Blindfolded Jump King Speedrun - 9:57 (World Record) Main Babe

Award

Title

Description

Would have got this months ago but bad health got in the way, the run isn't great I lost a bunch of time but my goal was WR and sub 10 which I managed to fluke by 2 seconds. I'd like to get sub 9 in the future and maybe 0 falls too. Sub 8 is possible even.

A big inspiration for this run was a 3 year old time of 11:25 set by a Japanese Blindfolded Run specialist, until recently he was the only person to have beaten the game blindfolded without assistance. Link to a recent upload of his run here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=757OGlBj3_s

Answering some basic questions in case this happens to get more than a couple hundred views.

Q: This has to be cheated right, how can you possibly know where you are?
A: Sounds Cues and normalized setups, lots of them. Also memory and visualization.

Q: You walk on platforms, how can you know you won't fall off?
A: I can tell based on how delayed the landing sound where I am likely to have landed on each platform, sometimes I get it wrong.

Q: How many people have beaten the game blindfolded?
A: Without someone on call telling them where to jump (which is still cool btw) 3. Myself, GekimuzuG and the regular WR holder Trimp.

Q: What blindfold did you use?
A: Brand is ORIHEA, it's a thick sleeping mask. Also wearing a neck warmer that stops me from seeing light from under it at all.

Most of the route was made by myself but I'd also like to thank the people who helped with additional routing and strat finding.
GekimuzuG for his original run that I used as a starting point.
Yeet (dat boi) & Lehvel for general strat finding
Trimp for telling me to stop using strats and play on instinct (it works)
B1ink01 for his blindfolded completion guide, I may make a speedrun guide soon. Link to his below.
