One of the most common questions people get on their videos of their speedruns is “how do people find all these glitches?” There’s a lot of different ways glitches are found. Sometimes they’re found accidentally as my friend EZScape has outlined in a few of his own videos. Sometimes they’re the result of intentional glitch-hunting. In this video, I interviewed three different speedrunners who have found glitches in different game, and got to hear their stories first-hand of how they found the glitches, what the glitches do, and what their line of thinking as that led to the discovery.

@tomatoanus on your fallout 3 all quests speed run ( th-cam.com/video/S1EpVZJrQew/w-d-xo.html) what is the song in the first minute of you playing? You didn't credit the song in the description and I've been looking for it for a long time now. I would appreciate a reply if it's not a bother.
Yeah... Nah. I skipped past all that. Great that you have a sponsor.. not a fan of these 'mobile game' sponsors. They get what they want by making their game, pay-to-win. So, no thanks. Find a sponsor that's got a good product, sure. Just not these kind of.. scummy.. business models.
I have played AFK arena for over a year and it’s pretty good. But claiming that it’s not grindy is just a lie.
*"There is nothing that takes up more time than trying to save time."*
-Some Guy on the Internet, regarding speedruns.
Spends a couple of years of planning and practicing: saves 1.13 seconds
that's some philosophical type shit
Nothing takes more time than humans trying to spend the least amount if time possible
Same applies to automating tasks!
the law of diminishing returns is a harsh mistress
Just wanted to thank you for taking the time to provide closed captions on your videos. I'm deaf, but thoroughly enjoy your content. It's rad that I get to see your humor as intended, instead of having it butchered by caption auto-generation. Appreciate it, Tommy.
Hey not saying you’re a liar but why do you have music saved in playlists on your channel
@@pugmaster7757 fair question. Long story short: I had years of gradual hearing loss due to a condition. I have cochlear implants, but I struggle with them. I can hear music broadly (beats, bass, etc) and enjoy it (some HATE it). When it comes to quick spoken word though, unless there are signs or captions it's really hard for me to follow along.
Here’s something you can understand 🤝👎🏻🤜🏻👈🏻🤝👊🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤜🏻🤏🏽👈🏻👍🏻🤘🏻🤛🏻🤏🏽
@@pugmaster7757 even if they originally didn’t have hearing, most deaf people like the vibration that music creates
@@TheMattyBoh That's pretty interesting. Because of this do you gravitate towards hip hop and rap?
Edit: Nvm I just went and looked at the playlist in question, we've got really similar music interests lol.
You would assume that speed runners just grind up against a wall for hours like a stripper, but it’s even more in depth than you’d think.
lol
Yep, well except with GoldSRC and Source games that tends to be the way to find glitches sometimes usually evolving quicksave spam and shoving props into you
🎶 Somebody come get him, he’s dancing like a speedrunner 🎶
incredible
*GIRLS:* If I grind this wall a certain way, men give me money.
*SPEEDRUNNERS:* If I grind this wall a certain way, I can buffer inputs into the game's engine and make the physics launch me towards the end of the level... also I have unlimited money too.
Soooo… this is my first video of his, was not expecting that greeting of “My name is Tomatoanus, also known as the 1 inch wonder.” That might be my first actual "You had my curiosity, but now you have my attention" moment.
My exact experience lmao 😂

Wow Chicago Guy, very cool that you admire the frescoes of Pietro da Cortona and Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino, I too admire the frescoes of Pietro da Cortona and Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino
The reason for this video is so that Tomato can get us to find a way to finally bypass the Memory Den.
there's some glitches like: clipping through walls and starting to fly by stacking momentum in some games. These glitches I can imagine how to you'd discover, because I always try to clip walls even in casual games. A thing that will never make sense in my mind is how you find a glitch that needs a fucking setup so specific that not a single person in Earth would know without data mining
Probably accidentally.
Those are discovered by people with deep knowledge in the engine or game and how they work or by pure accident or through data mining

Short answer: *A LOT OF FAFFING ABOUT*
Long answer:
I feel like “faffing about” is the ultimate British phrase.
@@ThePhobophile it’s funnier if you read it with a strong Irish accent
I'd love to see this kind of like a mini-series: How various Speedrun glitches/Skips are found. Come up with a clever name, and I think this would be great to watch
Thank you for creating this, I have not played any of these games, but I always love knowing more ^^
"TBF- Turning Bugs into Features" :p
Exploit Origins?
"How to find cracks and slip through them"
DonYagamoth How about “Son of a Glitch”? Oh wait...
Seconding this, I think this could be a series. The interviews were great and very well-structured
I love how the names of the glitches scaled on this, to the very objective name, to a more obscure one that seems to only make sense for insiders, to saddle skedaddle
Holy sponsor segment! Almost as entertaining as the "One-inch wonder!"
One of the few times I haven't skipped a sponsor segment
Always wondered how they found these.
Hey, FYI tomatoanus is American, so he will beat your ass up
@@Baltasarmk what
CandyGames Americans are tough
Baltasarmk what does this have to do with a guy wondering about how some glitches are found
In a speedrun farm, grown from
Baby glitch eggs, raised and fattened up to be slaughtered for gamers to feast upon
That havrd guy sounds like the most wholesome fellow.
I can't wait for Starfield and ESVI glitches to just be the exact same ones as Fallout 4 and Oblivion
@You picked the wrong house, fool! The curse of Great-Grandma Sparkle.
@@GrugGangGrugGang mitten squad reference? Fallout 3?
Tomato- “My name is Tomatoanus, also known as the 1 inch wonder”
Me- *spiting out cereal* excuse me?
100% me. Saw this in my recommended, decided to check it out, and this is what I'm greeted with. Literally a "You had my curiosity, but now you have my attention" moment.
"aka Dongus Minimus" - can't remember which video he said that on, but it still makes me laugh now. :D
I really like how the spotlight was put on the innovators in this video.
Certainly the person who puts all the pieces together deserves their recognition as record holder, but we tend to forget that they stand on the shoulders of giants.
This was a great glitches video!
As a sequel video, could you focus on route-planning? Just as a way to string the set of glitches in a game with normal play into the primary speedrun.
I'd love to see the thought process into what glitches are useful, which were discarded and why, and how the gameplay differs from the norm.
I second this. A route-planning video would be neat.
Yes to this idea!
Unfortunately, the answer to that is just: You try it. You make a list of what you need to do to complete the game. You cross off anything you can skip. You try to do whatever remains as fast as possible.
It's just that simple, really. If you think X is fastest, you try it. Maybe someone else thinks Y is fastest, they try that. The times are compared, and then you have your answer.
The 'planning' is really just 'What can I not skip'. It's kind of a misnomer, really, as you don't plan anything, you just try different variations to see what is fastest.
SHiFT's whole thing about making the run enjoyable is pretty much how ZFG came up with NSR if I'm not wrong. It's a run to test all of the strategies with almost 0 rules. Before all the SRM and ACE it was a blast to just see what weird routing you could do. I definitely would love to see more of that.
It's so great that tomatoanus is reaching non-English speaking viewers!
Congratulations, you've conveyed information to exactly 10 people who all live in the same culdesac and share one and a half sets of parents.
Alright grandpa. Finish your pudding, its nap time.
His Midwest accents make me feel like I’m watching Fargo.
What in the hell is a Midwest accent
@@Laws2 an accent from the midwest
Yah?
@@Laws2 i live in montana..... but have lived in MN and WA state
.
i think its more of how we pronounce words and where the accents are.... VS how we "say" the words
also.... your never going to hear crick (a stream smaller than a creek) or coolie in NYC or something
@@kainhall i totally agree, lived in MN my whole life and its moreso a dialect than an accent these days, which I think is pretty cool (but I have been told my accent comes out more when I'm mad)
Me for almost every ad: *instantly skips*
Me when I hear Chicago man: "Let's hear him out"
Hello, TomatoAngus!
Oh, wait, the "g" is silent...
I dunno what you're talking about, Tomatoangus (the g is silent) and Tomatoanus are obviously different people
Best one liner of his career.
@@AxelTheAussie Pretty damn obvious they are different individuals
As someone from Minnesota, Minnesota Guy was spot on.
I think future videos like this about how other popular skips were found in games would be fucking awesome. EG elevators in Dishonored, GK Clipping in DOOM, Lag Clipping/Boop Clipping is a funny one from A Hat In Time. There’s so many fun stories behind glitch discoveries
I loved this! It was so cool to hear some of the work that goes into the speedruns we have seen you talk about on this channel. I'd love to see more like this, maybe even for one game's run in particular. I've seen other channels do "speed run histories" and this was kind of like a speed run oral history, hearing from the people actually involved. Awesome work!
This was epic. You picked your guests really well. All of them remind me of your style at least a little bit. I wouldn't want this to be your dominant format but I'd definitely watch more stuff like this.
p.s. hot damn that Outro track!
For the original glitched route of Remnant: From the Ashes, we had a few guys just run through the whole game, trying to teleport on top of stuff with the blink ability. Someone found a stone slab to port on to and i think he accidentally used the Aoe healing ability, Mender's Aura, while on top, which caused him to fall through the stone he was standing on and also allowed to run through closed doors. Took him days to find, but shaved off 20 minutes of the WR. Sadly got patched later, but that's how the Remnant community did it.
“Hi I’m Tomatoeanus, also known as the one inch wonder”
WHEEZE
Hey tomatoanus, fellow game glitcher here (mostly not useful glitches).
For out of bounds glitches, I look for every border of the map and places that I can jump on. For other glitches mostly I try pressing more than one button at the same time, syncing some button pressing with some animation or maybe holding a button while doing some other thing or sometimes just playing the game and seeing an opportunity, I'm a developer, sometimes thinking how the game may work, will help finding glitches.
Glitches that I've found: invisible launchers on battlefield 4, out of map on every map on bf3 and 4 campaign (If I'm not mistaken), use weapon underwater on bf4, "teleport" on bf4 campaign, out of map on a lot of destiny locations, money duplication on a big mobile game, glitched weapon animation on black ops 2, go through walls on just cause 4 and some others, yeah out of bounds are the easiest to find.
Boy do I love Frescoes.
This was super well made and very interesting! I could tell you were preparing your questions to the three well and it all blended nicely together!! :)
This was a fantastic video man! Would love to see a continuation of this with more speedrunners in the future.
Great video. Love the glitch explanation and then the runner’s perspective on the run and community as a whole.
You should definitely do more videos like this! I would love to see this turned into a series of videos reaching out to different speedrunning communities and how they found their biggest glitches.
I have seen a lot of brand integration commercials. Especially for AFK Arena. But wow, I've never seen one like this.
First time I've ever felt like someone put effort into it. First time I've actually felt like it might be a decent game and not a cash grab. Well done.
they discovered a glitch an indeterminate amount of years ago, and thats how tomatoanus was born
I actually managed to find a glitch on Links Awakening for the OG Gameboy back in the day. I remember being stuck on one of the puzzles in an early dungeon and thinking that i must have missed an item or wasnt using something they wanted me to use so i opened my inventory while transitioning to a new room and the game set Link's sprite on the same on screen location as the doorway i went through, but on the new room's layout, letting me "hop" off the wall and into the boss loot room skipping the boss altogether. Was REALLY trippy the first time i did it because i thought i got myself stuck lol
Havrd really covered the basics real well. The others did answer the questions, but skipped out on a few assumptions that really arnt assumptions to those of us outside the speadrunning community. "Well, i want to get this thing sooner, so I tried doing this" is a good answer, but...why did you do that? Of all the things you could have done, why THAT? Havrd went into that quite well.
REALLY dug this! Don't think I'll ever get into actually doing speedruns of games, but I love hearing the process for someone's brain works when they're looking for glitches or pushing a game to its limits. Would really love to see more content like this that dives into the minutia of how pathing / runs / glitches are developed.
One of your best videos yet. Seriously man, this sort of openness to new formats is why you will continue to grow this awesome channel!
Loved this man, super interesting. Would love to see more in this as a series :)
this is so cool!! very interesting to see all the different motivations and techniques behind glitch hunting. also, love that nujabes at the end ;D
This is actually very interesting type of video. Wouldn't mind seeing more of this kind of stuff, I like seeing glitches and such and how they have been found.
Excellent stuff. No doubt took all of you a while. Would love to see more.
I really liked this video, and I'd gladly see more like this one. I appreciate the time you put into making these :)
Please make more of these! It was amazing to hear these stories!
Super interesting video, would love to see more like it. As someone who doesn't follow the speedrunning world at all, this is an incredible peak into one of the most interesting niches in gaming. I really love it.
Loved this video, really hope that this becomes a series!
Very fun video! Loved the glitch explanations & histories! Thanks for uploading!
I would LOVE more videos like this. I would love a whole in depth video of what glitch hunting looks like.
Always fascinating to hear how these techniques are found and the thought process involved. Would deff make for an interesting series. Interview more runners please!
I've been wondering this for so long, so excited to watch the video thanks!
This was super cool! Engine breaking in source was a huge passtime in my childhood and it’s really fun seeing others doing it now in other engines. Thanks, Tomatoanus
This was great, would love to see more things like this!
Love how you’re highlighting different runners and giving them an audience!
this is the one thing that’s never really covered thanks for making a vid on it tom ato
Really enjoyed this and would love to see more glitch videos.
I'm sure it's a lot of work (especially the graphics stuff) but I would definitely love more videos in this style. Really really interesting to hear everyone's methods for finding these. Thank you!
Definitely make more i loved learning about how glitches are found. I've always wondered how they get found
I know this is a couple months old, but it was a great watch and super interesting to hear the process for this stuff.
“A loadwarped horse chair hybrid!”
This was a really cool video! Would love to see more of this content.
I think this is one of the most interesting speedrun videos I've watched in a long time, loved it.
Love the AFK bit, freaking awesome! I've always wondered how speedrunners found glitches, so this is right up my alley! Wait that didn't sound right.
Lag warping, (Sponge warps with lag) was discovered by GoodGuyTongue in the BFBB discord after the topic of lag strategies on console was brought up. It was found that it was possible to lag a VBB (Vertical bowl boost) which begged the question if it was possible to lag a spongewarp. Low and behold, it was. And now we have a glitch that lets you teleport across the map :D
I really enjoyed this video, would love to see more like it in the future
I would LOVE to hear commentary like this for gamechanging speed runs. Hell you could make a weekly podcast on this I bet.
Long time viewer, first time commenter here. I really like your videos explaining glitches and tech accessibly, I find speedruns without commentary difficult to comprehend and you insert a more human element into them. I also like your dry wit.
Anyways I'm always happy to see your videos in my subscription uploads and I hope you continue to make them.

This was super interesting! great job dude!
Love it! Cant wait to see more!
30:07 I love that Watch for Rolling Rocks in 0.5x A presses is required reading
Nice video! I'd appreciate more of this content in the future.
This is a really good video. It relaxed me during my sickness
You can see the effort put into this video 100% really well done
The real speedrun was the friends we made along the way.
haha, its funny cause I dont have friends..
@ZCS it's funny cause old stuff does become memes.
Really enjoyed this and hope it becomes a series! How about having runners talk about similar strats in different games and how they differ? Like an episode about bunnyhopping in different games or RNG manipulation in different games?
This is really awesome, keep it up!
I'd love to see more videos like this, super interesting and entertaining
Love the content! Hope to see more!
All your content is quality my dude, please keep it up
My boy angus is a fan of Nujabes...that’s pretty tubular man! It makes since that someone as cool as you would have a great taste in music :D
Glad you got a sponsor for this video buddy! Everyone should be happy that he has a sponsor because it means the content keeps flowing!
Woooohooooo Tomatoanus posts and we are here immediately
The title made me think this would be a bit more about tips and tricks for glitch hunting rather than stories of doing so, but I really liked it. Good work.
Dude, you can't just post a 40 minute video while I'm working... Pumped as hell to see what you've got in store here.
I imagine by the way they the interviewees talk you ask good questions. Would love to see more of this type of vids
Hold on...I came here for the video title but actually died at the Chicago guy advert XD deadass as someone with a thick chicago accent he had me rolling
I was in the middle of watching your newest fallout 4 speedrun explained video when this was posted. Love your content so much.
Thanks for making this, trying to explain this stuff to people outside speedrunning is frustrating.
Very interesting. I've always wondered what happened to find some.
That advertisement was the best thing I’ve seen in my entire life
nolan’s explanation for link’s awakening at 3:50 can also be used to describe bloodborne lol
This a nice video, it feels like a documentary. Thanks for posting
Would love to see more videos like this!
Really interesting video dude, and a great choice of topic
Great video. Keep them coming!
Love when glitches get fun names like Saddle Skedaddle instead of really descriptive functional names
Very informative, thanks a lot for the video!
Learned a lot about the Speedrunning community, but ALSO learned that Tomato’s a Nujabes fan :)
