- Yacht Club Games' Sean Velasco and Nick Wozniak are no stranger to Shovel Knight speedruns. Even still, it seems that speedrunner Applesauc still had a few tricks they've yet to see.

![[TAS] Shovel Knight: King of Cards any% in 27:10.67 (25:53.70 RTA)](/img/n.gif)
The best thing about this run is that it’s labeled “first time blind playthrough”
same
I was hoping that they would notice it, but it got a chuckle out of me nonetheless.
what does that mean?
Areeb This is a speed run, so obviously he’s played this game many times in order to learn and optimize it. By labeling it “first time blind play through,” he’s saying that it’s his first time playing the game and that he’s never seen gameplay before
@@unseenasymptote4976 how can he play the game and then didn't play the game? what? I thought it means like random seed now I'm more confused...
@@Sjnaka Its either something he forgot to remove from a previous stream or its a joke
Doesn't the guy who created "Devs react to speedrun's" back hurt from carrying this channel so hard?
Lol exactly, only redeeming thing here
Nah, they just watched the one that Double Fine did years ago. Not complaining; I love having more videos like this to watch.
Yeah, he actually broke 3 vertebrae, and is now paralyzed from the waist down 😞

I'm confident enough to assume that "devs reacting to speedruns" honestly made the channel really popular again ^^
it is legit the only thing i watch here, and i watched all of them so far.
Their reviews get several times more views
Trygator
Yeah I have no clue what else is posted on ign I got recommended a devs react video and have been binging the playlist
After a day it 60k views which is not that much especially as they 13M subs
@@FraserSouris Really? The Outer Worlds speedrun reaction got over 8 million views.
"We knew about this skip and decided to keep it in"
"For the quick kill on Black Knight, we didn't want it to be annoying"
Yacht club is proving again to be my favorite devs
42:34 Oh, come on, you're not even gonna use Shield Knight? That's the whole point of the GAME!
these are some of the most wholesome and appreciative devs. really neat to hear their enjoyment in watching this.
Josh Canfield and then theres Todd Howard lol
Along with doom eternal devs
These guys are exactly how i thought they would be from playing the game.
@@carbonbeaker409 The Doom Eternal devs definitely enjoyed seeing Xamide destroy their game.
@@garrettk7166 I felt like it hurt their pride just a bit watching all the things they didn't fix, but they still enjoyed watching it.
Might just be me projecting though.
""Oh come on you aren't even gonna use Shield Knight? That's the whole point of the GAAME!!!"
42:34
"She's your friend!"
He punched the remnant's face off with those knuckle dusters!
The initial appeal of the series might be to see developers, who may have never seen a speedrun before, react to game breaking glitches and perfect executions. But, I'm also loving when developers really _get_ speedruns like these devs do. It's fun when they end up discussing and appreciating the strategies and the decision making of the runners.
It's 2020, you cannot be a game developer and don't know that speedruns exist or have never seen one. 99% of developers know that speedruns and exist and have already seen one - maybe just not about their own game
And then there's the Doom Eternal devs, who in their video tried to tell speedrunners that beating the whole game as fast as possible the way it was intended would be more impressive.
I love Doom but I instantly clicked off of that video when I heard that.
Edit: I get it guys, I was a bit too quick to judge them based off of one sentence early in the video. I've since watched the whole video.
@@draaxus2969 They warmed up to his speedrun shortly after that. It's worth watching the rest of the video. I do agree that it wasn't the best sentence for them to say.
@@draaxus2969 It's a great vid and they are funny devs. I encourage you to just ignore that sentence and watch the rest of it.
@@Morkelfan eh alright. Fair enough.
It's great to hear how one of the developers constantly giggling. His laugh is so contagious and feels so innocent
Md Mamun Kaiser Zisan dude right?! Lol it’s so oddly sweet
I honestly could not stand it
Dunno, wasn't keen myself
Like this:-
(Plague knight) Hee Hee Hee
Almost like Butthead
Appreciate IGN taking the feedback and cutting back the teaser at the beginning. Definitely felt better.
As a speedrunner myself, hearing devs talk so appreciatively abput speedrunning as a whole is incredibly touching. I like that many devs (like the celeste devs) are incredibly supportive of their speedrun communities.
Normal people: "the past tense of speedrun is speedrunned or speedran"
*SPEDRUN*
Agent 008 this has me howling with laughter LOL
*S P E D R A N*
@@zekeram129 spedrannnd
Shield knight: my parents aren’t home
Shovel knight:
Watching a speedrunner absolutely destroy bosses you had trouble with before is so satisfying, looking at you Hollow Knight.
I like how all the dreams are just optimally dying
Imagine being the holder of this speedrun. You knocked it out of the park, pulled off so many stunts and have succesfully gotten through the game quicker than anyone else
Other speedrunners seeing that one death in Propeller Knight's level: MOVE IN FOR THE KILL
it has already been killed
@@McGeet Tragic
First time blind play through
What's great about this is that the Yacht Club devs were into the speedrunning aspect of the game very early on, so much so to the point where a lot of patches for the game involved removing certain aspects of RNG (map enounters, primarily) making the speedrun go much faster.
Imagine getting world record on a first time blind playthrough.
definitely not a first time blind playthrough
@@ColloseusXReturns imagine missing the joke by THAT much
@@McGeet missthejoke%
Well when a game is new I'm sure that technically happens often.
@@ColloseusXReturns Man got ratio'd by 103 likes
I love how the devs are like we knew that skip was there but kept it in because it was cool. I love that they have the mind set that these skips are for dedicated fans who want to beat the game as fast as possible and not want to make sure it's flawless.
If i was a developer i would probably look at stuff like this and go
Is this bug/skip a somewhat easy thing to do that could happen for regular or casual gamers ? In that case we might need to check on it so they dont get bummed out over something breaking or not working the Way it should
Or is it something that takes time and dedikation to pull off ? In which case we Can leave it in since only people actively looking for it Will come across it
I feel like thats how devs like these might look at breaks or skips in their game since there is no reason to fix something if only a small part of the community is gonna find it
42:42 "we built in so many things to make it impossible to stay up there."
_glances at Propeller Dagger_
The Devs should have said before starting the speedrun : "Let's dig in!"
At least they did around the start
ya they did say it at the start
Next video idea: IGN's employees react to how the Dev's react serie single-handedly safe the whole company's reputation
I think IGN content is best when their employees have no hand in it
ArtificialAndrew when only their game loving employees have a hand in it. And go solely off of their love for the hobby instead of trying to create in wanted drama for attention
When companies exist like whichever one that made that terrible pc build video, the bar is set pretty low
I love how they appreciate the hard work that goes into speed running their own game
The Devs being so speedrun concious is amazing. Lovely to see them supporting the community with QoL changes for runners
These devs have the perfect balance of awe, appreciation, technical input/explanation, game history and humor. One of my favorites!
When the devs talk about that Bionic Commando: Rearmed speedrun glitch at 26:40, I just think of PJ's runs of BC:R. I'm glad they think about things like that hahahaha
i am pretty sure that is the run they talked about, hypemode engaged! PJ is my favourite speedrunner, always great commentary. defintiely recommend people to check out his GDQ runs
@@M0torsagmannen Same, PJ is always so damn entertaining to watch. PJ and mario-romhacks are the only runs I 100% cant miss every gdq. I of course watch a lot more but yeah you know, some things you just cant miss :)
I love it when Devs enjoy watching people crush their games and appreciate how much most speedrunners love the games they run.
The longer this video goes on the more insane that guys laugh becomes
Great video!! really hope we get an Ori and the Will of the Wisps speedrun dev react soon
I learned so many things watching this. Like the 1st level skip and the Tinker Knight one shot thing. So cool!
I always love seeing the developers like "I mean, I know WE made it do this... but how did he took it this far?"
I feel like these are the goodest of guys for supporting their fans. I can't wait for their next projects.
wonderful series. Keep up these videos, they're a treat
Can’t believe that was his first time blind play through. So much talent
I absolutely adore the Devs React to Speedruns. Keep it up!
It's so nice to listen to people who make games AND *like them*. This was great. Great run, too.
Love these speedrun vids. Thanks!
the "big deal" meaning of "getting decimated" comes from the fact that it was a punishment that roman legions got for failing important task - the commander would make the legion stand in one line, walk along the line, and pick every tenth soldier he walked by, and then all those picked ones would be executed.
Developers react to TAS speedruns.
yeah i was wondering how come this wasn't done already
"Tool Assisted Speedrun Speedruns"
TAS also means "Tool Assisted Superplay"
the devs made me smile and its been a while. thanks for the content guys
21:57 Clip from the Intro.
ty
Hello from 2090
Honestly love these videos. Devs react to speed runs is amazing
If you can manage, do you think next time it can be these same devs reacting to the Plague of shadows speedrun instead? I think there are a lot more things to see with that one.
Just have them react to all 4 campaigns
@@Fresh_Knight That would be cool, but plague of shadows has the best-looking speedrun.
bob shadowblade Eh I like SoT more tbh
No, they should do King of Cards 100% speedrun if they do even just one more of these. I could really stand to hear them talk for 2 hours straight.
You knew that the shovel knight devs were gonna be more giddy about this. Tis the beauty for being a gamer making games vs a corporation of programmers making games. Their attitudes towards speedrunners is almost universally positive and appreciative of the effort they know that goes behind speedrunning.
making polar knight one of the first 4 because of the instant kill spikes is the definition of fun-first and polish. Most people will never find out.. Love you guys so much
Thank you IGN for listening to all of your subscribers and adding more quality content to this series! This is my favorite series on your channel. Thank you!
I love these Devs React to Speed Runs. More Please!
Love these developer reacts videos
I really love shovel knight's ending, they didn't think that "a tragic ending would be better" like A LOT of other games that do so just because, it's really rare to see stories with happy ending that become so popular
The one developer that keeps giggling sounded so familiar and I finally realized, he sounds like Bert Kreicher
Great comedian
Thanks IGN for these series!!! They are the best!!! You earned a new subscriber and im sure that many more think alike.
Its great that these devs were fans of speed runs in general and had a lot of general knowledge about it.
One of the things I’m excited for as a game arts major is to one day help create a game and watch the speeedruns.
I really like this series. Keep it up IGN!
there is so much zelda and mario influence in this game
And mega man
@@EX0ART Just mega man really. This game is mega man with a shovel. With a Mario 3 overworld.
@@Smoove_J I know that you dirt
This is a great series, great job IGN!
This is my favorite series on the internet
This is easily the best reaction on this series.
Is it possible to get a video like this with the devs reacting but the speedrunner also being in the chat so they could ask eachother questions etc ? I think that would be a amazing video
i wish i could experience as much serotonin as this man
Would be cool to have the speedrunner as guest too so that he can answer questions of the devs
I missed the first day this come out jesus 😔 Anyway please do more Dev React Speedrun. Many of us here waiting
It's soooo cool that they made this gamr thinking of speedrunner and ways to help them go faster
This series needs its own playlist man
19:20 I am SO happy to hear someone who knows the proper definition of decimate :) Maybe people confuse "decimate" for "devastate"? I wonder where the misunderstanding of that word originates!
Another comment said it was related to a punishment for Roman legions. Supposedly, upon failing an important task, the legion would line up and every 10th person would be killed.
They've made such a masterpiece
this is by far my fav one
I love Shovel Knight and I love Super Metroid, this was a great watch!
"Getting decimated isn't even a big deal"... correct. Except for the part where each group of 10 soldiers have to kill one of the group.
Plus, when that term was invented there were only a few thousand people on earth, so every life was precious.
I love wozniaks laugh, so much joy wrapped in it
Really?! I had to watch the video on mute because of it.
Favorite series
26:30 BCR2 - HYPE MODE!!
Bid war was $600+ dollars for hype, a PENNY for silence. PJ DiCesare outdid himself that run.
The speedrun which is shown here is so cool
this series is great
It's amazing how Yacht club took speedrunning into consideration!
This series is awesome
I love shovel knigh too :) I know a channel called "Brothers Theory Productions" They make awesome theories about games and movies alike. They already made 2 theories about Shovel Knight. As a subscriber, I am telling you that you should defintily subscribe to the channel :) Personally, i am a big fan of their theories, mostly the shovel knight theories and I think they deserve more appreciation and more subscribers as well. Besides, if you are subscribed to the channel, you get the power to decide what game or movie they will analyse next. You just have to comment your suggestion in their comment section :) I hope you enjoy :)
Every vid in this series: “Alright, so this is where he --oh he beat it already.”
Always great to hear devs saying speedrunning terms like ''pace'' ''glitches'' ''tricks'' ''AGDQ'' ''RNG'' Usually devs are clueless about these terms but some stands out and have deep speedrunning knowledge.
It's more fun when they are clueless
Unbelievable...So many actually legal techniques that I didn't know of. Btw indeed playing with a keyboard seems to be a faster way of doing things. Especially the shoveling - difference between controller (I have a simple Logitech one) and a keyboard is like between night and day.
I like how enthusiastic they are lol
i really loooove this videos.

The ultimate playthrough
Binge watching these devs react AGAIN 🤭
awesome i love this series
I knew these guys were a really nice bunch!^^
Their laughs honestly give me life
EASILY the best series ign has done in YEARS.
I love how these devs are speed runners themselves and talk about old glitches and speed runs they have done in separate game series
42:34 Oh, come on, you're not even gonna use Shield Knight? That's the whole point of the GAME!
Anyone remember Tom Thumb? One of the first DOS platform games, run on a music cassette on a P2000 or Commodore16 I think. You were playing for something like 40 minutes until this part where you'd fail over and over again... without the possibility to save a game. My dad did succeed one night.
Bless the mid-80s...
These guys are legends
This thing IGN is doing now where they have developers watch speed runs of their games is probably the only cool thing IGN has done in about 10 years. It's pretty fun to watch.
Shield Knight: "Finally we can fight as a team again."
Shovel Knight: "What did you say? The Enchantress is already dead."
Shield Knight: "WHAT?!"
These guys' laugh gives me life
41:25 "Plague Knight has a hard time with those things."
Berserker Brew: Am I a joke to you?
The laugh is so golden
I love when the devs embrace the concept of speedruns like these guys instead of being all bitter about it. :)
Speedrunner: Makes random mistake during the run
Developers: "That's probably intended!"
Keep these vids coming!
I mean, really, as someone that watches speedruns, more times than not it would be a correct statement...
So many runs have purposeful deaths, damage boosting, being at specific hp/mp/etc. levels, etc. that would obviously seem like an unintentional mistake if you were watching it blind without much knowledge of how the speedrun actually works.
That was insane.
It's endearing and kinda cute listening to the devs laughing and getting excited, like on 25:00
Just listening to the devs makes me want to try all the Shovel Knight games haha
