56:46 and then... Matt Turk.
40:44 the fact it says “2020 simulator” on the run time split for the level called quarantine zone 😂
Song?
52:50 bro has a giant mic in his face and uses the earbuds mic instead
As of today (12-28-23), Synster holds the record at an astonishing 1:17:13, with zoo just 4 seconds slower a couple weeks ago. They remain the only two to have runs under 1:20!
The current record at this time is 1:17:12 by Synyster
Nothing like clicking on a summoning salt video and hearing that good ol synthwave music
Wanna feel old? Halo: Combat Evolved is older today than Pac-Man was when Halo first dropped.
Another thing to mention about Halo 2 Anniversary (and also probably why a lot of people did not like H2A) is that the enemies behaviors are tied to framerate. This was done in the original H2 as well, but the framerate was lower. H2A brought the FPS up, meaning that the enemies were essentially overclocked and doing a whole lot more fast, which is why you'd get melted as quickly as you do. Areas like the start of Gravemind (shown in the video) are way more harder in H2A than in H2 as a result. TLDR people who beat H2A on Legendary are more cracked than people who beat H2 on Legendary due to game upgrades practically injecting steroids in enemies.
I only understand half the split names but they're hilarious
just gonna leave this here as a boomer shooter fan, summoning salt should totally make a doom ii video, the sheer history and amount of tech, and the fact most records are recorded in demos, makes for an interesting speedrun history topic
Hearing from the runners themselves throughout the video was an amazing touch they seem like really nice genuine determined guys
Big fan of Cryphon's empathy/sympathy and cheering for and coaching of his speedrunner adversaries to keep at it for the glory. We should all aspire to this attitude.
My childhood. I just want to go back for one day to play this again online with all the boys. Glitches, super bounces, custom FFAs on Midship and snipers on Lockout. I'll even take getting modded on Terminal in the high ranks. Good times.
I love these so much. They always open my eyes to people scraping away at fractions of a second to be the best at a thing. I love the speedrunning community.
You should consider using vector graphics instead of pixel-based images for your graphs. They stay smooth and can stay the same thickness as you zoom in, instead of becoming pixelated and thicker. Loved this video btw
Never change the music in your videos, they give them this feel that I almost can’t explain but it’s just so comforting to watch. One of the best channels on this website, appreciate your videos man.
Johnson cloning is the funniest trick name ever. “And before you know it you have 4 Johnson’s attacking the boss.” been there man, been there
This, Quake and Half Life are all games I always dreamed of you covering. I'm so happy you got to cover this broken gem.
That mentorship between Cryphon and Zoo is beautiful. Sometimes seeing someone else achieve their goals, achieve their dreams, can be even sweeter than achieving your own.
