Q: When did you start streaming?

tournament. I joined it anyway with no experience, got third, then kept on runnin’.

Q: Why don’t you speedrun X game?

of I probably already have done. Any planned runs that I haven’t done yet are in the #sub-goals
channel in the Discord.

to happen to make it YouTube worthy.

BOTW

Q: What’s a BTB?
A: A BTB, or bullet time bounce, or bounce that boi, is when you land on an enemy on your
shield in bullet time. This increases Link's height and speed by x19.

Q: What’s a Superlaunch?
A: Pulling out the paraglider during a lag frame causes Link to gain double the speed in the air.

Q: What is Skew?
A: Skew is an angle that is stored by the game when Link shield surfs. It is activated when you
shield surf forward and unequip your shield midair, causing Link to snap to that angle and back
again for a few frames.
Q: What’s the Ragdoll Glitch?
A: When Link gets skew there is something called a ragdoll glitch, which makes it so the next
time Link was to go into ragdoll state, it is cancelled instead. This is why we bomb Link after
skew clips to fix the ragdoll state, and are thus able to BTB again.

Q: Are you gonna do another 100%?

A: Yes, shortly before BOTW 2 comes out.

Q: [anything related to botw 2]

A: How the hell am I supposed to know? There’s no information on the game yet!

Q: What are your PBs?

A: Any%: 32:21
All Shrines: 7:26:55
100%: 68:49:12
Minigame%: 4:02:03
Laid %: 55:30
Dog%: woof

SMO

Q: What’s All Moons?

A: All Moons is a long run (approximately 8 to 8:30 hours) in which you collect every moon
excluding duplicate shop moons and beat the harder Bowser fight. The total amount of moons in
the run is 880. The category used to be called AUM (All Unique Moons).

Q: What’s 3 Captures?
A: Insanity. CRC info. WR is currently 1h 16m 19s by RedSlay9.

Q: Does the nut actually have to be wet?

A: Yep. No one knows why. Some people think it’s because the hitbox is larger when the nut is
wet, making it easier to grab when you jump.

Q: What are your PBs?

A: 3 Captures: 1:21:22
4 Captures: 1:20:39
12 Captures: 1:23:39
13 Captures: 1:17:54
All Moons: 8:21:58
Any%: 1:03:25
Darker Side: 03:32:17
Minecraft

Q: What version of MC is this?

A: I run Random Seed Glitchless on version 1.16.1. The goal of the run is to get supplies, enter
the Nether, find a fortress (and sometimes a bastion) to get ender pearls and blaze rods, and
then head to the stronghold and the End to beat the Ender Dragon. I don’t run set seed because
I like to flex the RNG that comes w/ random seed.

Q: What are the flowers for?

A: They’re pretty :) (Suspicious stew. It’s delicious.)

Q: *any question about ocean monuments*

A: Ocean "Monument Strats" are a fast way of getting gold for trading with piglins in Minecraft
speedruns. You lower render distance to avoid getting “dinged” which causes slow mining.

Q: What’s the difference between the main timer and the stopped one?

A: The regular timer is the total time. In Minecraft, pausing and menuing don’t count, so the
“paused” timer is an in-game clock (actual run time). It updates periodically, so don’t worry if it
looks frozen or off. It’ll fix itself. See image >>>>

Q: What’s your any% PB?

A: Minecraft RSG Any% v1.16.1: 15:28!! Last PB was January 8th!

Q: What’s All Advancements? What’s WR? What’s your PB?

A: You get every achievement in the game. WR is currently unverified at 3:32:00 (as of Feb 10,
2022). My current PB: 8:48:41!! (Sept 10th, 2021). Use the !adv command during the run to see
my progress - updates every 5 mins.
