 Speedrunning, it's a thing that people do. Yeah, great intro, sure. Specifically, Mirror's Edge is a great game to speedrun. Why? Because people have figured out really great ways to speedrun it, but also it's a cool parkour game. So it seems really fun to speedrun. Justin, the lovely person that edits all of the videos, speedruns Mirror's Edge himself. And so I thought, hey, why don't I try and speedrun Mirror's Edge? And we'll see what he thinks of this. This isn't a fully fleshed out idea. It was just like, what if I played Mirror's Edge and tried to figure out how to speedrun it? So we're gonna do that today. I have not played Mirror's Edge in a really, really long time. I don't remember how to play it. We're just gonna play the first part of Mirror's Edge, basically up until you get into the helicopter. That's what we're gonna speedrun. I think I have to skip a bunch of this. Training time though, that might be good because I don't remember any of the controls. So let's actually, let's actually do this. This game came out in like 2009, 2009, 2010. It looks so good. Oh, baby boy. Oh, and we jump. Oh yes, and we slide. Oh, yeah. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Don't worry about me, everything's fine. Oh, oh, oh, I need to go around like this. Speedrunning. It's incredible. It sounds like a fart. Am I gonna just skip all of it? Oh, skip training. Yeah, let's do it. I know the basics now. You know, I'm a master speedrunner. So what we're gonna do is we're gonna go through this first part of the game. We're gonna go through this first thing and we'll see what speedrunning is, is really all about. Oh, Justin, can you feel the speed? You've never gone quite this fast before. Oh, yeah. Oh, oh, yes. Oh, and then we pivot. Ah, and then we jump, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam. Oh, wait, we need to be on top. Hold on, hold on, hold on, don't worry about it. Everything's fine, and nothing happened. Okay, and we run, and we run, and we run, and we run, and we run. Speed, speed, speed, speed here. Yes, yes, yes, dude. Look at this speed. And ready? Big jump. Yup. Oh, bummer. I feel like I'm going extremely slow. Like, can you run faster, Faith? Like, am I going really slow? Cause I feel like I'm going super slow. Oh, yeah. Bang, and then we, and then we jump so many times, and then jump, jump, and we, ah. Ooh, bag, I got a bag. I've got the bag. Okay, get up on here. Yeah, go, Faith, go. This is what speed is all about, Justin. You should always try to get away from hostiles. Oh, and I will with the speed that I have obtained over the years of training that I have accomplished. Okay, run, yep, and then we, and, oh, hold on, go fast. Don't worry about it, everything's fine. Everything's fine, everything's fine. Everything's all good. I have dead, I have died. Oh, did you see that maneuver, dude? Did you see that maneuver that I just pulled? Nutty stuff. Is this where I'm supposed to go? No, I need to go out the, ah, don't worry about me. Everything's fine, get out of here. Let's run it again, let's run it again. Back to one, back to one. Okay, and then we go out the door. Yes, dude, yes, gamer, uh-huh. No, I keep pressing Q because I'm like, hey, Q's a cool number to press. Ready, and we jump, and then shift. Shit. That severely slowed me down. Go, gamer, go, gamer, go. Uh-huh, yep, nope, nope, oh, okay, okay, okay. Runner vision, yep. Justin, I'm not doing too hot in the speed running. I'm really not doing great. Mm-hmm, yep. Good, excellent, excellent, excellent. Justin, you've never gotten that time this good, have you? Dude, sucks to suck. Maybe someday I'll choo-choo you know how it goes. Uh-huh, uh-huh, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Yep, but yeah, baby. All right, we got to the, we got to the this, okay? Stage two, let's go. Okay, good, good, excellent, excellent. What's our time like? No idea. But hey, baby, that's the level. That's the level. All right, so now the real story begins. How to speed run Mirror's Edge. Let's get some skills in here. What's, uh, no, let's just observe. Let's just observe. Okay, so this is where it starts. You go back here, and then you go over to the corner, and then you do a bunch of kicks. Oh my God, what? What? How? Okay, so if you do a bunch of, if you do a bunch of kicks, then you'll fly. So you can kick and jump too? Oh my God. Okay, hold on, wait, wait, wait, I wanna try this. Hold on. Okay, so we go back here, right? Okay, ready? Man, we do a jump, jump, kick. This strat doesn't work. Okay, and then we, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh. Okay, well, we got the, we got the first one there. I don't know how to get the speed running thing up. Gamer, gamer! Guys, we're figuring it out. Not, we're not really figuring it out is the thing. Well, why can't I do it anymore? Why can't I kick in the air anymore? No! No! Why are you doing that? You should be doing a kick, a kick in the air. You go, and then you go, pew! Where on the wall does he kick? Uh-huh, right at that X. Oh, and he starts to wall run. Oh, it's about wall running. I can get behind that, I can do it. Hello? Okay, the game is reloaded. Do we jump and kick? What do we do? This game is stupid, and I hate it. Okay, okay, okay, I've got it. It's easy. It's easy. One of the easiest games to speed run is Mirror Edge, actually. Proof. I have it. I don't get what I'm supposed to do around here. Okay, so we go, and then we jump, and then we kick, and then we... Well? How? Maybe I need to kick on the thing? Mm-hmm. Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. Should I just skip this part? Maybe I should just skip this part. No, it's the first part, Ethan. You can't just skip the first part, dude. Okay, let's go back to the game really quick. So I need to, I need to have my key bind. Uh, Mirror Edge is not responding again. So I need to bind, jump to scroll wheel for some reason? Sounds good to me. I'll try it, and then I'll win the game. Watch, guys. Watch as my technique improves 10-fold just by this one exploit. There we go. This is what it means to be a gamer. Okay, ready? And we scroll, and then we scroll. What if we, what if... Hold on, let's go and try it at that spot, because it'll probably be so much easier to get it there than anywhere else. Okay, so bam, and then we... How do we do it? How do we do it? Justin's probably quaking in his little booths right now, being like, Ethan, Ethan, Ethan, come on, big Eve. Come on. No, what we do is we, we yump, right? We yump. What am I on? I don't understand. How? What do you mean that there's an invisible, there's no invisible floor? The dude said there'd be an invisible floor. There isn't. There is no invisible floor. And now I've gone off the cliff. I don't get it, dude. I want to be the fastest runner boy in the world, and I cannot at this rate. I've already been recording for a half an hour, and I've got nothing done. Oh, oh, I get it, I get it, I get it. I'm not supposed to jump kick after, I'm just supposed to kick. I don't need to jump. Once I'm wall running, I just need to kick, and it'll do it. Ready, ready, watch? Ready? And then... There was a little stall there. Did you see the smidgen of a stall? Oh, guys, the speed running gamer in me. It's coming out. Did you see it? Mama, I've done it. See, a tiny bit, a teeny, teeny weeny bit. The question is, after that, what do I do? Once I get that little tiny jump, do I kick again? I think I do kick again, right? So I just don't really understand at all. Is the issue here? Gonna try a little bit more, I'm gonna try a little bit more. Is this video entertaining? I have no fucking idea. Is it the worst, Justin? Throw in some sweet music right now. It's entertaining now, baby! Oh, entertainment! So what I'm doing, guys, is I'm going here. How do I get the second one? How do I do anything? How do I do it? How? What I'm doing is I'm jumping up on the wall, and then I'm wall running, and then I'm clicking to kick, and then I jump off, and then I have to kick again? That's what I'm doing. I'm trying to kick again. Do I need to jump and kick again? What do I need to do? Wasn't that new a little bit? Is this the worst video ever? Is this incredibly boring? All right, I'm gonna try and not jump the second time. I'm gonna try and just kick to click. Doesn't work. It doesn't work. I have to jump. Why did I change it to scroll wheel? I'm also not pressing scroll wheel. I'm pressing space, which I don't know if that makes a difference, but they do the same thing. So I'd imagine it wouldn't make a difference. It does make a difference. It does, because it worked that time. Here we go. Lord of the Flies, please give me the strength to channel my inner parkour demon and get this click, kick, jump, kick. Just once, that's all I want. Just once, just once. I did it! Once, I did it once! Just edit that out. We don't need to see that. We don't need to see that. Now ready, gamer? Ready for the my grand finale. The big finish, baby. The big finish. And that's how you speedrun Mirror's Edge, guys. Don't ask me how I did it because I can't tell you my secrets. You know, I've studied long and hard for years and years and years. Anybody else speedrun anybody else? I'm saying it as if I do. Does anybody speedrun Mirror's Edge? Maybe Justin will teach me how. Who knows? Justin, I hope that this wasn't the worst thing ever to watch and edit. I'm so sorry. Thank you all for watching. Stay mirrory, stay edgy, and I'll see you gamers later.
