Its been a while since I played but I'm almost positive that if you end a battle after a fatal hit but before your hp hits zero you get to keep whatever the hp counter had remaining... not 1 hp unless the counter happened to stop at 1 hp when the battle ended (meaning you were like a quarter second from dying)
Correct!
Yes. The exception is that if you are at zero HP but kill the last enemies before the "got hurt and collapsed" message appears, the character will be kept alive on 1 HP.
@@ShimmeringSpectrum Oh, I don’t think I’ve ever cut it that close. Interesting.
It has to be a frame rule thing, like if you press confirm on an attack before your hp hits 0. And that attack will end fight, I’ve seen the have several times in one play thru hit zero and roll back to 1
Yeah, but it’s must better to use an infinite HP cheat so you don’t have to worry about that crap at all!
"And that's where the record stands today." left me expecting another "This would normally be a problem, but Skate makes quick work of it."
Earthbound is such a comfy game to me. The visuals, the audio, and watching other people play it fast and learning about the speedrun makes me feel so relaxed and cozy. I've watched people run EB on twitch countless times over the years and I never get tired of it lol. Thanks for this top tier cozy video. 💖
Somebody’s been watching some Summoning Salt, cuz your new channel Direction is DOPE! Well done, Doctor. Keep up the amazing hard work. I’ve been waiting for you to make this video fir a while now
Leaving a comment cause i agree ( and to improve the algo ).
The age of speedrunning is over, it's now the age of speedrunning documentaries.
I can't accurately express how exciting it is to find an uploader making high quality long form content with under 10k subs. Amazing content my dude.
i gotta be honest, my favorite part of these history videos is always the really early sda era stuff. that skateman run from 2012 is so fascinating to me, because you almost never see speedruns from that early with a full stream layout, facecam, livesplit (or in that run's case, Wsplit) and its such a cool time capsule into the past
Im glad Speed Demo Archive is no longer prominent. Their policy of rejecting runs because they didn't like the way they looked was really stupid.
Rejecting low-quality runs was an objectively good thing.
Edit: I will remake this video one day!
Thanks for watching! Please leave a like if you enjoyed! Be sure to check out the runner's streams!

I'm in love with historians but with the lofi and smoothing voice... You're on your way to be big. I always tell everyone to find speedruns they dont know that have some crazy mechanics and thats what you do. I love that. Im here for the long haul.
Recently discovered your channel, can say I'm a huge huge fan now. Was incredible to see and very shocked when you entered the story, awesome video.
This was a great style or speedrun storytelling, starting with an in depth explanation of the mechanics. I seldom have the desire to watch over an hour of anything, this is one of those exceptions. Well done.
Just wanted to say this is an awesome video and it got me through an unanticipated 18 hour day at work. Thanks!
I love your channel so much. Been binging your videos and playing FF7 Rebirth on Hard Mode while home and sick. Hope to see more FF speedrun progression videos in the future!
Great video Doc ! Always love the EB rep ❤️
this really good video showed up in my recommends!! earthbound is such a really awesome childhood game
awesome childhood game until giygas
@@emilian0e i believe that Earthbound tries to connect every single mood possible in a whole game.
from happy stuff, to weird stuff, to creepy stuff, to annoying stuff, through a lot of emotion trips.
thats why Giygas was the biggest cherry on top of a cake ever.
to show what a scary nightmare could be like.
I just found your channel, and all your videos are top notch. Keep it up man!
Woaaaaah the twist that the Historian is actually the history maker! Awesome video, Earthbound is such a great game!
Great video buddy, ez sub for me! Loved the music choice and when you took it in and out. Props to your own runs!
Awesome work on the speed runs and on producing this video
This was super well made and your voice is super smooth too. Thanks Doc
Was surprised as hell to see you put yourself into the runs and make some history congrats man this video was amazing to watch
Awesome video gamer, well worth the wait!
Doc! lets go man....great video with a smooth voice AH! gotta love it
Man I wish Earthbound was easier to mod. I'd love to play a new Earthbound game on the same engine with new maps enemies spells but same characters. There was one Earthbound game someone made in RPG Maker 2003 that was awesome
You should get more views!
Excellent video quality! No jokes, no "clowness" or some BS edit, This make the videos WAY more professional!
Thanks for the video!
This popped up in my recommended. Can’t wait to watch it!
Amazing video looking forward to more earthbound videos 😄
47:31 I'm in the video mom get the camera!
Good job on this Doc, very well done
Deserves way more views. Amazing video!
Great work, you deserve more attention!
Hello! I just wanted to say that I really enjoy watching your videos, I was a regular at your streams a while back but my change in lifestyle makes it harder for me to catch evening streams. But I hope you are doing great and achieving everything you are aiming for! Happy Christmas! 💜
Curaga! It’s good to see you and I hope the change in your lifestyle is going swell for you. Happy Christmas to you also!
@@DoctorSwellman It's going well! And thank you so much!
Ayeeeee thanks for the mention homie B) Great video, glad somebody finally put it together. Here's to a glorious future for EB speedruns 😁
Oh and also, super proud of you for all the hours and the crazy effort you put in to grinding your way to the top!!!!
Just wait until some crazy person decides to rng manip the whole game. Just a matter of time until someone does it. Could be years from now though. Probably best to wait for a good non glitch tas to come out and review what could be possible. Full length rng manips aren"t unheard of in gaming either. If i remember right, dragon quest 1 has one and final fantasy 1 has a tas full length rng manip. This would be sick though. Could seriously push it real close to the 3 hour mark.
Awesome video man!!!
Great stuff my dude!
Great Video Doc!
Haha watch most of your vids last night at work. Good job!
New fav yt.good job bro
It's criminal how little views this has, great video!
Thanks for making me binge watch. ;)
That's funny I was watching on stream and programmed the shutting down of my computer. And it shuted down 30 seconds before the video ended.
What a brillant documentary video ! Very well done Doc !
Nicely edited with the music at 28:50
found this video earlier on today, decided to save it for tonight (now) to be stoned while i watch it, this is gunna be great. best game ever that was made in that year, for this console.
Hey good runs my dude! You and everyone else
your style reminds me to "summoning salt" , very nice work!
Luv the content doc good shit
Great video. Helps me realize how much happened while I was away and just how far the run went!
Hey Doc, as someone who speedruns Earthbound glitchless, how much Salt is Summoned in a runner after messing up the RNG in the late game?
The History of Summoned Salt Glitchless Speedruns:
All of it!
goddamn this channel is severely underrated
Great vid!
It's so crazy to think I've been watching Andy's old runs for almost 10 years.
Damn my man the narrator swooping in at the end there did not expect that lol
I have a question, why do runners keep playing against the timer after they've beaten giygas, if beating giygas is apparently the end of the game? For example, all of the clips of andyperfect have him calling out the time of the wr/pb which you use to stand in for each run, but his timer keeps going as he plays the credits, the picky scene, and the final kill screen at the end. It confuses me that there's an entire split that is timed and played, but doesn't count towards pb/wr.
Japanese timing is from console on until "The End?" appears on screen, so Andy keeps his timer running to also have a reference to what the run would be if it were using Japanese timing.
Loved it!
Appreciate the video!
It's always awesome when the storyteller is in the rankings

Thank you for this video
So glad earthbound is on switch now, so I can play it again. Earthbound is a beautiful game with a astounding speed running community.
No mentions of Czikubi? Or is this before he started running.
I almost feel like you made this video to show off a little, heh heh~
But everyone here does a really good job with the big M2. The RNG is absolutely wacky to the point I'm astonished if a run gets finished. This is all much harder than a headline might seem! I've watched a lot of folks run EarthBound, even Doc, and my god, it's practically a coin flip with a weighted guitar pick!
This reminded me of something. I play Adventure of Link, and try to beat it without dying at all. If you've played it, you know this is a completely insane challenge. I did pull it off once, but there's a problem: in the final palace you'll have depleted most of your magic by the time you get to the boss. This is bad because you need magic to hit it. Fortunately, there are two magic recharge potions in the nearby room... Maybe. Each of them has a 50% chance of being a magic potion, and a 50% chance of being the hardest normal enemy in the game. So you're depending on a coin flip, after beating 99% of the game.
Very very detailed video also well made for such a length!
Thanks a ton!!
35:35 giygas type beat
this man dont know how to say psy this was honestly making me mad/sad/and giggle at the same time every time he says p-s-i
With help from "AndyPerfect" shocker haha. Good shit doc
you can say its RNG mani-manipulation in earthbound
"And his run was" *error sound* " *rejected.* "
Dank.
Gotta feel bad for evil_ninja ☹️
I'm surprised that the speed runners don't take a little bit of time to do the rock candy/ sugar packet trick mentioned even in the included strategy guide for boosting stats. Sure it's a random of four stats that it increases but spending ten minutes doing it for a few characters massively boosts their gains next level with no consequences.
The greatest game that has ever been made.
The reign of ulti
I'm surprised rng manip didn't spawn its own category given that some quit because of it being too difficult.
I was able to glitch off the stairs to out of bounds in my first run of Earthbound (on WiiVC) I think in a pyramid.... But I was scared I would softlock and I hadn't saved, just save stated, so I save stated back to a safe point. Never could replicate what I did. T_T
good video
16:34 "death" of everdred
33:28
Dank as fuck run
I miss the Sunday sequence break :(
Nice
Great video man. I personally feel speedruns become way less interesting once RNG manipulation becomes the main component
Vid is great but the background music is a bit too loud, hard to focus on what you are saying
Mother 3 next boo boo
I wonder what times people could get if they used an 'always skip' cheat on an emulator.
W!
I'm always amazed how people even find these glitches 🤣
Oh hey my birthday
cory
nice video but sometimes your voice/words get a little muddled so i don't hear what you said
Yep, these older vids of mine were pretty off with the audio. The newer ones are much more improved
Positive comment
Fцскing legend
Hecc is an oh-net? It’s ONEtt to go with TWOson, THREEd, FOURside, and FIVEguys.
i like girls with the bumps
Good video, I would have cutdown on the run by Skateman if you are going to more or less copy SummoningSalt's formula (The way he talks, the music and overall how it is edited). It is kind of long and it would feels stretched for a fan of speedrun but not EB in particular. It is also kind of weird when you are part of the runners in the video and is the person holding the record by the end, it is like a reporter reporting on himself for acknowledgement. But still, well done, the effort can definitely be felt in this video.
So Summoning Salt actually does this exact thing in his “Quest to Beat Matt Turk” video, and I honestly love it
@@geoffkannenberg6167 yeah but he talks about the parts that will be relevant later in the video, as for this one we see the whole thing, which is not necessarely bad depending on the target audience. SSalt's videos appeal to anyone interested in speedrun and this video seems to attempt to mimic him so I was just pointing out where it could be made better in my opinion.

Would love to see you develop your own style instead of almost 1 for 1 a summoning salt video.
Tried to watch, but audio levels are all over the place. Captions are too :(
