In February 2021, six speedrunners set 36 untied world records in the span of only 1 month; and the shortest month on the calendar at that. But how did it happen? How did they do it? What explains this incredible speedrunning gold rush? This is indeed the story of Perfect Dark's Infiltration stage, the discovery of the broken hoverbike clip, the six speedrunners who broke incredible records, and all the madness that ensued. In this video, we will examine speedrunning history, and explain the techniques, strategies & discoveries used to achieve such incredible records. Speedrun analysis, discussion and comments are always welcome!
