    Thanks for correctly explaining the situation surrounding the ToT skip. Some people outside of the OoT speedrunning community tried to make out there was some kind of credit war surrounding the trick which was never the case. When it reality their was some animosity from some in the speedrunning community who were trying to make out that I kept the trick secret in bad faith. Not realising that the TASing community works differently where people prefer to see such discoveries implemented in a final run. Nowadays given both communities have more or less merged. I would have made my findings public right away.

    Glitch hunting comes from a pure passion and love of what we do. The thrill of discovering something new about a game, and the excitement of sharing it with others. But what makes it so so special is the collaborations and friendships that we look back on.
    Those names at the end... some still active, some no longer with us. But to each and every person on that list we owe so much. There is so much history behind every single one of them, both for speedrunning as a whole and for my personal journey. These are the people who have made me who I am today and I cannot be more grateful.

I have always seen the hexadecimal many game code is written on when viewed with such programs but don't know where to start learning about how to read it.

      @@rozygcf6611 Apparently my first reply got deleted, I'll try reposting it. I hope it's not because of the length (TLDR at the bottom).
      When I first played Ocarina of Time 3D, I really liked all the secrets that were hidden in the game by the developers. At some point, while searching on the Internet for more of these secrets, I found some references to simple glitches like the bottle duplication: at first I was a bit scared of bugging the game on purpose, but then I started loving all the different things you can do with glitches in OoT3D, and I began learning more about them and why they work (mainly from the ZeldaSpeedRuns and ZeldaChaos websites). To me they were like "extended secrets" that not even the devs knew about.
      After a while I ended up finding my first undiscovered glitch, the Big Poe duplication, and from there I continued doing glitch-hunting for new exploits. The way I do it is mainly just putting together known glitches or trying them out in unusual situations, and I also like to figure out as much as I can about what happens inside the game during those glitches.
      For example, for that first one, I knew about another glitch called YBA, which makes the game write a value to the wrong place in the memory. People were using it mainly to get ammunition out of thin air, because one of the places you can write to is ammo counts. What I realized is that if the game is writing to the wrong place, that also means it is NOT writing to the intended place, which will then retain the previous value. After ironing out some other details, I found the correct inputs that let you sell a Big Poe and make the game not update the correct inventory slot, effectively keeping the Big Poe in the menu and duplicating it.
      TLDR: I like finding hidden secrets in video games, and exploitable glitches are like secrets that the game designers didn't intentionally put in :)

      @@lenira7750 Newton and Einstein are like the only two examples where this doesn’t really apply.
      Einstein basically came up with relativity almost out of nowhere, didn’t even cite any other papers in the famous paper setting out special relativity, and while his work ended up explaining a lot of other physics that had confused other scientists up to that point, it did so by basically just working backwards from the principle that the speed of light is constant no matter what your frame of reference is.
      Newton basically just did everything. While he actually developed calculus independently at the exact same time as Leibniz, he’s also responsible for basically inventing physics, coming up with the laws of motion, confirming the exact shape of the Earth, figuring out that gravity affected the movement of planets...and then exactly how it did so, got angry that existing telescopes didn’t focus colors properly so he figured out how to make a better one, ground his own lenses for it, and then built it himself (and his design essentially forms the basis for most modern telescopes), in the process he also happened to prove that white light was composed of the spectrum of colors combined together and invented the field of optics to study that sort of thing because why not, figured out a law of cooling, and was the first to calculate the approximate speed of sound. Oh and in his spare time he briefly served in Parliament and also basically ran the Royal Mint for almost thirty years. Newton was legitimately bonkers.

    It's also worth mentioning that a lot of the attitude of glitch-hunting has its roots in videogame Quality Assurance (also known as bugtesting). In QA, you are expected and encouraged to try and break whatever game you're working on. Yes, you're expected to play the game as intended, and make sure everything works as intended. But you're also expected to poke and prod every corner of the game, to make sure nothing was overlooked. To make sure there aren't areas of a level with no collision, for example. Or to make sure that a certain combination of behaviours doesn't cause the game to come apart at the seams.
    A good QA tester needs the mindset of a scientist. You poke and prod a game's systems, until you notice something unusual occurring (a glitch). Then you try to replicate the unusual behaviour. Then you test every permutation of the initial conditions, to see where and when the unusual behaviour occurs. By doing this, you can start to pinpoint what the actual cause of the behaviour is.
    The difference between a QA tester and a speedrunner, is that the tester is trying to pinpoint the fault so it can fixed by the developers. Speedrunners, meanwhile, are trying to pinpoint the fault to help them understand the underlying logic of how the game works. Because that knowledge can help them predict where else the glitch might occur in the game, allowing a glitch found in one part of the game to be exploited to greater effect elsewhere.
    Also, if you practise glitch-hunting (or QA) for a while, you'll start to learn which parts of games are the most fragile and prone to errors. Almost anything to do with physics modelling tends to be full of glitches, for example. Because most systems for detecting collisions between objects, and modelling momentum, are reliant on all kinds of approximations for the sake of speed and efficiency. So there are often all sorts of rare edge-cases that produce bizarre behaviour, which a speedrunner can exploit.

    • @kamataros5172
      @kamataros5172 Před 2 lety +8

      I love that when the devs of Celeste fixed an exploit or glitch one time that speedrunners were using a lot, and when the speedrunners were sad about it, they put it back in because it would just very rarely affect casual players. At the same time they prevented the speedrun from being split into 2 categories, one for the patched game and one for the 1.0 version.
      That's a mindset i would like to see more. If a glitch benefits speedrunning but is gamebreaking and "dangerous" to casual players, I'd expect the devs to fix it. But if it's so difficult to execute that you just wouldn't find it if you didn't want to intentionally break the game, why would you patch it? I mean, once the game has released and a speedrunning community has formed of course, in QA i would want devs to fix as much as they can regardless.

      @hanthonyc Před 2 lety +2

      Yo, I was thinking this the entire time- I've never participated in the (honestly, really cool) glitch-hunting in the speedrunning community, but it seems wildly similar to playtesting, which I've had minor experience in.
      There's the "just play the game and have a fun time" phase, making sure that there isn't any wildly noticeable hiccups and the majority of players will have that smooth experience, and there's the REAL testing, the shit where you want to poke and prod at weird combinations... Because eventually, even the most outlandish combinations of circumstances will happen to a casual player in a regular play session. It's the little weird circumstances that let you in on oversights that can eventually break an entire game from its inside-out. Like not having a cap on backwards/negative speed.
      I wish I had more experience in it, that shit was wildly rewarding... though this was for games in development by passionate indie devs, I don't know if I'd have the patience or even creativity for glitchhunting in a released Nintendo title.

    This video really hits home as a glitch hunter. My short time of glitch hunting with skater during ledge clip discovery and also the master quest stuff was a really awesome time and proud that I was a part of it. Its so much fun trying to push a game to its limits and finding new things. i see glitch hunting as a puzzle without a reference image, you need to try different pieces, combine two or more pieces that might not work, another person might have that piece your missing, its a big community effort to glitch hunt.
    To everyone i've glitch hunted with, thank you and keep being awesome!

There are quite a few people that I've worked together with on big projects like the Ocarina of Time Randomizer and decomp, many more who I've shared my knowledge with (or at least tried to... ZFG once said I don't speak English). A few names that I've known for over a decade (the good ol' IRC days) who I still chat with, a few that I'd forgotten about, and a name I recognize as someone who has passed on.

      Once I broke botw by doing the “moon jump” glitch, I was just like “what would happen if I just... leave it. For like 10 minutes.” (For context, I was still in the dialogue and therefore still on the wild horse) link just flew away for a while and the camera got very high up. And bouncy. Then I got a blood moon and the cutscene went fine, but after it finished link came flying back to his starting position (he was out above the ocean outside the map) he rubbed his ragdolling body all the way over the beach and subsequently died. I actually managed it again a few weeks later, but this time the blood moon didn’t trigger and it softlocked it when I exited the dialogue.
      I doubt there’s any real usage for this but it was funny. I should still have the videos that I saved on my switch.

I remember going to the Temple of Time out of desperation to get through he door somehow (and because I knew it was one of the few peaceful areas in the game) and I noticed the tiny gap too.

    There's a glitch I personally discovered in Darksiders 1, which after a year or two of initially finding it, I decided to see if anyone else also found it. Turns out one person did a few years before I did and uploaded a video of it, but it didn't really have any views. I love hearing about things that two people independently discover without any knowledge of the other person or their findings, and come to the same conclusion. It's almost like in our real world history where every culture on earth just decided to let fruit rot then crush it down and they got happy juice from it, and most independent of each other (look at the Americas). Or like how Chrome in Dr. Stone, despite essentially toying around with stuff he finds around, creates primitive inventions that Senku explains were made before (and at far further technological states than where Chrome's tribe was at), and was impressed that he was able to do it without any foreknowledge of the inventions. Speedrunning history is so much fun to look at.

    i am legitimately tearing up at the wall of names. like, the video was already awesome, but the mass credit, especially of people who weren't mentioned in the video itself? it's that spirit of cooperation and respect for everything and everyone that goes into a run that has me absolutely in love with speedrunning and the community.

    This channel is so cool, I was already following quite a few of the creators on here so it’s cool to see a combined effort. Gymnast is such a good runner and does an awesome job at explaining stuff. I will probably never do a speedrun myself but these documentary type videos on how a run works is super interesting to me

    The channel's a very similar accent/voice/infliction to lockpickinglawyer but about speedrunning and I absolutely love that.

    Showing all the names at the end was truly beautiful. I'm not even that big of a speedrunner myself, and I still recognised a few of them! Fantastic work!
