- FAQ: What's up with the jumpy teleports at the start of room 3 and 4? Is this spliced?
A: Nah, in the options you can set up a quick restart button for the room you're in, and disable the graphical effects for it. So when I enter those rooms, I press quick restart and the game starts me further forward than if I ran forward normally. Check out more katana zero speedruns and you'll see it's a standard thing. I sincerely appreciate people's commitment to wanting speedruns to be honest so no worries if you got tripped up, it looks super sketchy lol.
Q: Your game doesn't look anything like mine, the sword slices are super smooth and there's no screenshake.
A: There's lots of graphical and gameplay settings you can change in the menu, such as disabling hitstop when killing enemies and screenshake etc. I'm using settings that let me play as fast as possible.
Q: good job guy dude bro!
A: thanks, though I'm a woman. but I get people just default to masc words in the comments.

For those of you wondering why Gamma Nulls like Fifteen and Zero use swords, it’s because you don’t need to reload a sword, and there are just so many people to kill
Looking at how slowing time and time-jumping works in the game i always assumed that its just more dangerous to use guns. It looks like the Nulls cannot warp time anything outside their touch so the moment bullets leave the gun barrel they are no longer within the time-warping powers of the user which would make more difficult to move around and keep those bullets in mind. We can see that during the fight with the headhunter as she is not using her SMG with time powers instead she uses the laser gun with her time-warping abilities.
@@user-eo2hk2it5i Admittedly this info isn't immediately obvious, but NULLs aren't reality warpers, instead they are somehow able to create an infinite (or simply so large it's effectively infinite) number of incredibly accurate simulations in their minds within fractions of a second. What we play are simply one of those attempts, and it's implied in Headhunter's dialogue that there are some attempts we aren't shown or maybe that they just exist only in the other NULL's mind. The flashbacks shown after completing a level are the successful attempts actually being executed. But NULLs aren't impossible to kill or trap and their simulations sometimes fail as shown by the mine in the Mansion level, the suicide bomber in Bunker and by the Psychiatrist's hallucinogen (the way that drug works is pretty strange; maybe he wore it as perfume that day or something?).
But HeadHunter is a Gamma Null too but she uses weapons
@@tetsukitaiga7599
I don't think Headhunter's a gamma. In the dialogue she never refers to herself as one. It's something along the line of "so you're a gamma just like Fifteen." Judging by her skills she was a beta or alpha most likely. She was able to compete against Zero pretty evenly, but in a prolonged fight his simulations were ultimately stronger.
@Creatotron Well we don't know if Zero isn't, he is shown to have amnesia so he might unlock those abilities later on, who knows.
And as for changing perception... well, i don't know if you guys remember but 15 is teleport-slashing and Headhunter is just teleporting very quickly in different locations, no way this is just "perception" as we do see (at least 15) on the camera tapes just teleporting. This is a power
This guy playing is so good that it look cinematic
This feels like the real dragon, well done!
-Shouldn't we have beefed up security?
-Nah, it's probably fine.
*Famous last words*
Also, 0:25 that's probably the most badass thing I've ever seen someone pull off in KZ.
Man, I can't even seem to swing the sword this fast....
There's a bunch of option settings that effectively speed up the game for speed running. Things like turning hitstop all the way down makes it so the game doesn't freeze briefly every time you kill someone or deflect. It feels super different and when I first changed it I died a million times before it felt normal!
@@FayeOkay Yeah, I did turn that off after watching a few videos. It feels very different.
Jesus Christ, if this version of Fifteen faced off against Zero, I'm afraid even even with you at the controls of the latter he dead.
Badass. Probably how the Dragon canonically did it. Lol. Also, that moment at 0:24 was sick. Nice deflects.
I also tried doing this. I felt orgasm
Man such inhuman reaction I never would have thought you can actually do it that fast.
The key is lots and lots of retries!
@@FayeOkay MY question is how do you swing katana so fast i cant seem to swing it as fast as you.
@@sklepbezschodu8102 ah! I forget all the exact settings but you can change a bunch of stuff in options. For example, I believe I have hitstop and screenshake set to 0, restart vfx off, quick restart on. That's why there's no 'stop' when hitting enemies, and no fuzzy effects when rewinding.
@@FayeOkay Thank you this helps me a lot .
by far my favorite tape in the entire game. mastering it on this kinda level is a wild dream of mine..
0:24 Speed 0.25 MATRIX
You really GAMMA zero....
bro its fifteen, zero is main character
Fim, destroyer of worlds
I'm going to wholeheartedly accept this title even though at time of writing both my records have been knocked off the top of the leaderboards, hah!
Fim i can best the normal game in 22 min, i think its more about being good in general than truly comparative
that's amazing bro)
0:24 Matrix
Are you on chronos IRL?)
З.Ы. Moment in 0:25 really impressive.
@ShardCCG Spam Same buttons.)
@ShardCCG Spam Ну ок.
Damn bro that was insanely quick and sick
really nice, dont think you can go much faster
Thanks! I think the two clear time saves without new strats are: Near the end of room 3 if I waited a tiny bit longer before rolling, I could kill the guards in the doorway with a downward slash and fall to the bottom floor cleanly but that whole floor is very tight on timing. Room 4 the movement and kill on the floor 3 guy is a bit loose.
The first thought that went through my head when you deflected all those bullets was “now this is the dragon”
With that reaction you might aswell call yourself a Gamma Null irl
bruh the song didnt even start yet
You have to be insane to be able to pull this off. Repeating the same level over and over and over again so that you can beat it like this.
A fourth of this speedrun is dialogue.
You must have spent a HOT MINUTE on KZ to be able to react that good and memorise the floor that well to know how things will play out
Specifically the floor at 2:25 like damn you gotta chill
And hopefully with the 3× larger expansion we will get to use the Dragon some more which I'm sure you'd enjoy
Yeah! In fact, I only really learned this level because the dragon is so cool - I can't speedrun even one other tape lol. Dying for more flash step shenanigans in the future.
Ladies and gentlemen, canon Fifteen
I love how in 0:35,
He dashes all the way up for the guards to get his attention and start butchering them at the door lol
Nice work, woman.
Damn that's impressive, good job !
cool
Nani the fak? I have nothing to say. Well done, bro
Me that just end the omega flowey AH AH I MEAN the secret boss and i see this and i feel like
Oh... freak...
How?!
Holy shit.. YOU CRAZY!
0:22 ayo theres a cut over here
Can you make a tutorial video about bullet deflecting ? I always miss timing of bullets , always swing sword before the bullet fired
oh i'm sorry, i missed this! not played katana zero in a long time so i wouldn't be much use i'm afraid. i can tell you that you're on the right track because i had to die a ton before i got anywhere near consistent with the timing. game's just hard! good luck, you got this.
Real dragon
0:25 how the hell
Holy shit dude
What the fuck i cant even keep track of him
Nice Game Play
0:25 howw?
0:25 thanks I came
Damn how do you dash like that without showing a single milisecond of slowing down?
There's a setting in the menus to make the dash length default to maximum! So if you tap the button you'll go wherever you're headed real quick
@@FayeOkay Oh I see, thanks alot man!
Now I can boost up my speedrun, I'm at 57 seconds, Im boutta beat ya!
Jk
Awesome vedio but i have a quick question
Why after deflecting bullets you have zero camera shake andits goes smoothly?
hey, i'm a bit late but in case you're still wondering:
if you go into your options settings, there's a lot of visual options you can change. i did this years ago so i don't remember the exacts but i've turned screenshake off and probably for the smoothness you want to turn off "hitstop" as well. it makes the game run sooo smooth which also makes the game faster in real time!
oh also, i have 'quick restart' (or something like that) turned on, which makes it so when you press the retry button you don't get the rewind visual effects, it just instantly reloads the room. you can see that used at the start of a couple rooms since your initial spawn point is further back than the restart point.
@@FayeOkay thanks soooo much man you helped me alot your the best
hooooly shit ._.
Literally how non Null people watch the tape
that 0:25, how ?
💀
what chronos does to a man
juego muy bien
Wft
Bruh it takes me longer to finish the first screen
I don't think you use a mouse lol
You THINK he doesn't use a mouse?
Que acabo de ver?
Omg
Where's the speed run button?
I can't find it.
If I recall correctly, you just have to beat the game once to unlock it. Not 100% sure, been a while since I got it.
Пёрфект
Epic video cuts bro
in katana zero, speedrunners use 'quick restart' and 'disable restart vfx' in the options menu, which makes restarts look like that. The spots where I restart make me begin further forward, to save time. Check out good speedrunners and you'll see the same thing! Cheers :)
@@FayeOkay that would mean you cut at least two different gameplays into two, because the timer would stay the same (quick restart at 25 secs makes your next attempt start at 25). splicing, you just admitted to splciing.
@@phdonny No, it's all one run. 'Quick restart' reloads the current room as if you died, not 'restarting the level'. Not sure how to help you understand but try turning off restart vfx and setting a button to quick restart in game and try it yourself! You'll see how it works. edit: check the current verified best IL from speedrun.com and you'll see how it's all 1 attempt. Katana zero speedruns DO look sketchy if you don't know all the mechanics so no worries
@@FayeOkay I was waiting for someone to come up with this stupid ass suspicion xD Great job on the speedrun mate. I am around a minute behind you on this set
How do you activate the speed run mode?
Not sure, I started with it unlocked when it got added. Best guess would be to beat the game normally once.
0:25 !? These part looks fake :U
You can actually pull that one off if you practice, just hit the guard near the door, slash behind you to reflect and kill the Shield guard, slash the other way and slash other way again, then proceed
music?
The track is 'breath of a serpent'
0:23 edited lol
Lol no if you press "R" it restarts the level and the enemy position changes
@@Reverii nope he literali teleported
@@josmigel5135 if you look at 32 it happens again and the timer does not change on both occasions if you don't believe it nothing i can do about it
Read the description, genius
Bro you cheated at 0:32 there is a jump cut
