Interesting GTAV Speedrun Strats (That aren't actually faster) #1
18,268Everyone loves to discuss and talk about the cool strats that are used in Speedruns - But I also want to give some notice and document some of the slower strats in the GTAV Speedrun, ideas that members of the community had that looked good on paper, but ended up not being faster once practiced.
These strats still give us more info about how the game works and often influence future ideas in the speedrun, so its important to keep track of these. As well, this now gives me a series for every type of strat - failed strats (this video), successful strats (Strat Update Series), and the Risky Strat Series for stuff that looks cool but works so un-often its not worth doing yet.
Another professional strategy that should have been included in this video is just to "play better lol" but it didn't quite make the cut.
Speedrunning often comes down to trusting the people who did runs before you - imagine someone starting Mario speedruns today, the game probably has over a decade of knowledge, and you basically just accept what people have found already and dive in. It's been the same for me in GTA V Speedruns - I mostly just trust that what was in the WR runs when I started was faster for a reason. But its nice to sometimes double-check the strats and see what makes the game tick in the neverending quest to play the game less and less - it makes me play more and more.

And finally, whoever suggested the alternate route on Casing the Jewel Store, I couldn't find your comment anymore, I searched for like an hour! If you read this feel free to contact me so I can properly link you in :) That was a special comment to me as I think it may have been the first suggestion I got from YouTube comments.
