In this SPEEDRUN EXPLAINED, we break down and explain a speedrun of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, specifically this game's equivalent of the Any% category, Main Quest, and how speedrunners (specifically Waz) beat the game in just over 20 minutes. In this speedrun, we move faster than ever before on the tomatoanus channel, utilizing glitches to move at supersonic speeds. This ain't just moving fast tough, because we also do things like exploit vendors to get free gold.

    Your "no feeling is final" interlude is always welcome. Please, never ever stop doing it.
  • @ethanbyerly1053
    I was using YouTube to distract myself from one of the worst nights of my life when I stumbled upon this video and your channel for the first time. I was not expecting your "no feeling is final" and I really needed that tonight, so thank you.
  • @TheReelDealMC
    Dear lord. You should’ve started the video with “hello, my name is tomatoanus, also known as The Throat of The World…”
  • @whirl3690
    Fun fact: Before the dupe glitch used to duplicate Dragonbane was discovered, speedrunners would actually play as Orcs for their Berserker Rage power in the Alduin fight, since only one Dragonbane was too slow to defeat him and the player would no doubt die. But once they were able to dupe Dragonbane, they could defeat Alduin without Berserker Rage and instead played High Elves for the faster movement speed.

    20:05 Arngeir: "Have you learned nothing from us!?" Waz: "What're you talking about I don't even know you"
  • @concrete_enema
    Waz’s runs are some of the most enchanting things I’ve ever witnessed
  • @MafiaCow01
    I've watched a number of Skyrim speedruns over the years, and man, it really is crazy to see horse tilting be a thing and the comparison between "Let's get married to remain active in the scroll cutscene" and "I play the game in X language because it has the quickest lines out of all languages for the scroll cutscene"...
  • @logeymusic
    Hey dude, noticed a glitch you didn't mention. I saw that Waz waited 21 hours to pass midnight and also get the game to a certain time for NPC's to be in the correct spot for later in the run. Don't think it was mentioned but just wanted to explain what was happening there in case people were wondering!
  • @natanlevine
    Man, I've always always wished someone could explain what the hell is going on in speedruns. And then I discover that you not only do this but also add so much entertainment value and context. Also this insane run is perfect for this. Bravo sir
  • Waz is actually insane at Skyrim and his consistency with the glitches in the game are unfathomable. I can spend half an hour doing some of these glitches over and over and will only get them once or twice and Waz gets every single one first or second try in just about all of his runs. Massive respect for this dude the absolute goat of Skyrim speedrunning
  • @TheKrimzonGuard
    18:10 'Missing your own marriage allows you to move during a cutscene' has to be right up there alongside SAO:Abridged's "power of love may cause paralysis to fail" in the pantheon of all-time greatest bugs
  • @StraightEdgeZap
    ive heard your "feelings" monologue a dozen times before but it hit kinda hard this time, so thanks for that. also this speedrun is fucking mental, its utterly insane how broken it has gotten over the past decade
  • @Potatezone
    Local man steals and abuses horses, has second thoughts on a gay wedding, and kills the apocalypse dragon in nord heaven.
  • @Kraigon42
    For the record, I deeply appreciate the moments you've taken in the last few videos to give people an encouraging word. I've really needed it lately, and after hearing it the first time I wrote it down to share with others from time to time myself.
  • @147CT
    Skyrim speedruns are totally hype and utterly hilarious, love to see it.
  • @ZorotheGallade
    Just imagine if Alduin's aerie wasn't locked behind having to capture Odahviing. Speedrunners would just yeet themselves to Sovngarde and finish the game in like 50 seconds.
  • what other channel can go from "no feeling is final, even if good days feel like theyre months away they will come eventually, the way you feel now doesnt define the rest of your life. you will be okay" to "when we arrive in riften, waz will fist a horse. [dead silence for like 10 seconds]" tomatoanus has the range and we love that
  • @jack_corvinus
    For those "flashback" sections you should've added some kind of audio filter. That way it sounds clearer that it's a flashback, and it'll sound hilarious when the second flashback happens and there's a double-filter
