Finals are finally over so I should be a lot more consistent with uploads. Spyro Ripto's Rage speedruns will be starting up soon and I'll be streaming on RUclips! Hope you all enjoy :)
yes$sss$ssssssssss
wwere is larry jr from SMB?
why you leaving twitch
I'll be streaming on RUclips and Twitch at the same time. I think RUclips is a better livestreaming platform for me personally since my audience is already on here.
Please change the title. It's not luck it's RNG. The difference is luck is purely arbitrary where as RNG is fake arbitrary.
"I know a lot of you expected Mario party to be on this list"
Well it is in the thumbnail
You should do a "Top ten hardest tricks commonly used in speedruns"
victikirby15 || I agree
Yeah would like to see that too. Also a top 10 most spectacular glitches in speedrunning would be cool.
victikirby15 GTA San Andreas Any% duping has to be there
victikirby15 definitely

and attempting to do so will blow up the bed, dealing damage to the dragon"
GOD BLESS VIDEO GAMES!
Travis Touchdown i know this is minecraft just from reading this.
minecaft is such a classic game
@stinky steve "it's comeback" is short for "it is comeback" which makes no sense
you should write "its comeback"

Forbidden Memories changes a man... I duelled a guy over 300 times to get a single card...
I dueled Jono 2 like 500 times to get the red eyes b dragon, good times
:)
Well, if you think about it, all attacks in game are ohks
😂😂😂😂
300 haha I oughta get out my old mem card to.compare because.that seems low. My brother and I spent years playing everyday and still never got metalzoa
I was hoping you'd put Yugioh: FM 100% here. Record is currently 98h... 2nd place is over 170 hours. That should tell you how much RNG is in the speedrun.
I seriously wonder how one can speedrun that! I reckon it's not done in one standing, is it? 170 hours is 7 days!!!
Samuel Labrecque im sure they took breaks to sleep eat and get some movement
I remember a race of this, where the counter keeps going while sleeping/having a break. I don't know if the WR is segmented, though I couldn't imagine it being in one sitting either.
I can't imagine how that's fun or entertaining to anyone
that's pretty retarded to try and run a video game like that
*I LOST THE RUN TO RNG!*
*WHAT?*

Im not at all involved in the speedrun community but i love getting a glimpse of it in your videos! Very well explained so even a newbie like me understands. Keep up the good work!
If I were a game dev that didn't like speedrunning, I would probably go out of my way to add a number of things that had a 1/10,000 chance of happening that would say, skip a couple minute cutscene or allow the player to get past an area before they're supposed to, without leaving a way to manipulate the RNG or work around it.
...knowing the community though, they'd probably still try.
i'd probably put in some super cancerous intentional speed tech.
MewtwoStruckBack Chill, satan!
If I wanted to mess with speedrunners, I'd make one of the easiest bosses have an unskippable death cutscene that takes several minutes to finish if the player beats them in less than five minutes.
I don't think there would even be a community.
that would piss off normal players too.
98 HOURS OF YU-GI-OH????
"Top Ten Speed Runs I Could Possible be Good At"
I'm not even really into the speedrun community but your videos make me SO interested! (:
They're incredibly well done and give enough info so that even an uneducated person like me can understand. You're opening me up to an incredible community within the video game world!! Keep it up (:
I would also say Forbidden memories any% is also a good contender for RNG heavy, due to the fact that the final 6 can end your run at any moment, and that even if you have a deck built for endgame, it can still fail at anytime, due to the AI deciding it wants you to lose.
pigfish99 not anymore though. Card manipulation was found
really? Dang. That will help a lot. I've played the game (casually, didn't beat it), but it goes against a lot of rules in the TCG, due to it being before the TCG.
not to mention doing TECs for stuff, trying to get thunders and dragons to at least make semi decent cards, and such.
No shit it goes against TCG rules. It was transitioning from the manga.
You think you're hot shit for knowing the term TCG?
i remember grinding cards like... 200 hours ingame (with no real strategy, just getting S Ranks) and the final 6 are a true pain in the ass.
Swiping my best Attack Card to anihilation or just smash the board with a 5500 Attack Dragon 2 turns in a row is not winnable. due to the fact that sometimes even the second guy was killing me with a deck, that could beat the last. Who playtested this?
also, it's an absurdly low chance, but some of the endgame enemies can just straight-up exodia you.
Top Ten Most Broken Speedruns
Runs so glitchy that most of the game is skipped via glitches
My personal favorite game, Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga, has a glitch called Barrel Storage. You trick the game into thinking Luigi is in a barrel when he isnt, and, well... The game gets absolutely destroyed.
Skarmory Inc. Productions Undertale would definitely be on there, with the Punch Card Exploit.
MannyIsAwesome1 What's the punch card exploit?
House of Caravan
Skarmory Inc. Productions Skarmory Inc. Productions I think that on the same exact frame that certain events take place, particularly ones where you cannot move due to text boxes or cutscenes, you need to pause. While paused, you need to use the Punch Card, and it'll allow you to walk away from whatever is going on.
Literally all of Mettaton's scenes (with the exception of MAYBE one part) is skipped, for example.
Big Wazowski Super Mario Bros. 3 and (I believe) Pokemon Yellow also apply to that.
Mario Party is notorious for ruining friendships
Zak Mcallister also mariokart
"Why do you hate Steve so much? You used the be good friends"
"That fucker hit me with a blue shell when I was at the finish line. I will never forgive him."
Zyzzx223 so true tho
Giantbomb comes to mind
Zak Mcallister that star/coin swap is fucking bullshit.
Pretty nice! Thanks for uploading, & it's interesting looking into the nature of some of these runs & how runners cope with their challenges!
Very well researched and informative. Thanks for the shoutout in the description :)
Pokemon Mystery dungeon, as a series, also can be pretty RNG reliant. It's a randomly generated dungeon crawler sort of game, and i'd imagine it cant be easy to beat a lot of the bosses as well if you're trying to speedrun (which means your team will be a rather low level)
I think Clue was released in 1998, not 1988. I got this game in a package of cereal which was around the same time that Where in Time is Carmen San Diego? was released. That an Amazon Trail 3.
Yeah, it releasing in 1988 would put it only 3 Years after Super Mario Bros. on the NES, and this game had pretty good CGI 3D Graphics, so, yeah, I think you're right.
love your channel!!
fuck yeah new ezscape upload!
really i would never be able to speedrun because of physical issues but this is such an incredible community and speedruns are so interesting to me, thank you for uploading thse mate
0:20 Why is he kissing my boy link?
Clue Speedruns be like:
Speedrunner: “It was *them.* “
Killer: “(Gasp) How did you know?!”
Speedrunner: “I didn’t! That was a joke too.”
I find it more helpful when you explain the run and tactics. keep it up man
Hey EZScape, I'm the developer of Super Sanic Turbo Gun Adventure 2: Turbo which was featured in the top 20 shortest speedruns. My friends linked me that video because my game was in it, and now I watch your channel regularly. You have amazing content, keep up the good shit man!
I have embraced the love for speed runs. I use to look at speed runs as kinda stupid. I enjoy playing slow and enjoying the story if it has one. I just sit back and enjoy the game. I am starting to see what is interesting about speed runs. People become so good and it's just competitive. People love competing to be the best in something. It's a whole new thing putting skill and luck to the test. I could never actually speed run a game because there is so much stuff to remember, like how to do some glitches, and where to go.
great video, it's always nice to see a video from you
''SUB 100 HR YUGIOH RUN IM A GOD''-Those runners probably
Like wtf thats insane XD
In Mario Party 6 solo mode, you can speak a number into the microphone and there's a high chance you will get it on the dice. Wasn't this technique allowed there?
MP6 no mic runs are the main category, so it wasn't used in this one.
weeeekt wait other people used the microphone? I always pictured it as some obscure peripheral.
weeeekt What the actual fuck? Is that real?
I mean, Isn't it something like "Hold down + B when throwing a pokeball" kind of thing?
Creepypato Yes, except the spoken dice roll in Marioparty actually affects the game while the B button trick in Pokemon has no actual effect.
Serrara Fluttershy Wow, that's actually impressive.
Thanks so much for including Dragon Quest Monsters (AKA, Dragon Warrior Monsters: Terry's Wonderland)
Here's what you missed out on explaining by the way. The early DQ Monster games had a stat called WLD (Wild) to give you a measure of how likely the monster will ignore you and completely waste a turn. Recruiting new monsters means their WLD stat is really high. You can either run with it and hope it doesn't ignore you too often, or feed it tons of meat (you won't have the money in a speedrun to buy lots of meat and meat drops on the map are once again RNG). The alternative is to breed that monster with another monster to get an even more powerful monster, but again it's a time loss because they're hatched at level 1 and there's not many good level grinding locations in the main story.
I used to speedrun Dragon Warrior Monsters 2, which is a lot more reliable to speedrun than the first game.
The difference between a WR run and a regular speedrun can differ by minutes however. Aside from recruiting more powerful monsters, the story REQUIRES recruiting certain kinds of monsters in order to advance the plot.
Another great video, keep up the content bro.
That's some good content keep up the good work !
RNGesus can be cruel.
CaTastrophy427 It's why I became a follower of Lootcifer, he grants far superior luck then RNGesus the Mad.
FUCK
Luck: aight, ima head out.
Great video! Mario Party RNG is a killer.
Can't wait to see VRun on here, it's too obscure an indie game that I've yet to see a speedrun for it.
i love these speedrun videos :D
You: EZScape
Captions: easy escape
Dang, 63k subscribers and 44k views. I don't think I've seen numbers like that on the first day a video has been posted. Good job!
He's back!!!
Kirby Air Ride - City Trial 100 Checkboxes is a favourite of mine when considering RNG-heavy speedruns. Would have loved to see that on the list but these are all good picks, as well.
Great video :)
Hey, great video! I think it would be great if you could include the current WR as an overlay when you introduce each game. This would give us more context when you say something like "It saves 5 minutes" etc
Here's another really luck dependent speedrun: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon.
Every floor. Every item. Every non-story mission. Every non-boss enemy. Literally almost everything is randomly generated.
Also, the cutscenes are completely unskippable no matter what, and there's no way to speed up dialogue as far as I'm aware.
nice vid bro 👍
Top 10 speedruns with heavy RNG Manipulation
oh god, i remember that first try dampe from the clip at the beginning. that was the best day ever, the birds sang, poverty was solved, that was when RNGeesus was with us for one day
There's actually a secret to speed running Afterbirth+. It has many names, but most people call it "Reset until Tech X." We devised this strategy while attempting to accomplish anything with Keeper.
nice vid
FINALLY AN UPLOAD
98 hours is very long, but still fun and very interesting ! Nice to be in these top10s :P
You should do a "Top ten spliced speedruns that got busted" or something like that, i would enjoy it
Top 10 "the next game on this list" in this video
I thought Isaac speedruns were seeded
There are both
There is the seeded category and the non-seeded category, same goes with minecraft.
0/0 Glue Gunner nope just different character categories
Great video. Is the name EZScape related to runescape by chance?
Oh Werster this'll be good
Top 10 underrated speedgames?
DRAGON WARRIOR MONSTERS!! freaking love that game. so nostalgic.
another game i personally used to run is mega man battle network 4, which has tournaments that are randomly generated from when you select new game, meaning you can't save+reset before the tournament begins to influence who you fight. in these tournaments, 8 of your 9 opponents are random and have different scenarios that you have to play through before the fights with them. some of the scenarios are much faster than others, and a run with all perfect scenarios would save around 38 minutes on a run with the worst possible scenarios.
the final tournament is the most important, as it has 20 minutes of variance, and it doesn't start until nearly 2 hours into the speedrun. there's a bit of manipulation for the tournaments now, but you won't know for sure if you've done it correctly until nearly 2 hours in, so it's a very painful game to speedrun due to tournament RNG.
sweet, thanks
My personal addition to the list, a game I’ve somewhat seriously ran, Enter the gungeon. More specifically, the subcategory rainbow runs.
Also if my math is wrong feel free to correct me
TL;DR skip to the bottom for the odds of the theoretical perfect run
The game itself:
For a short explanation, etg is a rouge style game, with 5 (technically more but only the main 5 are relevant to the run) floors to complete before you reach the end of the game. On each floor you fight gradually tougher enemies while collecting various guns and items throughout each floor. The map layout is randomized, and somewhere in that randomly generated maze is the boss, which you have to beat to get to the next floor. After the 5th boss, you beat the game.
What’s different about a “rainbow run”:
For ever floor, there are 2 chest rooms and a shop, along with secret rooms, special shops, and even chests rewarded after clearing a room you can get loot from. In a rainbow run, you are locked out of all of these methods of obtaining loot, and instead get a choice of one of 8 items of better then average rarity at the start of each floor. This does mean it takes much more luck for a normal run, but going into that makes the perfect time subjective, and is way more complicated than a rainbow run.
Glitch chests:
Every time a chest spawns in on one of the first 3 floors, it has a 1 in 1000 (0.1%) chance to be a glitch chest. Glitch chests (which despite the name are not glitches, and are a fully intentional aspect of gameplay) will instantly teleport you to a unique version of the next floor. The floor consists only of the entrance and exit elevators, along with the boss room itself. In this boss room you fight 2 copies of a boss, then move on to the next floor.
On top of this already astronomically small chance, you can get 2 in one run.
The perfect gun:
In etg, bosses have a dps cap, meaning you can only do so much damage to them in a second. There are a just a few guns the dps limit dosnt apply to, but there’s also another way to get around it. If a single bullet does more than 1k damage, it completely bypasses the dps limit. For context on how much damage that is, the final boss has roughly 3k hp, the cloned boss you have to fight has just over 2k health combined, and the starter guns do 5 or 6 damage per shot. Only one gun from rainbow chests can hit over 1k damage. I’ll go into the math of the chances of getting it later.
The perfect loot:
For this run, we’re only interested in 2 items:
1. Ballistic boots: Literally just makes you move faster, that’s it
2. Teleporter prototype: Teleports you to a random room on that floor, along with a small chance of teleporting you to the next floor. The ideal usage of these items would be to the teleporter it in the first glitch level, teleport to the next floor, get the gun and kill the glitch boss on the second glitch floor, before teleporting to the final room of the fifth floor, beyond the final boss. Since the exact values are not listed on the wiki, we’ll say it’s roughly a 1 in 30 chance of teleporting to the right room and a 1 in 50 chance of teleporting to the next floor.
Rainbow chest math:
Rainbow chests spawn 4 guns and 4 items when opened, with each item having a 15% chance to be S tier, 54% chance to be A tier, and 31% chance to be B tier. The gun we need is A tier, and both items are B tier.
1. Gun math
54/100 A tier • 1/44 correct gun within A tier=54/4400
For calculating the other 3 guns, since the same gun can’t appear twice at once
54/100 • 1/43.46=54/4346
54/100 • 1/42.92=54/4292
54/100 • 1/42.38=54/4238
Adding it up, there is roughly a 5% chance of getting the right gun
2. Item math
31/100 correct tier • 1/73 correct item within B tier=31/7300
Items also cannot appear twice in the same rainbow chest
31/100 • 1/72.69=31/7269
31/100 • 1/72.38=31/7238
31/100 • 1/72.07=31/7207
Together, there is roughly a 1.7% chance of getting the correct item
All together:
0.1% (Glitch chest)
1.7% (Teleporter prototype)
2% (Teleport to the next floor)
0.1% (Glitch chest 2)
5% (Gun)
1.7% (Ballistic boots)
3.33% (Teleport to the correct room)
With all of that together, there is roughly a 0.0000000000009975411429% chance of getting the perfect run. You’re more likely to win the lottery twice in a row, or flip a coin and have it land on heads 50 times in a row, then to get the perfect run.
One more thing, in order for the gun to even be able to hit over 1k damage, you need to play a specific character. In order to play that character, you need to spend an in game currency that you can only get from killing bosses, so you can’t just reset until you get the perfect run.
More Speedrun Top 10's!
Where is Dark Cloud? ><
(good video EZScape :) )
nice to see FM number 1 on something tbh
GFC_ All this time payed off for something Kappa
Yay a new vid
I love your vids and it would help a lot if you had a better mic or spoke slower or something because as I'm french I don't always understand everything or hear the titles of the game... It would help a lot! Keep up the good work :)
I was surprised to see crash bash. That game was my childhood
I think it's a bit silly to include runs (I realize that Minecraft and Isaac have other elements of luck beyond the seed) where the run doesn't start until after you make the choice whether or not to reset. Clue falls into this category to some degree too, since the determining factor is "Do you get win conditions from the beginning to allow the run to occur"
When the selection point, like in the other selections (Final Fantasy in particular) is multiple hours in, that's a completely different situation.
I think Pokémon puzzle league could be a honorable mention. the fights can either be 9 minutes each or less than 1 (there's 12 fights in total, and the last one is 3 minutes most of the time)
Good bideo!
I wish I knew what speedrunning was when i was a kid, I beat clue in a few seconds by accident when I was trying to play it with my dad because I thought the button I pressed was me guessing what happened not an actual official input (idk what my thought process was). I somehow got it right. That was the first time I played it too so I was confused that it was over.
So glad #1 was here. IT EARNED THIS POSITION GOD I STILL HAVEN'T BEATEN THIS GAME 100%
People will probably mention fire emblem as a series that belongs in this series, which as a speedrunner of several FE games, is really not the case at all.
-Some fire emblem games are entirely RNG-manipulated, so that isn't really something where "bad luck" can happen. And you can't really make "non-manip" categories for these games either since they're so easy to manipulate anyways.
-In FE games that aren't entirely manipulated, FE games are routed with consistency in mind. This is because FE strats are very sensitive to change, i.e. if there's any chance of something going wrong, there is flat out no backup. We route as much consistency as possible. We specifically route FE games to be either 100% consistent (or close), or have a solid backup strat otherwise.
-Character level-ups aren't that much of an issue with luck. Path of Radiance has fixed growths mode, and Radiant Dawn guarantees +3 stat ups per level via BEXP. The 3DS games have absurdly high growth rates, to the point where level-ups hardly kill the run AFAIK.
Generally speaking, many viewers will think FE speedrunning is about making decisions and reacting to luck. However, due to the nature of how FE strategy works and consistency, that really isn't the case. FE is much more about execution as opposed to decision making like other RPG/strategy speedruns are (even those that aren't RNG-manipulated)
It says a lot when the worst real luck factor in a FE speedrun is a last boss that has a ~50% chance to waste ~one minute if you saved beforehand. There are many, many other games that are way worse off than these.
Hope this clears some misconceptions up about this series!
EZScape I'd say black ops zombies is the most rng dependant speedrun
The game resets and puts you back on round 1 due to a memory error and you can get random errors such as a gpsawn error which reset you to.
Not to mention the mystery box which give you random weapons and on the higher rounds only the "wonder weapon" can kill them so you're spinning random weapons for like a 1/35 chance of the correct weapon. if you're lucky it will take you 10 seconds to get the gun again. If you're unlucky it can take upwards of an hour.
There's also the insta kill bug which allows you to kill zombies in a single shot on certain rounds e.lg 163,165 but there's also a 1/4.5 chance of getting a dog round which will take you about a minute to complete instead of an hour for a normal round. Obviously the insta kill rounds are a lot faster than normal rounds but if the dog round falls on the insta kill round then you'll end up losing out on that insta kill round and hence adding a lot of time to your run
interesting fact about pokemon emerald, the guards at the elite four only check to see if you have the 6th badge (winona's) and none of the others. all of the other badges are "required" to reach the elite four because you need the 5th 7th and 8th badges' HMs to reach there, and you need the first 4 badges to be able to get the 5th one. the reason the 6th badge is checked is because it only gives access to fly, and fly is never required to beat the game, it just saves a lot of time.
I think twitch probably made RNG more popular in speedrunning 'cause watching someone play the same level the same way can get a bet boring, especially if you aren't familiar enough with the run to spot tiny mistakes (e.g. a mario bros NES WR run probably looks pretty similar to an average one to a casual player until you see a split).
i admire people that speedrun games that can take 8 hours that can be lost juuuuust to a single bad roll, i break controllers if i get bad luck in a casual playthrough.
I have a suggestion: "Top 10 level glitches in speedrunning".
For example, in Xenoblade (where you get EXP for discovering locations) there's a glitch which allows you to discover a series of endgame locations very early in the game, giving you enough EXP to get you to level 50 - enough to properly carry you over halfway through the game.
Don't forget EarthBound
some very good endgame items are only dropped by one enemy and have a 1/128 chance to be dropped
AFAIK, only Onett is RNG manipulated.
It's not terrible but getting a WR run or a great PB takes some considerable luck. I watched BGG run it for a few months and his PBs were few and far between.
SmegPod terraria -_-
Dude, if you ever can do a mystical ninja speedrun, that would be lit
I speedrunned the binding of isaac to the sheol in 10:34, and i didn't need to reset nothing, i know it's not a world record but i think it's pretty good
9:51 OWNED
98 hours?? I hope to god that he had breaks in thrre
If you're surprised at 98 hour speedrun then watch a video called: "Top 20 Longest speedruns" (Hint hint: There's actually over a 200 hour speedrun ;)
daddy is here
OhnoOsiel 👌
OhnoOsiel
Looks like you're first, so you get a Crown: 👑
That fucking Clue speed run always has me in tears of laughter
Kinda surprised Mystery Dungeon series weren't mentioned.
Have you ever tried to WR Pokemon Statium?
Pure Luck, must be on this list
One that's ridiculously luck dependent is don flamenco2 in Mike Tysons punchout. The first and 7th punch you land on him gives you a star and between punches 2 and 6 you have a 1/16 chance of getting a star. On top of that you have to hope that you get the lowest possible health refill which is also a 1/16 chance. That fastest possible time proven by a tas is a tko of 0:58 seconds which requires the lowest refill and getting 5 stars in a row which totals to odds of about 1/1,048,576.
Just clicking right now and tboi:r better be here.
i tried speedrunning Risk of Rain which is a Rouge like game where the exit for each floor is either right next to you or on the oppisite side of the map. aslo you need specific items to speed up the run and if you dont get them you might as well reset. the #1 speed runner got really close to perfect rng so beating his time is almost impossible.
goodvid
it seems like every top 10 speedruns video i watch always starts with the legend of zelda on the N64 for the opening clip
The clip was from a speedrunner attempting to get a heart piece from Dampe in a 100% run. Dampe has a 1/10 chance to give you the heart piece so I showed it off as an example of RNG in runs. So that's my main reason for featuring it.
RWG would love you for this title lmfao
Spelunky would've been cool to see on this list.
Man I remember crash bash, my brother and I loved it. Have no idea why I sold it.
oh I remember that Yu-Gi-Oh game!
I think it is for PS1
I remember I used to play it... It was a very long game
What I'm learning is chuggaconroy should start speedrunning
6:32 it for me nearest was 3,500+ blocks/meters away
Another one that comes to mind for me is the speedrun of Animal Crossing 100%, which has only been done by a few people as far as I know, and that's completely reasonable.
LOOL apollo justice just made a video on this
