*no offence, but it doesn't drive you insane, it just requires some patience, and once you spend enough time on a specific obstacle, you CAN get through it, and, once you complete the game, you hav a sense of achievement,*
Yeah the developper's point of view was just crap. He says that the speed runners, unlike normal gamers, crack the game to achieve purpose. No. The goal of speed running is to complete certain tasks of the game as fast as possible. Any crack is the game would get used by anyone, the speed runner just looks and uses them the most to finish the game faster and not the other way around.

It's funny, but speedrunners probably appreciate a game more than any other person. They study it, admire it, research it, all into finding the fastest way to break it. It's serious dedication.
That's what this dev is trying to convince himself about, yes. In reality, most speedrunners speedrun games because they want a name in the speedrunning community. Yes, liking the game helps, but it's not a prerequisite.
@@Ezullof Speedruns require immense preparation, practice, and skill. Why would you speedrun a game you didn't love enough to want to master it's mechanics to the logical extreme?
"And then having understood it perfectly, they break it over their knee." I don't think there's a more accurate way to describe hardcore speedrunners XD
For a moment I thought "Hardcore speedrunners? There aren't any other kind - " And then I remembered that speedrunning is a hobby for most people, everyone has to start somewhere, some people just do it on their own for fun, and the stuff we see really is usually just the 'hardcore' speedrunners. The ones who work the hardest and do the best. But there are people who speedrun more to challenge themselves for a little while, have fun with a game they love in a new way, and move on before they come anywhere near breaking a world record, because that's not what it's really about for them. Thank you for reminding me that the world is nuanced, though that may not have been your intention :)
I love Bennet Foddy's take on this, so many people miss the fact that a speedrunner 99 out of a 100 times loves and understands the game they are speedrunning before they destroy it.
I agree. Speedrunning takes practice, a lot of practice. It’s impossible for someone to pick up a game to speed run without somehow liking the game beforehand. If they did it because, “lol it’s the easiest game to run.” That’s already sad.
Speedrunners and other types of players who seek to dissect a game and push it until it breaks and they create something new are honestly the game's biggest fans.
As a long time speedrunner, this was beautifully stated. Speedrunners, more than anyone else, have experienced the game in every detail top-to-bottom, then they continue their enjoyment of the game by finding the absolute limitations of the game's rules.
It's like in these stories of a perfect warrior or martial artist. A wizened old fighter approaches the statue, contemplates it, then taps it in just the right place, and it shatters to pieces. It's not even fantastical, real objects often have fault lines and inner stresses, like tempered glass or rocks!
Pedestrian reacts to getting run over by a car: "I love car drivers because they look at you on the sidewalk, they appreciate you for the many-faceted human being that you are, and then they murder you"
There isn't really much to react to. This Speedrun is just somebody playing the game really, really well. There's only one shortcut that is anything other than playing the game exactly how it was intended to be played, just very quickly.

Ideally, watching speedrunners can be the best way to examine the strengths and weaknesses of your own game design, and gratifying to see how much time someone has put into it
I appreciate how the dude actually described it properly that the speedrunners actually play the full game loads of times just to even get there and its not just once, then the devs wont get as sad knowing theres so much dedication to their game.
It's like if you find a chest in a game, you know the dev put it there. If you look up a skirt and there's something there, you know the dev put it there. You need to intimately know the mind of the developer and know each and every one of these fine details to excel at the art of speedrunning.
when it comes to an art so precise that you're using textures and the edges of sprites and exact frame cycles to improve, you basically learn the game as a second language it's a compliment if anything honestly
@@deViant14 achtyoully, they tend to use all the failures of the devs [skips/glitches/time saves/etc] that the dev did not intend to break the game past what was originally thought to be humanly possible to complete it.
@@Astroqualia but do you know how much time and effort you need to put into a game to find all those shortcuts? and then once they find the shortcuts they need to practice them over and over again just to shave off the most fraction of a second in order to finish the game as fast as possible.
It's not a joke, this is a warm-up run. No speedrunner would leave in a fall on their final record submission; the guy probably streamed an entire day of trying to beat a record and this was just a crandom clip.
The Commander Nax I love how he says “let me take a moment to say”.... now I know how they came up with the idea of narrator not shutting up and not staying on subject.

@@jord.an6123 - The title isn't "game developer delivers a lecture on the relationship between games and speedrunners", though... If you enter a coffee shop, it's because you want coffee, not a vast assortment of tea.
I have a feeling since the Dev knew it was only a minute he decided to prepare his thoughts on speedrunning vs a pure reaction. I actually appreciate that and it was very honest
There are two things I really like about this: 1. This kinda sounds like it could be one of the voice clips of himself that he put into the game. 2. The sheer contrast between this streamer's run, basically a minute and a half, against most of the other people I've watched play this game where real-world days go by as they try and complete it. That is, if they don't just give up.
sure, but a speedrun is itself the culmination of hundreds if not thousands of hours of effort. if speedrunning is like "getting over it", a WR run is just that last bit where they fly into space at the end, ignoring the months they spent getting up there. the only difference between speedrunners and casuals is that they love the climb and they have a whole community helping them figure out how to do it and supporting them in doing so - and as Foddy said, break the game over and over in new ways while doing so
The speedrun itself breaks you as you watch how easily they beat the game flawlessly, but then we have Bennett, with his calm demeanor, describing the concept of speedrunning, and then you don't feel completely shattered. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be
why do pretentious douchebags talk like they know what they are talking about with such confidence? LMAO "Shakespearean way", literally nothing he stated was in a "Shakespearean way"
It's not the reaction I was came here to see, but all things considering that is definitely the reaction I shouldve expected: Rambling about a topic through a stream of consciousness that has absolutely nothing to do with what is being played on screen. Just like the real game.
After listening to him talk to much in the game, honestly, this is exactly the reaction I was expecting. He isnt very reactionary, just very reflective
I think what's evident in ALL of these IGN dev react videos is that there is always at least some level of salt in a dev seeing their baby being broken before their eyes.
Considering this game is about frustrating and humiliating the player constantly, this sounds more like Bennett acknowledging that speedrunning is essentially having spent so long in the game that you have the right to do the same thing to the designer that the designer did to you at the start of the experience.
Other developers in this situation: WOOAAHH! Did you see that GLITCH?! That was INSANE! Bennett Foddy in this situation: Ah, yes, the relationship between speedrunners and developers is one unique that truly reflects the observant yet creatively destructive eye of curiosity that humanity holds.
@@ILLUSI_O_N-V1 ohh.. ty for that.. and remind that Situation.. I mean i was wondering like "why do i recognize his voice somewhere". .. and there it it the Answer...
You were expecting a reaction but then he says "-gets me thinking about the relationship between the player and the designer" and you think "oh yeah this is the guy who made this game" and you prepare to be taught.
".....Speedrunners are exact opposite of devs, they look into the wood sculpture, analyzes it and break it apart to an extent......." **sees that the run is already over** ".....that's why I love speedruns bye".
Yeah, tried to sound wise while literally giving no insight as to what's happening with the speedrun .. title totally should be "dev reacts to speedrunning while doing a shakepearean impression".
This is kind of the perfect video. I love how Bennett Foddy's commentary here mirrors the commentary he gives in the game, which I genuinely enjoy listening to every time I play it.
"break it over their knee" more like, after appreciating every aspect of it, they understand its weak points and tap it lightly in a specific spot, and it crumbles
This should be the monologue that speed runners hear when they break the game

What’s crazy is that the perfect run could be cut down to about ~1:15
Are we even surprised it was narrated like this after all the dialogue in the game?
".....Speedrunners are exact opposite of devs, they look into the wood sculpture, analyzes it and break it apart to an extent......."
**sees that the run is already over**
".....that's why I love speedruns bye".
He's not wrong.
People tend to forget that speedrunners play the game millions times more than normal people do
This was supposed to be a reaction to the actual speedrun though .. not how he viewed speedrunners.
@@ijnatago8383 yeah but it literally sounded like an in game quote lol. He went all poetic in this reaction.
Yeah, tried to sound wise while literally giving no insight as to what's happening with the speedrun .. title totally should be "dev reacts to speedrunning while doing a shakepearean impression".
Love how even in a reactionary video, he’s still monologuing like he does in the game. 😂
Love that he didn’t even react to the speed run he just bantered about the concept of it
Well, the streamer really didn't do groundbreaking stuff, other than being super fast. The game worked as intended, just faster.
The guy who designed this game studied philosophy in college, and it shows from his commentary.
wise words from a man who made both the shortest and yet most frustrating game in recent time.
Honestly this was perfect it fit the games overall tone and it was a reaction of appreciation
This is kind of the perfect video.
I love how Bennett Foddy's commentary here mirrors the commentary he gives in the game, which I genuinely enjoy listening to every time I play it.
a speedrun is like a weight loss diet, people will marvel at the outcome but don't think about how hard the journey to that point was
"while this guy's warming up"
*stops talking when the speedrun ends*
Video title: 1 minute and 24 seconds
The Speed run: 1 minute and 27 seconds
Its 1m24s coz it reached sky at that moment n can't control his character anymore
@@SURAJSINGH-du1we nope 27
@@TheRisingTide89 if you pause at 1:38, it clearly mentions he beat it in 1:24.3
ZephyrUltimatum then what’s the point of the timer if the game will time it itself (besides showing the splits and whatnot)
@@fishonmydish7774 ask the speed runner, not me lol
"break it over their knee" more like, after appreciating every aspect of it, they understand its weak points and tap it lightly in a specific spot, and it crumbles
a much better title would be “Satan reacts to a 1 minute and 24 second speedrun.”
This just sounded like
a n o t h e r s e c t i o n of the game
still waiting for the sequel, Getting Over Himself with Bennet Foddy
best comment on this video.
Came for a reaction
Came back with a lesson
I just love how Markiplier went insane playing this, and this guy beats it in 86 seconds.
The speedrunner makes it look absurdly easy, but we all know it's not
A speedrunner is to a game designer what a gastronomic expert is to a chef
Guys calm down he's doing what he should be doing, just remember how he throws in poetry line when we mess up in the game
"it's not a bug, it's a feature"
-Speed runner community, probably
"Waiter, there's a feature in my bug"
Vinegar leg on the right

I've never wanted to tell someone to "shut up" so bad.
Clicked for the reaction, stayed for the lecture
"While this guy's getting warmed up, I just want to say something...oh...he's done already. "
Game Dev: Constructionist Artist
Speedrunner: Destructionist Artist
End Result: A Thing Of Beauty
Dev reacts to Moist Critikal's "Mr. Krabs Overdoses on Ketamin and Dies" 00:00:19:10 speedrun
he didnt react to the speedrun at all he just gave his thoughts on speedrunning in general
he did not understand the assignment.
You unlock this audio file if you can manage to get past the obstacles and beat the game under 2 minutes
"breaks the sculpture over their knee"
me: as they should for this game.
Dev: While he's warming up-
Player flies through the whole course before the dev finishes talking
"Is it possible to learn this power"

"not from a designer..."

"Just while this guy is warming up" - speedrunner beats game.
Did u get the joke or not???
Guy speedruns the game: Developer isn't _getting over it._
Even his commentary is poetic.
the entire game is
Speedrunner: *enjoying the game*
Bennet: p h i l o s o p h y
Speed runners are so fast they tell getting over it with Bennet Foddy to get over it
This is a great analogy, I love the different reactions devs have but this is the best one I've heard.
Legend has it that whenever Bennett Foddy speaks jazz music plays
underrated comment
This should be the monologue you hear of you beat the game under 2 minutes
Even now, Bennett is still a poetic boio with that calming voice
This was not a reaction to the speedrun in the video. This was just the guy talking about speed runs in general.
Bennet really loves his own voice lmao
love how he never talks about the run he just talks about the way speedrunners work
Speedrunner : (turns off the Narration)
Bennet Foddy : Guess I will narrate it again myself
