luckiest

moments

in

speedrunning

first. We have this coughing clip like a red Pokémon running around, enters Giovani's fight and as you're about to hear, he forgot to use an elixir to heal himself because he can't kill his needle king in one hit, it seems like the Career is over, luckily for him in this ice game. The beam has a 10% chance to freeze your enemy, which is exactly what happens right when he needs it.

Oh no, I'm lost, I forgot to use the elixir, oh my God, I had to use the elixir, I forgot to use the elixir, oh my God. i forgot to use the elixir oh my god oh my god i could die here i could die here my adrenaline took over me critical critical woo oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god that just happened that just happened that just happened to you You may recognize this clip for my top 10 saves video before this fight. Caleb forgets to equip the transformation skill, which is very important because it gives you the ability to do single hits of damage.

You need this guy to have exactly 7777 health to kill him. with this method, because you have no transformation, you need to reach 99 exactly to get through this fight, let's not do any transformation, oh okay, now this snow is really over, man, you gotta be kidding me, why ah friend of all things? forget that it has to be the most important thing, it's okay, it's still possible. I don't even know why red magic status 13, look at me being 99 years old, oh my god, that would be so amazing like that. I got it, oh my God, you, Abney. it's an amazing mario kart 64 running, while first of all you have a 10% chance of getting a mushroom from any item box during this race Abney didn't get one, not two, not three, both for mushrooms, unfortunately his microphone It was off, so we didn't do it.

Listening to his reaction is still pretty crazy luck, although Wurster is known for having terrible luck during his Pokémon runs, however this time things go his way, not only does he avoid all encounters in over 80 patches of grass when he finally gets a meeting. exactly what you need arrow of the sacred subsystem yes Jen for the fighters in the room III plays I think I can I would like to buy two like 98 is not the same old mine well now only one encounter and it is a poliwag poliwag poliwag poliwag Oh inside the pianta salon in Paper Mario, the door of a thousand years, there is a slot machine, you can get three sevens by stopping the three wheels in very precise times, in this case, sanity is just trying to throw your coins, but when you succeed, You are very lucky, thank you.

It's that easy and then I'll bet too much because I don't mind taking Are you kidding me? Are you real right now? I just wanted to bet it because I don't even care anymore. This is an old clip. from trihex running Yoshi's Island at 100%. I guess he was wrong and that's why he ended up in the bonus stage where you are forced to complete a memory game that is spaced out while the game shows him all the tiles, so he has to do it. instead guess 28 to RL videos like no speed come on five guesses here we have slask running ocarina of time 100% bomb count is a big deal in this race so there are points where you need to farm bones, any given section of grass has a 1 in 16 chance of dropping bombs and slask gets seven of them or interestingly you see this in Super Mario 64, there's a trick called no cannon where you snag the corner of a wall and grab a star, it's one of the most precise tricks in the world. game but luckily there is a consistent setup in this race the cheese makes a mistake and jumps off the board but somehow still gets the exact angle and position to get the star just look at it look what I just did oh god My, I just did it.

I didn't make that Jesus Christ that will be in the archives for the rest of my life. Oh my goodness, speaking of precise tricks, we have this video of cosmo doing some work in a vacuum. The angle required for this trick to work is the size of eight percent of an ESS turn. which is incredibly small, it does a setup to get the angle and then as link clips it gets hit by a falling rock but the link is hit in the exact right direction to hit the loading zone and cancel out on the same box, what makes this work, this race is over. being my personal best Oh my God did you see that?

Oh my God okay wait I don't even know why I have to go here and now to finish this video let's take a look at Luke Pettit and the Frigate of the. The secret agent race is one of the most frustrating in the game, not necessarily because of its difficulty but because of its extreme luck factor. One objective in this race is to help four hostages escape after you free them. They run around the boat at random until they escape at some point you have to run the race as fast as possible and the hostages will almost never escape in time;

There are only a handful of races that have come close to this, so the odds of Luke completing this race in 58 seconds and having the hostage escapes are extremely slim, but that's exactly what happened just two months after set the previous record of 59 seconds.
