Hello Neighbor speedruns are incredibly broken

Hello Neighbor is an incredibly broken game, and speedruns are the perfect area to show just how broken this game can get. While speedrunning Hello Neighbor, we do a ton of amazing strategies, exploits, and glitches to go as fast as possible.

My channel generally focuses on a more casual side of speedruns. With these videos I want to show off cool speedruns, explain how they work, and entertain. Hopefully you enjoy the content and maybe even take up speedrunning yourself, because it is truly a lot of fun!

Hello Neighbor description (from Steam):

ABOUT THIS GAME
Hello Neighbor is a stealth horror game about sneaking into your neighbor's house to figure out what horrible secrets he's hiding in the basement. You play against an advanced AI that learns from your every move. Really enjoying climbing through that backyard window? Expect a bear trap there. Sneaking through the front door? There'll be cameras there soon. Trying to escape? The Neighbor will find a shortcut and catch you.

Suspenseful horror gameplay that focuses on sneaking around your neighbor's house
Constantly evolving experience where the Neighbor's AI counters your moves, and learns from what you do
Sandbox-style gameplay with plenty of environmental interaction and physics

When you're a terrifying child kidnapper but the kid across the street is an omniscient demigod.

The splits for this game are insane:
[Roof skip]
[Basement ]
[Childhood trauma]

I want to see a horror movie, but with speedrunners as the main characters.

I feel like the lore for this game is basically just "lmao let's see MatPat try to wrap his head around THIS" 🤣

[Fosi]

It gets bigger because you're growing mentally, embracing and surpassing the traumas you had at that age. Bigger = Stronger in a kid's simple way of thinking.

[NOBLE]

Technically both neighbors are crazy. One breaks and enters and roams, the other builds his house into a fort

[Louie]

Now idk if this is exactly why but I believe the reason we get bigger at the end is because it's metaphor, it's showing we're overcoming over child hood trauma, because the shadow figure is literally the character's representation of his trauma, so by getting bigger, he's able to get over the trauma that's haunted him for years

[fangleone]

The lore behind the last part is basically growing in life far enough that you grow big and confront your fears. The shadow monster is the player's fears.

Imagine how neigbor would be confused when a random kid using a trash can and its lid to parkour inside your window steal a key to your basement and enter it in 50 seconds if it was a real situation.

Imagine, this random kid breaks into your house and your basement, which only you should know how to do, in less than a minute, so you kidnap him and leave him down there, then he breaks out in 2 and a half minutes. Then when he moves back later, when your house is much more secure and fortified, it takes him less than 3 minutes to break into your basement again

[Wallmart]

When you are a child kidnapper but the kid can glitch through walls and can basically teleport.

[ShortHax]

When the new kid across the street infiltrates your basement in under a minute

“It was all just a dream” is like the biggest no-no when writing stories. It invalidates the whole experience it’s like writing 101

[kadu]

The lore is basically a developer had a great idea with a adaptive enemy that would put traps and adapt to the breakins of the player and he didn't know where to go from there and we ended up with this mess. It was such a let down for me back in the day seeing the final product end up as this garbage with nonsense happening to then try and wrap it with a "it's trauma nothing ever happened".

[PositiveSpeed]

The reason why you get bigger 8:55 is because your present self is becoming stronger than the shadow and being less feared from it

I actually skipped the 2nd house part with the trampoline on a normal playthrough. I got grabbed by him, so spammed space while going backward and somehow got flung into the air, then i just went to the trampoline and landed on it.

"Getting this umbrella let's you fly...which doesn't make too much sense."

Me: I'm Mary Poppins y'all!

In Act 2, there is an extremely RNG based way of getting over the fence. By climbing onto the roof over the porch and being seen by the neighbor, he might throw milk at you. Jumping when it hits you on the feet will launch you over the fence with supersonic speeds. And no, I definitely did NOT find this by accident and definitely haven't abused this ever since.

“I’m pretty sure it’s like childhood trauma, something like that. I don’t really care, all I need to do is make it to this door.”
Just feels like a solid quote out of context
