I beat ONLY UP! in 20 Minutes (Speedrun Explained)

I beat ONLY UP! in 20 Minutes (Speedrun Explained)

I got a 20 minute speedrun of Only Up today. Not the World Record but it would have beat the world record 6 days ago. Crazy to see how fast this speedrun is progressing.

    Today I learned that SmallAnt doesn’t know what a ring finger is.

    I watched this man speedrun the game like 4 days ago, in 4 days he went from first time playing the game to getting a 20 minute run

    • Dylan Leahy says:

      Don’t you know, smallant can speed run anything. He is a speedrunning god, I pray to him every night

    • Noah Fernandez says:

      ​@lilchef8333 this is why im not successful . I gotta start praying to him

    • MCB3 says:

      It’s not hard when people have already combined their efforts to find the most optimal routes. He said it himself, it’s literally such a short speedrun that anyone could do it. Not to take away the fact he got top 100 with the amount of people running, just not that amazing of a feat when a hardcore gamer picks it up and nails it.
      As far as speedrunning games go, this game is NOT hard mechanically.

    For those interested, the anime girl isn’t the only stolen asset. The part where you jump up the swords that are stuck into a wall, a few of those swords are direct copies of elden ring swords, the one with the gold metal stretching past the handguard, i think its a lordsworn’s greatsword specifically.

    • Neil Bethel says:

      Seems like everything is stolen even music 😅

    • Springroll says:

      @Neil Bethel inb4 a lawsuit takes it off steam permanently lmao. It’s funny that it would have been fine if the game wasn’t successful

    • Blair Spurtburgler says:

      ​@Springroll It wouldn’t have been fine even if it wasn’t, there just wouldn’t have been a spotlight on it.

      Stolen asset games should never be endorsed. With the attention atm I hope the creator goes through and removes every single instance of stolen assets not just the ones they get cease and desists for, otherwise they deserve to be sued honestly.

    • Lukestar Ford says:

      Is it confirmed that the assets was stolen.

      Because the assets they used. Could have been Freelancer assets where they bought the rights to use the assets for the game.

      It’s something that is a thing within the industry where people makes assets post it online and get money off it.

    • Springroll says:

      @Lukestar Ford I HIGHLY doubt fromsoft sold its elden ring assets, that would blow my fucking mind if true.

    It is wild how fast you got this run. Good job man!

  5. Jortand says:

    Woke up early on a Sunday sit down with a cup of coffee and watch 20 minutes of SmallAnt just casually explaining a game I didn’t know existed. Living life

  6. Faereman says:

    Man, 20 minutes for a speedrun must feel like an eternity compared to the other climbing-type games.

    • Terrible Animations Studio says:

      45 seconds us the wr

    • NerdyStarProductions says:

      the any% unrestricted is like under a minute. It’s just not default category people like playing because it relies on a crazy launch glitch that flies you through most of the map

  7. UwU says:

    The amount of dedication it must take to speedrun a game like Only Up is insane, respect to all the people that have attempted a speedrun/world record.

    • Duke of Burgerz says:

      I didn’t know how much the developer was doing to support them either. From adding the rail skip bed to Waifu skip skip. It’s sick to have a developer that wants the game to be fun to run

    • Joseph Halder says:

      Amount of dedication? It’s only been out for just over a month. The dedication for something like SM64/SMB3/Dark Souls, etc… Those actually take dedication, as people have been bettering strats for years. Small Ant has been playing it for like a week, lol. Not to dimish this, but these records will certainly get blown away weeks or months from now.

    • Jalen Williams says:

      @Joseph Halderthis takes dedication. What are you talkin about?

    • jkid1134 says:

      ​@Jalen WilliamsI bet this was like 20 hours over the course of a week for him, and I bet he drops it after the Ludwig event. so like, I don’t know exactly what you mean by dedication, but in the world of speedruning, this is a fling.

  8. Leward24 says:

    Congrats on the speed run and this must be hard from the time you must have dedicated to the game keep up the great content

    I love these chill-types of videos we’re you can just relax and listen, it’s like a break from all the loud fast videos where if you blink you miss something. Love Smant in general, great guy.
