I stand here as one who spent many years as a QWOPer in my early school ages. I come to tell you and any others of the new age who have uncovered the relic to turn around, and close this tab. Close this tab, and all the other tabs you have open and filled with youtube videos of other QWOPing techniques. And for the love of all that is sacred and holy, close that godforsaken QWOP tab. This game is highly addicting, and yet there is no enjoyment involved in it. I managed to escape it's grips, so can you, brethren. It's calls are tempting, the urge to relapse becomes almost unbearable at times, but we must persevere to escape this cursed game. This nightmare. This hellscape we call... QWOP.
@@potat6497 for me he just leans backwards and that's it. No rocking or anything. Maybe you're using a different version? Maybe it's different on mobile? idk that's all i can think of
This strategy works out pretty well. I was able to march the full 100 meters. I'm still practicing running but so far, my best while running is 51.9. UPDATE: Finally able to do the full 100 meters while running. New best is 101 since I was able to do the long jump at the end.
@@dolphinc1098 no this also happens to everyone. The character just launches upwards while leaning backwards, which makes him do half a flip, before landing directly on the top of his head. This tutorial fucking sucks
Ha ha. Most of my other videos are about Assassin's Creed (something I do know a thing or two about). Hey, hawaiidispenser. Do you live in Hawaii? I'm in East Honolulu.
The Hidden Blade I'm in Honolulu too. It's cool to see a Hawaii broadcaster making videos not specifically about "Hawaii". Unfortunately, I don't play Assassin's Creed. :) What else do you play? I just finished Portal 1 & 2 a few months ago (I missed the boat when they first came out) and now I've moved on to GTA5 and ARMA3.
hawaiidispenser its good. I mean its a show too (I think it is?), but trust me, from my blurry memories, I loved little stitch. (It is for little kids kinda though)
Oddly, I found that different browsers can actually affect the game. When I tried doing this on Chrome, that first step just never worked. Instead of that sort of quick lunge that gives you the initial momentum, like in the video (where the guy's foot actually stretches decently far past the starting line) he'd do this sort of funky slow movement, and his foot would always land barely past the line... and he'd inevitably end up flipping over upon doing the next stride. After like 20 minutes of this I switched to a different browser, and saw that now it'd give me that first movement exactly as in the video. So... that's weird. Still, I got to 25 meters pretty fast.
Same on firefox, on firefox ,and I presume google chrome, I noticed a decrease in gravity strength (compared to microsoft edge). I was able to actually be good at qwop with this method in microsoft edge because of that.
to all you saying this doesnt work: the creator/creators of QWOP changed the physics a while after this video. please check the release date of the video before you go and hate it.
Thank you, UltraStorm. I wasn't aware of the algorithm change. Sure enough, when I play QWOP online now the marching doesn't seem to work the same way. The good news is that running hasn't changed. If you still have the downloadable QWOP for desktop then you can learn to run by marching first and then transition to the online game.
Thanks. This will probably be my only video on QWOP. I noticed that there were a few good players on UA-cam and a few who explained how to play. Unfortunately there was no overlap between these two groups!
Every time I do my left stride, i kick my leg up but all of a sudden, my whole body flips upside down an I die. I still haven't been able to get pass 3 metres because of this. Can you give me some tips to help me?
Thank you. I mostly get negative feedback on this video, probably because QWOP has updated its game mechanics and marching doesn't work like it used to when I recorded this.
When I play QWOP these days, which isn't often, I do the running move just as shown in this video. They changed the game mechanics and marching no longer works, but the QP and WO chords are still valid. With 10 minutes of practice I can reach the hurdle. That's usually when I get bored and move on.
ok im gonna see how this does. first tried the march. i got to almost 10 meters, which is better than last time second tried the march. i end up falling backwards before 10 meters. still need more practice, but works well third tried the march. i cant even move anymore? 4. cant even get to 2 meters 5. tried being more patient. cant get to 5 meters. 6. 2 minutes after 5 i broke 10 meters ;u; 7. its been about 8-9 minutes. i got to 9 a few times, broke 5 usually. it varies. i make a lot of small mistakes. i need more practice, now is break time will update soon
I just can't do it the only way I was moving was I ended up with one knee on the ground and the heel of the other foot down then I slowly scoot through pushing the hurdle the whole way
I found myself doing it in an automatic looking for the clutch. God knows how you're supposed to drive those automatic cars they're supposed to be easier but they just don't make any sense to me whatsoever. Manual transmission all the way
11.1m is my Personal best, not by running though, I can get my Qwopper to do the splits and then just use Q and W I can shimmy him down the track for a while. "It's all in the thighs"
I won by doing a split and using my toes to tip my way to the end. If you're wondering how I jumped over the final obstacle, I didn't. I stretched my toe to the end while doing a split over the obstacle.
WO works when you take one step but anything you do after makes you flip backwards and die, I've tried every combination after that, I tried to time it, I've been trying for 2 hours. It doesn't work.
you can actually jump the hurdle. I haven’t actually done it, but on occasion I accidentally make the runner go high enough that he would have been able to clear the hurdle if it was there.
Oh, yeah. You can totally jump the hurdle if you want to. I have done it but it throws off your stride. That's why I recommend running through the hurdle.
beat the game by cheesing it with my own method, works like a charm; ( when both of his legs are spread and holding his body up, tap wo and qp slowly and surely inching your way to the end, worth 20 minutes )
I found it much easier to perform these moves in 2QWOP as opposed to QWOP. If you wanna practice, go to 2QWOP! It's faster and has much better physics from my experiences.
Every time I do my left stride, my leg goes forward but then I start to fly and by the time my leg is out, my head is on the floor and both my legs are high in the sky. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong and I need help.
As viewer @UltraStorm pointed out, the QWOP developer changed the game mechanics after this video was made. The whole section on Marching no longer works and I haven't found a good substitute for beginners. The good news is that Running still works exactly as before. From the starting blocks, tap O briefly so that his left foot moves about a foot behind the starting line. Pause while his weight shifts forward and then do a Q+P stride. From there, follow the instructions on Running. I'm sorry but it's going to take some practice to go from zero skills to Running.
So the purpose of the game was to illustrate how complicated running actually is in real life? That it's not just about alternating your legs but actually paying attention to where your leading foot strikes and how to pace your gait? Wow, this game might be frustrating, but its idea is actually quite nice.
Yeah, I never bought into that explanation that this is a real life running simulation. It's probably closer to a simulation of how hard it is to be a good marionettist.
@@jastejkohli5396 I probably should've specified a bit more. try to find a version that only says 2008 at the top. if it says 2008-2015 then you'll backflip a lot more often
QWOP marching doesn't seem to be possible. When I push W and O and guy doesn't thrust his leg high up like that. It just shoots mostly straight out and the other leg is straight and horizontal. I dont get it, like has the game been updated at all in all these years to explain this difference in behavior??
Yes, that's exactly what happened. @UltraStorm was the first to point out that the game mechanics changed after this video was made.

When I play QWOP nowadays, which isn't often, I'm able to run to the hurdle after a few warmup attempts.
what can I say... I managed to run the whole 100 meters in 12mins before seeing this video... but with these mechanics... I just stared at the screen deducing the movements for 5mins... then I practiced and reached the end...I'm shocked.

The begining only makes me do a backflip!
when you start, the guy rocks forward and back. do it when you lean forward.
That doesn't work
It does that to me too
@@potat6497 for me he just leans backwards and that's it. No rocking or anything. Maybe you're using a different version? Maybe it's different on mobile? idk that's all i can think of

nice I don't really have the patience to march 100 meters :P
the marching thing doesn't work for me
i keep starting and then when i switch all he does is flip on his back

start it with the o trick and then start marching with left stride
@@SinisterF. Same thing happens dipshit
Try to just quickly press wo then keep continuing
"Don't even look at the hurdle, just focus on your feet and run your own race." Reminds me of PE at school
His ankles are separate from his feet like Terrence and Phillip's head in South Park.
3:30 you can hear him turn the pages of the tutorial hes reading , legend thanks for the help.
indeeed
The only tutorial that is actually a tutorial
Q1. Someone took the time to made a tutorial video? And Q2. What the fuck has my life come to?
who knows, chuck norris
Subscribed. This guy knows what he's talking about, therefore his other videos must be great too.

hawaiidispenser tbh when you guys said Honolulu, I thought of Lilo and stitch. Ah the good old cartoon days, back when they were decent.
Liam Evans I keep meaning to watch that movie..
hawaiidispenser its good. I mean its a show too (I think it is?), but trust me, from my blurry memories, I loved little stitch. (It is for little kids kinda though)
Thanks for that Guide. I went from 10 meters to 33 :D
GeneralGameAlright! Glad I could help.
@CorSec I know you're comment is from five years ago but I came to say I did the same

This sounds legit. And I got better. So, I subscribed. Nice job on this, described every point very well.
Finally, someone to explain how the controls actually work.
THX now i can make backflips :D
That's actually pretty good, edla. I think my longest run was 101.4

In only 5 minutes, I marched 6.7 meters. Good one!

@@Dr.DingDongg they updated the game so the tutorial wont work
Every time i do that i do a back flip and fall on my fucking face
Thanks i now do a back flip every time i take a step.
I thought this was a very insightful and comprehensive tutorial! Great video.
Thank you. I mostly get negative feedback on this video, probably because QWOP has updated its game mechanics and marching doesn't work like it used to when I recorded this.
@@stabguy Even though this is super old, do you have any new tips? I've been going at this for incredibly long lmao

Here after Slayy point's video
2:00 when I try to run fast in my dream
Love this video, made it to 43.7 meters on my 6th try when I watched this video!
maaan screw you mad you doodoo you no epic you no invite to birtday party
If you tap Q or W the leading leg straightens out and you can have a go at jumping at the JUMP sign.
ok im gonna see how this does.
first tried the march. i got to almost 10 meters, which is better than last time
second tried the march. i end up falling backwards before 10 meters. still need more practice, but works well
third tried the march. i cant even move anymore?
4. cant even get to 2 meters
5. tried being more patient. cant get to 5 meters.
6. 2 minutes after 5 i broke 10 meters ;u;
7. its been about 8-9 minutes. i got to 9 a few times, broke 5 usually. it varies. i make a lot of small mistakes. i need more practice, now is break time
will update soon
Honestly this is more of some sort of scientific algorithm than a tutorial...
I just can't do it the only way I was moving was I ended up with one knee on the ground and the heel of the other foot down then I slowly scoot through pushing the hurdle the whole way
good toturial ! i got 10 metre for my 7th run :D
if raage quit micheal knew these tips he might not have trouble with the game
I rather have AC vids but I must say, very very in depth/complete/well explained.
me: my best record is -0,2
qwop: everyone is a winner
the first method does not work i cant get my left leg forward without falling backwards
Thanks! i started to jump like a princess after it! 😆
0:55 - hitting brakes and accelerator at the same time can make sense.
I found myself doing it in an automatic looking for the clutch. God knows how you're supposed to drive those automatic cars they're supposed to be easier but they just don't make any sense to me whatsoever.
Manual transmission all the way
I went from -2.0 meters to 15 meters this help sooo much
***** epic slow clap
11.1m is my Personal best, not by running though, I can get my Qwopper to do the splits and then just use Q and W I can shimmy him down the track for a while. "It's all in the thighs"
la dodgers 4 life I did that before and i laugh until i cryed and my side was burning so bad
HunterDoAllTheThings Now my personal best is over 9000!!! no its like 44. ***** hey we have the same score
Great strategy , I got this game on my phone for $0 .99. Very fun to play ,hard to master
I would be super interested in seeing you do a full run - any one else?
The current world record is 1:07.46. I can't compete with that. ua-cam.com/video/6UOvHaBPfTo/v-deo.html
I can't get past w/o I always flip
I won by doing a split and using my toes to tip my way to the end. If you're wondering how I jumped over the final obstacle, I didn't. I stretched my toe to the end while doing a split over the obstacle.
I just got Qwop in the splits position and rapidly tapped q and p. If Qwop can't move press q so he can start moving again.
WO works when you take one step but anything you do after makes you flip backwards and die, I've tried every combination after that, I tried to time it, I've been trying for 2 hours. It doesn't work.
I once got to 50M but didn't know there was a hurdle, My split technique stops working at 50M for me, some people might be able to get past it though.
at the start i just fall back
you can actually jump the hurdle. I haven’t actually done it, but on occasion I accidentally make the runner go high enough that he would have been able to clear the hurdle if it was there.
Oh, yeah. You can totally jump the hurdle if you want to. I have done it but it throws off your stride. That's why I recommend running through the hurdle.
ive never been able to get past 5 meters
Only time I was able to finish it, I basically scooted on my knees to the finish line.
I went from 4.9 to 44.9 THX :D
i think you mean a 44.9 to a 4.9. this tutorial is trash
Handy tip: quickly press o then start with a left stride (q+p)
I crawled to 100.
Won in like my 7th try, it took forever but it was worth it.
This guy mastered it though.
I'm still here in 2021 trying to beat this game.
Let's get drunk and stoned and see who can get him running hahaha. seems like fun
With the knowledge I learned from this I did a flip and fell on my head.
beat the game by cheesing it with my own method, works like a charm; ( when both of his legs are spread and holding his body up, tap wo and qp slowly and surely inching your way to the end, worth 20 minutes )
To get in the marching position I first had to swing Q then tap P? W and O is a death sentence.
Right?
I feel old still playing this game
could someone explain how to drag the trailing food like a rudder? (4:01) I need an example, help me.
I just pushed Q,W,O and P at the same time in that order and got 71 meters
bro how is your character so balanced?
It's like anything else: You practice and learn to make adjustments.
Thank you for teaching me how to not run like a worm on benadryl
He always falls immediately backwards when switching to QP after the first WO. I don't get it.
thank you so much good sir I made it to 68.54 meters :)
that 4 was not necessary
now the only thing that i find hard is the beginning when you try to get the momentum
I found it much easier to perform these moves in 2QWOP as opposed to QWOP. If you wanna practice, go to 2QWOP! It's faster and has much better physics from my experiences.
Nice man! Very metodic! Nice work, really!
Thx and greetings from Brazil!
instructions unclear: i can now moonwalk
So this game is about a long jump with a random hurdle in the middle?
Nice tutorial on how to flip over
I don't know why but for some reason I'm not even able to do 1:49 without falling backwards.
Thanks, went from 0.9 to 28.0.
the arms aren't for show i think because when you go low enough the arms mess you up
Still better than the Olympics.
I run 200 meters backwards at my first try
How do you manage to make this game so scientific?
Every time I do my left stride, my leg goes forward but then I start to fly and by the time my leg is out, my head is on the floor and both my legs are high in the sky. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong and I need help.

This help me go from 5m to 23.7m thanks!
My best is 90.5 m. I wouldn't call what I do running though lol.
JOHNNY S7ORM - my best is 100.3 but i wasn’t exactly running/walking either lmao
This worked PERFECTLY !!
Did Peter ever give you your stapler back?
So the purpose of the game was to illustrate how complicated running actually is in real life?
That it's not just about alternating your legs but actually paying attention to where your leading foot strikes and how to pace your gait?
Wow, this game might be frustrating, but its idea is actually quite nice.
Yeah, I never bought into that explanation that this is a real life running simulation. It's probably closer to a simulation of how hard it is to be a good marionettist.
if you're doing backflips, try playing the game on a different site, this doesn't work as consistently on newer versions
im playing on a 2008 to 2015 version and its still backfliping me
@@jastejkohli5396 I probably should've specified a bit more. try to find a version that only says 2008 at the top. if it says 2008-2015 then you'll backflip a lot more often

QWOP marching doesn't seem to be possible. When I push W and O and guy doesn't thrust his leg high up like that. It just shoots mostly straight out and the other leg is straight and horizontal.

okay i know that the comments are saying that you keep back flipping same with me i can never get it to work :(
they say you have to walk before you run,but you QWOP before you CLOP
This is for the flash version though, the HTML 5 version works differently, u can't start like this.
It literally doesn't work? Maybe when you're already running but the start is just wrong, all it does is make you flip
Doesn't even remotely work? As soon as I press q+p after the first stride, I do a backflip and land on my head.
The running doesn't work. You just make a single stride and your other toe hits the floor and leans you forward at an angle that is impossible to fix.
Thanks. Got from -2m to 13m
what can I say... I managed to run the whole 100 meters in 12mins before seeing this video... but with these mechanics... I just stared at the screen deducing the movements for 5mins... then I practiced and reached the end...I'm shocked.
Cool. Glad it worked for you.
