Since we are close to TLOU2, let's look at some masterful part1 skill.
Anthony Caliber is a supreme leader of TLOUR speedrunning. He runs this game for years now, and even though he has very little [essentially none] competition these days, he still managed to do wonders and recently he finally broke 2h 50min barrier. While he is currently holding ALL TLOUR speedrunning records, his primary category is the hardest one - Grounded Glitchless.
In general, the game is hard to run because AI can at times be very random and so many things can go wrong. The game is evil. And playing on Grounded is of course very hard even without trying to play fast.
Before watching, a bit of a setup. In last days of April he had one of his best runs, managing to get both the elusive hallway launch [00:12:10] and even rarer truck push [1:07:10], the two glitches that are allowed in the Glitchless category because they can happen to anyone during the regular play. But in the second half of the run the game started acting up, and toward the end it randomly decided to block him for 13 seconds [2:39:30]. He got the new world record, but failed to break 2h 50min barrier by 2 seconds.
After this disappointment, few days later he booted the game and started his first new run after failing to go below 2h 50min and managed to do this without hallway launch and truck push tactics:
With this done, Ant went and got all the other records in other TLOUR categories, and then few days ago he booted the Grounded again and managed to get a new records with a few seconds faster run. 2h 48min is currently almost impossible to get without the discovery of some new strategies.
His Twitch channel and Discord is on lockdown right now due to leaked spoilers, but he will open up chat for non-subscribers after he finishes TLOU2. He also has full tutorials about TLOUR speedruning on his YouTube channel [due to leaks, comments are currently disabled on all vids except his recent record runs].
