Since Portal's release in 2007, speedrunners have tried to find a way to skip the minute-long cutscene at the start of the game. While such a skip seemed impossible, speedrunners would eventually find a way to break the simplest part of the game.

I love when strats get found after years, it just goes to show no record is perfect and there is always time to save.
the interesting thing is that the current high level runs arent even close to the level of gameplay that the previous wr holder was at.
Super mario bros 2 (or whatever it was orz) would disagree xD
@@clairevoyanceSLA huh?
@@skinnybuggo shizzal's 9:41 and his general inbounds ability is still unmatched by everyone else with a top inbounds time. not to say they're bad, but with shizzal's level of gameplay (which nobody is really at yet) the record could be lowered much more (8:3x is possible)
It also shows that some video games just can’t ever die
Fun fact: This skip is probably the most painless skip ever, because it happens at the very start of the run.
Edit: New Baba Is You song that speedrun analyzers like to use: Space
idk, sometimes you end up, especially in nosla, just sitting in that room for 10-15+ minutes, just trying to get the stupid skip.

@@MagikalKrabical After that if you're lucky, you can find a place to put and tie the rope.
the "ent_remove" command isn't cheat protected either, so you can actually delete the glass for the vault without technically cheating, same with every door/entity in the game.
that is a category extension. portal has whitelisted commands for main categories.

Portal players: playing and finding things to this day, after more than a decade
Valve: I'll keep pretending no one wants Portal 3
Shit, id be scared of following up 2 amazing games as well.
Unlike Half-Life I don't honestly really want a Portal sequel, I think the story is great as is. A expanded multiplayer game would be cool though, or a prequel.
It's not that, they know. It's just both games and the story is perfect as is and shoudlnt be tainted, as there's not many ways to (uncheaply) continue the story. Plus following up two classic masterpieces years later is a super daunting task when they could just... Not.
@@bagelbramble7335 They could just use same "universe" and write another story with different characters. That way they can use mostly same gameplay formula and portal story line doesn't have to be tainted. One of the easy solutions.
@@torak6086 yes but then it'd just be mediocre spin-off filler, and would probably feel more like one of the many original character mods, and not another portal game, I doubt it'd feel the same. And even if it was well received, that still wouldn't really be Portal 3, like how Half Life Alyx isn't Half Life 3.

I understood that reference!
@@xX123Dorian123Xx whats the reference?
@@brony4869 portal reloaded!
_57th like and I'm dying_
@@brony4869 he phrased it VERY similar to the portal reloaded introduction.
I kinda find it funny how this skip, due to the vault save, hasn't changed actually doing the speedrun all that much (besides performing the glitch), but now the final time is reduced by nearly a minute.
Who else didn't know you could interact with the ceiling lamp? Please tell me I'm not the only one...
I didn't either. :x
I thought it was part of the level, not interactive
I think I've seen a TAS using that lamp.
@@sanikuanonym1105 yes, he mentions the tas strat in the video
No, i parkoured up onto it
The fact that the someone discover a new route in over 14 years and just sharing it away is on another level
Not like they could keep it secret
@@ciarangale4738 yea they would have to explained it to the speedrun mods
Also, more often speedrunners think as a collective: it's not them vs each other, it's them all vs the game
As a wise man in the trackmania community once said “If you ever approach the limit, you only push it further away.”
You know it’s good when Msushi gets sponsors every video, keep going
Agreed!
The sponsor is not trust worthy tho, he basically does everything for money
Reload the page and the timer gets renewed
I wouldn’t trust that sponsor
You are everywhere wtf

"Can you beat portal for me?"
"Yeah give me 5 minutes."
RUclips be like, "Yeah this looks like Portal 2 alright."
The organization was harsh on this one. Poor Shizzal
Finally somebody understands
@@Shizzal You're a god.
@@Shizzal omg its him
Cool profile pic! Can I get a link to the artist?
This video took longer to watch than a portal speed run and I bet everyone did the sponser skip
Yup
Why being so rude?
Hilariously enough, when Portal came out in Orange box, I tossed the radio in the bed randomly and it glitched into a projectile that killed me. I always wondered if it could be used as a clip, but I'm not a speedrunner and didn't know about the quickload momentum conservation deal. Super neat to see Source continually broken!
Ever since RUclipss release in 2005, RUclips speedrunners have found ways to watch this video in a whopping 10 minutes, whats problematic, is that almost 20% of that speedrun, is just spent waiting for Msushi to finish talking about todays sponsor
Luckily users found that if they tap the right side of their screen 7 times in quick succession they could skip the sponsor completely, this saves exactly 60 seconds.
@@nothingnothing1799 it ends exactly at the end if you skip 7 times right after he said sponsor
@@thealandude9146 yeah its like that with most sponsors, they pay for a 60 second ad and I skip everyone of them
@@nothingnothing1799 Imagine skipping manually when things like Sponsor Block are a thing
@@Janfon1 ive never found tapping my screen particularly hard i guess
Yooooo my man got a sponsor, you've grown so much sushi, congrats!!!
I had taken a month break or so from Twitch, the portal discord, everything
When I came back I started grinding out a run and like three people immediately said I should have been doing Vault Skip
I hadn't actually seen it done before but then I found it on the speedrun doc and my mind was just completely blown
Just found out about your channel and I really love it. The same type of videos like Wirtual's with huge effort put into them. Thank you for doing such a great job Msushi
I’m actually kind of surprised it took that long to find. The bed door closing seems like such an obvious place for issues to occur. I didn’t even know the bed had an animation lol…
I am not afraid of anything but cutscenes, Cutscenes scare me.
I fear no man... but that thing... it scares me...
@@baseddepartment6469 TF2 Speedrun coming soon?
7:09 So, maybe, if you were a robot...
Captcha: i can confirm that.

Video was great and background music selection was epic.
I agree, video was great! (totally calm over here and not panicking because one of my favorite youtubers commented on another of my favorite youtubers' video)
Oh hey look it's the hollow knight guy.
I dont want to be mean or anything but this skip seems like a huge oversight, the explanation made perfect sense, why has no one tried this earlier? :o
Maybe thats why it slipped under notice, people had gotten to the point where they assumed someone had tried that or maybe its more specific than it looks and no one had happened across the right position/technique
it's really weird how it works and we aren't even quite sure of how the radio bump and clip stuff works yet. it's pretty different from other stuff seen in the run and other methods of clipping in other games, so we're not very sure.
Right? Theres so many props in that room and a very thin wall. in the source engine it's like the perfect room to clip out of, at least I thought.
I am baffled how this wasnt discovered sooner. In the past even i have tried using the radio and the the closing glass of the bed to clip out of the wall. But, it just didnt happen
Things always seem obvious after they are discovered, we knew you could get stuck in the glass but only temporarily, and there are just plenty of different variables.
First of all, you have to be crouched in the back side of the bed which makes no sense why, then you have to uncrouch as the glass closes. Specifically press jump at a specific time so you get pushed backwards, then wait 3 seconds, shove the radio downwards, and then start save loading in a specific rhythm.
Doing any other deviations either makes it impossible or grossly inconsistent.
Before finding this route, I screwed around with the bed for almost 4 hours before actually finding progress. Typically people would give up after not getting any results for a few minutes, but I decided to keep looking for something. Because usually when finding new glitches/mechanics you’re betting your time whether it might work or not, and 99.99% of the time it won’t.
I love when he finds the glitch and shakes the camera in excitement 😌
I was wondering if you were gonna make a vid about this skip. Great video!
wonderful video! enjoy your presentation and exciting info every time you upload. this one has lovely music choices as well!
"Mom stfu the purple portal guy just uploaded another pointless but interesting speedrun documentary"
tfw saving 50 secs is pointless
@@scrubthemagneticjetski2124 But what about saving 50 sex?
Honestly I really wish you would make videos more often. These are all top tier content. Thank you.
I love Portal series and you appeared on my home page.
I'm so glad that I've discovered this channel no cap
3:22 I'm just imagining a speedrunner stuck in jail, passing the time by finding glitches in life's engine.
ah yes hollow knight music in the background
I'd love to see Msushi (or any of the "speedrun analysis" RUclipsrs) do a video on Hollow Knight speedruns.
Greenpath! Recognized it immediately
someone else noticed!!
Thank you for the great content and nice job getting sponsored! ❤️
You got me hooked on watching speed-running videos. I've ended up stumbling across summoning salt because of you. Couldn't thank you enough
With how mind boggling a lot of skips are, I'm surprised one this simple and this huge took so long to find.
Wow! Even before I've ever heard of speedrunning, from the first time I played Portal I wanted to skip that chamber. Even when I wasn't interested in it at all, and I think many other players had that urge too.
That's not only a speedrunning trick to me. It's something I've always wanted. A way to break free from that glass chamber and surprise GLaDOS.
To me, that is the ultimate skip in Portal, the thing that we always wanted to have. There might be other more complex, but that's the one. Feels so good to finally have it.
I saw this strategy in a recent speedrun and was wondering how it worked, thanks
I've never watched a speed runner in my life or ever even been interested in it. But your videos have a way of drawing you in and I love it. I've now binge watched a lot of your videos and they are all so interesting to watch. Thank you for the content
really? have you watched other speedrunning documentary youtubers? i find speedrunning very interesting even if you don't run the game yourself, it really put it into perspective.
It's crazy how simple this seems on paper.
It seems like one of those things that sometimes gets found on like week one of other games, getting stuck on the bed, and im sure plenty of players have gotten stuck on it before just messing around but that one more step of needing to hold the radio made it take 14 years
I'd love to see a breakdown of the no going through portals category
Vault skip is oob
New to this channel, great content, been bingeing videos 👍
Awesome video! Learned a lot
This proves that there will always be newer skips, a faster run, a bigger fish! Another amazing video!
Ah I can already see that this video gets a million views I love the quality
I just want to say I saw the thumbnail and read “Portugal’s biggest skip ever” and was confused when I saw Glados.
thank you man, you inspired me to try my first speedrun, and practice doing glitches and bugs to speedrun
10:07 the 4:54 second barrier in smb1: am i a joke to you
15% of the speed run is taken up. Sorry what, a 50 SECOND LONG CUTSCENE IS 15% OF THE SPEEDRUN
I love finding an awesome new channel I will definitely binge.
5:30 Dear GOD that had me laughing really hard. I was not expecting that!
7:57 is where he explain actuall skip, life is too short to listen to jabber for almost 8 minutes ffs
Has it really been 14 years?
Yesssss a new video, i keep looking on your channel for video's and Finally A new video :D
Lol that transition to wind waker music to signify a barrier skip good editing.
I mean, there’s always a “biggest skip” in a game’s speedrun, unless there are no skips at all
This video changed my life
Love your vids!
Great vid! Very well explained
The thumbnail implies that you just go back to sleep and end the game that way
EDIT: apparently that's basically what it is
This is insane
As soon as I saw your video in my notifications tab I immediately dropped what I was doing to watch it. These videos are so good!
Such a great video, love it!
woah mom i'm in an msushi video!!
0:32 "While this RUclipsr takes the time to tell you to subscribe, the RUclipsr never actually does so in a condescending and direct manner."
It's genius
"A speedrunner named jookspa"
:(
hat in time music being used in various videos just brings me joy
It's always awesome when the skip is super easy! Amazing.
portal video game
thanks man i am new in the speedrun community of portal and i was wondering this!
5:23 me when the alarm clock wakes me up
Video about skipping one section of speedrun is longer than whole speedrun
you can any% watch speedrun the video about speedruns by pressing the End key.
Jokes on you bad speedrun categories Airboat% has the best vault skip of all. Just get a boat.
yes new msushi vid
While not a speed runner myself I do tend to rush through games and I remember getting a fast time on portal and looked into speed runs. Seeing those crazy sub 10 minute speed runs made me super interested and it always made me sad there was no way to skip the starting chamber. That being said this video is great to see
Nice.
7:48 to start the video.
great vid as always
These videos are really good. Like seriously good job. I don't like speedrunning and am not into it but still find your content interesting.
Idk wy but i get Wirtual vibes Form your vids, i realy like them and the are kind of relaxing
This is awesome, I had no idea
I actually managed to use the radio to like fly up the glass after seeing the TAS but i didnt manage to get up to the lamp
surprised this wasn't discovered sooner, i swear i've seen the same quicksave glitch in plenty of other videos of yours
there’s a lot of weird stuff that goes into it which is why it wasn’t found sooner, the saveloading isn’t the only part (in fact you can do it without saveloading but it’s slower and happens once every half hour if you’re lucky)
Can you make more celeste videos?
I thought this said Portugal's biggest skips and I thought RUclips was sending me those 2 am videos again.
This is a "Why didn't I think of that." moment
who cares
Who doesn't care
@GUTTERWITCH adam is literally wr holder lol, just in a category that doesn’t use this trick.
So now we just have to find a container ride skip.
I remember watching Jukspa's TAS.
It was the video that made me interested in speedrunning.
I even gave it a shot at some point... but playing on the Xbox 360 Still Alive demo didn't get me anywhere.
Msushi when will you make a video on the times ive carried u in league? Love your vids.
