This was easily my favorite video you've ever made man. The selection in games you chose to talk about was really nice and it felt like there was something for everyone. It was really cool to learn about some of the games I didn't know about, Like Outlast and Tools of Destruction. Just a phenomenal job! Thanks for putting me and Kara in the video briefly too :3 To answer your final words at the end, I think its difficult to come up with a "best speedrunner" without at least creating some kind of categories. When I think of the best speedrunner at a single game my mind first goes to Perfect Ace in GoldenEye & Perfect Dark. It is one of the games that has been run the most throughout time, and Ace has always been a step above the competition for nearly 15 years now. His records are some of the greatest ever set, and barely anyone can stand up to him when he decides to grind a certain stage. For speedrunners who excel at multiple games I think coolkid is a very good contender. He was extremely skilled at Quake and Half-Life back in his early career and has now moved onto disintegrate essentially every NES game he touches. I have a lot more names to mention in both categories if you ever wanna chat about it in DMs but those two names stick out to me. If you do decide to tackle such a video, I think covering multiple runners gives credit to the larger speedrunning community as a whole, kinda like how you did with this video! In any case I was hooked for the full duration of this, great work man and keep it up ❤
A friend mentioned that my stream footage was used in this video for Frontiers 16:03 don't worry I'm not mad or nothing if anything I'm happy my suffering in pinball was used for something productive. I've been a big fan of yours for years now so if anything I'm honored :)
I make sure my team and I credit every source we use in our videos. I've been the victim of people stealing my content w/o credit in the past, so I don't ever wanna do that to someone else. Thank you for understanding, and if you ever have any comments/questions/concerns in the future about this sort of thing, you can always hit me up on discord: xemmypoo I'm so sorry you had to suffer through pinball like this 😂
Yo I fucks with the vibe of this. For people to follow, I would recommend Klooger or Whose for modern-FPS titles. Klooger is almost entirely COD based, and is likely someone you have seen if you have ever been recommended a COD training run WR. Whose library spans across more franchises, and has been the person to route or optimise most of the Battlefield and MOH franchise. For a curveball, a good friend of mine WestRoadZ has just had the 4 year anniversary of his marathon Platinum% run of Gran Turismo Sport. A 9 and a half day endurance test that is sadly no longer replicable due to the server closure at the start of the year. That record is still the fastest completion on psnprofiles by just under a week RTA.
Hey Xem92 it seems my comment disappeared so im reposting. To answer your question you posed, you are, in my opinion the greatest speedrunner. The reason is that: 1) You are incredible at setting your mind to something and reaching that goal. 2) You are the greatest Rac runner of all time as you keep setting the standard for Rac runs in so nany different categories. 3) Yoy take soeedrunning and make it so immersive and incredible to watch. Thanks for everything you do and incredible video as always.
Ayy Dayoman got in! Dude's reactions are the best. Got to say, this is probably one of your best edited videos thus far. Wonderful work, Xem. A great video to see after my birthday. The Tools of Destruction segment was a surprise to me since I didn't know you could even skip that section. Also shoutout to Karl Jobst, I hope in his victory against Billy and for further speedrunning feats. I hope you've been well man.
It's interesting just how prevalent the "Back in my days" or "uphill both ways" mentality can be, in regards to the Borderlands 2 example with a vocal part of the playerbase being against the solution.
Without wanting to sound too cheesy, I think you would be a good contender for the best speedrunner of all time. You absolutely dominated the OG RaC Trilogy for YEARS. If we were to add up all the different record you held/hold the result could legally make an Onlyfans account, maybe even its children could. Anyways, great video, as always! I didn't know Outlast had such an active speedrunning community. Great game selection!
seeing ToD made me happy: I am teaching myself to speedrun it (it's the first video game I played, beat, and 100%) And my biggest problem was how terrible ASS was. I'm actually quite decent at a lot of the skips, but ASS just wasn't one of them. And then I learned about GASS. I went from willingly doing the autoscrolls because I didn't want to suffer through ASS, to being a bit more willing to attempt skipping the damn autoscrollers
Fantastic video, definitely your best get. Shorter (10ish min?) speed running videos on a varied games or tricks would work really well, especially with your current style.
Banger video! Greatest speedrunner of all time? Now that's a tough one... the immediate first thought that comes to mind is whoever it was that took every single IL record in Mario Kart 64, then whoever it was that was fighting for the record in Super Mario Bros., but then again I don't closely follow those scenes so I'm not super familiar with them. So for the scenes I do follow, I'm thinking about some of the people who run multiple games and are masters at them so my mind goes to either Dayoman or OutrageousJosh, but I feel like I haven't actually watched Dayo run Spyro 2, so the only person I can think of is OutrageousJosh. Like he is a fantastic runner at all of the Jak games, which is impressive because Jak 1 is a very different genre from Jak 2 and 3 which is yet another different genre from Jak X and I'm pretty sure he's held world records in literally all of those games, some of them in multiple categories at the same time so I've honestly gotta give it up for him.
Great content again Xem, everything about your recent videos improves each time from editing to scripts to narration and beyond. Keep it up! Also bless the Spyro 1 WR pop offs, no one else goes harder than them
The greatest speedrunner is hard to say, because it's hard to categorize. You could go with someone who has had the longest domination in a game or category, someone that's run many games, a face of the community, someone that brought many people into speedrunning, etc. I keep going back and forth between like 25 people.
I know he's been talked about by summoningsalt, but i personally think Arcus should be talked about more. Its a meme answer because burrito speedruns but its a serious answer because ninja gaiden speedruns. Love the content xem❤
Great video! I actually learnt a fair amount here - there's this notion that speedrunning, from a glance, is just old nintendo games and mario 64 and stuff, but actually learning about quake and even some out there picks like outlast and borderlands was really insightful! fantastic as ever~ also, you're not bald! insert melon emote :D
About your end question, I personally don't really have a singular answer but it'd be interesting if you created distinct categories of speedrunner and who's the best in each one, kinda like the speedrunning OSCARs. so youd have like, the longest current wr holder, most wrs, most concurrent wrs at one time, most amount of different games with a wr, best glitch hunter. Just some ideas for it, you could easily like make updated videos on it too as things change or you get new info. Yes, this is a bit of an expansion of the scope you asked for but I don't really think theres any videos that'd be like this on youtube.
great video Xem, some of the games covered in here are among my absolute favorites so it almost felt tailor made for me to watch! i don't really have an answer for best Speedrunner of all time, but i like Hypnoshark! well, and you as well, Xem. so y'all have my vote!
Great video Xem! Also, in response to your question, I think that a lot of the 2D Mario speedrunners like MitchFlowerPower and A lot of the SM64 runners like cheese. Maybe even shift for his insane dominance in BfBB (and you know you touched on him in the ruined speedruns video, but still.) That’s my awnser to your question!
@@Xem92 imagine how hard it would be when you'd have to look a cashier in the idea scanning your singular can of cheap cola with 5 kg of cheese stuffed in your pockets
Last month Dayoman just got sub 37! He just recently started back again doing 120% Also tbh I think sinister / zallard1 for their blindfolded punch out influences really put speed running on the map. Thank you Xem, love the new content
In answer to your outro question I’m pretty sure the best runner of all time is either dream or this one guy called xem92, not sure if you’ve heard of him
well i realy hate to break it to you its the subscribe button that useualy glows but vor your effort i just click both. About the people mentioned that told you to do more research if they did actualy point importen things out you missed you should have mentioned it and if they just were gaslighting/trolling you maybe shouldnt mention them at all. peace

"however, just like in real life, you're not supposed to die during pinball" i laughed WAY too hard at this LMAO (18:20)

Was not expecting a sequel so soon, what a trip.
Instant classic

Amazing video bro! I love the inclusion of newer games since the classics sometimes get old yk
This is a really interesting and well-researched video! Thanks for making it!
Yoo 60min video nice, love that edit style! *Greatest speedrunner of all time: I really like your speedruns but DarkViperAU is my second place*

Enjoyed this one, I certainly learned a good deal with this.
this video was insanely ambitious

To make the Pinball of Frontiers even worse, SOMETIMES the red ring will actually spawn in the gutter path itself.
That's diabolical
Goated video, found it cool to learn about speedruns id probably never even think about looking up!

Very nice video! Keep it up Xem!
Last month Dayoman just got sub 37! He just recently started back again doing 120%
Also tbh I think sinister / zallard1 for their blindfolded punch out influences really put speed running on the map.
Thank you Xem, love the new content
Zeromaster, doom speedrunner comes to mind
Definitely the best doom player right now, broken through many challenge barriers for the game.
great vid, as for your question at the end: saboom or jeremy thompson gets my vote for most legendary runner
Xem got the fresh cut and the freshest fits
As for a suggestion, maybe bubzia getting blinfolded super mario64 16 stars blindfolded below 20 mins a few days ago.
Bubzia's such a goat
Love seeing xem shoutout other speed games. 💙
