Episode #5 of casual vs speedrun in gta v here is probably going to show some of my favorite skips in the whole series - one of the few times rockstar is very freeing in the way that the player is allowed to complete the mission.
This episode of Casual VS Speedrun was recorded on my new computer, and the audio/video should be slightly improved already, and I'll be playing around with more improvements in the near future. I might even turn the in-game settings up... personally I don't mind when a game looks terrible as long as it runs smooth, but considering each episode has over 200k views and two of them have over a million... I guess better quality would be a good idea lol. Amazing to see GTA V Speedrun videos doing so well all of a sudden.
I am playing as both the casual player and the speedrunner, so it's like facing against myself with a 10 foot pole. For the casual player, I play the game as if I've watched a GTA V speedrunner play the game once or so, so I know the mission order and where to go between missions, then play the missions as the game instructs you, giving the most shockingly average gameplay you've ever seen.
The Classic% Category in GTAV Speedrunning is the most competitive category, you can see the leaderboards and view all the details and rules here if you so wish: speedrun.com/gtav

![Is it faster to Speedrun GTAV in Japanese?
Many speedruns use the Japanese or other countries versions of their game to go faster. Would this be faster in GTAV or not, and why?
This is based off a question posed by looking at the region specific changes made to the Japanese Version of Grand Theft Auto V. Well take a look at how some speedruns are faster using language or region specific changes, and compare those strats to how they might work in GTAV.
