I recently got a very big world record in the main GTAV Speedrunning Category, Classic%. This is a quick highlight video of the fails and successes from the run. If you'd like to watch the whole six hour run vod without any music you can see it here: youtube.com/watch?v=NbiXeH6ntsI
This is my second time holding World Record, but last time I only held it for 8 days and had only beaten the previous runner by 4 seconds. This run was over 3 minutes ahead of the previous World Record, and 4 minutes ahead of my previous best run. It's super satisfying, as I've been on pace to get this GTA V Classic% world record for 3 weeks, but kept having runs die 4-5 hours into the 6 hour run mostly due to bad RNG (Random Number Generation, aka the luck of things happening randomly in games), and one time where I choked the run away. I expect to improve this record but it's a big push in the run and my own skills, coming just after I finished Casual VS Speedrun in GTAV so the timing is perfect. I can let this world record sit for at least awhile while I begin to learn the other big GTA Speedrun, San Andreas.
This is a bonus video for my channel of just the highlights/big moments, I didn't want to publish the whole video publicly so I made this instead to celebrate :) I started speedrunning GTAV as my first speedrun ever 8 months ago (late November, 2018) and am kinda proud of myself for improving so quickly. The community is generally pretty awesome and my viewers encourage me alot. I am also officially doing YouTube and Twitch fulltime now, so this timing of getting the record again is just perfect.
Classic% is the main category because its the most competitive. It's a long run but not 10+ hours like 100%, has the most runners, and is the most skill based - driving, shooting, movement. My shooting is only "good" but my driving makes up for it. Classic% has two main rules - one, no using taxis to fast travel around the map. That removes skill. Two, no mission skipping. If you fail a mission 3 times, you can skip to the next checkpoint in the mission. It's very boring to do that for the entire speedrun so we banned it. Hence, "Classic%", the classic way someone plays the game.
