I'm pretty sure when going over the Harmless changes you say that Minos' Judgment doesn't hurt you if you pay it because it's explosion doesn't have a hitbox, and I do think this is true nowadays. But in the footage they're clearly taking damage - I believe this might be something that was changed with a patch.
Correct, it typically doesn't, but to my knowledge that only occurs when Minos is still over 1/2 health. Parrying no longer cancels the explosion if Minos has used the "WEAK!" voice line once he's below half health (as he was at 18:43, which is what I believe you're referring to)
Only the ULTRAKILL community would have a legitimate controversy and find a way to call it fucking SAWCON. Amazing video though man, was super in depth, you explained stuff in a way that helped my peanut brain understand, and you were just interesting and nice to listen to!
Dont worry, its not even the stupidest name for tech. A new dumb name was literally made today for a strategy, but the best one will always be scihzo-boosting. (If you shoot a shotgun you gain a tiny bit of momentum in the direction you shoot, when I mean tiny I mean tiny. It takes over 2 hours to get across 0-4 using only schizo-boosts.)
Alright, "Saw Con" got me. Awesome video, this is so much more in-depth than I expected it would be! Makes me want to practice deadcoins more so I can work on my own speedruns...
@@Mate_Antal_Zoltan P-1 was released April 2021 on Homestuck Day, a little under seven and a half months from the game's EA launch on September 3, 2020, the first public version with the Alternate Revolver (I don't think anyone's delved into the post-demo pre-EA builds to figure out when precisely it was added yet but someone might someday).
....watching people kill Minos before he can even take a step is a very painful thing to watch after looking at the days of grinding it took me to just regularly kill him for the first time. excited to see the P-2 version of this video in a few years XD
8:10 this runner also does a 'coinadd'. Due to the hit lag you can actually throw an extra coin after the first two and get in another reflect even though you didn't throw a third coin.
Ever since act 2 dropped I changed my strat for tackling p-1 (I’m not a speedrunner btw). First off the rocket launcher makes nuking more consistent for FP, especially freezeframe. Second, I put a magnet onto Pinos after my saw and overheat nail trap to attract rockets to the boss, go airborne INTENTIONALLY to get Pinos to use an uppercut, and then shoot my rockets at him since they do the boosted explosion when he is in the air.
It's like FCing Through the Fire and Flames on Guitar Hero 3. Before you do it, at the best you are considered a good player, consistent, well rounded, not bad by any means. P-rank Flesh Prison and Minos Prime? Welcome to the hall of kings, enjoy your throne.
I've never even heard of ULTRAKILL but this video was so exciting to me. Super interesting and well made. I'm not even sure I want to play the game, even though it looks so awesome, it was just a wild, cool ride. Thanks DarkNova :)
i cant express how much i love this love and effort filled video, its def amazing; mostly because of how new viewer or unexperienced player-friendly it is
I am third of the first people in the world to beat minos prime blindfolded and i really enjoyed watching this video and relating to it. I hope you can find success in your youtube career!
when i saw this video in my recommended i wasn't expecting much from it, yet i got a very engaging and well made video so big props to you for managing to make this video as long and engaging as it was. And 50:08 was smoother than it had any right to be
I can’t stress this enough. But the reason ultrakill is the BEST SINGLEPLAYER FPS (I’m not exaggerating) is because the bosses teaches you skills you will need for future bosses, and to heal, you need to ACTUALLY PLAY THE GAME
i havent played ultrakill yet, ive only ever been interested in its speedrunning, but this video singlehandedly more than convinced me to buy and play this game myself. it seems so badass. thank you
Even though I lost interest ULTRAKILL speedrunning or even ULTRAKILL in general a long time ago, but I still like observing what have they done and achieved because I still fucking love this game
I imagine this is how the exchange with queckquack went down; "Your run is invalid because you used a bug that's no longer accessible, try doing it without your crutch strat." "Ok." "Wait wha-"
imagine being the soul kept alive purely by willpower, the soul belonging to the former king of the second layer of hell, judge of hell and being killed by a walking camera launching a few sawblades
i don't know why but this absolute banger of a video got recommended to me and made me buy ultrakill 5 star service i guess... also, nice video and excellent narration dude i loved it
The moral of the story? If the creature of steel you are about to pass judgement (the verdict is death) on is placing hundreds of saws in an orbit path directly under your feet, maybe move out of the way instead of monologuing.
Never played the game (but have my eyes on it cause I'm a big Quake/Doom fan), but watched the entire video. You did a great job putting everything together
Legendary video. Got this game 2 weeks ago, and have sunk in 50 hours into it. I love seeing the community experiment, and find new ways to break the game.
Having to translate FP's white attacks to "Light of Allah" in my mind every time because I survived max0r's Ultrakill vids before i even touched the game. Cool vid made even funner by spamming "Light of Allah in my head"
I did some minos speedrunning a while back never got anywhere and was pretty sloppy but loved watching this fight become the "hardest" to it being beating in under 1minute and 15 seconds
Who would win. A legendary fighter capable of going face to face against some of the angels which are one of the most powerful creatures in the Ultrakill universe. Or a duck
Yes, that was the shortest 50 minutes in a looooooong time! Very well made video! You absolutely nailed the structure and pacing, and you get to document speed running history to boot!
wow it's really cool to see a video about one of the leaderboards I run on! (as much as I'm definitely not good enough yet to warrant being featured in the video haha) such a cool video man, keep it up
This whole video is like: shows footage of a duck killing god under 2 seconds then swaps to the most godawful ultrakill gameplay topped by good commentary explaining the tech and shit
imagine being practically a god and killing multiple people in secret just to be murdered in under 5 seconds by some dipshit with a nailgun. I love games with these weird circumstances
"Now the grappling hook may not seem like a big change" Bro. The meat hook is the best thing to ever happen to doom. I could see immediately how having a grappling hook would change combat forever
37:51 the number 17 will haunt me for a while, as I’ve been working on unlocking P-1 as a new-ish player and I missed the score requirement for both 20k volts and sheer heart attack by 17 points
I never had an issue with this level, it took me 30 tries to beat the first time around but then just a few replays later I got the P-rank easy. Now P-2 is much worse. Much, MUCH worse. We never saw it coming.
Minos Prime is a god-tier being. The one that is far far above V2 who is supposed to be an improvement over V1. (the player) Reaching and defeating Minos Prime is an incredible feat let alone P-Ranking it. And yet we have the ones who went ahead and utterly humiliated Minos Prime by beating him in seconds and P-Ranking this stage in the end! If this was a comic book or a TV show, this would be considered bad writing. But this is a video game where our protagonist is being controlled by gods (the player) so anything we see here is truly astonishing!
Game: have ridiculously hard boss that deal bs dmg and have holy defense and hp The community: so, we will be abusing highest dmg as possible and switching weapons so fast that a sniper became a machine gun
Because of this video being recommended, I currently have 22 hours on ULTRAKILL. Without this video, I would've been playing VALORANT for days. This video made me recognize this amazing game. and this video basically gave me knowledgecabout the game.
man i really need to start playing ultra kill, ive had it in my steam library for a year with only 1 hour in it basically getting past the prelude, this really makes me want to play it more now
This is great. I'm not saying this since I'm featured.

I'll say it again. The speedrunners weren't lying. P-ranking all of Act 1 isn't a challenge. Its a warning.
oh hey i like this guys videos too 😮😮😮
True I just P ranked act1 and killed fp and minos
