Portal 2 Solo Coop Speedrun (

Update 17 June 2013: I have improved this run by over two minutes. The new run (42:28.200) can be found at / 2436026 .
Partners are for scrubs. This run completes all courses of Portal 2's main cooperative campaign in 44:41.167, timed from gaining to losing control factoring out loads. (NB: The Art Therapy DLC Testing Track is not included in this run.) In order to toggle control between Atlas and P-Body, I use a keybind that toggles a cheat command called "in_forceuser". This is the ONLY cheat used in the run, and does not alter the game in any way aside from allowing me to easily toggle character control.
This was recorded live on / azorae and as such contains chat interactions and some strong language. Feel free to follow my channel if you would like to see more speedrunning content related to Portal 1 and 2 as well as other (mostly Source engine) games. If you have a question or comment about this run specifically, please post it as a comment on this video, and leave a like if you enjoyed the run. I feel like I've gone through the whole self-promotion rigamarole at this point, so I'll let the run speak for itself. Enjoy!

1:33 you are welcome

[@hazardbox274]

Who needs friends when you have strats?!

[@coolkid9d263]

I remember I had 2 controllers one each side and I was constantly switching between them.

[@AzoraeSpeedruns]

thanks, I was getting really bored waiting through the intro

[@hereagain9122]

u were getting board after 8 seconds?

[@wheatleyaperturescienceint566]

+here again he made the video

[@whateverppl1229]

hate to break it to you, it takes me 10s to look at the comments

[@8bitslime]

We can speedrun if we want to, but leave your friends behind, cause they go slow and if they go slow then they're no friends of mine.

[@pentiummmx2294]

i did some key binds to switch between atlas and p-body.

[@ShuckleShellAnemia]

I know, I meant a speedrun where you can't switch between the two, but rather control both simultaneously. It's been done for other games and is quite entertaining.

[@alexandergonchiy1298]

Oh please, please take a look at Swap Box Turbo by Nifflas - you'd totally love to play it solo.

[@rhyleymaster]

No, its depressing when you can play both players in a co-op at the same time, without switching

[@RayOfSunlight984]

when i said "solo coop" i mean a player and a bot,not a forever alone -_-

[@Expieriencethelegend]

Forever alone :(

[@whateverppl1229]

4:30 someone should tell Azorae that

[@coolkid9d263]

When you don't have any friends you do a coop run by yourself.

[@eahemming]

Wow he does the same thing i do... Speedcube while you wait for speedurn to wait. Whats your pb? mine is 12.67 seconds.

[@thevug3590]

Lol i thought i was the only one, mine is 10.83 :)

[@eahemming]

I've actually gotten a better time since then, which is 10.45 ;)

[@eahemming]

damn, and I didn't realize at the time but he also has the same piano set up as me :p

[@syndir0]

My PB is 9.87, I thought i was the only one too :D

[@Scrufyn]

How to make bunny hop?

[@Scrufyn]

***** Ok How to do bunny hop. Sorry I'm from Czech Republic :/

[@bonerpig6106]

You get a rabbit and then poke it until it hops.

[@Scrufyn]

Boner Pig Thanks :)

[@zombeats2160]

Boner Pig xD 8/8 m8

[@klooger28]

i should try this some more :o

[@scottm2]

Does anyone want to play co-op? I'm on xbox.

[@Lrtzeh]

I don't know if you are still up for it, after 10 months; but I'll take up on your request. My name on xbox is Lrtzeh.

[@RandomEevee]

@@Lrtzeh did you two play together?

[@ethanscheelk26]

I tried this once on my ps3 and it didn't work we'll. lol

[@elektrizon]

7 years later, but it needs pc so you can type in the console “Ss_map mp_coop_start” and then “Bindtoggle *_forceuser”
The * means type any letter. This will make it so you switch characters by pressing that key

[@LUVVEOUS]

5:34 True...

[@ShuckleShellAnemia]

Now do a "one controller" speedrun :P

[@ncla02]

This is rather depressing to watch.

[@ethanscheelk26]

Nice job.

[@bendu62830]

pour les français et francophone qui regarde cette video je 'l'ai proposé a speed game de realmyope et coeurdevandale

[@IanSKS]

He uses one mouse and one keyboard, he just uses a script to switch between Atlas and Peabody when he hits 'tab.'

[@ZyphLegend]

Not really a script so much as just a single command.

[@elektrizon]

@@ZyphLegend It’s ss_map mp_coop_start, BindToggle TAB_forceuser

[@FriskyPotat0]

Nice

[@irobbyyy]

I'll have you know. JOSH is not impressed, I am not rating, commenting, OR subscribing.

[@ZyphLegend]

Who's Josh?

[@cameronfranks6479]

[@elektrizon]

@@psyborg2433 You don’t even have to, I think you always do an air gesture when jumping
