Thought I'd post a comment as to why the run is almost sub 17 now! The Devs updated the game last night and added a bed to the train tracks, which I'm almost 99% certain was done for speedrunners since it was a very boring part that just consisted of holding W. This bed saves a tiny bit over 1 minute which really adds up when spamming resets. The Boat skip (or "Stowaway Skip") that is done was found a few days ago by myself just randomly trying things since I was bored of riding the boat. This glitch is NOT the same as the one that takes you to the end of the game from the beginning. You clip yourself into the back of the boat, and by jumping at a specific time, you store momentum and can release it flying out of the boat to the next area. I spent like 20-30h testing this, so I'm glad it can actually be done consistently.
Crazy what you do. I just finished the game using a few skips I learnt from you and some other runners and damn did it feel amazing to finish it. Felt so proud of myself for not giving up. I went back to the store page to look at the recent reviews since the update (which are much better) and had a glimpse at the trailer for the game, and man I missed so many beautiful parts of the game by just trying to skip through it and get to the top. Reminds me to enjoy the journey in life and not focus to much on getting to the end but rather enjoying the journey up. Even if I fall many times and want to die. Lets go sub 15.
Hitting ship skip is the ultimate gigachad move. My man Distortion grinded ship skip for 30 hours when everyone told him he was crazy, “it’s too inconsistent” etc. He kept going and started getting more consistent and started hitting it in actual runs. He was able to put everything together and beat world record by 37 seconds. Now everyone else will be forced to learn ship skip if they want to compete. Absolute legend Edit: He just PB’ed again 17:04, absolutely incredible
Of all the speed runs I look at, yours are the cleanest and above all, the most credible. The others do not show a camera, they are not heard, they are not even known who is playing. You even the keys you press shows. W speed run Congrats!
Devs have apparently helped a bit. I know they've added at least one bed that cuts out like a minute from the run. I think the Waifu skip skip is also faster as well.
@@ActiveFire533 nope, this is any%. Many of those major skips use Glitches. Glitches are allowed. The Champagne bottle uses a glitch that double launches off it, for example. Some glitches are restricted, but its usually just the ones that skip the entire majority of the map.
Saw that skit at the end for the first time, what the hell!!!! I love how the route evolved in the last week! Awesome run!!!! Loved it from beginning to the end!!
I got Only Up today, and have spent 6hrs battling the conventional map just to get about half way up. So to see this.. absolutely mind blowing, I have no clue how you’ve got so good at this.. a lot of practice for sure, but some unbelievable short cuts and ways to speed run this. GG sir, well earned WR.
Yeah he’s actually pulling ahead in such a competitive game he’s nuts the chinese fella who had the first 17:X probably wasn’t expecting such a big jump this soon
It was awesome watching you grind the boat skip over and over whilst people in chat called you crazy and you told them over and over how you loved doing it anyway. Congrats!! 🍾
You seem a lot more focused and less stressed than the runs you were doing 3 days ago and your gameplay shows that you are more relaxed too. Nice to see you back at #1
@@kiwikillerz8119 chat was unbearable this past week. Not all but mostly new chatter and people that new to speedrunning. The worst part is during the boat skip testing, chat kept pressuring him to the run and say the skip is useless. Good call on enabling the sub-only since dist cannot resist reading chat everytime and the one chat he read always the bad one KEKW. I'm hoping more people will understand the "practice" and "testing" part of speedrunning more
Nno his not, he's been back and forth with Chinese speedrunner, after he upload all the wr only up video before the same Chinese player beat it , that's why distortion beat him again
As a Chinese, I'm very happy that distortion got the record back, those brainwashed patriots Chinese player and fans ruined the Chinese speedrun community for me, they treat this like a fucking cold war or something instead of just enjoying watching people beat records like a challenge.
Watching Distortion and the Chinese players go at it has been amazing lol I havnt even played this game but seeing the competition go back and forth everyday is so crazy lol. Congrats on this WR Distortion, keep the record in America like you said lol keep up the good work
Craaaazy skips, wow. I watched the 30 min WR just a few days ago. ITS WILD that you almost halved that. One of the best speedrunners of all time, for sure!
This whole game gave me flashbacks to a literal dream I used to have FREQUENTLY as a kid growing up. The level design and all the themes incorporated into it just.... Unlocked fringe "core" memories from my childhood that I still hold dear.
I can't believe he made five mistakes and still got WR! He's gonna be the first to hit 16:5X! Nobody else is getting the boat skip down this well! He just needs to hit the bed to blimp better and he will get it! Watching you guys take the WR from eachother daily in this game has kept this game ignited with viewers! They've made so many of these ONLY GO UP games in the past year and for some reason this one is different! Don't know why, but it has really brought the speed running community together and I'm here for it! 😊
With your game variety, consistency and ability to casually chat with viewers. You might be the world's best speed runner. Watching you destroy games that mess with my head is so satisfying
I love how this game went from the Chinese saying Americans are too dumb to beat it, to now America holding the WR for beating this game quickest. Congrats and thank you!
Singlehandedly putting USA on his back. This man should get a medal once he solidifies his first place perfect run where nobody will be able to touch the record. Thank you for your service Distortion
Unbelievable! You're just decimating your own, already incredible run. It's funny how you said something like "It'd be cool if we could skip these rails" (If I recall correctly) in the last run, and in this run.... Well! The movement at 4:20 had me pogging irl, awesome stuff mate, I know you can smash the sub 17 Edit: Actually, now that I think about it, I may be quoting Poo there, when he was reacting to your run. Appologies for the mix up. also 14:13 WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!?!?!? Who let you BLJ in Only Up!?

Classic you to lab that out for more than a whole day worth of hours, amazing find and determination ❤
wow
Everytime I open the yt app, there's a new speedrun
🐐
how low do you think the WR will get realistically? you think some day we will see sub 10 mins?
Watching a new only up speedrun wr is starting to become part of my daily routine at this point
Me too brother me too
Brings me back to the Elden ring release lol
It's amazing
Every 5 sec someone else has a new record. Getting kinda old honestly. Impressive but still… meh we get it. Serious dedication on these speed runners
I keep seeing him do it even faster. Like what is this man doing? Lol
Seeing a WR go from just under 21 minutes to just over 17 minutes in 6 days from the same speedrunner is mental
yea it's also new exploits being found every time. pretty much every WR is because of a new skip
but game itself changed as well its not that they cut off 4 minutes off those paths on 21 minute rounds
yeah the game changed a lot 😅
We will have a sub 15 within the month
And there is still room for improvement

Wtf is going on? I see a munch of ridiculous monuvers! Nice job!
I keep cheering for this guy so hard. Battling 5 Chinese players do the WR and he somehow keeps finding a way to respond to them over and over again.
He’s a GIGADIST no doubt
Hes fuckin carrying because I feel like only other American players are playing this for clout

Thank you so much for bringing together the gaming community- your efforts are really paying off in ways no one could imagine ❤
