Watching a recap of my Peggle endeavors in the past ~5 years and reliving those WR moments was quite moving, thanks Poetry. Also I'd like to thank the whole Peggle community, I've gotten to know a lot of awesome people obsessing together on this silly game. It's been a pleasure.
Also for anyone that's curious, I'd like to speak about why I haven't come back to Any% runs. It's something that Poetry didn't mention in the video, but all runners know it: pixel shots are very tedious to learn. At the height of my reign, there were maybe 5-10 pixels I had to know to stay at the top. Now there's over 100 I believe. While it's amazing to look at how optimized the game is now, I just don't find it as fun to run at a high level anymore. So in short, laziness. But thanks to not grinding runs every night, I've also had a lot of time to make Peggle Fevers, so that's nice!
@@pnaha Fevers mentioned! And yeah, pixels are a huge grind to not only learn but practice enough to remember on the fly most levels. Good choice for your sanity, pnaha the OG not pix-cel
@@pnaha Thats reasonable; I havent followed peggle speedruns yet I feel like you have bin the flame that kept the speedrun for that game alive; And you stopping to play 14 month sounded so relatable hah; I cannot imagine the height of finally achieving a WR just to few minutes later being crushed by the realization that on the same day someone else broke it. Stay awesome man
I remember a while back you showed up in chat of my buddy's stream while he was working on his last few full clears and gave some tips. It's a delight to be able to follow the full story here
Using the Summoning salt "Theme music" kinda bugs me way more than it probably should.... like it's one thing to copy the homework, it's another to commit armed robbery in broad daylight...
@@FacialVomitTurtleFights I obviously take a lot of inspiration from Summoning Salt, and I certainly don't mind taking criticism and feedback towards my videos, but I have to call you out on this. In this video, I use 26 songs. 6 of those are from artists that Summoning Salt also uses in his videos. I also *specifically go out of my way* to make sure that I do not use the most iconic Summoning Salt song, which is HOME: We're Finally Landing, since that one is so tied to Summoning Salt's brand and identity. I use a few other HOME songs, but not that one. If you think that having 20% of my music overlap with Summoning Salt's counts as "committing armed robbery," then I think you're just looking for a reason to complain. Beyond that, while of course this video style is heavily inspired by Summoning Salt, I also think that I bring my own video-editing style to the table, and I'm proud of the work I did here.
So I just started watching, and was a bit confused by the opening being outer wilds. So I hovered over the progress bar and got jump scared by my own name. Fucking terrifying. Great video though!
And it was a full on shoutout. Thank you, but I don't deserve it, I only strated for a couple months before I fell off. others like SatanHerself and Brassbeat definitely deserve much more credit than I ever will. They both did more and for much longer.
Awesome video Poetry! I appreciated the shoutout in the strats hunting section--I did a lot of work on tap strats back in the day. Even though I'm more of a nights gal myself I love deluxe any% and think it's a great show of Peggle skill. You definitely did the record grind justice and I can't wait to be here for even more peggle runs to come. Also, slight correction around 35:55--we actually don't think enter strats fire on the first available frame necessarily since me and a couple runners theorized enter strats for levels with moving pegs a while back and it doesn't seem to be consistent sadly. But it's still a really early frame so enter strats save time! I would also mention the SGDQ 2023 run as a big influx time for new runners (check that run out if you haven't, it's amazing!). As always, excellent addition to the peggle lore.
Yeah, I realized after posting the video that I should've mentioned the GDQ run! Apparently even though I talked to Jnano about his record, I didn't think to ask him how he got into the scene, and apparently it was from that run!
@@PoetryStud Yeah I remember that! I think it may have brought polypies in and some other top runners/influential community members too. Maybe I'll have to make my own video to mention it (or you'll just have to make more Peggle content... would not complain!)
I've been playing this game since 2009 and never would expect speedrunning to be a part of it. Thank you for taking the time to make this documentary style video, I really enjoyed it ❤ That Trackmania quote is really amazing and ended the video off in a great fashion too!
Thank you for the kind words! I do have a couple other videos like this one, and a few other Peggle-related edits in general that I'm pretty proud of :)
I didnt even know Peggle had such a dedicated Speedrun community. Great video, its only a matter of time until the views come flooding in, if you keep up that great work! :) (you also have a great voice for this format)
I wasn't aware of this community at all, this is awesome. I recently spent a weekend trying to decompile peggle deluxe with the aim of building a TAS tool. Unfortunately it looked like much more effort than I expected. Maybe this will be the motivation needed to try again.
As far as I know, a few people have worked on TAS tools, but I have yet to see a fully completed run of the game with TAS! Well, unless you count the 11 hour run that my poorly coded Python bot did 😄
Very soon after doug started running Claude runs, I started strating entirely because doug's runs would often die on 11-2. So I found a way to get consistent slides on most of the slants (by finding (inconsistent) edge shots and making a terrible notation system). But what I find crazy is that those, multiple year old, shots are now back but with actually good pixel-shot setups. I had thought that strat was dead because everyone just used fireballs.
dude i thought this would have a couple hundred thousand views, i was so shocked to see it has less than 10k. this vid is awesome with great info and editing. keep it up bro
Im surprised this has such low views, as corny as that is a thing to say. The editing and commentary is very interesting and fluid, and this is overall very very well put together!! I love me a banger video to put on while i draw. Kickass vid dude !! Keep making !!
YES! Finally someone who understands what makes Summoning Salt's videos amazing. Not the information about speedrunning. Not the secret tech. But rather the narrative
that 6 months u spent to make this shows! People like you are the only ones who can make great speedrun videos for their respective game. Someone immersed in rhe community and have been for years. someone who has good editing, good story telling, the patience to make a long detailed video, someone who speedruns themselves, some one who puts quality first, ect.. you were the only one who could have made a peggle video this great and i think that something to be proud of.
Thank you so much for the kind words! Although realistically it was like 1 or 2 months of work spread out over 6 months, I was just too scatterbrained to do it all at once 😅
This is really really well made. Your style of commentary is really relaxed and enjoyable to listen to and obviously you’re a subject matter expert. I played peggle when it first came out but happily sat through the entire video as it was so good. I hope the algo pops off for you.
I've never played or heard of peggle before, but this video is amazingly made and deserves more recognition. Also, as someone who plays trackmania, when you began introducing the quote I jokinging said the karjen quote aloud, and was really shocked when you repeated it lol.
It's a great quote that pretty much applies to any speedrunning/speedgame, and I was reminded of when doing the script for the video :) I'm a casual trackmania player myself, but I always love sharing quotes from other speedrunning scenes, especially when they get to the core of speedrunning like that quote does!
It's been 8 years since we played that MP game of CK2 where your son was the Antichrist. I'm sure at the time, none of us had any idea of what Peggle was, but I was truly sucked into this world through your streams during the pandemic.
There's a saying I heard third hand from a Mike Tyson's punch out speedrunner (Pap), "sometimes if you go slower, you can go faster." if you're wondering, it's said in the video where he tries the low score TAS
It's a great game to play at both a casual level and a speedrunning level :) If you do get into the speedrunning side of things, there is a peggle discord where a lot of us runners congregate, and you can find a link on the speedrun.com page for Peggle!
I'm not kidding. When you were explain the heat maps, I thought that, you would need to figure out some peg per second ratio or something to compare the different strategies, and sorta assumed that's what everyone else would have been doing to get the speeds they had and my mind was flipping blown when you said someone new came in and did just that.
Yeah, for the most part people just tried some of the more promising lines to see which ones they liked! The problem is that the heatmaps originally only looked at number of pegs hit, without accounting for how long it took, so some of the lines that the simulation pointed to wouldn't necessarily be the fastest/most efficient, and of course there's also something to be said for some shots being easier to line up than others. But yeah, now we're starting to see more stat-driven approaches to comparing strats! It's neat stuff.
Amazing video! Subbed instantly. I was rooting for you to get the record somehow, but even making top 10 is an insane accomplishment, well done! Btw, you have an incredible voice, very soothing to listen to and perfect for narration.
Thanks! I actually peaked very briefly at 3rd (for like 2 days lol), but I've never been anywhere close to having the skill needed to get the record :P Glad you enjoyed the video!
I love peggle so mf much i just got my ps4 working and have been replaying peggle 2. Ive been waiting for a vid about peggle speedruns since idk much, THANK YOU!!
@@PoetryStud I wish peggle 3 would even exist, but alas, EA will just make the same sports games over and over again every year and add 500 dlc to Sims 4 instead 😔😔 Ive actually only ever played peggle 2 bc it came with plants v zombies , ill have to check out the original :D + Peggle 2 is so much fun i love it dearly
*be me: knows literally nothing about peggle, never even heard about it* youtube: here's a 50 minute video about peggle speedrunning history also me: sign me the fuck up right now
Fun fact; there is a free stand-alone Peggle WoW spin-off game, and it also has several cool categories to speedrun! I have actually ran that one quite a bit myself :)
Haha in the end I didn't want to make it too confusing, since I'm American, but alot of the Pegglers are not, so I decided to go with something neutral :P
That's definitely one of those things that I'm sure lots of people figured out even all the way back in 2007, so us speedrunners certainly weren't the first haha
nice vid, might consider running Peggle Adventure mode again, in fact, I'm gonna do it rn, hopefully it ends up as a better time at least edit: gotta appreciate that DougDoug got involved in it
I’m really surprised none of the top players use the helix strat where the ball sits in the middle of the helix and gets all the pegs. Opting to go for the fireball strat instead. My guess is fireball is faster?
Yep, it's just faster to use the fireball for the most part! But for other runs, such as EGM (100%) speedruns, where you need to complete the 750k challenge, that is a key strat, as well as in many of the Individual Master runs, where you can only use one master.
It's funny seeing Dowolf's name here, I remember his great work on Ace Attorney fan translations. I had no idea he was one of the first Peggle speedrunners!
That's awesome! Even though he hasn't run recently, several of us current Peggle speedrunners met him at SGDQ 2023, and that was really fun. At that point I hadn't even thought about making these sorts of videos, otherwise I would've interviewed him about it or something haha
Since you mentioned Trackmania, I feel like I have to point out that it has a genre of maps that's very similar to Peggle in way. Kacky! Just like Peggle, kacky maps are somehwat luck-based but still deterministic. And the Trackmania community has developed something very similar to tap-shots, they call it "low input strategies". Basically it involves doing only a minimal number of inputs in the run in order to maximize the chance to perfectly reproduce a known-good path.

Since you mentioned Trackmania, I feel like I have to point out that it has a genre of maps that's very similar to Peggle in way. Kacky!

Basically it involves doing only a minimal number of inputs in the run in order to maximize the chance to perfectly reproduce a known-good path.

PEGGLE IS SUCH A GREAT GAME I LOVE PEGGING!!!
That trackmania quote has to come from Wirtual
Well, I found it from Wirtual cause he used it in a video, but it's originally from Karjen, one of the legends of TMNF! :)
I have like 700+ hours in this game and I didn’t know people speedran it but I already do some of these strats lol might give speedrunning a shot
Hell yeah!
very nice video
