    Recently, for the first time in history, someone beat Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy in less than a single minute. This was the last major barrier to broken in the game, and is one of the most important speedrunning achievements we've seen in a while.

      @pizzlerot2730 ปีที่แล้ว +282

      To be fair, a game like this would be pretty hard to TAS down to like a "lowest possible time", because of how complicated the movement is. You'd have to optimize momentum, placement, and highest possible velocity at the most optimal angle for literally every motion. It would require an algorithm to run through tons of permutations of all of these variables (and probably some I'm not thinking of) to find the combination that would result in the quickest possible run.

      ​@@thomasdickson3622 That's interesting. So the tool copies or is taught the techniques of players? So it's not brute forcing itself through the game..? Could it make any discoveries then, or could it have beaten the players faster?

      @@Jokervision744 yeah most "tool assisted" means clipping together recordings of runs to make a perfect run (either from recorded keystrokes or demo files like Doom, etc). There also is some experimentation done with AI "playing" the game and trying to see if it can solve faster paths, but that's more an experiment with AI than an actual attempt at a faster run. The most basic form of tool assisted is to run the game in an emulator that supports save states, you can quick save, try your move, if you fail reload and try again.

    I just want to note that one of the tools that was instrumental in helping runners improve is anjo2's modpack. It allows you to spawn faster at the start of the game, which, in a game that only takes around 1 minute and 15 seconds to beat (and requires thousands of restarts), will save hours of time in the long run. You can even set up checkpoints that you can respawn from to practice a section. It also contains a built in timer (no livesplit needed!) so you can compare your splits to see how much you are improving by or falling short. I truly believe that the modpack is perhaps the biggest tool for improving at speedrunning GOI.

    As somebody with a 6 min pb in GOI, I can say that the crazy thing is that there are STILL improvements to be made! There were tiny mistakes in the WR run that I’ve seen faster in other runs, such as at the top of chimney, at the top of slide-skip, and at the end of snowballs. I don’t know if humans will ever get sub 50, but I can see sub 55 as a realistic goal over the years.
    Thank you Karl for making a video on GOI! It really is a fantastic speedrunning game. No RNG, short, and is all about skill. I always love coming back to it every now and then, and this seems like a great reason to do it again!

At first you get better so fast but after 60 improvements I a row it starts to get difficult to make an improvement every 3rd run then every 10th and now I stopped after not getting sub 6 after our 40 more attempts.

      Sub 1 min is more insane than most people think as progression slows dramatically after a certain point. My second run was under 45min and my 10th under 10 min but in 90 more attempts I only managed to get down to 6m.

    I'm proud to have beaten this game once. It took hours upon hours. Beating it under a minute is just absolutely mind-boggling god-tier skill and nothing else, given there's no glitches, major skips, or any other such "strategy" (in the typical sense) whatsoever involved. There's only a single "skip" the speedrunners all seem to take, which is one you don't need to be all that skilled for and is fairly obvious when you play the game. (If I remember correctly, I almost managed to pull it off myself a few times.) So this is just sheer movement skill and nothing else. Incredible.
    By the way, had to chuckle whenever you said the controls and movement are incredibly complex. Although I know what you mean, it's literally just moving the mouse which moves the hammer. There's nothing else to it. You don't press a single button in this game, you literally just move the mouse, and it's the hardest thing ever.

    • @dopaminecloud
      @dopaminecloud ปีที่แล้ว +1

      to be fair, it's not a static translation of mouse movement to game output, so if you slap that level of complexity on top of the sheer accuracy that mouse movement already encapsulates it gets rather crazy
      pushing a million buttons can't put a dent in that sort of complexity
