I remember the insane button mashing segment on euro extreme on the original version. I remember asking my bro to do it as he's the best button masher I've ever met, and not even he could accomplish the minute long feat. Happy to hear they nerfed it as I no longer have the rapid fire controller that scene required 😂
I’ve been playing MGS2 since i was like 7 or 8 and by the time i was 10 i had already completed it on every difficulty except euro extreme because i couldn’t get past the button smash. Then a few days ago I found my old ps2 and tried playing it and I completed it. I’m 18 now so it took like 8 years for me to get past it 😂😂😭
I'm super mad but super impressed. All this time I have spent trying to get through the tanker mission, that would take me up to 30 to 45 minutes to get through (minus olga) and come to find out that there are easy moments throughout the entire experience. 😤😤😤
Back when I was decent at this, the Ray Extreme fight was my favorite. Naturally I wasn't half as good as dlimes13, and had to dodge a lot of missiles, but it was the most exciting thing back in the ps2 era. (Even more exciting than Dante Must Die DMC3.)
Is it on eu-xtreme too, that if you shoot or knock when you come out the elevator the president will go to the wall to investigate and you'll have a clear Nikita shot everytime or?
No you're wrong, it's a glitch on the HD Collection version of the game. Here's a timestamped clip of how it should behave ua-cam.com/video/xOZzFGUjzd0/v-deo.html

Fantastic run, very informative and everyone has great banter. Shout-out to ESA for killing it with these events!
Still amazing seeing this game all these years later. Thanks for the excellent run, commentary and announcing
This is such a high quality mgs2 run damn
Commentators really added to the experience

That was what actually kept me from completing that game on European extreme. It was so unnaturally difficult I eventually just stopped trying.

cut of this fella coming into ESA and getting big boss like it was his birth right.
Gg limes, you killed it once again!
The commentary was a wonderful addition. Props to the guys for doing a good job.
I struggled to beat the game on EE and he just breezes through it like nothing.
So informative and so compelling to watch honestly, my most played game ever being played at the pinnacle of efficiency

Very interesting that the region differences include the buttons being switched. Every day is a school day, great run bro love this game
What a clean Big Boss run!
Man ur like a robot at times, so good, very nice run enjoying a lot!
52:50 a new style of CQC aka Close Quarter Comfort
Great showcase of the underrated MGS game
Lol, MGS2 is everything but underrated, often cited as the best with 3.
Stellar run, great work
It’s just unreal how easy you made that RAY fight look. I’ve tried to mimic your move set and everything. On EE, it’s insanely difficult
The ray fight gave me nightmares as a kid, dlimes demolished it

Lmao “Hi Josh, welcome to swimming. Did you bring your snorkel?”
This man is a mgs master.
Shout-out to his family
speedruns teach me more about the game then the actual game does lol
I LOVE MGS games ! Amazing run :)

I start running the game with no radar and it changes the gameplay entirely.
31:52 wow i could really gauge the distance between him and the screen hes playing on when that blank screen came up with the white light XD
This man is insane!!
Is it on eu-xtreme too, that if you shoot or knock when you come out the elevator the president will go to the wall to investigate and you'll have a clear Nikita shot everytime or?
Amazing shooting 38:44
What emblem did he get!!!!
Why HD version over the original?
Original is faster on codecs.
50:01 so there it is!
Great run! I can't even press my buttons that quickly
Amazing work. But skipping the cut scenes just feels blasphemous. 🤣
Wait so you can kill the 3 guard rush and it wont count against big boss rank? Man you guys are teaching me a lot in this run
Yeah due to the quick deaths, the screen fades out before the bodies disappear. You must get all three head shots in quick succession.
@52:40
The Emma Hug 😂
RAY-A05E
looks like
RAY-ROSE
I always wondered what the deal was with that. It has to be intentional right?
GG MAN
How did you survive the choke ?
Talking about the timers to get to areas being too long, don't forget dogtag runs.
Just gotta throw it out there that the infinite caution is from Raiden being unmasked up until the checkpoint where it disappeared. That’s no glitch.
that’s not true actually. If you don’t refresh the caution like that, the timer will run out.

😱😱😱
This game took me 2 weeks to beat
MGS2: Substance is my favorite game of the series. I could beat the game on hard, but on extreme I could not get past Fatman
Him, the harrier and the god damn rays. Fatman because it’s a lot of time management but there are ways to take him out fairly fast.
On extreme i just planted tons of claymores and shot him in the head
6:57 i reliked the video lol
I didnt know mark hamill did speedruns
go steelers
Yee
first
