Oh my god that ladder glitch! 🤣 I don't think Somersaults breaks the rules, they're not a step after all. If you saw someone somesaulting down the street, you wouldn't say they're walking Another great video and another great testament to your perseverence. Bravo
Yeah that was my hang up with the somersaults. You can do it quickly so that you're not actually physically taking the first step, but it was still annoying. That crouching somersault was a bit better but not perfect
Totally thought he would've just leveled up the grip guage to level to with pull ups to do this. Then the pole in the 3rd hold would allow him to skip the ladder. As long as he leveled up before going to the holds, the time wouldn't have been an issue at all.
@@randyjarrell3423“Staying out of sight” can be seen as pretty much the same thing as avoiding the guards, so wording it this way basically doesn't make sense
I love how instead of just shimmying across the rail in the tanker holds you used an obscure and hilarious glitch that I've never ever seen before. Got a good laugh out of me!

25:00 incase you all were wondering, no they didnt put a willy on Raidens model, you can clearly see his groin when you do rail flips if you wanna check haha he's a literal Ken doll down there.
I appreciate how seriously you take these challenges, I've seen some youtubers propose challenges like this and blatantly break the rules because doing it properly would have taken hours, but isn't that the whole point of a challenge..
Can't wait to see what wacky tricks you come up with for the infamous "Snake Eater" ladder for MGS3. Amazing vid, the shear commitment is incredible ❤️
Well, there was a new speed running strat discovered which entirely skips the ladder, but I don't know if "T-posing into the sky" really sits right with the challenge.
Another amazing video i love how dedicated and detailed they are. i would say that the summersault is a grey area since, yes it is puting up your feet and down on another position, but the movement comes from the hands. If you had a failed landing you wouldnt even use the legs so id say its a fully valid run. i am excited to see your next challenges in the future
My jaw was on the floor during the Metal Gear RAY fight at the end, I was so nervous for you and I can't believe I never thought of that strategy. Another great video!
This channel has some of the highest quality, highest effort, most entertaining videos. I’m astonished you don’t have at least a few hundred thousand subs but I know it’s only a matter of time! Please keep up the great work
I had so much trouble in arsenal on higher difficulties when I was younger because snake kept dying. I never thought about tranq-ing him LMAO brilliant! These MGS videos really bring a smile to my face. So much nostalgia, i love the secrets that you have found. Thank you
Nice work! I feel like in the tanker holds, to avoid using the glitch, you could also get Snake's grip strength to level 2 and shimmy across to the other side and avoid using the ladders with that also.
dude you are an absolute legend , i gottta go watch the first one now !!@! i just recently took on trying to beat the entire 1-5 metal gear saga in one sitting
I 100% think this counts personally. As long as you aren't taking a step I think that should count. The animation cancel is pretty cheeky and I like it
"Say Snake, how did you get down those ladders without stepping anyways?" "Why, I lived up to my namesake and..." "Crawled?" "Contorted into an unholy ball of flesh and shifted through walls to reach my objective while flying. What? The Snake clearly refers to a Quetzalcoatl."
Would love to see metal gear solid 5 or peace walker challenge, or maybe a days gone challenge, tomb raider challenge, resident evil challenge etc. Such fun videos, keep up the amazing work!
Personally, I don't count climbing ladders as taking steps. To me, steps imply horizontal movement, not vertical. Vertical movement is climbing. I don't think I consider the standing somersault taking a step either, but at a certain point, the challenge becomes much easier if you start to allow somersaults, even though technically I don't consider them steps. You could theoretically make it through a lot of "un-crawlable" situations using the somersault.
@@tgb2162 yes. Unfortunately, I was not consulted when that name was chosen. I've filed a petition with the ladder committee but so far they've not responded.
imagine if you were at a guard press conference thing, and all of a sudden, some random dude you have literally never seen before, just starts doin some weird ass movements while floating above the crowd of other gaurds. that would be so great.
That ladder glitch happens and you’re wondering if the flip is a problem? 😂 excellent run, excellent video. Can’t wait to see Snake Eater and 4, if you do them.
Decent indeed, good sir! You're a legend. I have played and beaten every single MGS, absolutely love these games. The somersaults are valid in my opinion, that was wicked as hell!
Using explosives on Vamp in the water damages his stamina bar. And that stretch where Snake kept dying, you can put your back to the door, go first person, and punch punch kick kick through it to the circular room. And while I there you can tranq snake and use the spray to stun all the enemies till the time runs out. Just remember to let go after a few seconds so you don't need to "reload". But I cant wait for the MGS3 version of this
Forgot to comment the first time I watched! If I remember right, you can hold down X to land prone out of your cartwheel, so I believe it *would* have been possible to flip > prone > stand > repeat as a form of stepless movement. I think the standing animation from the crouch would have been useful as a buffer to avoid taking a step while you input the flip. Might come in handy if we ever see Part 3 ;)
Just hearing the music to this game is taking me back to 2001 when I got a PS2 and got Devil May Cry, Silent Hill 2 and this game. That was a great year, and I had so many great memories of the time that I first played this game at the end of 2001, November to be exact. God I miss playing this game and I love it so much, I like it better than Snake Eater, sorry everyone, I just had a great time playing this game and being pulled in by it’s story. Just like Metal Gear Solid 1.
The lead up to this game coming out, and then finally getting released, was insane but super enjoyable. I was among the countless that bought "Zone of the Enders" simply because it came with the demo of MGS2 up through the Olga boss fight...I'd play that shit over and over even though the dialogue was still in Japanese with English subtitles (almost added to it, in a bizarre way lol). And then yeah, when it finally came out, plowing ahead cos I couldn't wait to see what was gonna happen next--I think I was one of the few who didn't mind the big Snake/Raiden reveal; I kind of agreed with Kojima that he'd taken 'Snake the Super Soldier' as far as he could go at that moment and so we needed to see Snake from someone else's perspective to add a new dimension to it, also the eventual reveal of Raiden's true background was pretty crazy.
Just a note. You can disable all but the bomb in strut A and then grab the sensor from the pantry. Once you disable the last bomb you can just go right onto the roof and you'll have 400 seconds starting at the strut A roof
Heya, great Video, (I thnk) because I put it on when I started eating, but then I burned my face so hard on my chili that the video was just playing in the background while I was trying to stop the BURNING IN MY MOUTH for like 30 mins. But I'm sure you did a great job and I will watch it again in the future.
So glad there's someone doing challenges like these since SkipTheTutorial is now a minecraft youtuber and Nathaniel Bandy and NicoBBQ only do coin stuff in Mario Games and nothing else. Get this man to 6 digits in subscribers asap
As someone who's played this game numerous times through normally, this was.. definitely an interesting watch. Tanker glitch was gold. I hope Otacon will have learned a lesson from his unfortunate little sister and protected his shins in the future!
Now we're just waiting until Metal Gear Solid 3 4 and 5 I know the one that's probably going to be the most trouble is probably the fifth game with its final boss and although the fifth game is not complete it still has a designated ending and one I know that is just straight-up impossible because you can't crawl is Metal Gear Rising but I'm pretty sure you'll find a workaround soon
Thanks for the great video! Love all these challenges - I especially appreciate the no sequence break clause, sequence breaks can be super cool and interesting to figure out but I enjoy seeing how the whole game is navigated under the constraints, with no shortcuts. Looking forward to the next one!
Been anticipating this for the longest time. Well worth the wait! I'd say you accomplished this without steps. Especially considering the crouch into somersault rule. I was wondering how you'd handle Emma. Never knew you could shin-bump her like that. Nice work! And there is an overlap between Spyro and MGS fans. I am one of them.
Video game challenges are probably my favourite niche of videos, I've probably watched all channels that do them big and small. Without a shadow of a doubt yours are the most impressive, dedicated and entertaining. Honestly man keep up the great work!
Would love to see this attempted in the 2nd game. The real 2nd game. Oh yeah, the Japan only Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake. Would likely be impossible in 1 though since no crawling and punching keeps you stationary in that game.
Knowing the ways certain actions move the player, i got a severe anxiety knowing what was to come in this video. The HF Blade will actually be a god send for once, instead of an awkward hindrance.
I remember watching you on Twitch taking on Fat Man. Haven't had a solid enough internet connection since moving to watch the live streams, but good luck on your upcoming challenges! Look forward to catching you live soon!

The best glitch for sure! Thanks once more :D
@@Tsukiru every time I read a line like that it's always in patricks voice xD
the problem with that is that you have to actually be moving to do a roll or somersault, if you press the button while standing still you just crouch

What's crazy about this run is your grip level imo. I was expecting you to increase your grip level in order to make shimmying easier. Awesome work

dude you are an absolute legend , i gottta go watch the first one now !!@! i just recently took on trying to beat the entire 1-5 metal gear saga in one sitting
The weapon switching while crouched to get across the bridge is know as the Dlime Special
I 100% think this counts personally. As long as you aren't taking a step I think that should count. The animation cancel is pretty cheeky and I like it
I wouldn’t say somersaults are a violation of the rule. The rule is “No steps”. You can’t take a step if your legs are in the air lol
if you have more grip strength you can actually crawl alongside that ledge with the ladder to reach another door
you can do it with 1lvl grip but you need full health
Dont know what was better, headbutting the girl in the shins, or shooting snake to stop him killing himself xD Great Vid as always!
Ohh what a nostalgic blast... I remember the first time seeing the guards wake up in the beginning and thinking, "ohh, they can wake up now!"
"Say Snake, how did you get down those ladders without stepping anyways?"
"Why, I lived up to my namesake and..."
"Crawled?"
"Contorted into an unholy ball of flesh and shifted through walls to reach my objective while flying. What? The Snake clearly refers to a Quetzalcoatl."

If you enter first person while dragging a body, you can rotate, then release them.
plus you can shimmy to the sides in first person to get in cover, and even tip toe with the shoulder buttons
