Dude has been playing TLOU for three years and practices each section.
I half way feel like I'm wasting my life while practicing moves for Street Fighter.

What's the point of posting this so early? Seems silly, it's so easy to mess up at any time you shouldn't have made this until he was like 10 minutes away from breaking the record. Being almost over an hour is far too early.

Does the AI always move in a predictable manner in each run? I noticed that during the part right before Henry and Sam separate from Ellie and Joel he shot an arrow that seem to require the hunter to walk into it but he also knew it was going to hit because he said something like "Watch this" when he fired it.
No, sadly.
No not really. There's a lot of RNG with enemy movement and ammo drops.
The way they spawn is predictable, but AI movement is one of the biggest issues with speedrunning this game, as it's too random and can just for no reason cause huge time losses.

Literally as soon as I opened the stream "This run isn't crap, but probably isn't going to be a world record" LUL
No he's not?

What causes that facial tick where his eyebrows raise and sometimes lowers his jaw at the same time?
According to the schedule, nope.

Really? Honestly dude seems really chill and relaxed compared to most streamers.
We all make strange faces when concentrating.
You're insane.
You must be watching a different stream then.
Speedrun a game for two years, then see if you're happy when a WR record slips because of RNG

I should record myself some time and see how crazy I look while getting bodied by Balrog.
Hahaha, basically.
I've been watching for over half a year, now. He's a really consistent streamer, and probably the one I watch the most. Next to Andy.
this is on Grounded
when he gets the mk into vtrigger cancel I just take my hands off my stick cause I am goin to duff city
This is Grounded, which is the hardest difficulty, which only exists on PS4. There are different categories for different difficulties, and also for glitches/no glitches. This is glitchless. I'd say it's the coolest and most impressive speedrun. It's the one Ant does the most, but he also has the WR for the easiest difficulty.

He absolutely is not. You don't know whiny.
Wow. Makes sense though, now that I think about it. It might be a bit too trivial to just rush through everything on normal.
I love speedruns, and while Ant is one I already watch a lot, I love new impulses like this. Especially when we're gearing up for SGDQ. I'd love to hear if another WR to a big game is about to be broken.
Nope.
That's nothing in TLOU. If the rest of the run has no major fuck ups, he'll set a new WR.
Right, DLC.
You sound like a pro
He had a backup strat it just made him lose time
What? Ant literally knows every enemy that needs to be killed, and every enemy that needs to be killed. He knows exactly how many bullets he needs and how. Ammo is really important, so that you can actually clear out areas that needs to be cleared out. Also, bullets can be a part of a strat, as in you shoot one enemy, to distract the others, while also getting rid of the one that will grab you if you just run through.
Believe me, Ant knows exactly how to get the most out of each bullet in the game. If he has no ammo, he can improvise, but that'll cost some time. Which is exactly what happened.
Yep. Speedrunning is a beautiful thing.
People frequently make threads about questions that could be solved via a google search, go complain in one of those.
