One of the things I love most about these world record progressions is how well Maximum hypes up his competitors. It honestly delightful how much Maximum loves someone else beating him for the challenge as it is for him to get the record too.

My favorite part of the video has to be the fail compilation at around 1:05:00, you've set up everything beforehand to show just how painful all these fails are, that prove just how insanely difficult the records were at that level of optimization. Incredible video overall - I literally never heard of this game or series before finding this channel and yet became that invested in the game and its speedrun over the course of the video.

It's funny to me how someone so skilled in getting things done as quick as possible can take something like 'beating a game in less than ten minutes' and make a feature length film about it. İ could have just watched the top speed run in full and have been done an hour ago, but the fact we didn't speaks volumes about this creator. You're doing great work, Maximum, thank you for what you bring to the speedrunning community, and how masterfully you share it with those outside of it.

Loved the Grunty battle theme at the end with the perfectly edited compilation. Good job dude

*17:59**-**18:25* This marks one of the coolest sequences I have ever seen in a video, *period.*

to this day, I still cant believe that the simple game that I accidentally discovered while messing around on the family computer when I was 9 years old has an active community

Love these videos man, clearly so much care and love behind them! The entire community around these red ball speedruns seems so great, so thank you for sharing it with everyone!!!

I love how such an old and simplistic flash game from over a decade ago still has a dedicated community

I heard my name being called? I WILL say, at the time I had submitted my video series, I had barely any understanding of what a speedrun was, so I definitely hadn't submitted it with the intention of having a WR. It's neat that I could have had it at some point though!

So much passion. What an adventure. The collaboration simply to make this video shows how amazing tight the community and speed running as a whole is. While everyone is competing they’re also forced to learn from each other which is really cool

Wow! Maximum's documentaries always show how thorough and creative speedrunners are in the Red Ball community, and really in general.

Love the Los Pollos Hermanos drip at the end. Icing on the cake

GAH! STOP MAKING ME HAVE CHILLS MAXIMUM, this is WAY too well edited and exciting for an hour long video about moving Red Balls. _Chills_

that montage at the end, synchronized with the music is brilliant. Never played red ball in my life yet i watched this whole thing. Kinda dumb, loved it tho

This was so awesome to watch I can’t wait to see a world record progression of the other red ball games and other flash games

On the 9th of August, 2021, a speedrunner by the name of Xdxboxjaja completed a phenomenal speedrun of a flash game called "Red Ball 2" with a time of 7:48.933 in the Any%, Pause and Glitch category. Xdxboxjaja's time came from a long span of competition without a runner named "dha" who had not been making large improvements to the world record that year. Most notably, dha failed to save an entire cycle in stage 15. Essentially, this platform only lowers every 10 seconds of time. Runners had always lost a significant chunk of timesave waiting for the cycle, but dha was able to fail the cycle at 50 seconds flat, losing him almost 10 seconds. This cycle loss was extremely unclutch and very expected to the game's runners at the time. Since dha failed to achieve a time of 7:48.933, it has been tied by three separate runners to the exact same frame. rare.eg on July 16, 2021. "MoreMaximum" on July 17, 2021. XDXBOXJAJA ON THE 9TH OF AUGUST, 2021. All of these runners booted up the game at different times, but it didn't matter, and everyone entered stage 1 on the exact same frame. The videos desync from this point due to lag, but since the game is timed without an in-game timer, this doesn't really matter. The gameplay displayed in all of these runs in the last 5 stages was seemingly imperfect. It's hard to tell due to these video recordings happening at either 30 or 60 FPS while the gameplay is happening at 30 FPS, but every timer appears to stay perfectly together on the entrance of stage 21. YES. All signs point toward 7:48.933 being an unbeatable time.

I appreciate how these WR progression videos double as both informational and as a way for Maximum to subtly flex his own achievements as a top runner. Great video!

Max: (*Plans on getting the WR for every Red Ball game*) Rare. eg: (*Chuckles*) No.

That 3 way tie is the most absurd thing I’ve ever seen in any speedrunning history

my favorite part about these wr history vids is that unlike summoning salt who doesn't run most of the games he covers, every once in a while maximum is like "and then someone stepped up to beat the record...: me." great to have an actual runner covering a game XD

You make it sound like they are 60 lmao.

Not trying to take anything away from the runners that did it, they still are obviously at the top, but hoarding records in secret is super anti-competitive and seems a little petty. Same thing happened in mario kart 64, causing one of the most prolific runners to quit the game. It takes away all agency for the person going for the sweep to contest the records; if a new wr gets dropped you could go fight to take it back. But when a ton get unhoarded at once, its too overwhelming to have to contest them all for the sweep. The only options are to give up or start hoarding your own. The fact they did it to you twice feels pretty bad, but I'm glad you don't seem too bothered by it (based on how you talk about it in the video).

I think it depends on the culture of the speedrunning community. In the SM64 community it was definitely unsportsmanlike whereas here it seemed to be generally expected and all be in good fun. Although I'm not a part of either community, I'd imagine it would be pretty obvious to somebody in either community whether it's acceptable or not.
