Thanks to attmayMB, baister09, Can't Even, and jrstan for helping with the video creation process.
This video is not an actual speedrun world record, nor a speedrun tutorial. This video is a showcase/storytelling of an unlucky world record speedrun, explaining the speedrun strategy and various tricks, glitches and bugs that made the speedrun possible. This video is very similar to my "How Speedrunners Skip..." videos, but with a storytelling twist.
This video is weird to me in the sense that I refer to myself in the third person and that I didn't use my signature ducktales ending. I also hate the fact that this video could unironically be titled "SPEEDRUN GONE WRONG!??!" - Ігри
"Hey, I found a bug."
"Really? How do you replicate that?"
"Wait, just give me a million years..."
I interpreted that as you waiting millions of years to re-evolve bugs
Oh, me? Nah, don't mind me. Just waiting for somebody to get wooshed.

The rock eyebrow raise.
That wouldn't actually be faster, moving perfectly while doing the cube throw is more difficult due to camera movements but should still be possible and much more consistent if you had infinite skill.
The odds of that event occurring must be so rare, and then it happens on a WR pace run. Poor dude had the worst luck possible.

Dang, Dream must have stolen all that poor guys luck.
You... You know dream is a cheater. Right...
It's clear you're joking. Right...
If he dies in the first 30 minutes, they remove all the footage and do it again. Plus, his boat clutch where he made a boat when falling and dodges fall dmg by placing it and getting it was staged with 1 of the hunters placing a crafting table right where dream was facing with the stuff to make a boat right where his cursor was when he opened the menu. That's just the start. It's not luck. It's behind the scenes cheating.

I can't imagine how soul-crushing that soft lock would have been.
Your content has actually really improved over the past few months of you making videos. Even though I already knew everything about this story (unfortunately), it was still actually fun to watch, the videos seem more natural now I guess
Also glad I was able to get WR back in time to make it on top of that leaderboard in the end lol
Both of you are legends. Love Msushi's content, and Your runs are a lot of fun to watch. Keep it up!

"Thanks to Cant Even for making this video possible!"
you cheeky little bastard
Can't Even finish this due to soft lock.
The reveal that msushi and can't even are still sharing the podium, under the 1 hour mark, is absolutely wholesome. The shared respect is so sweet to hear
Holy crap, I’ve seen something like this happen before, it wasn’t *as* bad since I was in the chamber but I witnessed a frankenturret throw their friend onto the button and start cutscene, I had no idea they were unable to walk onto the buttons as I remember seeing one trigger the cutscene for me.
Something that should've been mentioned in this video and may confuse some people is that the main category back then was Single Segment, where we couldn't use saves at all, meaning that this kind of a thing kills the run instantly. Today, with NoSLA (No Save Load Abuse) as the main category, the softlock itself wouldn't be that painful, since loading a save file made before entering the chamber would easily avoid it.
Another nitpick is that the frankenturret pushing the other one onto a button is not a physics object, but an animated one, with exceptionally broken hitbox, which you can see at 9:02 in the video. This is the reason why it can push a physics object with such big force - animated object don't react to physics objects, they simply follow the pre-made animation, and if anything is stopping it, they just push it away.
You have a decent point about pointing out the category difference; missing cubethrow used to lose 50 seconds, now it loses like 5 at most. While Msushi probably could have brought this fact up, I think the specifics on how the frankenturrets fling each other might have been a little too specific to mention as anything other than an aside, especially given Msushi's relatively casual audience; at a certain point you have to draw a line on how much information is in the video, otherwise you have a 2 hour video
Hey, at least he gave you route credit though
@@CantEven Well, yes, I understand the video format Msushi goes for, but it's still nice to point stuff out for more curious people in the comment section. The frankenturret thing I mentioned is by no means a major misinformation.
As a side note, I wish there were videos going in-depth into some mechanics of this game. While it is extremely nice to have videos like the ones made by Msushi, which are a great introduction to Portal 2 speedrunning scene for people who aren't really aware about what's going on in there, I always wanted to see videos presenting all the technical details in the nice way, something like you can see on pannenkoek2012 channel. I actually tried that in a past, but I just lack motivation and experience to make it nice looking and informative.

Speedrunner: About to do history
The stupid cubes: *I'm about to end this mans whole career*
That's funny. Speedrunners keep saying that someone makes history when they lower a time below an arbitrary number, yet nobody will ever remember their achievements outside speedrunning, and they'll be forgotten within their lifetime, effectively not making history.
@@restlessfrager Except Ryan Lockwood on his 112 golden eye street speedrun, that was majestic
@@restlessfrager Speedrunning is just about the coolest and most recognised thing outside of the gaming community. We’ve raised so much money as a community at SGDQ. There are bounties put on discovering new optimizations. Id rather be known as one of the thousand or so speedrunners who earned a world record than one of the million or so random office workers. And does it really matter if you arent known? If you make money off of what you love to do, playing games, who really cares about being remembered? Technically, landing on the moon was an arbitrary achivement. What was even the point of going to the moon? What did we really have to prove? By your logic, that isn’t history. Nothing is history, if the world will end. So I say make “history” in your small community rather than focusing on merely earning money in a boring job.
@@jacobbau8328 To make history you need to be remembered by the masses long after your death. I don't know why you wrote a novel about things I haven't brought up, but yeah astronauts get to make history, people shaving one second off a world record during a speedrun typically don't.
@@restlessfrager I”ll sure as hell remember the fun times I had watchin runners advance the record, and im sure other people will too. Also, the runners names are all still on the leaderboard, and will always be on the leaderboard, therefore essentially immortalizing their runs in time, making it history by your definition.
Imagine having your entire run ruined by Wheatley. LMAO

It’s really rewarding when you find skips and time saves that only you know about that can be used to get records
All the luck was transferred to dreams ender pearl drops in his speedrun.
If things go wrong in dream's runs or he dies in 30mins, they scrap the footage and restart. Each *master strategy* he pulls, I can find it was either staged or cheated. Like doing things that are patched in the version he is playing. Or situations that the hunters already knew and then they walked into a trap on purpose. Long story short, everything he has in his dark soul of cheating, has been worked and spliced to the best of their ability. If you excuse me, I have more dream stans to drop this truth nuke on.

I thought this was a tutorial on the complex "Cube Throw" technique but I'm still confused about it. Still - awesome video!
Throwing cubes is pretty simple. If you let go while moving the mouse, the cube will go through the air with whatever speed you were moving it at.
However, while throwing a cube is simple, getting it to land where you want is not, and takes practice.
Can't even has a command on twitch that tells you everything you need to know about the cube throw: uh, you throw the cube
The cube throw is simple, you just let go of the cube while moving the mouse. Getting it to land where you want takes practice.

"Two of the best portal two speedrunners ever"
...oh how very humble of you Mr. Msushi not narcissistic at all lol
SO curious. It’s always fun to learn new things about Portal 2. It feels like such a rarity that I hear anything new to my ears
10:17 Yeah we can see that in the game Trackmania for example, where it’s really common (an extremely competitive racing game), where everytime a really good new WR is set on a map, everyone starts to grind it and it gets beaten after only a few days or weeks where we thought that it would took months to beat it
so the cubes did the so famous "pro gamer move"
I thought it was someone else when you talked about "Msushi" , I would never think to talk in third person like that.
10:12 Right when he went the the grill, my keyboard rgb turned off.
I actually recently had the franken-turret step on the button too! I was playing it on the switch and I was so confused because Wheatley reacted like the button had been pressed but I hadn't even left the office yet. Glados responded too, as if we were down there, and there was no softlock. It was very strange.
This happened to me before! I got soft locked like that years ago when I first played portal 2 and looked everywhere for a fix but nothing came up. I forgot about it completely until now and had no idea how rare it was. That level of unlucky totally checks out for me though
the chances of this happening while the player was on a huge world record speedrun... damn
