As the Hit & Run lead designer, this is incredibly fun and heartwarming to see. (And no, I don't think we knew about a single one of these optimizations during development!)

[LordVulcanus]

35:38 "The record had become very optimized." (There is 40min left in the video)

ngl i laughed at "carl skip" but i completely lost it at "carl skip skip"

“Such a stupid simple mistake” I say to the World Record holder for missing a 5 sec time save on a game I didn’t even know had 7 levels cause it was too hard for me

[reficel]

drop everything. stop driving, stop sleeping, stop giving birth, hell stop breathing. summoning salt dropped

Fun fact! At some points during his reign at the top of ASM, Liquidwifi also held world record in every major category at the same time (All Story Missions, 100%, Any%, NG+, No Mission Warps and All Tasks, referred to as the infinity stones in the community). As far as I'm aware, no one else has managed this until HomerOfSteel recently achieved it! Although his 100% record was taken back by liquid 5 days later, It's still really cool and definitely solidifies this era as HomerOfSteel's

didn't think we would be watching a 72 minute video on the simpsons hit and run speedruns tonight but here we are

[njohn]

It’s always wild when people are competing for like 20 seconds in an 80 minute run

[ironicanimewatcher]

robocroc fr just shows up, revolutionizes the speedrun, refuses to elaborate and leaves

[MarioKonga]

14:01 To be fair, this is very in character for Chief Wiggum.
"They went inside the house? Ah, screw it."

[iiWNMii]

That iguana mango fact is the type of research I need in my journalism. Top notch work

[XerxesTexasToast]

HomerOfSteel is such a perfect, perfect username for a guy who speedruns a Simpsons game.

[SeraphimKnight]

>liquidwifi gets sub 1:20
>glace at time left to video
oh this bout to get good

[LiquidWIFI]

Absolute PEAK cinema

Thankyou for making this video :)

[toofunny]

Holy crap Marge, this is crazier than that time I got my syndicated animated comedy gags mixed up!

[joypink]

Having a runner called Liquid Wifi and naming the chapter ‘Gaseous Ethernet” is art.

[Daniel-rnxs]

15:52, I was ready for Matt Turk to come in out of nowhere

[ThaRixer]

Liquid is a legend. I first knew him as a Kingdom Hearts 2 speedrunner back in the day and was clearly a cut above the rest in that game too, getting the first sub 4 hour time. His dominance in Simpsons Hit & Run is pretty astounding, all while being a pretty entertaining streamer too.

Great video once again Salt

I was like "Hmm I never really got into this stuff, but I know tons of people love this guy's videos, and he's covering one of my childhood games apparently, so I'll check it out", and the moment he said "Carl skip" I was hooked lmao
