    My favorite tale is when a run seems dead but the runner decides to do some outlandishly hard skip at the end cause they got nothing to lose... And then pulls it off like it's nothing.

      It's called Flow State. They already think that they don't have to try anymore so they stop trying. Their muscle memory takes over, they stop thinking and they just play. And they play out of their minds.

      Then there’s always that mad lad runner who goes for exactly all the hard skips on every run.90% fail rate then they finally get it to work. And now everyone has to do the skips only this person has ever done in a full run.

    One of my most vivid memories from the world of speedrunning is Touval's stream following his discovery of Gulp skip. It began with Spyro just sitting there in front of Gulp, Touval saying "hi", then opening the guidebook to show that he didn't have 14 talismans, before detailing basically the holy grail of Spyro skips with that signature calmness of his. What a legend.

    @zaersgtreargtrnaioegbaoifare 4 роки тому +687

    Should be mentioned the reason Autumn Plains is so locked down compared to other levels is because there's a huge, high tower you can climb during normal gameplay. In pretty much every other level, since you can glide, finding a way to get on top of even one thing you're not supposed to usually allows you to glide over to even more things you're not supposed to and so on. Autumn Plains was designed with the idea that you would have an extremely high point above everything else to start a glide from, so they put extra effort into making sure all walls were solid and blocked sequence breaks.

      When I was a kid I actually discovered a very easy swim-in-air setup. I must have been about 7. That game is so broken. (The setup is just to go to that tropical island area off the hub world and swim into the darker netting behind the island. Spyro will just... Pop through. So easy a tiny child can do it.) It took a while of goofing around and figuring out that I had to stay low enough to activate the loading triggers, but I found my way to the final boss without finishing the rest of the game. And then the final boss kicked my butt because I was a tiny child.

    Fun Fact: for the Link's Awakening portion of the video, the "Other Runner (@21:24)" who found D4 early (AK Skip) was a guy named Kincaid. He actually doesn't run the game at all, and puts all his effort into glitch hunting. Due to this, the guy has discovered (or had a major hand in discovering) practically most of the major sequence breaks in the game.
    Some of these tricks include (but are not limited to):
    Villa Skip
    AK Skip
    Slime Eel Skip
    Genie Skip
    D7 Skew
    and had a huge part in discovering D8 & D7 Hinox Warps.
    Also, another trick that Touval discovered in this game which was not mentioned in the video was Flame Cave Skip, which is an super big sequence break that allows access to D8 before D7 (which actually saves a really good portion of time)
    Amazing video! I learned so much more about Touval than I knew before. The dude is a glitch hunting legend!

    As a both major Spyro speedrunning fan and lover of high effort video game history videos, thank you for making this. Very happy to see a skilled researcher/video producer tackle the history of Spyro speedrunning. I’ve been following the scene since James Bertoli was the 120% WR holder, and watching it grow from there has been a wild ride. I hope your work gets more attention.

    What both amazes me and also makes me a bit sad is that, all these amazing discovery videos only have a couple thousand views max. They spend so much time and effort and don't get anywhere close to the recognition that sort of dedication deserves.

    I've never seen such a commitment to breaking something since Bane broke Batman's back (the first time). I love seeing speedruns of my childhood games absolutely breaking the limits of the game just to shave half a second off a time. It shows me the peak of gaming. Speedruns show gamers at the top, being able to get frame-perfect inputs consistently, being able to find glitches that nobody would think to try, and even learning engine tricks that no casual player would even think to attempt.

    (Barely related opinions). I always find the discovery part of speedrunning a lot more interesting than the technical skill. It's still impressive that people manage to do frame-perfect movements, but glitch and route discovery feels like watching a game be played for the first time. Thanks for sharing your videos.

    Really well made video, nice of you to include the music timestamps as well as briefly describe the goal of each of these skips for those of us unfamiliar with the games.
    I wish I could be like Touval in any aspect of life. This guy just starts hunting for random cool stuff and gets so good at it that anything he touches turns into gold. And yes, out of all the insane stuff he's done, I agree with you, you ended the video with the wildest one of all.
    I mean heck, I've chronicled my own Super Metroid speedruns where I repeatedly choke good runs on a trick that I found really easy in practice, and Touval does the exact opposite, SAVING an otherwise crappy run by performing a nearly impossible trick in one try.
