This Speedrunner was convinced he could beat me in a race

This was such an intense and fun race, I hope you all will enjoy! If you guys are interested in more Speedrunning content you can check out my channel as well! ^^

As someone who’s 100% this game twice, the idea that someone could memorize Korok locations terrifies me.

“This speed runner was convinced he could beat me in a real life bingo match.” “Alright guys let’s get started I think I’m gonna go for the bottom horizontal row we just have to kill 1 person and commit arson.”

I love that Tanner always edits the other person's perspective in. It really adds so much to these type of videos. Edit: Guys, I know he didn't edit this video personally. Please stop trying to "gotcha" me in the replies with "oh but tanner didn't edit this!". I'm referring to this channel as a whole, regardless of editor. The other perspective is always added in.

Smallant is just so good at the specific skills needed to do lockouts and map randomizers. Even if he's not as good at the game itself (as seen by the korok race.) He just routes so much better that it doesn't matter.

Ant's goal is to go through the speedrunner community and systematically destroy their confidence through Bingo.

I like how Linkus was thinking through EVERYHING and trying to figure SmallAnt's in-depth plan, while SmallAnt was simply just going with whatever caught his eye and looked easiest.

We all know what happens when someone says they could beat smallant in a race. We actually get to find out, and it’s very entertaining

22:05 "So if I ride Sidon, I finish?" ...okay, then. You do you, buddy.

8:12 "Umm... That is not... What just happened there? That dude's just walking on the air" Says the guy who's flying

I'm convinced that smallant has an insanely good sense of direction and routing. Like his strategy and internal GPS when it comes to lockout bingo is just insane

Man, smallant can lockout any game. I’m just waiting until he lockouts the original Zelda game

Whoever edited this video did a great job, I really liked how it showed both of their cameras when they were talking to each other, a small detail that improved the video.

"If i ride Sidon... Do I finish?" That striking realization afterwards... Damn

"I literally speedrun this game!" A famous man's last words. ~Linkus7

That back and forth between Smant's and Linkus's perspectives during the Lanayru Koroks was perfect!

I still find it so incredible that people are able to put the effort into speedrunning 100% of a game

And in tonight's video, Linkus gets repeatedly objective sniped and experiences PAIN. I really love the editing for the Lanayru Koroks. Linkus made up so much ground so fast but just barely got beat to 15.

I feel like at this point, no one can beat smant in an equal race

1:17 "I literally speedrun this game!" is such a mood for these types of challenge races. I used to speedrun SMO and do some lockouts with friends who had only beaten the game 100% once or twice, but I was never able to beat them. I have said that exact line so many times.

I didn't see Linkus' perspective when I watched this live, so it's really cool to see his side of it! Also his ABSOLUTE SPEED with those koroks was amazing, love to see it

I choked at Smant's expression when he said "If I ride Sidon... I finish?"

Tanner is really good at making quick decisions and completing goals fast! Linkus did really well too, so overall this was such a good race! Hope you do more in the future.

i like how it starts out announcing him as just "friend Linkus" not even "my friend" or anything

I just wanna give an applause to the editor here cause they made a fantastic edit that kept me on my toes this entire video. Thanks for the competition y’all!

Bless his heart, he isn't constantly praising himself or talking about his skill, and he has enough self awareness to make fun of his own mistakes. These are the kinds of gamers that not only make the community better, but actually help advance gaming as an interest.

“That guy was just walking on the air” as he wiggle bombs thru the air had me in stitches 😂

Perfect timing, I needed something to watch

"Incredibly skilled speed runner" was no match for you, SmallAnt! Was at the edge of my seat when you both were at 14/15 Lanayru Koroks. That was a fun game to watch, gg!

I was there watching the stream the whole time and I wish I had forgotten everything about it so I could experience it again! This was such a good lockout!

Whoever wins, it'll be fun to watch Edit: the korok race portion was honestly so intense! Loved the video

14:25 This race for the 15 Lanayru koroks was actually so intense, it was terrifying seeing how down to the wire it came. How'd it get that close!?

This was so awesome, cant wait for more races like this!

Love these lockout races. They are so awesome to watch. Excited for the next one!

Linkus had a big advantage for the harder goals, but he made the mistake of going for them since that leaves all the easier ones for Smant. If he instead sniped the easy goals Smant would get stuck on the hard ones while Linkus would go through them much faster. It was never about being good at the game, just about picking the better route.

I think Ant is so good at organizing chaos which is why he is so good at these races.

You are such a nice guy. Entertaining, knowledge, easy to watch whilst still making every second enjoyable. You deserve nothing but the best Smant. What a guy

With a game like this, racing can be really fun

"He would be really good at a game show." Little does linkus know, he is, and was. (Glass is very tasty)

its hard to watch a smallant video without smiling at least once.

I am convinced small ant is insanely intelligent. There is no way he could be so good at quickly maping out a plan for every game he plays otherwise

that lanayru korok seed one was so hype. I genuinely sat up when Linkus got to 13 and Ant passed by that one place he was looking for

No matter the game it seems SmallAnt can do well in a race/bingo

The editing on all of your videos is amazing. You somehow turn hours of footage from multiple sources into what seems like a fluid and continuous conversation with no gaps. Keep up the great work!

I still find it so incredible that people are able to put the effort into speedrunning 100% of a game

Was I the only one who misread the thumbnail? “Dang, it took him 2000 hours? How good of a speedrunner can he really be…”

Smant is probably the greatest person at doing an amount of scrambled tasks I have ever seen, has he even lost a fair lockout once?

It's amazing how SmallAnt can beat any expert in any game in those type of challenges or like the ones with the randomized loading zones in Pokémon. He never fails to surprise me

16:10 the fact that Linkus almost caught up is terrifying

Yeah I remember researching the lotm and it took like 2 days to work it out. Basically I… think you talk to the guy at duelling peaks stable who tells you what moon it is and then it’s either on or the day after the waxing crescent. Only the hour it spawns within that set day is random. Oh yeah and fun little fact is it’s named after satoru iwata and is why the lotm is called satori too. But also the moon phase it spawns is the moon phase iwata was born on, or so I’ve heard. Apologies for the really nerdy comment xD

So fun watching these two battle it out with each other. Always some cool strats and mind games on display.!

Ant has to be so infuriating to do bingo races against. Nearly every one he's done, he always gets into the other person's mind and messes them up

This is the editing of the future. Perfect supplement for the content without anything annoying. Thank you, Divine_CMD and others.

Love the BoTW lockout and bingo races always looking forward for more, can't wait to see what happens when you get your hands on the multiplayer mod.

Can't wait to see more collabs/races/etc with Linkus! You guys are so wholesome!

What a great race! I love competitive content like this. Also a joy to watch Linkus, he’s super skilled. I can’t believe how many close calls there were this time! Loved it!

Love the content Smallant! Love seeing these great collab videos. Keep your head up through all situations!

The 15 Koruk one was such and upset, a big time loss for Linkus, great race!

Honestly at this point I'm rooting against Smallant because he keeps winning all these bingos xD

Smallant is just so good at the specific skills needed to do lockouts and map randomizers. Even if he's not as good at the game itself (as seen by the korok race.) He just routes so much better that it doesn't matter.

This was brilliant content for both youtube and as a live stream. You def need to do more of this.

Man, linkus is awesome. Your Styles of content mesh so well together

These bingo videos are one of my favourites for sure, you can never expect what's going to happen in them!

When the world needed him most, he returned

Would you be arrange a four player botw lockout at some point? The more chaos, the better.

I'd like to see one of these where getting a full line gives you bonus points, making it more strategic to lock your opponent out

I’d love to see Smant do some more irl speed runs, kind of like the pencil sharpening one. Like, there’s a walk in Spain called El Camino de Santiago. Would be cool to see a “no gps, no map, speed run of Spain.” The walk is basically time and resource management while looking for quest markers irl. I bet he could do 500 miles in under 3 weeks if he put the work in. Would be epic.

This is my absolute favorite style of video. Super fun to watch! Entertaining.

Congrats to Falorni who got a shiny drifblim early on in the race.

Love your videos man. It always makes my day when I watch them.

Would love to see this one again, I think Linkus could have won but there were a lot of routing and priority errors on his part

Bruh, I'm already laughing seeing linkus struggling to parry the guardian laser. Great content and editing like always!

"Incredibly skilled speed runner" was no match for you, SmallAnt! Was at the edge of my seat when you both were at 14/15 Lanayru Koroks. That was a fun game to watch, gg

Your lockouts are probably my favourite content to watch. Will mostly watch the TRvid videos but if I see you're streaming lockout will sit and watch a 5 hour vod which I have never done for anything else from anyone

I think what's funny about these videos is while the speedrunners are objectively more skilled at the game, they're used to speedrunning, not lockout bingos. Lockout bingos you have to forge your own route in real time, and adjust it quickly based on what your opponent has gotten. SmallAnt has had _much_ more practice with lockout bingo, so of coursehe's gonna figure out the big brain strats!

I died when Linkus' korok count went down to 0 after so much work he put into it. And when he was about to make a korok glorious return, bam he gets sniped. Love these videos.

All i understand is that no one can truly defeat you in a race

This was GREAT I loved it so much fun to watch

Peoples demise is unpreventable as soon as they think “I can beat smallant”

I love Smant he makes video games look easy when I try this stuff it takes me hours

Great video! Love the botw content/races!

Poor linkus getting beat damn near everytime 😅 I might have to root for him one time in hopes that he wins one, but damn ant well played 👊🏻

Everybody Gangsta until SmallAnt Beats himself in a lockout

8:12 “that dude was just walking on the air” *Looks at Link* Yeah I don’t think you’re in a position to question that.

Smant's organizational skills and prioritizing make him so good at lockouts, it's not even fair.

Found you from the as we go along podcast and have been obsessed ever since. Love the botw challenges you do

Watching Linkus miss several shield parries in a row makes me feel much better about missing double as I’m playing through BOTW for the first time.

its always incredible to see how SmallAnts adaptive nature can overcome Years of Speedrunning experience. While Linkus is an incredible Speedrunner he has problems to adapt to the situation and he is so stuck in his patterns that he cant see opportunities when it comes to routing. Amazing Video and great performance from both.

I love the in universe absurdity of 8:12 where link's like "wtf that thing's walking on the air" and the lizard's looking at link like "wtf that things flying with a bomb"

Before every video "This man won multiple speed running awards/ fastest times in the world for 100% and has over 10000 Hours clocked in this game" My Favourite speedrunner who breaks all laws of physics: "Yeah yeah thi-this was t-tough you got so close to beating me"

“That dude was just walking on the air” he says while literally flying

“That dude was walking on the air” Ah yes flying.

You're a god, you keep wining these races 😂

My fave kind of smant videos. Always love to see it!

I love to watch you play botw against others. I have a suggestion. What about a Botw bingo or lockout but it’s literally your worst gaming nightmare Settings: Relics of the past Randomizer This would be like the literal definition of Botw nightmare mode. Would be insanely nice to watch. I‘d love to have you consider it 😁 thanks for the nice content and greetings from Germany

Fun to see smallant obliterate a 2000h speedruner, great video

“That dude was just walking on the air” Ant says as he rides through the air on a flying bomb…

I still find it so incredible that people are able to put the effort into speedrunning 100% of a game

Korok snipe was the greatest moment I’ve seen in any lockout
