    What I love about this game is that there are so many routes to go and choose from. In this speedrun there are many places I don't even recognize at all. Playing this as a kid back in the day, without any tips from the internet like we have today, this was the most difficult game I played. Im not even sure if I got to complete it

    I love that the speedrunner explains the methods to his madness. It makes for a much more entertaining watch than most speedruns I've watched.

    I am definitely not an fps guy. But Jedi Knight I and II are the exceptions to the rule: these games are brilliant in gameplay, level design and character progression. And it's not just nostalgia: I actually replayed them 2 years ago.
    Damn... Kyle Katarn, Revan, The Exile... Truely a Star Wars golden age for video games.

    I absolutely loved this game as a kid even if it was pretty difficult at times. I even had the patience to go through it several times because my CD had a funky problem that corrupted the saves at random at the Gorc and Pic fight.
    Watching the runner do all sorts of tricks and blazing through this game is absolutely amazing.

    I guess the devs wanted to stay true to the force. That's why colliding to a wall in high speed damages you.

    The most entertaining run I've ever watched mostly due to the sheer speed the game is played. Also, this is one of the three PC games I own physically, the other two being Half-Life 1 and 2, what else could it be? :)

    This is insane! Can't even imagine the amount of time he had to waste to achieve this level of awesomeness/perfection, and the way he's using the mouse...wow. Jedi Academy had shitty mouse controls from 90s (damn you quake engine) with a addition of moonwalk gravity movement, but this is just crazy. I can't even speedrun Academy properly, goddamn mouse doesn't make it easier for me, I guess trying Dark Forces 2 is pointless, hehe. The reaction time, the positioning of PC...fucking hell. The scariest part is not when a speedruner can finish a game by using various glitches cutting the game's runtime by 95% but when he does that by just being so damn good at it.

    One thing I love about speedrunning is that it makes me remember that I don't have to kill everyone to get to the end of the level... Every game I play I feel like I have to just look at someone in the eyes kill them and move on to the very next person and let them meet the same fate as their... co worker?

  • @lurkerrekrul
    @lurkerrekrul 6 років тому +24

    My record is 0.25 seconds. I was able to achieve this time by exploiting an amazing shortcut that I just discovered. Apparently this shortcut has been sitting in plain sight for years, but all the speed runners missed it, until now! What you do is, on the main menu, you click the word "Credits" at the bottom of the screen and it bypasses ALL the levels and takes you directly to the ending of the game! You can keep your TD jumps and blowing your corpse through to the end of levels, I figured out how to skip the whole game!
    Beat that!

    • @lurkerrekrul
      @lurkerrekrul 6 років тому +3

      I'm not sure what you mean. The whole point of a speedrun is to get to the end of the game as quickly as possible, by any means necessary, bypassing as much of the game as you can in the process. I bypassed the entire game and went directly from the main menu to the ending. If exploiting bugs to skip entire levels counts, then surely clicking the button that takes you directly to the credits is a valid method.

    • @lurkerrekrul
      @lurkerrekrul 6 років тому +1

      +John Rich - Why is it valid for a speed runner to use glitches to skip entire levels, but it's not OK to just skip the entire game and go directly to the credits? When you beat the game the credits play, so I used the quickest method possible and went directly to the end.
      Consider this; If there was a bug in a game that let you instantly complete any level by jumping and spinning at the same time, speed runners would just start each level, jump, spin and go on to the next one where they'd do the same thing over and over until they reached the end of the game. Speed runners play as little of the game as they can in order to get to the end of the level. If there's a glitch that will let them skip ahead 2-3 levels they'll use it.
      So if they don't even have to play the levels, why bother to play any of the game?
