"I thought about going for an all-perfect run"

Anyone who has ever played Rhythm Heaven instantly knew this was a horrible idea the moment it turned into a sentence lol

[Patterrz]

I could feel the anxiety during the Discord call section, they're having a casual conversation and you're having the fight of your life LOL

[TomFawkes]

Jaiden needs a heart rate monitor for these speedruns. Both for content and so her friends can see the exact moment she has the inevitable heart attack.

[SpiderSpiderOnTheWall]

I like how child Jaiden is just shorter modern jaiden, yet teenage jaiden is usually seen with a ponytail and a different outfit

[simplysquoddle]

I love the concept of Jaiden having a littleJaiden running around trying to confort her when she gets too stressed.

[SummoningSalt]

Can't wait to put you in a record history video Jaiden

Rhythm heaven has extremely strict timing windows. It's not for the faint of heart.

[artsyebonyrose]

"how does that compare to the world record? honestly not even close"

dude i know by speedrun standards 1 minute counts for A LOT, but realistically that's such a small ways off from first place! you were only a minute off!! that's incredible!!

[MrOgoneek]

imagine there being a guinness world record for having most panic attacks on a Rhythm game

[Alpharad]

is it just me or is Jaiden becoming a rhythm heaven channel

[DEV-gzeu]

I like how Little Jaiden has become her own character and has a physcial body that interacts with big Jaiden. Some of the stuff Big Jaiden and Little Jaiden do together is pretty cute.
Another great video with great animation.

Awesome to see the Rhythm Heaven series getting the love it deserves! Something that helps me stay calm during a high-stakes run (though, thankfully the stakes have never been *this* high, except on "Try For Perfect!" attempts.) is taking a breath in for four beats, and then out, in time with the song. Makes me feel focused and in-sync with it. Sometimes I time my breathing with certain prompts (like the spiders in Packing Pests) but I dunno if I'd recommend that ;^u^

[ArcadeAssassin]

Geez I'm impressed by the sheer amount of patience you needed to get through a single run, let alone get a record 💀

[TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

It’s really refreshing seeing Jaiden get more and more interested in the realm of speedrunning.

[informitas]

I've been thinking about how Jaiden has her own kid self in many of her "nostalgia themed" videos. It's like she is still friends with her young self, which is admirable, I can't stand even thinking about my childhood. Pretty sure past me is very lonely and sad.
I wonder where in time kid Jaiden in the videos stopped aging. How do you choose where to freeze time?
Anyway, hope whoever reads this has a good day.

fun fact! "the zone" is actually called a flow state! it's a well researched topic, it's that sort of feeling when your thoughts become more conceptual and you're just calm+focused on what you're playing (and you'll probably lose track of time). It can happen with lots of other activities too, not just video games! There's a lot more brain activity in different parts of your brain when you're in flow, highly recommend looking it up!

Oh hey, there I am at 12:14! 😄

Someone actually beat the world record today, so I'm down from 8th to 9th place... looks like I gotta get back to speedrunning so I don't fall out of the top 10. Congrats on your 1:53 run!

Hopefully I get to see more fresh faces tackle the All Medals category, it's such a solid run because it's less about extreme time saves and more about showing off your expertise with the game.

[gamerbullet]

Dang her red line prediction at 2:40 is on point!

[endlesswanderer]

"Started and immediately missed the first beat..."

What nobody knows about all those Mario speedruns is how many get bodied by that first Goomba before they turn on the camera. I call it the Pancake Run... cause the first one always comes out looking funny.

[lightning_]

The detail on these is insane. 0:36 and she's already snuck in this creative bit where she hits herself on the head with the controller. _can relate_
