedrun.com page for Blasphemous 1 and 2. We all discuss strategies and support each other. Xanather is a great person and runner too! I'm in their streams fairly often.

There are gonna be lethal and non-lethal categories for this run, so coming soon will be a run with the fight!

The miracle has given me this penance

Same! We collectively agreed on it!

And if Blasphemous 3 comes out, you know where I'll be

Thank you! There's still about 20-25s I know for sure we can squeeze out of it, just has to be insane

Cheers! Glad you enjoyed.

This version is 1.0.6, so you cannot change movement keybinds. I use r-shift for attack, up arrow for up and S for down. Rocher uses a similar setup but with Numpad0 for attack. It's not a glitch, you are just cancelling an up attack with crouch, hence the name UpCC (Up-attackCrouchCancel). You can do it in all versions of the game. For doing this route, you need to play 1.0.6.

Cheers, appreciate it!

Thank you! Yeah you can use the footage, could you just credit me though? Edit: You're welcome to use this footage, but there is much better footage in any of the top runs of this game, with more consistent and clean UpCC. I can even record you footage of a cleaner fight.

@@Zrylics Sure, of course! And would the 14:43 be a better choice? I wouldn't know, UCC hurts my hands and I can't do it very fast. Though if you recorded a cleaner fight, I would really appreciate it!

@@heyfrankevans I can record a clean fight, and I'll upload it here unless there's a way I can send it to you

@@Zrylics I think it'd be better if you upload it here (If that's alright with you, of course.)

@@heyfrankevans I've uploaded one you can use, it's much cleaner and has keyboard overlay working

Thank you! You pushed me for the sub 15, gonna have to get even cleaner for sub 14!

Yes mate send us a quid n I'll sign it

@@Zrylics would a Asda trolly coin work?
