I swear every one of distortions speedruns I’ve watched he spends the whole video going “that was bad” “this is a terrible run” and then it ends up being WR
Yep, happens a lot in WR runs. It just means there's even more room for improvement which is exciting. All the mistakes could lead to another minute down. Sub 56 next, let's go.
When I played the game first I thought I had to defeat every enemy on the way so I spend like 2 days trying to defeat the troll jumping from the bridge that gets supported by the archers lmao😂
I know this is an old comment but I feel like this could be a new law of physics, that unless a speedrunner is constantly telling the audience how shitty they think their segments are they can never actually beat their old records 🤔🤔🤔
I think you have to be an OCD perfectionist to even get into serious speedrunning, so most of the top tier speedrunners are probably the type of people who refuse to settle for anything less than absolute perfection. Once they've figured out what the best version of what they're trying to do looks like, anything less appears problematic lol. It seems like a big part of successful speedrunning is being able to improvise when you make a slight mistake or get bad RNG.
@@P1Volvo850R any% for pretty much every game is kinda boring in general imo. It’s obviously super impressive how people even find out and optimize the strats, but at some point it just becomes way too boring to watch
@Samael OOT was good for about 6 years until they found the warps, there's a lot of good any% still but a lot of games is just code/rng manip or skips that aren't even fun to watch
I ain't gonna lie I prefer the glitchless speedrun compared to the any% where that whole zipping thing is useable. Not that zipping doesn't require skill (it requires heavy patience and stuff I am aware) but I just like it a lot more when the runners have to play the game as intended to the best of their abilities rather than being able to just "zip" right through the final bosses and stuff. Very cool run !!
Dis2 ain’t playing around when it comes to wanting to be the world record holder 😆 his record was just beat the other day, then he turns around and beats THAT record in record time, truly a legend.
Now that it's a year later I'm watching Dist's first playthrough and it's hilarious in hindsight, and it'll be even more fun to watch him do a crazy optimized speedrun once I'm done.
Started playing again after a 6 month break and wonder what the fastest glitchless speedrun was. Of course its Distortion, I'm not even surprised anymore, just happy he got it.
In every Dist stream whenever there is some kind of massive troll on the part of the game happens, it is dubbed "The [X] Incident" for instance, "The Parry Incident" is from one of his streams when he got BTFO by the Carian Knight before Red Wolf. What are all the _incidents_ and can we get a compilation?
a game i get lost in all the time, im just still on my first playthrough im like how tf do u know this map like that! lmao absolutely incredible stuff bro
Great video. Forgive me if this is a dumb question for I am new to the speedrun. But why do you quit and restart during the game? What purpose does it serve? I genuinely don’t know. Thanks
There’s a couple reasons. First off, opening doors can be slightly faster if you save quit mid animation. Those fractions of a second saved start to add up to many seconds saved by the end of the run. The other reason is to reset the aggregation of enemies so that they don’t attack him while he’s doing jumps and such.
The whole blinds thing. Why does he have to order them? If he lives in the US I've seen those he talks about at the store (home Depot/Lowe's). Does he not leave his house?
I just got this game and I love it but man I suck. Iv only beaten 3 bosses and I’m pretty sure they were the easy ones. This dudes a beast, I guess I just need to practice more to play like this, it’s just so damn hard
question why does chat want him to pop a rune arc so bad? he doesnt have a great rune so woudnt it not do anything? or does it give a bonus even without a rune?
I mean it is because the game is designed to work that way. You can respawn at state of marika if you die within its range (and Radahn's arena is huge). Arrow phase is because Radahn's arrow is not designed to have infinite range (it would be insane if it is so) So he is programmed to 'go crazy' and spam arrow at nowhere if player got out of range, and will charge player instead if they got back into range.
Yes he missed the bow purchase but come on our man executed some of the most seamless boss fights back to back at the latter half. Fire Giant, foreskinz and glitter slime are beaten sick af smokin sexy style...
Guys I’ve been watching speedruns for a long but I’m still not sure what any% means. Does it mean you finish the speedrun by completing any % of the content in game? (Objectives, quests, etc.)
How come in my game, I have to completely remove the fire giant/ beast clergy health bars before phase 2 starts where-as in this phase 2 start at 50%...

@@WarriorofZarona The closer to perfection you get, the farther you realize you are
Pretty much every speedrunner ever lmao
Just a quick reminder that I spent 57 minutes on just hair color my first play through.
this is the way
Or 6 days dying to the first knight...🤦🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
When I played the game first I thought I had to defeat every enemy on the way so I spend like 2 days trying to defeat the troll jumping from the bridge that gets supported by the archers lmao😂
same 🤣
My personal speedrun record was 120 hours. I'm wondering if I could maybe do a 119 hour run if I quit the game when opening doors?
That will make it 121 hours of your time 119 game time
That’s not bad actually bro. Well done. My best time was never.
I never timed myself, but I beat this game 3 times and I think my Steam playtime is around 400 hours lol...
Sorry, but I’m only 4h speedrunner😂 but in ng+3 my time is 1,27h
I managed 8 hours in Ng+ that's my best lol
"This run is bad, I need to warm up"
Gets WR.
Each time I watch these speedruns it always starts with "This run is a disaster" and ends in "Hey I got the new WR".
All that means is that there's still a little room for the record to be broken.
I figured it was an anti-choke strategy. You try to trick yourself into thinking the run sucks when your run is actually amazing so far.

glitchless speedrun almost the same time as your first WR, the way people improve speedruns strats is truly amazing
With all the 'mistakes' on this run, he can easily save another minute.
HEHE YE
I haven't been keeping up with souls speedrun after the any% got butchered like OOT but the glitchless is so clean

Over a year later and I’m still tuning into your world records. Absolutely love it and keep it up bro. 🔥
Man, I can't remember where I parked my car the day before and this guy has memorized this entire run. Incredible.
Absolute legend of DS Running. DS runs are some of the most vital to the popularity of Speedrunning, so appreciate all you've done for the community!
Dis2 ain’t playing around when it comes to wanting to be the world record holder 😆 his record was just beat the other day, then he turns around and beats THAT record in record time, truly a legend.
Lmao fr I was just thinking I kno I seen a title stating a new glitchless wr and then next few days distortions name comes up
Whenever Dist says its a "warmup run" you know hes about to set a new WR
what an amazing run! congrats bro, ur truly insane
1st try back from break! Well deserved Dist!
Nothing warms you up like a fresh wr
I was there and saw it live. Still a thrill! Congrats again Dist!!
he really is the best speed runner in the game
like life? yeah probs
Now that it's a year later I'm watching Dist's first playthrough and it's hilarious in hindsight, and it'll be even more fun to watch him do a crazy optimized speedrun once I'm done.
Bruh these runs are so sick I love watching you run around for n hour ! ❤
Most of these boss fights are just absolutely poetic. 👌👌
Damn, I finished a playthrough yesterday too - 139 Hrs 😅
This is awesome it's nice to see you make such a refined run.

Nah u got 4th

Congrats u earned it🎉
I cant imagine the time and effort spent to perfect runs like that. Well done bro!
Crazy run bro, good job :D

Congrats man, you deserved a win after that unfortunate streak of losses 🎉
Well done, man! Cool speedrun!
*Absolutely melts Margit in seconds*
"Thou art of passing skill"
Gongratz great run other the bow shenigans :D First try new skip like it was nothing
Congratulations man!
Perfect timing for RE4 Remake
This warm up run was certified nasty
Nice job man! ty for the run
Excellent speedrun. Congratulations
How did you use the golden vow at 26:59 I was trying to use your method and I got stuck here I was shocked when I couldn’t use the ash of war 😂
man i watched this guy so much during the village days. Can not wait for re4 remake
Havent beat him yet but watching your strats have given me ways of having a chance against radahn for my lvl 1 run
Started playing again after a 6 month break and wonder what the fastest glitchless speedrun was. Of course its Distortion, I'm not even surprised anymore, just happy he got it.
constantly beating your own world record - you are the king of souls speed runs ma boi
6:35 "I'm just gonna try to do a warm up run here." ends up getting WR
That's really impressive. Congrats.
what a WR Machine
No fucking way I lost this live
Is jumping forward any faster than just running
I feel like I see a new world record every week 😂
Why not jump right away at the start? What does he get for running over to the boss arena?
I swear every wr ever starts off with them saying "this run is bad, I should reset"
Congrats!

nice warm up run
Seeing Maliketh demolished so easily makes me feel very inept
Well done buddy 😊🎉
I didn’t even doubt that Dist would make sub 57, maximum respect for diligence and grind!
It's crazy how just one tech can flip a wall of red splits into WR Disty is goated

What version of the game is he playing on? Current patch or earlier?

can't wait to watch the summoning salt video about this
Fascinating how fast you get in areas i visit first time after 30hrs 😂
Every time he leave the game in grace or the enemies stop it goes back a bit of time back is this normal in runs?

24:50 for like the first actual combat interaction. I know reset on these runs must be real sleeper sometimes huh lol
congrats bro
sorry for the question, but how does he use quickstep with the bloodhound fang?
bro just felt like getting a world record today
looking forward to the summoningsalt video in the future
is golden vow from halbred better than ash of war?
This in my mind is a real speedrun… no glitch bullshit
What was the skip in lyndell
Forefathers one and all... BEAR WITNESS! What a run! Congrats
question
why does chat want him to pop a rune arc so bad? he doesnt have a great rune so woudnt it not do anything? or does it give a bonus even without a rune?
I don't remember the exact % but popping a rune arc without great runes boosts hp (a minor increase, but still useful against late game bosses)
I hear that Donkey Kong Country 2 music, fuck yes.
I’m confused on what counts as a glitch. Like why is the Radahn steak of marika jump and arrow phase skip allowed but not others?
I mean it is because the game is designed to work that way. You can respawn at state of marika if you die within its range (and Radahn's arena is huge). Arrow phase is because Radahn's arrow is not designed to have infinite range (it would be insane if it is so) So he is programmed to 'go crazy' and spam arrow at nowhere if player got out of range, and will charge player instead if they got back into range.
nice warmup run
Such a legend
how is he using both bloodhound step and bloodhound finesse ashes?
This was absolutely fucking incredible. Congrats on the WR, you as always are too hard on yourself!
Today I learned you can parry the damn tree sentinels. Yet more reason to try and get good at parry timing.
Yes he missed the bow purchase but come on our man executed some of the most seamless boss fights back to back at the latter half. Fire Giant, foreskinz and glitter slime are beaten sick af smokin sexy style...

42:22 - 42:57 Local speedrunner has a stroke trying to explain himself while riding through the Forbidden Lands (I love him tho)
New to Elden Ring Speedruns, first question I have is why the quits to main menu?
Second question, he quits at the Dectus lift and reloads at the plateau, wouldn't that count as a glitch??
Quit = saving time of "cinematic scene" of action
Dist 5 minutes in : oh well this is just a test run anyway cant pull this back
Dist later : gets WR
What does popping the rune arc do?
Sub 57 already and sub 56 in sight, holy shit dude.
