Fuckin legend
Gigachad moves
Satvara as a human being is the most picturesque example of 2000's internet cryptid activities. This weird goblin man appears from the shadows with an UNMATCHED global record run, then disappears into the ether. iconic.
makes me think that he was one of the game developers since he came with those tricks out of nowhere
@@noname_noname_ nah it just takes skills and determination.
Yeah my immediate thought is developer
@@noname_noname_ if memory serves me right he was a bug / dev tester.
so no one know who is he?
Satvara’s whole existence is just the gigachad, show up, do blank and leave It’s nuts seeing this happen
NGNL reference
Insert BIBLE reference
Nah, there is a very clear difference between being a based chad and just being blatantly disrespectful
@@Plem_xo He wasn't being disrespectful though....
Nerdgins..
Satavara's story summed up. Satvara: "Hey guys, not bad, but I'm better. Seriously, don't even try, fuck you for thinking it." Everyone: "That time is bogus, it's not even possible." Satvara releases videos proving it, builds upon his work and becomes the single greatest speedrunner in God of War's history. Then he flips everyone off, leaves, comes back YEARS later... does it AGAIN... and then yeets himself out to take care of his ailing mother.
Refuses to elaborate Leaves 🥶
💪😎
ROAR 🦁 I defeated his anus, although I used glitches and skips that I learned from VARIOUS KZheadrs, him included
What a god
The ORIGINAL Gigachad!
I was actually part of the original development team (albeit a small role) and I can tell you that a suspicious amount of glitches in his original run were known remaining bugs flagged by the QA team. Many devs suspect that Satvara was either on that QA team or had an inside connection.
Interesting, that was my first thought, this guy seemed to know the game a bit too well, like someone who worked in the game would.
interesting :0
Cool!
That was my take too when I watched the videos. No way this guy found out a lot of those stuff so early in the shelf life of GoW unless he was a QA, a tester or part of the dev team. Some of the stuff he showed clearly indicates prior knowledge and intrinsic knowledge of how the game was built and the engine of it.
Even if that's the case, he still found a good amount of glitches in other games, the guy has a knack for finding glitches. But if he was connected to the development team or part of it, then yeah, it's not as impressive that he "found" so many, on the other hand, he did find glitches in other games, and found more glitches in GoW itself after a few years.
The conversation between Satvara and Godmodegod is peak 2000s internet edge.

well youtubers have to make drama in order to keep us watching...
Satvara is the perfect embodiment of what I both love and hate about speedrunning. The intense dedication and clever use of skips/glitches is something ive always found so interesting to watch. And yet, just from how he acted on the forms, I wouldnt be caught dead talking to him in public.
I mean a dude who is dedicated to speed running on this level by himself probably does not have the best social skills
This is what a lot of people don’t get. It wasn’t “normal” to come home to a pc and game like it is now. The people that did were usually geeks/nerds who found tech and games fascinating. Those guys were the pioneers for gaming/internet culture but as you mentioned, their personalities weren’t so “ normal” so they were usually awkward or social outcasts.
It's almost like someone who would sit around playing god of war 1 for 12 hours a day would most likely be completely socially inept
could be worse, could be GWG pausing and reading that reply was... wow
@@deviantanomaly Dude, Satvara was acting like narcissistic asshole. Don't try to justify his childish behaviour with your imaginary version of how internet was back then, because you have a hard on him.

Satvara acts like a edgy teen but his discoveries and skill at the game is on the another level.
Judging from this video alone, GMG is the one who gives me the average reddit mod vibes, but ofcourse I shouldn't make such judgement without actually knowing more about him.
Since it was like +12 years ago, maybe he was an edgy teen at the time
GMG is the edgy weirdo

"Sequence breaking are not breaking the game but it merely uncovers the truth, of what was always there." This made me realize that the glitches are waiting to be found and who knows it even exist. A player like Satvara explored the game beautifully to its extent and his love for the game inspired many others. Satvara is the definition of Built Different.

Satvara really fits Krato’s new catchphrase, “we must be better.”
Satvara's exchange with Godmodegod is hilarious. Sounds like something right out of a shonen tourney anime. "You thought you knew of power. Like an ant who moves a grain of sand knows the power of a God who snaps universes between his eyelashes. That is the difference between you and me."
"Hey, i almost halved your record" "Not bad" [Slap] "OW WHAT WAS THAT FOR" "For believing me without proof." >:( "Anyway here's proof"

A god among insects indeed
Ok
Kind of like the douche that said he could do Rush E better than someone who’d made their own composition and he DESTROYED it
still was an ass though ngl
do the best runners read the code of the game somehow to figure best glitches etc? ty.
I think the craziest part is that the world record still has yet to pass the sub-1 hour mark, despite everything discovered and developed since Satvara entered the community with his 1:21:41
It is a long ass game.
The 1:21 set by satvara is only IGT, and the timer within the game is pretty poorly implemented. It does not count paused times, deaths or cutscenes. The times we use on leaderboards today are RTA, the time in real life it took to complete the run. So yeah, nowadays the wr is way ahead of satvaras original run by like an hour or something
I think if he had stayed in the speed running community the RTA time would be under an hour

Holy crap the level of nerd in this video and the comments is astounding
This is one of the few times in the history of the universe where the villain (Satvara) delivered and wasn't talking shit. I am reminded by a recent video of Charlie (penguinz0) also seeing this phenomenon, where a jerk had proven his superior skill on piano. Simply astonishing.
That piano guy was a total dick, no piano playing is redeeming that. He basically called out someone else creation and said this is shit, I can do better. He's a sore winner
I thought of him as the Protagonist 💀💀
To be fair that guy wasn't near the same jerkness as Satvara and he never held anything against the original piano player he just said he could have played the piece better, his beef was with some random youtube comments that were calling him out to do better.
@@b1nary_f1nary Mediocre ≠ shit. Did you actually look at his comments?
Satvara may not have even been a villain and just someone with a social disorder like ASD. Nothing in this video implies a malintent. His paradoxical help towards the community and respect for GMG. His is only true lash-out was for not being believed and when you consider potential circumstances, it's entirely logical and reasonable. If you could not maintain a theory of mind and you knew that you had proof; it's likely all you could do to reason about how others think is project your knowledge and thoughts onto them. AKA assume everyone knows everything you do, why would he need to give proof, then be confused why people who have proof are doubting you. He didn't realize he had to prove it until he became offended by doubt that he didn't perceive necessary. A neurotypical may discount people and say things like it was only an experiment to humblebrag, but it seems to me that layer of manipulation is devoid in him. It was a legitimate fear he would be shamed for it. He just used proof and logic(from his closed-mind), all his reasoning is self-consistent/valid within small axiomatic systems. I think it likely, that through logic, he was attempting self-moderation when it came to considering the community at large and how there should have been a significant one. Someone with false confidence about their abilities wouldn't be trying to break it down in this way. They wouldn't simultaneously have offensive levels of confidence and the proof to back it up either. They also wouldn't immediately disengage from the affront when it was lifted. THey'd hold a grudge. I understand trolls often emulate aspects of this behaviour, aka social ignorance, but it doesn't mean everyone is doing it with manipulation in mind. Now it's entirely possible satvara was just a prideful skillful sunuvabitch. His behaviour just isn't consistent with that. It seems to me he's otherwise tolerant, only triggered when logic is offended, as it's his replacement for his emotional awareness. He may not be able to consider other's minds, but he said he held respect, he made guides, did things that were helpful. It seems that within some capacity, he cared for others. It doesn't seem there was entirely much attention seeking either, he just had fun playing and posting. Yeah pride was there, but it may have just been a social problem where he doesn't get it. "If I know 2+2=4, and you don't, why are you speaking to me about the next step.." From a purely logical and socially ignorant perspective, that could have been perceived as someone trying to lie or manipulate. Most of it sounds like he wasn't good enough for his perfectionism based in logical analysis, so when others wanted to speed up his times, he took it as if they were saying he wasn't perfect. Which, he previously knew logically, but it was emotionally filtered so that his perfectionism could handle it. Or when they tried to say good job without logical explanation, it's patronization. Maybe that patronization even stokes his own emotions in way he isn't emotionally fitted to manage. Maybe his emotions made no sense, and that's why he had to be logical. But also for the patronization, he saw that they hadn't been nearly as rigorous as him so he found the way to stabilize where his confidence lacks. Not saying he was right, but I don't think he's anything like a villain and I think it's honestly so wrong to characterize an individual we know so little about that way. I think he just didn't react on the same layers.

Random person: Good work bro, you're amazing! Satvara: *I personally wouldn't consider it as a work, what i did was just to test myself in to push my limits as a personal expericence, also we don't have any kind of parental relation for you to make that claim. As for you judgement of my performance what does your concept of quality, what exactly are you considering when you say that it was a good run? is it for my skills when i interact with the mechanics that are being discovered thanks for what anyone would consider as a product of my dexterity and cunning, or is for the supposed superior quality of the run when compared to the others instances submited by other players? Either way i suppose i shoud thank you for your consideration and your choice of words.*

Satvara at least I could imagine having a normal chat with, even if he comes off at times as overly aggressive and stuck up with his interactions with the others in the GoW community. Meeting GMG would be a whole other experience...
Literallllyyyy. Strikes me as a “woe is me, everyone in the world is stupid and bad, and I’m the only decent one out there and that’s why I have no friends”. I could be way off base but that’s really the picture he paints of himself to me
I know right? I mean c’mon! The biggest tell is that he is still pissed at Satvara for being better at the game than he is. He doesn’t respect the single and most influential person to touch the game that he managed a forum for. What a little beach he must be. Satvara also doesn’t seem that bad to be honest. Sure he was very arrogant when he was doubted but he had the skill to back it up and that makes it ok in my books to be arrogant.
@@co7769 "he is still pissed at Satvara for being better at the game than he is" But GMG isn't a speedrunner, he's a challenge runner, and the two categories are completely different. One is about breaking the game and skipping as much stuff as possible (essentially making the game into a goofy platformer), the other is about testing the limits of the combat system and see what you can do with it. This video in general paints GMG in a bad light but he's a good dude, just likes to troll unsuspecting victims (like ThaRixer himself).

The secret is Satvara sees the game world as just polygons instead of all the visual clutter called "graphics" If you don't see the illusion the Devs want you to see, you can more clearly see how to escape the prison.

I think satvara was just having fun with all the trash talk. this is 2007 were talking about here and the internet was a far less sensitive place. if anyone took satvara trash talk seriously he'd have been banned imo but everyone talked to each other like that pre 2010 on game forums, it was just friendly edginess imho

It's amazing what this man alone did. It's truly astonishing how absolutely genius he was ( and still is). I thank you very much for showing me about what he has done. BTW Satvara u absolute beast of a man you joined one of the most played games ever and in 2 months surpassed EVERYONE in there. Without you the community wouldn't have reached the levels it has reached at this point time
The fatal flaw of the romans was that they killed jesus in t-pose; resetting jesus player model allowing him to take advantage of a death exploit to respawn and noclip through the cave.
I like a badass introduction like this, a dude coming in KNOWING his info, and CONFIDENT in it, was able to directly erase the existence of the importance of everyone else's runs. All while genuinely pointing out that it was truly impossible for them if they just kept using the current strats they knew at the time. Satvara was right, it was truly impossible for them before he or someone else like him came around. Him being condescending though? Aight man it's a video game, we dont need that much edge. What an interesting dude. Also GodModeGOD STILL never really dropping the minor beef he had with satvara, just kinda makes me think he was mad that a random showed up one day and put everyone's runs to shame and never got over it. I hope that isn't the case though, dude seems like a pretty sound guy.
i honestly dont respect satvara in any way. there are so many speedrunners with so much better ability that don't carry the ego with them.
@@gremlinman9724 dude did that as an experiment run with all of them being his tricks ..and you tell me he doesn't have the reason to bragg?

I think that GodmodeGod actually did great, technically was not trying to disrespect a new member, even though Satvara spawned there saying his run was almost an hour better than the best run of the time, without any kind of proof. He was the "owner" of the forum and that's what makes me think that his reaction was quite right, as for their beef in the conversation prior Satvara first approach, cannot defend the man, was like teenagers arguing, nevertheless, amazing video and I do agree with your opinion about the confidence Satvara had, madlad.
I really enjoyed this story, especially Satvara’s character. He was arrogant, but also an absolute gaming beast. Please make more awesome speed run videos for us ThaRixer!

One of my fondest memories of the original God of War is playing troughout the whole game in one day with my brother and a few friends. The fact that there still might be stuff to discover in this game in terms of how to break it is just insane.
Iconic series of games. I remember when GOW came out and I bought it brand new in 2005. Rage quit about midway through (I wasn't very good back then) and then eventually GOW II came out and after beating it I had to go back to the first game. Amazing games. Influenced me and my buddies for years. And then 2018 GOW 4. It's nice to see the things you like really prosper like this. Cheer, my friend!
imo old games are a gold mine when it comes to game breaking strats because now we have tools like datamine and TAS
Tbf games like sm64 which have been out for 20+ years are still finding stuff to shave time off speed runs. So I wouldn’t be surprised if this game hasn’t even hit its peak yet.
This man waited 17 years and now he’s getting more cred than ever before
I can’t imagine how you could hold a grudge over someone being mean on the internet over 10 years later
Lol same
yeah... that guy godmodegod will still to this very day foam at his mouth if satvara is mentioned on any of the god of war subreddits. he's known to be an asshole and all around annoying person lol
Ricky! I love that you make so many good videos about PS speedrunning, because I think there are so many videos like this for Nintendo or PC, but barely anything for PS. It is heartwarming to see people I have never heard of find insane glitches. And when you covered Ratchet & Clank it felt like the speedrun really mattered. Thank you for the amazing informative videos!
Yeah weird. I never noticed how unpopular speedrunning seems for PS. It exists, it just doesn't have a Portal or SM64 big popular game
I do have a few theories as to why PS Speedrunning isn't as popular. The first is that Nintendo and PC games have been around for longer and were often the "de facto" games. For example, if you owned a NES at the time and wanted to try speed running, most of your options were Nintendo's own games. This meant the earliest speed runners played Nintendo and PC games which popularised speed running there. Meanwhile, because the PS platform came later, it has to "build its speed running scene from scratch" so to speak. The second is that many Nintendo and PC games often lend themselves more to speed running than PS games. Like, take Super Mario Bros for example. That game doesn't have an elaborate story or combat. Its main appeal is platforming I.e movement. So if a Mario Bros player wants to get more out the game, all they have to focus on is movement which normally amounts to playing the game faster which inspires speedrunning. In contrast, a game like God of War will take longer to inspire Speed runners because there's more stuff for a new player to focus on before they try going faster. Even if they replay it, Perhaps they'll first try mastering the combat or getting more out of the story. This is normally why the most popular speedrunning games tend to be stuff like Doom, Portal, Mario etc. Games which "trim the fat" and focus more on movement which is more likely to encourage speedrunning. Which is not to say God of War speedrunning isn't good. It is. Its just that it doesn't encourage it to casual players
@@FraserSouris That's a good point of view about it. Most PS game (specially nowadays) are focused on telling a story and speedrunning communities seems to like fast games more, which is obvious why.
@@FraserSouris Depends on what you qualify as a "PS" game. Western PS games haven't gotten as much love but the JRPG scene, which is very PS heavy given the size of the game pool in PS1 and PS2 generations especially, is decently popular even though those runs can often be many many hours. Twitch streams of FF games from 7-10 especially always draw some audience, though many of those are lurkers. 7+ years ago I remember watching one of the WR holders (Caracarn) and sometimes it would be many minutes between chat messages.
Satvara's story is cool and all, but I really want to commend your video creating skills. Truly amazing editing, storytelling and pace.
This right here, yes.
This got recommended to me as I've been playing the older GoW games recently. Your story telling honestly rivals Summoning Salt's and the quality of this video is amazing.
you see I find this fascinating enough to waste 44 minutes of my life watching a video documenting it but how people waste years of constantly replay the same game to speedrun it and save one more minute is something I could never understand
he is literally a god level gamer, damn i think even the creators of the game didnt even know there is a glitch like that.
Ofc the creators didn’t know about the glitches
I feel like he's actually a very smart programmer.He studied the programming of the game to know the glitches
@@aakashkedem6372 To being able to study programming, he would need the source code. Unless he is one of the developers of the game, he doesn't have the source code. Your comment really doesn't make sense (no offense). Additionally, to the original comment: Of course the developers of the game did not know about the glitches. That is why they are called glitches, dude....
Literally?
Actually the creators of the game knows very well about the glitch. Jason McDonald, one of the game creator in God Of War series has done the speedrun. There's a trophy named the Speed of Jason McDonald in God of War 1. He speedrun the game in 3 hours easy
I clicked this not knowing I’d watch every moment and it feel like 5 minutes, what a throwback, can’t believe that game was that well dug into at the time it was just great fun
This video is amazing, the storytelling along with the editing, perfection.
Satvara Is THAT GUY 😂 holy F. He’s a genius, I wonder if game devs incorporated all this glitches on purpose for people to find later on.
This is kind of scary how ahead of his time his strats were like he independently found all these any percent level glitches in 2007!? Dang...
I've been watching speedrunning history vids from SummoningSalt and others and I thought that Matt Turk was the #1 speedrunner ahead of his time with his insane Punch-Out! speedruns, but holy fuck this satvara guy contributed YEARS' worth of glitches in just a few months after the God of War speedrunning community started. Imagine how long the community would've taken to even get to his 1:21 record (which would be considered as top 12 or even top 2 depending on which category you put it in btw) had he not taken interest in the game or speedrunning it. What a goddamn legend.
I can't imagine how many tries he made to discover literally every glitch
he was on the develepmont team
@@rohanlanda ?
@@akeneagle6567 they, the dev team, say he was an insider
@@rohanlanda no proofs
@@rohanlanda nope
This Satvara guy reminds of that whole "Piano Rush E" debacle. It boils down to "dude A" attempting Rush E on piano, getting called "thrash" by "dude B", and offended, "dude A" told him: "Oh yeah? Why don't YOU do better then?" "Dude B" proceeded to do much better. :^)
People doubting and calling Satvara's speedrun fake is like insulting Josuke's Hair. He would make you regret saying it by quickly doing a barrage of undoubtedly legit records of undiscovered glitches and shortcuts with each one being an equivalent to a massive punch to the gut as proof that they're indeed painfully real and having a huge impact on everyone. Then he disappears for a while, then comes back again to revive the golden age of GOW speed running and does another barrage of clips uncovering more ways to break the game as a final fuck you to anyone who probably continued to doubt his claims, and goes back into the darkness one final time to finally focus and help survive those he cared about. That's a classic Josuke moment right there.
Love seeing these "Broke in Half" videos. Such a fascinating story and I think you did an excellent job of weaving it into an entertaining documentary. Thanks as always for another great video! ALSO I LOVE Satvara's quote at the end about Sequence Breaking!
This is one of the coolest and most well done videos on KZhead ever. I've never heard about all this speedrunning thing and It's fricking 3 in the morning and I'm sleepy af but the script is so well written that you cannot stop watching it. Hats off, mate. Hats off.

540 am for me
Exactly the same here! This changed the entire speedrun concept, it's so interesting
God of war has the best music of any game ever. Absolutely epic.
Just wanted to say this vid got me into playing the original God Of War. While I much preferred GoW 2018, I really enjoyed GoW's story! I'm about a third of the way through GoW II and that's been a really good time!
Satvara seems to have mellowed over the years but jesus GMG is still living as a early 2000s edgelord huh?
That's what I got too. It's been 15 years and the dude still talks like a kid.
Aye, some people don't change, just get older.
Yeah he’s still commenting on here it’s hilarious he’s like green texting and shit in KZhead comments. Honestly it’s kinda dope, he’s like a human time capsule
Agreed. Satvara's an adult while GMG's a man-child.

Does the name Satvara mean anything in any mythology?

This is the most hysterical "where is that boss music coming from?" Meme I have ever seen 😂😂
Satvara's reactions make sense. He probably posted his 1:21 time thinking it was nothing special and that there are faster runners out there so accusations of him bragging with an impossible time ticked him off. Especially since he really seems to think anyone could have found these techniques.
You'd think satvara did something a lot worse than getting into an online yelling match with another GoW community figure to garner that amount of drama and bad blood.

GmG is also an asshole, but a more bearable sort of asshole in that he just wants to come off as a cool badass in the sense of being a strong intimidating guy (as seen by his profile pic) whereas Sathvara plays the character of this unbearable nihilistic pseudo-intellectual edgelord who thinks he’s smarter than everyone else, as seen by _his_ profile pic. They’re both douches who think they’re cooler than they actually are, but Sathvara grates far more.
@@ThoroughlyBaked yeah, but in their defense, the conversations are from early 2000s right? The edge was pretty common around that time I believe.

Hey! I'm Brazilian and I'm following your Jak 3 saga, I found your channel through the Crash Bash video. I just wanted to say that I think your work is amazing and I came to comment on this specific video because I think that if you managed to subtitle more videos in Brazilian Portuguese, a lot of people here would start following you. I know it would be more work, but English is not very accessible here due to the country's socioeconomic conditions and it's sad that only this video has PT-BR subtitles. We love video games and even today we have a lot of affection for the PS1 and PS2. Much success and keep up the great work!
