Hey all, it's Xem. I was so happy with how this run went down. Obviously, it wasn't perfect, but I achieved all the goals I set out to achieve with this run. I also didn't crack on the high G# at 10:30 am, so that's pretty damn sick as well. Shoutouts to all of you guys for the support over the years, and here's to more amazing runs to come
Legit criticism, I felt like you could've held the last "Vincero" for a liiittle bit longer, ends a bit abruptly, but I don't really care, you nailed that high note so nothing but love and respect here
The second bolt on Veldin 2 is casually done with the taunter. So you taunt that little frog to stand on the button and deactivate the gate. In my mind the only reason why you would need that weapon at all :D Btw not my favorite type of music, but still pretty impressive O.o
For an italian, hearing "Nessun Dorma" in such a great performance is amazing... you made me almost crying Xem hahahah, you have a nice pronunciation of the words (it almost seems that you're italian too lol) and an accent that fit in with the song. Anyway that was a good, interesting and entertaining run done with a nice and enjoyable commentary of a game that basically made my childhood (with Jak & Daxter too)
I'm fairly new to speedruns and I just have to say this is next fucking level. Seriously amazing to watch. Cheers for the amazing run xem! Speedrunning one of my favorite games of my childhood brings me much joy
Woah, the same Pyrocitor exploit on the final boss which I accidentally stumbled upon while Let's Playing this, kinda cool to see it used here and getting a little explanation to it, as I thought, it hits all of the bosses frames so the HP literally melts away.
woke up early just to catch this run. Really enjoyed watching, this actually got me into watching sgdq all week for the first time haha. loved the run Xem, great job bud!
Geez. Last time I saw this the Infinite Long Jump was only used in Quark's Base, and it was still considered really dicey. Watching Ratchet fling himself all over the levels is fantastic.
Tip for the pokitaru hover boat parts, just hang off the side next to the rear left hand propeller, the boat will still drive and the fish won’t jump onto the boat, figured that out as a kid I hated that part
at the end of umbris just after he got the infobot, there was the purple ship then he rekt himself to go back to the start and there was the green ship then when actually in space he's in the fat orange ship. I can understand the swap from green to orange since you're obviously not supposed to leave the planet in the green ship, but why tf was the purple one docked in there
I remember the first time I played this game... I got hard stuck at black water cuz I didn’t realize the hydrodisplacer path so went out of my way to grind all the way to owning a RYNO in black water just to see if I could break my way to quark
Was a little confused when I saw the title without AGB%. I was like I am pretty sure xem can cut atleast 20 minutes off of that without even trying on any%
Look at the guy on the first row seat on the far right at ua-cam.com/video/FnL6V0-rv_0/v-deo.html he can't decide between getting up on his seat or sitting down.

Xem you singing almost brought me to tears at work when I was watching this live
Great run as always, Xem. Great singing also.

Xem is the most funniest Speed Runner I've seen. Always amazing how fluent the run and the play-by-play commentary is.
You've clearly never seen Bonesaw577's agdq 2016 jak and daxter run
Plays games quickly, AND he can sing. Incredible.
Xem is my favorite runner simply because he's the only runner I've seen that runs R&C, one of my two favorite game series.
Here we are almost 3 years later and this run would still be a top 10 time. Absolutely nuts (and bolts)
5 years later it would be the number 27 fastest run, but xem still has the world record with an incredible 49 minutes and 30 seconds. Wow
Now all I hear is Xem’s split sound.
“H E S A T T H E E N D O F T H E L E V E L.”
Lee Nguyen *planet
It's also a level
@@SnackPack913 14:31
I love seeing Xem completely tearing apart my childhood game :')
20 years later... and this game still stands up!
loved the run and the commentary daddy, you made all of your viewers proud af xemmyLove
Ohhhhh, so this is where “he’s at the end of the planet” thing is from xD
i love how he still gets the cutscene of helga abusing him for doing shit on the obstacle course when he did it so fast

MrGuide Roma grande anch'io sono italiano ahah
Quoto
un po' ritardo ma concordo
@@riccardozilioli6338 con ancora più ritardo, però concordo pure io.
Idem ✌
"We have this saying, 'there's no such thing as a good run until you get past drex fleet'", really rolls off of the tounge, that saying
Holy crap an updated version of a ratchet and clank run from 2016 I have been waiting for one
Gameslacker I hope you're joking because this isn't the 2016 version...
according to the Ratchet wiki, "the guy" is just named "Resort owner"
Mah boi Xem
Never fails to entertain. Would watch live with a nothing pizza with left beef.
I'm fairly new to speedruns and I just have to say this is next fucking level. Seriously amazing to watch. Cheers for the amazing run xem! Speedrunning one of my favorite games of my childhood brings me much joy
Rented this from Blockbuster Video back in the day. Took me all of about 3 seconds to fall in love with the franchise. Still a huge fan.
Woah, the same Pyrocitor exploit on the final boss which I accidentally stumbled upon while Let's Playing this, kinda cool to see it used here and getting a little explanation to it, as I thought, it hits all of the bosses frames so the HP literally melts away.
Been watching you play for a while Xem and this is the first time I've come across you singing! You're brilliant
Really impressive to see all of this pulled off. Xem's muscle memory and coordination is ridiculous!
These gold bolt locations are kinda blowing my mind. I never found like 3/4 of em.
Having seen the SGDQ RaC run mentioned at the time of the tree clip, my jaw dropped when he got that first try. Like dang.
ya boi with the tree setup
TREE
I could almost hear the instruments when he was singing "Nessum Dorma".
Video game speedruns and opera singing. Old and modern culture in one video, so enriching. :D
woke up early just to catch this run. Really enjoyed watching, this actually got me into watching sgdq all week for the first time haha. loved the run Xem, great job bud!
Wow, that was beautiful...
Damn watching every RAC run since gdq 2012. They have improved a lot thanks to xem. Crazy this would be 2nd place WR if done by anyone else haha.
tfw UA-cam IDs this run with the 2016 remake of Ratchet & Clank
that breathing was on point
Geez. Last time I saw this the Infinite Long Jump was only used in Quark's Base, and it was still considered really dicey. Watching Ratchet fling himself all over the levels is fantastic.
This speedrun was alright, the runner would've done a lot better if his breathing pattern wasn't all wrong.
Yep
He's an opera singer; I'd be surprised if his breathing pattern was actually wrong somehow. 😂
I swear, RaC speedrunning is so interesting.
Yes there are a lot of nuisances it in.
Awesome run, Awesome performance at the end!
the video that introduced me to Xem :)
14:31 I've heard this so many times on xem streams xD
this blew my mind... would take me an hour just to do the first 3 stages
Configured One having the game be long for me to complete makes me play it longer. Which gives me more time to look at ratchet walking. Which I love
Always awesome to watch Xem speedrunning
Enjoyable watch, speedrun tricks are so wild.
Xem: Very experiences professional
Also Xem: Lemme do this cool trick real quick I don’t have to and it might kill me but trust me
I can't wait to get a new playstation just to play all of Ratchet and Clank again
this game looks so cool to speed run
Really hoped for an R&C 2 speedrun with all big bolts, but that has to do for now...
Shoutouts to the donation reader's sexy voice
Xem is such a cutie
You did gILJs up the batalia rail, I approve, this run can be considered valid.
Nano Hologuise
I thought only TAS could gILJ.
Up slopes, gILJs become a lot easier. The steeper the slope, the easier they are, up until they're as easy as regular ILJs.
Run starting at 12:26 (thank me later)
alright talk to you later then
I have no fucking clue what is considered a difficult part of this speedrun but I love the enthusiasm!
You had me SGDQ. I'll have to play this game again.
Ahhhhh, the old classic " and he's at the end of the planet"
Omg this game is my childhood I remember this from PSP days
So you played it on vita?
That was an amazing run, so much new tech in the last year!
Orxon 1 tree skip tho
I like that you only fight 1 real boss
Isn't it great?
Tip for the pokitaru hover boat parts, just hang off the side next to the rear left hand propeller, the boat will still drive and the fish won’t jump onto the boat, figured that out as a kid I hated that part
Loved the run and loved the aria :)
46:50 I thought that was an official thing, I thought it was legit to be able to long jump in the air
It is, many areas would be inaccessible without it
Your singing was really nice :)
Basso from Germany
Holy shit he can actually sing haha
what the fuck he actually killed the nessun dorma performance. props
at the end of umbris just after he got the infobot, there was the purple ship
then he rekt himself to go back to the start and there was the green ship
then when actually in space he's in the fat orange ship.
I can understand the swap from green to orange since you're obviously not supposed to leave the planet in the green ship, but why tf was the purple one docked in there

How long did that take?
@@CSManiac33 long enough for me to drop the game for a year, beat UYA Deadzone and ToD before going "oh thats how to do that"
One of the very few people qualified to sing at a GDQ.
Came for the gameplay, stayed for the opera.
This run is insane
JHobbs is the fucking man. That's the dude on the left beside Spike Vegeta. Those two always provide the best commentary.
Run start 13:20
Great Run!! Great group!!!
31:05 you're meant to go over the maze anyway haha
more speedrunners need to be active like them. Almost everyone else just sounds like their family fucking died
Sounds like your Nessun Dorma is a little flat... like... a minor third man. You really gotta work on that breath support
Damn I gotta make sure I practice my circular breathing for next time
Everyone knows that pausing to breath is for plebeians.
looks like you haven't mastered inward singing like tenacious D. get on it.
Man he is doing some mad shit with his controller
Awesome run
Props on guy singing in da end
Tankers c. That was the speed runner Xem
I'e never seen like 75% of these gold bolts lol this is really cool
The pokitaru resort guy's name is Felton Razz.
Behemoth King311 pretty sure his name is The Guy
He is Felton razz in the reboot
Blasphemy
Is anybody else wounding how long a no glitch run would take
XEM
Nice run fam.
Was a little confused when I saw the title without AGB%. I was like I am pretty sure xem can cut atleast 20 minutes off of that without even trying on any%
Should a just called it the Bacawk room close to the name and also a chicken reference lol
magnifico!
SPIKE!!!
Holy shit your voice is amazing
amazing
1:16:55 idk why but walls appear to be broken on my legit run
Emulator problem maybe
1:19:20 lolI could be the guy who found this. i never played a version without this Bug. Back thenI thought it was entended xD
What is the name of the guy that discovered the OP flamethrower glitch ?
That game is very similar to the new game for the ps4
I wanna hear about the amiibos
i hear the guy's name is felton razz
With all this terminology it sounds like they are playing tekken 7
Wow, R&C when it used to be good...
So what is funny about Jhobz' explanation? :P
Can someone tell me what is up with SMB: Forever? I can't find anything about it.
how did the song become an instive
Is xenu illuminatic part of this portal?.
wont the expired medicine still work?
Look at the guy on the first row seat on the far right at ua-cam.com/video/FnL6V0-rv_0/v-deo.html he can't decide between getting up on his seat or sitting down.
1:14:00 what's the name of the room?
