How Speedrunners DESTROYED The (Former) Hardest Challenge In ULTRAKILL
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2022
- ULTRAKILL is a hard game, but there is a level that rises above the rest in terms of sheer difficulty. Not only that, but there is a challenge the game allows for that makes any level noticeably more difficult. In this video I go over the hardest challenge on the hardest level, and how dedicated players of the game absolutely destroyed a level that should've been much, much harder.
Current World Record by Westaxle: • ULTRAKILL | P-1 P% - 1...
(Edit) Errata because I got a few things wrong:
THE BIG ONE: The 30:17 bit where I go off about the exponential multiplier, I accidentally said and implied that it was exponential DAMAGE. It is not. The exponential multiplier applies to STYLE. NOT to damage. (This was a certified TiredNova moment).
27:45-27:48 should have Travis’s name, not Queck’s. Editing is hard.
The slab (or alternate) revolver existed before this level did. I mentioned it after that acting like it didn’t exist for some reason. It existed prior to Travis's 1:31. My brain saw the update it received around that time and put some pieces together incorrectly.
There's several points where I go off about the nailgun being buffed before Queck uses it in a run. Although that was nice, the main reason is because there was a glitch in where you couldn't place magnets in arenas (this was actually thought to be intentional as a way to stop players from doing exactly what happened).

This is great. I'm not saying this since I'm featured.
clearly an unbiased reviewer
im your #3 fan travis
Your style is low travis. Try switching weapons from time to time, it’s disgusting the way you play.
How tf did the community agree on saw con so seriously
queck quack
Speedrunners HATE him! Find out how THIS duck saved 1/10th of a second with this simple trick!
should've had that as the title tbh lmao
Man, these 1/10th of seconds saves are addicting, I've been scavangeig for these in the back alleys after getting first few of em.
This trick is called "git gud" and consists of being faster

I'll say it again. The speedrunners weren't lying. P-ranking all of Act 1 isn't a challenge. Its a warning.
oh hey i like this guys videos too 😮😮😮
True I just P ranked act1 and killed fp and minos
For Minos
Yeah it took me longer to p rank act 1 and half of act 2 than to kill minos
It is a warning that the entire player base elects to ignore
I was at 14:24, i slept over 30 minutes of the video and in my dream my mom was explaining chain coin and death coin mechanics to a stranger in the street
What a dream.
Same happened to me, developed into a truly strange dream
So you weren't watching but still absorbed the information?
How can I do this with college?
Your mom is a true gamer my friend
that happened to my buddy mark once
Normal devs: "we need to fix this bug asap"
Hakita: "It's a canon now lol"
Hakita is a goddamn chad. I remember the time someone said that the cheats were “too OP and too easy to access”, to which Hakita replied with “well don’t cheat then”
Meanwhile, there's an MMO developer that's known for their "no fun allowed"(TM) stance on things. They briefly had headbanging mounts due to a glitch, but you know... "no fun allowed", so they broke the glitch (by fixing it).
I'm happy to see Overkill got a Chad dev who just makes it canon instead! :D
@@NostraDavid2 I am curious.
What game are you talking about that is run by a Discord Moderator stereo type?
@@duality5785 "Do you have the slightest idea of how little it narrows it down?"
@@ExcaliburHeavyBattlecruiser hehehehe
8:16 I know this is irrelevant to a video, but I love how stray just walks away with a swordmachine from a player, and it's like they're holding hands
I honestly didn’t even know that was possible I was (probably) visibly confused by the fact that the boy just LEFT
LMAO they did NOT like you ruining their bestie reunion and left
this sucks when you try to P rank the level and then you just can’t get enough kills

@@maxwellmegagamer8535or a wall you can break I don’t remember
queckquack: I do not know if the minos is dead or alive until I check inside the box
"SEE THY END"
queckquack: shut up
Dude went and legitimately beat his own glitch reliant record. Absolute fucking legend
I'm an ultrakill nerd, but no speedrunner. Its great to see this development get recorded, I was always curious about it
Great vid!
Keep the great work king, love your videos
@@knoxzedlav7343 ultrakill is majorly underpriced for how much enjoyment you can get out of it. At 5:49 YellowSwerve seems to agree :)
@@DarkNova28 imagine being a doom 100% Ultra Nightmare speedrunner and playing this game
I don't know why but describing a giant spine leading into aassive set of teeth then falling into a fleashy tunnel as. "Walk down some stairs into a door landing in a hallway." Made me laugh.
I'm pretty sure when going over the Harmless changes you say that Minos' Judgment doesn't hurt you if you pay it because it's explosion doesn't have a hitbox, and I do think this is true nowadays. But in the footage they're clearly taking damage - I believe this might be something that was changed with a patch.
Correct, it typically doesn't, but to my knowledge that only occurs when Minos is still over 1/2 health. Parrying no longer cancels the explosion if Minos has used the "WEAK!" voice line once he's below half health (as he was at 18:43, which is what I believe you're referring to)
I'm pretty sure the slab revolver was released before the run where you mentioned it, as it's visible in Travis' 1.34 run
You’re right, I might have mentioned it after the fact. That’s my bad, but thanks for correcting me!
Yeah it was released long before P-1
it was literally in the act 1 release, a year or two before P-1 (if I had to guess)
@@Mate_Antal_Zoltan P-1 was released April 2021 on Homestuck Day, a little under seven and a half months from the game's EA launch on September 3, 2020, the first public version with the Alternate Revolver (I don't think anyone's delved into the post-demo pre-EA builds to figure out when precisely it was added yet but someone might someday).
Alright, "Saw Con" got me.
Awesome video, this is so much more in-depth than I expected it would be! Makes me want to practice deadcoins more so I can work on my own speedruns...
8:10 this runner also does a 'coinadd'. Due to the hit lag you can actually throw an extra coin after the first two and get in another reflect even though you didn't throw a third coin.
Only the ULTRAKILL community would have a legitimate controversy and find a way to call it fucking SAWCON.
Amazing video though man, was super in depth, you explained stuff in a way that helped my peanut brain understand, and you were just interesting and nice to listen to!
SawCon is such an ultrakill name for a tech it’s not even funny.
Also glad to hear my way of explaining is good 🙂
Dont worry, its not even the stupidest name for tech. A new dumb name was literally made today for a strategy, but the best one will always be scihzo-boosting. (If you shoot a shotgun you gain a tiny bit of momentum in the direction you shoot, when I mean tiny I mean tiny. It takes over 2 hours to get across 0-4 using only schizo-boosts.)
@@DarkNova28 so is there eventually going to be stuff called deez joe ligma mike updog candice and stuff?
@@litterbox019 This is the ultrakill community, it's only a matter of time
@@Mothbean i will be watching your career with great interest
Ever since act 2 dropped I changed my strat for tackling p-1 (I’m not a speedrunner btw). First off the rocket launcher makes nuking more consistent for FP, especially freezeframe. Second, I put a magnet onto Pinos after my saw and overheat nail trap to attract rockets to the boss, go airborne INTENTIONALLY to get Pinos to use an uppercut, and then shoot my rockets at him since they do the boosted explosion when he is in the air.
....watching people kill Minos before he can even take a step is a very painful thing to watch after looking at the days of grinding it took me to just regularly kill him for the first time.
excited to see the P-2 version of this video in a few years XD
Good Ending: Infinite Sawcon defeated

*dies in under 2 seconds*
And my punishment... is DEATH
i cant express how much i love this love and effort filled video, its def amazing; mostly because of how new viewer or unexperienced player-friendly it is
I've never even heard of ULTRAKILL but this video was so exciting to me. Super interesting and well made. I'm not even sure I want to play the game, even though it looks so awesome, it was just a wild, cool ride. Thanks DarkNova :)
"And thy punishment... IS DEATH" followed immediately by audible groaning as minos dies
when i saw this video in my recommended i wasn't expecting much from it, yet i got a very engaging and well made video so big props to you for managing to make this video as long and engaging as it was.
And 50:08 was smoother than it had any right to be
I am third of the first people in the world to beat minos prime blindfolded and i really enjoyed watching this video and relating to it. I hope you can find success in your youtube career!
*what*
It's like FCing Through the Fire and Flames on Guitar Hero 3. Before you do it, at the best you are considered a good player, consistent, well rounded, not bad by any means. P-rank Flesh Prison and Minos Prime? Welcome to the hall of kings, enjoy your throne.
Real story: it took me more tries to P-rank 3-1 than it took me to P-rank P-1. I don't know howww or why, but I'm blaming Mindflayers.

Fantastic job on the video, hope you do some more analyses like these in the future.

i havent played ultrakill yet, ive only ever been interested in its speedrunning, but this video singlehandedly more than convinced me to buy and play this game myself. it seems so badass. thank you
How do you only have 246 subscribers??? You deserve MUCH more than that. This video was awesome
This video was so in depth and explained everything so well! Fantastic work and I can’t wait for more stuff from you!
Even though I lost interest ULTRAKILL speedrunning or even ULTRAKILL in general a long time ago, but I still like observing what have they done and achieved because I still fucking love this game
43:00 YOOO I'm in the video
@@gravityshark580 LMAO I thought that’s why you said something 😂
I've never heard a saw con joke used with such an elaborate setup before.
well done.
i love how queckquack's response to the controversy behind Saw Con and their run was to get an even faster time after the saws got nerfed
i absolutely love watching speedrunning stuff, i don’t do anything like this but it’s so cool to see the optimisation.
i love how you explain this so that its also easier for viewers outside of ultrakill to understand, its great!
41:41
Look ma' it me!

"And thy punishment... is DEATH-" *gets fucking EVISCERATED instantly*
I just found that hilarious lol
Cannot wait for that 1-4 video.
summoning salt music
I imagine this is how the exchange with queckquack went down;
"Your run is invalid because you used a bug that's no longer accessible, try doing it without your crutch strat."
"Ok."
"Wait wha-"
"and thy punishment is dea- AHHHHH!" It's actually crazy how quick the soul of the former king of lust can get goofied on by a silly blue robot.
I can’t stress this enough. But the reason ultrakill is the BEST SINGLEPLAYER FPS (I’m not exaggerating) is because the bosses teaches you skills you will need for future bosses, and to heal, you need to ACTUALLY PLAY THE GAME
Got this recommended after watching the max0r video on this game. Beautifully cut man.
i don't know why but this absolute banger of a video got recommended to me and made me buy ultrakill
5 star service i guess...
also, nice video and excellent narration dude i loved it
What a great documentary! You should keep doing these, they are so good!
Great video. I hope you make more of these. I've watched it 5 times by now.
And thy punishment... IS DEATH
Fucking explodes.
this was a great watch, thank you for making this vid!
Ultrakill is like DOOM if it was fed pure cocaine for 3 days
P2 releases and flips the entirety of "ultrakill hard challenges" on its head
Can’t wait for the history of P-2 P% speedrunning lol
This was really professionally created, with a really good script. Props to you, DarkNova.
Great video! beat me to the punch of making a speedrun history vid about an ultrakill level lol
Man I really enjoyed this video, this video singlehandedly got me into ultrakill
Never played the game (but have my eyes on it cause I'm a big Quake/Doom fan), but watched the entire video. You did a great job putting everything together
Community: SawCon is broken, you can't use it!
Queckquack: Fine, i will beat that myself
Dude the way that players find those coin chains, projectile boosts and hakita is like "it's a feature lol"
great vid, entertaining and informative 👍
Exactly what I needed and was looking for! Thanks!!
Can't wait for the P-2 version of this 😁👍
wow it's really cool to see a video about one of the leaderboards I run on! (as much as I'm definitely not good enough yet to warrant being featured in the video haha) such a cool video man, keep it up
This video was really entertaining, watched the full video and didn't got bored
imagine being the soul kept alive purely by willpower, the soul belonging to the former king of the second layer of hell, judge of hell and being killed by a walking camera launching a few sawblades
I love this, the way you explain the details and progress while making everything clear and entertaining is really good
I'm no speedrunner nor have I ever played this game.
Idk what I'm doing here, but I feel like I've stumbled over an alien civilization or something.
Great video on a great game. I could never imagine trying for P rank in every level , crazy how good people are at this game.
Really enjoyable video man! Think I'll pick this game up soon :D
46:24 that entire speedrun felt like watching a maxor clip not gonna lie
As a duck myself i speak for all of us wheb i say quackquack has made duck history
I love hearing quack quack in a serious speedrunning discussion lol

37:51 the number 17 will haunt me for a while, as I’ve been working on unlocking P-1 as a new-ish player and I missed the score requirement for both 20k volts and sheer heart attack by 17 points
Legendary video. Got this game 2 weeks ago, and have sunk in 50 hours into it. I love seeing the community experiment, and find new ways to break the game.

Watched the whole video, suffice to say this is a good video keep up the great work
7 months later
, now players can p-rank this fist only, no damage
This video is incredible. Really surprised to see that it’s your first on this channel? This video is like summoning salt tier quality
Good vid. You should do more speed run docs. I never heard if this game but this was interesting and fun.
Hope you'll be making more videos like this. It was very entertaining
Who would win. A legendary fighter capable of going face to face against some of the angels which are one of the most powerful creatures in the Ultrakill universe.
Or a duck
clearing p-1 even once was tough, i cant even imagine trying to p-rank it, let alone to this insane level! swag vid!!
I did some minos speedrunning a while back never got anywhere and was pretty sloppy but loved watching this fight become the "hardest" to it being beating in under 1minute and 15 seconds
How are you not even 200 subs wtf ???????? You're insane man
Someone needs to stop that duck.
Gotta love just how fukin *broken* the coin used to be lmao
Ok but seriously why is this video so rewatchable
"Now the grappling hook may not seem like a big change"
Bro. The meat hook is the best thing to ever happen to doom. I could see immediately how having a grappling hook would change combat forever
Honestly waiting for a tactical nuke to be able to be called when ultrakill is done
Its called ultranuking afaik, blue shotgun altfire then red railcannon
You helped me P rank this level today. Ready and waiting for 2-P. Thanks!
did u p rank p2
Great background music, I was vibing the whole time
Minos doesn't teleport, he's so fast the earth behind him shatters
man i really need to start playing ultra kill, ive had it in my steam library for a year with only 1 hour in it basically getting past the prelude, this really makes me want to play it more now
you guys are all insane, i love this community
good script and solid quality video!
Great video hope the video abd yourself get the recognition it needs
When minos prime says “Die” it is a subtle nod to the fact that he will kill you
Simply commenting so the algorithm can bless this amazing video
as a fellow p-1 speedrunner, i very much appreciate this video
cheers!
