I know these things are often very precise frame perfect things that need ideal timing or setup, but its always really funny to me when a new breakthrough in speedrunning happens and its "They pushed up on the c stick" or "they used a known phase-through-walls glitch to phase through a wall" (Golden Eye) after 10 years of people not thinking to do that.
I remeber them talking about this in prey. where they were all confused how a runner was clipping through the wall. and the main reason is he was playing on ultra high graphics while everyone else was doing potato graphics (my guess is lag). parrently wall collision is dissapears between low and medium quality
I think the situation is in part related the classic exploration-exploitation dilemma. You only have so much effort/resources you can devote to your pursuits, and so you have to find a good balance between looking for more promising rewards (glitch hunting) or collecting the rewards you've already found (trying to get a world record run). If everyone just had the goal of lowering the game's overall time as low as possible, we'd see much more time spent exploring for more optimal glitches/routes. But because speedrunning is largely driven by glory, we see much more energy put into performing the best at the currently known route. Another side of it is that much of the time, the people able to do the runs aren't the same people finding new glitches. They're separate skill-sets, though obviously there are some people who can do both. I would also imagine just based on the barrier to entry, that runners are much more numerous than bug hunters.
@@skyemegakitty another reason I think is notable is I notice in everything. people don't normally think of the simplest way to do things first. most people will do the "it cant be that obvious" run around before implementing the obvious and the obvious obviously beats the current thing. i'm not saying its never the opposite sometimes its just everybody looks over the simple stuff because "it cant be that simple" a lot and it leads to situations where you wonder how it took so long when the solution was in front of everybody's faces all along.
I think the c stick one was that no one had ever seen it do anything normally. Then one guy happened to see it do something and everyone lost their minds seeing new possibilities. A lot of the walk through wall ones are usually terrain being super fucky in OOB areas. I remember in.... I forget the game... One of them... I discovered that when oob you had to basically walk on textures of walls and one step either side either made you fall to your death or fall inbounds. I think it was borderlands 2 in hindsight. You can't just wander where you want it's super anal. In other games the concern are certain flag zones for enemy/boss/item spawns that try and FORCE you to go the normal route
@@chucklesdeclown8819 rereading and this is also definitely a factor. This also holds true for life too, it's why the IT "turn it off and on again" is step 1. Instinctively it can't be that simple. Yet often it ends up being actually that simple. So when you take this human nature out of an easily replicable and experienced situation (tech not working) and plonk them into a game where they barely understand how something as simple as movement works, they lose their mental checklist of stupid obvious things to check and need to make a new one basically. And well.. sometimes things like moving the C stick are never remembered to be put back on that list... Cos it can't be that simple.
i didnt understand a word he was saying but was still doing the poggers face the whole time, i love it when documenters like summoningsalt and lunaticJ get so enthusiastic. the speedrunning community seems so wholesome, lol! ive only played LM3 and cant wait for LM2 to be remastered for switch.
Former runner of this game here. Just finished watching this and the previous video. 1) Its crazy to think of how much has happened to this game since i shelved my copy 6 years ago, a Chauncey and King-Boo 1-Cycle were unthinkable at the time 2) The whole concept of In-bounds skews had actually been seen long ago, and even i never thought anything of it. Former PAL WR holder DeathJohnson has a clip still on his twitch channel today where he got what looks almost like that perfect skew. Its titled "Luigi's great faceplant." In hindsight, that answer was right below our noses the whole time 3) On the topic of PAL, i find it funny how so many years ago, i actually caused a category name-change because i uploaded a Proof-of-concept to the forums where you would drag the golden bats over to the area after wall-skip to do the first main skew (since the purple bats traditionally used dont exist in that version), thus making PAL OoB possible, and yet to this day its never been utilized, but has now made it the theoretical fastest version for this unholy category
Great video. I remember loving your original Luigi Mansion speedrun video as someone who was unaware of Luigi Mainsion speed running as it was so cool to see how optimized the run was. When I learned about the new trick and saw the 5:14 run, I was shocked and amazed and knew there was a good chance you would make a video. Excited to see where the world record stands in a few months with this new trick.
I remember watching people do the original runs as a kid. Never thought it would ever be broken beyond that point. This is absolutely insane, kudos to everyone involved!
Great video again! Really Taylor deserves just as much credit as me for discovering the new clip, he was the one who started looking on that day, and then I joined in to help and just happened to be the one to find it first. I gotta say though, I do believe in the foyer clip someday... sub 3 minutes when
Hi Mini! Am I wrong to assume that no one ever tested to manipulate Luigis angle with the C-stick previous to your finding? Or was it something new that caused you to try it once again?
@@giriiko I believe I was the first person to try it, I basically tried to figure out why the GBH clips only worked up/down and realised that it's because any other direction will cause you to turn in the GBH, and then found that pressing the C stick up will prevent that from happening
Another amazing video doing Luigi's Mansion justice, Glitch Edited a fantastic video. Cannot wait for Pablo to get another "Unbeatable" WR for us to find another 2 minute time save.
I feel like a lot of the time people see a crazy any percent route and assume that there's nothing more to discover. I'm glad someone decided to look into this ancient route finally.
It's always heartwarming to see fellow Mini(s) achieving great things! 🥰 Minimini352 - evolving the Luigi's Mansion any% meta. Miniland - achieving a 4:54.914 run in Super Mario Bros.
Another banger video. Just when you think the game is finally optimized it always gets busted wide open again, and Nick did an amazing job with the editing as well. The LM community is truly one of the greatest speedrunning communities out there! I can't wait to see what's in store next.
Idk why but I always like it when these speedrunner analysis videos address the playable character by their name. Acknowledging that Luigi could randomly get spooked by ghosts upon entering floor 1.5 fits Luigi's character a bit and I'm not sure ehy
I was just watching your coverage of the Luigi's Mansion speedrun earlier. I was wondering after that video if the record had changed. Lo and behold, it did 😂 Amazing work from the speedrunners and for you for doing all of this 👏🏻
Also, not sure why you're not blown up even harder yet. first video I've seen from you, and you got some good quality my man! I enjoyed this and have to see more!
Holy shit. I just learned about Chauncey one cycle for the first time in this video. Everything else just broke my brain. This is so wild! Great job everybody
DAAAAMN. SUB 5 MINUTES IS *_THAT CLOSE????_* The original Skew Exploit was absurd, in it of itself. BUT THIS?! Speedrunning scares me even more than GhostFace(from a certain point of view, at least), I swear.

thank you!!! I was about to ask which songs from ttyd you were using since it's sounds so familiar
did you cerealsly like your own post? XD
@@rndmmeme87I didn’t like it. I LOVED it
..
If you think about it... Luigi walking through doors, walls, ceilings, walking in all different orientations.... I think LUIGI IS THE GHOST.
well no- wait actually he's got a damn point.
That’s a groaner. 🤦♂️😂
He supposed to fight them, not join 'em !
if you cant beat em, join em!
It is Luigi's Mansion

What kind off mice you mean pikachu
Never played Luigi's Mansion, never done speedrunning, but for some reason absolutely addicted to these videos!
I played Luigis Mansion for the switch (first Luigis Mansion ever) and I'd say it was not bad
i didnt understand a word he was saying but was still doing the poggers face the whole time, i love it when documenters like summoningsalt and lunaticJ get so enthusiastic. the speedrunning community seems so wholesome, lol! ive only played LM3 and cant wait for LM2 to be remastered for switch.
I really like watching videos about speedrunning, to see how much a game can be broken

glitch being revealed as the editor was fun lol
Reminded me of the one fighting game that summoning salt covered and it turned out he has all the wrs lol
I honestly half-expected glitch to be the owner of the channel, I feel like it's a well-established trope at this point

I'm real proud of ya for where you've gotten since I last saw you man. Great work!
I appreciate it! Happy Halloween!

It is possible to get that skew in parlor but it's not strong enough at all to be able to clip.

@@minimini352it's funny how often new glitches are found by trying one more button on the controller.
The fact that GlitchPhD became your editor is absolutely wild, I love that ^^

dw Flauke PAL Anteroom to Floor 1.5 clip will do wonders 😎
and thank you! 😄
I was JUST watching Linkus cover this game
Same lol
Mee to
Me three.
Same 🤣
Me aswell
And I thought the sub-8 was insane enough, and nigh unbeatable... Never doubt the glitch hunters.
The editing at 13:35 with his bewildered expression is really funny.
I feel like a lot of the time people see a crazy any percent route and assume that there's nothing more to discover. I'm glad someone decided to look into this ancient route finally.
It's now possible to beat Luigs mansion quicker than a casual super mario bros run.
Skews are already pretty crazy, but the ones for the Chauncey skip looks completely unhinged. I love it.
It's always heartwarming to see fellow Mini(s) achieving great things! 🥰
Minimini352 - evolving the Luigi's Mansion any% meta.
Miniland - achieving a 4:54.914 run in Super Mario Bros.
Minimini352 also prominent in Wind Waker speedrunning as well. Just didn’t really mention that in the video

Man that's awesome. As someone that ran this back in 2012 its nice to hear something new being found for it even 10 years later
A glitch that lets you go to the final boss without killing Chauncey? Yes please!
0:13 that's me! My point still stands, I love these speedrunning videos, keep em coming!

Speedrunners are some of the most crazy-determined, and disturbingly-creative playerbases in gaming...
imagine unironically saying a speedrun "can't get any faster"
it's like you're TRYING to awaken Sockfolder from his ancient tomb.
saw chauncey skip and instantly went "oh christ what have they been up to over there" and i was not disappointed. mother mercy, you've been busy bees
I had to listen to the start of the video 10 times. I still hear "Incwedibly broken speedrun" due to the sound clip playing at the same time lmao
Also, not sure why you're not blown up even harder yet. first video I've seen from you, and you got some good quality my man! I enjoyed this and have to see more!
the thing i love about these videos is that all the glitchhunters get credit. :)
makes it a nice motivator to be one
Oh my gosh they're getting so close to passing the Super Mario Bros WR

I just checked and TODAY the record was beaten... by milliseconds. Both 1st and 2nd place are at 5:02, with milliseconds of difference
And then minimini got a 5:02 WR on 12/03/2023
I was literally waiting for this. Incredible video :)
If there's one thing i've learned about speedrunning, it's to never claim that "this is the final minute barrier".
Ight from now on we only count speed runs off your first play of the game so you can use that fast ass vacuum
Jp I’m just salty I can’t get the glitches down
7:17 GOAT transition
I've never played this game in my life, I didn't even heard about it, but I watched the entire video with ease, you are doing a great job man!
It's funny how all the planets have to align for these things to work
This is why I like Luigi's Mansion 3 where you can't do this shit. You have to beat the floors in order.
my man is playing redial
It's kind of sad that the elusive Chauncey one-cycle was finally found, only to be completely obsoleted.
It’s only obsoleted in any%. It’s still very relevant in the No Out of Bounds and 100% categories
@@LunaticJ and 100%
I can’t believe Lotad blew the record out of the water. 💀
as soon as someone says the record can’t go lower someone is motivated enough to make it go lower
I HEAR BOWSERS GALAXY GENERATOR! banger, not used enough in these types of videos
this lunatic is my new favorite speedrun content creator
Luigi casually breaking physics just to get his brother back:
I think your right. I think at this point the only thing that would make it faster is ACE, but even that could be potentially slower.
LM was my first exposure to speedrunning, something like 15 years ago. absolutely stunned to see how far it's come
Never underestimate a speedrunner. They’re a whole different breed of human
you mean they need to get a life
This video exists to spite your original estimates of 8 minutes being a impossible barrier
I like that you pronounce horror as "whoar" (intentionally misspelled; replace the ending with "ore"). 😂😂
Imagine spending months working on your Chauncey one cycle only to find out that someone found a way to skip the fight altogether
Good way to finish a year, the same way it started: A Luigi’s Mansion video
The summoning salt video will be lit 🔥
The more we speed runner's play the Luigi Mansion series, the more it breaks.
Funny, i was just replaying this game today. Always fun to se new discoveries.
On November 8, PabloRuns got a 5:07 for a new record!
Stumbled across this video just now. Love speed run videos. Looks like PabloRuns just made a 5:07 run. So cool.
Great video man! Really well done 👍 never played this game, however I am a fan of speed running and will definitely check out LM more. Well done man 👌
Holy shit. I just learned about Chauncey one cycle for the first time in this video. Everything else just broke my brain. This is so wild!
Great job everybody
Thank you for using Bomberman Hero Ost!
I loved that game so much and it just makes me want to play it right now!
Great video! That was an awesome discovery, for sure!
This game is held together by a single fucking toothpick
Now we just have to wait and see how thin the toothpick really is.
The best speed game ❤ All of these new discoveries are so fascinating. Great video!
"This game can't get any faster." -every speedrunner before something else happens.
As a part of the playerbase I have to say it. 0:56, WYSI!
I cant believe you dont have more than 100k subs
Your videos are amazing
Cheers to many more luigi runs
Thank you for releasing this on halloween and holy cow I did not anticipate Chancy skip ever existing!
Great video as always. Thank you for shining some light on the LM community :)
I just watched your other video a few dats ago. The timing is is pretty good lol
Wait wait wait. You have the one of the leads in discovering the glitches and speedrunners AS YOUR CUTTER?! Wth of an epic flex is that?
0:55 WYSI
I always thought the baby boss screamed:: VIAGRA VIAGRA!!!
I miss running this game. Used to be 12th place in no oob... 8 years ago lol
4:50 Oh hey ! My native language on a LunaticJ video !
I love videos about these new records and how its done
Great job LJ
I feel like the C Stick Reveal is the kind of reveal that's like... Oh that makes perfect sense.
Hey, here to make an unorthodox comment. I'm so happy to hear some Super Paper Mario music in your videos!!! Such an underrated game!!!
DAAAAMN. SUB 5 MINUTES IS *_THAT CLOSE????_* The original Skew Exploit was absurd, in it of itself. BUT THIS?! Speedrunning scares me even more than GhostFace(from a certain point of view, at least), I swear.

Here after watching the first video. 👏
Thanks for making these.
Glitch said he is not ready to take the record below five minutes, ha ha.
We're in the Endgame now.
1,000 years ago Luigi came into being. His birth marked the beginning of the end. 1:00
It's actually insane just how fast you can beat Luigi's Mansion
The last thing I expected to hear in the middle of this Luigi's mansion video is Lotad
The year is 20XX. The Luigi's Mansion WR is clocking in at minus 20 minutes and speedrunners are still finding new strats to cut off time.......
(7:02) - Time to catch some Pokémon in the mansion.
Before starting the video I love the fact that I watched the first Luigi's Mansion video literally yesterday
Never thought I'd see the day when Luigi's Mansion got the equivalent of a 0 star run, but here we are! Insane what speedrunners can accomplish.
Pablo just shaved another whole 7 seconds off that time!
0:53 WHEN YOU SEE IT WHEN YOU SEE IT WYSI
The ghost can… SCARE Luigi
