I swear every one of distortions speedruns I’ve watched he spends the whole video going “that was bad” “this is a terrible run” and then it ends up being WR
Yep, happens a lot in WR runs. It just means there's even more room for improvement which is exciting. All the mistakes could lead to another minute down. Sub 56 next, let's go.
When I played the game first I thought I had to defeat every enemy on the way so I spend like 2 days trying to defeat the troll jumping from the bridge that gets supported by the archers lmao😂
I ain't gonna lie I prefer the glitchless speedrun compared to the any% where that whole zipping thing is useable. Not that zipping doesn't require skill (it requires heavy patience and stuff I am aware) but I just like it a lot more when the runners have to play the game as intended to the best of their abilities rather than being able to just "zip" right through the final bosses and stuff. Very cool run !!
yeah that applies to most any% vs glitchless speedruns. Usually glitchless are way more interesting because of raw skill used more than schemed plan of a precise glitch that I would never guess whether it was difficult or not unless the runner says it is
I know this is an old comment but I feel like this could be a new law of physics, that unless a speedrunner is constantly telling the audience how shitty they think their segments are they can never actually beat their old records 🤔🤔🤔
I think you have to be an OCD perfectionist to even get into serious speedrunning, so most of the top tier speedrunners are probably the type of people who refuse to settle for anything less than absolute perfection. Once they've figured out what the best version of what they're trying to do looks like, anything less appears problematic lol. It seems like a big part of successful speedrunning is being able to improvise when you make a slight mistake or get bad RNG.
@@P1Volvo850R any% for pretty much every game is kinda boring in general imo. It’s obviously super impressive how people even find out and optimize the strats, but at some point it just becomes way too boring to watch
@Samael OOT was good for about 6 years until they found the warps, there's a lot of good any% still but a lot of games is just code/rng manip or skips that aren't even fun to watch
Dis2 ain’t playing around when it comes to wanting to be the world record holder 😆 his record was just beat the other day, then he turns around and beats THAT record in record time, truly a legend.
It's crazy that reloading the save is faster than just waiting for the door to open. Also not sure what I expected in an elden ring speedrun, but the amount of time spent not actually fighting anything was not it.
Started playing again after a 6 month break and wonder what the fastest glitchless speedrun was. Of course its Distortion, I'm not even surprised anymore, just happy he got it.
Now that it's a year later I'm watching Dist's first playthrough and it's hilarious in hindsight, and it'll be even more fun to watch him do a crazy optimized speedrun once I'm done.
Ridiculous it’s taken me 3 days to complete the final boss. With level 250 stats blasphemous blade build. This guy goes in with a frog looking character and finishes the game in under an hour. I think it took me an hour to figure out what an incantation was.
Yes he missed the bow purchase but come on our man executed some of the most seamless boss fights back to back at the latter half. Fire Giant, foreskinz and glitter slime are beaten sick af smokin sexy style...
a game i get lost in all the time, im just still on my first playthrough im like how tf do u know this map like that! lmao absolutely incredible stuff bro
Great video. Forgive me if this is a dumb question for I am new to the speedrun. But why do you quit and restart during the game? What purpose does it serve? I genuinely don’t know. Thanks
There’s a couple reasons. First off, opening doors can be slightly faster if you save quit mid animation. Those fractions of a second saved start to add up to many seconds saved by the end of the run. The other reason is to reset the aggregation of enemies so that they don’t attack him while he’s doing jumps and such.
I cannot for the life of me understand what you or anyone in the chat is talking about, y’all really have an entire shorthand language for this extremely niche style of playing this one specific game lmaooo
I’m an avid Elden Ring speedrunner. Not to toot my own horn but my PB is 101 hours, 57 minutes, and 28 seconds. With some optimization I think I can cut it down to around 101 hours, 57 minutes and 27 minutes.

Pretty much every speedrunner ever lmao
Just a quick reminder that I spent 57 minutes on just hair color my first play through.
this is the way
Or 6 days dying to the first knight...🤦🤣

My personal speedrun record was 120 hours. I'm wondering if I could maybe do a 119 hour run if I quit the game when opening doors?
That will make it 121 hours of your time 119 game time
That’s not bad actually bro. Well done. My best time was never.
I never timed myself, but I beat this game 3 times and I think my Steam playtime is around 400 hours lol...
Sorry, but I’m only 4h speedrunner😂 but in ng+3 my time is 1,27h
I managed 8 hours in Ng+ that's my best lol

Yup, me too. I want to see the strategies they use to defeat bosses and areas. Seeing them clipping walls is very uninteresting.
The zip glitch is so strong that there's a new category. Glitchless, restricted (no zips), and any%
"This run is bad, I need to warm up"
Gets WR.
wrgg
Each time I watch these speedruns it always starts with "This run is a disaster" and ends in "Hey I got the new WR".
All that means is that there's still a little room for the record to be broken.
I figured it was an anti-choke strategy. You try to trick yourself into thinking the run sucks when your run is actually amazing so far.

glitchless speedrun almost the same time as your first WR, the way people improve speedruns strats is truly amazing
With all the 'mistakes' on this run, he can easily save another minute.
HEHE YE

Over a year later and I’m still tuning into your world records. Absolutely love it and keep it up bro. 🔥

Lmao fr I was just thinking I kno I seen a title stating a new glitchless wr and then next few days distortions name comes up
Absolute legend of DS Running. DS runs are some of the most vital to the popularity of Speedrunning, so appreciate all you've done for the community!
Whenever Dist says its a "warmup run" you know hes about to set a new WR
Nothing warms you up like a fresh wr
*Absolutely melts Margit in seconds*
"Thou art of passing skill"
Just beat Margit after 20hours of game time. Seeing him do it in like 10 seconds feels so weird lol
21:09 I love it when chat predicts the future
he really is the best speed runner in the game
like life? yeah probs
1st try back from break! Well deserved Dist!
Damn, I finished a playthrough yesterday too - 139 Hrs 😅
I cant imagine the time and effort spent to perfect runs like that. Well done bro!
what an amazing run! congrats bro, ur truly insane

It's not faster, he only does it because it stops the timer

This warm up run was certified nasty
constantly beating your own world record - you are the king of souls speed runs ma boi
This is awesome it's nice to see you make such a refined run.
Well done, man! Cool speedrun!
Gongratz great run other the bow shenigans :D First try new skip like it was nothing
No fucking way I lost this live
I swear every wr ever starts off with them saying "this run is bad, I should reset"
I didn’t even doubt that Dist would make sub 57, maximum respect for diligence and grind!
man i watched this guy so much during the village days. Can not wait for re4 remake
Perfect timing for RE4 Remake
what a WR Machine

24:50 for like the first actual combat interaction. I know reset on these runs must be real sleeper sometimes huh lol
Havent beat him yet but watching your strats have given me ways of having a chance against radahn for my lvl 1 run
He hates rotten breath dragon skill
Forefathers one and all... BEAR WITNESS! What a run! Congrats
Man I have just beaten the Draconic Tree Sentinel after around 60 tries and wanted to see how this guy passed it,
WHAT THE FUCK!!!!
Poison mist him for ez
I feel like I see a new world record every week 😂
I would hate for my WR run to be me complaining about blinds and being a gate keeper to those in my own chat.
Seeing Maliketh demolished so easily makes me feel very inept
42:22 - 42:57 Local speedrunner has a stroke trying to explain himself while riding through the Forbidden Lands (I love him tho)

Crazy run bro, good job :D

I hear that Donkey Kong Country 2 music, fuck yes.
Today I learned you can parry the damn tree sentinels. Yet more reason to try and get good at parry timing.
Happy to see this guy is putting his huge amount of pent up anger into speed running Elden ring and shouting at twitch chat.
“These blinds are flapping so hard bro” I think that’s just the sound of you clapping this games cheeks.
How did you use the golden vow at 26:59 I was trying to use your method and I got stuck here I was shocked when I couldn’t use the ash of war 😂
He 2-handed the halberd to get the strength requirement for it.
My first playthrough took about 90hrs this makes me wanna cry
I love how he’s saying that hes doing awful and it’s just a warm up at the beginning 😭
Hahahahaha, did you see that? That was Barbaro. Only 1 hp, he was able to defeat the boss in the area. Alluring ❤❤❤
Excellent speedrun. Congratulations

Fascinating how fast you get in areas i visit first time after 30hrs 😂
jeeze im at 97 hours and standing at the Elden Beast. I can't imagine how much effort it'd take to get that good at this game.
Congrats!
Fuckin crazy how you are still breakin records
This in my mind is a real speedrun… no glitch bullshit
can't wait to watch the summoning salt video about this
dayum good work man

Absolute Chad. GG
Who else doesn't run for 2 days, scuffs this run into the ground within 15 min and then sets a WR!?!?!
Glitchless speedruns make me think of old school games and how you could beat them in 2 hours but they were hard/gimmicky so it’d take a week minimum

Its part of the game design son
#1 thing any speedrunner say before a wr is " this runs bad but we finish it anyways"
