Multiplayer Speedruns are Awesome, and Here's Why
Multiplayer speedruns are absolutely fascinating to observe, adding a plethora of new levels of depth and complexity to already difficult speedgames. In this video, i'll be talking about a few of my favourite multiplayer speedruns, and why they're worth looking into!
00:00 - Intro
01:30 - Hollow Knight
07:02 - Portal 2

That multiplayer run with fireborn sounds like it would be really fun to watch

Yes
Ok but “little bundle of murderous void” is the best nickname ever for the Knight
A 2 player 112 run you say ay? 👀
‘Twice the players, twice the speed’ sounds like a zote precept. If only it did not conflict with precept 8: ‘travel alone’

It does not necessarily conflict with 8th precept. You just need to re-interpret it. "Travel alone" in case of 2-player speedrun just mean, that you should split up, *travel alone* and complete different parts of the progression 😂

@@antonvakhitov9477 zote agrees with your statement, and shall add the ‘twice the players, twice the speed’ precept as the 57th precept (follow all precepts will be moved to 58)
awesome to see Msushi appear out of nowhere, not sure what else i was expecting when Portal speedrunning was in the mix but still very cool
Definitely wanna see that multiplayer speedrun!!
before being reminded of the foot thing, when blue said "whatever smo players have going on" i thought it was going to be about the 8-player chaos runs
Multiplayer runs are wild, my favourite has gotta be it takes two. The movement in that game is insane!

yooo masker what are you doing here?
You are almost at 100k. You know what must be done.
multi player speed runs are epic
this is actually a really cool concept and also try this i figured out that on xbox if you turn on 2 controllers but only sign one in, you can have 2 people controlling the same icon, try to beat hollow knight where both of you are controlling the same knight
As someone who enjoys all of those games and want to learn speedruns for it (or tried to learn already) i know almost all the trickd, but im still going to watch this video
I think there's a lot of untapped potential for multiplayer speedruns in highly non-linear games like HK, as there are so many interesting routing implications. Some folks in the TAS community have been discussing a multi-sync 106% (due to libTAS stability issues with later patches), which wouldn't have the parallel pantheon shenanigans, but has a ton of crazy routing in the overworld, especially when you mix in TAS-only strats like fury Baldur. Labbing the route gets a bit nuts, since any time you optimize a section, it may break the sync with other existing sections and eventually require some rerouting. (: One fun idea: shoptimal Shade Soul pickup with three knights where one picks up shop key, the next immediately buys e-key and the last enters Norman 2, all coordinated.
The strat with pogoing eachothers nails is actually viable with 2 players! (I call it 'we pogo') me and my friends do it all the time and it's better than shade skipping!
oh that's why you were lurking in the portal 2 community ...
Tbh, I’m not a huge fan of some of the direct interactivity, like pogoing off other slashes, but even without that, the synced item collection has a really cool impact on routing.
I did this with my friend over a year ago and wondered why nobody had done it before. Glad to see somebody else gets to enjoy it too! (hollow knight)
Just fyi, a lot of the other categories also use the co-op mode in some sections to achieve some otherwise impossible jumps. And yep they also do that with their feet. They gotta have those crazy pinkymuscles 😂
Technically Super Mario Galaxy speedruns are multiplayer. It’s usually just one person holding two remotes/joycons tho. Still really cool movement
this video proves that getting friends is harden than to play a game with your feet
It takes two speedruns are cool too but learning the route is pretty hard
12:10 Congrats on reaching 100K subscribers!
6:01 I would love that! Bit of a shame Hollow Knight’s birthday is the same as mine so while I’m hanging out with my friends and family I’ll also be missing that but it’s (not) fine! 😔
I for one would love to see the multiplayer speedrun! Co-op speedruns are super cool to begin with, and I can't even begin to think about what it's going to look like in a game that allows you to do so much with a couple of sequence breaks.
As an Odyssey speedrunner myself, I can say that the 2 Player speedruns (at least of categories like Any%) are really cool, and are just now getting faster than the corresponding 1 Player categories because of the fewer quality of life features in the 2 Player mode. The future is looking strong.
Trine 2 would be awesome to speedrun with friends.
No one is talking about “In a world…” with the CaptainSparklez voice 😭😭
i was not expecting to see a blue and fir collab! even if it was just a quick cameo, i audibly gasped - i love both hk and smo as speedgames
I felt the watching too many msushi videos, i binged a lot of them when i started speedrunning portal 2
The mario odyssey thing reminds me of something someone did in Rocket League. To perform a certain move (the stall), which required the simultaneous pressing of several buttons, they bound all those buttons to the spacebar, put the keyboard on the floor, and pressed it with their foot
A multiplayer speedrun with fireborn would be great. But it's a shame you'd have to get every grub yourself.
That pogo flying can be done with 2 people. My friend and I have done it a bit just screwing around, and while we're not completely consistent, I think people could be.
I'd definitely watch a multiplayer run with fireborn! And also mario odyssey if you get a switch :p
I think a speedrun collab with Fire would probably be over in like 10 minutes lol but I'd still watch it
Awesome video on the intricacies of multi-player speedruns! ^-^ And omg that fir jumpscare, unbelievably cool :3
i wold love to learn speedrun this game, in coop i think would be a boost for me but, no friends :C
I missed your videooos 🥳 you made my day :D
Okay I did not expect to see so many awesome youtubers in one Blue video
You've really got to foot it to these runners, they're quite impressive
3:41 "Enough people" just me and 1 friend can do it consistently. Edit: We usually do it with longnail, but I'm sure it's doable normally. Especially since we have the ping of 2 people on different continents using a public server.
Could one person do a 2 Knights speedrun with their hands and feet controlling their respective knights?

Yes. Yes I would like to see this 2 player run!

babe wake up new BlueSR video dropped
Very interesting, loved the Msushi cameo.
fantastic video. very yippee, thank you for video! looking forward to maybe hollow knight multiplayer stream :)
you could use the 2nd player in a pantheon to do double chip damage (just minion build fr)
The fir cameo is cwazy
Oh this is new nice didn't notice
Odyssey players have transcended friends and just started playing the game twice at the same time
Heres an idea : a room randomizer speedrun. I think its interesting and would be a fun video if you covered it!
You're at 100k now, where's the Mario Odyssey footcam reveal?
camy believe fire born and blue are getting marired
3:57 They think they're Gorb.
Wake up babe, new BlueSR vid just dropped

Was not expecting fir to come up lol
Babe wake up, Blue uploaded
Oh the 2player run of HK sounds very good!!!
I’m a speedrunner myself (well I kinda quit but whatever) and there’s multiplayer categories with up to 6 players and those are usually my favorite runs lol
Fir and Msushi? Nice
I love markiplier speed runs
I really hope you do that 2 player 112% APB run with fire!!!
Top 2 reasons 2 player should be in the game: 1 its fun. 2. You can troll your friends with pvp

Multi player speedruns are amazing!
I would love to see apb 112 speed runned by you and fire
