First new Chapter 1 Any% world record in 2 years, thanks to community efforts.
I stream sometimes: twitch.tv/stegdarkhorse
My previous PB was never saved properly, so it’s nice to have one with up to date strats and skill saved. This record was possible thanks in no small part to the community. We’ve known for years about the Solider Pickup Warp glitch (See my tutorial on that one), but we’ve never known if it was possible to aim them. We’ve only been able to leave missions using it, but thanks to a push by @OneCoolMan2008, it wound up being solved. @wizardhwk stumbled onto being able to “aim” them by diving out of a cardboard box, while @MetsametsaSpeedruns realized what was going on and figured out the distance of the warps and how the setups work.
There is still a lot of potential time to save here. A 1:51:XX is very doable with a cleaner run. I’m not sure if a 1:50:XX is possible though I thought it was initially, but anything is possible.
I’m just so happy to continue to be part of this game’s history and to see our community continue to grow and overcome challenges. You’re all diamonds.

My phone was dead so no VTuber avatar here. I’m sure that’s a good thing for a lot of viewers.
I have some other things I want to work on that I put aside to grind for the record. I’m not sure yet if I’ll keep going for the 1:51:XX or if I’ll put it to the side for now.
For clarification, the Chapter 1 run is allowed to start post-Prologue (You have the option to play it, but timing won’t start until the point where I started my timer in this run).

You're the best, boss!
Amazing. Mission complete. That right there is why you're the best, Boss. The one and only.
Congrats steg maybe ive been out of the loop but to see a new wr after all this time is just incredible
Glad to see you guys are still cracking this game wide open to this day. I'll Dolphin Dive excessively in your honor next time I decide to replay TPP. 🐬
Boss you took down world record you really are a living legend
GG
Boss, did you really… an enemy gunship one shot from that could cut a man in…amazing that right there is why you're the…pequod on station at LZ.
One of the most replayable games of all time
your best brother❤❤❤
Mission complete and how! Congrats dude.
I wonder, in Phantom Limbs, could calling in a chopper at Gwandai after taking out the anti-air radar be faster than riding to the pre-set landing location and fleeing the skulls?
I completely understand skipping the intro mission
your are crak
so can someone explain 19:00 ? or should i lay off the drink at 4 am lmao
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Incredible run! You ARE the Boss!
thank steg😊
good lord, I think it took me around 70 or so hours to beat the game along with all the side ops and it's funny also a bit jarring to see that time cut down to an impressive sub 2 hours. Great work Boss!
Лучший! Только вот… я никак не могу понять, как работает "глич" в миссии Непроглядная Тьма.
Сколько не пытался – не выходит.
why didnt you use d walker isnt he farster than d horse while on roller mode
Is their any reason in the second mission why you don't just change the helicopter landing spot to skip the skulls?
what is happening at 52:57
What are you doing in 39:30?
how do you do that 52:15
So a bunch of times the game glitches and lags and he gets ahead in the game? That’s impressive?
