i've legit watched this like 10 times. such a good run with the right amount of luck...it finally happened xD NOW PREPARE FOR YOUR HANDS TO DIE NEXT WITH BURTLETURDS!!!
It's hard to overstate how good this run is. It's more than a full minute ahead of second place. Not only does he nail every big trick, the run is also filled with lots of subtle but precise time saves, that on their own don't save much time, but added together save dozens of seconds. Huge congrats Jay_cee! Unless there's some crazy new discovery, this one is going to stand for a long time.
You have to grind at the game for thousands of runs; half hour runs where the worst RNG comes towards the end...constantly performing frame perfect tricks, movement manipulations to set yourself in the right position to do those tricks, and precise movement to try and get lag manipulations. Finally you get that great run, with the right RNG, but then comes the thing that most people would rarely be able to do: close out that run when your heart is pounding and you're nearly shaking. That quad floor drop in Dracula's Castle is four tricks in a row requiring 1-2 frame precision, and you only get one shot at it. This is why this run is so good. It's not that it's 100% perfect, it's that who in the world will ever do better?
Yeah there's some time saves but most of them are blob lag which is pure RNG, and you'd still have to get first-jump blob. I think this one will stand until and unless some new tech or skip is discovered.
Simply amazing run.. not sure how you held it together after winning the lottery. The fact that you just did better and better after that is a testament to your skill. Glad I was there to see it. GG
I was expecting eventually a sub 30 of like 29:58 or something, but nope straight to 29:47. I know this run and practice it, just about everything went right here. Damn greatest speed run to date.
Holy cow!!! You completely DESTROYED CV2 speedrunning!!! Watching this is watching history being made! Huge congratulations! 👏 You're a true LEGEND! 👏 WOW!
GG dude. Absolutely bonkers. I think my heart was pounding harder than yours. That was awesome as all hell to witness. Good luck on the next game you decide to master.
Man, I was there for the start - I'm in chat and a couple of the pokemon bits. Then I decided to go for a short walk and get some air and come back to chat and Jay Cee having absolutely lost their minds. Good timing on my part, right?
Everything with this run was phenomenal. Especially your face after the unexpected blob boost. No run will ever be perfect otherwise it would basically be a TAS run. You did it man!!!! Happy for you duder!!!! ~MarkyMark
It finally happened! I'm so glad for you man, i knew 100% that this year was going to be the one, huge congrats for the awesome speedrun you pulled off! The best one i've ever enjoyed! Thanks for showing us such exceptional skills and best wishes for the future! Cheers from Argentina! You rock Mr. Castlevania! :D (*wiggles away* lol)
What a sick video to wake up and see in the inbox! This is why you kept grinding after all those other “trash” WRs you have gotten over the last few months. Amazing run and congrats! Would love to see a breakdown video explaining all the strats used.
I'm so pissed I missed this live, as I've been watching him live all week and just missed this one stream. Damn. HOWEVER, this is forever the fuckbutt stream. Hilarious. Serious note though - so many small mistakes here and there, time can go down a lot (0.1s at a time) but you fucking KILLED IT this run for sure. Well deserved for the legend you are, sir.
sad thing is im here to figure out where to go i decided i was going to finally beat this game i loved so much as a kid but ive got dead ends everywher i can go ive got the blue crystal but no idea where to tke it oh man i forgot you could holy water in those empty buildings
Thank you everyone!
I hope this speedrun brings positive vibes to your day. Enjoy. 🙂
This is about the third time watching today. Positive vibes all around.
Sub meatspin 30
i've legit watched this like 10 times. such a good run with the right amount of luck...it finally happened xD
NOW PREPARE FOR YOUR HANDS TO DIE NEXT WITH BURTLETURDS!!!
it certainly makes me feel good to see this finally happen
Wait a minute........you have world records in Castlevania, Castlevania 2, and Castlevania 3, and only have 3.21k subs? That's a crime.
This is one of the best speedruns I've ever seen. Congratulations, well deserved man.
Wolf you can't just copy what I said during the run bro! LOL Truly was one of the best runs any of us have seen
WITH 1 HEALTH!!!

This is a near perfect run, the only way he could’ve done it quicker would have been to execute the death and Dracula glitches in less attempts.
20:38 the eyes after the blob skip lmao

This is probably the run of all runs. This should stand the test of time. Congratulations!
Agreed, tough one to beat

Congrats, that was a phenomenal run! That would make the ideal ending to a Summoning Salt video...
What an amazing accomplishment! That last exhale right before Drac says it all. Congrats JC on yet another mind-blowing run 🤯
Wait what??? Not only did you beat sub 30. YOU SMASHED IT WTF. GGs !
one of the greatest runs in all of speedrunning!
Simply amazing run.. not sure how you held it together after winning the lottery. The fact that you just did better and better after that is a testament to your skill. Glad I was there to see it. GG
He really won lottery ?

A bittersweet departure...
Long live the first sub-30.
Such a beautiful victory after such a grueling grind, you did it! No more boostblocking blob, its over. Congratulation!
Back to the CV4 grind for 31:0x. Congratulations, and to get a WR on your birthday
Faved just for his face at 29:54. That's gotta be the most intense reaction of pure, ecstatic, climactic relief I've ever seen in speedrunning.
I watched this live. Absolutely insane. Congrats man!
Man, I was there for the start - I'm in chat and a couple of the pokemon bits. Then I decided to go for a short walk and get some air and come back to chat and Jay Cee having absolutely lost their minds. Good timing on my part, right?
Congrats mano! Always fun to watch and enjoy on your stream! GG!
This run was brought to you by the letters J and C, congrats man, one hell of a WR!
Talking about Miss Piggy pegging Kermit 90 seconds into the run guaranteed a WR
So happy to have seen this live. Shit got real in the back half you just kept hitting it. Congrats, and I'm happy you can put this game to bed.
Really amazing run! Skipped the 29:5X and went straight to 29:4X. Happy for you to smash the wr
I'm telling you man, Jay is different, he's the real deal, congrats for the WR
Oh man just the run dude..... super mega grats on the new WR. Was really fuckin amazing
Congrats dude! May this forever be known as the Phuck(Fuch)Butt run.
Absolute legend! I am so happy I got to catch this live. No one deserves it more bro, GG's Jay.
Everything with this run was phenomenal. Especially your face after the unexpected blob boost. No run will ever be perfect otherwise it would basically be a TAS run. You did it man!!!! Happy for you duder!!!!

Dude that was amazing! Great job! Have you ever done a Sypha run on III?
Where's the Summoning Salt vid on this one?? 😁
GG brother. Been watching you for a while. Epic WR
This run goes absolutely crazy.
God gamer + a dash of luck = insane run
I love how about 10 minutes in how he locks in serious mode once he realizes the pace he is on.
sad thing is im here to figure out where to go i decided i was going to finally beat this game i loved so much as a kid but ive got dead ends everywher i can go ive got the blue crystal but no idea where to tke it oh man i forgot you could holy water in those empty buildings
What is your fastest transition time before chain whip? have you ever gotten sub 4:59? i saw 4.59.3 once in your runs is sub 59 even possible?
Yes. I believe 4:57 can be done if I go even harder on lag reduction strats during the walk to town.
G fucking Gs Jaycee! Insane run 🤯
I don't know if I have ever seen someone get quite so excited about going fast in a video game. :p
Congratulations!
Congrats on the WR. But I'll miss the CV2 music.
the first time this man seen a 29 and he fuckin took that shit home.
Amazing soundtrack!
Voting this as THE speedrun of 2023
Always nice to see a WR in a game of this caliber just get fucking OBLITERATED!
Congrats jay_cee on retiring the category...?
Amazing... GGs
