Hey Skurry fans, Team Smith from Will Cherry here! Some useful information YOU might not know about this run is that it is absolutely 100% legitimate as confirmed by our team's astrophysicist
There is an issue with this... which is now it is legitimately possible to get too lucky and be deemed a cheater without question. It is unfortunate things had to become this way. Before anyone says "That is too unlikely to happen." Mathematically the Earth shouldn't exist due to how specific everything needs to be to form life on a habitable planet this way. While odds might show the raw chance of a given event it ultimately can't determine with a fact if someone did or did not cheat. Dream ruined a lot for everyone.
Skurry actually contacted team cherry to prove that they didnt cheat the speedrun, also its just a bug game so it doesnt even matter if they cheated. I also suddenly feel like donating my life savings to skurry, and arguing with people in the comment section saying that skurry cheated
It really shows the attention to detail Team Cherry paid when making Hollow Knight -- it wouldn't make sense for Infected Balloons or Siblings to drop Essence, since the former are pure infection and the latter are pure Void, none of them being able to dream.
@@pluto3194 They got organic shells (well, as much as offspring of two higher being is 'organic'), and we know though they possess Soul, so they should also have Essence.
2:56 this is from a Celeste speedrun when someone called phoenix4k cheated and had a bird named Archie in the corner to stop the loading icon from popping up.
No that mod title was too obvious. You need to call it something completely unrelated like "Lag Reducer for Recording" that just HAPPENS to contain unbelievable luck patched in.
I can't believe Skurry was getting accused of dream luck before they even got the dream nail. Rank blasphemy. Those people shall forever be labelled as cringers.
Actually, the chance of being this lucky is 50%, since in two attempts, they once got this amount of luck. So this is really legit and you have to believe me because i am an anonymous astrophysicist, which is unmistakably the best source there is.
I am the astrophysicist definitely not a 13 year old with a calculator the chances of that happening is 0.00000184162 1/543000 Which is lower than the chance of being struck by lightning
@@Slugcat317 I'm not sure how you would have gotten that number, since the actual value is much much much much lower. Assuming we have 1800 trials, each trial is a success, and there is a success probability of 1/300 (no dream wielder) then it is a probability of roughly 1.520*10^-4459 By the binomial distrib: (1800 choose 1800)*((1/300)^1800)*((1-1/300)^(1800-1800)) (which is actually just equivalent to (1/300)^1800) plug that into wolfram alpha and you get my result
2:55 For anyone curious of the story of Archie: A Celeste speedrunner who was top ten but not near the world record uploaded a run of them getting the world record. However, many things were off about the run. For one, the game’s sound was gone, replace with the song Ram Ranch. The video was titled Celeste 2 berries%, which is not a category, but the any% run picks up 2 berries on its route. And most importantly, there was a parrot named Archie covering the bottom left corner, with text that said “RIP Archie.” Archie was there to cover up auto save icons that indicated an area had been entered before in that save. To nobody’s surprise, the run was fake. I doubt the runner wanted to get the time verified, but rather wanted certain rules regarding verification requirements to be changed (he was pushing for rule changes before the run was submitted, and why would he make he run so obviously abnormal unless to spark an investigation?)

What mod? They would never cheat, youre so rude for accusing Skurry of something like this. Skurry is completely innocent, they're just a really good player
9:10 it's actually pretty easy to calculate the odds: one essence drop is a 1/300 chance, so just take that to the power of how much essence you have and there you go. Here you had about 20 essence, so it'd be about 1 in 35,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 chance of all 20 dropping in a row. For all 1800 essence, just imagine that but instead of 48 zeros it's over 4000
@@kevinmarghitoiu5271 Do you not get the impression that OP may not have picked up on that line based on their phrasing? Obviously the entire video was a dream luck joke but it was still a compilation of several memes.
I guess it is a bit of both, I don't remember any part of the dream saga where they talked about it being too difficult to calculate the odds so that part came off as less jokey I also just like doing math, lol.
I honestly would love for this to become a widely used category for all kinds of games. Just setting chances to 100% or 0% and routing the game with that in mind, really taking advantage of the entire thing. That could create some insane runs that would never even be thought about being viable normally, because the amount of luck would either make them stupidly long or stupidly grindy to get a good run, that even has a chance of a record.

Of course Skurry didn't cheat, they are way too good of a player. They have no reason to, with their skill level. Think ahead. If they wanted a good time, they would have just played for it!
"someone just sent me a picture... Of their fursona, pointing a gun at me and saying 'show us what's in the fridge Wayne' you want the truth? _gets up and walks towards the fridge, grabbing it by the sides and turning it around, showing it's cardboard cut-outness_ There is no fridge. _Camera zooms in on face_ I lied."
As far as how unlikely this is. Figuring that each essence drop is a 1/300 chance and roughly estimating that you needed like 600 of them to complete the TE (I couldn't be bothered to look up how many you needed exactly but I estimated high since you skipped Zote and a few trees). The probability of getting 600 straight essence drops is about 5.3 * 10^1487. 10^1487 is such a large number I can't find a word for it anywhere. But combining a bunch of large number words together, I can frankenstein together an awkward mess of a pronounceable number. So anyway, the chances of this happening are about 5 in *100 decillion novemtrigintillion novemtrigintillion centillion centillion centillion centillion*. A centillion is a 1 with 303 zeros, a novemtrigintillion is a 1 with 120 zeros, and a decillion is a 1 with 33 zeros.

can't wait for you to come out in about 9 months that you actually just had a superior gaming keyboard and totally didn't cheat (love your vids skurry you're singlehandedly the person that got me into hollow knight lore)
What, you imply that Skurry had mods on! THEY DIDNT AND THEY ARE JUST GOOD AND HAVE A NEW GAMING CHAIR AND BESIDES ITS JUST A BUG GAME IT DOESNT MATTER AGAHHXDUHDJXHDCNDUHCNEFJHNRJHCNCRUFHNCFD
forget you have a mod that you commissioned to be made on that does the exact thing you end up accused of, accidentally delete the evidence and accidentally vilify the people who called you out, then accidentally hire an astrophysicist to try and prove them wrong, who ends up agreeing with them after some deliberation, then wait 6 months and recall all of it in the bathtub at 4am
They just forgot the mod was turned on because of the little upside down skurry hiding it in the cornor and didn't realize anything was wrong with the game, it happans to the best :P
@@bienghuo9636 My bad, they stack exponentially. Wayward compass makes all your luck modifiers from gaming chairs, lucky underwears, four-or-more-leaf-clovers, etc. stack multiplicatively, not additively like normal. That's why it's so good. Thanks for reminding me.
9:21 Hi! I'm your friendly neighbourhood astrophysicist. Just calling to let you know that the odds at that current time would be one in two quindecillion ninety-seven quattuordecillion one hundred fifty-two tredecillion. See! Totally legit right!
All jokes aside, the actual probability of this run happening is 1/300 ^ 1800 (or whatever the number of essence is required). That is so out of proportions it feels impossible, despite the fact that it is very possible.
I lowkey want this to be an actual category, low% is an interesting speedrun, and the mod removes 40h of grind to make it playable, also allowing for improvements, I. e. leaving birds before getting 1800 ang killing the exact number of mobs needed on the way, etc
Run is spliced at 20:53! Look at the essence count jump from 963 to over 1750. I can't believe Skurry would post a spliced run. They've pushed their luck too far. Nothing gets by my eagle eyes!
you know that this is a fake run, and that this is ALSO highlights from a twitch stream, right? it jumps at that point bcs he just grinded a lot a cut it out for the youtube video.
@@imnotasalad69 yes, I am aware of both of those obvious facts. I was hoping they were so obvious, in fact, that my comment wouldn't be read as serious haha.
I think that this is actually a pretty neat concept. Having a perfect luck section for certain low percents or super grindy speedruna that some people just dont have the time to accomplish but still want to tryand compete some in while under the restrictions of something like low percent where you are significantly deprived of things like movement and badges, forcing you to come up with all new strategies and ideas. I just thinks its a fun little concept :)
I'm sorry (9:10) Of the first 500 essence skurry got 100 just with the nail (and 400 from lost kin), at a chance 0f 0.5%. From the remaining 1300 they got 39 from a whispering root, and then another 1271 with dream wielder (1% chance). The always got an essence, so that puts the chance of getting skurry luck at: 7.9 * 10^-3773 That mind-bogglingly low. Dream "just" got 5.0*10^-22. Dream could have gotten his luck 120 times in a row and it would still be way more likely what skurry just did. To illustrate how unlikely dreams odds were, matt parker introduced the "human second century". But that's way too small for this. Imagine if every particle in the observable universe (10^80) tried a low% true ending run for every nanosecond from the beginning up to the heat death of the universe (~10^120)... It wouldn't put a dent in those odds. The chance of one run succeeding is still *less than 10^-3500*. Ok, lets get more extreme. Imagine every particle in the observable universe had another universe with just as many particles inside of it. Time in those mini universes runs much faster, so that an entire birth-to-heat-death cycle only takes 1 nanosecond of our time. Now every particle inside those universes does a low% te run for every nanosecond of their time. Even if we went *18* layers deep (i.e. every universe has 10^80 universes which each have 10^80 universes... 18 times) the chance of just *one* run having skurry luck would still be less than *10^-170!* This is not just the single most unlikely event to ever occur to a human, it's the single most unlikely event to ever happen to *anything anywhere for the lifetime of the universe!* And by a *gigantic* margin! Edit: Improved explanation of nested universe. Also next comment refers to previous iteration of this comment, so some numbers have changed but the point still stands.
Another illustration: Take my previous comment, and remove the last paragraph. Including formatting, there are 1422 characters left. Every character is 8 bits (just simple utf-8), so if I just just take some completely random data (with the right length), the chance of getting the _exact_ text I just wrote is just 3.0 * 10^-3425! So that is about 10^300 times more likely to happen (still an unimaginably low probability, something that will literally *never* happen to any human), than the run we just watched.

Which totally happened "accidentially"

Actually a good comment lol good job u made me chuckle
If they had their lucky SOCKS on, then I bet they'd have gotten 2 essence per kill
To be honest, i would genuinely run this category if it were added to the Modded Leaderboard haha
“You could call them Archie” is such an underrated joke
what is the joke, the only Archie I remember is of some really old comic
@@doomclasher9287 might be referring to a fake speedrun from celeste, the speed runner put a picture of a parrot over the save icon with the text “long line Archie” next to it
-collects *_dream_* nail
-instantly gets extreme luck
hmm
Of course Skurry didn't cheat, they are way too good of a player. They have no reason to, with their skill level. Think ahead. If they wanted a good time, they would have just played for it!
skurry uses they/them!
@@cyberstevie oh, thank you!
@@cewla3348 threatening menace, you are. big social hierarchy, you will reach
After they admitted cheating, all that their fans said was 'it's just a buggy game'
they use they/them pronouns, have a nice day
@@jammies6134 sorry, I forgot about it but I fixed it now!
@@jammies6134 btw, where did this info come from?
@@Pihsrosnec Type "!pronouns" in the chat and a bot says "Skurry's pronouns are they/them".
Skurry was so lucky it was like watching a TAS. They’re just on another level.
imagine if scurry changed the Uumuu split to Uuwuu for an entire run and nobody noticed
It already happened,but just as you suggested, nobody noticed
The end fo the speedrun was like
"There is no fridge, I LIED!!!!!!!"
"someone just sent me a picture... Of their fursona, pointing a gun at me and saying 'show us what's in the fridge Wayne' you want the truth? _gets up and walks towards the fridge, grabbing it by the sides and turning it around, showing it's cardboard cut-outness_ There is no fridge. _Camera zooms in on face_ I lied."
@@GrimmShane **dramatic music intensifies**
As far as how unlikely this is. Figuring that each essence drop is a 1/300 chance and roughly estimating that you needed like 600 of them to complete the TE (I couldn't be bothered to look up how many you needed exactly but I estimated high since you skipped Zote and a few trees).
The probability of getting 600 straight essence drops is about 5.3 * 10^1487.
10^1487 is such a large number I can't find a word for it anywhere. But combining a bunch of large number words together, I can frankenstein together an awkward mess of a pronounceable number.
So anyway, the chances of this happening are about 5 in *100 decillion novemtrigintillion novemtrigintillion centillion centillion centillion centillion*.
A centillion is a 1 with 303 zeros, a novemtrigintillion is a 1 with 120 zeros, and a decillion is a 1 with 33 zeros.
Nah, it was just the lucky underwear
so only a bit more than 52! KEKW
Hey skurry, remember, Will Smith from team cherry said they will release silksong if you do low% godhome ending
since you have to beat every dream boss for the pantheons that might actually take way less time lol
@@tectonical5347 it does, but it also requires beating abs rad with less nail damage than nail binding and only one more mask than health binding, with no charms aside from grimmchild and dream wielder iirc
12:34 Skurry is so lucky that they gain essence by simply existing
they got it from the suicidal dark crawler thingy u can watch jarlyk's video on suprise geo dodging and it just walks into the spikes
They're not cheating y'all, they just have 8 stacks of 57-leaf-clovers
Skurry uses they/them pronouns!
@@FoxyKitti Ah, thanks for letting me know!
@@Moonstruck_Arrow No problem! ^^
When I saw this I knew I had to do the math, to get a base 99.99% chance for essence drops, they would need 1,837 (rounded up) 57 leaf clovers
Because of how re-watchable skurry's content is, one of my favourite things to do in multiple watches is focus on the chat, so I'm just gonna list my favourite chat messages:
0:25 - ElsiraTV: "skurry your facecam is upside down"
0:57 - sirlemonthefirst: "Okay everyone pretend it's legit TH-cam won't know"
1:34 onwards - buttsbot just repeating what other people say but replacing it with the word "butt"
2:17 - tortellini219: "SKURRY SHOW US YOUR TAX RETURNS"
3:11 - s00ky_: "archie is disappointed in you skurry"
4:53 - duckwiththumbs: "PayYourTaxes%"

8:30 - not_enough_frogs: "can't wait for the fireborn video on this"
9:38 - grenowl: "mod? the only mods are in chat"
9:59 - the like 10 people in succession that do a :O emote after someone accusing scurry of cheating

I love that all the montage songs in both of these TE Low% run videos are from VVVVVV; immaculate taste
can't wait for you to come out in about 9 months that you actually just had a superior gaming keyboard and totally didn't cheat
(love your vids skurry you're singlehandedly the person that got me into hollow knight lore)
Not yet
You know this would make a good speedrun category. You could call it Dream%
19:55 This is actually unbelievebly well made, especially with the Rosalina backstory music.
Dream luck be like:
**forgetting you have very OP mods on**
edit: wow that's a lot of likes for an early comment, y'all kids are cool
“iT’s nOT MoDs it’S PlugInS!”

What, you imply that Skurry had mods on! THEY DIDNT AND THEY ARE JUST GOOD AND HAVE A NEW GAMING CHAIR AND BESIDES ITS JUST A BUG GAME IT DOESNT MATTER AGAHHXDUHDJXHDCNDUHCNEFJHNRJHCNCRUFHNCFD
forget you have a mod that you commissioned to be made on that does the exact thing you end up accused of, accidentally delete the evidence and accidentally vilify the people who called you out, then accidentally hire an astrophysicist to try and prove them wrong, who ends up agreeing with them after some deliberation, then wait 6 months and recall all of it in the bathtub at 4am

“That’s right, we’re gonna cheat!”
Nice one
I love the AVGN references
I like how even a world class speed runner knows that primal asphids aren't worth killing even if you know your lucky enough to get essence from them
More like primal asspiss
They just forgot the mod was turned on because of the little upside down skurry hiding it in the cornor and didn't realize anything was wrong with the game, it happans to the best :P
guys relax, he just had wayward compass on. That's why the RNG was in his favor.
Skurry uses they/ them.
wayward compass is a pERcENt-
They just have a good gameing chair
@@bienghuo9636 My bad, they stack exponentially. Wayward compass makes all your luck modifiers from gaming chairs, lucky underwears, four-or-more-leaf-clovers, etc. stack multiplicatively, not additively like normal. That's why it's so good. Thanks for reminding me.
@Jason Brose its not that hard to fix just change the he to they
9:21 Hi! I'm your friendly neighbourhood astrophysicist. Just calling to let you know that the odds at that current time would be one in two quindecillion ninety-seven quattuordecillion one hundred fifty-two tredecillion. See! Totally legit right!

Thanks for clarifying this for me
Did you actually calculate it, or just make this number up?
@@accuratejaney8140 The chances are (1/200)^21, so it is 1/2.097152*10^48
@@accuratejaney8140 21 essence, essence is 1 in 200, 200 to the 21. Calculation all the way.
All jokes aside, the actual probability of this run happening is 1/300 ^ 1800 (or whatever the number of essence is required). That is so out of proportions it feels impossible, despite the fact that it is very possible.
even a TI-84 just says zero lol
@@rowanthehunter Probably because there would be 6200 0s. That's so miniscule even nasa cuts off their numbers at the 15th decimal point.
So is it better then 1/ 7.5nonillon
Actually, since 400 essence is from Lost Kin, it's 'only' 1/300^1400.
"Will Quirrel's death give you essence?"
Only one way to find out I suppose
Nah cuz quirrel is alive
I love the new easter egg Skurry! I hope you bring it back, especially in that non-specific spot!
The fairy tale had me DYING oh my god XD
Good thing it was completely fictional and not based on true events
i laughed way too hard at "don't make me hire an astrophysicist"
Memes aside, this is actually a pretty cool exercise I think, just to see what *could,* hypothetically although not realistically, be achieved.
IDEA: THIS LUCK BUT USE IT ON FLUKE LARVA IN THE ROYAL WATERWAYS.
So much essence...
You can't get there in a low% TE run
desolate dive / soul master are percent(s) so you cant get down there in a low % runs
@@soupman9596 yeah but what if Skurry got lucky tho?
@@ky-aj-m this is a fair assumption... I suppose with a little bit of luck it is possible
@@soupman9596 i think they could do it, they are a very good player and would never cheat
We need top left Skurry for every stream now
I lowkey want this to be an actual category, low% is an interesting speedrun, and the mod removes 40h of grind to make it playable, also allowing for improvements, I. e. leaving birds before getting 1800 ang killing the exact number of mobs needed on the way, etc
I love how chat thought your "luck" jokes were just banter until you suddenly started getting all the essence lmao.
this run really hilights how even with this insane luck, the random essence drops give you suchhh a negligable amount
The subtle Tod Togers and Billy Mitchell calls complete the package
20:51 I don’t know why, but the phrase “really fictional” had me laughing way harder than it should have
"Don't defeat False Knight."
*CAN'T* defeat False Kinght ( (:
I’m naming my Minecraft Looting III sword “Skurry’s Dream Nail”
was i there for the actual stream? yes. am i going to watch this version now? absolutely
5:08 Skurry: this is like an RPG character where u only upgrade the LUCK stat.
Me: *Dark Souls Speedrunner references intensifies*
Run is spliced at 20:53! Look at the essence count jump from 963 to over 1750. I can't believe Skurry would post a spliced run. They've pushed their luck too far. Nothing gets by my eagle eyes!
you know that this is a fake run, and that this is ALSO highlights from a twitch stream, right? it jumps at that point bcs he just grinded a lot a cut it out for the youtube video.
@@imnotasalad69 yes, I am aware of both of those obvious facts. I was hoping they were so obvious, in fact, that my comment wouldn't be read as serious haha.
5:36 "Nothing suspicious has happened yet"
Ladies and gentlemen, we got them
1:02, I'm honored
That reveal at the end really got me, was not expecting that
They didn't eat pizza so the run is suspicious.
lol I remember that guy
Skurry: *Gets essence from every enemy*
Everyone:I sleep
Skurry: *Gets essence from every essence orb*
Everyone:Real shit
ok but can we actually talk about how cute skurrys mascot/oc/idk is?, he's absolutely adorable
Both Skurry and their sona use they/ them.
"If you wanna call Skurry in the corbner "Archie" that's fine"
I got that reference and accidentally spit my drink out
Imagine watching this stream live. A 20 minute buildup to a punchline that lasts an hour and a half.
ANYONE WHO CLAIMS SKURRY💓 CHEATED IS JUST A HATER🤬😤☠🔪 Y'ALL NEED TO STOP CLOUT CHASING AND GET OVER IT😤🤬😤
ITS JUST A 2D GAME
Just saying that this 2D game is a masterpiece not just oh yea other than that your right
skurry just has an insane gaming chair
Me at the start of the video: "Aww, that dragon's cute!"
Me at 24:00 "Oh..."
holy poo its t4co tv !
10:57
Yo look at the splits they killed wk so fast
I love how "dream luck" is just a term tossed around in speedrunning nowadays
The slugcat plushie and skurry in the corner just blessed your run with good luck. I see nothing wrong.
Exactly. Its unbelieveable that people suggest the use of a plugin
I think that this is actually a pretty neat concept. Having a perfect luck section for certain low percents or super grindy speedruna that some people just dont have the time to accomplish but still want to tryand compete some in while under the restrictions of something like low percent where you are significantly deprived of things like movement and badges, forcing you to come up with all new strategies and ideas. I just thinks its a fun little concept :)
As a professional storyteller, that story was A+, very imaginative and not at all like real life
I'm sorry (9:10)
Of the first 500 essence skurry got 100 just with the nail (and 400 from lost kin), at a chance 0f 0.5%.
From the remaining 1300 they got 39 from a whispering root, and then another 1271 with dream wielder (1% chance).
The always got an essence, so that puts the chance of getting skurry luck at:
7.9 * 10^-3773
That mind-bogglingly low. Dream "just" got 5.0*10^-22. Dream could have gotten his luck 120 times in a row and it would still be way more likely what skurry just did.
To illustrate how unlikely dreams odds were, matt parker introduced the "human second century". But that's way too small for this.
Imagine if every particle in the observable universe (10^80) tried a low% true ending run for every nanosecond from the beginning up to the heat death of the universe (~10^120)...
It wouldn't put a dent in those odds. The chance of one run succeeding is still *less than 10^-3500*.
Ok, lets get more extreme. Imagine every particle in the observable universe had another universe with just as many particles inside of it. Time in those mini universes runs much faster, so that an entire birth-to-heat-death cycle only takes 1 nanosecond of our time. Now every particle inside those universes does a low% te run for every nanosecond of their time. Even if we went *18* layers deep (i.e. every universe has 10^80 universes which each have 10^80 universes... 18 times) the chance of just *one* run having skurry luck would still be less than *10^-170!*
This is not just the single most unlikely event to ever occur to a human, it's the single most unlikely event to ever happen to *anything anywhere for the lifetime of the universe!* And by a *gigantic* margin!
Edit: Improved explanation of nested universe. Also next comment refers to previous iteration of this comment, so some numbers have changed but the point still stands.
Another illustration: Take my previous comment, and remove the last paragraph. Including formatting, there are 1422 characters left.
Every character is 8 bits (just simple utf-8), so if I just just take some completely random data (with the right length), the chance of getting the _exact_ text I just wrote is just 3.0 * 10^-3425! So that is about 10^300 times more likely to happen (still an unimaginably low probability, something that will literally *never* happen to any human), than the run we just watched.
