Don't feel bad. Even when we can count up enough friends, even enough who dig the same game, it's a perpetual curse of never being able to get everyone available at the same time anyway lol, even if everyone met by playing a match at the same time by happenstance to begin with :P So you're not missing much, as this goes
@@wookops2523 Agreed! Just a few weeks ago, I had someone at work tell me something (can't remember exactly, it was some emotion they were having or something). I repeated what they said back to them to demonstrate I understood and was listening before addressing what they said and they go "No, that's not what I'm saying". So I apologize, ask them to repeat it and they say the same thing. Again, I say "So it's (repeat exactly what they said), right?" They say "Never mind, you don't even want to listen to me" and I was left wondering if I just got in a UA-cam comments argument IRL 🤣
Honestly the concept of a group working in tandem to complete a game at a possibly faster speed than a solo player could?, that just sounds cool. really cool.
@King It's crazy to me that people make strangely vague comments and even more crazy that they seem oddly like a bad attempt at instigating an argument
That shit can happen in Team Fortress 2 occasionally. It's the funniest fucking thing to see someone look like they took a grenade or rocket to the head, then proceed to fall over like they slipped
Your writing and narration is so well-done that even the parts I knew kept me engaged wondering what will come next, plus the explanations were perfect. Brilliant video!
This guy speaks so well that I watch his videos even though I don’t soeedrun nor play most the games he makes videos about. He does a great job of keeping my interest
For a game that was designed from the ground up to be a cooperative experience, I find it rather appropriate, and a tad ironic, that the latest speedrun strats for it revolve around cooperative gameplay.
Crediting the music used for the video in the description is honestly such an underrated thing for creators to do. Thank you so much for taking the time to do it. May your video be further blessed by the algorithm.
Best wishes for healing that up! Behave and take it slowly, nothing is lamer than pushing a little too fast with a cranky ligament and having to start over with an even slower healing speed lol. They're cranky brats but they heal up okay if you're patient. Hope it goes well!
I now have a primal urge to see Speedrun versus. The score tallies by each round's completion time instead of the traditional scoring, and two teams of speedrunners face off while also playing infected in a counter speedrun way. I think it would be so cool to see.
Your video quality has increased insanely man, seriously awesome video. I was never that interested in Left 4 Dead 2 speedruns up until you have made videos on it.
Gotta admit you're probably one of my favorite speedrun channels on this entire site! Great explanations of source game jank so that my monkey brain can understand it
I've noticed the useful perks of the quick AFKs, and been planning to keybind it myself (I'm not a real speedrunner though, just a mediocre player who likes to make up for my poor skills with fun binds). I'm not even one minute into this video yet but I'm very excited to hear what you have to say! XD Edit afterwards: Yep, awesome and informative, as always. Thanks for all your excellent content and hard work, dude :)
Hot damn these are some 5head skips. Love seeing how creative these get, reminds me a little bit like duo tricking videos for quake 3 except not as crazy as these warps.
lets go, Left 4 Dead 2 speedruns have always been insanely fun to watch and suuuper unrecognized by the majority of the speedrunning community. i love seeing it get some spotlight for once
I remember finding the grenade launcher boost. Me and my friends used to use that glitch on Bridge survival. We used launch ourselves up into the sky and survive as long as we could.
I remember our friends and I figured out that going AFK by disconnecting the controller (we were playing on Xbox) was a pretty effective tactic for the hardest difficulties, since bots have perfect aim and they even have some degree of wallhacks that let them spot zombies that would not be visible to human players. We effectively had a lead player trying to run as fast as possible while three bots acted as the best cheerleaders we could afford.
A fine choice on background music. If you like Machine Girl's music, I'd recommend Renegade Android, Boys Hotel, Starlit, Tokyopill, Optic Core or Casper Mcfadden.
Interesting video. Always curious as to how speed running would work for a co-op designed game like left 4 dead, also good to see a fellow machine girl enjoyer
Those three comments at the start were hilarious. "You shouldn't be allowed to use glitches in a speedrun" Why the hell not? The whole point is how fast you can physically beat the game at all. You don't want to see glitches? That's what a GLITCHLSS speedrun is for
It's so crazy I got recommended this purely on the fact that it was all because I happen to listen to the starting song Cyan Hardcore I was listening to it just before this UA-cam sure has some algorithm

ill never have a problem with speedrunning, unless it's in the versus mode for this game like, you have 3 people you did NOT tell anything to before zipping through the level before we even notice and then scooped up by a smoker because you, again, didn't say anything about blazing through the level at competitive speeds other than that, cool informative video that i like good
I swear the god the speedrunning community is consisted of the smartest and also the most stubborn group of people on the planet earth for being able to discover all these nitty gritty details in games and continue to do the same shit over and over for years just because we want to xD
Friendship with three other actual humans is a prerequisite I just can't meet

If you think three is bad, you need 5 to do raid speedruns in destiny, and those are insane.
Not to mention having said 3 friends also having Left 4 Dead 2, A PC, and want to actually play with you. Not possible
co-op speedruns have massive potential in almost any game that has them. they seem a lot more fun to watch and speedrun competitions would be insane
I agree. I wish they had this. if you want something similar they have multiplayer versus tournaments even to this day and it's very entertaining
I wonder how cool can it be watching speedrunners playing l4d versus mode
@King it's a fun skill, why not?

The part where the spitter just absolutely dunks you is hilarious. I love when games have janky fall damage calculation.
It looked like he exploded for a moment, was funny as shit lmao.
16:24
Reminds me of punching boxes in halo 2 having a decent chance of instantly killing you lol
That shit can happen in Team Fortress 2 occasionally. It's the funniest fucking thing to see someone look like they took a grenade or rocket to the head, then proceed to fall over like they slipped
reddit moment
My 15-year-old sibling learned by themselves that going idle can save you from fall damage, I was honestly surprised
Why? It’s not like teens are idiots are anything
@@Lanoman123 didn't say they were dumb but to stumble upon a very useful exploit with very little understanding of glitches randomly is impressive
The gays

The player warp seems to work just fine when the bots are dead.
It just sends you to the afterlife instead of where the bots died.
i mean, it is still sending you to the bots, seeing as how they are in the afterlife

This is definitely me when I go away from keyboard in my Left 4 Dead 2 cooperative speedruns
Partial ACL tear no problem waifu makes it all better with this video.

Listening to Machine Girl while speedrunning gives you a ~5 second save
Even if it ain't the world record, you'd deserve it for listening to machine girl
@@BLANKONTOP MG makes it feel like you're on world record pace
What is Machine Girl?
@@itsnetts if you like these weird japanese movies machine girl is definitely for you
@@isdead9152 Sorry, what Japanese movies? I can't recall anything of the sort in this video? I'm just asking what Machine Girl is.
Legit took me 1 second of the video to hear machine girl music, then i see the chapters and description, nice choice of music all of them are bangers
Hot damn these are some 5head skips. Love seeing how creative these get, reminds me a little bit like duo tricking videos for quake 3 except not as crazy as these warps.
Yesss Waifu Please upload more lfd2 I love the content. And all the other stuff I'm loving it so far
I was ready for some really heavy tea, but instead I am being schooled about the speedrun.
Thanks Waifu!
"The player will get themselves stuck. And no, step bro can't help you"
This is why I'm subbed
lets go, Left 4 Dead 2 speedruns have always been insanely fun to watch and suuuper unrecognized by the majority of the speedrunning community. i love seeing it get some spotlight for once
cheaters is not speedruners
@@kaimas1005 please explain by “cheaters”...
Do you just see any% as cheating or?
@@kaimas1005 Explain please we're all waiting do you mean them just bhoping all the way or just finding bugs you can use to get to the end faster
Waifu makes the most informative and interesting speedrun tech videos
I remember finding the grenade launcher boost.
Me and my friends used to use that glitch on Bridge survival. We used launch ourselves up into the sky and survive as long as we could.
took me a second to realize machine girl was playing! those are my friends! they just scored the game Neon White check it out
When he said *"and no step bro can help you" 5:34 got me ☠️☠️☠️
this is the purest expression of speedrunning i've ever seen.
6:32 damn this speed run is kinda impossible with that requirement
I remember our friends and I figured out that going AFK by disconnecting the controller (we were playing on Xbox) was a pretty effective tactic for the hardest difficulties, since bots have perfect aim and they even have some degree of wallhacks that let them spot zombies that would not be visible to human players.

Fantastic video. Keep up the quality.
GL with the runs. Just now getting through my watch later
A fine choice on background music.

Babe wake up Waifuruns uploaded a new Lfd2 speedrun video
Kill-la-kill scissor reference at 1:00 exactly
Edit: I love the reps and guitar bro 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Managed to pick up the last 360 copy of left 4 dead 2 still in plastic, certifiably golded that
Left 4 dead is unique even in speedrun territory, amazing game
Interesting video. Always curious as to how speed running would work for a co-op designed game like left 4 dead, also good to see a fellow machine girl enjoyer
Just saw the game lineup for SGDQ and when I saw L4D2 I was hoping you would be in there. Stoked when I saw that you were! See you there!
going idle while shooting the grenade launcher and doing massive damage is potential for shenanigans, i shall put this to use with my friends
0:16 - Its already 2022 and there are still some people still dont know that there can be different speedrun categories
I love these videos so much, but man. I felt like am in a physics class for a second or two 😂😂
Those three comments at the start were hilarious. "You shouldn't be allowed to use glitches in a speedrun" Why the hell not? The whole point is how fast you can physically beat the game at all. You don't want to see glitches? That's what a GLITCHLSS speedrun is for
6:32 God damnit! My speedrunnig career is over.
l4d2 lives forever
Man, coop seems a ton more enjoyable than having to play solo and ЯЕSTAЯT BLEAT
time to run it then
@@WaifuRuns did you not know you can press esc -> take a break instead of waiting 10 seconds?
perfectly describes coop speedruns from the little ive experienced with it
Reading the title as an ESL for a second I thought all speedrunners quit speedrunning L4D2 or something.
I recently got into L4D2, I came from CSS and bhoped all the time. In L4D2 I can go faster and better. Love this game
seeing nick at 10:03 is some of this funniest shit ive ever seen out of this game
Nick: I live i Spain without the A
His Team: So you live in Spin?
Nick: 10:03
didn't expect to hear machine girl in a left 4 dead speedrun video lmao
It's so crazy I got recommended this purely on the fact that it was all because I happen to listen to the starting song Cyan Hardcore I was listening to it just before this UA-cam sure has some algorithm
a group of speedrunners in multiplayer vs the player zombies would be fun to watch.

found this vid 4 minutes before his GDQ run. watching rn
@ 2:20 my man casually using ESDF layout and hoping noone would notice lmao
5:39 heh look, ellis has a little sword now.
ellis gets his head stuck in the railing before yeehawing his way back to the base
10:04 Nick turns into a Helicopter, lol.
I added acid completely unaware he was a speed runner just met him like a normal friend pretty fun to play with
love the fantano reference
damn never heard a machine girl song in a video, love to see it
ill never have a problem with speedrunning, unless it's in the versus mode for this game
like, you have 3 people you did NOT tell anything to before zipping through the level before we even notice and then scooped up by a smoker because you, again, didn't say anything about blazing through the level at competitive speeds
other than that, cool informative video that i like good
"No stepbro can't help you"
Bill Cosby sure can
This is awesome! Cool video.
Ik this is a l4d2 vid but I'm gonna say this to the RE4 remake devs
"ILL BUY IT AT A HIGH PRICE"
Good video.
Could have been 4 minutes though.
The direct correlation between speedrunners and unnecessarily long videos is hilarious.
Good Video Waifu!
>Watches the entire video
>only picks up on go AFK when shooting grenade launcher to whole team
L4D2: Im stuck!😇
Real life: Im stuck!😳
Thumbnail looking like the Killer7 mission select screen
Machine girl with L4D goes insanely hard bro
that guitar bvehind you is sick
Lol dude, awesome backgroun, Nice kill la kill swords, where did yo get or buy it?
Hmmm I gotta learn these runs. I’ve been wanting to get all achievements on the Xbox games.
Cant wait till the sgdq run my dude
Remember in pre any patch L4D1 the tank had 8K HP on any difficulty?
Thank you man for sharing this stuff
"stepbro can't help you'
me:NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
based machine girl bg music
Me, an man who stays succumbed on my chair and gets out of it at night: i don't need rest >:)
10:04 how nick was spinning like that?
The person who wants to spin needs to tab out of the game and then tab back in once you're onscreen during the cutscene there
popped off when i saw the muty clip :) s/o Half-Life runners
I swear the god the speedrunning community is consisted of the smartest and also the most stubborn group of people on the planet earth for being able to discover all these nitty gritty details in games and continue to do the same shit over and over for years just because we want to xD
What a fun video, and on one of the best games of all time
I’m still here, I’m left4dead almost everyday speed running 🥺
9:17 is that machine girl in the background I can barley hear it
I figured it out 🙏 u gotta good taste in music 😂
This may sound dumb but I want to speedrun but don't know how to start and a little intimidated I was wondering what I should do?
jjoin the discord for the game you are interested in and make some friends! and just give it a try
@@WaifuRuns Ok I will thank for everything ❤
This game is always interesting to learn about
"all it requires is having 3 friends" that's the most impossible task i'm not even my own friend
4:01 the voice crack 💀
Well, that livestream was a no go on July 1st.
The sight of a pack of gamers b-hopping in l4d2
Nick: I like to SPEEEeeEEeEeeEEeEEeeeeEEeeeeen
19:20 POV: you joined a public expert lobby
I don’t remember left for dead having a jump mechanic honestly like I’m feeling the Mandela effect rn.
It can also be activated by pausing and hitting "Take a Break", dunno why you didn't mention that
I have had bunny hopping explained to me multiple times but have still not really learned how to do it right.
