    This is mind blowing in every sense: the record itself, the history, the narration, the recams, the music...!
    And at the end you realize the vast majority of competitors jumped on the wrong side of that gap for years.
    This video truly deserve Karl Jobst grade view counts!

    • @Simon2d3d
      @Simon2d3d ปีที่แล้ว +10

      I got the impression they kind of did have the right spot for their momentum and speed. It was a pretty direct route and the jump just makes it. With the extra speed boost however, the 2nd window long jump pays off. He has enough boost where he needs to start early and air strafe to avoid hitting walls/ceiling.

    • @user-pm8je4fo7e

      Don't even compare this video to Karl Noobst's.
      This is presented in a league of its own. All Karl is good at is to, for no reason at all, slander people who are better gamers than him, such as legendary arcade gaming world champions. Karl is a jealous guy and I rate all his videos DOWN UNDER acceptable, just like his country of origin! It used to be an old prison colony so it is fitting that Karl the Unjust and Criminal is from there. It is no coincidence and surprise that he is getting sued all the time (rightfully so).

    3:09 shoutout to Markus Taipale. it's actually insane how good he was for the time. There's a reason that he has the records for basically all the most difficult levels in qdqwav, including literally all of E4. He's my favorite Quake speedrunner ever.

      IMO Attila's run would have been below 7 seconds (or at least very close to) if they'd done it a little more like Markus's run, couple of bits the angle wasn't quite clean especially the last hop to the exit portal.

    Great video. I'm not a Quake speedrunner at all, never paid attention to it at all, but this came across my feed and it's just... Idk, very soothing and low key in a way that I wish TH-cam promoted more of. The narration and music are great. The methodical explanation of the progression of the runs is also very interesting!

    This is the perfect speedrun video, you deserve the audience of the big time channels. It is the perfect length, with just the right amount of information and context to drive home the weight of the record without boring the audience. The tone both vocally and musically are fantastic, relaxed yet awe inspiring.
    If anyone else made this video it would be 45 minutes long, explaining the back story of every runner who has held the record for 27 years, over explaining game mechanics, etc.
