Wow. Being one of the people who worked on making this a reality for several years this almost makes me tear up a little. The way you reach the second location is some of the best out of the box thinking I've ever seen when it comes to speedrunning. It's such a beautiful thing to see this happen after over 10 years of trial and error and trying out the craziest strategies imaginable. Congratulation sir, you have truly defeated a giant here.

Great job guys

I remember seeing the hype around trying to figure this skip out, it's crazy that it's now a reality. Good job!

now the endless trials to optimize it.

My god! The giant has been beheaded! I remember seeing all the bounties out for this skip and the time estimates yeaaaars ago, this was just a pipe dream till now. Incredible work!!!

One thing I find incredible about glitch hunters and speedrunners is the way they always seem to make the impossible possible!

I only just got into ratchet and clank speed running, but seeing the poki skip finally done after such a long time of dreaming for it, this is truly a moment in history for speed runs

That was awesome! My jaw was dropped throughout the whole video. I'm gonna be sharing this with my circle of squares lol

No way!!!! 😮 wow amazing. Literally this specific lore is what got me into RAC speed running. So cool to see if get solved all these years later!

Just a few days ago I saw a nice documentary about the unsolved poki skip and that only one bot location was still not found how to skip and how close we are. Amazing job

Bro i cant believe you actually got good job man

Because of clanks normal movement speed, it looks like clanks going on a stroll untill he breaks tge laws of physics so casually and just keeps going

dang can't wait for tharixer to make another in debt youtube video about poki skip.

dude mad respect seriously, i didnt think id even see it in the next 10 years but i knew the community was so close, ricky just made it seem like an impossibility youve conquered!

I've also dreamed of this after seeing ThaRixer's video on it and it feels so unreal it finally happened! A shame that this doesn't save any time... unless someone figures out how to do it faster, but that's bit of a stretch since this already seems pretty much as fast as it can be... maybe in some niche category this could find use...

Amazing!

Wow. It took years of finding the exact possible glitches u could do. Proud of the community

Woah! I'm alive to see it!~ I can't wait to see this done unsegmented~ Actually, I feel like I'm a little late to the party, still an utterly jaw dropping display~

@@ZPixel17 sadly not. The current speedrun route for the planets that are skipped with this sits at about 6:15 while this run would be closer to 6:45 if i used the same timing as rta runs.

Hate to be the one to bring the bad news, but this only works in ng+ because you need the goodies menu

I just randomly felt like rewatching ThaRixers video on this yesterday, you're not weshansen7892 but it'll do. Incredible

This may only be segmented, and I only heard about this from Xem just a few days ago, but I really hope that in the future, this legendary skip that was once unsloved, becomes rta viable. If anything, I'd like to see Poki Skip as another speedrun category for RaC1 NG+, like "RaC1 NG+ w/ Poki Skip" for example. I may not be a speedrunner, but I'd think doing that would serve its honor, since its probably slower than the current route I don't know if Poki Skip could benefit 100%, it may not, but I'm just guessing.

@Pentali

There is one category so far where poki skip would be faster, which is ng+ packless. And people have already discussed doing IL (individual level) runs of it, which ig could be a good way to implement it into the leaderboards

This probably won't save any time due to how convoluted the routing is

I'm mostly surprised that people figured out super jump before all these spots where you can apparently just.. punch away from a wall to clip through? Speedrunning is weird sometimes.. (But now I'm just curious if the game cares if Ratchet goes to outer space areas without ever getting the O2 mask)

Honestly, even if it was optimized (for example a proxy from position 1 to up to the plattform where position 3 is), i don't think people would actually go for it due to the sheer difficulty. Though it is already theoretically faster for ng+ packless, so it's not completely useless

The thing is, some people (mainly me and a runner called ataappi) have done it in runs. Though I don't think anyone's gotten it fast enough to actually save time yet. Check out my ng+ packless pb, and you'll find it. It saves much more in ng+ packless since there's no timeless due to all the planets being slower
