“Rules are meant to be broken.” How many times have you heard this phrase? How many times have you lived by this? Consequences aside, humans have a natural inclination to want to break the rule or push the limits of what is possible. This idea is related to record breaking. The Olympics, Guinness Book of World Records (do they still even make those?), even you and your friends obsess over beating or setting a “new world record.” If there is one place this applies to, it is video games. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Speedrunning is the act of trying to complete a game as fast as you can, but you probably already knew that since you are here. The first widely known speedrun was from (yes, the same year Thriller dropped). Mr. Todd Rodgers set a world record run on the game Dragster that was thought to be impossible by Activision, the company responsible for the game. He was even flown out by the company to prove he could beat the original time stated by Activision, and he did at 5.51 seconds, three-hundredth of a second shorter than Activision📖’s test time. Back then, you had to redo your record in front of someone to prove its validity. Today, Mr. Rodger’s (the irony of his name cannot be lost on you), could have fired up his Youtube or Twitch account to capture history. Today, we can cover the craziest and most epic speedruns in history in real time with the help of live video streaming. So, get ready for some extra wo💖rk distractions by checking out our list of 20 shocking speed run videos you have to see to believe.

20 Super Mario’s First 120 Star Speed R꧂un

Some games are more susceptible to speedrunning than others, and Super Mario 64 is the grand daddy of them all. Because of this game’s popularity in speed running, man♚y have tried to complete it in the fastest time while c💯atching all 120 stars. The first person to do this was Siglemic who did it in with 100% completion. The video is notable for kicking off Siglemic’s later dizzying attempts to best his record and his adulation at finally besting the record. Two of the most amazing things about this video: the sound of his insane button mashing (it does not feel like it is humanly possible to navigate a controller that fast) and the fact that he beat the final course and boss fight in approximately three minutes.

19 🃏 Ever Beat A Video Game Blindfolded? ꦍ

It’s easy to beat your friend in a retro video game with full vision, but imagine having to own them while blindfolded. Well, that is what a speedrunner did in June 2015 by becoming the first person to complete Super Mario World while blindfolded. The YouTuber memorized every move, enemy, and jump as well as calculated the timing needed to go from one world to the next. The high level of precision and practice necessary for this is nothing short than amazing. He also did this while streaming the playthrough live, quieting any haters who may think it was faked. As a result, his is one of the most viewed blindfolded speedruns of all time. Think about this the next time you think you “own” Super Mario World.

18 Learn To B🙈eat An “Infinite” Game

There is much discussion about Skyrim’s 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:never-ending plotlines. It is a huge game that at times feels “endless.” A YouTuber named gr3yscale not only figured out how to beat the game in under , but he also decided to provide his knowledge through a tutorial for those interested in doing it too. Obviously, this run is not a 100% completion of all missions or items collected, doing this would have made it nearly impossible to complete the game since one mission can easily lead to another. However, part of the charm of Skyrim is its almost endless gameplay and the fact that it always makes you feel like there is more to discover, so while you may 🐈be interested in running through this for the fun of it; you more than likely desire the “infinite” experience.

17 Wrap up Dark Soul🅷s In Under 50 Minutes

Much like Skyrim, Dark Souls is another experience that is best served as an “epic and long” story, but Twitch broadcaster, Kahmul78 accomplished a for this game that can take upwards of 100 hours to complete. He is smart and efficient with his time, even changing inventory during an early game boss without experiencing sudden death. It is something to see! There is one more legendary thing about this run…He did not use one glitch to beat the game. Many players have exploited a regular glitch to move forward, but this guy did it without any cheats or “assistance.” It also goes without saying that he would have had to avoid a lot of deaths to make this time. So basically…this guy is a freakish Dark Souls master.

16 ༒ ✱ A Mirror’s Edge Parkour Master In One Hour

Have you ever dreamed of jumping over buildings in France, the birthplace of Parkour? Perfectly securing a landing off of an abandoned café while downing a chocolate croissant and fancy French coffee? Me either (except for the chocolate croissant part), but Electronic Arts saw fit to give us a chance to experience something we probably never would…parkour! The game is beautiful, but also challenging, requiring numerous quick responses to enemies who make it difficult to defend yourself. Well, at the 2017 Summer Games Done Quick (SGDQ) an event that raises money for charity, someone was a showoff and beat Mirrors Edge Catalyst in . Since it is for charity, we will forgive this showing off video game bravado. Wait…He did it g🥃litchless? No, 👍that is unforgivable!

15 💃 Super Mario World In Under 16 Minutes – Flawlessly

There is something about knowing that people are watching you which can make you utterly choke. Think about it, that time when you could drop three pointers at half court, but could not even make a layup when your teammates showed up, or the time you could tell that amazing joke until someone was listening. People who can get the job done in front of spectators deserve mad respect. Again at SGDQ, a player completed Super Mario World in 16 minutes without any powerups. This would have to mean a perfect run as “little Mario” to avoid multiple time-eating deaths. The run starts at the and reveals how far peop🐼🐷le are willing to push the limits of what is possible in video gaming.

14 Two Sets Of Hands…On♋e Controller 🌜

At this point, people are getting excessive! There is a sticky controller game called Octodad that requires the player to control every extremity of the " octopus person," with a different button. It seems to be very similar to titles like I Am Bread, which heaps on the difficulty level. Two gamers at SGDQ (starting to see a trend here?), were up for the challenge and decided to do a . However, the catch was that each one would cont🎃rol one side of the controller. This run is entertaining because you can watch the players expertly control the right and left sides of an octopus man. They also take the time out to carefully narrate their actions throughout the run while flinging him across the map.

13 Bottle Rocket Into The D𝄹eku Tree

Imagine streaming for ten hours straight to find the perfect glitch in a game. Now, add to that the fact that you have no idea if this glitch even actually exists in the first place. Welcome to the lives of Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time speedrunners. Each year, players are testing theories through hours and hours of game play to shave off at least a minute of time from the standing world record of 18 minutes. Last year, was able to cut a full minute off of that by using one item: a bottle. Getting a bottle inside the Deku Tree blew the route open and allows players to “wrong warp” into Gannon’s Castle. The a♋ctual glitch is incredibly complex and almost requires a degree in comput💫er science and game design to understand. It sounds more fun than school anyway.

12 ♊ Stealing Cars And Taking Names 24 Hours A Day

Instead of this entry focusing on one record breaking attempt, it profiles a group of people who have created a of speedruns. The game in question is Grand Theft Auto. The first marathon occurred in 2014, and by popular demand, they have kept it going during select weeks throughout the year. They stream popular runs from older marathons, and will even showcase new GTA speedrunners. On their page, they have been known to hold events for live speedrun races for those who want to join in on the fun. Now, your criminal activities and questionable driving can be displayed for the world to see 24/7. Also, you have somethi💧ng extra to binge watch on those lazy weekends and holiday breaks, just make sure to keep the volume down a bit.

11 Who Said You 🐈Cannot Beat Two Games At Once?

Ever tried that pat your head and rub your stomach at the same time deal? Honestly, who can do this? Well, if you thought that was next to impossible, check out neo_omegon. He, like many of the other people on this list, is a speedrunner, but unlike others on this list, he decided to beat two games at one time. In a tool-assisted run, he was able to play and complete Final Fantasy 5 and 6 simultaneousl🅰y . Other than the t🌌ool he used to be able to play the games at the same time, it does not seem that he exploited any other glitches. His usage of “cutscenes” is masterful. While dialog is occurring in one game, he uses that time to progress in the other. This run is nothing short of remarkable, and it requires some laser-sharp focus.
