Guess you guys don’t get how hard that game is doing shit fast is saying something and practice meaning millions of attempts and failing it isn’t taken lightly
Asmongold’s buddy is that anime character who is always like “heh, you didn’t know about that [enter expository detail], did you?” while closing his eyes and adjusting his glasses.
It is funny to watch someone who has apparently never seen a single speedrun in his life... A professional video game player who doesn't know what speedrunning is... Or is this an act?
@@inthefade It sounds like bad acting to me. I have little doubt this guy knows what speed running is (hell, RUclips just about FORCES you to watch them if you have any video game related history). Most likely he's playing things up for an audience that may very well have no idea what speed running is.
@@Reelix I'd say it's genuine surprise. Honestly on a difficult and frustrating game Dark Souls is, seeing a speed run of the player doing things differently is sure to surpise others. As you can see, this speed runner is player a lot differently than a normal player.
Well if you play through the game as an average player racking up hours and hours of game time it's pretty surprising to see someone beat the game in 32 minutes. Asmon definitely overreacts sometimes, but I think he's being genuine here. Asmon might have been one of the worst Dark Souls players I've seen, so seeing an actual speedrunner obliterate the game should be surprising to him.
So as a summary, what I am gathering from the comments: Asmongolds reaction is so odd, because he didn't really know the concept of speedrunning as he has been living under a rock for the last 10 years only grinding WoW 24/7.
tbh i play most of this games people speedrun and im still amazed everysingle time a new wolrd record comes online to be watched....... and im not acting so i can get how he is so surprised (i cant even pull some of those tricks and ive being playing ds1 since launch) :v
Asmongold is a loser irl. He did not even clear original naxx like I did in vanilla. And he has way more hours played than me because I was smart enough to quit in MOP because Wow was quickly turning to trash by then.
What a based commentator. He truly understands how to say nothing and make it appear as if he has thoughts about everything. Of course, that would be illogical, but I love how he says words over and over. It is transformative, though and I can prove it. He took good, albeit, niche content and made it shit.
The first time he does this is in relation to the speedrunner making himself human. Having humanity active on you increases your drop chance, which he needs to get the weapon he wants from the Black Knight. The second time he does this is in relation to the RTSR: the speedrunner needs the Red Tearstone Ring because it'll increase their damage output when their health is low. The RTSR is crucial for speedruns because you can intentionally take damage, get your health into the RTSR range, and then beat up the boss without taking any hits and doing significantly increased damage.

And once I actually got into it I just couldn't put it down. The more I got into the game, the lore, the community, the speedrunning, etc... the more that I *Wanted* to get into it, it's like a self perpetuating cycle that never ends, and it's just such a fun game no matter how many hours I put into it.

18:24 Yes, man. That's how speedruns are done, you are trying to match all top game knowledge + top of your performance + top RNG in the game, to make the Ultimate Speedrun happen. They have hundreds of tries.
15:57 Asmongold picks nose. 15:59 Asmongold rolls up booger and prepares to toss it away. 16:00 Asmongold feels his rolled up booger and starts to have second thoughts. 16:00 Asmongold becomes too attached to his booger and realizes that it is a part of him.

18:25 hundreds? probably close to a thousand. streaming every day trying to beat the previous record.. Speedrunners are insane. and what you don't see in this video is the amount of preparation research and testing he has done. I reckon he's sat behind his PC with stats and a calculator figuring out the best percentage's of things like the stats to upgrade which weapon (halberd) and which enemies he needs to take damage from to get the maximum out of his tearstone ring. Speedrunners are amazing to look at, but once you consider the amount of time/research/testing it becomes a absolutly insane achievement.

@@samberghs6367 but... Maybe he had work to go to a few hours later, that's pretty sick! Oh wait, it wasn't uncommon for me to stay up to around 4 am and go to work at 7 without having some "really special event" to watch. 3, 6 or 9 hours of sleep is the perfect amount of sleep fyi. something with sleeping cycles.
He probably has. But since he played this game and knows how hard it is, he just didn't think in how many ways you could skip stuff. I've seen many speedruns but i also did not think DS1 could be done this fast.
@Rusty Juul I had the same reaction when i saw my first zelda speed run. Oh wait when you saw your VERY FIRST Speedrun you was like " not impressed did that before i even played the game" right ?
people in chat complaining about cheating LMAO all speed runs have been done with glitches in mind that is why they are speed runs LMAO its all about how fast you can beat the game by using the game only no third party software's everything done is done with the game itself that is what makes it entertaining because even if you know about the glitch doesn't mean its easy to recreate it a lot of speed runs are hard to mimic so its not really cheating its skill and dedication
The twitch chat are seriously dumb, it's an Any% run so glitches and bugs are allowed. So deal with it. I also feel like Asmon doesn't really know what speedrunning is when he says "why is this guy just running past the enemies without killing them?"
everyone has a friend like mcconnell, aliens could come to the planet and explain to asmon how the universe was created, and he would be in the back like, "yup, you didnt know that?"
@@viggecokarlittecola4655 Hello. 1.Maybe we just happen to enjoy the same kind of content, don't ask me to stop watching what i like because i simply won't. 2. I despise the horde because it's a shitty ass criminal faction since Cataclysm up to the current date. It's the second time that they've got a nazi warchief and they ain't doing shit about it, which goes against all the principles that the horde was built upon: honor. -They invade and kill unnarmed innocents while still talking about honor, they refuse any peace offers given by King Anduin, it's understandable with Sylvanas in charge. -Also their racials are not properly balanced, entire guilds moved from the alliance to the filthy horde because blizzard can't balance their game properly(or might be biased). In the current form at least if you fight for them, you do support evil. You can't act as stalin & hitler combined and get away with it. -Sylvanas killed soldiers(including horde) at battle for lordaeron and raised them as mindless skeletons , yet she has the guts to scream "for the horde" in cinematics. -One of the few remaining smart guys in the horde right now is Saurfang who cooperated with Anduin to take down Sylvanas. *IN SHORT*: *I'm not hating the horde, i'm just hating what the horde has become under two terrible warchiefs, because my first 2-3 years of wow where on the horde side, then i switched to the Alliance and enyojed it very much for the past 8-9 years* . (I hope that i answered your question and it's understandable because english is not my first langauge.) Good day!
People here in the comments. I don't think you understand how much of a struggle Asmongold went through to finish this game. It was his first Souls game and one of the most hilarious streams I've watched! 😂

the smug levels are reaching an all time high with everyone involved
Lighten up lol
samurai jack To be honest how did he not know about parrying???
Once is fine, but more than that was cringe.
18:24 Yes, man.
That's how speedruns are done, you are trying to match all top game knowledge + top of your performance + top RNG in the game, to make the Ultimate Speedrun happen.
They have hundreds of tries.
400IQ commentary:
"This took me a lot longer to do."
Yeah he's kind of a fucking idiot
15:57 Asmongold picks nose.
15:59 Asmongold rolls up booger and prepares to toss it away.
16:00 Asmongold feels his rolled up booger and starts to have second thoughts.
16:00 Asmongold becomes too attached to his booger and realizes that it is a part of him. Nothing that is apart of yourself should go to waste. Throws booger in a jar and starts collection. Later in 2019, Asmongold will have enough boogers saved up to heat his house for a week. Asmongold has cured the cold.
lol... this should serve as a warning, 'result of growing up infront of an mmo'.
He's also the best advertisement for birth control.
hahaha, fucking hilarious@@theblackbaron4119
Guy probs played metin 2 and got fucked.
Yeah and he ended up making 20k per month
@OMEGA LOL What? WoW is easier than dark souls , especially when we're talking about dark souls 3 and the ringed city dlc.
Just the fact that he can’t fathom that someone in a speed run wouldn’t kill every mob, and mentions it repeatedly, makes me want to die.
I mean, im not even an Asmon fan and you can just tell he's doing this for chat's entertainment. Like wake up, idiot.
@@Unintelligentful he needs to break down every little thing like that, he's breaking it down for his chat, they're so thick they probably don't know what's going on lmao
"wow he's skipping all mobs"
Yeah dude. That's why it's a speedrun. :l
Toxic much
@@jacob_756 that's not toxic what are you a snowflake? You must be if you thought that was toxic. He just pointing out the obvious
But is it even legit?? He said he had cheats on. Is that even alowed to be counted as speedrun?
@@cherrydragon3120 cheats on is a joke
Is that litterally the thing on your mind after watching this? Pathetic!
Friend starts to play DarkSouls
Asmongold: WTF?
*OH YOU HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THIS*
Whenever this guy goes outside for the first time he's going to have his mind blown
Such a moron
Looking like he just saw the resurrection of Jesus ....
Man, asmongold really puts on an act these days.. tough to watch
To be fair, his brain has been deprived of all forms of nutrients for at least a decade.
I love how at the beginning, Asmongold already looks surprised
I like just how innocent and wide eyed Asmo is during it all. So many preconceptions shattered in the face of just a decent WR run.
"decent WR run"
lol didn't he beat the record or something?
@@darr0w2 That he did, that's what WR stands for, World Record. Run could be improved though, by quite a margin. A minute at least.
@@th3TwistedLight Do it then. Oh, wait...
@@scottinbristol This is the remastered version, you can find way better runs on the original game, so yeah, it can be improved by a lot.
@@Unknowiii That's different though isn't it? Cause you can do jumps in the og you can't do in remastered right? cause of 30fps
7:09 someone in chat says "Whats the point in playing the game like this though? Who even gives a fuck about setting a world record in dark souls" and that's probably one of the most braindead comments i've ever read lmfao
13:32 that face of exited casual
omg pause it a few seconds after it
The no hit run guy failled once on the last boss of the last game. It was a sad momment. But he didn't give up and ultimatly he got it.
"once" LUL
@@TheMrLinkisawesome On the last boss of the last run was just once no ?
@@DakonBlackblade2 He failed once on the last boss, different order tho.
Hit by cinders lightning attack right
He literally just can't finish a sentence omg
Cringe at its most..
Asmond-I thought I was the literal god
*says wow about halberd damage after the second fight*
27:13 The only reason why I came to this video
peanut butter Pepega
lmfao
Pepega
0:21 this cave man don't know how to speedrun works
*takes off armor*
"What do you think this is? Counterstrike?" 😂😂😂
i'm not sure if he was just trying to be funny or if he's that dumb
@@slick3996 it was sarcasm
@@patrickimperial579 i get that but it's hard to tell in Asmongold's case
@@slick3996 it's his style lol. I recently discovered him a few days ago from watching him beat the nameless king.
@@patrickimperial579 i watch his wow streams here and there but you can see that outside of wow he's not really the smartest one and certainly not the nicest type of a person
Other guy: the ring makes him do more damage for the less health he has.
Asmon: HoW iS He dOiNG SO muCh daMAge
Asmon 10 minutes later: wait is the ring doing the damage
ela the record is 42 seconds better than my pb
nobody :
asmongold : pEaNuT bUtTeR
He kinda looks like a randomized character in dark souls.
This video accurately represents every human's reaction when they first discover speedrunning.
Technically the parry god is lobos, he killed Gwyn with punches ffs xD
18:25 hundreds? probably close to a thousand. streaming every day trying to beat the previous record.. Speedrunners are insane. and what you don't see in this video is the amount of preparation research and testing he has done. I reckon he's sat behind his PC with stats and a calculator figuring out the best percentage's of things like the stats to upgrade which weapon (halberd) and which enemies he needs to take damage from to get the maximum out of his tearstone ring. Speedrunners are amazing to look at, but once you consider the amount of time/research/testing it becomes a absolutly insane achievement.
You can tell by the comments of those chumps that 95% of the twitch chat didn''t even play the game.
He & his chat have just played and watched WoW for forever man. The guy has literally only played WoW for the last 10 years
They must be pretty braindead. Actually it really shows.
Its gotta suck not being able to tell that almost all of twitch chat is sarcasm.
@Dominus Ghaul Oof, I think someone got hurt by twitch comments
Dominus Ghaul someone got hurt by the twitch comments
Holy shit the guy in comms makes the most annoyingly redundant comments I've ever heard
Larsson “guys he doesn’t know that mechanic” or “don’t worry about that you don’t know how to parry” like ok maybe explain it or just shut up. really is annoying.
To be fair the guy with his mouth open was pretty annoying too
Compared to this guy being confused by everything I think comms man is a saint
the comms guy is McconellRet... I fucking hate that guy. He ruins pretty much every stream he is in
Mcconnellret shut the fuck up, dude.
Mom: we gotta go soon
Elajjaz: hold up let me just beat dark souls real quick
Now for the real magic:
Get Asmongold to play DS2, then have him watch that Any%...
That one still blows my mind
Lol I stayed up til 3 am to watch the ending of the stream. Well worth it.
You are a loser.
@@UnauthorizedExpression Says the guy insulting people on the internet.
StormCrown that guy is aloser wtf
Wow, 3 am, that must've been pretty insane for you.
@@samberghs6367 but... Maybe he had work to go to a few hours later, that's pretty sick!
Oh wait, it wasn't uncommon for me to stay up to around 4 am and go to work at 7 without having some "really special event" to watch. 3, 6 or 9 hours of sleep is the perfect amount of sleep fyi. something with sleeping cycles.
This guy never seen a speed run before? His reaction is so odd to me like he literally been living under a rock...
He's only played one game, World of Warcraft, for like 10 years. Speed runs is a new concept for him probably.
He probably has. But since he played this game and knows how hard it is, he just didn't think in how many ways you could skip stuff. I've seen many speedruns but i also did not think DS1 could be done this fast.
@Rusty Juul I had the same reaction when i saw my first zelda speed run.
Oh wait when you saw your VERY FIRST Speedrun you was like " not impressed did that before i even played the game" right ?
Yes
You would be suprised people dont know about speedruns some people dont even know that Twitch exist... I know MINDBLOWING
"living under a rock"
he unironically hasn't played or followed anything not related to Blizzard in over a decade, so yeah he basically has been.
asmongold: watches a guy speedrun
guy speedrunning: goes quick
asmongold: WAIT WHAT? what? wait what THE FUCK?
people in chat complaining about cheating LMAO all speed runs have been done with glitches in mind that is why they are speed runs LMAO its all about how fast you can beat the game by using the game only no third party software's everything done is done with the game itself that is what makes it entertaining because even if you know about the glitch doesn't mean its easy to recreate it a lot of speed runs are hard to mimic so its not really cheating its skill and dedication
Dante Groover yes
The twitch chat are seriously dumb, it's an Any% run so glitches and bugs are allowed. So deal with it. I also feel like Asmon doesn't really know what speedrunning is when he says "why is this guy just running past the enemies without killing them?"
Asmon is pretty thick headed, his chats even stupider, they're all just geeks who spend every day grinding WoW
"And he spins at the exact time that the guy does the thing".
Thank you Asmongold, this is the content I signed up for.
God that fuckin dude - "OOOOOOOOOH YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS" like yeah no shit dude.
10:43 "This took me a lot longer to do" ...
..yeah, it's a speed run
everyone has a friend like mcconnell, aliens could come to the planet and explain to asmon how the universe was created, and he would be in the back like, "yup, you didnt know that?"
He really pissed me off, so fucking condescending
I just cant get over the fact that the video of a guy watching another video has five times more views than the original
Leonardo Martins Because people want to see reactions rather than boring clips.
What’s the original or the speed runners name? Not a fan of this guy reacting to it
@@swampgurt elajjaz, his comment here should be pinned or something
What? So the "reaction" can take up a quarter of the screen? No thanks lol. Somehow a staged reaction is more entertaining than a glitchrun. Yeah ok.
ByeHai ela is entertaining as fuck cuz he knows what hes doing. this guy reacting is playing up his reaction and annoying af
This guy is the Jimmy Fallon of Twitch
I was there. PogChamp
Asmons's reaction to all of this is so funny and a bit salty! Love it
i see you everywere stop it and why do you hate horde so much
@@viggecokarlittecola4655 Hello.
1.Maybe we just happen to enjoy the same kind of content, don't ask me to stop watching what i like because i simply won't.
2. I despise the horde because it's a shitty ass criminal faction since Cataclysm up to the current date. It's the second time that they've got a nazi warchief and they ain't doing shit about it, which goes against all the principles that the horde was built upon: honor.
-They invade and kill unnarmed innocents while still talking about honor, they refuse any peace offers given by King Anduin, it's understandable with Sylvanas in charge.
-Also their racials are not properly balanced, entire guilds moved from the alliance to the filthy horde because blizzard can't balance their game properly(or might be biased). In the current form at least if you fight for them, you do support evil. You can't act as stalin & hitler combined and get away with it.
-Sylvanas killed soldiers(including horde) at battle for lordaeron and raised them as mindless skeletons , yet she has the guts to scream "for the horde" in cinematics.
-One of the few remaining smart guys in the horde right now is Saurfang who cooperated with Anduin to take down Sylvanas.
*IN SHORT*: *I'm not hating the horde, i'm just hating what the horde has become under two terrible warchiefs, because my first 2-3 years of wow where on the horde side, then i switched to the Alliance and enyojed it very much for the past 8-9 years* . (I hope that i answered your question and it's understandable because english is not my first langauge.) Good day!
This guy is just a human shocked Pikachu meme for 30 minutes straight.
Jordan Cummings *suprised pikachu not shocked pikachu dumbass
@@jawknee4088 cause he got da funni meme wrong
People here in the comments. I don't think you understand how much of a struggle Asmongold went through to finish this game. It was his first Souls game and one of the most hilarious streams I've watched! 😂
Now I'll make a video of my grandma reacting to my cat reacting to me reacting to Asmongold reacting to this speedrun.
Do one better... how about recording your grandma playing Dark Souls for the very first time and beating it under an hour and then record Asmongold reacting to her game play. "How did she do that? WHAT!?" LMAO
...waiting
This is Asmon's first time seeing a speedrun
O o O
"This took me a lot longer to do!"
Thanks for that commentary.
watching someone get impressed by speedruns is my new drug xD
*AND HE SPINS AT THE EXACT TIME WHEN THE GUYS DOES THE THING* gaming in a nutshell
"That's what happened to me, I got hit"
In a darksouls game
NO WAY
Reaction Guy: OMG, look at that yellow fire orb dude. Holy fck dude. And it feels hot and shiny. And it's in the sky? Wow dude!!!
Other Guy: Yea you skip it. But that's the SUN.
