happens [Music] national security get on the ground get on the ground get on the ground daddy please let me out of the box i'm stuck look at me look at me look at me i'm stuck up here i'm stuck up here look dear lord the thought of this hurts like hurts my fingers and it hurts my legs just the thought of you speed running ddr on like all expert tracks yeah i couldn't do that yeah literally i'd come down when i was in shape i couldn't do that i would imagine coming down here and just like seeing you like like i can't i can't i can't every time we played we played sets at the arcade and it was three songs and you got about maybe 30 seconds to a 60-second break in between each song and after all three songs were done you usually played something very hard for your third one because you know you play something like challenging but not something that you were worried about failing for your first two yeah because if you fail in the middle of your set you lose the rest of your set so you're trying not to waste your quarters when you're at the arcade if you uh so you play something really hard for the third one that you're not sure if you can pass or not usually and so by the end of the third song you're usually sitting down and slash passing out like huffing and puffing and stuffing yeah so i think if i tried to just speed run a ddr game a speed running implies not taking 30 to 60 second breaks between each song uh and b i think i'd probably get to about four songs in and just [ __ ] die i think it should be like a group speed run i think like a team of three speed running like yeah if you could swap with somebody between songs like swap between each song and just quickly like you know first person the person that finished the song jumps off the pad and another person jumps on like do a dual person speed run like that'd be legit yeah so i could probably manage that with uh my buddy dustin back when we were actually in shape um except for we would have to strategically do it so that he could pass the harder songs because i could never pass consistently like uh um not max 300 but the one that's harder than max 300 by a little bit so and then max 300 if we're in the middle of like trying to speed around the whole game i probably want not passing that one either so we probably do those like early into the speed run you know yeah it for me i look at like speedrunning your rhythm game i would say probably for me would be uh rock band like original rock yeah i could see myself doing like that with like some of the old guitar heroes and stuff oh yeah and i would say for me the uh the hardest part is gonna be like making your menu uh selections fast enough to cut down on time you know and you're in the game because i mean once the song's going it's literally like you're at the mercy of the length of each song so there's only a minimum time you can achieve for running a rhythm game yeah it's true but again i i wonder which one jayden's gonna go with i mean i i think it they gave away something in the thumbnail but again i'm i'm not really heavy on rhythm games but i do know it's not friday night funkin which you know would you that wouldn't be too bad the speed run i mean i played it and i played through the whole everything that is currently released officially for the flash game um i i played through all of it on the hardest charts in about three hours or a little bit less one night it's like whatever the length of the songs are i just went song to song and i didn't fail any of them because i mean people you might not believe me online but if you don't believe me hop in discord and i'll [ __ ] show you like i i'm not bad at all at playing those kind of games that are like ddr because i used to play stepmania like that all the time and i played ridiculous charts on that yeah well honestly i'm interested to see what jayden does with the rhythm you know speedrunning a rhythm game i wonder which one she's going to go with and i guess my bad that's okay i'll put it on vibration it's okay where'd it go oh it's in my pocket so anyway um let's go ahead and get into this uh this is speed running your rhythm game is hard by jaden animations here we go as you know most games are pretty flexible in terms of getting to go as fast or slow if you're lame as you want and honestly it's pretty hard to limit that from players maybe you could turn the main character into an old man who has trouble walking or something that's not fun at least in theory i don't know but you know the one video game genre that forces everyone to play at the same pace rhythm games rhythm heaven is one of my favorite games oh especially in the rhythm category i played it constantly growing up i've heard it was good but i never got the trouble some dumb excuse to play it for a video so today i'm speed running a rhythm game how does that work in actuality i have no idea but this is what i laid out for myself as the video game masochist i am i wanted to make sure i had some sort of challenge capable of driving me to the brink of insanity so i'm gonna be running the all-metals category which means i only have a certain amount of mess-ups per mini-game before i fall from award-winning gaming greatness into low-life scum and since i'm not running a game no one else has run before i have some competition for the first time there's a decent amount of runs already submitted so to compete with them i need to make sure i get first try medals throughout the entire game every time all 50. i need to play 50 rhythm games in a row without messing up i thought about going for an all perfect run and then i did a test play to see how hard it would have been and i was like no this would actually make me want to stop breathing so here we go this is my experience speed running the 14 year old rhythm game rhythm heaven fever for my first run i just wanted to play through the whole game to simply see how it would go you know learn what i needed to practice get my pacing and you know what it was kind of an insane first try i only messed up on two games in the entire run figure fighter 2 which is this game where you're a puny little shrimp man who gets inflated to punch a punching bag in front of a crowd of a couple hundred people and remix 10 of course if you've played rhythm heaven favor you know about remix 10. the game organizes all the mini games into columns and after you play four of them there's a remix that's like a medley of the whole column it's genuinely cool but for the last remix it's a nearly four minute game of every single mini game you've played up until that point like i said very cool but also terrifying from a speedrun perspective anyway besides getting okays in too many games that means i was perfectly prepared for all the others and i was shocked that's not half bad in fact that's 96 not half bad i even started thinking to myself oh man if i get this run faster than anticipated maybe i can't even make a video for it i was worried i would get it like attempt to and then not know what to talk about which no i do have a video for it as you can see i went in into attempt to with a very heightened sense of confidence ready to complete my run second try and screwed up on the first and i immediately missed the first beat [Laughter] how did i know that was gonna happen just that sound of agony just the confidence just that sounds over confidence they missed the first beat just this sound of agony jaden makes is arguably like one of the most honest like just relatable yeah i was playing neo yesterday i was making lots of sounds that were very uh pain pain sounds one more time been there so many times so that runs dead attempt three was going all right making a few more mistakes than normal but was still doing well enough to keep getting medals then i got to dunk donk which i hate i hate it and it's the worst one you're this middle thing and have to dunk against the other things to make this limp go fast or something honestly the whole concept of this one is beyond me but i was just barely missing the marks and when i say barely i mean i was still donking against them but in a way that's like i definitely didn't dunk perfectly a few other games have this visual feature and throughout the run i was telling my friends jordan kelsey who are helping me take notes and keeping me company and saying i have no idea if that means i completely messed up or if it's uh that was a close dunk but we'll give it to you type of thing and then after the game ended i need to like look up if that's bad or not no it is bad apparently it's bad baby jim all right well runs dead well all right i guess i got that answer i started another run after that and messed up at the very beginning before i could even do anything the timer starts after choosing your new file and clicking yes when asked to continue and then immediately after that there's a very long tutorial but speed running strat you can actually skip that pesky little tutorial by after clicking yes immediately clicking the home button and restarting the game see this one is cool it's got cool skips and stuff anyway i missed the reset button and not a big deal but i restarted it anyway because why would i leave in an extra half second of time loss like that my mental game for that run was already irretrievable attempt 5 was on its way until i messed up too much on flock step the game where you're a bird within a group of other birds all migrating and walking at the same time i got trampled so yeah it felt like i was only doing worse and worse the first run was almost perfect immediately and now it felt like i was losing my mojo why did i have to jinx it why did i have to think i was gonna be too good for this challenge but then i got on this run a run where i was doing better than i ever had before remix one remix two remix three i was getting perfect maybe the occasional one or two mistakes but that was it i was in it the zone not that it mattered i was getting perfect it still gives me the same normal metal but i was doing well alright and it was an overall calm feeling too i didn't mention it but my very first run i was on the verge of passing out or something my anxiety was through the roof i knew it didn't even matter but the entire run i was having to take deep breaths and tell myself to calm down and stuff my hands were shaking but after a few runs my speed running anxiety had disappeared and i was just calm and focused until i got to the end game then it came flowing back and it felt like my heart rate was so high i should have stopped immediately and had someone drive me to urgent care we need a doctor she was trying to speed run rhythm heaven isn't that a rhythm game i started samurai slice 2 which i was extremely worried about because it was the second time i'd gotten this far since the first run i didn't mention it but the actual reason i lost my second attempt was because of this game so now there's trauma there jordan and kelsey stayed silent so i could have maximum focus and as i started getting into it jacob joined the call sir jacob you're a very great friend and i was very happy you joined but oh my goodness i was sweating bullets hello hello how's still rhythming it's going good so far jaden's in focus i assume this much how far is this we just oh my god i would be so mad shut up be like time shhh phew i was sweating so hard phew all right i'm moving on honestly still i was doing really well it wasn't until love wrap two that i even hit my first four mistakes in one game very frightening but i still squeaked by side note uh i have no idea the technicalities of how many mess-ups i'm given per game i was just hoping and praying the entire run then it was time i was at figure fighter 2 again the game that officially ended my first run i practiced it religiously after that let me uh also just explain this real quick for people who don't play rhythm games a whole lot because i have played them in discord and stuff before and chats and stuff with people there when you get in the zone at least for me there's this problem where if people do start talking you start to have to be like don't don't focus on that don't focus on that focus on the game keep focused on the game you know but you can still hear them talking obviously yes and if you start to let your focus drift just slightly too far all of a sudden it's just like there want to know that i don't even know why i missed and so you have the urge to just be like i'm just gonna hit mute or i'm just gonna be like hey give me just a second like you know but either of those two actions can also completely make you miss a note so it's like yeah if you're gonna play in a voice chat with everyone i recommend actually muting everyone else whenever you're in the middle of a song because it's just if someone starts talking to you in the middle of the song and you're trying to do and you're doing really well like you're no longer going to be doing really well yeah the frustration will amount you'll just be like just start screaming and i mean like i know her friends are giving her support and since she's speed running she's having to go game of the game so she probably can't just be muting and unmuting them the whole time yeah i don't think i could have support for a rhythm game speed run i just feel this is not happening unless i have total concentration and quiet for the whole run fair enough uh if they're gonna be there i'm gonna have to mute at the beginning of each run and be like talk to you after the attempt like basically you know yeah ever fail at it ever again this game is deep into the run too it's like one of the last five in the entire game so losing at that one did sting quite a bit the first time after lots of nervous pep talk to myself i went into it and you know what happened i knocked it out of the park from five mistakes that cost me the run all the way down to one i get to continue on every mini game onwards was just exponentially heightening my anxiety further i was doing really well but that's what was terrifying me i didn't know when the mistakes were just gonna hit and it felt like any second i could kill the run because i i could i'm being completely honest unfortunately when i say this was probably the worst nervous anxiety i've ever felt in my entire life a rhythm heaven fever speed run i was taking deep breaths every chance i could it felt like i had chills i would have liked to pause and calm myself down maybe get a cold towel but i couldn't because you know it's a speed run i was saying things like i can't handle this oh no i can't my chest hurts i feel like my ribs are gonna fall out of me ah okay okay more deep breaths some water maybe i hate this feeling i don't want to live with this feeling any longer maybe i was starting to hallucinate or something but it felt like i was literally having nervous wreck heart palpitations both scenarios are equally likely but i was somehow keeping it together i love the fact that heart palpitations her brain is literally like screaming pepe and the heart's just like scenarios are equally likely but i was somehow keeping it together on the outside and made it to the grand finale remixed remix 10. this was also the game i practiced the most next to figure fighter 2 so i was technically prepared but not mentally i was falling apart mentally crumbling if you will but i had no time to try and calm down that would be time loss of course so without hesitation i had to start it all things considered even though i couldn't hear the game over the sound of my heartbeat i was doing pretty decently but then the first mistake hit i don't technically know how many mistakes that counts for but it's okay it's assumedly the first one that it happens again moments later this is what i was talking about earlier when i don't know if that counts as an actual mistake or not can i look it up does the internet have the answer i don't know maybe probably but i'm in too deep to check at this point so i'm not going to the run continues it happens again i wasn't ready for the switch to the tap dancers and missed my q they literally harassed me in game about it it's all slowly falling apart now i don't think i can make any more mistakes do i know for sure not at all but that's what was filling my head at this point i continue and dear god no i missed three of the little dots i'm sure it's over now i don't know how many technical mistakes i've made at this point but it just feels like too many i'm completely in the dark now if i'm even on route to pass or not i will add in my remix 10 practice at the very end there's a little credits minigame you know like the ones i skipped where you tap a on beat to make the little mascot guy fly in the air there's one part i just couldn't get it all and that was the double tap where he does like this little roll into a jump there wasn't a single time in training that i could get that part and always missed it and when i needed it most did i get it in the run nope no that's it i don't know how many mistakes that was but it was too many my heart sank dude all that work just a fail at the very end all that anxiety i'm gonna have to relive i just didn't know if i could handle it like physically i wasn't joking about the heart palpitations hallucinations all i could do was sit there at the foot of rhythm god and wait for my judgment i don't know i don't know about that one genuinely so stressful oh i know i don't know how but i did it i finished the run i was free i officially played all the rhythm heaven fever minigames and didn't fail at earning a medal first try on any of them at all one hour 53 minutes and one second that's my final score how does that compare to the world record honestly not even close i don't really know how they saved so much time my main guess is that playing on the wii is much faster in terms of loading time i was playing on a wii u and that could affect how fast everything loads i don't know but also there's no way i'm going to play on a wii for youtube do you know how crunchy that would make this footage i'd rather take the time lost bullets so i don't have to cross my eyes just to rewatch my footage so how does my run compare to the people who did the same run on the wii u second best and you know what i'll take it i have no idea how this guy ended up saving like 10 seconds but being the second best wii u rhythm heaven fever all metals runner is fine with me i am settling and i am proud well i probably lose this record hours after this video goes up absolutely that's a speed running computer you messaged me for weeks months after my cooking mama 2 speed run video being like jaden you're not the world record holder anymore and it's like yeah i know thanks for rubbing it in i'm trying to cope over here no i'm kidding i'm actually really happy people started running cooking mama especially the burnt pie percent i felt honored in a really strange way anyway after trying my hand and speed running a game that has a semi-active honestly at the moment kind of dead running base i now realize speed running is terrifying especially if content is on the line i'd probably like it more if i did it for fun in my free time but yeah oh well i'm happy i finished my run despite everything i had a great time is that a hollow night or something i think so now a skill that will be very useful absolutely never i really still can't believe i almost had a panic attack because i was speed running rhythm heaven but hey just put it on the resume i guess sorry the videos have been coming out more sporadic in terms of frequency honestly the reason why her fan art is like 99 aeroace fan art now yeah again they're fun maybe if i just stock up on a bunch of videos for like six months i can post regularly like a normal content crater for like a month and we can all pretend it's normal and awesome just an idea i don't know anyway thanks for watching and i appreciate any and all support you guys have for me talk to you later bye bye okay so there you are uh so yeah i don't out of all the rhythm games that i've played i don't know which one i would i would be able to speed run but i i let's see hold on let's check a record real quick so i think friday night funkin no fail is the best i could do and i mean obviously it's going to be way down there because there's just people that probably can hit the ok button faster than i can or something no fails not really that impressive i don't even know if they'd have it as a category [Music] yep weeks one to six is what i've done no jules did one it has the world record hold on oh wait wait wait [ __ ] all the splits are getting [ __ ] up because i'm pressing up and down one second no no we can't run dude we [ __ ] we [ __ ] it up oh he's going on what's going on oh is he doing every difficulty that was weird though i didn't okay bam all right oh we killed that one all right big one here we go suggestions for a guitar oh no it's just that easy at the beginning i forgot yeah i definitely suggest a shifter because they have like guitars that are uh cheaper that are like high quality and they're low they're like low money range that's impressive that you can talk like that while playing that too everybody we got it we got yo yo wait no one because no one else runs this game i like i bet they did after that video damn it damn jules [Music] the rum was rejected because the game's not done yet yeah so we gotta wait for the full the full last game to come out that's literally what they're calling it the full ass game or something like that damn it damn it all right so i guess that i guess that settles that see i can't i don't but i can't do thumper it's i mean i could practice it maybe for a couple months i just don't see myself having fun practicing thumper for months on end it was really fun to play through one time but i my brain would fry trying to play it enough to get good enough to pass it in one run without failing and i'm pretty sure someone else has had to have already done that too yeah um my other option beyond that is sayonara wild hearts and maybe but it's it's not even really speed runnable because once you hit start on the game it pretty much goes from beginning to end there's like no menus to skip or anything like you're just literally playing the game you're trying not to miss it's not it's not really a speed run as much as a perfect run is what you would be going for and it's it's not easy to do all perfects on either from what i played of it so far i've not even managed to get like 100 of like the best scores on the songs like the best medals on the songs yet all of the songs yet it would be a more fun one to play constantly because like every once in a while i just feel like installing and playing through it again just because it's such a cool game i mean who's to say you wouldn't be able to do it eventually yeah i mean one day maybe but really it's like it wouldn't be a speed run in that case it would just be literally going for a no uh you know an all perfect run because there's no speed to be done in it it's like i guess i don't think i can't remember i'm trying to remember but i don't even think there's really much of any loading screens between songs i'd have to check all right can you do me a favor and check real quick just on youtube like look up sayonara wild hearts let's see if it has a uh or see if it has a speedrun page or anything yep oh it does okay 40 minutes and 40 seconds see they're all basically the exact same time it's because most likely that guy's hard drives are slightly faster than everybody else's you're on an m.2 so i mean i think you any percent any debt any no death skips all cutscenes all riddles one hundred percent i mean i could definitely do it any percent like i've done it without having any death skips so yeah there you go you can definitely do it the riddles now that would be a challenge like because i haven't even figured all those out yet and i've had to look up several of them basically the riddles are like hidden achievements within the game for different things well anyway i think we're gonna in this one here this was uh jaden animation speed running a rhythm game is hard and most definitely seems that way yeah so uh jaden congratulations on your completion of uh of rhythm heaven fever and uh if you want to see more from jaden feel free to uh click her name in the title of the video and if you want to see more from us hit that subscribe button ring that bell you know the deal and until next time i'm nate i am nick see you later everybody take care [Music] so [Music] you
