My favorite thing about this progression (aside from the insane dedication of the runners) is how the devs changed things about 1-4 that didn't matter to anyone but speedrunners, namely inexplicably making V2 more slidey, and allowing the doors to open much faster.
tbh Slidey V2 is def something people probably wouldnt have even noticed outside of speedrunning but the doors always irritated me even when my fastest time on this level is like 40 seconds. slow doors just bad in general. ;(
lets just look at v2's perspective: you jump out of the window you see v1 diving at the speed of sound getting completely obliterated in mere seconds you're being pushed to the centre and you leaving in fear and dread
Ultrakill speedrunners are a whole different breed of insane. Like I’m genuinely scared by the speed, detection and strategies. In other words they abandoned their humanity to push a killing machine to its absolute limits.
Imagine witnessing V1 from a third person perspective flying through some random window at mach-jesus and a half, and then afterwards just absolutely removing V2's kneecaps from the plane of existence
great docu, really loved everything about it. the editing must've also been a pain, but everything fits together so perfectly that its on par if not better than docu youtubers with 1+ million subs. wishing you the best.
Lets go the comment I made on the other vid actually turned into something. Thanks for making things like this (and making me and probably other people feel validated ) also grinding for 10 was fucking dogshit awful
Although it's clear this was based off of Summoning Salt's videos, I love your spin on the genre of "Speedrun video essays". Very entertaining, thank you.
Once again, phenomenal job nova! Really cool seeing the community once again optimize new things to take down a fight that gave so many people a difficult time.
The ending when behead made V2 slide perfectly into the middle gave me goosebumps with the music sync at the end lmao, this is such a good video explaining the pain that is the 1-4 world record. The fact that we can see today how the speedrunning is progressing from these very same people in the video is my favourite thing about these breakdowns. I now fully understand the sheer insanity of the current 10:48 runs
I love how all the top speedrunners eventually started working together to shave time off. It also amazes me how they were saving literal milliseconds off at a time. Pure dedication.
It's extremely interesting. I'm not part of UltraKill community, not even a player, but THIS... THIS IS GREAT STUFF I enjoyed speedrunners-try, mechanics and the game itself, even without playing it Thank you so much for such a informative and high-quality documentary
That was a journey and a half lmfao Edit: just thought of this right after posting but as an ex speedrunner (of a different game mind you) these sorts of videos warm my heart so thank you nova and keep up the work
Something I will relentlessly enjoy is how polite a lot of speedrunning communities seem to be with each other. Even when there's some rivalries between runners, they seem quite cordial! While this is corny for me to say, it's honestly inspiring to see a runner hype someone else up because they beat that runner's own record.
I really like that Hakita has the level rating down that most of the best speed runs are P or S rank, and that he seemed to be consistently aware of the tiniest details irritating a very small portion of players
the absolute degeneracy shown by the end of the video sent my sides into orbit, this is the kind of stuff i just love to see, and to be honest i wasn't expecting to get so invested in an hour long video, but got me so hooked too, an incredible work of art from all the speedrunners of 1-4, may your carpal tunnel healing be swift lol and you too Nova

that "...con lentidud poderosa" gave me so many goosebumps, literally all of them. Also seeing almost every person that was mentioned in the video here in the comments saying how 1-4 is poopoo or just being silly made me laugh
What I love is that discovering a fun little bug caused an entire fucking speedrun strategy that revolutionized the entire V2 Clair de lune fight by just staight skipping it, of course not mentioning the slight push to save 48 miliseconds of time, or the clinical insane asylum launches.
The day the patch notes for the doors came out, if you listened very closely, you could faintly hear heavy breathing in the distant distance and the word Hakita... on the breeze.
Today i had a weird glitch that got me stuck inside the celling after i tried shotgun parrying to fly. The difference is that i was only partialy stuck, with gun sticking out. All i did was just to stay here and snipe down v2 with revolver, while he was just looking at me like ,,come down here b#tch i ain't done with you". All i did then was to repeat the shotgun parry after V2 got defeated and i got back to the map. Truely the no hit run of all time
Every single time a run was shown after we saw the first frame arm cutscene skip I kept thinking 'Still timesave left' And I have no clue if I'm right or pushing makes first frame impossible
actually its just that one update broke that bug, per se first frame arm grab is still possible but it is visually different for reasons that no one will probably ever know weird videogame

this video has inspired me to start ultrakill speedrunning
edit: i wanna die in a hole
Update us when you lose your sanity
I was stuck on this level for a while and then this video taught me how to P it, and it's my first P rank.
Thanks, Nova.
a cool documentary on the most overrated level in the entire game
edit: shoutouts to the replies literally being speedrunners WHO ARE IN THE CREDITS agreeing with me and random people thinking that we all must be wrong

true tbh, 1-4 just keeps getting worse somehow
@@afinnishfishnet7366 nah you havent run the level optimally. it gets more difficult and less consistent every single time. ask anyone at the top of the leaderboard, it's soul crushingly frustrating and repetitive.
collin is correct
yea, current strats just. suck. old perfectly optimal strats were harsh but thats to be expected from near perfection, still had its fun to it. not anymore! current routing is horrible!!!!
I'm subbing. I watched this whole video and I didn't get bored at all. Great video. It felt like 20 mins past. Awesome video.
can't wait to go mad over searching for an image after watching the video!
i assure you there is a single frame :)
Is that it at 36:45? Right when he starts saying "not only that"
I saw what looked like a flash of eyes and when I turned up the brightness it scared the shit out of me lmao
@@Werwa_ the one I was looking for was 37:21 , but you also found out an easteregg (as of now I know of 3)
@@TheSast yeah, after some digging I found 3 other faces like the one I posted. At 12:25, 14:31, and 17:01.
@@Werwa_ dam, I gotta ask nova how many eastereggs he put in the video, at this rate at least one will be found each week
...con lentitud poderosa goes UNIMAGINABLY hard especially in this context. Never had a wider smile on my face watching a speedrun video
Sure, I have time to watch an hour long video on the speedrunning of one level in a game I've never heard of
