Braid Full Game Speed Run World Record 27:29 Part 1

My speed run of the full game of "Braid".
Note: This gameplay is all done by me, there is no sort of external program or "hacking" going on. Just a lot of practice. Feel free to ask me how I do certain parts if you like.

Update: Just got the number one spot on xbox 360 as well, although with a worse time (27:51).
Managed to do the final level so fast on that run that I glitched out the game and the princess didn't explode (I could run into her if I wanted), but the fire didn't go away either so I had to rewind quite a bit.

WHY IS THE FUCKING KEY TELEPORTING

[foaloal]

@shamsham1010 You mean the level around 12:25? The gimmick in that world is that when you move left time rewinds, so when I move left the key also rewinds to where it was previously, meaning if you move left you let go of the key.

What level did you find most difficult while doing this?

[foaloal]

@WhiteMamba2424 It's hard to pick a single level, but I'd say any level I use the ladder jump glitch in (since even with a lot of practice I still mess it up sometimes) as well as Fickle Companion (I messed it up a little bit in the video, but I've often messed it up much much worse). I also seem to screw up on the second Lair quite often, which cost me a lot of time in part 2 of this video. And of course the final level is very difficult, since it requires really precise timing.

@foaloal Yes

[WhiteMamba2424]

@foaloal Any tips on ladder jumping? I get it less than 10% of the time. Also, are you still actively going for a new record? Or have you moved on, satisfied with this (already magnificent) time?

So impressive; great job.

@foaloal Ah thanks

[foaloal]

@michaelfivez Oh, I see what you mean. The "puzzle" in that level is that it's irreversible, hence the level's name. So what I mean there is that the platform that blocks the other platform on the top left of the stage is not affected by rewinding, meaning that if you rewind too much it will block the other platform forcing you to restart the level. So if you're just trying to clear the stage, I suggest getting that piece first, by just waiting beside it.

@foaloal 05:56 but you get it at 06:56 how, it's blocked when i play it?
