My channel generally focuses on a more casual side of speedruns. With these videos I want to show off cool speedruns, explain how they work, and entertain. Hopefully you enjoy the content and maybe even take up speedrunning yourself, because it is truly a lot of fun!

I’m taking this as the canonical run because the protagonist does not give a fuck and just wants to get out of there as quick as possible
That sounds like the realistic reaction a regular person would have in this situation. Well, sorta. It would be even more realistic if the protagonist immediately turns around as soon as he gets there, leaves without looking back and goes job hunting the next morning after reconsidering all his life choices.
@pedrovallefin8406mid life crisis 😞
He also very sleepy so he just wants to finish the job
For real though-
I'm glad this was glitchless, because the 4 minute run was discovered way too fast
ask not how your game can break you, but how you can break your game.
4 minutes is insane
More accurately 3:41 for what i know which is a big deal because in speedrunning every second counts.
@whisper3856 its pretty funny they kinda just slam themselves into a locker door and get glitched oobs then fall into the ending area
@tmob1325 yeah lol
I literally haven't even had time to watch a full playthrough and people are already speed running it
THIS
More than just speedruning; they've beaten it sub-4 minutes with glitches on release patch (idk if they fixed the huge one that made the run possible or not)
well when it's a 5 min any%...
The game takes like 5 hours max to beat on the first try I’m surprised I didn’t see and on the second day😭
I don’t even think any of the people I watch that WOULD play this have even finished their play through/video for it yet as this is the only video I have on it in my subs list 😂
I love seeing speed runs where they actually play through the game as fast as possible instead of using glitches to skip literally everything and beat it in under 2 minutes
We love glitchless categories
I think some glitches are fine as long as they don't completely break the game. Skips like the frozen door on MGS are cool to perform, and still they don't make the game a weird corridor behind the walls to watch the credits
Any% is funny though because you see the technique and it's like: "You must get in this locker and get out in exactly 21 frames or else you miss your bus stop and you lose time. Then you must perform 247 frame perfect inputs to do a quarter backflip cancel spin while pausing the game every other frame. You then must hold left to glitch through a wall. Once through you have to navigate an invisible maze to hit a load zone that will load in the dev backrooms where there's a dev door to every ending. Once you're through hit time."
@spynix0718😂😂😂😂
thats just glitchless bro its not very rare to find
Jackie being marketed a lot, just to only have about 5 minutes of screen time is hilarious
I know right
People were making theories regarding her place in the story and she gets broken and abandoned during her second appearance
funny how steel wool learnt nothing from vanny in security breach. How do you end up marketing a character who barely appears in your game twice??
pianosaurus treatment, lol
cool character: ☑
good marketing: ☑
decent lore: ☑
shows up once in the entire game only to immediately die: ☑
@jan_harald yeah but here’s the thing though most good characters die in poppy playtime instead of living for 2 chapters but the only one that did that was poppy kissy missy and huggy wuggy and also the prototype
@Draganyb same in fnaf tho
where's balloon boy? or jj? where's baby? ballora? bob-bon? where's mr hippo? where's candy cadet? where's vanny? where's tape girl? where's anyone?
everyone is just gone, forever after, at most appearing in like, 2 games, and lucky if even that, lol
26:17 you can actually see the mimic leaving nurse Dollie’s springlock suit, bevor the elevator crashes into the ceiling, a really cool detail I haven’t picked up till now
I wish I had Glamrock Chica springlock suit. Or a Roxy one. Or Nurse Dollie. Or, better yet, all of the above.
Wait... A Withered Bonnie springlock suit...
...yes...
@cyl_genderfluid-furry do you have a death wish? Or do you want to be the new William Afton?
@ErikS-z1e Eh, I'm more of a Marvel nerd loser than a theatre nerd loser, and also, I wasn't born into wealth. Also I'm not a psychopath.
Definitely the first one were it either. But mostly because I like the idea of Springlock suits. Big bulky mechanical suits that you can wear, *_AND_* can be cute anthropomorphic animals?! Where do I sign up?!
@cyl_genderfluid-furryuhhh username checks out I guess 😅
@magnav6797 This is the first time that line has been said seriously to me in a factual manner.
You could say the Mimic had a lot of secrets
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
THIS IS SO FUNNY I SHIT MY PANTS
HOLY SHIT THIS IS FUNNY AS HELL
HAhahhahahahahah
Insert stock laughter here
It seems the true secret of the mimic was the “my name is Edwin”s we made along the way
E
6:20 you actually fall through the roof into the main office which is comedically convenient lol
Same with the rooftop access, Edwin says that creators are allowed on the roof because they need to re-tar it.
the controls are weird because it is a VR game that had it's flat version polished and published first, since that allows more people to play it
where was it mentioned it was a vr game?
looked it up, cant wait to play vr version
@Wertyhappy27even the physics of the hand is a lot like VR game
@Wertyhappy27when the game was first announced and played for demos it was said to be vr and flatscreen, but neither the PlayStation or steam page say vr anymore
They have confirmed vr mode but it will take awhile for them to release it
Didn’t know that but I thought it was pretty obvious while playing
Fun fact, when you kill Nurse Dollie, you can actually see the Mimic crawl out of her body and jump into a vent.
Since you were wondering, the Mimic is the main baddie of the game. Every enemy you meet is controlled by the Mimic. As for why its targeting you, the dispatch claims its due to a "glitch in its programming" and that it developed "homicidal tendences". Also, the Mimic, when it takes over another animatronic, it takes on the attitude and mentality of the character it "mimics".
well, the cupcakes aren't controlled by the mimic, I don't think, and they can kill you
but yeah, the mimic is mimicing the dispatch throughout the entire game, or at the very least since you entered the mansion, exactly like in ruin, mimicing every moving animatronic, etc
Is why when Dolly is about to be crushed you can see the Mimic getting out of her
@jan_harald the cupcakes can kill you?
@Gengarnit_345 I haven't seen the animation myself but according to the youtuber himself the cupcake can kill you if you get too close. This is on top of it creating a ton of noise drawing the Mimic to you.
@jan_harald Dispatch actually gets replaced in the middle of the game when his voice glitches out. You can tell because he stops talking about the 25$ gift certificate.
Fazbear’s most efficient employee:
The fact that you were under the impression that Dollie off of her track was still Dollie goes to show that the Mimic is good at what it was designed for
17:35 i’ve gotten the mimic stuck on that lift multiple times it’s so funny. he keeps running and can’t get out of it
loll
I got it from CoryxKenshin
I just did it a few minutes ago
36:08 Why even is there a rear view?
damn this was quick
glitched ones take around 5 mins
Wow
@Heavy_Lvy JAJAJ i know, i was talking about me being 26 secs into the vid; either way, crazy good vid, keep it up speezy!
The mimic the entire time: dang bro where are you going!?
29:48 “I got the trick the first try the second time”
🫠
Thanks for all the jumpscare warnings, even the small ones. Not a lot of creators do that, so thanks
"Time to play" When I heard these words, I murmured, almost hypnotically "No? Well time to die!". It all came back to me like a punch in the face. I now must live with the burden of remembering.
My name is edwin
@anonymoussnekkI made the mimic
I believe it was David Baron I watched, where the moment he saw Jackie, he was hit with instant ptsd
13:18 so of course we give him one😭
Based😎
who wouldn't
3 reasons why big top and music man are hot 1 music man Mapat remix 2 look at him 3 he looks sick as hell
@cleanpenny8090 Dang right
Cant wait until you learn the GtLive technique that lets you despawn Chica
it truly is a skill they have 😂
Honestly feels in character for arnold to straight up ignore dispatch
OSHA violation in my fnaf game?
It's nice of Steelwool to keep providing us with games that take so little of our time that they can be beaten in mere minutes.
Seriously, like 3 minutes for Security Breach and 4 minutes for SotM.
Thank you so much for the jumpscare warnings, im not good with jumpscares
the reason why the mimic does not appear at 7:00 is because the script says to wait for ms.Helpy dialog about retrieving the cassette.
its a way for you to explore that area early, because after that the mimic will always appear regardless of where you came from
I love the fact that he's unbothered by the horror/scary elements. Dude, I'd be terrified.
Arnold really pulled up his bootstraps on this one
Take a shot every time EazySpeezy says something along the lines of "I don't even know", "Not sure how that happened", "Not sure why", or "For whatever reason".
The most annoying part of the game is: That the Mimic can and will spawn, directly besides/behind/in front of you, if it's desires so.
Espacially in the part where you have to collect the parts for the springlock suit...
ive also learned that big top doesnt start to move toward you during the puzzle unless you look at him
if anyone is wondering: This isn't what the any% speedrun is like: you use a locker to clip out of bounds to the end of the game and finish in 4 minutes
Half the run is the main lobby song, it's crazy. If there's ever a way to skip that, it would go down to like 2 minutes
I quite literally do not know what to say
I guess its any% glitchless? Not a speedrunner but I think thats what its called
@thecatladytm7172 based on the abbreviation, I believe that it's specifically any% [no major skips].
I think he made this before that skip was found, if not, wtf
the mimic getting increasingly more pissed because arnold wont pick up the damn phone
12:00 If you'd ever played the game you would have gotten the Mr. Helpful voiceline specifically stating that Creators have roof access so that they can retar the roof. Great use of creative energy!
8:21 at around this time of your timer markaplyer just got into the factory
Yo markaplyer is crazy it’s markiplier
knew speedruns of this game would come out extremely quickly.
damn, arnold REALLY wanted that 25$ bonus
I am so used to all kinds of lore enthusiasts freaking out over tiger rock, that him just calling it the “kitty cat is really funny to me”
I don’t like watching 5 hour play throughs, but I love your videos about Fnaf games. You’re the main reason I got into current games like security breach, because of not that long easy to watch speed runs, which still explain a lot of stuff
EazySpeezy did a speedrun on this game before cory posted the 4th video for sotm. Absolute cinimatic
ive been waiting for that video too lol
13:17 "Hey can i please have a kiss"-
Lop
11:58 - There is an audio log when Edwin explains that the creators have been given roof access to re-tar the roof. What a great boss :/
I absolutely love how Eazy's speedruns arenot only fun to watch, but they also fill me in on new games that I'm unlikely to buy (already went through my obligatory FnaF phase 11 or so years ago though!)
when it floats down.
Fun fact: despite popular belief, bananas actually DONT vomit out of their tissue box!
Many of the questions you are asking, like Creators having access to the roof, are actually explained in the game (like in the voice logs), I think it's great.
The game came out 5 days ago and we already got a speed run
31:40 Since the game did an incredibly poor job of explaining how this room works, I discovered a way to cheese it on my first playthrough.
Open the door and walk in immediately. Then keep the Tiger Rock mascot in your view the whole time as you rotate around him, lining up his silhouette with the light from the previous room bleeding through the door to orientate yourself. Next, walk backwards while still looking in this direction, if you lined it up correctly your back should touch the lever. Finally, you will operate the lever and run through the door, and since his teleport has a gradual buildup and he was stunlocked to the beginning of the room, you will have enough time to progress through
Spiff's playthrough and Speezy's speedrun should be an all-in-one package
26:26 if you look closely you can see the mimic leaving her suit
5:25 that actually makes sense bcz the Mimic isn't used to Jackie's Body.. (wait, that sounded wrong)
4:09 Soulja Boy Reference?
“Arnie, crank that Soulja Boy”
“Shinji, crank that Soulja Boy”
"Jackie, crank dat Souljia boi"
“EasySpeezy, crank dat Soulja Boy”
thanks for the tips for the Dollie and white tiger parts! I was dreading doing the white tiger part so much but not anymore!
This helped so much!
I played this game but got soft locked at the parachute.exe ending and had to redo the game. This video made it go by way faster
100% speedrun sounds like it would be great
I remember first finding this channel from hus security breach playthrough and now i am watching him speedrun the next fnaf game
That was quick af
fun fact: any% runs just take less than 5 mintues 💀
but still good job
less than 4 actually lol
The locker room telephone booth
this is a glitchless run
@fox_dakinggaming7904it also dosent go over the limit of 60 FPS
It is indeed
you should speedrun the parachute exe eding
I was just thinking the other day I wonder how speedrun-able Mimic is...turns out its possible lol.
I do like the idea of the mimic changing their suit whenever they get the chance. I feel like that's a key part of helping make the statement earlier in the game more useful about it's blueprint needing to be recovered.
i was waiting for u to post to watch this game cause ur just better like that
Really clear and easy to follow.
I would love to see a Good Ending run! There's so many sections of the game you can just completely ignore even going for True Ending, there's lots of looping back you have to do and a lot of general messing around with the inventory system and Moon.exe and it seems like a good time.
I haven't at all heard of this, I gotta ger back into fnaf
rahh i was waiting for you to speedrun it! i love ur speedruns ❤
i guess i just love your commentary a lot. no unnecessary screaming or anything, no long silent awkward pauses, you just get straight to the point and i like that a lot. idk i enjoy your vids sm
6:23 If you look up you can see there is now a hole in the ceiling that you fell through
i cant get that damned song out of my head😭✌️🥀🥀
I think his name is the fucking mimic oh yeah
this video shows as soon as i 100% the game its a sign
did you know fnaf is named fnaf because of the name of the characters?
freddy
ahica
nonnie
foxy
You can one round upgrade the first security permision. Saves like a couple seconds
Jackie: Happy Birthday!
Me: ...my birthday is November 3rd...thank you in advance...I guess...
ive been waiting for this
do all endings speedrun pls
"Here comes Jacky telling us time to play but don't really care because i stole the crank" had me ROLLING for no reason💀
I think the dialogue with Ms helpful for the elevator triggers the mimic to start spawning
Can you speedrun Kindergarten 3? I loved the two other videos on your channel, and the 3rd game seems to have a lot of potential
same
Thank you for telling me its out 😅
That'd be great
☝️☝️ this!
bro it just dropped on steam the day you posted that
This gave me goosebumps.
Already speedrunning bro??
Love your speed run vids man always watch them while playing games
0:55 peak song
my name is edwin
I made the mimic
12:12 so proud of u music msn
My name is Edwin
I made the mimic
It was difficult to the pieces together
But unfortunately something went so wrong
So now I can't do anything
But sing this stupid song
My name is Edwin, Edwin
No time to run and hide no time to fight
I fainted last night and this really helps me forget about it
You know it’s a scary game when even the speed run gives you the creeps…thank you Easyspeezy for speed running this so I can watch the game without a lot of fear.
“The air TINGLES with a looming sense of SICKNESS
28 seconds ago is insane
Is 6 min good?
Is two years good?
Maintenance guy has had enough and is steamrolling the task at hand to finish the shift early
14:02 That's what she said
Nah you're incredibly weird
@Ketchuplovingfreak Don't watch The Office bro
That’s disgusting
@USJAPANUKwhats that
@AutumnValencia-r9l Don't watch The Office bro
Thanks for the jumpscare warnings, cool way to see this kind of games
I'm curious, do you play the game and do the voice overs separately or at the same time? if it is all at once I'm very impressed!
I'm pretty sure all of his speedruns have him voicing over it live, I don't know he keeps that much focus and remembers all the strats AND commentates over what's he's doing simultaneously, kudos to him!
He does it separately
i love these speed runs becasue it’s basically a gameplay demo. if i like it i can watch the full playthrough, if i dont then this was enough
18:53 voice crack :(
Waay he said waay
I like how they have big top use ballora’s music
I Felt this game was more like Resident evil than fnaf. idk its just full of chase scenes with silly animals lol i cant take it seriously the only scary part was losing progress and having to do it all over again.
15:00 if you want to throw it to distract him you gotta wait till you hear the noise that signals he's spawned.
The speedrun is already 4 seconds due to a hiding spot allowing you to clip into the final area
i remember about a week ago when i started playing, i got stuck because i couldn’t open the gate because i didn’t know you pull up then right 😂
Fun fact: This is already heavily outdated. The current WR stands at 3:40 IGT.
Is this speezy's run glitchless, though? The 3:40 is with glitches. A locker clip, I believe?
hespeed ran it before i knew it was out
