Portal's INSANE Chamber Zero Speedrun Skip

Usually, the first level of a speedrun is pretty boring. But in Portal, the most impressive skip happens within the first minute of the run...

Music used (in order):
Portal OST - Android Hell
Portal 2 OST - Robot Waiting Room #4
Baba Is You OST - Baba Is You Theme
Ducktales (NES) - The Moon Theme

Videos referenced:
@SourceRuns "Portal Done Inbounds - 9:17 - Segmented WR"
@Jukspa "New Save Glitch Method"
@Jukspa "totally RTA viable 02 cutscene skip"
@CantEven "Portal any% World Record Speedrun in 6:26"

Thanks to attmayMB, baister09, tenai, xeonic, and frozenflygone for helping with the video creation process.

This video is not an actual speedrun world record, nor a speedrun tutorial. This video is a showcase of a speedrun strategy that goes in-depth to the various tricks, glitches and bugs that make the strategy possible.

Fun fact, when the 00/01 radio launch was first discovered (sunsette's route), I was the first runner to get a verified world record with it!

I'm not too content with the voiceover in this video - I'm a little close to my microphone at times. Sorry! I'll try to work it out for next video.

When life gives you radios, jump on them and clip through elevators... of course

[CantEven]

Very nice explanation of the routes and route history, I honestly forgot that k80 literally said "just stand here lol and you clip in"

[fryingpanda]

Portal devs: wouldn't it be fun of we gave the players little radios?
Speedruners: mmmh.... yes....

[mateipasionatul]

even if i don't speedrun the games, these videos are still really interesting to watch

[NiepKiep]

As a great man once said:
"They say that science is built on the shoulders of Giants. Not at Portal Speedrunning Community. We do everything from scratch. Only Radios. No handholding"

By the time this video is over, an OoB runner has made it out of 00/01 once

[cinnabunben]

ohh, so this is why it said ur playing “premiere pro” on discord for a couple days lol! great video!

[MishaMusic]

wow your channel is growing, it's all well deserved man!

Also great video as always, thank you for bringing attention to Portal speedrunning in a cool way. :)

I love how speed runs evolve going from a fast classic run to basically who can most efficiently code god mode

[impulsenew]

thx 4 adding a part from "baba is you" soundtrack. And for great video too!

8:55

that reminds me of how in HL2 EP2 if you bring the pickaxe in the elevator into the next area it will have an effect kinda like that

[freshIight]

Must feel quite nice to be greeted personally in the current wr video by the speedrunner!
Also: CantEven just playing "Still Alive" at the end of the video is such a flex, lmao!
And congratulations on the 16m 18s on your Portal Reloaded no SLA

[adamantite]

This. THIS will be good for the economy.

[attmayMB]

Wait. I didn't know Msushi had a Patreon! I'm getting in my time machine right now so I can start supporting him yesterday! I want my name added to the video!

My mom glitched a button by forcing a cube down into it, was pretty funny

[ericb]

1:35 the way he started to float above the map like that was so in tune with the music lol

[jg-]

My favorite skip in 00 is actually one used in glitch-less runs, where you throw the radio into the doors as they close, propping them open, and eliminating the need to interact with the cube.

[Nathan-nbyk]

I was literally about to start speedrunning portal but watching msushi talk about speedrunning is more important

[tenaibms]

Nice video! I'm so glad this glitch actually got covered, since it seems to be the one thing that any new any% runner would want to try, and knowing it's history is just really cool.

"we dont know much about the radio launch, it's kind of an anomoly in the source engine"
it works because thw engine it's self is an anomoly, nothing makes sense in the source dimetion
