I told the glitch doctor "I want to hunt glitches too," and then the glitch doctor told me what to do. He said "ooo eee ooo aa aa, ting tang walla walla bing bang" (and then he was clipped out of bounds, running past the barriers and right into the final boss)
Maybe this video topic could be turned into a miniseries where the different Lowest Percent commentators each do different case studies on glitch hunters from their own area of expertise and could possibly be continued into games that they aren’t experts in and instead they do research into other games’ glitch hunters
glitch hunters are rad. im not a speedrunner, ive only ever spedran two games, but the only one i seriously tried runs for, i found a glitch for. it was a pretty simple glitch of doing something as a cutscene started to skip it, but it still felt crazy when i first pulled it off and it worked. i cant imagine how it must feel to mess around trying to see what happens if you do certain things and having it completely revolutionize an actual speedgame
I think this really speaks to how creation is really a collaborative thing. Virtually nothing made or done by humans was done individually. Most people have help, or built upon someone else’s work, and if somehow they avoided that, they didn’t learn everything they knew on their own.
I actually found a glitch that could be used in a speedrun for a game you may not expect: Minecraft. Specifically the New 3DS Edition. It lets you duplicate stacks of three or more items insanely fast, all while using only a furnace, anvil or villager that can be traded with. In the Any% RS category it could cut out several minutes. Just get a furnace and use three obsidian from a blacksmith chest to make a nether portal, then you can duplicate three blaze rods and three ender pearls (or just the Eyes of Ender to save even more time) so you can make it to the stronghold with no issues whatsoever. As a bonus you can duplicate diamonds if you find three or more of them, which would not only make killing the dragon easier but also makes finding them practical, since you can just make a full set of diamond for the dragon fight.
Well I found a fair few speed run skips when I was a kid,especially in mariokart 64, just by messing about with my older brother on the tracks and trying shortcuts. But we never actually realised that speedrunning actually had a community or even a leader board. We just did it for fun. The calamari desert train fence clip glitch, knew about it for years and years, recently saw it in Karl Jobst video, saying it was a new discovery. I was blown away. I may of actually had the world record and never even knew it because I assumed that the skip was known and someone else would be better than me. Makes you think.
I wonder what the split of people pronouncing with hard / soft g is. Because I’ve definitely heard it both ways, and honestly I bet on a day to day basis, the way I pronounce it is probably a coin flip. So I wonder what the split is
Actually no nvm I almost always use hard g, I think I say it with a soft g if hear someone say it like that before me in a convo or something. But still, wonder what the split is
@@BlazeBlade It's a hard G in Hyrule Warriors as well, I believe. Speaking of which, that game also confirms Fi's name is pronounced like "semper fi", not like "fee".
Thanks for correctly explaining the situation surrounding the ToT skip. Some people outside of the OoT speedrunning community tried to make out there was some kind of credit war surrounding the trick which was never the case. When it reality their was some animosity from some in the speedrunning community who were trying to make out that I kept the trick secret in bad faith. Not realising that the TASing community works differently where people prefer to see such discoveries implemented in a final run. Nowadays given both communities have more or less merged. I would have made my findings public right away.
I think it is hilarious how dramatic he made that part, like a war memorial or something. lmao they are just people that have the time to play video games all day, not modern day heroes. lololol
@@michaelpeters78 it's just a powerful example of the wisdom of the crowd phenomena. Even an example like this that pertains to something as simple and enjoyable as video games is an inspiring illustration of what people can accomplish when they all work together toward a common goal. I guess that flew over your head if you thought it was only meant to be a dramatic memorialization.
In the 90’s I loved randomly finding glitches, it was like a side quest to every game. Was huge into glitches. Eventually middle school & high school came along, and some party days after. The past year, I came back to this. Speedrunning and glitching. Missed you guys. Can’t believe how big the community is and I couldn’t be happier.
This is such a wonderful video. I can't put into words how incredibly proud I am of everyone in this community. Glitch hunting comes from a pure passion and love of what we do. The thrill of discovering something new about a game, and the excitement of sharing it with others. But what makes it so so special is the collaborations and friendships that we look back on. Those names at the end... some still active, some no longer with us. But to each and every person on that list we owe so much. There is so much history behind every single one of them, both for speedrunning as a whole and for my personal journey. These are the people who have made me who I am today and I cannot be more grateful. Thank you so much gymnast for making this amazing video
Hah, imagine thinking people speedrun games they don't like so they don't have to spend time playing the game... Speedrunning is a majestic artwork, I am consistently amazed by different games being driven to unreal extremes by dozens or hundreds of people working at their designs for thousands of hours, culminating in completion times dropping from hours to minutes.
So the real glitches were the friends we made along the way?? Lol but for real, you personally have made my gaming life so much fun. I've replayed ocarina of time and majoras mask almost constantly for n64 and 3ds for over 10 years. While I derived a lot of enjoyment from the play thrus and different ways of completing, you added so so so many new variations. I'm so incredibly grateful for all the time and work you put in. Thank you.
Hello glitches and stuff. I have a very serious question. Do you know of any place I can go to learn how to make sense of the memory viewers? I have always seen the hexadecimal many game code is written on when viewed with such programs but don't know where to start learning about how to read it. As someone who is looking into learning coding as a cyber security analyst this kind of stuff fascinates me and I would love to learn how to break a game down and really learn how to understand its mechanics and logic.
Wow, I wasn't expecting to find my name on the list at the end. As someone who loves finding new things in the games but doesn't really speedrun anything it felt so nice to be included in that group of people. Thank you Gymnast!
@@rozygcf6611 Apparently my first reply got deleted, I'll try reposting it. I hope it's not because of the length (TLDR at the bottom). When I first played Ocarina of Time 3D, I really liked all the secrets that were hidden in the game by the developers. At some point, while searching on the Internet for more of these secrets, I found some references to simple glitches like the bottle duplication: at first I was a bit scared of bugging the game on purpose, but then I started loving all the different things you can do with glitches in OoT3D, and I began learning more about them and why they work (mainly from the ZeldaSpeedRuns and ZeldaChaos websites). To me they were like "extended secrets" that not even the devs knew about. After a while I ended up finding my first undiscovered glitch, the Big Poe duplication, and from there I continued doing glitch-hunting for new exploits. The way I do it is mainly just putting together known glitches or trying them out in unusual situations, and I also like to figure out as much as I can about what happens inside the game during those glitches. For example, for that first one, I knew about another glitch called YBA, which makes the game write a value to the wrong place in the memory. People were using it mainly to get ammunition out of thin air, because one of the places you can write to is ammo counts. What I realized is that if the game is writing to the wrong place, that also means it is NOT writing to the intended place, which will then retain the previous value. After ironing out some other details, I found the correct inputs that let you sell a Big Poe and make the game not update the correct inventory slot, effectively keeping the Big Poe in the menu and duplicating it. TLDR: I like finding hidden secrets in video games, and exploitable glitches are like secrets that the game designers didn't intentionally put in :)
so glitch hunting is like the scientific breakthroughs, huh? At the end, everything we take for granted has been studied and discovered by thousands of other people, each relying on the knowledge of the previous one.
This. The average person may know that Isaac Newton discovered gravity, but fail to understand the thousands of people who laid the groundwork for that to be possible.
@@FallenAngelVeox I think Isaac Newton maybe is a bad example, he is like the super father of physics, and his bases are like super insignificant (I mean, probably he only worked with the knowledge that things fall down), to the point that neither you nor I know them. But the evolution of atomic model is the perfect example
@@lenira7750 Newton and Einstein are like the only two examples where this doesn’t really apply. Einstein basically came up with relativity almost out of nowhere, didn’t even cite any other papers in the famous paper setting out special relativity, and while his work ended up explaining a lot of other physics that had confused other scientists up to that point, it did so by basically just working backwards from the principle that the speed of light is constant no matter what your frame of reference is. Newton basically just did everything. While he actually developed calculus independently at the exact same time as Leibniz, he’s also responsible for basically inventing physics, coming up with the laws of motion, confirming the exact shape of the Earth, figuring out that gravity affected the movement of planets...and then exactly how it did so, got angry that existing telescopes didn’t focus colors properly so he figured out how to make a better one, ground his own lenses for it, and then built it himself (and his design essentially forms the basis for most modern telescopes), in the process he also happened to prove that white light was composed of the spectrum of colors combined together and invented the field of optics to study that sort of thing because why not, figured out a law of cooling, and was the first to calculate the approximate speed of sound. Oh and in his spare time he briefly served in Parliament and also basically ran the Royal Mint for almost thirty years. Newton was legitimately bonkers.
I did not expect to see my name to pop up at the end, but seeing it appear there was the most amazing feeling. I had no idea it would feel this good to get recognized for the effort put in. Thanks for an amazing video, and thanks to all the glitch hunters out there!
It's also worth mentioning that a lot of the attitude of glitch-hunting has its roots in videogame Quality Assurance (also known as bugtesting). In QA, you are expected and encouraged to try and break whatever game you're working on. Yes, you're expected to play the game as intended, and make sure everything works as intended. But you're also expected to poke and prod every corner of the game, to make sure nothing was overlooked. To make sure there aren't areas of a level with no collision, for example. Or to make sure that a certain combination of behaviours doesn't cause the game to come apart at the seams. A good QA tester needs the mindset of a scientist. You poke and prod a game's systems, until you notice something unusual occurring (a glitch). Then you try to replicate the unusual behaviour. Then you test every permutation of the initial conditions, to see where and when the unusual behaviour occurs. By doing this, you can start to pinpoint what the actual cause of the behaviour is. The difference between a QA tester and a speedrunner, is that the tester is trying to pinpoint the fault so it can fixed by the developers. Speedrunners, meanwhile, are trying to pinpoint the fault to help them understand the underlying logic of how the game works. Because that knowledge can help them predict where else the glitch might occur in the game, allowing a glitch found in one part of the game to be exploited to greater effect elsewhere. Also, if you practise glitch-hunting (or QA) for a while, you'll start to learn which parts of games are the most fragile and prone to errors. Almost anything to do with physics modelling tends to be full of glitches, for example. Because most systems for detecting collisions between objects, and modelling momentum, are reliant on all kinds of approximations for the sake of speed and efficiency. So there are often all sorts of rare edge-cases that produce bizarre behaviour, which a speedrunner can exploit.
I love that when the devs of Celeste fixed an exploit or glitch one time that speedrunners were using a lot, and when the speedrunners were sad about it, they put it back in because it would just very rarely affect casual players. At the same time they prevented the speedrun from being split into 2 categories, one for the patched game and one for the 1.0 version. That's a mindset i would like to see more. If a glitch benefits speedrunning but is gamebreaking and "dangerous" to casual players, I'd expect the devs to fix it. But if it's so difficult to execute that you just wouldn't find it if you didn't want to intentionally break the game, why would you patch it? I mean, once the game has released and a speedrunning community has formed of course, in QA i would want devs to fix as much as they can regardless.
Yo, I was thinking this the entire time- I've never participated in the (honestly, really cool) glitch-hunting in the speedrunning community, but it seems wildly similar to playtesting, which I've had minor experience in. There's the "just play the game and have a fun time" phase, making sure that there isn't any wildly noticeable hiccups and the majority of players will have that smooth experience, and there's the REAL testing, the shit where you want to poke and prod at weird combinations... Because eventually, even the most outlandish combinations of circumstances will happen to a casual player in a regular play session. It's the little weird circumstances that let you in on oversights that can eventually break an entire game from its inside-out. Like not having a cap on backwards/negative speed. I wish I had more experience in it, that shit was wildly rewarding... though this was for games in development by passionate indie devs, I don't know if I'd have the patience or even creativity for glitchhunting in a released Nintendo title.
I've only done it informally, as part of the crowd of monkeys hammering on early access titles and the like, but yeah. that moment when you figure out how to make that annoying bug happen consistently is ludicrously satisfying, because now that you know how to *cause* it the dev team can start to solve it.
You crazy lad with your anime "power of community" stuff, you had me genuinely crying at that last part. I'm no speedrunner nor glitch hunter, I'm just a fella who really loves videogames, but that last part of the video really had the sense of community around these games hit me like a truck. This was an insanely cool video that provided excellent examples as answers to a question that many of us asked ourselves through years of watching people do the impossible to finish games as fast as possible, and I'm not sure if I'm exaggerating when I say that this video is a love letter to the gaming community as a whole. Give yourself a pat on the back, Gymnast, I believe that I'm not alone when I say that you did a really good job with this.
One sad example is the banjo kazooie gameshow skip discovery where it would be WR, but the runner didn't realize what was happening quick enough so he accidentally ran off the cliff thus ending the glitch and killing the would be WR.
That ending was incredible. Glitch hunting is one of the most unsung roles in speedrunning, so it's really cool to see a video dedicated to it with even just a fraction of the names involved.
What's really disappointing is when you find a really cool skip in a game but it's barely slower than current strat so it's not used at all this actually happened to me when I found a really cool skip in ghostrunner to unload a part of a level that you spawn into then you can just jump through some walls to the end but it was only 4 secs slower than the current strategy for the level so it's not used at all even though it would be a much easier strat to learn and execute
Honestly, props to you regardless. Like this video makes so clear, even the glitches that are no longer used are integral to building an understanding of a game and making a great run, there's a *lot* of speedrun videos that highlight glitches that didn't get used for a long time, until people realised the perfect spot for them. so hey! maybe your glitch'll be useful still!
@@flamepunk8683 Your comment got me thinking and so I went back and found a couple ways to optimize it made it way harder and ghostrunner doesn't have any TASing tools so don't know if it is any faster than the current wr strat so heres hoping it will be faster
Hhmmmm, what happens if i use a bomb to explode sending another bomb in bullet time at mach 3 precisely at link so the corner hits link carrying the momentum to link And that's how boomy zoomy was discovered
Once I broke botw by doing the “moon jump” glitch, I was just like “what would happen if I just... leave it. For like 10 minutes.” (For context, I was still in the dialogue and therefore still on the wild horse) link just flew away for a while and the camera got very high up. And bouncy. Then I got a blood moon and the cutscene went fine, but after it finished link came flying back to his starting position (he was out above the ocean outside the map) he rubbed his ragdolling body all the way over the beach and subsequently died. I actually managed it again a few weeks later, but this time the blood moon didn’t trigger and it softlocked it when I exited the dialogue. I doubt there’s any real usage for this but it was funny. I should still have the videos that I saved on my switch. And in case you don’t know about the “moon jump” glitch, Mety333 has a great video about it!
I remember when WWHD was released and everyone got disappointed to find out that the Wind Waker Dive (at the time the only known practical way of getting Superswim) had been patched... And then Item Sliding was discovered. It was only made more amazing by the fact that it was such a simple trick that it felt like it had been right in front of us the entire time.
@@anda3487 Reminds me of a funny story. So after Wind Waker HD was shown at E3 one year they demo'd it at Best Buy the next few days right? So this one dude posted on ZSR that he actually pulled off the super swim glitch in front of the person from Nintendo whose job is to guard the demo disks. Ended up crashing the game, and the Nintendo dude had to report the glitch. Everyone on the forums gave them shit for it.
In a older version of terraria mobile if you repeatedly press a item in your inventory when you have a shopkeepers menu up but you don’t sell it or equip it will crash the game -_- I LOST 20 MINS OF MY FUKIN PROGRESS
Honestly, at 13:30 I started crying. I love seeing the community show its love and support for its members, and it reminds me of how large of a community we are.
“It my name was on the end of the video, I would’ve been damn proud of myself.” That is what I thought after finishing this video, and in the future when I decide to dedicate myself to something, I’ll look forward towards getting such recognition from others. Thank you for the video
I'm personally not one who gets too sentimental about such things, but it's really crazy seeing all these names... There's about 55 or so that I recognize. There are quite a few people that I've worked together with on big projects like the Ocarina of Time Randomizer and decomp, many more who I've shared my knowledge with (or at least tried to... ZFG once said I don't speak English). A few names that I've known for over a decade (the good ol' IRC days) who I still chat with, a few that I'd forgotten about, and a name I recognize as someone who has passed on.
Yeah I was wondering how people press X and then jump in the void with frame perfect spot. Then after reloading holds a bomb and then uses a bow to shoot a wall and that arrow goes through the wall while holding zl at the same times. After pressing and then press the map to wrong warp to the final boss room.
This video really hits home as a glitch hunter. My short time of glitch hunting with skater during ledge clip discovery and also the master quest stuff was a really awesome time and proud that I was a part of it. Its so much fun trying to push a game to its limits and finding new things. i see glitch hunting as a puzzle without a reference image, you need to try different pieces, combine two or more pieces that might not work, another person might have that piece your missing, its a big community effort to glitch hunt. To everyone i've glitch hunted with, thank you and keep being awesome!
7:04 Imagine that feeling. The realization that, you not only found something, not only something big, but you found something that makes you think, on the spot, that you just "killed" the game right then and there
There's a glitch I personally discovered in Darksiders 1, which after a year or two of initially finding it, I decided to see if anyone else also found it. Turns out one person did a few years before I did and uploaded a video of it, but it didn't really have any views. I love hearing about things that two people independently discover without any knowledge of the other person or their findings, and come to the same conclusion. It's almost like in our real world history where every culture on earth just decided to let fruit rot then crush it down and they got happy juice from it, and most independent of each other (look at the Americas). Or like how Chrome in Dr. Stone, despite essentially toying around with stuff he finds around, creates primitive inventions that Senku explains were made before (and at far further technological states than where Chrome's tribe was at), and was impressed that he was able to do it without any foreknowledge of the inventions. Speedrunning history is so much fun to look at.
Ocarina of Time was my first Zelda game, and I loved it, but little kid me was terrified of a lot of the enemies and spooky music in the game. I remember going to the Temple of Time out of desperation to get through he door somehow (and because I knew it was one of the few peaceful areas in the game) and I noticed the tiny gap too. I looked up a video to see if I could get past it and tried to replicate it myself, but I only managed to fall in the void once. Haha, good times.
Very well put together video! I'm glad you ran the point home that it's a community effort to get where things are today with glitches and speedrunning. No matter how many years go by, no matter how big or small a find may be, each person has a part played in the bigger picture of the amazing achievements we see today in Speedruns.
so glad that GNS is getting the real credit he deserves. he has been the most vital part of the zelda speed running community for a long time. his glitch hunting skills has brought oot/mm speed running, not to mention so many other games, to be very optimized.
Gosh, what an amazing video, It touched me a lot to see so many names I know at the end of the video. So many people that can be active or inactive now, that I am following or have followed for so many years... Thanks for this !
That ending was very powerful, with Gym's voice, the Skyward Sword music and all the names appearing almost moving me to tears. Got serious goosebumps from that! Thank you glitch hunters, and thank you Lowest Percent!
Yes. Because I can relate to it in a way. I'm not a glitch hunter for The Legend of Zelda. I glitch in far less known games and people don't realize how much time and passion you actually put into it. The ending wasn't just intended for Zelda glitch hunters, no. It was a big "Thank you!" to everyone who has a passion for the *fourth dimension in video games* .
lmao I was looking away from my screen doing random other stuff while the names faded in one by one and then randomly looked back at 15:10 gave me a little heart attack there buddy
Nothing like being the first among millions of players to find a new glitch, technique or sequence break. Hopefully this video inspires others to start glitch hunting.
Imagine throwing a boomerang outside and then going back inside to grab something you forgot. You go back outside and then BAM! a fucking unhinged door comes flying directly at your face 😭
your ability to tell an engaging narrative, and the quality of your production are really exceptional. Being able to pull out a strong emotive thread from what could have been a more dry and technical topic is a real talent
Lowest percent is going to tease a huge video or something kind of like a season finale (but not) and we might be like "oh cool" And then home music will begin playing as some salt begins talking
Learning the DoT skip was a huge thing for me. I had played OoT for years and this glitch blew it wide open. I don't even speedrun the game - I just love glitches and sequence breaks.
I honestly keep checking back to see if you've put out more videos, I really love these. The first one I saw recently got me obsessed with speedrunning.. I always knew it was a thing but I didnt know there was so much to it, it's so interesting and fun
I think SwordlessLink blocked me on RUclips many years ago. Probably because I was a dumb kid and left dumb comments. Now I think it's funny. Anyways, I'm glad to have been witnessing everything going on in Ocarina of Time from the sidelines for many years.
I still don't quite get how a home-brew program being the reason a glitch is possible is, well allowed. It doesn't seem like a glitch that's possible unless you've actually modded the game.
What it did was it showed that there was the ability to create a glitch. What this one did was it revealed that there was a glitch that exists in regular playthroughs. The thing is, home-brew programs may simply make something simpler or easier to do. It doesn't mean something can't be possible in a regular game, so it can actually highlight possible glitches.
Shoutouts to Kincaid for being the #1 Links Awakening Switch glitchunter. He's not mentioned at the end, but the dude has practically found like half the glitches in the game on his own, and has never done a speedrun of the game. All he cares about is finding glitches for the rest of us and breaking the game. Cool dude.
The sequence with the names popping in is freaking beautiful Who could've known that, what's basically a PowerPoint slide, can be executed so perfectly to induce tears when there's one obvious place for a name to go, somewhere completely outside of the established area of the screen a new name pops up and many more follow quickly after *chef's kiss
I have discovered (and recovered via old videos) several glitches in Mirror's Edge (mobile). One of them is essentially a skip of a whole level due to an unintended route directly from start to end. the next one warps you to the next checkpoint (yes, next. not previous one...). And the final one allows you to get warped through some obejcts. potentionally saving time, however the current setup is a few second slower than a different shortcut in the relevant level. But there is potential to make it much more useful. There are other quirks I have encountered in the game that could become useful for speedrunning... but I don't have a working emulator setup working just now. But the potential is there.
*"And then he said to the glitch man "i want to learn how to discover glitches", but the glitch man didn't answer, he just kept on glitching"*
DAMN that's a deep cut
I told the glitch doctor "I want to hunt glitches too," and then the glitch doctor told me what to do. He said "ooo eee ooo aa aa, ting tang walla walla bing bang" (and then he was clipped out of bounds, running past the barriers and right into the final boss)

I guess that flew over your head if you thought it was only meant to be a dramatic memorialization.

In the 90’s I loved randomly finding glitches, it was like a side quest to every game. Was huge into glitches. Eventually middle school & high school came along, and some party days after. The past year, I came back to this. Speedrunning and glitching. Missed you guys. Can’t believe how big the community is and I couldn’t be happier.
😄
Yeah
This is such a wonderful video.
I can't put into words how incredibly proud I am of everyone in this community.
Glitch hunting comes from a pure passion and love of what we do. The thrill of discovering something new about a game, and the excitement of sharing it with others. But what makes it so so special is the collaborations and friendships that we look back on.
Those names at the end... some still active, some no longer with us. But to each and every person on that list we owe so much. There is so much history behind every single one of them, both for speedrunning as a whole and for my personal journey. These are the people who have made me who I am today and I cannot be more grateful.
Thank you so much gymnast for making this amazing video
this needs more love
Hah, imagine thinking people speedrun games they don't like so they don't have to spend time playing the game...
Speedrunning is a majestic artwork, I am consistently amazed by different games being driven to unreal extremes by dozens or hundreds of people working at their designs for thousands of hours, culminating in completion times dropping from hours to minutes.
This is so beautiful
So the real glitches were the friends we made along the way??
Lol but for real, you personally have made my gaming life so much fun. I've replayed ocarina of time and majoras mask almost constantly for n64 and 3ds for over 10 years. While I derived a lot of enjoyment from the play thrus and different ways of completing, you added so so so many new variations. I'm so incredibly grateful for all the time and work you put in. Thank you.
Hello glitches and stuff. I have a very serious question. Do you know of any place I can go to learn how to make sense of the memory viewers? I have always seen the hexadecimal many game code is written on when viewed with such programs but don't know where to start learning about how to read it. As someone who is looking into learning coding as a cyber security analyst this kind of stuff fascinates me and I would love to learn how to break a game down and really learn how to understand its mechanics and logic.
Wow, I wasn't expecting to find my name on the list at the end. As someone who loves finding new things in the games but doesn't really speedrun anything it felt so nice to be included in that group of people. Thank you Gymnast!
Thank YOU! Just out of curiosity, how did you get into glitch hunting and how exactly do you do it?
@@rozygcf6611 Apparently my first reply got deleted, I'll try reposting it. I hope it's not because of the length (TLDR at the bottom).
When I first played Ocarina of Time 3D, I really liked all the secrets that were hidden in the game by the developers. At some point, while searching on the Internet for more of these secrets, I found some references to simple glitches like the bottle duplication: at first I was a bit scared of bugging the game on purpose, but then I started loving all the different things you can do with glitches in OoT3D, and I began learning more about them and why they work (mainly from the ZeldaSpeedRuns and ZeldaChaos websites). To me they were like "extended secrets" that not even the devs knew about.
After a while I ended up finding my first undiscovered glitch, the Big Poe duplication, and from there I continued doing glitch-hunting for new exploits. The way I do it is mainly just putting together known glitches or trying them out in unusual situations, and I also like to figure out as much as I can about what happens inside the game during those glitches.
For example, for that first one, I knew about another glitch called YBA, which makes the game write a value to the wrong place in the memory. People were using it mainly to get ammunition out of thin air, because one of the places you can write to is ammo counts. What I realized is that if the game is writing to the wrong place, that also means it is NOT writing to the intended place, which will then retain the previous value. After ironing out some other details, I found the correct inputs that let you sell a Big Poe and make the game not update the correct inventory slot, effectively keeping the Big Poe in the menu and duplicating it.
TLDR: I like finding hidden secrets in video games, and exploitable glitches are like secrets that the game designers didn't intentionally put in :)
nice! 😃👍👍👍👍
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
WE THANK YOU FREDDY 👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏽🙌🏽
Maybe the real glitch hunters were the friends we made along the way.
I am a glitch hunter now. I will have friends!
Well, quite literally yes. Right?
I was SO ready for this comment oh my gosh
Hunter x Hunter?
I can't even find toxic comments anymore, MUCH LOVE!!
so glitch hunting is like the scientific breakthroughs, huh? At the end, everything we take for granted has been studied and discovered by thousands of other people, each relying on the knowledge of the previous one.
This. The average person may know that Isaac Newton discovered gravity, but fail to understand the thousands of people who laid the groundwork for that to be possible.
Standing on the shoulders of giants, indeed.
@@FallenAngelVeox I think Isaac Newton maybe is a bad example, he is like the super father of physics, and his bases are like super insignificant (I mean, probably he only worked with the knowledge that things fall down), to the point that neither you nor I know them.
But the evolution of atomic model is the perfect example
@@lenira7750 Newton and Einstein are like the only two examples where this doesn’t really apply.
Einstein basically came up with relativity almost out of nowhere, didn’t even cite any other papers in the famous paper setting out special relativity, and while his work ended up explaining a lot of other physics that had confused other scientists up to that point, it did so by basically just working backwards from the principle that the speed of light is constant no matter what your frame of reference is.
Newton basically just did everything. While he actually developed calculus independently at the exact same time as Leibniz, he’s also responsible for basically inventing physics, coming up with the laws of motion, confirming the exact shape of the Earth, figuring out that gravity affected the movement of planets...and then exactly how it did so, got angry that existing telescopes didn’t focus colors properly so he figured out how to make a better one, ground his own lenses for it, and then built it himself (and his design essentially forms the basis for most modern telescopes), in the process he also happened to prove that white light was composed of the spectrum of colors combined together and invented the field of optics to study that sort of thing because why not, figured out a law of cooling, and was the first to calculate the approximate speed of sound. Oh and in his spare time he briefly served in Parliament and also basically ran the Royal Mint for almost thirty years. Newton was legitimately bonkers.
@@Nathan-kk6lb nice, guess that theres allways a first
I did not expect to see my name to pop up at the end, but seeing it appear there was the most amazing feeling.
I had no idea it would feel this good to get recognized for the effort put in. Thanks for an amazing video, and thanks to all the glitch hunters out there!
That was heartwarming to read, thank you for your work mate! :)
You totally deserve it, and thank you (and all others) for maintaining the OoT / M'sM wiki
I've been wondering about this very thing for years
Lies
Why are you every where man
Not that i am complaining though
It's also worth mentioning that a lot of the attitude of glitch-hunting has its roots in videogame Quality Assurance (also known as bugtesting). In QA, you are expected and encouraged to try and break whatever game you're working on. Yes, you're expected to play the game as intended, and make sure everything works as intended. But you're also expected to poke and prod every corner of the game, to make sure nothing was overlooked. To make sure there aren't areas of a level with no collision, for example. Or to make sure that a certain combination of behaviours doesn't cause the game to come apart at the seams.
A good QA tester needs the mindset of a scientist. You poke and prod a game's systems, until you notice something unusual occurring (a glitch). Then you try to replicate the unusual behaviour. Then you test every permutation of the initial conditions, to see where and when the unusual behaviour occurs. By doing this, you can start to pinpoint what the actual cause of the behaviour is.
The difference between a QA tester and a speedrunner, is that the tester is trying to pinpoint the fault so it can fixed by the developers. Speedrunners, meanwhile, are trying to pinpoint the fault to help them understand the underlying logic of how the game works. Because that knowledge can help them predict where else the glitch might occur in the game, allowing a glitch found in one part of the game to be exploited to greater effect elsewhere.
Also, if you practise glitch-hunting (or QA) for a while, you'll start to learn which parts of games are the most fragile and prone to errors. Almost anything to do with physics modelling tends to be full of glitches, for example. Because most systems for detecting collisions between objects, and modelling momentum, are reliant on all kinds of approximations for the sake of speed and efficiency. So there are often all sorts of rare edge-cases that produce bizarre behaviour, which a speedrunner can exploit.
I love that when the devs of Celeste fixed an exploit or glitch one time that speedrunners were using a lot, and when the speedrunners were sad about it, they put it back in because it would just very rarely affect casual players. At the same time they prevented the speedrun from being split into 2 categories, one for the patched game and one for the 1.0 version.
That's a mindset i would like to see more. If a glitch benefits speedrunning but is gamebreaking and "dangerous" to casual players, I'd expect the devs to fix it. But if it's so difficult to execute that you just wouldn't find it if you didn't want to intentionally break the game, why would you patch it? I mean, once the game has released and a speedrunning community has formed of course, in QA i would want devs to fix as much as they can regardless.
Yo, I was thinking this the entire time- I've never participated in the (honestly, really cool) glitch-hunting in the speedrunning community, but it seems wildly similar to playtesting, which I've had minor experience in.
There's the "just play the game and have a fun time" phase, making sure that there isn't any wildly noticeable hiccups and the majority of players will have that smooth experience, and there's the REAL testing, the shit where you want to poke and prod at weird combinations... Because eventually, even the most outlandish combinations of circumstances will happen to a casual player in a regular play session. It's the little weird circumstances that let you in on oversights that can eventually break an entire game from its inside-out. Like not having a cap on backwards/negative speed.
I wish I had more experience in it, that shit was wildly rewarding... though this was for games in development by passionate indie devs, I don't know if I'd have the patience or even creativity for glitchhunting in a released Nintendo title.
I've only done it informally, as part of the crowd of monkeys hammering on early access titles and the like, but yeah. that moment when you figure out how to make that annoying bug happen consistently is ludicrously satisfying, because now that you know how to *cause* it the dev team can start to solve it.
Tldr
You crazy lad with your anime "power of community" stuff, you had me genuinely crying at that last part. I'm no speedrunner nor glitch hunter, I'm just a fella who really loves videogames, but that last part of the video really had the sense of community around these games hit me like a truck. This was an insanely cool video that provided excellent examples as answers to a question that many of us asked ourselves through years of watching people do the impossible to finish games as fast as possible, and I'm not sure if I'm exaggerating when I say that this video is a love letter to the gaming community as a whole. Give yourself a pat on the back, Gymnast, I believe that I'm not alone when I say that you did a really good job with this.
Lol
Cringe
I feel the same way. I haven't watched many speedruns but, man, this channel is great.
Same dude. I just like watching speed runs but that ending got me emotional. Fantastic job on Gymnast’s execution

@Zach Watering Yea just look up JackSucksAtStuff
Just cut it up and give everyone who contributed a piece
The funniest thing is when someone accidentally discovered a big glitch during a run that ends up making it a wr.
One sad example is the banjo kazooie gameshow skip discovery where it would be WR, but the runner didn't realize what was happening quick enough so he accidentally ran off the cliff thus ending the glitch and killing the would be WR.

@@kadincool The song name is Fi's Gratitude. It's a variation of Fi's theme
Bruh, I did cry... lol
can confirm, am crying
That ending was incredible. Glitch hunting is one of the most unsung roles in speedrunning, so it's really cool to see a video dedicated to it with even just a fraction of the names involved.
we all know that it is gonna be a good video
it was a good video
@@kallistoh how’d I know I was gonna find this when I clicked on “see all comments” lol
What's really disappointing is when you find a really cool skip in a game but it's barely slower than current strat so it's not used at all this actually happened to me when I found a really cool skip in ghostrunner to unload a part of a level that you spawn into then you can just jump through some walls to the end but it was only 4 secs slower than the current strategy for the level so it's not used at all even though it would be a much easier strat to learn and execute
Ouch
Respect for you dude
Honestly, props to you regardless. Like this video makes so clear, even the glitches that are no longer used are integral to building an understanding of a game and making a great run, there's a *lot* of speedrun videos that highlight glitches that didn't get used for a long time, until people realised the perfect spot for them.
so hey! maybe your glitch'll be useful still!
@@flamepunk8683 Your comment got me thinking and so I went back and found a couple ways to optimize it made it way harder and ghostrunner doesn't have any TASing tools so don't know if it is any faster than the current wr strat so heres hoping it will be faster
@@i_fish6657 Hell yeah!! Keep at it, you can do it!
Then try that glitch on other levels where you can save time.. glitch hunting never stops.
It happens when your mind goes "Hmmmm I wonder what happens if i..." when you are playing a game
Hhmmmm, what happens if i use a bomb to explode sending another bomb in bullet time at mach 3 precisely at link so the corner hits link carrying the momentum to link
And that's how boomy zoomy was discovered
@@vangdit0668 you have the spirit
Satougashi best botw glitch hunter
Once I broke botw by doing the “moon jump” glitch, I was just like “what would happen if I just... leave it. For like 10 minutes.” (For context, I was still in the dialogue and therefore still on the wild horse) link just flew away for a while and the camera got very high up. And bouncy. Then I got a blood moon and the cutscene went fine, but after it finished link came flying back to his starting position (he was out above the ocean outside the map) he rubbed his ragdolling body all the way over the beach and subsequently died. I actually managed it again a few weeks later, but this time the blood moon didn’t trigger and it softlocked it when I exited the dialogue.
I doubt there’s any real usage for this but it was funny. I should still have the videos that I saved on my switch.
And in case you don’t know about the “moon jump” glitch, Mety333 has a great video about it!
I remember when WWHD was released and everyone got disappointed to find out that the Wind Waker Dive (at the time the only known practical way of getting Superswim) had been patched... And then Item Sliding was discovered. It was only made more amazing by the fact that it was such a simple trick that it felt like it had been right in front of us the entire time.
In the demo versions storage was not fixed, sadly the release version had it fixed
@@anda3487 Reminds me of a funny story. So after Wind Waker HD was shown at E3 one year they demo'd it at Best Buy the next few days right? So this one dude posted on ZSR that he actually pulled off the super swim glitch in front of the person from Nintendo whose job is to guard the demo disks. Ended up crashing the game, and the Nintendo dude had to report the glitch. Everyone on the forums gave them shit for it.
I clicked so fast, I traveled at least 4 parallel universe

I walked into a wall for 25 hours and jumped 8 parallel universes in preparation for this.

“It my name was on the end of the video, I would’ve been damn proud of myself.” That is what I thought after finishing this video, and in the future when I decide to dedicate myself to something, I’ll look forward towards getting such recognition from others. Thank you for the video
I'm personally not one who gets too sentimental about such things, but it's really crazy seeing all these names... There's about 55 or so that I recognize. There are quite a few people that I've worked together with on big projects like the Ocarina of Time Randomizer and decomp, many more who I've shared my knowledge with (or at least tried to... ZFG once said I don't speak English). A few names that I've known for over a decade (the good ol' IRC days) who I still chat with, a few that I'd forgotten about, and a name I recognize as someone who has passed on.
@Foxlineon I liked what you said and then I saw that you had no subscribers so I decided to go and subscribe to you
Yeah I was wondering how people press X and then jump in the void with frame perfect spot. Then after reloading holds a bomb and then uses a bow to shoot a wall and that arrow goes through the wall while holding zl at the same times. After pressing and then press the map to wrong warp to the final boss room.
This video really hits home as a glitch hunter. My short time of glitch hunting with skater during ledge clip discovery and also the master quest stuff was a really awesome time and proud that I was a part of it. Its so much fun trying to push a game to its limits and finding new things. i see glitch hunting as a puzzle without a reference image, you need to try different pieces, combine two or more pieces that might not work, another person might have that piece your missing, its a big community effort to glitch hunt.
To everyone i've glitch hunted with, thank you and keep being awesome!
Maybe the real speedrun WR is the friends we made along the way.
Looks familiar
why are there so many homestuck pfps in 2021
For a second I thought you guys forgot the password of this account
7:04 Imagine that feeling. The realization that, you not only found something, not only something big, but you found something that makes you think, on the spot, that you just "killed" the game right then and there
There's a glitch I personally discovered in Darksiders 1, which after a year or two of initially finding it, I decided to see if anyone else also found it. Turns out one person did a few years before I did and uploaded a video of it, but it didn't really have any views. I love hearing about things that two people independently discover without any knowledge of the other person or their findings, and come to the same conclusion. It's almost like in our real world history where every culture on earth just decided to let fruit rot then crush it down and they got happy juice from it, and most independent of each other (look at the Americas). Or like how Chrome in Dr. Stone, despite essentially toying around with stuff he finds around, creates primitive inventions that Senku explains were made before (and at far further technological states than where Chrome's tribe was at), and was impressed that he was able to do it without any foreknowledge of the inventions. Speedrunning history is so much fun to look at.
Ive definetly had this experience in games i cant put my finger on it theres always one example that stands out
Ocarina of Time was my first Zelda game, and I loved it, but little kid me was terrified of a lot of the enemies and spooky music in the game. I remember going to the Temple of Time out of desperation to get through he door somehow (and because I knew it was one of the few peaceful areas in the game) and I noticed the tiny gap too. I looked up a video to see if I could get past it and tried to replicate it myself, but I only managed to fall in the void once. Haha, good times.
Finally I would get confused how someone would figure out how to do a glitch
I love seeing all the recognition at the end. Thank you so much for recognizing such an amazing group of people!
The intersection between speed running and computer science is fascinating
Finally, someone who will answer the question I've been asking for YEARS
11:34, Take a shot everytime he says "Time"
Very well put together video! I'm glad you ran the point home that it's a community effort to get where things are today with glitches and speedrunning. No matter how many years go by, no matter how big or small a find may be, each person has a part played in the bigger picture of the amazing achievements we see today in Speedruns.
so glad that GNS is getting the real credit he deserves. he has been the most vital part of the zelda speed running community for a long time. his glitch hunting skills has brought oot/mm speed running, not to mention so many other games, to be very optimized.
Gosh, what an amazing video,
It touched me a lot to see so many names I know at the end of the video.
So many people that can be active or inactive now, that I am following or have followed for so many years...
Thanks for this !
If it’s a sonic 06 speedrun, then everybody found the glitch
That ending was very powerful, with Gym's voice, the Skyward Sword music and all the names appearing almost moving me to tears. Got serious goosebumps from that! Thank you glitch hunters, and thank you Lowest Percent!
The ending giving feels to anyone?
Yes.
Because I can relate to it in a way. I'm not a glitch hunter for The Legend of Zelda. I glitch in far less known games and people don't realize how much time and passion you actually put into it. The ending wasn't just intended for Zelda glitch hunters, no. It was a big "Thank you!" to everyone who has a passion for the *fourth dimension in video games* .
cool video but in the end the video tried to make look as if speedrunning is something important to the world lol
Every single speedrun stands on the shoulders of legends.
Not sure if you guys will read this but an awesome video idea would be if speedrunning pays (like being a viable job, etc.)
glitch hunters sound like some mythical legends from ancient time
they changed the world as we know it

Can't believe controller drift caused one of the biggest discoveries in zelda speedrunning
Bro LETS FUCKING GO I've been waiting for your new vid for a month. King of speed running content.
Nothing like being the first among millions of players to find a new glitch, technique or sequence break. Hopefully this video inspires others to start glitch hunting.
Man gymnast has been the MVP of Lowest Percent so far. Keep it up!

Glad to see u guys are back, love your channel!
your ability to tell an engaging narrative, and the quality of your production are really exceptional. Being able to pull out a strong emotive thread from what could have been a more dry and technical topic is a real talent
Lowest percent is going to tease a huge video or something kind of like a season finale (but not) and we might be like "oh cool"

I'd like to know this too
It's Fi's Farewell or Fi's Gratitude from Skyward Sword
Learning the DoT skip was a huge thing for me. I had played OoT for years and this glitch blew it wide open. I don't even speedrun the game - I just love glitches and sequence breaks.
I honestly keep checking back to see if you've put out more videos, I really love these. The first one I saw recently got me obsessed with speedrunning.. I always knew it was a thing but I didnt know there was so much to it, it's so interesting and fun
14:35 very wholesome but sexyzora19 made me burst out laughing
*susslord*
6:40 Joycon drift is a real problem, Nintendo.
I think SwordlessLink blocked me on RUclips many years ago. Probably because I was a dumb kid and left dumb comments. Now I think it's funny. Anyways, I'm glad to have been witnessing everything going on in Ocarina of Time from the sidelines for many years.
I don't know how this got so wholesome at the end or why I'm crying
I still don't quite get how a home-brew program being the reason a glitch is possible is, well allowed. It doesn't seem like a glitch that's possible unless you've actually modded the game.
What it did was it showed that there was the ability to create a glitch. What this one did was it revealed that there was a glitch that exists in regular playthroughs.
The thing is, home-brew programs may simply make something simpler or easier to do. It doesn't mean something can't be possible in a regular game, so it can actually highlight possible glitches.
“Jerudo”
“Jlitches”
Shoutouts to Kincaid for being the #1 Links Awakening Switch glitchunter. He's not mentioned at the end, but the dude has practically found like half the glitches in the game on his own, and has never done a speedrun of the game. All he cares about is finding glitches for the rest of us and breaking the game. Cool dude.
The sequence with the names popping in is freaking beautiful
Who could've known that, what's basically a PowerPoint slide, can be executed so perfectly to induce tears
when there's one obvious place for a name to go, somewhere completely outside of the established area of the screen a new name pops up and many more follow quickly after

What’s that outro song? I feel like I recognize it, but I can’t quite put my finger on it.
I'm wondering the same thing! It has an elder scrolls vibe to it, but I'm not sure
Very effective "heavily simplified) memory. I wish the diagrams I made for reports at work would be so clear.
Insanely interesting! I feel like glitch hunters are so unsung especially as videos and streams are making the runners ever more popular!
I have discovered (and recovered via old videos) several glitches in Mirror's Edge (mobile). One of them is essentially a skip of a whole level due to an unintended route directly from start to end.
the next one warps you to the next checkpoint (yes, next. not previous one...). And the final one allows you to get warped through some obejcts. potentionally saving time, however the current setup is a few second slower than a different shortcut in the relevant level. But there is potential to make it much more useful.
There are other quirks I have encountered in the game that could become useful for speedrunning... but I don't have a working emulator setup working just now. But the potential is there.
