Finally got around to watching this as well after watching your MediEvil video. Great coverage. Gonna add some more sidelore because why not :D The race at 26:38 was my first ever race on SpeedRunsLive, and was delayed by around an hour because I was a dumb 15 year old who didn't know how to set up ePSXe, and also had very little practice on swim into Ripto. Yes, i genuinely had people guide me through the trick before the race so that I could actually finish when we started lol Saboom and Touval's rivalry is also legendary as far as head to heads go in speedrunning. Witnessing them trade blows back in the day was mesmerizing, both averaging several hundreds of viewers and reaching the top of the SRL front page. I remember when Puppet found waterfall proxy too and how much that threw a wrench in everything. Also shoutouts to Lapogne for pioneering god damn every playstation game known to man Great video man, keen to see more
I just watched the first 8 vids of your series and now this and when I heard Lapognes name again I thought the same thing 😂 Also great series from you, very excited for the last vid
I haven't gotten the chance to start watching yet, but I'm leaving a like preemptively because I know how hard you've worked over the last few months on this and how much you focused on communicating with everyone in the Spyro community to ensure that your video would be as accurate and detailed as possible. Good job!
I've watched a lot of speedrunning documentaries and this is probably one of the best I've seen. The narration and the script are spot on, and the story you were outlining really kept it interesting throughout the entire video. I had never heard of this game before and didn't know any of the mechanics, but I came away feeling like I knew the game in detail. Really loved it, would be cool to see more!
I had no clue that I would make an appearance at 1:24:17, at 57th place that is lol. Very good video; didn’t know much about the history of this category so I had no clue how many discoveries it took before we got to the route we use today. Thank you for making this; ended up watching this video all the way through!
what a banger video. Came here after watching the current WR, so during this vid I kept thinking "when does Bluntbows come in?" Can't believe someone just came in in 2021 and worked up that level of play so fast, insane
Pretty late but just got around to watching this. Awesome job capturing the progression of the game. Had a big smile on my face during the later bits of the video.
Summoning Salt does not own the concept of explaining the progression of World Records, you don't need to ask his permission my dude, just be your own man.
@Papamanual people like you are the reason I've recently started following speed running didn't know of any of the bigger youtuber till I read comments on channels like yours keep up the work love videos like this
Wow, this video was an absolute treat! Spyro speed running is incredibly fascinating and you’ve done an unbelievably good job explaining and documenting not only the history of the category, but all the little nuances that make up the any% route we have today. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this documentary! You have some serious talent. I hope you continue to make videos like these!
So glad this popped up on my feed. Always love finding these videos going in-depth on speedruns for games I love. They're so fascinating and well researched. Great work.
My god. The effort involved. I used to make videos, so believe me when I say this I'm insanely impressed the everything that went into this. God tier content. I'd advise you stick to this form of content on popular and interesting games that have speed runs. You will blow up. Thank you for your effort.
This was a fantastic video, s2 is my favourite game of all time and I've had such an interest in the speed running community behind it and I feel this did all of that justice so I just want to say thank you for putting together this masterpiece! Keep it up
Just finished watching this. What a masterpiece. Thank you for all your efforts you put into this, learnt a lot about the speedrunning history of Spyro 2.
I see Salt's videos have rubbed off on you a bit, and holy shit is that a good thing, this is a damn impressive video for a damn impressive run. Really hope that your channel can pop off thanks to this video, well done.
My uncle used to speedrun Mario, I think the 2nd one with warps. Ever since I’ve been interested in beating games fast. I’ve never truly speedran a game but watching videos like this reminds me what I love so much about speed running; the progression. Ty for telling this story. It's funny watching a game you used to play as a kid casually be completely broken
Nothing makes me more nostalgic than seeing my favorite game from my childhood! Great video it's always awesome to see people still appreciate this game even after all these years!
I have super fond memories of playing Spyro 2 and 3 on my PS1 back in the day. Lots of hours of fun. The strats and the times are insane, hats off to all the runners for their skill and dedication. Thank you for a very informative and entertaining video!
Lapogne is such a speedrunning icon He's responsible for some of the most incredible skips in dozens of games. I wish more people knew about his exploits
This video is INCREDIBLE. I absolutely LOVE Spyro and I'm willing to do a video myself. I'll refer to yours in the future for sure. This was amazing, thank you so much. So much information and so well written.
Great video. I didn't realise Saboom was one of the greats. You wouldn't pick it hearing him talk, he's super humble and never big-notes himself, rather spends a lot of time talking others up.
I do wonder why they don't remove load times in categories like this (or at least standardise them to 1 value, even if the run itself may have a faster or slower load). Even if the gameplay has some lag even outside of load times, surely removing load times would level the playing field more generally and not make it so brutal for certain systems. Since I've seen games that remove load times, but others that do not Very cool vid btw, I saw the Punch-Out challenge video and then watched this one after and despite being 2 hours long it was a good watch and didn't feel like a 2 hour long video
This was an excellent video, and a great way to spend an afternoon. Full of context and nostalgia for those of us who played it when it came out, and enough back story to where I could draw a logical step from what I knew playing the game, to what was being done on screen.
my dude that was an awesome watch. i literally thought around halfway through, before the gulp skip part that i can't get any lower only to find out i was only halfway through the vid xD i can't imagine the amount of work and time this cost. huge thumbs up, keep up the amazing work, dude =)
This video taught me so much history that I didn't even know about S2 any%. Gives me a new appreciation for my favorite category. :) (I totally forgot to send my comment when this video came out lol!)
Theres a few nostalgic ps1 games which i could make a video about, I started making another, but the community were not that interested in helping me research and the 1st runner i was talking to didnt respond to me after I tried to message him a couple of times. Its annoying, but ive made 8 minutes of that video... Ill complete it eventually whether people want to help me or not.
Talk about a journey, honestly, I can't imagine the feeling of excitement, and even more so, relief, they had once Waterfall Proxy was deemed outdated.
A masterpiece. Thank you for this, I enjoyed the whole movie at fullest. A question: How some people find some proxies such as waterfall, I can imagine it would take insanely a lot of research time to find it.
Glad you enjoyed it! I think a lot of just messing around with double jump and going out of bounds, seeing what things they could get caught on. Lots of it is incremental knowledge about the game, and once you have a little bit of knowledge, you see what it can apply to. Rather than, one big discovery, its the culmination of lots of smaller discoveries.
I noticed a cycle in speedrunning. as optimisation increases, people start investing more effort into finding new strats and skips, which decreases optimization requirements for a great time. Then with time optimisation increases again, putting more pressure to find non-obvious timesaves.
now i have a great question do any of the speed run tricks work in the remasterd trilodgy that released a cupple years ago? im guessing maybe not sense it was i think a ground up remake rather than just an up res. i do know iv been playing the collection and enjoying it quiet a bit. also these guys are very impressive
Ive not played the remaster trilogy and know very little about it. I do know that there are some other glitches that completely break that game like walking in air or something.
That is a really great question :p Most of the tricks and strats used in the original games don't work for Reignited. Like you said, Reignited is a remake from the ground up, so things like physics, collision, hitboxes etc don't work in the same way. Reignited has some strats of its own, but a lot of those tricks are stuff like glitching out of bounds or the Walk In Air glitch.
@@Kintsugi23 interesting it gives a reason to watch speed runs for both if both have different tricks and strategies it’s kinda neat to think of it that way where neither is obsalete and both still haveing a reason to exist and be enjoyed. I got into watching speedruns about a year ago and ever sense I just have love watching these guys do what they do live and in general it’s just so cool!
Was there an interest in speed running the remakes? I tried playing the remakes but they really pissed me off as they looked completely different and because of how they were revamped. The games didn’t look like how they did before unlike the Medievil remake. That game actually still looks like the original but with modern graphics. The Spyro games look like a different game all together and were really confusing and super bright. Lots of the levels are very difficult to get around due to the brightness lol Idk if anyone else had that experience with the Spyro remakes. I was not impressed at all and I love Spyro. Was honestly frustrating
No idea if it’s this game or some other version of the game.. but my daughter (Lumilaura) broke a record for this recently, 37:19..something like that. It may not be this game, but I’m old so easily confused? 😄
Congratulations on your daughters achievement! I dont follow the spyro scene to a large degree, but I believe Lumilaura got the world record in the prequel to this game "Spyro The Dragon" You can watch her run here - th-cam.com/video/dpt3_vRwWVQ/w-d-xo.html
Ive only ever done a speedrun of one game. The first Outlast, but it was mainly for the trophy for Insane mode. It was hella fun, and im trying to decide on another game to grind
i used to do this but never had a run get past the winter tundra waterfall proxy into ripto... when i saw a short bit of gulp skip in your intro i want to try again
waterfall proxy sucks bc its very precise and if you miss.... well the setup is long too, so you lose once you miss once... reset it was still fun doing runs until the dragon shores early fot fireballs :)
Same situation with frogs. On 2004-2005, killed one on autumn plains, and got pushed on the air for like 5 meters, i didnt know how to repeat that movement again😁cuz i had pirate version of spyro 1,2,3. Always though its because of this. On Spyro 2,as long I approached to hunter in summer forest, my screen freezed, and i had to reset my Ps1 again all the time
43:08 do my ears deceive me or was this part of the background OST for Terminator 3: The Redemption? else that, or Atari pinched some public domain music 😅
Wow, bloody Atari. While I have your attention, let me give congrats and thanks to a fellow Aussie for helping even out the old algorithm with some proper quality content
I've watched through this a few times so far and my biggest question is, can't you simply skip the bosses by finding the hub portals under the maps? If the hub portals are right next to the boss holes, I don't see why they can't be accessed just like Dragon Shores. I'm not a speed runner but since this game came out I knew about double jump and Sproder and a few things like that just on my own, not to the extremes the runners do, but I've learned a bit and would think the portal thing would hold true.
I actually asked this question when i was first learning the 14 talisman category a few years ago... Turns out the portals to skip to other worlds arent hidden below the map, they just flat out dont exist until the boss is beaten.
Funny thing, on 2004 on age of 9,i discovered, some how, that i can do double jump(accidentlly) and start to search New ways to escape levels. Same with water fall proxy in winter tundra, swimair in that year. On autumn plains, i always been asking my uncle to Beat Gulp. One time i got stuck next to the wall, only once on 2008,idk how, i was pushed away and saw the entrance of gulps level😂😂i was curious, is it even possible to glide there and skip all rest levels on autumn plains. But didnt succes until this day😂.
@@Papamanual That is insane. Thanks for putting so much work and effort into it. I don't know if you will do videos like this but if you do i can't wait to see them ^^ have a nice day
I played through the original Spyro games when I was a kid and beat them all pretty extensively and this stuff blows my mind. I was always wondered if there were some glitches or out of bounds stuff but I was not really able to figure that stuff out but now I know there are a ton! I don’t remember if I liked 2 or not but I know I never liked 3. Is there a speed run for 3 cause that game is so convoluted and annoying 😂
Have I ever tried speed running in Sypro? No. Have I tried speed running any game? No. Am I going to watch a 2 hour video on it? Yes. Yes I am.
Same here haha Very fun video
I mean, have you seen the popularity of the olympics? you don't need to do it to get the work it takes.
Finally got around to watching this as well after watching your MediEvil video. Great coverage. Gonna add some more sidelore because why not :D

Sorry what? never heard of Spyro!?!? oh god its happening I'm getting old.
Just an update here! Spora has reclaimed the lead with a 7:29 run!
He did miss a text skip, but otherwise it was super clean.
crazy

idk why it took me so long to get around to watching this, really great video captivating start to finish and thoroughly well researched
Watched the entire video, very nice can't remember last time I watched something for more than 10 minutes, thank you
Glad you enjoyed!
Pretty late but just got around to watching this. Awesome job capturing the progression of the game. Had a big smile on my face during the later bits of the video.
no joke probably one of the best youtube videos ive ever watched, fuckin awesome shit dude
Thankyou! It means a lot!
Summoning Salt does not own the concept of explaining the progression of World Records, you don't need to ask his permission my dude, just be your own man.
For some backstory, I actually asked salt to make this video first, but he told he wasnt interested and suggested I make it instead.

Nothing makes me more nostalgic than seeing my favorite game from my childhood! Great video it's always awesome to see people still appreciate this game even after all these years!
i'm watching this a second time because it's so well put together. definetly deserves more views!
Y’know i was thinking about if someone made a video on spyro 2 speedrunning history yesterday, and now I know that someone has!
thank you TH-cam algorithm for recommending this masterpiece 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Legitimately excellent video, I watched the whole thing in 1 sitting and it felt like only half an hour had passed when it wrapped up. Good job mate
Thanks mate! Appreciate it
I must say I am agreeably surprised at how good those videos are, keep up the good work

I have searched for this exact video several times in the last year and TH-cam has never given it to me! So frustrating

I think a lot of just messing around with double jump and going out of bounds, seeing what things they could get caught on.

Rather than, one big discovery, its the culmination of lots of smaller discoveries.

Holy 2 hours? Guess I know what I’m doing tonight…
just finished it, amazing all the way through!
This is really well done man, you deserve more subs, looking forward to more good stuff :)
Great video been waiting for someone to do a in depth video like this
Would love a video like this for the spyro games, Ape Escapes too!
I noticed a cycle in speedrunning.
as optimisation increases, people start investing more effort into finding new strats and skips, which decreases optimization requirements for a great time. Then with time optimisation increases again, putting more pressure to find non-obvious timesaves.
It's such a beatiful cycle. It's what speed running is all about.
I blame Elora for making me almost be a furry
I dont have the energy right now to replay it and this will do just fine to satiate
My god, this should have 100x times more views
I love/hate that you use how its made theme on the timeline. Damn that brought back memories

do you have any plans to do a video on s1
Unfortunately I dont at this point
And then Spora came back for another clutch haha
How long did it take you to create this video and and how long was your script? Insane video. Loved it
Thankyou! Took me about 4.5-5 months but I could have done it faster if my work ethic was better. And it was 18,923 words
@@Papamanual That is insane. Thanks for putting so much work and effort into it. I don't know if you will do videos like this but if you do i can't wait to see them ^^ have a nice day
@@Ingenii80 Thanks for the feedback. I am working on another video now, but it isnt a world record progression (still video game essay thing though)
This is well made.
I played through the original Spyro games when I was a kid and beat them all pretty extensively and this stuff blows my mind. I was always wondered if there were some glitches or out of bounds stuff but I was not really able to figure that stuff out but now I know there are a ton! I don’t remember if I liked 2 or not but I know I never liked 3. Is there a speed run for 3 cause that game is so convoluted and annoying 😂
There are speedruns of 3... I think the fastest category (any%) completes the game in like 25-30 mins.
