Huge thanks to many of the speedrunners in this video for helping me fact check things + making this video possible! (Their channels are in the description) EDIT: apparently there is a weird long *beep* noise at 3:23. I can't remove it now since the video is uploaded, but I literally had to rewatch that section 20 times to hear it. Either I'm losing my hearing or my headphones are broken lol

I’ve been waiting for this kind of video after he didn’t post for two weeks. I was one of the people who stayed watching him play and before the sub 7 was 10 minutes old I saw the video in my subscription tab for the last couple of streams he was very unlucky with jcak

"broke the tower" doesnt look very broken to me lmfao
to be honest, it was one of those things you could expect we got a dashing community, we might get a platforming community just as well
Never in my life did I think geometry dash would offer a place for speed running but here we are.
I find it funny that robtops counter to people abusing bad spike hitboxes to do skips wasn't "Fix the hitboxes", it was "Add sneaky spikes"
@Zejoant

Its not bad hirboxes. Its called good game design.
This feels like those JToH videos and i love it ❤
6.576 Seconds is gonna be the next best speedrun. that's my prediction.
GD Speedrunning is truly revolutionary
Pretty awesome video! However, about the coyote time, that was a feature in Update 2.1 that was removed when 2.2 came out that was readded in 2.201 due to community feedback
Man, I don't even give a fuck about this game, and the video was too intriguing that I actually watched it full. Your storytelling is impeccable!
Pretty good video, keep it going
You can tell how much you're trying not to say "but then, Alex got this run"
Sir, another GD player is coming for the second Tower!
3:24 beautiful.
Great editing for such a small channel
super underrated, new sub

10:39 i might be stupid, but cant you just delay that jump by a split second to get on the moving platform without having to then jump again? it looks perfectly in reach
@RispGD
2 ай бұрын
Sadly you can't, they tried lots of methods during 2.2 but the jump was impossible. In the latest version though its barely possible to do the jump and it gets consistent with time
I hope robtop designs the next tower floor with speedrunning more in mind so the skill ceiling is higher
Genuinely underrated!

'Recently added' Meanwhile 2.2 being released in December last year
omg i love the use of demoscene music

I didn't really mean to copy him tbh, I just made whatever felt the best for each part of the video. But yeah I see where your coming from
I never really thought geometry dash was much of a speed running game, but more a an achievement game of beating harder and harder levels
New video!! Gonna go crazy ;)
Finally you back❤
Sir the second speed runner is coming
great video dude
Boss Fight 1.The Tower Boss Fight 2.The Tower Boss Fight 3:Explorers
Amazing video!
coyote time to my knowledge was always in the game (or at least before 2.2 came out), its just that robtop removed it in 2.200 for some reason and added back in 2.201
why is this channel so underrated
6th january is actually my birthday when the update 2.201 happend
If you told me that geometry dash speedruns would ever become a thing 7 years ago I would have never believed you lol
This video is very nice quality:thumbsup:
This is a painful copy of summoning salt and witrual
I think its 100% possible to make like a 6:50 or sth, we just need to find other shortcuts. Very good video greets from argentina!
Floridaman approved of this video. Needs more recognition.👍
7 years of development only to be beaten in 7 minutes 💀 great video
geometry dash and trackmania speedrunners are the most clinically insane gamers
It's been like 4 months since 2.2 came out and human limit speedruns are done. The GD community is so strong
Look mom, I've made it too🙀🙀
As a person with the 97th [Maybe more now] place on the sewers ranking as of currently holding on in the top 100 for 2 months, i can confirm we found every skip
The boss actually feels like a boss in this speedrun
"with each of them only taking a few minutes to complete" IT TOOK ME MULTIPLE HOURS TO GET PAST THE LAST ONE'S BOSS
@RispGD

I should have probably mentioned that I was mainly referring to the first 3 levels 💀. The last one is definitely alot harder lol
The crazy thing is that beating us possible with good rng and hitting the jack cycle
Alex definitely deserves the record.
There’s a glitch where if you enter then leave then renter the bit with the orange balls on tower 4 then one of the balls glitch out which could maybe save some time
The world record was literally set on my birthday that is insane
I died a little inside when you described the levels as "pretty easy for most players" (maybe it's just because I have practically zero platforming experience aside from Celeste, but I just cannot get used to the physics)
@RispGD
2 ай бұрын
honestly, I would say level 1-3 are the main easy ones, but the last level is pretty hard because of the bossfight in my opinion.
I think you used the word "yet" in a wrong way early in the video, and in a weird way a little before half way into the video. Nice video apart from that. And yes, as you say at the end, the most important thing is that you enjoyed making it. :)
I've done the first "skip" mentioned in this video when the level came out once. Never knew it was actually this hard because I'm ass
well he skipped the jack part but still managed to get a sub 6 is amazing!! i feel proud for this community!!!
the satifactory music at the end lol
as someone who's skill level barely allowed me to beat 9 circles, what the hell is this tomfoolery???
