somebody beats one of Karl's longest-standing records, and how does Karl get back at him? by doing a full video praising the dude's career and technique. what a proper gent.
Imagine a 10 years old kid telling the big guys a 24 is possible. Probably most of them laughing at him. 16 years later he does it HIMSELF. ABSOLUTE LEGEND!
@Rusty Shackleford you still did something that several 10.000's of people talk about for a long time. if youre into those speedrunning communities, this isnt something that ppl forget. its still impressive
Wade I in no way intend to downplay Karl, but you should consider checking out Summoning Salt. He produces equally as polished speedrunning content that would be a shame to miss out on
Karl is the real absolute legend here, the longest standing record which he owned (and hardly mentions) is beaten and he creates an entire video around the subject and praising the guy who beat him. Thank you very much for this video Karl, can't wait to see more content from you!
This man is one of the most chill people, despite his record standing great for long getting destroyed by another person, he doesn't do anything bad but rather doing a full video just to congratulate him. Absolute legend
i dont think in the speedrun comunity is much salt tbh the mentality is totaly difrent ^^ salty people dont spend years and years trying to squeeze out an extra second in an old game :) tho i would never do that myself i find it cool that they do it so we can look at the end result
Karl is such a great guy.Ever hardly talks about his own runs unless its to promote someone else.And thank u so much for the good message at the end during these hard times is what alot of us including myself need to hear.Thank u your the absolute legend.

How can someone's taste in videos match perfectly to mine as yours and how are you able to achieve high liked comment on every single video ??? Conspiracy: You are a RUclips bot designed to attract more people to niche as well as "mainstream" videos.
This is the most perfect instance of sportsmanship I've seen. Losing your record, you make a video praising your rival and helping everyone appreciate what they did. Bravo!
I'm helping to support this channel now with a monthly pledge. Keep up the great work, Karl! Even when I don't know or haven't played the game being highlighted your thoroughness helps to piece it all together.
In a lot of speedrunning communities, it's not really about being the best. Breaking records is a collective effort, people help each other out and when a record is beaten like this, it's not that one speedrunner has beaten everyone else, it's the community that has beaten the game just a little bit harder.
"People weren't even close to 24, throwing in 2-3 more boosts wasn't seen as something that would tip the scale..." 15 years later guy throws in that 3 more boosts and breaks the world record.
Karl is a humble dude, but that statement wasn't him being humble. He was stating a fact. Rayan is legitimately the most talented and skilled Goldeneye/Perfect Dark speedrunner ever. That's at the very least. He very well might be the most talented speedrunner, period. Of any game.
Cartel Jameson I completely agree, but I still think he’s selling himself short, but you are right, Karl is always humble and places other speed runners at the forefront of his videos. That being said, holding on a record for 16 years should be celebrated. 😊
I'm aware of how old this comment is haha, but I think he didn't mean that he wasn't (just as) good. I think he meant literally 'talented'. As in, Rayan was 10 years old, while Karl was already older -- being at the same skill level, whilst likely having practiced less, is 'talent'. A doctor isn't 'talented' at curing people, as it's obtained through work & practice. It's semantics, granted -- but in this specific context it's a big difference.
I wish someone recorded Matt's reaction to Rayan's introduction video, I bet it was priceless! Just imagine, Rayan looks dead at the camera and blurts out "Take that, Matt!", he must have flipped!
I have never played Perfect Dark, my brother told me I was to young, but have seen it beaten countless times. Your channel reignited my passion for GE and PD, I can't get enough of these lore speed running vidoeos. Thanks for all this great content during these weird times! Keep up the great work please!
@@DanMcLeodNeptuneUK I have an emulator but it's not quite the same, and I'm really not that good at shooters. I've been getting through Doom Eternal one level at a time lol. Definitely have to get me N64 at some point though.
I've become addicted to your videos! There's something about the meticulousness of both your videos and speedrunning itself which is very facinating. Also the fact that a kid at 10 years old and someone well into their 60's can be competitive at a high level is partly reminiscent to chess (and a big reason for why I love it).
I love waking up and seeing you or whitegoose's videos in my sub box. Makes mornings so much more relaxed and enjoyable. Thanks again for your hard work.
It's amazing to see how people stick with their games for such a long time always trying to best the records. The fact that speedrunners after all these years still manage to find new ways of improving these supposedly "unbeatable" times which ends in more people trying to at least tie it and thus keeping the game alive longer is just great. And Rayan in particular is truly elite. And Karl you are a legend; I love these history of a specific run videos a lot.
Love the videos so much. I don't play the games anymore, but I know enough about them to understand everything he's saying, and to appreciate the sheer skill and time necessary to do these runs. His humility is also so damn awesome. He loves the games so much, and gives the players and runs the same attention, even when it's his own record being broken. Keep being awesome you absolute legend!
Perfect Dark's biggest downfall was that it was released at the end of the N64's lifespan and the PS2, XBos and Gamecube were all on the horizon. It was a great game...not as memorable as Goldeneye IMO, but still a fantastic spiritual sequel. My friends and I played the hell out of Goldeneye, and I suspect we would have transitioned to Perfect Dark had it come out a year earlier than it did. I bought it the day after my grandma's funeral and one of my friends came over to play it...he moved to LA a week later. All my friends were graduating college and moving on when PD came out, so we never played it. The core group of friends that I had all through high school and college had splintered, and video gaming, for me, has never been the same. The N64 is the console I'm most nostalgic for because I have such fond memories playing Mario Kart, Mario Part and Goldeneye with the friends I'd had for most of my life up to that point...I don't get the same enjoyment out of playing games online as I did back in the late 90's playing 4 players with everyone in the same room. Them's were the days.
I find it kind of funny that I've never played Perfect Dark and barely played Golden Eye at all as a kid but I've watched dozens and dozens of speed running videos about both games. I have hardcore inside knowledge about Perfect Dark and I've literally never played it haha
Karl I have added your channel to auto upload every new video to my discord, not sure how I even got into your content , I dont even speedrun or own a console but have played them all in the past, being 40 yrs old, you sir are an ABSOLUUTE LEGEND.
The beat sounds exactly like Six Underground, which coincidentally borrowed a different part of its song from Goldfinger. I always thought that was a cool connection from Spy movie to unrelated song back to Spy game.
This legendary game... still haven't unlocked all cheats till today. But i come back to revisit it every few years. You allways find something new, try to find something about the "?-signs" or the hidden ammunition crates in combat simulator. It just never gets old, especially when i see the interest in speedruning here. You guys are great, keeping this masterpiece alive!
Mr Karl, I'd like to address you personally. Somewhere, I've found you in the algorithm's constant churning, but I really like your content. I hope that you make more, as speedrunning is perhaps the most entertaining form of this form of entertainment. Thank you.
And once again the old speedrunning adage "no record stand forever" shows its face.. Also, damn he barely talk about the record. Being the one who held the oldest unbeaten record is an impressive feat, hell if I were in his position I'd write "PERFECT DARK GOD" as my middle name and tell everyone I know about it.. But not Karl, not him...
Man, in a more perfect world someone like Rayan would be famous or at least mega-rich. Anyone who can achieve something like this at 10, and still be blowing minds all these years later, is someone who deserves the very best. Thanks for sharing this crazy, awesome story with us Karl, and in such an accessible and professional style.
I was a kid when I played this game many years ago, couldn't finish it, but it always stuck with me. Now with these videos I feel such nostalgia and nerdyness, I love your videos Karl, never stop doing them.
As someone out of the loop on GE/PD speedrunning Karl entered my awareness as just a guy loving speedrunning and explaining the records that have happened but especially these past two videos have shown so much of how incredibly talented Karl has been for close to two decades without boasting about it or even mentioning the fact that one of the GoldenEye examples was his. Karl is talented, Karl is humble and Karl is an absolute legend!
I love these videos. I Have never played these games or sped run any game. His explanations make it feel like I’ve been keeping up with a 15-20 year old game’s tight knit community of speed running since it came out.
The only thing I could see possibly being improved is that when he killed the Skedar he got hit by the explosion. Not sure if it would save enough time to drop to 23, but it's something.
@@karljobst I am not a speedrunner, but I absolutely love your videos. It is so crazy to think that .05 could have been the difference of tying or beating the record. Speedrunning is intense. I wish I had half the determination as you guys.
I was browsing around on youtube and I found your channel. I binge watched your videos and I love them! Your explanation about the game and the speedrun community is so clear with some runs shown. Keep up the good work!
10:29 Woah woah woah, ParagonX9? That old Newgrounds audio artist? I didn't know they did PerfectDark speedruns, that's kinda cool if it's the same person
All of that looking at the ground reminds me of playing Golden Eye on split screen with 3 of my friends way back when. Since they could see my screen and where I was I would always run around the level looking at the ground. I would know where they were and where I was, but they didn't have a clue until they were dead on the ground. Brings a smile to my face. Nice video by the way, can't believe I watched the whole thing. I kinda miss that game but I still have Perfect Dark Zero.
That has to be one of the best, if not the best video in your channel now. Loved so much how you kept mentioning your last video (Runaway 21) back. Amazing! Keep up the good work, Karl!
Every time I watch this, I can’t help but love the Karl is skeptical but very supportive. While most, (me included), would DEMAND proof or take further actions, Karl just goes ‘awesome’. You have to love this guy
Dang, i had no idea how young Ace was. I've seen a number of their record videos over the years, and i remember them being a big inspiration in my own speedrun attempts on PD. Even more amazing now knowing that. Keep up the good work ace.
I herd some ppl talking about rayan Jatan in my school and one of them send the hate that guy cuz he is Muslim and I’m like wtf man he is one of the best speedrunnrs out there
I really appreciate these videos. I've never played any of the games you've mentioned but still find them informative and professional. Instead of ramblings and adds every 2-e minutes.
ParagonX9 was my hero in terms of PD running when I was in highschool (2001 I think?). The only times I ever came close to being good was Duel (Obv), War and Chicago Agent. It's so cool to see you making these videos and it brings back a lot of good memories.

This legendary game... still haven't unlocked all cheats till today. But i come back to revisit it every few years. You allways find something new, try to find something about the "?-signs" or the hidden ammunition crates in combat simulator. It just never gets old, especially when i see the interest in speedruning here. You guys are great, keeping this masterpiece alive!
Some of the oldest record Man ur way too humble
Mr Karl, I'd like to address you personally. Somewhere, I've found you in the algorithm's constant churning, but I really like your content. I hope that you make more, as speedrunning is perhaps the most entertaining form of this form of entertainment. Thank you.
Speed running annnnd juggling? I didn’t know this was a man of class.
Rayan is not only crushing Goldeneye but this game as well? Wow. Now *that* is an absolute legend.
That :24 was absolutely insane. The movement was fucking crazy
You and Goose have played such a major role in firing up the community once again. Happy to see more amazing runs.
And once again the old speedrunning adage "no record stand forever" shows its face..
Also, damn he barely talk about the record. Being the one who held the oldest unbeaten record is an impressive feat, hell if I were in his position I'd write "PERFECT DARK GOD" as my middle name and tell everyone I know about it..
But not Karl, not him...
He has like 20 of them :(
Man, in a more perfect world someone like Rayan would be famous or at least mega-rich. Anyone who can achieve something like this at 10, and still be blowing minds all these years later, is someone who deserves the very best.
Thanks for sharing this crazy, awesome story with us Karl, and in such an accessible and professional style.
It blows my mind that this is still happening.
At 7:15, you see that “CH”? That’s me 😎
Sw1z
No, lol its obviously me lel, give proof
I was a kid when I played this game many years ago, couldn't finish it, but it always stuck with me. Now with these videos I feel such nostalgia and nerdyness, I love your videos Karl, never stop doing them.
As someone out of the loop on GE/PD speedrunning Karl entered my awareness as just a guy loving speedrunning and explaining the records that have happened but especially these past two videos have shown so much of how incredibly talented Karl has been for close to two decades without boasting about it or even mentioning the fact that one of the GoldenEye examples was his. Karl is talented, Karl is humble and Karl is an absolute legend!
You should check out RWhiteGoose. Hes good some good Golden eye videos that feature Karl a lot
Karl, these videos are fantastic historical background, much of which I was unaware of or had forgotten. Thank you for making them.
"This run..." Chills everytime
I love these videos. I Have never played these games or sped run any game. His explanations make it feel like I’ve been keeping up with a 15-20 year old game’s tight knit community of speed running since it came out.
The only thing I could see possibly being improved is that when he killed the Skedar he got hit by the explosion. Not sure if it would save enough time to drop to 23, but it's something.
Probably lost 0.05 to 0.1
@@karljobst so yeah, probably not enough to get to 23. Thanks for responding, great vid as always!
@@karljobst I am not a speedrunner, but I absolutely love your videos. It is so crazy to think that .05 could have been the difference of tying or beating the record. Speedrunning is intense.
I wish I had half the determination as you guys.
I was browsing around on youtube and I found your channel. I binge watched your videos and I love them! Your explanation about the game and the speedrun community is so clear with some runs shown. Keep up the good work!
me: *opens video*
Karl: "Hello you ABSOLUTE LEGENDS"
me: *closes video*
Nice. Im amazed by how much you know about those speedruns and watching the contextualization is always fun. Keep the videos coming karl!
coronavirus give to the speedrunner comunity a lot of free time xD
The only reason I'm not skipping over the sponsorship is because of your amazing juggling skills. You go Karl!
Imagine this record being beaten yesterday, so every viewer of the run or this video thinks it is for april fools🤣😂
Nice new vid! Always liked how in depth you explain all the strats, and how well researched the videos are.
Keep up the good work!

Woah woah woah, ParagonX9? That old Newgrounds audio artist? I didn't know they did PerfectDark speedruns, that's kinda cool if it's the same person
All of that looking at the ground reminds me of playing Golden Eye on split screen with 3 of my friends way back when. Since they could see my screen and where I was I would always run around the level looking at the ground. I would know where they were and where I was, but they didn't have a clue until they were dead on the ground. Brings a smile to my face.
Nice video by the way, can't believe I watched the whole thing. I kinda miss that game but I still have Perfect Dark Zero.
24:20 When people beat entire Super Mario games blindfolded, completing a 24 second run while looking down doesn‘t seem that tough in comparison.
That has to be one of the best, if not the best video in your channel now. Loved so much how you kept mentioning your last video (Runaway 21) back. Amazing! Keep up the good work, Karl!
Oh yeah, you absolute L E G E N D
When a world record is older than your friend
When the world record is older than your underage girlfriend
Wait until it becomes 16 yo then beat it you legend
@@bagazheful 16 is still underage in a lot of countries
Can’t wait for the year 2100AD where our cybernetically enhanced descendants argue about wether or not 0:22 is possible
Bruh you actually said "popped his world record cherry" 😂😂😂😂 (18:04)
Every time I watch this, I can’t help but love the Karl is skeptical but very supportive. While most, (me included), would DEMAND proof or take further actions, Karl just goes ‘awesome’. You have to love this guy
You're like the kliksphilip of speedrunning xD
The time was so tight, so precise, so simple, so short.. so Shoneys..
“I can’t believe this happened”
What I said when I saw Karl upload!
You make literally the best content on youtube. Period. Your content is so enjoyable to watch. Keep up the great work!
It's so weird to hear people like Karl Jobst and Summoning Salt talk about their own records.
Yeah
Dang, i had no idea how young Ace was. I've seen a number of their record videos over the years, and i remember them being a big inspiration in my own speedrun attempts on PD. Even more amazing now knowing that. Keep up the good work ace.
I herd some ppl talking about rayan Jatan in my school and one of them send the hate that guy cuz he is Muslim and I’m like wtf man he is one of the best speedrunnrs out there
I absolutely love that you show the full runs so we can see exactly what you're talking about as you talk about it
from someone who has never been interested in speedrunning i cannot stop watching your videos they're just so intriguing. thanks for these.
I really appreciate these videos. I've never played any of the games you've mentioned but still find them informative and professional. Instead of ramblings and adds every 2-e minutes.
Prodigies are always incredible to watch. Rayan really is something else.
ParagonX9 was my hero in terms of PD running when I was in highschool (2001 I think?). The only times I ever came close to being good was Duel (Obv), War and Chicago Agent. It's so cool to see you making these videos and it brings back a lot of good memories.
