Metal Gear Solid 1 Speedrun - PC Any% Very Easy -

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ส.ค. 2021
- ====UPDATE====
Very Easy, particularly on the PC version is a very unique category. I've seen a few comments of people confused, or suggesting this isn't a legitimate run. This run is verified on Speedrun.com by the Metal Gear Speedrunner community. For more details on why Very Easy is so different, please check out the MGSR Wiki: metalgearspeedrunners.com/wik...
I can also confirm that I've now since beaten this time! The VOD from last night's stream which contains commentary throughout is now available, and should help a little way to understanding what Very Easy is all about: • Metal Gear Solid 1 Spe...
====ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION====
Boba of Yogscast fame, today accidentally glitched through the Comms Tower A door halfway up the room. The community were straight on it and within hours it had been replicated consistently, using a Chaff Grenade rather than the original SOCOM. As a result, we can shave 2 minutes off a PC run and 2:30 minutes off a Console run by skipping the Rappel section. See 08:20 for the strat in use.
In turn, I present the [former] World Record for PC Any% Very Easy, the world's first sub-30 minute run of Metal Gear Solid. It's not perfect, I usually throw the bomb that Ocelot puts in your inventory immediately after Rappel and subsequently forgot, so there is a death in here. Couple of other bits were a little sloppy and PAL key wasn't best RNG so there's some save there.

the bobaskip in action! Nice run!
Kevin? :P
Sir, it is called Kevin. Don't insult Kevin by calling it Bobaskip.
@@ambiguousduck2333 pretty sure a streamer called boba accidentaly found the skip so boba skip suits it
Who then requested it be called Kevin
... without the 'Skip' at the end.
Just Kevin
_I'll put honor before tradition any day_ 😏
@@Biaanca5036 and its gonna be called the boba skip since they found it... its very common practice to have skips named after those who found them and a majority of people have already started calling it the bobaskip so... its the bobaskip now oh well
I read about the boba skip in an article today. This is the type of stuff that makes me wonder how many games there are out there that are 20+ years old with secrets left to uncover.
almost all of them lol
It wasn't a secret, it's a glitch. Lots of games still have lots of glitches to find
Imagine out of bounds in Goldeneye 64.
it's not possible because golden eye is the perfect game 光禿禿@@michelmagix
I dunno. I didn’t hear the song there after the Boba Skip, not sure this is a valid attempt. Seriously though, nice run!
Realise this is old - but can you explain what you mean?
Update: I just watched your linked vid and know I know. That is excellent.
I was summoned by news that the Bobaskip had been used already. Congratuwelldone for being the first speedrunner to use it!
Kevin Skip at 8:50 nice one boba!
It's been a while since this got uploaded, but this is one of the best PC runs I've ever seen!
You love to see it! Top work Nick as always man 💚
Saw the news about the Boba skip, and this is great stuff. Not a speedrunner, but I like seeing players play this game with absolute ease after hours of grinding.
So is this new strat now called Kevin as requested by Boba? :P
I think Boba said either 'Kevin' or 'The Boba Skip' is fine. Seems people are coalescing around the Boba Skip.
Boba originally called it Kevin as she thought calling it the Boba Skip was too egotistical. Both her community and MGSR disagreed, we name strats after the people who discovered them all the time, so the Boba Skip has stuck.
@@NickRPGreen Never seen MGS speedrun, how much it's time saved?
@@Gazagua Roughly 2 mins on the PC version. Console runs will save about 2:30 minutes as there are a few loading screens that take longer that get skipped now.
@@NickRPGreen Sorry for my ignorance but does 2 minutes make a lot of difference?
New skip found
Speedrunners: It's free world record
Can you imagine how much the game will change when we find a way to speed up the process of heating and freezing the PAL key?
Great run Nick! o7
The kevin in action~
KIA now stands for 'Kevin In Action'.
Yay Boba! I'm so proud!
IT WAS AN ACCIDENT
This game was my entire childhood! probably beat it 100 times
Same, it was my first real game other than Spyro! Sometimes I wish I was 7 again lol, watching my brother play the second one on his PS2 absolutely blew my 10 year old mind
Best Singleplayer game of all time
More like 6 times but I could see how you get confused
@@FlyingKlutchKick I believe him
Just casually punching the shit outta Liquid at the end there lol. Also Bobaskip pog!
Me be like "okay he got inside and found Darpa chief" and seconds later "Wait a second its not THAT Darpa chief encounter!"
Right 💀
This is such a funny and enjoyable soeedrun in some way
Watching you fight raven was hilarious. I had no idea he could die that way. 8 year old me was sprinting around that arena for 10+ minutes
As someone who is not a speed-runner, or keeps up with speedruns in anyway but likes watching them in action, some of these skips are insane to see for the first time
bobaskip pog
Internet: A new sk-
Speedrunners: DONE!
- Hnnrgh, Colonel. Can you hear me?
- Yes. What is the situation, Snake?
- I'm in a wall.
- What
- I went through collisions. It's a spedrunning trick.
- Snake, what exactly are you doing right now?
- Speedrunning.
- I don't understand-.
- Colonel Metal Gear is destroyed, I saved Meryl and we've escaped Shadow Moses.
- How?
- What?
- How?
- I just told you.
- You were at DARPA chief's cell like a minute ago. What the hell happened since then? Oh god, could it be...
- Spee-.
- YOU CREATED A TIME PARADOX!
This is such an underrated comment 😅
Very nice mate.
I love the "this is sparta" kick at the end of the fight with Liquid
Can you do it again please I blinked and missed it 😂😂 wtf even is this honestly, craziest speed run I've ever seen. The bit at snow path before SW I knew you could go back through the door as a kid but never made nothing from it. Very bizarre glitches here kudos to all involved in finding these out honestly.
Incredible
The funny thing about speedruns like these. Is the amount of time spent discovering each glitch.
"we're in it for speed, not stealth"
Solid Snake, apparently
the one sided beating after 26:40 is hilarious
First time i ever stumbled on a MGS speedrun. i am so confused hahaha
Very Easy is one of the more complicated categories for MGS1. But as a result, it is the fastest.
HAHAHA that final fist fight
Have at you, snake!
*receives completely 1 sided pummeling followed by kick off edge*
Reminds me of that robot chicken sketch with Batman and joker haha
8:51 The moment we waited.
Imagine this from everyone elses perspective... everyone be like snake you gotta destroy metal gear, as he suddenly teleports from one major event to the next and after 30 Minutes hes like ''Yeah, Liquid and everyone else is dead, roll the credits'' - but not even the speedrun could save snake from the terrible backtracking you have to do at the end :D Great run!
The PAL key truly is the holy grail of skips in this run. One day, someone will figure it out, and this run will never be the same.
@@NickRPGreen Doesnt Otacon tell you its cold 'everywhere'? Maybe you can also freeze it outside, but most of the lategame plays indoors anyways... finished it on the Master collection again today and totally forgot how much pointless backtracking the game had.
@@CODA96 It will freeze outside, but that's even further back than the warehouse. The game is perfectly built to add on the most time possible. But it'll get cracked one day.
I had no idea MGS had THIS many glitches in it.
Neither did the MGS speed runners lol. I love how our favorite gremlin accidentally found huge tech playing a game one of her friends loves and she wanted to try out.
only pc
@@ryohazuki007 boba skip works on console, saves about 2 and a half minutes
@@VampsEdits i think the area resets are PC only
@@TyranoTortoise yeah he wasn’t talkin about that tho he was talkin about the boba skip my guy 😂
dawg im pretty sure this game took me like a year or two as a kid and i just sat here n watched you finish it..
Any tips for vent glitch. Each time i is it i can't pickup stinger ammo to fight hind
Congratulations on world record mate 👌
And to think, this is the same amount of time I would spend in the vents deliberately hanging out with the rats.
Amazing
Mind blown. Also, feel a little grubby
10:15 Get down Snake! Perfect. :)
"Snake, we need someone for this extremely dangerous mission who is the pinnacle of stealth, mental fortitude, peak physical abilities...."
"Colonel, I could do this one handed during their 30 minute lunch break. All I need is an access card and my trusty Chaff grenade for companionship.
I even drew it a face like Wilson from Cast away, I bring it everywhere with me"
Nice Shot!
Is it acceptable in these runs to use cheats? Or in Very Easy mode are you given a gun with max ammo? Also how did you skip the Wolf fight? It's unbelievable to me that you're in the blast furnace in 10 minutes.
Edit: I was unaware that the gun with max ammo is given to Snake in Very Easy mode, that was the "cheat" I was referring to.. that isn't actually a cheat at all. Thanks guys.
Depends on the run, but most of the most competitive speed run categories across games involve skips and glitches. This run allows them, and is the first one to use a skip found by someone who was playing the game for the first time ever, and was streaming it.
In-game glitches, such as the new Boba skip, going out of bounds etc, are all completely legal for all categories. The one special one that is only allowed in Very Easy is the Area Reloader bound to F7. This is a dev tool built into the game, but can also be accessed after a number of save files are created.
Very Easy doesn't provide a score screen when you complete the game, so there's no in-game timer that we have to keep accurate, meaning we're allowed to use this tool. In all other difficulties, the Area Reloader is forbidden, as we have to maintain the accuracy on the in-game timer. Further details can be found here: th-cam.com/video/hVoALSu8FXU/w-d-xo.html
The MP5 is a silenced, automatic rifle with infinite ammo that replaces the FAMAS. It is given to Snake at the start of the game on Very Easy only.
@@NickRPGreen Thanks, sorry I wasn't more clear, I was asking about the gun specifically. I've only played MGS on PS1 so didn't know about the MP5 being given to Snake.
@@nickd1978 No worries. Very Easy was only ever included on the Integral version of the game, which was only ever released in Japan for the PS1, but it's also the version of the PC port. So the MP5 isn't overly common knowledge.
I saw Master codec into reload otacon cutscene I think?
Could you explain what you is needed to skip the part when you collect the grenades and then walk through the door.
I can’t seem to get it right
"This is a stealth mission Snake!" Said the colonel
"Lol" said Snake "lmao"
GG
I remember being a kid in the 90s and my older bro had a Playstation with this demo that had this game and I remember playing it over and over and being scared everytime I'd get caught lol
Wow nice job.
Lmao, the pal card is literally more than half the run.
Movies: We have to fight each other with moments of full tension. If I fall i will die!!!
Reality: 27:07
“Security on the dance floor”
This is the most confusing playthrough of MGS ever.
Yes, you see? This is not what we call a playthrough, it's a speedrun. That means that this fella is going to be using everything he can to beat the game as fast as possible. That means glitches, skips and all that stuff. This is a speedrun.
Did u really forget to get rid of Ocelot's time bomb or was that some intended 5D strat that I'm not getting?
Genuinely forgot. I usually dump it the moment rappel ends, and as this was the first run I'd ever done where I didn't have to rappel, I forgot. XD
When I played it on the PlayStation the demo version only, I kill the first two guards on the dock and then wait for the third guard one to come and kill him as well before getting on the elevator!
hell yeah Boba skip!
The BabaSkip Is Canon
With this new skip is it possible that this would work on any of the earlier doors?
We've tested a few, but haven't found another that works. We believe it's because the loading zone for the Comm Tower A door is much closer to the door than others, but we'll continue to test to see if it can be reproduced.
Nice run. That timer at the end was a joke of course, nothing happens when it hits all zeros
If you're talking about the one during the Liquid Boss Fight then yes something does happen when it reaches 0
the bobaskip
How do the skips from 2. Elevator to Torture-Room and direct jump to Cutscene in jail work? I know from the skip at the ladder to get to the torture room but how did you do it while riding the elevator?
Very Easy has an exclusive tool called the 'Area Reloader', a dev tool accessible via cheats and glitches that is only usable in VE as it's the only difficulty timed in RTA. It's a little complicated, but you can find the details in this video here: th-cam.com/video/hVoALSu8FXU/w-d-xo.html
8:56 the bobaskip
Does V. Easy give infinite ammo? I’ve actually never played on Very Easy
Very Easy gives you the MP5 from the beginning. It replaces the FAMAS and has infinite ammo. The major difference with Very Easy is there's no score screen at the end, which other difficulties use to determine your final time. As such, Very Easy is the only run recorded in Real Time and we're allowed to manipulate the game a lot more as we don't need to keep the In Game Time accurate.
@@NickRPGreen awesome thanks! Great run btw, first sub 30 boba skip!
"Wiper Swolf" :D
Why does he have that weapon at the beginning? And other question, I don't remember that gun in the game is that an add from the emulator?
The MP5 is exclusive to Very Easy and Very Easy is exclusive to the Integral version of the game. Integral was only released in Japan for the PS1, but it was released worldwide as the PC port, which is the version I'm running.
KEVINSKIP!
Omg that liquid fight🤣🤣
Weird that the fight with wolf was cut lol am I messing something.
Yeah, the PC version is weird and we can skip triggers with the god mode exploit.
Raven shooting like an Xcom2 soldier
All those codec calls you keep ignoring are Campbell and the others going "what...the...actual...."
Can someone explain to me how you instantly skip the codec scenes? I'm playing on PS1 and can't work it out...
Edit: I know it says on the controller thing (bottom right) just press 'start' but nothing happens for me
I'm on the PC version. You can't skip codecs on the PS1 version, you have to mash through them.
@@NickRPGreen Appreciate the reply man, gonna have to get the PC version and try some speedruns! I got 1 hour 17mins 23secs for a ps1 mashing 'x' speedrun xD Loved this game as a kid, I can safely say it's only got easier to play! No Bobaskip ('Kevin' I believe she named it) yet though
how much time does the boba skip save compared to running the whole time? (just that sequence)
1-2 min
God I love boba.
Can someone explain what's going on when they press F7 and it sorta refreshes the game to somewhere else , and then somehow uses that to glitch through walls and stuff?
Sorry if this is a silly question , am very new to the world of speedrunning
There's some special PC only glitches available in MGS1. Some are used in all PC runs, some are exclusive to Very Easy. I'd explain here, but the MGS1 Speedrunning Wiki would be a better source. Check out the sections on 'PC Speedrun Mechanics and Glitches' and 'PC Very Easy Speedrun Mechanics and Glitches', the latter of which was written by me.

@@NickRPGreen ah cool, great resource, thank you!
I played MGS2 and MGS3 about a million times growing up , was basically a (not very fast) no hacks speedrunner back in the day.
I'm currently playing glitch free playthroughs of MGS Integral, learning each room, each guard routine , JaguarKing has a great video on it.
Gonna try and learn the out of bounds hack next to the ladder before you normally meet the Darpa chef.
Also learned about the Boba Skip today , really looking forward to becomming part of this awesome community , who knows maybe in a few years people will be leaving comments like this on my playthroughs. .
Thanks again , all the best!
She couldn't have found a way to skip that PAL memory shape alloy business instead?
How you get into torture room so fast? :O Where can find info about this glitch? Or tell me please.

@@NickRPGreen Thank you
eeeeey bobaskip
I'm wondering why you haven't uploaded this to the Speedrun site yet. Technically you used all your tools available and got a sub 30 minute run, do the quick load segments create a problem for their submission rules?
This was submitted to the Metal Gear Solid boards on Speedrun.com at the time. It is since obsolete as I have finished the run quicker. My most up to date submission for this category is available here: www.speedrun.com/mgs1/run/zgr8gpjm
@@NickRPGreen Oh...rip. I didn't even see the difficulty selection. Nice job!

8:50 Boba skip
Nice boss fights
Hello, how you make the move to skip the hind ? (Success all the glitches till that one)
th-cam.com/video/rcGCeNjoT2Y/w-d-xo.html
This section of my guide will help, far better than a written explanation here. Just to confirm though, this skip only works on the original PC version, not the master collection version.
Never saw any speedruns of this game so I apologize if this is a dumb question but what does running around the second guard at the beginning do
Not a dumb question at all, it's not obvious without any commentary. Towards the end of the run, I had to find the PAL key in the ditch. The PAL key only spawns in the ditch if you have 11 or more Alerts at that point. If you have less, a rat eats the key instead and you have to find it and kill it, which is slower. Therefore, as we have to wait for the elevator, we "farm" alerts at the very start of the game in order to get to 11.
I was wondering the same thing as it made no sense to me. Than he explains it and it makes perfect sense.
@@NickRPGreen thanks so much for informing me about this! It makes perfect sense now lol.
@@NickRPGreen That is amazing, the amount of thought that goes into speedrunning. Is there a video or stream where you point out these things, step by step?
@@jpirolo3451 I certainly do. This video goes through an Any% Easy run in detail. Somewhat different to Very Easy, but is usually where most people start. th-cam.com/video/rcGCeNjoT2Y/w-d-xo.html
27:10 lol liquid get wrecked
I've never seen that elevator out of bounds before! does that work on console? He was mashing F7, not sure what that does on PC :(
F7 is the area reloader, this is a trick that only works on the original PC version.
That makes sense! Thanks for the reply! SUPER clean run dude@@NickRPGreen
27:10
Standing Here I Realise!
I am amazed watching this, how do speedrunners figure out all the skips and tricks to beat bosses, like standing in a certain area to avoid vulcan ravens machine gun while just throwing grenades at him? Plus all of the out of bounds tricks and skips?
Ha ha.. yeah... standing in an exact spot for Raven... Sadly, that Raven fight isn't quite that impressive - using the PC exclusive God Mode Exploit, Snake is completely invulnerable. Using the same exploit for OOB and stuff is still cool though.
@@NickRPGreen Thank you for replying, I have a question though. You mention a PC exclusive god mode, can that be used in speedrunning?
@@conanmiddleton925 Yes, it's down to an in-game exploit, rather than activating it via the console or anything, so completely legal. The PC version has weapon hotkeys, so you don't need to open the weapon menu. The exploit is activated by interrupting the animation of Snake equipping the PSG1 (which he is invulnerable during), to retain the invulnerability and trick the game into losing Snake's location.
@@NickRPGreen I see, when you said god mode I thought like a cheat code but you explained it well.
I never knew Snake was invulnerable during equipping the PSG1, is it only on PC that has this effect due to the weapon hotkeys and being able to use one for the PSG1? I bet it is very tricky to get, is it frame specific? Sorry for all the questions, I am new to speedrunning but find it interesting.
@@NickRPGreen Also MGS1 is my favourite game, my profile picture is my sniper wolf tattoo, it is the Yoji Shinkawa concept artwork of her kneeling with a wolf on my left arm :)
Your pretty good
Are there any videos where they explain what is happening?
There are indeed. If you check my other uploads you'll find a Very Easy Update, which explains some of the tricks that are exclusive to Very Easy. I also have a couple of more recent runs that were streamed, so I'm on camera talking it through.
BOOBA SKIP
Konami: lets patch
I mean being able to skip all the codec sequences instantly and cutscenes shouldn't count right? Heck the first vent glitch just cut frame to you being inside of it when you was in the elevator..
Skipping codecs and cutscenes instantly is due to it being the PC version, which has almost zero load time.
The cut frame you refer to is using the area Reloader, again a PC exclusive, to do a glitch referred to as an 'elevator reload'. More info in the description about what makes Very Easy PC a unique run.
Came here for the boba skip.
Let's take a minute to thank the person that made this possible.
Boba for President !
How do you skip the codec calls super quick?
Exclusive to the PC version, you can press start or ESC to skip them entirely. This isn't possible in the console version.
Probably silly question but what is your f7 bind?
Not a silly question, without context, it's not clear. F7 is the game's built-in Area Reloader, which reloads the current room whilst maintaining all progress. The most obvious use of this is in the Armory, where I grab the PSG1 and Area Reload back to the lift, but still have the PSG1. As you'll see, there are some very game-breaking uses of it, such as the REX fight. Worth noting, we are only allowed to use the Area Reloader in Very Easy.
Further details about Very Easy can be found here: th-cam.com/video/hVoALSu8FXU/w-d-xo.html
Can u write a full in depth guide on how to do these glitches. I’d love to know?
I kind of already did. This video will at least get you started with the Very Easy exclusive stuff: th-cam.com/video/hVoALSu8FXU/w-d-xo.html
@@NickRPGreen cheers mate I will study this big time and your in depth 4 hour tutorial
5:12 wtf i played MGS for like 10 times and never encountered this scene
This scene only takes place if you mess up using the ketchup. As Very Easy uses the Area Reloader to reset the room and progress quicker than normal, we eat the ketchup instead to get to this scene quicker.
U did it on very eazy thats wet
How the heck do you skip the hind you crouched then ran off the map??
The vent glitch is one of the older tricks in the run, performed by standing up whilst exiting first person whilst in a vent. My tutorial goes into more detail: th-cam.com/video/rcGCeNjoT2Y/w-d-xo.html
