"most RNG is over"
next scene
theres a 12% chance of this going well
most of the numbers % he is showing in the video is made up its an extra touch to make the video look more accurte
some of the numbers are right but not all of them
@@abody1233 he did say at the start that the numbers aren't accurate because he only tested them 50 times
@@luffygrful ya you have to understand some of the numbers he showed is 100% random
i am not saying all of them are most of it is correct but some are made up just to fit the video
@@abody1233 I'm not sure you know what the phrase "made up" means.

Now most RNG is over for a while and Yuushi can finally take a deep breath of fresh air. 8 second time loss.
LMAOOO
I legit thought yuushi's Leon would throw eggs or something
ahaha I love reading comments. People are so funny. Thanks for the much needed chuckle
"RE4 is not really a game known for its RNG..."
*Proceeds to spend 20 minutes pointing out 17,941 instances of RNG in the game*
Errors in scripting like this happen all the time.
Just because it's not blatant in a casual playthrough doesn't make it any less RNG to speedrun.
Alexandre Martins It’s... not an error though? The point he’s making is the game isn’t _known_ for its RNG, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have them.
Also almost 18,000 instances of RNG is really a small number. Most games will have rng instances ranging in the six to 8 figures
What's is "RNG"?
When I wake up in the morning there is a 75% chance my poop gets stuck. A 15 second time loss.
Shitting the bed = gold time segment
you can try more fiber in your diet if you dont consider it cheating
If you use the opiate skip you completely bypass the poop section 6 out of 7 days
I hate it when my poop gets stuck due to a failed bowel skip.
😂 well done
"For these individuals, the game often becomes their entire life." And then immediately shows one of my runs -_- cmonbruh. Good vid GGs
Rip dude
I love you Frenchman
🗣 Nerrrrrrrd
IN THE AAAAAARRRRMS OF THE ANGEEELLLLLSSSSS FLY AWAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY
I thought the record is held by Ninja?
Re4 is a truly evergreen game. I've completed this game so many times that I've lost count probably sunk 300 or so hours into this game in a timespan of 4 years . Probably one of the few games that I'll play even 10 years later .
That's what i thought about BOTW but i've only played 300 hours of it in 1 year
I hated re4 and still do to this day haha
@@dylanhalll407 I’m sorry
its a masterpiece
It really never gets old to me such a fun casual play game so rewarding and so much replay value
Has 1800 hours in RE4
Has 11/12 Achievements...
DUDE!
My guess is its the one for all costumes unlocked due to not being allowed to use Pinstripe in OG RE4 speedruns.
Nobody gives auddy07 the respect he deserves. He held every record across multiple consoles for a long long time, made a speedrun guide (which got deleted sadly), and pretty much popularized strategies that are still used. Shooting yourself with rockets in village was even called "auddy rockets" for a while.
wait, that guide got deleted? that sucks, I suppose it's a good thing I managed to download it
As respectable a runner Auddy07 is and his contribution towards the community that helped shaped it to this day. He's had a pretty bad record with people in the RE4 and 5 community in the past which eventually lead him to kind of fade away.
@@wagqubu that doesnt surprise. He also deleted most of runs and turned off comments. I thought it was because his newfound faith was annoying people but I guess it was something different. If you could link me to anything I would love it. Hes the guy who got me into speedrunning in the first place
@@jeremiahbaugh8195 I don't really remember too much detail on why he got removed as super mod from both the RE4 and 5 speedrun forums since it's been a long time but I do remember him DMing me apologizing for shit talking me behind my back when I was still a fairly new runner in the RE4 community. I forgive him but it's just sad how he handled the social aspect of the community poorly but did a great job trying to brand the RE4/5 speedrun community and shilling it.
Woah cool
Nice job spreading a legend like that.
I'll remember that name, auddy07
Zelda Windwaker is in a similar spot where basically the game is broken about as much as could ever be possible and now the only way to lower the time any further is with luck that would make even the gods of fortune blush.
For sure any popular game will get to that point however it’s important to note that skill is still required
you need really good luck and good execution or a new skip ;)
Still can't believe the way they made sploosh-kaboom consistent.
Re4 and WW: My two favorite games of all time
"novistadors, aka pure cancer" lmfaooo
Damn right. They're more annoying than my wife. Hell
Bruh fuck the novistadors...
Ehh novistadors are easy if you just use the shotgun to knock them back and you just run away from them
The real cancer are wolves there literally one shots on the hardcore mode
@@kyleenguyen9590 the wolves for me are child's play. Throw a grenade while they're still in their cage, and walk away. The ones that do take longer to kill I just pepper them with fully upgraded TMP rounds until they die. Though the novistadors like dodging my shotgun shots and tackling me for some reason. O.o or the ones in the wild just shotgun then grenade lol
*Noclipstadors*
I don't know why youtube suggested this to me but it was actually quite an enjoyable watch. Its fascinating how much there is to take into consideration with speedrunning!
Speedrunning is an art that only few can master the speedrun perfectly.
Isnt it ironic how much time you spend completing a game quickly?
That's deep 😔
Nice
Woah

i have to pee in the middle of watching this video, 45 second time loss
I love this style of video, and I'd love to see more! This puts watching re4 runs in a different perspective. honestly videos like this and in general, runs being explained are what get me into a new game, because sometimes just dropping into a random stream with no explanation is overwhelming.
I like speedrunning, but I have to admit: I prefer RNG when I play "normally". A good game gives surprises to the player. I know speedrunners hate that, but I prefer surprises than "perfection". That's why RE4, from my point of view, is so good. Anyway, good video!
Oh yea it’s also personal preference I actually love when a run has a lot of rng!
@@WaifuRuns Yeah same here. I'm just doing it for fun though so I can see why top-10-ers get frustrated with it.
I like resident evil rng. It’s normally fairly smaller stuff like “this guy is right here now, have fun adapting.”
The one exception I have is that one officer zombie near the east office, watchman’s Office, and fire escape. He can either be down the hallway, by the east office door, or literally in front of your face as you walk in. Kind of lame
I think the best approach is what A Hat In Time does. The game has no RNG, instead it has seeds based on collectables (though those seeds could be based on anything consistent). That gives the game a feeling of RNG when playing casually, but allows for consistent behavior when speedrunners are doing repeated precision routing.
@@JohnSmith-sk7cg That's actually a super innovative way to have an element of randomness involved! thanks for the fun fact:)
"While this will probably never happen" - Those words have been uttered many times in speedrunning and subsequently shattered. LOL!
I hope I am proven wrong!
true, but mostly in regards to how long a world record will stand. Here he's talking about a theoretical perfect run. Though a new skip or tactic to save further time might somehow appear from the ether, i suppose.
certainly sound like a 1:20:xx Run will happen someday
We may have to wait DECADES before that happens.
New to your videos and these are impeccably narrated. I only watch speed runs and simply never get these kind of simple explanations of what goes into these runs. Great job!
"How DO magnets work?"
Probably the most underrated comment ever, lol.
Hats off to you, my friend.
I caught the same comment.. I'm curious , was it an ICP reference? lol
@@necropolisgames9093 Well, its the first video im watching of this channel, and i dont know the guy and if he has anything to do with WoW. But WoW Shadowlands is close to realease and Ion Hazzikostas a Dev of WoW, had interviews with some WoW Content Creators.

This was a really well done video! I love watching others blast through like it's nothing in games I enjoy, but learning about the different outcomes in situations is super interesting. What a coincidence getting recommended this while trying to get a good time in the Resident Evil remake.
There's irony in the fact that speed runners spend thousands of hours playing a game to be able to beat it in the least amount of time possible.
They spend way more time playing the game than the people who take their time and enjoy the game only to stop and never play again when they beat it once or twice lol.
@@jasonZoo123 The fact that there are those type of people who hate a game because "it has no replay ability" don't know the meaning of replay ability.

My man yuushi with the constant world records
Cool video man, It was really interesting/entertaining.
I also enjoyed learning about the RE4 speedrunning scene a little bit as well. I keep being blown away with how well speedrunners break games down to figure out every little thing they can in order to get better times!
That was some incredibely well made content. I've always liked to YT videos about speedrunning, happy to have found your channel! I wish you success.
I don't usually watch speedrunning stuff...but I wholeheartedly appreciate the effort and attention to detail put into this, great vid! :D
Glad you enjoyed! i hope to get you interested in speedrunning
I can guarantee you your favorite game has a Speedrun community on speedrun.com.
the moment when a game (2005) is so good that u can´t stop playing it again and again. .... i am not a speedrunner, but i finished this game multiple times (maybe 25 times) on 5 systems. I thought about trying a speedrun too. But i would be happy to finish this game uninterrupted without dying and checkpoint resetings...I wouldn´t be the fastest RE 4 speedruner, but it will be cool to belong to a group of RE4-feaks. One time i will upload a video too :)
Loving the format man! Definitely would love to see more of this content
Would love to see more speedrun vids like this. You're obviously very knowledgeable and passionate about speedrunning, and it shows in the quality of this video.
More to come! thank you so much!
This is such a great video, I didn't even imagine this rng existed in Re4 great job my dude, this will go viral
thanks so much!
Felt like a 5 minute video for me, loads of details, and honestly super motivational, and with each execution I can see your passion coming out into the youtube content. It's something to be proud of. I feel like Yuushi would probably appreciate this content. Watching you speedrun RE4, it does make sense why you would spend so much time in Cabin.
Great job, and looking forward to additional content from your channel.
Just want to say I love your videos and appreciate you putting in the time and energy to make them. Re 4 is my favorite so this is awesome
This was a really neat breakdown.
Great video!, would absolutely love more.
Meanwhile I get ecstatic just to beat a RE game in under 3 hours lmao
Same, buddy :)
(Although I destroy Mercenaries mode)
Thats actually pretty good if you werent trying to speedrun and use pro routes
like how clearly you explain everything, subbed! keep it up mate
Awesome video, very informative and fun to watch. I would definitely watch if you made more videos like this!
Most interesting speedrun analysis I've ever seen. Thanks a lot for the effort and sharing this.
0:45 1.8k hours into a game, and yet you still haven't gotten all the achievements, what is wrong with you?
those bottle caps are finnicky ok
I got the bottle caps on my first playthrough, is it meant to be challenging? I just did the shooting galleries with a controller and used either the pistol or SMG.
@@EraVulgaris- I couldn't beat it. I always missed like 3 targets.
@@magicmanscott40k I'm a PC player so usually shoot with KB/M. I would go in, do the SMG one, walk out and swap weapons, then do the sniper one but use the pistol. Then "finish" or whatever the option was. I seemed to get the max caps each time and it only took 4 shooting ranges.
@@EraVulgaris- wait what? I didn't understand any of that
I was scrolling through RUclips and saw this video by you. I honestly couldn't resist clicking it lol. I love videos like this and appreciate the effort out into the metrics. Good work
That was one of the most interesting and entertaining format I’ve ever seen about speedrun. I sure as hell would like to see more similar content !
Speedrunners : *gets 2 twitch viewers*
Speedrunning lore youtubers: *thousands of views*
for real more people should watch twitch streams of speedruns more, i mean i know a lot of very popular twitch speedrunners but the more the merrier
You don't understand reality. People don't have infinite time to watch attempts. Most people just want to know who's the best because time is money and both are very limited.
@@issadraco532 okay but who asked?
@@issadraco532 I understand what youre saying. but if youre going to watch a stream just for what the streamer is doing and not for the streamer themselves. then you lost the whole point of a stream anyways.
also your whole point could be said about people who watch sports. "hey i like this team so im gonna watch them every time they play so i can see them win" I find that sad too. but people can enjoy what they like.
Also you know people make money on this stuff right. but these top people beating the records make enough to support themselves.
@@issadraco532 You believe people in bubbles don’t have Bank? Hahah 😂😂 Enjoy those extra shifts you spoke of 🤣
Loved this video, would be thrilled to see more !
This is the question I never thought I cared to hear the answer for
first time viewing any of your content, absolutely earned my sub. bout to binge the rest! great video, definitely would love more of this with any game at all!
What a great video man, you broke it down perfectly, I only watch speedruns but even then I understood everything.
It's funny 'cause when I was little I completed this game like 4 times back to back and thought the RNG was actually "the game not reacting because I was doing it faster each time", now it all makes sense!
I just found a new channel to binge watch. You've earned a subbed.
I've always wondered. When a new game comes out, do speedrunners hit the ground running speedrunning, or do they take their time and play it and enjoy the story, and then start speedrunning?
depends on the runner to be honest a lot of people dont like routing the games themselves and perfer to wait for a pre established route to be formed
@@WaifuRuns that's so boring...

@@Grayfox111 can confirm
Kick ass video man. I recently started running this game on Game Cube. Your video gave me so many new strats its unreal. thanks bro!
I can only imagine how he felt after completing it. That's beautiful man
Super interesting concept. Please keep it up dude!
So 1 in 8 billions. I´m very impressed as he has "only" 15,000 attemps.
With 1 try, it is astronomical, with 15K tries is like winning the lottery.
If everyone on earth played it, at least one person would get the perfect run. However, whether or not the person can make use of it is a different matter
@@vbgvbg1133 Not really. 8 billion people could play it and not one get this run. It's like saying that if you flip a coin twice then you would always get 1 heads and 1 tails.
@@7777777777e Yes, that "1 in 8 billion chance" only matters if you don't reset or reload a save and hope for a better rng. If you get bad rng, for that chance to be true, you have to restart the ENTIRE GAME, even if you make it perfectly but failed (or got bad luck) at the last minute of the game.
@@7777777777e 1 in 8 billion makes sense, because every run with imperfect RNG is accounted for by that statistic. The 1 run it refers to is the literal perfect run, with absolutely no need to reset due to RNG, which means any run where people reset at any point in the game, falls into the other category of the statistic. Theoretically, if the player was a perfect player that didn't make mistakes (impossible, but let's just assume), and everyone was such a player, we would expect one person to get a perfect run when the entire world played once.
Basically yes, the odds actively change based on where you are in the run, but the overall probability doesn't care about each individual case, it only cares about the eventual perfect case given enough tries. It's expected value vs. actual
that 1 in 8 billion is for the "perfect" run. He actually never calculated the odds of the World Record. the video is kinda pointless lol
This was pretty good! I don't know what your other content looks like, but I'll have to check it out!
Great content! Really interesting, I hope you can do maybe more docummentary-style videos from other speedruns you know of. It's fascinating watching how you guys perfect your craft like this.
As a past/old school RE speedrunner, I cried when seeing Yuushi react to his world record claim in this vid. Omg the emotion.
OK, this video was pretty fucking sick. Amazing analysis Waifu, not to mention production was incredible and I could definitely use more speedrun content from you :D
thanks dyl! more to come for sure
Great video Waifu! Hope you keep dropping content like this about the games you run or even like "world record history" type videos as they're becoming very popular as of late. Wish you all the best brother stay safe
I LOVE THE JUGGALO REFERENCES XD
You tied the "how do magnets work" into the Gathering room comment perfectly! I have never felt so stunned I literally had to pause and thought to myself "damn did he really just do that?" Go back and listen again and yup flawless! This video is really well done and you earned a sub, like and comment and don't worry I am also sending this video to 5 people who I know will have a good laugh when they realize why I wanted them to watch the video XD
The dedication here is seriously impressive. Would love to see a 'final' version of that excel sheet.
Kudos for all the science you did here for us. Doing each of those things 50 times is a feat
this was a really interesting video! RE 4 is a game i really admire and I love hearing all the information on it and the dedication speedrunners have for this game!!
Never really been into speedrunning but as someone who loves RE4 the content was really interesting. Nice to see the video blowing up. Congrats!
The last few videos have been top tier, Waifu
I just want to congrats the amount of time you put into this video. Great work man, keep up with it!
Really liked how it was narrated and presented. Seamless.
Taking a dive in 2 ur channel now.
This video is very informative and well put together, well done!
Excellent video, I loved this new format of the WR breakdown. Devil may cry 3 next please.

When you go to make dinner, 20% chance of dropping a frying pan.
15 Second time loss.
how slippery are your hands that you drop your pans 20% of the time? oof
Idk what Yuushy said at the end but I can tell he was excited and overjoyed by this. I love this game and watching speedruns are awesome.
Love your commentary, thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Great stuff! Thanks for the vid!
Your channel is improving a lot recently. I'm glad to be part of this. Awesome video! sokoGasm
2k hours... that's it? why did I choose to play Dota 2...
i felt this comment in my bones. used to be 3k now grinding back from 2k and usually only lose when my team is useless or enemy smurf (but i suppose everyone says that lol)
currently got 3.2k hours logged
I have so many hours in Dota 2 I didnt realize it. Although I stopped playing when I reached 4.7k mmr. My goal was 5k but life happened.
@@Everest3000 I hope you hit your goal one day. My goal was 6k and I manage to get it 6.3k, after that just turbo mode for me. Less stressful and more fun.
This video was really really cool. U put so much time and effort into this video and it shows. I absolutely would love to see more videos like this (for like re2r,re3r, re7,eventually re8, maybe the last of us, silent hill games etc) this was super educational. I'm not a speed runner at all and I'm sure I am not alone in this but a video like this was extremely educational and really awesome to learn. Pppllllllzzzzz make another video like this! Doesn't matter what game! Thank u so much for all u do!
Very interesting my dude, I'd love to see more
Totally interesting that the chances of getting the literal perfect run are so low, it makes sense, but holy crap that has to be luuuuuuucky to even come close to. Seeing the breakdown of RNG in Yuushi's run showed how kickass his run actually is and how hard it was to achieve. Great stuff, man!
first time i've heard anemic virgins referred to as "unstoppable machines"
Lmao
LOL
Hey man, I loved this vid, thank you for putting so much time into doing the research and putting your time on it
Good vid format, like a mini documentary. Respect
oh wow, as a non-speedrunner I never knew that playing on the higher difficulties helps with speedruns because of the consistency with the AI. That's so interesting! Great video, although I am not a speedrunner, I still find it really neat!
Looks like RUclips's RNG brought you to me, have a subscribe, good video
Great video with lots of work put in, and the comedy was great in this.
Amazing video! Keep up the good work!!
I was happy of getting 01h58m on the Nintendo Wii. But man, seeing the amount of time, dedication, and understanding from speedrunners is something I could have never figured out all by myself. It makes my best run look like nothing.
Mad respect to anyone who is able to get into the top 100 for this game.
Yeah, these guys replay and try multiple stats over and over and over again to do these runs efficiently
You're like the DarkViperAU for RE4. I can feel the resemblance
Sick video! I really enjoyed it!
Excelent video man! As always! Greetings from Guadajara, Mexico! :)
The intro is hilarious imo because there’s GTA v speedrunners with over 8000 hours (IE: Darkviperau) even though it’s a newer game
Great video! I love that you explained that waterhall IS mostly skill based, relying on game knowledge and adaptation, and not full of rng like some people strongly believe, I guarantee that all top runners agree that it isn't the worst room in the game at all.
The crossbow priests always fuck me up but yeah the room isn't too bad
This video was great. Thank you and make more please!!!
Very enjoyable video, you're very kind to Yuushi.
Did you calculate all the probabilities by just trying over and over again on all the parts you mentioned?
yea basically i wish there was a better way but i did what needed to be done!
Wow this video popped off! Nice seeing people getting more popular and popular.
This was some great content. Instant sub
9:09 honestly I can barely get through this room on veteran only having a dozen or so playthroughs myself... I really couldn't imagine speedrunnjng through this room for thousands of hours. When you say it's a showcase of true skill, you sir truly mean what you say.
"Speedrunners are one of the most dedicated people that I know."
"Here is a list of probabilities of a gazillion events. It's not perfect accuracy, but I tried every one of these at least 50 times to get these numbers"
Damn you people are as close to machines as humans can get. I couldn't even be bothered to get that second quote right. :D
Don't forget about the part where the do trial and error on breaking the game
OR
Analyzing the game's code so that you can **skip** the entire game, case in point, Gta SA and Vice City.
