Hello and welcome ladies and gentlemen to
RUSH news!
I am your host, Shiva Borger, bringing you
the best news.
Play some explosion or something, I think
that's what the kids like.
[explosion sounds]
First topic of the day
is about Spyro, and if you think one world
record today isn't good enough, Jumpyluff
thought much the same.
The Spyro speedrunner Jumpyluff achieved four
world records in just one run.
Here is the Spyro Reignited Trilogy trifecta.
The 3 included runs was the Spyro 2 Any%,
and Spyro 1 and 3 new game plus, and he just
WR'd all of it, making it four WRs.
The guy has absolutely no chill and he gets
a place in our RUSH hall of fame.
A major discovery has come to light in the
recent weeks for, you guessed it, another
Zelda game.
Clearly breaking through two barriers was
not good enough.
This time it has covered something in Majora's
Mask.
They found out about a debug menu, which allows
players to spawn the desired/necessary items
to beat the game much earlier.
This can be triggered by using the Text Overflow
glitch.
The initial setup discovered that playing
the Song of [Soaring] for *just* 8000 times
would get them to access the debug menu.
This however was still slower than the Any%
record, and I think was probably just torture.
That number has been whittled down by the
more tech-savvy people in the Majora's Mask
community, getting it into the lower thousands,
and moving down even further.
The most recent known number that we know
of is 46 times.
So despite this idea sounding completely crazy
playing the song of soaring 8000 times, we're
now at 46!
So, if this gets even more refined, it can
be executed faster, it's just gonna be insane.
Whole new categories ahoy!
The current WR of the category was performed
by Bonooru on the Wii U virtual console in
52 minutes and 41 seconds.
(Jesus Christ.)
And I guess the run still sucks.
Ennop, thank you.
(laughing) The Wii version and other consoles
are currently also out of the question, as
it's impossible to perform at all.
Now, moving on with breakneck speed, we're
in Mario Kart 7, where a new clip has been
discovered in the track Daisy Cruiser, which
allowed for the first track to be completed
in just under a minute by Thomas.
The previous route involved glitching through
a later corner on the track.
With this new method, it's gonna save 15 seconds.
Now for the next topic, I'm going to talk
about something that probably a few people
who watch GDQs are aware about, and that is
the world of the blindfolded speedrun.
Which is insane.
So I wanted to shed some light to it.
But first up, the important news and context
is Super Mario Odyssey, which has been completed
blindfolded without assist mode by Katun24
in only 5 hours, 24 minutes, and 13 seconds.
Not like Smallant1, that guy cheated.
He used assist mode.
If you've watched people or maybe even heard
the story of Runnerguy, who had one of his
blind fans ask him once if he could complete
it blindfolded.
Well they did.
All of these blindfolded runs, or if you've
watched GDQ with Zallard1, it takes so much
memorization and audio cues.
It's a really insane world and you should
check it out if you feel like it.
And go follow the streamers, they do some
amazing work.
Thank you.
{Katun} Oh my god dudes, first try.
You had to hold forward instead of taps?
Lost a few seconds there.
Yes, that was not a bad run dude.
That was not bad at all.
Is this gonna be sub 7?
I think, I think so.
What?
What!?
(laughing) Oh my god...
{Shiva} As the saying goes, you should always
finish with what you finished in the last episode,
and so I reserve this place for Kosmic, because
all your plus one luck and our likes on the
video helped him achieve the sub 19, after
finally getting the good Bowser luck.
{Kosmic} Did I do it!?
Did I finally do it, dude!?
With the bonk in...
I don't, I don't know for sure but, we've
fucking finally done it.
I really hope it's a .9 like it says.
{Shiva} And you know what, if you want to continue
his luck, please consider liking the episode.
Thank you very much, and also GG Kosmic.
You rock.
Now, in the afterword, thank you for all the
Patrons, since YouTube decided that my voice
and [Lexi's] editing, and everything else
isn't worth their monetization, we very much
appreciate your support.
I'm not even getting a single cent, what's
up with that?
Nah, I'm kidding.
Okay, now onto the comments%.
I hate it, by the way.
You guys are all so fast, even [Lexi] didn't
get the first place.
What the hell!?
Alright, thank you and see you next time when
it's time for another RUSH 23!
The episode you're all waiting for.
Take care.
