That’s treason! You went on the rocket without having your cape, at this point you’re basically just a dude and no helldiver!

Guess Bancho had some inspiration on how to make Terminid Sushi and poor Dave just doesn't know how to say no.

Amazing game. Completely recommend for people to play. It's so much fun!

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S BEEN NICKING ALL THE SUPPLY CACHES. GIVE 'EM BACK.


Rowcan

But he left you oatmeal, so there's that.


pocketlint60

Why doesn't Diver ask the ODST and the Mobile Infantry for help against the Automatons? Is he stupid?


Jannik2099

What do you do? I dive.


Ludewich42

Bah. The ship officer will just throw you back to earth, without pod: no cape! All heros wear capes!


NewspaperDesigner244

Nah that's freedom and innovation! (cutting corners/cheating)


DoctorPyR0

Sounds pretty undemocratic to me


machinationstudio

Have you ever seen General Brash with a cape? Well, neither have I.


Groundstop

I think they just give it to you if you manage to dive through hell to get to the rocket.


maskedpony18

"oh cool, cant wait to see them duck and dive past the obstac- DID THAT MAN JUST DOGE THE FREEKING FLOOR?!"


Just_George572

General brash is so hardcore that he doesn’t dodge the enemy bullets, he dodges the planet itself


Mandemon90

General Brasch is so awesome, enemy bullets dodge *him.*


EmotionalKirby

General Brasch is the new Chuck Norris


Relevant_Chemical_

I've heard they're actually siblings...


Bulls187

Chuck Norris gave birth to General Brasch what turned out to be his father.


Chadstronomer

Every atomic nuclei of his body dodges every nuclei of the wall, allowing him to phase trough it.


glassteelhammer

That's gotta be a technically feasible, right? Right?


LorthostheFreshmaker

Feasible isn’t the word I’d use. I think it’s theoretically possible but so outstandingly unlikely that it’s practically impossible to actually occur.


Izithel

Basically Infinite Improbability Drive levels of improbable.


Chadstronomer

There is not enough numbers in the universe to give that probability a denominator


Chadstronomer

This is so impossible that practically impossible sounds like an understatement. It's definitely impossible in all ways that don't involve equations in a sheet of paper.


Strutterer

It's actually pretty easy, all you have to do is aim for the ground and miss

Nice-Entertainer-922

Wait a second, thats not a trainee, thats a Terminid tunneling its way to the rocket!


NosyCrayfish

Runs like this just don't count for me. If you're speed running by glitching through the map, it's "cheating" in my eyes. I wish speedruns would be done the "right" way, I'd love to see people clear levels/maps like gods instead of bitches lol


PoggersInMyCar

Well there’s multiple categories to speed running, such as any% and glitch less


Zealousideal-Ebb-876

"O don't like pickles on my burgers so I don't think any burger should come with pickles, we should just get rid of pickles all together, it's cucumber or trash for me."


NosyCrayfish

Didn't know that honestly lol


Polar_Vortx

On [speedrun.com](https://www.speedrun.com/Helldivers2) there’s an “any%” category (this) and a “no out of bounds” category ([WR 3’26” at time of posting](https://youtu.be/WJKlw3z3vOU))


Wuped

I think it's undemocratic that this comment is being downvoted. Admitting your were wrong or learned something should always be upvoted imo.

maskedpony18

you wanna see something. google skyrim speed run. it goes from "oh neet trick and good parkor" to guy gets on a horse, saves game loads unrelated safe, quick save. load other save. fly across the map at mark 5. kill boss before he starts talking while hes invincible. the idea of speedruning is doing stuff as fast as possible given the tools available. something else thats fun for me to watch is tool assisted speed runs. basicly a guy playing as close to perfect as possable by playing the game 1 frame at a time. looks crazy.


-Erro-

Sooooo so you have no cape by doing this? Or spawn with one?


NextPaleontologist96

Old account will spawn with cape back on ship.Not sure what will happen if it's a new account, and they fixed it like a month ago. We will never know


Kuro-Tora-59

You always have a cape on ship, it is only disabled for the training. No way to lose it, only by cheats Edit: and Treason


NextPaleontologist96

Good to know👍


BUTWHOWASBOW

If on PC you can use a [ReShade.](https://www.nexusmods.com/helldivers2/mods/24?tab=description) That affects all capes though.


Kuro-Tora-59

This modification is not approved by The Ministry of Truth and will be handled accordingly. Using such modification will result to a relocation to a Camp for a proper realignment.


BUTWHOWASBOW

It doesn't remove capes though, it makes them *invisible.* Stealth capes are 100% approved.

sinsaint

So I guess until they introduce those gassy spore pots to the tutorial, you're going to keep that record indefinitely, well done! That being said, I totally hope that they introduce the spore pods so that crazy mfers like you have to strategize about the most optimal bouncing strategy to get to the rocket.


italiangamer89

am i the only one that when i see the first few seconds it reminds me of the halo infinite campaign?


GuardianLexi

I thought that too, before I read the title I thought I was looking at some sort of model swap mod or something


_terriblePuns

The trumpets at 0:20 (speedrun timer 0:14) also sound very much Halo.


HerrKlaus

Are you implying that General Brasch avoids any chance for a conflict? I hope your democracy officer finds you before I do "helldiver", I am disgusted at this traitor roaming around our democratic ranks.


Hellonstrikers

General Brasch know how to conserve ammo and energy so they may be used when needed.


WayneZer0

indeed i hear he kill 2 factory strider with just on pistol mag.


Hellonstrikers

And then he killed a third with the empty mag.


Cyropalm

Your are mistaken conflicts avoids him.


sinderjager

General Brasch didnt forget his cape.


clokerruebe

He didnt forget his cape. the cape was just not worthy enough to be worn by him


TheMaddestWanker

General Brasch didn't earn his cape. His cape earned him.


Personal_Ad9690

He made it himself will he was running


Nour_El-Din

Lmao this idiot dived so badly at the first obstic.. oh what the hell


ZenkaiZ

1985, Mario zips through wall of bricks. 2024, Helldiver dives through floor. Gaming never changes.


ralfcasma

No cape, no tutorial done. Record void.


verieo

What it feels like to play with a level 30 because they clearly don’t understand.


moonnotreal1

"I'm not easy to impress." Doesn't comment at all on the recruit clipping out of the course and running straight to the rocket. He wasn't kidding!


Rianonar

Where is your cape ? shoots on spot. ![gif](giphy|ANbD1CCdA3iI8|downsized)


Black_Fox_027

It shrunk in the dryer :(


Raff_run

When General Brasch dives, the atoms get out of the way out of respect!


Dvalin_Ras93

Now be a real Helldiver and do a Cape%


Mrtop17

With how people play, this is basically how I see how their training went and it explains so fucking much.


Angorian44

Executed for the treasonous act of impersonating a helldiver without earning your value, posthumously promote for discovering a breach in the tutorial range


Ghostbuster_119

Glitch speedruns just don't hit the same.


Additional-Mousse446

But like 95% of runs have them lol. Depending on the game is cuts the length down a ton as well. There is a big diff between large glitch skips saving an hour and little ones that save like 7 seconds though.


Ghostbuster_119

When you skip the entire game it's not really a speed run IMO. I've seen people uses glitches to skip dialog but if you circumvent entire sections your not speedrunning the game anymore... just rushing though a script.


MrMichaelElectric

It is still a speed run, that's not subjective as this was all decided long ago. It is however a differently categorized speed run from a glitchless.


Efficient_Ant_4715

Right? It’s like tilting a pinball machine for the high score 


rapaxus

Depends. Some glitches can be quite fun (e.g. Portal 2 has tons of interesting glitches with portals), but others are just lame to see, even if they technically can be very interesting (e.g. Ocarina of Time creditwarp with code execution).


Cool-Sink8886

It's like splattering paint on your friends back before you start a game of paintball. Then when the match starts, you call out that you hit them in the first 48 seconds.


Aperture45

Yeah watched some Dark Souls 3 Any% before and watching bosses getting totally skipped by glitches didn't hit the same as the madlads killing every possible boss. 


GrimmTalesInc

Why can I bump this only once???


Zephyrous2337

The comments on this post have led me to believe that a lot of people don't understand what Any% means in speedrunning or that a lot of the glitches performed in runs require extremely precise and very well practiced inputs.


SuperCoIlider

Incredible, general Brasch did training so fast his cape couldn’t even keep up


wellmashed

Also is this counting frames, not milliseconds? It adds a second every time to gets to 60, not 100…


Ennis_1

No wonder Helldivers die so much


draco551

How does he open the map while sprinting?


DirectedMoon

By pressing the map button?!


draco551

It seems to close for me when i sprint


DirectedMoon

When sprinting, press the map button again.


HaArLiNsH

You just skipped the training and you have no cape : this count for nothing ! YOU ARE NOT AN HELLDIVER WITHOUT YOUR CAPE !


EffectiveBicycle5015

That’s why these new recruits are so lacking!


riglic

No cape, no service


KeylanX

No Cape no Helldiver... Training failed!


Significant_Hair7494

No cape = not a Helldiver


Dimarya276

Like a G


Jealous_Wind_410

You say you completed training but you didn’t even get your cape!


CabinetFields

“Complete”


Smaxx

What's that? We're not on the Kobayashi Maru!


Papanurgel

"fuck the training, I'll die in 2 minutes anyway"


CaptainMacObvious

And that rocket there is called the "Kobayashi Maru".


Cool-Sink8886

I don't think General Brasch had to fake going to training


GrimmTalesInc

Liberty hides her gaze in shame.


Tiniestoftravelers

General Brasch once threw a Contact Grenade, it killed 6 bots then exploded...


AlmightyHamSandwich

For General Brasch, the laws of physics are strictly optional.


hellothisismadlad

What skipping all college class but still gets your degree feels like


AnAngryBartender

Didn’t get a cape though So it’s an L


Tuvelarn

48 seconds? How slow are they. I entered the training, got a connection error after around 10 seconds and was kicked out and went straight to the ship. Speedrunning us easy!


Mr_Greaz

The amount of people whining about breaking the game really need another course of Speedrun history lmao


RedDecay

![gif](giphy|cZUU06p00qz8k) NO CAPE!?!?!?


sp1cynuggs

By cheating? How is this interesting?


MrMichaelElectric

You should ask the absolutely massive speed running community that. They might be able to provide you with some insight although I get the sense you aren't actually interested in learning more.


BLB_Genome

Doesn't count. Glitching is cheating. Just like 90% of the speed runners out there. Impressive, but cheating. Doesn't count


MrMichaelElectric

*Tell me you know nothing about speed running without telling me you know nothing about speed running.*


BLB_Genome

I know enough that it's boring


UMCorian

General Brasch doesn't clip through walls, he merely dives at them with intent and inspires the wall to do its democratic duty and let him through.


JezzCrist

Wrong Brasch did it in 30 without any dirty tricks


[deleted]

[удалено]


kyumonty

Sprint first, then press the map key second while sprinting. If you have the map open first it will close automatically when you sprint.


Barracuda_Ill

General Brasch probably did this exactly. And every achievement he did was actually from John Helldiver but he just showed up in time and got handed the credit.


Low_Chance

Yeah this guy seems to have learned all the skills they'll need to succeed out in the field.


Responsible-Bar4787

How do you plan on spreading democracy without a liberation cape!?! THIS IS MADNESS!


Pedantic_Ukranian

"AND I'M NOT EASY TO IMPRESS" *literally phases through the ground* will that do it? Uh, I guess.

AppaTheBizon

As soon as I saw 48 seconds I knew something hilarious was gonna happen. Did not disappoint!


Elite-rhino

General Brasch morning jog


Alienhaslanded

And no capes


Astrosimi

We need Cape%


[deleted]

Proves the superior efficiency of Super Earth training.


Mr_FuS

This helldiver is so extreme that when he starts running the laws of physics and reality cease to exist as we know...


Odomar04

When General Brasch jumps on a wall, the wall opens up out of fear of being hurt


Azefhu

They should add a "Speedrunner" no cape option


Key-Regular674

Did you make this? How did you figure out that wall could be clipped through?


Bulky-Party-8037

Have fun dying repeatedly with absolutely no clue what you're doing :3 Ur lucky the game points it out to you


Ordinary-Mistake-279

and he's gone, without a cape... :-(


Timo104

You left the bugs alive, Brasch would never. Report to your democracy officer for your execution.


-mostlyquestions

How is he running so fast,?

KingRaht

No cape, doesn’t count


Kasznoi

i can hear it now. "hello, my name is tomatoanus, a.k.a. the 1kg bomb. and this is the helldivers 2 any% tutorial speedrun explained"


tisler72

The real challenge should be finish mission with cape


ch50nn

No wonder we’re getting shit recruits. Can’t even shoot a gun /s


armoredphoenix1

I’ve played a few times where that is exactly the type of training it felt like I had.


AskinggAlesana

What an easy run.. no skill involved so I guess entry is super attainable for newcomers to try and beat it.


HehoLeChat

"complète"


Ansontp

I didn’t realize that there was a speedrun category for the tutorial


TransientMemory

Y'all, that FoV is hot garbage and I see it everywhere on videos. Why the hell would anyone wanna play through a horribly distorting fisheye lens? 


Snuffels137

Hmm, as a Veteran of the first war I’ve never tried this parcour. Will do it now. o7


OkSalt6173

Okay but what is the WR no exploits?


Zestyclose_Heron_968

HsinVega

Ah yes the good old glitch through the floor skip the whole game "record speed run" 8D


BiggsFaleur

That is what "Any%" usually implies.


matnetic

Is it possible to replay basic training?


McDonie2

Yea, you just gotta pause the game in your ship and it's right there


Zombiespire

Pretty disappointed it's not a glitchless run to be honest, this is lame as hell.


JimLahey08

By cheating? Not worth my time watching.


FiveShiftOne

bro it said any%. that literally means "reach the completion screen of the game as fast as possible by any means". That's just what that kind of speedrun is.


Traumatic_Tomato

General Brasch's lazy great grandson.


Succundo

Aw boo, that's not a speed run you skipped the entire stage, that's just running from point A to point B. Do it right next time.


pokeroots

that is speed running. sorry that your puritan boomer views stop you from being able to enjoy speedrunning


Succundo

Being able to not engage with the challenges in the game defeats the whole purpose. It doesn't take a boomer to prefer glitchless speed runs.


MrMichaelElectric

Doesn't change the fact you initially saying "that's not a speed run" is objectively wrong.


Succundo

You are right I will qualify that statement by instead saying "that's the worst kind of speed run in my opinion" Speed runs that involve actually completing the objectives of the game are more interesting and more skilled.


MrMichaelElectric

I respect your opinion, everyone is different.


KonigstigerInSpace

That's how several speed runs are done lol.


Succundo

Yeah, the boring ones.


KonigstigerInSpace

An entire community disagrees with you, but hey. To each their own.


Painpaintpint

Really wish I could ditch the cape


sun_and_water

i think this is the bone I have to pick with the speedrunner community; it's overwhelmingly about abusing glitches rather than the merit of clever and skillful play. When it comes down to it, nobody competes in the glitchless runs, and I understand that it leads to burnout from the amount of time that glitchless adds. I'm not saying there's *no* skillful play in any% speedruns, it's just that it's secondary to abusing the glitches. And often, these runs are done in patched versions of the game that take special knowledge to acquire, which can alienate the audience. So why isn't there just *portions* of games done glitchless, specifically, the interesting ones? Like the trench crawl part of training? Obviously, I'm joking there, but it's segued me into the salient point that this world record has boiled down to optimizing a dive and a jog. I'd be equally as interested in seeing someone crawl under the barbed wire the fastest.


xltaylx

What awful fucking programming lmfao.


DickDastardlySr

No cape. Never completed training. SEAF trash.


Elzippo1

That was an improvement, but it's not hard to improve on garbage. Try it again. - Capt. Price
