I know it's a bit different than the usual uploads but I hope you all like it regardless! I feel like it's a pretty good explanation of how everything works in minimum captures runs!
(This was my sgdq submission, hope they like it!)
Love your vids, hehe
Thanks anyway!
Smallant1 that’s ok. When are the next stream highlights? Those are always amazing, but don’t be afraid to try new stuff. This is good, and th stream highlights are good too
Love your vids
I like your explanation
I'm not used to just Ants voice, it's so weird hearing him without seeing him like in the streams
When I started watching his any% tutorials I didn't even know it was him.
Can't let the camera capture his face or it wouldn't be minimum captures

Super Mario Odyssey speedrunner who has held world record times in multiple categories doesn’t actually know how many kingdoms there are in the game, but he can play it blindfolded
Why would you count when you can just automatically recall which one is next?
(I know you're not serious, I just couldn't think of a meme answer, sorry)
Why would you need to count if you want see
MUSCLE MEMORY BAYBEEEEEEE
No one cares about the dragon
17. Or 15. Or 14.
I just love how he metioned xD skip like it is an actual skip that saves time and not just a fucking meme that he does for chat because it takes exactly the same time, but is harder.
Isn’t it faster in 2 player?
@@taur3splays253 it is but in 1 player it takes the same time
It isnt a skip cuz you dont gain time but you lose time if you fail to do it
@@Lordcoby im pretty sure in his latest runs, he has gotten so good at it that it actually saves like a second
@@Wisper200 I think he has said that it doesnt save anytime, but it loses like 40 seconds if failed. If it did save time other speedrunners would also do it
Devs: so in this you capture 100s of things
Speed runners: there’s 3 actually
Super Mario: Into the Marioverse
Devs: We have created a new system into a mario game! We hope you enjoy our hundreds of captures avalible-
Speedrunners: 3, take it or leave it.
@@helpmeimakitkat I was gonna say that
And 2 are just wires
Nintendo: we have created a new mario game! Capture more then 1 hundred o-
Speedruners: 3 WE ONLY DO 3 NO MORE, NO LESS
Ant: “If you don’t know what a capture is it’s when Mario throws Cappy on an enemy and takes control, or captures them”
Ant two minutes later: “It’s a pretty easy trick, just a roll cancel to clip through onto an invisible platform where we then jump to a few other invisible platforms, get the moon, clip back out of bounds, and teleport to the checkpoint.”
Tyler Stansel Yeah, i replied on his comment, unsure who his intended audience is.
Well defining a capture is important as the run is based off of getting the least of them possible. They could be familiar with the any% run and the lingo involved without knowing what is considered a capture.
Edit: His audience would be those who have played SMO and maybe watched some any%
@@PowdergameFan18 His intended audience is people attending GDQ (games done quickly). It basically amounts to people very familiar with speedrunning in general, but not necessarily familiar with Mario Odyssey as a game.
@@fernfern0 His audience should be anyone as at GDQ people would be watching who don't run smo. He explains a capture though because otherwise people think things like switches or scarecrows are captures.
@@adamfreed2291 lmao games done quickly
Minimum captures? More like No Unnecessary Transformations (NUT)
So that's what Nut Jumps are
@@fanboyyourguy That does not sound pleasant
The whole run is a NUT jump
*NUT*

Cappy: Doesn't look like you can brute force that...

It took until wooded for me to realize that this was actually live commentary. I thought this was post-commentary at first. Im very impressed by how well you can keep your focus while playing.
Conner Bondurant
This is live??
Dethaw live as in he's talking while playing he didn't actually stream this
Rando 97 he did
It took me until Bowser's Kingdom, right before he did the Nut Jump, when he said "I'm gonna shut up for a minute". This is impressive AF, he'd do a really great job commentating his own run at SGDQ.
The most impressive thing is when he's talking while doing the metro kingdom crc. He's explaining the trick while ground pounding with cappy every 2 seconds, and counting how many times he does it. How. I cant think about anything else while playing casually or I'll fall. This dude is just talking while counting two seperate things.
The real reason that the bowser capture can't be skipped is that he's required for xd skip

Super Mario Odyssey is literally built for speedrunning, Mario's moveset is amazing and many of the maps have faster routes built-in. Cappy even congratulates you when you find some.
Are there more where he congratulates you besides skipping the tunnel in Lake Kingdom? That's the only one I remember finding, but I'm curious if there are others.
I've found a couple but I can't remember exactly where they are at. I've only found them by accident.
There are also random coin piles in super hard-to-reach places, like on top of the giant doorway in the sand kingdom boss arena
I haven't found that 1 yet
@@SSM24_ one is in luncheon if u do a ground pound jump and cappy bounce
"This is probably my favorite cutscene in the game, you can see Peach screaming for help as you're leaving."

Also cappy 2 seconds later: oh NEVERMIND
i love how throughout all of this you can hear the passion and love for this speedrun in his voice. its nice to see how much he cares about it and it really shows in the gameplay
Its so weird hearing just smallants voice it feels almost out of an audiobook its so relaxing

@@AlphaFX-kv4ud Kt felt like a speedrun BABY WHOOOO
#it#
I have a theory that probably won’t work but maybe theoretically could…
You skip bowser capture by leaving him behind, doing some jumps up to the first wall you would have to destroy. If a clip is found for this wall you could skip every wall. Then there are invisible platforms outside the 2d area that you can stand on. If you leap to the pipe to the 2d area, stand on top of it, and do the three jumps, you can pass the 2d area. Then you clip through the walls again and you are in the final area. If you could find a glitch to get outside of the golden area or at least far enough you could get the cutscene and skip bowser. Just a thought that probably won’t work.
Wow
Ant saying 20 minutes activated my fight or flight response and my brain was genuinely confused that I couldn’t send the 20 minutes emote
Damn that makes me want to make a twitch account to watch this guy’s streams
@@want-diversecontent3887 do that. His streams are so entertaining. CZcams can't really show how it is to be there
Want - Diverse Content streams are waay better. he has a bunch of good content when streaming that he doesn’t post on youtube

“The cutscene” in sand kingdom during the All Moons run is better than the metro cutscene
Well yeah, but we'll take whatever we can get
56:06 "-or happen to go into a sub area somehow-". Isn't the room in the odyssey a sub area?
26:50 And what happens with the picture thing in metro kingdom? He said it would do something pretty clever later.

"With my hands and feet simultaneously"
Not even a minute in and I can already tell this dude is metal

“It’s like it doesn’t want me to clip out of bounds or something...”

Man it's almost like bounds are there for a reason, nah there's no way a gaming company would put walls in the game for a reason
I'm not terribly interested in speedruns, I watch you and like a few others, but man I could listen to mario odyssey tech from you all day. Idk why but when you talk about it I can tell you're actually interested and not just going through the motions, even when you are it's not that bad. Keep it up dude, great video.
This has become my go-to late night movie
Just watching a full run with no cuts is kinda relaxing? I'm not sure but I feels oddly nice to watch.
I remember when the first video I watched was the 11 captures run and I thought that was amazingly optimized. Now we are at 3 captures and it’s amazing to see how far the community has come.
Me: tries to get as many captures as possible
Speedrunners: me no capture

Love your content bro keep it up bro
one of my favourite videos by far, so much skill
Remember when Ant used to NOT complete the Nut jump first try? Crazy how the times have changed
I feel this video is edited because he got the Metro Kingdom CRC
@@MyHandleIsAplaceholder Nah he's just a legend
Ant has thoroughly trained his Nuts ever since then.
@@MyHandleIsAplaceholder I don't know if you watch his streams at all, but I watched a few of him trying to get this take for an SGDQ submission. He did this run and did this commentary, I don't know how many times, starting a new run, with full tutorial commentary every time, whenever things went bad. He did that several times in a row, before encountering technical difficulties, and deciding to do it off screen. That was actually quite some time ago now, and so I wouldn't be surprised if, rather than being edited, that this was just like, his 15th or 20th take of the same run.
So it's most likely just a single take, but just rehearsed like crazy. Which is also why his gameplay is so good.
Smallant after any amount of time passes: “It’s been 20 minutes, of course.”
Me with my ADHD
xD
those nuts actually take 20 minutes to grow
That was goo and really fun to watch! Great job! 👍

This was a very fun video to see from you, Ant. It's pleasant to listen to you talk at a slower and calmer pace, even though the energy you have when streaming is also fun :)
It was so nice hearing the full commentary!!! I think the only weird part for me was hearing you be so professional about XD skip! No "Guyss, XD!"
Have you ever tried doing a run where you switch the controllers, so your feet are controlling mario and your hands control cappy? I always like seeing you do challenges like that I imagine that one would be really disorienting. Great video by the way, always cool to see people trying out new styles for their videos
He did it with joycon in seperate hands I'm pretty sure :) but nothing like that I'm pretty sure!
Great video, This is so informative

@@ilovet5926 wait, do you really think that air and oxygen are the same thing?
@@ilovet5926 in addition to what other people said, it's not that air poisons fish, it's that their gills aren't made to breathe air efficiently. Underwater, their gills can spread out and get a ton of surface area exposed to the water, but on air, their gills collapse and aren't fully exposed. So they actually can absorb some of the oxygen from air, but it's not enough compared to water, so they can't get enough oxygen and they suffocate.
I have a sneaking suspicion that he’s just going to complete captureless sometime soon....
In 20 minutes of course
and then complete no moons in another 20 minutes
This is my favorite video of all time!
This deserves more likes than it has, great job on the run!
I really hope next year he doesn't waste anyone's time and instead goes straight to a _bread-is-soup%_ run
Except it's actually a Cookie Clicker category
That wouldn’t take any time though, because bread has always and will always be soup.
The rules for the run is just “make bread from scratch as fast as possible”
@@domotron3598 Nonono, the category rule is that you have to make bread as fast as possible, but everyone makes soup because it saves time.

And i loved every minute of it
Dude I’m surprised i sat through this, Really great vid 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
DO MORE OF THESE SPEEDRUNS THEY ARE AWESOME.
The kind of content I like.
I just started replaying odyssey today since I got a new switch and I was thinking “I should speed run this”. Then I proceeded to spend 2 hours running around cascade kingdom like a crackhead trying to get all the moons.
I didn’t get all the moons. I gave up. Then I did the same thing in the sand kingdom.
That one in the sky is super hard to get. That's the only one I have not gotten.
Update: Moon obtained via CRC 😃 were making history
I really like how as the video goes on he sounds and probably gets more comfortable. It’s pretty cool to see
