Edson Dantas me when i try: "I BELIEVE I CAN FLYYYY- OH SHI-" *SPLAT* Gaius: "OH COME ON NOT ON THE METAL! I JUST CLEANED THAT YESTERDAY!" Me: *flips off*
Frosty Cone its cuz their pros. We're just babies who like to take our time with games, and say "no malus, i dont care how agonisingly frusterating it is to not fall off your head 10 times, im NOT looking up a speed run! Ill take as long as i want butchering your STONEY CONCRETE ASS!!" then we cry in the corner cuz we will never be good enough.
yeah, I've never been able to get to 15's chest using that move. I can get to its waist but no further and I have tried dozens of times. It looks so easy in the video but it's not.
Note: Most of these records have been beaten by a new generation of players, mainly from Brazil. Check out the world record times here: nomads-sotc-blog.blogspot.com.au/2012/12/time-attack-records.html
this boy to kill colossi needs to hit him with the sword in the vital points to kill them, Chuck Norria with his eyes and without even hitting them, he kills them all, if so many years have lived peacefully the giants is because Chuck Norris lets them live
I took down colossus 8 in 35 seconds on hard mode using the Sword Of Dormin. I probably didn't break any records but I was happy just to do as well as I did, especially using a controller with terrible drift. Watching these speed records is impressive & they make it look so much easier than it really is. Persistence can pay off though. After trying on & off for over a decade, I finally got the Queens Sword for PS2 & PS3 in December of last year. It was a great way to end 2021.
Now that i'm watching this again years later, i realise how good the old colossi sound effects were. Quadratus screams sounds so much better on ps2 than on the ps4 remake. There's so much more emotion on the screams than today.
Thanks! I must have missed those two... I checked all his videos carefully to make sure, but I guess I missed those. I'll update my blog. Man - that guy is just amazing isn't he! I would love to see what he could do with the PS3 version xD.
The only 2 things I can brag about: #1: I've 100 percented the OG, laggy frame rate PS2 version. #2: I figured out how to keep the stick from the Celosia fight. That being said, I passionately love this game, and I like to think I'm one of the best at it, but these people are on a whole other level. These people are GODS of time attack mode...
What exactly is 100 percenting the old version? Killing all the colosi? Killing all the colosi in Easy, normal and hard? Killing all the colossi in time attack mode and hard attack mode aswell as normal easy, normal and hard because I beat all of the 16 colossi on the ps2 version which is the version I like most out of the ps3 and the ps4 version.
For those of you complaining; note that Noocurrname is playing the PAL version. If you look at the back of your box, it probably says NTSC. That's why many of his tricks don't work for you.
after his 12th NTA it was the 8th HTA...I challenge him to beat my 1:10:88 , he did sub 1 minute some days later putting an end to my ambition to become better than him even against a single colossus. However he is very humble, he never told me how suck I am even if I challenged him quite often, neither he told about himself that he is a good player. always willing to help people (including me) to get better times, a great human beings. That was my little tribute to him.
It's all relative. if the frame rate is slower the timer is slower as well, so it doesn't make any difference to the time in the end. These guys are masters of the game - I mean just look at the times in NTA - they are incredible!
the fact that you could exploit environmental and physical methods using your ability as a player to drastically reduce the amount of time required to kill each colossi was so good and entertaining that they decided to make the grip a lot more loose in the hd remaster, so that wander gets staggered even if the colossi farts or breaths and you can swear like a satanist :D hooray. I definitely don't miss the way you could head jump gaius in the ps2 version... definitely not ^-^.
Some jumps that noccurrname makes seems just too... Magnetized to some point of the colossus that it seems to be cheats, but i'd rather believe it's possible
Speed runners manipulate the game to their advantage, that goes for the colossi AI and the physics. There are alot of speed runner guides that show you how it's done.
If you're on a colossus and have your sword equipped, do you lose grip faster? im asking because ive noticed the players frequently changing from hand to sword (for what reason, i don't know).
None of these videos are mine, I just found them online and put them all together into one video to show the fastest times. But to do that trick, you push up and hit triangle then release triangle and push forward again. It's tricky to master and usually Wander falls back and grabs onto the ledge but if you practise long enough you can master it. I still can't do it every time xD.
Thank you Alainaiso ; ) I just uploaded an update video featuring some faster times by Nooccurname. Yes, I agree he is an amazing player but for a while there you were in the top record holders list! Even the great T0nu was left behind by this player! Perhaps you could try again to beat one of his records?
It makes me happy to think that people such as these ones have enough time to devote to atually doing this instead of work or other stuff. Mmakes me all warm and fuzzy on the inside :)
Hello Unidone - nice to see you are still out there ; ) Do you still have videos or images of your time attack records? If so I can see how they compare to the other records. こんにちはUnidone - あなたはまだそこにいる見ていい;）あなたはまだタイムアタックレコードのビデオや画像を持っていますか？もしそうなら私は、彼らが他のレコードと比較してどのように見ることができます。
You made a small error in the description. Gaius HTA should be 22:47. Also, do you think you could list the achieved times in the description, because some of them are very hard to read.
18:51 - is there a trick for not being thrown out of position so you can charge the stab more effectively? I'm not sure what to do, when the colossus starts flailing around, I just can't grab a hold long enough so the stab charges even 1/5th before he throws me out of position successively... what I try to do is to let it go and balance myself free for a second before grabbing again, it seems to allow me to charge the next stab a little better, but they don't do that here...
Can anyone explain to me how they move Wander around during the "cutscene" moments of the colossus fights? I tried asking when I was younger, but I never got a straight answer. I've both the PS2 and PS3 versions, and I've loved this game ever since it came out. When I looked into speedrunning to save a few minutes in Time Attack Hard Mode, I still was never able to move around during a cutscene. If anyone has the answer, or even just a link to the answer, I'd really appreciate it if you could share the information. :)
On Valus, I suggest jump slashing the ankle, and doing what is shown in the vid, when the cutscene starts, drop and move on the joystick to the left and down until a certain point, then up and left a little, then jump, and you'll be around the head somewhere
I hate how they made the PS3 version hard as shit... you cant pull off half of the stunts seen in this video and wander shakes like a bitch trying to hold on.
Quadratus is way faster in normal game because if you drop down off the path over the part where it comes out there’s a place where you can stand on and it will trigger the cutscene and you can then just jump straight on him
That hydrus one is insane and I swear it never turns like that with me but I’m thankful that’s the case with dirge because it just immediately turned towards wander and I would shit bricks if that happened
These are the best times I could find - but others have claimed even faster times, but if they uploaded videos I couldn't find them. I even checked Japanese video sites (for Unidone) but came up empty!
While I don’t have a fast time for Avion on hard TA, I got lucky switching from second wing to tail, I let go because I ran out of stamina and flew halfway to the back of near tail sigil lmao shaved off a good amount of time ;)
Nomad , qual foi a cenario ou coisa mais interessante que vc ja descobriu no shadow of the colossus? // Nomad, which was the scenario more interesting or something that you already discovered in the shadow of the colossus?
Is there a website or something that documents all these tricks and how they're done? or a forum thread or something? i'm looking to get into speedrunning this game and I can't seem to find anything more recent than like 2007!
There are forums about time attacks but usually they just list the times of players etc. All you need to know is there in the videos. I would choose one colossus and then just practise over and over until you have it down to an art, then start recording and hopefully you will beat one of the time attacks. Although these guys are so good it will be very difficult I think! Maybe try with #1 or #2 as they are the easiest to beat.
+Lucia Fyte It is possible to do almost all the NTSC version :). All video who are on my channel were made in the NTSC version ^ - ^ If you can from a look :)
Nomad, do you think the developers had seen these time attack footage back then? Because if they did, I'm guessing they are just as amased as we are. I mean look at them, its so crazy what they did! I'm still working on believing of what I've just seen. =D
Man, I could pull off the Gaius trick, but not so consistently. The Phaedra trick but probably less often. And the barba, basaran and argus trick probably very rarely, but I have no idea how they pulled off the cenobia trick.
+Đemøn Đaýs 0:33:58 by Cimeries SotC but I think he was using the NTSC version. It doesn't matter if it's PS2 or PS3 anymore, NTSC or PAL - I list the fastest times for all regions here: nomads-sotc-blog.blogspot.com.au/2012/12/time-attack-records.html
Just from personal experience I have performed just about every trick shown, just rarely on conjuncture and never with any reliance. And yes to everyone asking, you have to have ps2 version and certain tricks require certain versions to pull off.

Wander :"I BELIEVE I CAN FLY!"

Gaius: "OH COME ON NOT ON THE METAL! I JUST CLEANED THAT YESTERDAY!"

these guys make it look like a total different game

Even the music isn't sure what to do lol
Silver EnderFox ikr
8:46 the music just says "Well shit what do I do now"
It wasn't ready! XD
🤣
8:44 Even the music stopped for a second to do a double-take.
Game: yo tf did you really do dat shit?
That trickjump on the third Colossus tho!!!
Dracon204 u need to perform that jump if you want to get the platinum for the ps4 remake now
Keithixix 197 I can't kill him on time attack because that jump it's VERY hard for me
@@ennardzueiro3412 i didn't did That jump, and I complete time atack mode. Maybe was luck🤔
@@mean4419 You know that every Time Attack is possible without speedrun strats right? Like how you don't need to do that jump for Gaius
@@BlackEmberzz luck
MASTER OF COLOSSUS
The Gaius one was crazy how he just boosted himself from the stone arm straight to his head. Gnarls
2:31 "Omae wa mou shindeiru!"
2:38 "NANI?!"
yeah, I've never been able to get to 15's chest using that move. I can get to its waist but no further and I have tried dozens of times. It looks so easy in the video but it's not.

brazil s2s2s2s2
still those people are ninjas.
I can't believe J Mitchell's record has been broken. Do you have a video of it?
eeeeba vai Brasil!!!!!!!!!!!
:D
noccurrname is one super sayain level 4
So he doesn't exist then?
Did you mean... Super Sayain level 4,000?
No, hes even stronger... Hes super sayan level COLOSSI!!!!!!!!!
The strongest form
ultra instinct
I love the Avion battle in this video.
Ruin The one once called Scorpion me too😍
I love how on nomrla difficulty are only 2 players holding all the records and the last the hardest one is just held by stranger xD
Filsek ikr xD
I don't know why Chuck Norris always uses fake screen names when he plays video games.
this boy to kill colossi needs to hit him with the sword in the vital points to kill them, Chuck Norria with his eyes and without even hitting them, he kills them all, if so many years have lived peacefully the giants is because Chuck Norris lets them live
true
15th colossus in 43 seconds is insane!
Haseeb BSAA Yes
I mean really insane! It was really a time taking boss for me.
umm it was 46 seconds
It was 46. And Shirapon broke the record with 42 seconds
Wait what let me skip to this part
Anyone else become speechless at 3:34? What the hell! I could never do that magnet move LOL
CarolsVideos Ikr?
2:33 okay, that was pretty cool
It's not just a game, mom.
That Gaius leap was so superb I remain stunned...
I love that you went back to this video just to add chapters to it, thank you for your dedication!

Watching these is one anxiety attack after the other.
It’s insane half these dudes aren’t even stabbing the Sigils, like what?
This is art, actually, this whole game is art. However I've never seen such beautiful gameplay and I am humbled
I agree if only we had all the bosses and content this game was suppose to have we can only imagine how many more records we’d have.
I watched this vídeo again! Amazing vídeo! Nomad Colossus,thanks for sharing it!
Thanks! I must have missed those two... I checked all his videos carefully to make sure, but I guess I missed those. I'll update my blog. Man - that guy is just amazing isn't he! I would love to see what he could do with the PS3 version xD.

Wow 0.0 I never would of thought these kind of times were possible. Thanks for uploading :)
This game is designed so well, you can see the development team wanted these techniques to be utilized
It's all relative. if the frame rate is slower the timer is slower as well, so it doesn't make any difference to the time in the end. These guys are masters of the game - I mean just look at the times in NTA - they are incredible!
this game is on a class of its own. perfect in every conceivable way in terms of design, aesthetics, immersion, gameplay, lore
You should do a new video with the most recent records.
2:36 MY GOD o.O
The way how the player has won last collosi is incredible!
2:34 super jump
I think this is the best video of shadow of the colossus
the fact that you could exploit environmental and physical methods using your ability as a player to drastically reduce the amount of time required to kill each colossi was so good and entertaining that they decided to make the grip a lot more loose in the hd remaster, so that wander gets staggered even if the colossi farts or breaths and you can swear like a satanist :D hooray. I definitely don't miss the way you could head jump gaius in the ps2 version... definitely not ^-^.
Adonai well a colossus fart or exhale would be pretty big
Jajaja I was looking forward to play the HD version but now I'm not sure. The original version is frustrating enough for me...
Time attack in the PS3 version was complete horseshit with how unfair it was. Thankfully, it was challenging but easier in the PS4 remake.
34 seconds to get to the base of the last Colossi is insane bro.
Sim, eu vou
celosia dies in 2 hits wow!
+Sableduo Gaming It always does on Normal mode
Amazing
Whole lotta stabbin'
Some jumps that noccurrname makes seems just too... Magnetized to some point of the colossus that it seems to be cheats, but i'd rather believe it's possible
Like the second one! He doesn't even look at the Collossus's head!
Speed runners manipulate the game to their advantage, that goes for the colossi AI and the physics. There are alot of speed runner guides that show you how it's done.
Thumbs' up! Awesome video!! I love this game!! :)
That's legit. The weak spots extend out further than you think. Try it with Avion and you will see. There's no cheating in these videos.
These are just incredible!
If you're on a colossus and have your sword equipped, do you lose grip faster? im asking because ive noticed the players frequently changing from hand to sword (for what reason, i don't know).
these guys should be in the record books
Ultra instinct on these clossi and awesome video Nomad also helps me out on takeing Down the clossi faster

You would feel like a king xD
Jibril hell yeah i need em so i can get all the time attack items for the trophy in the new game
Hello Unidone - nice to see you are still out there ; ) Do you still have videos or images of your time attack records? If so I can see how they compare to the other records.

If anyone has the answer, or even just a link to the answer, I'd really appreciate it if you could share the information. :)
Certain Colossi trigger cutscenes that don't "Freeze" Wander in place meaning that some colossi can be dominated easily, Hope this helps :D
On Valus, I suggest jump slashing the ankle, and doing what is shown in the vid, when the cutscene starts, drop and move on the joystick to the left and down until a certain point, then up and left a little, then jump, and you'll be around the head somewhere
How did the players do that "pounce and stab" technique and what do you do to stab cancel again?
I hate how they made the PS3 version hard as shit... you cant pull off half of the stunts seen in this video and wander shakes like a bitch trying to hold on.
2:36 never know you can do that ROLF XD
2:25 awesome
a latin guy (noccurrname) is better than an asian guy (shirapon) in a game? thats impresive
Yes. Very Impressive.
HEUEHEUEHU neh :/
I think he's from Spain
kkk já sou melhor que shirapon XD e sou br :D mais pra passar o nivel de Noocurrname ainda terei que treinar muito :/
Haha br br br hue
How do you roll instantly when you finished climbing on malus? Isn't a secret or a glitch?
He is amazing
Quadratus is way faster in normal game because if you drop down off the path over the part where it comes out there’s a place where you can stand on and it will trigger the cutscene and you can then just jump straight on him

It seems like, in difficulty terms, PS2 and PS3 versions compare as a kindergarten and academy.

What is that movement of jumping and falling with an attack they do? I can't do it (I play on PS3)
Tringle to jump, so you press R1 + Square in the air.
Fantastic.....
Yall got any more of them pixels
Is it possible to do all of these techniques on the NTSC version? If not, which ones aren't possible? I want to try some of these out.
+Lucia Fyte It is possible to do almost all the NTSC version :). All video who are on my channel were made in the NTSC version ^ - ^ If you can from a look :)
What was that music on the 6th colossus? That music was cool
I’d like to know, do the monsters shake as much in the ps2 version as ps3? Doesn’t look like it.
The ps3s ai for the colossus are broken.
Dammit Mitchell you fucking baddas, walking right through Malus' shots!
many movements are so strange ,and the PJ never desestabilizes with the moster moving so WTF
How do you that?
Approaching Malus like that is impossible.
Nomad, do you think the developers had seen these time attack footage back then? Because if they did, I'm guessing they are just as amased as we are. I mean look at them, its so crazy what they did! I'm still working on believing of what I've just seen. =D
Man, I could pull off the Gaius trick, but not so consistently. The Phaedra trick but probably less often. And the barba, basaran and argus trick probably very rarely, but I have no idea how they pulled off the cenobia trick.

+Đemøn Đaýs Practice makes perfect! Well almost xD.
charge an up left jump. i got it after about 30 minutes of trying. do you know how you get #7 to come up far enough to grab him?
Just from personal experience I have performed just about every trick shown, just rarely on conjuncture and never with any reliance. And yes to everyone asking, you have to have ps2 version and certain tricks require certain versions to pull off.
Yeah for example i have ntsc version And the gaius catapult triciclo worked But half way: i got catapulted to his stomach
Can you do one for the PS3 version?
what beta colossus would you want to see more than anything else?
