[WORLD RECORD] The Tower Speedrun in

- this is probably the last run i will ever do on the tower.
update 2.206 made it so the cursed thorn, the last boss in the secret hollow, only requires 10 hits to kill instead of 14. this was hinted at in geometry dash lite, as it was updated a couple months before 2.206's release with the same changes, probably to test and gather feedback. this obviously saves a lot of time in the speedrun because you don't need to hit the boss nearly as much as before. it also argubly makes the boss less annoying because you don't need to get quite as lucky as before. some players like @Tigger4048 (the goat) already tried lite on mobile before 2.206 and managed to get runs on the secret hollow way faster than any pc runs.
and... i am not happy about it at all. i was dreading the possibility of this change being added to the game, and now it has been. i'm sad and disappointed because it basically ruins the entire history of tower speedruns before the update's release. the chase for the first sub 7 was one which can never be replicated, and to this day my 6:59.850 is STILL the world record for pre-2.206. but now getting a sub 7 is very easy and doesn't require much optimisation at all. i wouldn't have cared if this was the case from the beginning, but now the history of the speedrun is ruined permanently.
the runs from before this version will still remain as the hardest feats by far. and i have no intention to try and optimise this further, im basically quitting. the speedrun itself is gruelling to do and i get so nervous and frustrated at it nowadays that it's simply unhealthy for me. this run is by no means perfect, it's simply good enough for me. im still happy with the people i have found and the positive experiences ive had doing this. @Tigger4048 , @phynn2377 , zyngo, and others are probably going to beat this sometime. 6:3x is definitely possible. but for now, im done. thank you all for watching. - Hry
I'm not a fan of this update tbh. Maybe my opinion will change in the future when it becomes more optimized. But for now, it's just very unsatisfying to do runs. It's just annoying that the old speedruns don't mean much now. Wish this was implemented sooner
What is lil bro yapping about
"it's too late" 2.21 isn't even out yet chill
"no skill"
it's literally the same thing but slightly less luck since the cursed thorn has less hp
also robtop doesn't care about speedrunning he actually cares about the stability and fun of the game
@@DecidiousGreensThe update isn't even the problem. It's just annoying that all the work we put in months ago is pretty much useless now. That's why none of us have the motivation to speedrun this anymore. I don't have a problem with Rob updating the boss, it's just unfortunate. Also there really isn't anymore skill involved. The past 3 wrs do 1 or 2 strats compared to the 5 that used to be required for wr. It's just so unrewarding rn
@@Tigger4048yea I agree with u btw I believe u can get wr
I kind of wish robtop never nerfed the boss tbh, now sub 7 minute times are a lot less of an a achievement than before.
GG on the run though
yo it’s the guy
There should be a different category for 2.206 and above
no one cares about speedrunning robtop just wants the game to be more fun
GG!
Hi
The boss really got nerfed 4 hits less lol GG on wr
GG, its been great watching you absolutely destroy the category (before 2.206), and being part of the community while it was still really active. Its a shame it had to end like this, but congrats on everything you've achieved in this game!
You are crazy, HUGE GG!! :D
wow this descripsion is really sick and sad in one time
Wow, very nice
The actual gd speedrunning goat. GG on wr, shame you won’t do this run anymore :(
good work Alex!
Nice bro ❤
some good content to edge to rn
my goat 😭we will miss you
There’s something off about sub 7 minutes being so easy to achieve but at the same time it makes the game better for new players so that’s a plus
2.206 moment
will you attempt to speedrun the tower when floor 2 comes out?
the goat
So much aura
😮😮😮😮😮
Too bad it got nerfed, but still GG on this
Omg
already wtf
Such a shame.Now anyone can get a sub 7 D:.
So it’s possible to get under 6 minutes and 30seconds now if you get perfect run
no that's still too fast for a human
@@alexplaysgd what would be the lowest time that you can get estimated
@@agoddot 6:38 probably
Possible now lol you would need god luck on cursed thorn tho
Hey
first
Worst update
I actually like it, it would be better if it was introduced a bit earlier but it's good
