    Just in time for the remake.
    This video is a "glitchless" version of my previous SL1 run. Hopefully, it'll help for the next remake.
    [EDIT] Works in the remake.

    • @sofija1996
      @sofija1996 3 года назад +35

      It's probably to make the run a "true" challenge, a test of player's skill, understanding of the game and patience, and not "how can I crank the numbers up high enough to make the game relatively easy even without leveling up my character". It's similar to the reason why there are separate speedrun categories for "glitched" and "glitchless" (though certain speedrun glitches are quite difficult to perform, so it's not a perfect analogy).

      @@Clarity_Control To be fair, a lot of YMFAH's runs have segments that aren't fun to play. Challenge runs are ultimately about setting arbitrary restrictions that may not be fun.
      Though admittedly, the language used in that ban list was kinda low-key judgey about stuff they considered cheap/overpowered/cheesey. Plus, setting that many fine criteria can kinda feel pedantic; even if it's justified it still looks sort of silly on paper.
      At the very least it's definitely a contrast to YMFAH runs which celebrate using whatever means necessary to accomplish an interesting goal.

    If u don’t know demons souls is the only souls game to have a mechanic where is you walk up to certain ledges you could just climb. It was unique but it was hard to find places that were meant to be clambered. like in this situation where only the ledge right here is climbable and most other ledges that look the same in this level aren’t.

      andy yeah it probably stems from the fact that demons souls which is not only the shortest souls game is also the easiest to do a sl1 run with all this cheese. That and how it’s the oldest souls game has led to its small dedicated community to create better challenges for those who actually want more masochism.
      The rules also make sense (although the ones ymfah showed are a little confusing) but since it’s a dedicated challenge run for pure skill it’s only natural they prohibit tactics that ruin boss encounters like sniping the maneaters before even walking thru the fog gate or using hyper mode to kill bosses in a couple hits before they are even a threat.

    I love how you treated the ban list. Personally I feel if it's in the game it's free game. For instance people always tell new people in ds1 to not get the Drake sword but that thing falls off pretty fast and ain't worth leveling so they will naturally gravitate to something else. Personally I'm always happy when I see someone swap to the claymore due to it being in the same area (also the roll attack is godly). Never got to play demon souls due to not having a PS3 but the game is so broken from everything I've seen. Hackers getting their armor broke by the scraping spear, backstab chaining, mass item duping, the list goes on. Arguably ds1 has the same backstab chaining and item duping though, it's rare that I do a run anymore without duping a boss soul to save time.

Guess I got a one track mind, one gimmick per run usually. Right now I'm weeping trying to do a no item run of DS1 where I can't use anything and have to kill stuff with bare fists while naked. Just killing the asylum demon took about 20 minutes, it's such an endurance based run.
