Casual Streamer Accidentally Finds HUGE Skip That Speedrunners Missed
Ойындар
Glitch Hunters are some of the most thorough investigators when it comes to speedrun skips, but even they miss things that seem obvious in hindsight. Today we look at the story of how a casual streamer find a skip by complete accident that had the speedrunners in a frenzy trying to replicate it.

Something similar happened to a game I run once. A person came in chat when I was running it and told me of a glitch they found by accident as a kid when they played the game far far too much. They explained how to do it after a PB attempt died and I was utterly flabbergasted at how out of nowhere it was, it didn't use any known tech at all. Naturally we named the skip after them, though it helped that their name had the word "goop" in it and it was for a game about slime. Wasnt something they streamed but it was a sizeable discovery that got brought out of nowhere.

I've hopped into a few speedrun discords over the years to report on any weird clips I got in casual play. Sometimes it's not something they're aware of, but ends up being irrelevant to the route regardless. But hey you never know if you randomly struck gold, so it doesn't hurt to share your findings. I have discovered a 20+ second skip in a game before and it's an amazing feeling. Every record since has used it, so I know I've made my mark even if it's not me personally running the game.

This is why it's so entertaining to keep up with speedrunning. At any moment a random person can come out of nowhere and completely change the game. Most of the big skips in Elden Ring were discovered by casual players, but it still takes a lot of hard-work from the runners, glitch-hunters, and community to figure out and refine them.

I broke Trade Wars 2001 by accident. I found a bug where upgrading a port to its maximum capacity failed to deduct the money that was supposed to be paid. Any other amount did not trigger the bug, it had to be the maximum amount, so it required gathering a few million credits first. But upgraded ports are great for making money, _and_ it gives you good Karma. So this opened up a nasty way to play the game: go evil early, play it profitably, and then upgrade some ports (you can use the same money over and over!) which pretty quickly flips your Karma back to positive, at which point you can go collect all the benefits of being a Good Guy! I reported the bug to the author after discovering it on my own BBS. I got no response. I shared the knowledge with some other local BBS owners who confirmed it and told the author... and got no response. So we taught even more people and proceeded to wreck games all over the country. _We never got a response._ Well, not officially at least. But Trade Wars 2002 came out about three months later and didn't have the bug...

I think it should be considered that she might not in fact be the first one to run into this, but rather that she's the first one with both knowledge of speedrunning AND a audience to cater to. There may have been a handful of persons who have accomplished this since the game was released, but simply not have known its value. "LOL GAME B BUGGY" giggles are had for a few seconds and life goes on for them. Even if such a person had somehow bragged about this, who would have believed them without video evidence? Hell, unless it was streamed, people might just think it is some cry for attention since people edit fake shit together on KZread all the time. "You clipped through that door while hundreds of speedrunners haven't discovered this despite wanting it to exist? Sure buddy, and pigs fly, too." Boba would still be lucky, but I don't think the glitch discovery itself is as rare of an event as it is. What is noteworthy though is for all those things to happen to one person, but c'est la vie. Life is weird that way.

Shame yogs history is sucky. Kickstarter?
Casuals and new players are always needed because in anything any game any hobby you'll always find something new by accident before you'll find it by looking (more often then not) a new user allows for new exploration since we all play games different but in a speedrun we tend to try things in the fastest way possible. Causals however purely play for fun and to entertain themselves of others
alright, the boba skip song is 100% the best part of this!
With the increase in people streaming games casually we should see an increase in glitches like these being found! Great video keep up the great work!
The Yogscast is my favourite thing on youtube/twitch, Boba is a fantastic addition to the network, lovely.
Just for those who don't know, the Yogscast is an OG KZread channel based in the UK, right up there with Smosh, Pewdiepie, and Ray William Johnson. They've been making videos since 2008, 2 years before Pewdiepie started his channel. Boba here is a new member, among the influx of new members brought in over the past 2 to 4 years. They started out as a World of Warcraft guild, the Ye Olde Goone Squad, which was later shortened into YOGScast when they branched out into other games. One of those game was Minecraft, now that may sound mundane from a modern perspective, but the thing is, they were among the _first_ to make Minecraft content on KZread, and what's more, the simple let's play they started turned into one of the most famous machinima series there was, Shadow of Israphel, standing right alongside Red vs. Blue during the height of its popularity. There's more I could talk about, but the gist is that they pioneered a lot of what modern KZread is. Unfortunately, they've gradually fallen off in popularity, no thanks in part to members leaving over time, like Panda, and others leaving due to scandals, like with Sjin, or just gradually drifting away from the brand like with Sips and Inthelittlewood. The main two heads, Lewis and Simon, are still front and center, though.

IIRC, Vinesauce Joel found a skip in a bootleg Pokémon platformer game, where he could get stuck mid-air and would automatically hover to the end Granted, It's not really breaking world records when nobody else is running the game, but it was casual streaming
I actually had a *very* similar glitch earlier this year. I was trying to figure out where was I supposed to plant the C4 in the armory before the Revolver Ocelot boss. Trying to place the C4 on the bottom left corner of the map, I somehow phased through the wall, into the other side of the destroyed wall, except I hadn't actually destroyed the wall, and going back to the other side, it still wasn't destroyed. I chalked it up to an emulation glitch because I was unable to replicate it, and I was having bugs where sometimes I'd bug out of wall collision, stuck into random objects or even into the endless void, which was fixed after either changing the disc read speedup settings back to stock, or changing to a different emulator, forget which.
@ff3nyx
Жыл бұрын
I used to play this game a lot when i was young. I remember the game "breaking" without enemies and no music in a couple of places after phasing, like you describe. It used to happen right after getting damaged. This bug, it happened more than once in my plays, and i remember loading a previous save because you loose a bunch of bullets by skiping the top and rappeling. Most people that run in bugs are not speed runner's or streamers. Just gamers.
This is why I like to watch players that arent good at a game, mess up, get damaged, try different tactics than I normally use. They tend to stumble on some random glitches or secrets.
Dang that is a good skip! I also love to hear the support from the Speedrun community to delve into this accidental finding as a possibility and taking it seriously. So many communities get to a point where toxicity would have lashed out calling the accidental skip "faked" and dismiss it. This video isn't just about a speedrun stat history but a reflection of hope for humanity.

IT's a combination of a dozen different things. There are glitch hunters who do exactly what you're describing, but it would be hours of time to get to this room and test everything, and not something that would've been considered. It's the hindsight of the trick that makes it seem so obvious.
This chick not only made speed running history on accident, but she threw down a theme song afterwards to cement her victory in the epilogues of the internet.
I love how angry she got when she glitched through the door
ur videos are genuinely amazing!
This reminds me of a prison cell door glitch that was popularized recently in Golden Eye. A emulator speedrunner had done it for a while and he even had a youtube channel. All the pros play on the original N64, and one of them eventually stumbled onto his videos. Stuff like this kind of makes speedrunners feel like idiots. When you see a locked door, you should try to glitch through it. It feels so obvious.

This is not thefirst time this happened ,within these communities they generally name the skip after the person that found it(happens when a non speedrunner finds the skip)
nice video, only slight correction to prevent confusion is that the proper term would be hurtbox not hitbox hitbox = the vector/box/poligon that will determine set outcome when it's being active and come into contact with a hurtbox/surface/vector etc hurtbox = a normally persistent box that determine an outcome when comes in contact with a hitbox (unless there's invul frames present)
Gotta love a skip that's usable in multiple categories.
I remember watching Twitch the night that happened and like four different people I follow stopped what they were doing to go and watch the Boba Skip clip. It was wild because all four channels have different content but "streamer finds speedrun skip by accident" was something everyone could get excited about
I love her camera UI idea, never seen that before.
I remember randomly renting MGS from Blockbuster over Christmas break in 1999 and being absolutely blown away by it. All these years later, it's nice to see it still entertaining people so much.
Just to be clear. Is the Boba Skip Song now obligatory for MGS speed running?
Imagine you accidentally make an insane precise speedrun glitch no one found yet in a f*cking casual playthrough XD
that's awesome, so glad to see new breakthrough for a game as classic as MGS.
I already knew about the skip and it's history. I just clicked this video to hear the song again. Wasn't disappointed.
this is funny to see that a streamer/yt found the glitch/skip for a speedrun on accident and now it is a true skip for speedruns. This is awesome and the song she did afterward was amazing. Great to see her so happy, not excited just happy.
Nice video as always
I like to think I've accidentally found a speedrun-breaking glitch while playing a game and didn't know it (ie. something like this is obvious, but what if I got some weird glitch that made me freeze up split second or I dropped an item and it landed weirdly, yk, things that might be useful to some speedrun category I'd never have guessed would want something like that)
Great job on the video
always great to see small unknown streamer stumbling onto things
Before you dropped her name, i saw the still frame of her webcam and thought, "haha, she kinda looks like yogscast Boba... wait that *is* yogscast boba!" 😂 I had no idea she'd discovered something like this! thats super awesome
Snakes hitboxes expanding in not only smash brawl, but in his own games too.
Makes speedrunning history Boba "why do i hear Home - We're finally landing" Summoning salt enters the chat
It was thanks to this skip that I was able to beat the entire game without taking any steps!
She understood that this is massive for speedruns immediately
I had a similar experience with Resident Evil 3 years ago. It was during one of the first bits of the game when Jill runs through a door, I don't know what the hell I pressed on my console pad but all of a sudden I was at a different part of the game.
That song was amazing hahaha
I had no idea, great job boba
That's awesome, I remember finding a way to skip the second to last boss in the original metal gear on the NES. That was pre-internet though, and probably before speed running was a thing.
only boba could discover something like this, amazing!
super cool video... i love this kind o content =)
Playing it casually and then finding and getting a skip named after you! Awesome!
Imagine you are playing for thousands of hours tearing it apart at the seams trying to find the fastest way to beat a game and someone who isnt even a part of a community finds a huge skip by accident that has got to be simultaneously the most frustrating and funny thing to ever experience i love how the skip is still named after her goes to show how awesome the speedrun community is

Having a skip named for you is one of the higher honors in gaming, speedrunner or not
A speedrunner figured out a set up to do the skip with the SoCa gun... Which was exactly what Boba did when she discovered it. Just happened to line herself up the exact correct way with the correct gun.
The song was wonderful! :D
Side note but her facecam set up to look like the Codec is brilliant
Gotta respect the energy of "discover new bug > immediately improv song about it"
Nice catch
That fact that MGS is still being played today is testament to its god-tier story and general game design. The graphics even today are imo good.
I love that she made up a little song for it.
I love stumbling across hidden gems. I mean, what's consider a gem for me...meaning, it's quite possible the whole world knew about said gem already, but I had no idea, so I felt accomplished lol. To give an example - I used to play a ton of Final Fantasy III (or FFVI) back in the day on SNES. For those that know the game, when you meet up with the Returners, get Banon on your team and then get on that raft segment - the raft will go in an endless circle if you keep pressing "A" and never choose another direction. So, if you have a turbo controller (or a means of keeping the "A" button on repeat), and if you setup your fighting tactics on "memory", you can set it up so that Banon keeps healing in every fight. Seeing that Banon's healing abilities don't rely on MP, he never runs out of that ability and can heal indefinitely. Therefore you can grind endless without actually grinding. Just leave it over night for a couple of nights until you're at the desired level. Anyway, I felt so accomplished when I figured out that trick...although it's not a glitch by any means, it's just a cheap way to get to level 99 very early in the game without any cost to myself (except time). Mind you, this was before the internet and I was a teenager at the time. The good ol'days.
"The latest discovery" sounds like it just got discovered, but it´s been almost a year old by this point. lol. Nevertheless, sweet video.

By definition of the precise language used, it is the latest discovery. Regardless of how much time has passed, this is in fact the most recent discovery in MGS.

@@phant0mdummy There's been some other stuff, a guard manipulation during Escape on PSX, some small cutscene skips on PC involving its weapon equip hotkeys. There's also a couple skips involving the PC area reload glitch on Very Easy, such as reaching Ninja without the Nikita. This is definitely the biggest universal (relevant to every glitched category on every platform) find since vent clip (which enables Any%) and biggest find full stop since GME (which breaks PC using the PSG-1), though.
