youtube age restricted the previous one! I LOVE RUclips SO MUCH THANK YOU
RUclips is great (¬‿¬)
You love RUclips too??? I thought I was the only one!
The game is age restricted, isnt it?
RUclips sure loves their money makers!
Isnt the 2h barrier broken for like 2 weeks already by Spicee?
Distortion completing a sub 2 hour run just 6 hours after this was posted is just amazing 😂
All these runners with their insane times are just keeping the seat warm for Waifu when he starts doing pro runs, great video waifu can't wait for the tournament.
lmao Waifu is so slow compared to other runners. Check the listings.
@@bofrmoj8954 I been a little busy, organizing this tournament lmao, I’ll be up there soon
@@WaifuRuns u allow glitches in these speedruns?
Not exactly a speed runner guy but getting the sprinter trophy with 6 seconds to spare made me feel special
Love the videos and keep up the excellent work man ✌❤
Got the s+ with 3 seconds 2 spare, i was sweating lol
I have to say that, as a casual player but one that still likes to "go fast", speedruns are an excellent resource for learning things about games. Their drive (in a case like this, also helped by financial incentive) to break games over their knees goes a long way to reveal how games tick and are immensely helpful even for casual players.
what I'm saying is that I thank you for your service, players like me may never make money, but we get entertainment in watching the participants, and it helps us beat the in-game provided challenges and achievements. Not to mention the archival aspect of the timeline
Spicee is an absolute legend. He held the wr for most of the qualifier, and was the only runner to get a sub 2 hour in the first phase of the tournament
I fell bad for dist tho
15:05 "how useful heavy grenades are for this fart"
Awesome pre-tournament breakdown; cool information about the speedrun in there at the beginning too. Great stuff.
I LOVE RUclips SO MUCH too
As someone currently fighting my way through the game on Assisted mode, I know I'll never be anywhere near good enough to speed run this or probably any of the 100's of PS5 games I own lol So I especially have to thank you for this video and what has shown a fascinating insight into a speedrunning tournament, which I believe is the first vid I've ever seen that ever covered a tournament in depth! :) It's fascinating to see all the glitches and tricks used and the immense talents on show, but the bonus of the insider look at the tournament so far has been really entertaining and informative, so thanks! :)
rooting for you Bawk! love your streams and your YT vids!
I'm here after the tourne and it was a great competition happy to have watched it and learn a lot of different strats and congrats on the event as a whole waifu🎉
Nothing but respect for that gigachad that instead of getting demoralized about the FPS rule just went ahead a did another run only to end up PBing and on the last day available for qualification.
great what you put together here. so hyped
Thanks Waifu for putting the event together, it was such a blast watching both the runners & listening to the casters during each round!
i always watch you and uhtrance video's. glad to see he still had a solid time! been watching both your videos for this game since it game out!
Waifu. I enjoy your content so much. And I have to thank you for introducing me to sewerslvt. I never would've found out about the artist if it weren't for you. Your content is something that helps me alot on the daily. And so does sewerslvt music. Just an appreciation post for the impact you've made on my life
You have good taste in music. Got me groovin and learning about speedrunning.
This is going to be great!!! I was rooting for UhTrance but he called it quits and I saw how it was getting to him so I’m glad he did if it was causing him so much stress.
Me too. No game should cause someone that much stress. He needs a break
Shoutout to Hazeblade who dedicated everything to qualify. Man put everything he had on his last runs and I wish him well in his future runs
(Also I think Hazeblade was the last valid runner?)
I swear Capcom designed this game for Speedruns.
They 100% designed it with speedrunners in mind.
First village fight can be skipped by shooting the bell. The crane section can be skipped by throwing 2 heavy nades at it.
The turret shooting at Mike can be destroyed with grenades.
It's clear this game was meant to be speedran
Resident Evil has a timer. Thats what make these games replayable.
This is so awesome thanks so much for this Waifu!
It always amazes me how much planning, skill, and tenacity go into these RE speedruns. I could never do stuff like this even if I tried with a detailed guide.
You gotta give yourself more credit. You might surprise yourself if you tried 💪
I just seen your older re4 speed run video man I have to say you are a master at your craft, I wish I could get an s rank or s+ for all resident evil games I am horrible at them but love the franchise.
I find speedrunning to be interesting to watch.
It’s crazy how I’m so involved in RE speed running now that I know everyone mentioned by heart. 😅
Love that you always got the breakbeat drum and bass ripping in your vids
Man, this is going to be insane. This is going to come down to execution and any ace up someone's sleeve, though I'm not sure that will be happening.
No one has any aces that isn't known about, nullifying the ace entirely.
The checkpoint skip to skip mendez can be skipped by crouching holding back infront of the merchant table with your back against the wall and entering and exiting the merchant menu while still holding back.
22:52 made me laugh out loud
machine girl intro
Damn, now i'm hyped!
QTT is so humble damn
I’m so glad I decided I wasn’t good enough to enter. I love RE4 and 4make. But I’m just NOT good enough to do a speed run. I missed most of these developments on skips and routing.
You think speedrunning this game is under discussed? It's literally been the entirety of my RUclips feed for the last few weeks. There's so much buzz around all the little tricks you can do to save time. I think it's definitely helping to push speedrunning towards the mainstream because plenty of people I know who normally have no interest in this sort of thing are talking about it and taking part in it.
My boy spicee! Yessir!
Hey Waifu, I've been watching your videos for a very long time now (love your content!) and I was just wondering something about the rules that were set for the tournament. How were the pre-order items dealt with ? Were the participants able to use/sell the two bonus weapons or even use the pre-purchased cases/charms ?
Props to Orch, the winner. *You passed with flying colors, here’s your medal!*
Many applauses to spicee and Bawkbasoup for placing 2nd and 3rd. *I trained you well…*
And 六希夫 also did a great job too. *Move out and draw fire, soldier!*
Let’s not forget Dis: although the tourney didn’t go well as planned for him, he is still the CURRENT WR holder in NG Pro S+ any% !!! He has set the standard for all!!! *Witness the power!*
Didn't Spicee get 1st place?
What are you smoking? Spicee got first both times and Orch 2nd both times
I wish I could watch the event live... sadly I have to go work for 12h during the night :'(
Can't wait
Distortion2 is a fucking God I swear 😂
Nice choice with the Machinegrl music my guy 😂
Machine girl sucks
Dist is the new King!!
Love you waifu
i swear man, when you work on something that close to deadline.. things start interesting, i used to do my homework till 6-12 hour left and that pressure kinda give me some boost like what qtt did in this tournament (if im not wrong his nickname)
Can't wait till i see the "I won a RE4 speedrun tournament" video by Charlie (Penquinz0)
this is gonna be insane! :D also will anyone try the " villiage " door skip I wonder ive seen someone do it on NG+ wonder if you can do it on NG
We need recap of the two rounds for every interesting fails that happened.
On it
Dis my boy POG
@15:06 “Heavy grenades are useful for this FART.”
On one of my professional casual runs I took out the turrent with only one heavy grenade. Idk if this will help or something
Dist got wr, under 2 hours he uploaded it to youtube today, it was epic like this tournament is gonna be.
God I wish I ran the event now... I have 120 hours in the game and ran dozens of runs. I just felt pressured to enter my first event so I never sent a video let alone set up video streaming. My favorite game of all time and I didn't try to be a God gamer.
Hurts, definitely my favorite game of all time, the timeing of my age and childhood, thanks re4
Hazeblade is one of the more intelligent speedrunners. His Dufflebag Ashley discovery is great.
Only 30 mins to go, can't wait!
On Waifu's Twitch channel?
@@Philosopheraptor probably already figured out by now, but yes, either on Twitch or right here on RUclips!
I would have loved to do the speed run but I only have it on PS5. I wonder if Waifu would do like a multi category speed run race?
15:03 he says fart. You’re welcome
Yayy bawk is in
I've never seen a :59 and I never will
Waifu do you know if we can do the door skip glitch on console?
I guess this was made before Spicee got a 1:58?
I don’t consider myself a speed runner by any means but I’m trying to go for the S and S+.
What’s w all the pausing? Apologies if you mentioned it and I didn’t catch it.
Yesterday Dist did a 2:58 or 2:57 I think. Was there but dont remember time.
Why are you only allowed to mess with the framerate in specific places?
i will watch this 2 times of how good the editing is
My best time was 2:30:30, so i'm happy with that 😎
Got my boy Bawk and Dist as a 1 - 2
It’s hilarious how many different ways people have found just to skip Mendez lmao
Why was FPS glitch banned but sniper glitch allowed? Seems unfair.
fps mechanics are generally not used in speedruns since they can encourage a pay to win ruleset since people will less capable hardware cannot perform the techniques with the same consistency as people with more powerful rigs.
@@psiryn.1135 Thanks for the explanation. Was the FPS knife glitch generally banned from RE2?
Wait is this a re-upload because i already seen it
Yes
Me with my 4 hr run thinking I'm fast af 😂
LONG LIVE BAWK ISLAND! 🐔🐣
I just watched distortion2 dethrone spicee.
how ppl got these glitches so fast?
You think these were oopsies made by Capcom? Nah bro, More than half of this stuff was deliberate! They looked out for everyone with this remake from casuals to completionists to speed runners.
Mika Jougasaki and her bratty little sister spotted
Ashley needs a hot little hentia outfit for when your playing in Japanese
you can kill two salazar with two golden egg from what i've seen but that was on normal not sure on professional
He dies to 2 golden eggs on pro
Second golden egg is just annoying to get, would definitely add a couple minutes for what you could just do with one egg and a couple magnum shots
@@Joseph-zz9gj yeah thats what i thought too it isn't exactly an optimized route , i think it'd be much better on ng+ pretty much the same set up from the og 4
@@jonahbrown5669 i tried it on pro right after commenting and yep sure does . feels good to beat salazar with 2 eggs
I have to be honest, I was a Resi 4 speedrunner, but i've given up on even attempting to run R4R. Within 12 hours, the game was being workshopped by hundreds of people in discords, creating skips a regular person never could. Why even try when you don't have 12 hours a day to dedicate to just playing? The internet has killed gaming.
Just wait till other people figure it out then learn the run? I don’t get your point
The rise of streamers and the monetization of people's attention has really changed the feel of the community for me. I must just be old. It's a strange feeling to watch thousands of people jump into a hobby because they have a parasocial relationship with someone who has a financial incentive to play video games 12 hours a day. The flavor of the month e-celebs will move on, and then the game will be "dead", or at least, the community will be the size it would have actually been, had it not been inflated for hype and money. It's just my 2 cents. Still an amazing game.
yey zombies and shit
I mean did anyone really think spicee or dist wasnt going to win? We all knew they were going to
You never know, I won’t spoil too much but dist didn’t even make it to finals
@@WaifuRuns oh damn i didnt know that im excited to see how it plays out!
there is a skip for big cheese
The grenades in re4 suck compared to other re games
Speedruns are a guilty pleasure of mine. Instead of appreciating video games as an art form, these people just gobble video games like they are a fast food-eating, slobbering cow that should eat some vegetables from time to time.
Just my opinion though.
H0lly in nem waifu video ich glaub spinn xDDD lets goo
Spice won ?
Watching it again not only because it's informative and entertaining but also to support our one true sex God, waifu
For those who are really familiar with the rules what do they do when a lot of the glitches have already been patched?
I would assume since they're playing on PC they have figured out a way to play the original game day one release version and use that one but I could be wrong
Most speedruns that are at all taken seriously play on downgrades versions of the game. Pretty much everything even sm64
I personally prefer glitch-less runs because then you get things like elden ring speed run. Who can glitch at the first 2 minutes of the game the fastest to beat the final boss in sub 5 minutes.
Glitches shouldn't count cmon now lol
Why not?
@@crazydomino5041 obvious reasons ots not a real run, not nearly as challenging
to call it faithful is completely wrong
hello anime girl
If you use glitches, you're not a real speed runner 🤡
"PC Only" - why? What is the benefit of eliminating 50% of the potential playerbase except for "Pc MaStErRaCe"?
No, rather than try and inflame things and get all worked up, why not do some background for yourself on it - don't get annoyed at things you don't understand, makes you look a right idiot. Consoles can't perform, or reliably perform, some of the tricks, skips, and glitches, due to how it functionally works compared to PC - console runners would stand no chance against PC runners. You could ask why not ban certain glitches, skips, etc.... but that would be a huge list that would take runners a huge effort to keep track of what was/was not allowed, and it would also be a way slower run. Whole point is fastest runs/under 2 hours.
If ignorance was a comment, it would be yours
Because running on consoles is fucking garbage and hardly works. Nothing is stopping you from running on consoles, but communities setting up their own events are allowed to have their own rules and restrictions.
Lewis where are you? dont run away 🤣
How can someone BE SO DUMB?
Full disclosure this falls squarely in the pet peeve category, but I'm begging RE4 speedrunners to pronounce El Gigante correctly. Just like how in English, a g makes a j-sound when before an i or e, the same happens in Spanish, only its the SPANISH j-sound. So El Gigante is pronounced El HE-gante (he as in he/him)
I'm gonna pronounce it as El Gi-gan-tea 😈
Dislike for pc only love exclusivity
No charms is so stupid. Embrace the RNG, nerds.
imagine crying over a speedrun, cringe!!!
@7:40 why bring up his segmented run like it compares to distortion2s 4hour run in one go, it's literally incomparable 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
potential for controversy with how you've set this up. Specifically the head to head battle. It will be 99% rng like all speedruns.
