Portal Level 19 Full Speed Run

Check out my video response for an even faster run!

**This is 100% uncut footage from beginning to end**

Ok, so I spent ~1 or 2 hours each of the last few nights identifying areas where I was wasting too much time, and then practicing better ways. Without using portal glitches that allow you to pass through walls, thereby skipping entire sections of the level, I have managed to beat the entire level from doors opening to white out in just over 9 minutes with all loading screens left in.

My total time to the last module in the incinerator is 8:28, but I clearly could have saved time in a few spots.

1:00-1:16 - I danced the opening in the cube tube, and then danced the drop tube, too.
1:43-1:49 - I totally screwed up the orange portal to get to the top of the low platform.
2:05-2:12 - I didn't time my jump through the portal correctly to have enough velocity out.
2:47-2:58 - Fell off the piston. Considering I always seem to get telefragged or glitched off the piston and crushed, I'll take a few seconds worth of delays.
4:28-4:34 - Missed the jump over the cube tube TWICE.
6:28-6:30 - I'm so fortunate I didn't fall off the ledge when I missed my shot. That would have been at least 5-10 seconds of waste. I escaped with just 2.
6:43-6:52 - Didn't properly place the portal to get the jump onto the catwalk.
7:43-7:47 - This was the first time I tried a floor portal to get the blue module. It uh... didn't work as planned.
8:16-8:24 - Missed the portal for the "not the surprise" module, and then had to re-open the incinerator.

I have more time-saving ideas that don't involve glitching, but they require pixel-perfect aim. Maybe someday I'll piece together a speed run where I just practice segments between loading screens for one super-duper time. For now, I'm pretty happy with my efforts. Any help on time-saving ideas, of course, is always appreciated.

hey when i look at those walls there pink wtf but mine is pc is this xbox

[whiteboyofvernon]

@11irishdude11 This is also PC. I... would calibrate your monitor's colors or something.

My question is: What i the scientific (or productive) point with all the random metal pistons just crashing into the walls?

[whiteboyofvernon]

@TwistedMetel97 You're thinking way too hard about this. Best I can figure, is that it's some sort of factory. For... um... yeah I have no clue. All I know is that a few times I glitched that part and telefragged hardcore. I worked out a better way to skip most of that stuff altogether, but never put it into another run.

For speed, floor portals below you are your friend. As an example, you'd have saved 2-3 seconds at 7:56 to 8:02.

[whiteboyofvernon]

@Sonar009 Indeed, and there are plenty of places to use that technique. This run is by no means optimized, but I put it up because it was the first uncut video on YouTube under the 10-minute cap that didn't involve anything OOB. I made another video after this one that's considerably faster where I start to use floor portals more. I started to learn to portal glitch through thin walls, but got stuck at one part and never pursued it any further before moving on to other games. Do you still play?

[teetertoter3]

It was a fun test, and we're all impressed at how much you won!

[Zombie14Slayer]

When I first got to the incinerator, I saw the cake sign, and thought, "YES! Finally! The cake!" Then I turned the corner... -_- "GLaDoS, You BITCH!!!!"

[IJustWatchEm71]

Incredible!  You, (subject name here), must be the pride of (subject hometown here)!

[BullPit4]

sound a bit like.. bad autotune singer :D

[william22044]

wow....your fast

[yuliting1999]

The cake is not a lie, it will only be served after you completed the game. Your best friend companion cube is there too :>

[thethinker372]

@MortalKombat773 I think the turret did that

Oh my god, this is the part I got stuck at for the longest time.

[iRuvHateMair]

lol what? this wasn't just test chamber 19, this was test chamber 19, escape_00, escape_01 and escape_02.

[Drakeol]

Lmao when I did the 5:36 part, i didn't use the rocket. I just got a chair and a cpu case to climb up there xD.

[RedDeadTutorials]

amazing
