How QWOP Broke Tomb Raider Speedruns

A bit of a shameless plug however, I thought you guys might find the history of the QWOP glitch interesting, and how it became an integral part of speedruns.

Nice video! I didn't even know the QWOP glitch existed til' now.

Cool video

Interesting to see how speedruns have evolved with QWOP

HELP! What does the video say from 52s to 56s?
I can hear the rest of it. The following is what I heard around 52s to 56s.

Quote:

Qwop happens when Lara lands on the floor when she's rising during a jump.
Jumping at a step or a low ceiling simulates that.
When you jump, you can see ... a little bit, indicating that she's landed while she's still rising.
The game doesn't acknowlege that you've landed during a rise and keeps trying to get you to land.
The game thinks you're still falling.

The '...' indicates the part I can't hear. Thank you very much.

You can see her walk on thin air for a little bit

^ Aha, thank you!

On a rather uninteresting note. Why would you possibly try to glitch your playthrough of Tomb Raider?

It's an interesting note. Tomb raider is a game for exploring and finding secrets, and glitches are the ultimate secrets embeded in the game. So I want to find them.
