    Great video. Glitchless has gotten so optimized that it would require the initialization of a 12D ping pong game to best the current world record...
  • @the_sidious
    12:39 Update for anyone curious, I now hold all 24 Glitchless Individual Levels.
  • @hudson963
    I think it's funny that Glados wakes up a test subject and 15 minutes later is dying by said test subject.
  • @martkart5858
    Interesting how this "Me" speedrunner sounds almost as good as "Msushi"
  • @zoochable
    Amazing video, Msushi! It feels great to be mentioned alongside all these innovators of the game. Portal Glitchless will always have a special place in my heart <3
  • @kokenmetroy
    5:32 this man kills the companion cube in like a mili second, while I stood there for 20 minutes with the thoughest decision of my life ;(
  • @paualamar
    I really like how you talk respectfully about people who were (are?) effectively your competition, and be that for the sake of informing objectively or born out of true sportsmanship THIS should be the norm, not the exception. I guess I’m too used to regular sports/sports media where they belittle each other and all that toxic stuff.
  • @endruv_2287
    Speedrunning is one of those rare communities where I can trust an active participant to present an objective and unbiased video.
  • "How do you speedrun Portal without glitches?" A lot of slam dunking cubes on buttons
  • @saucevc8353
    Imagine how glados feels seeing chell rapidly move through every chamber at the speed of sound, escape her murder attempt in milliseconds, then proceed to barrel towards her with murderous intent...
  • @nisio7320
    I legit got my first sub 20 yesterday, nothing like a Msushi vid to say "Oh, you thought you were good?"
  • @psionick5106
    10:37 You see, you would never understand the language of a God, but I can translate it for you. 11 dimensions is the highest dimension according to string theory, meaning that Shizzal is playing the game at a level humans could never understand. Even this, though, is not enough for our lord Shizzal, and he is ready to activate his Dark state; a state of ascension.
  • @astroguy4957
    Imagine how boring glitchless would be if the portal gun was hitscan instead of a fast projectil
  • One of my favorite things about the video is the subtle matching of the clips to the music, it really brought my hype up while watching
  • @Mayrink.
    Shout out to the Portal Done Glitchless segmented speedrun that still somehow beats the current single segment world record despite being six years old at this point and surely quite outdated. Extra shout out to the Portal Done Glitchless v2 that is currently in the works and may or may not beat a certain time goal...
  • @DoctorSwellman
    My man pulling out the glitchless world record montages and honestly I’m 100% here for it. Amazing video
  • @XnonXte
    Although this category is the most newbie friendly category which often recommended for new runner to learn, this is by far the hardest one in the game if not the hardest, because you are forbidden to use any glitches whatsoever, in fact the use of glitches is making the game easier, also this category is the longest pace in the game and every mistake even micro mistake is unforgiving.
  • @Cuddly2
    Started learning this a few days ago. Using WadaWada's tutorial. I'm very inconsistent and haven't got the hang of bhopping yet but with practice I'm getting better :)
  • @SilentMeteorite
    How fast can I beat Portal without glitches? Uhhh maybe, like, 10 hours?
