    honestly the most impressive feat of the soulsborne challenge is the hurdle of DS2s infamously shitty hitboxes haha, theyre extremely janky & unfair compaired to the pixel perfect hitboxes of the rest of the series, can get caught out by reallly unfair distances & clipped by attacks that clearly missed you. the b team did a shoddy job on it, plus you can only move in 8 directions, its just not optimised or as flawlessly designed as the rest like with 1/3/BB/sekiro you can watch fights in slow motion and see attacks miss by millimeters, grazing past the character model in amazingly fluid dances but with 2 when you go slowmo you'll see massive gaps where people still get hit haha

    ". . . will likely never be preformed in a real speedrun" There are so many speedruns WRs that rely on what was once thought to be TAS possible only. I guarantee that now this trick has been performed, the world record will one day rely on it being pulled off as the final act of the speedrun. It might take some time, but eventually it will be the only time save left, and once that is true, speedrunners will pursue it, regardless of how insane it may seem.

    One such "technically possible" trick is in Quake, where the final map has a trigger to exit the level near the ceiling in the boss room (According to the source files released by John Romero in 2006, "This is so in Deathmatch, exiting the map will go to the start map.") You can reach it using a combined grenade and rocket jump, but it's rarely ever attempted in single segment runs because it's so difficult to get the required height without dying and it's right at the end of the game. Since it allows you to exit the map without killing the boss, it's technically the "true" ending to the pacifist speedrun. www.twitch.tv/shamblernaut/clip/VictoriousIncredulousNarwhalCoolStoryBob

I will probably watch them another 100 or so times throughout the years. Also, if you haven't seen it, Man Vs Snake: The Long And Twisted Tale Of Nibbler is one of the best-est and most motivational-est video game documentaries of all time. It's right up there with Indie Game The Movie. I love this kinda stuff. Have a good one, dude.

    The fact that enemies can knock you into a pit on a single hit because of the knockback means that eliminating them to make the run easier is a big part of why people attempt these runs. Eliminating weapons entirely? It might be theoretically possible, but I don't think a human can do it in segmented fashion, let alone all in one shot.

I have no desire to be a speedrunner, but watching the passion they have and all the times they fail and don't give up is extremely motivational for all aspects of life and motivates me like nothing else.

If moderators will do in the same manner as for some low%s it would be like this: Runs in the leaderboard first and foremost would be sorted by the amount of hits taken, then by time run took to complete. So his run will allways be above all ones that took 1 hit. Alternatively, they may make a completely new category, like it was with some Mario low%s.
