Speedrunning a rhythm game is hard

Jaiden needs a heart rate monitor for these speedruns. Both for content and so her friends can see the exact moment she has the inevitable heart attack.

imagine there being a guinness world record for having most panic attacks on a Rhythm game

OK but can you do it blindfolded

Rhythm heaven has got to be my favourite nintendo franchise of all time, so It's truly amazing to see such a big youtuber talking about a game as niche as this. Thank you Jaiden!!

Jaiden: Getting anxiety over a rhythm game speedrun
Mini Jaiden: telling the story as calm and funny as ever

Speed running takes so much patience. I have so much respect for Jaiden 😩

I see Jaidens brain is structured a lot like mine. A giant jenga tower that gets shakier and shakier until one simple mistake causes the entire thing to crumble.

What do you mean "Not even close"? You're one minute slower than the world record! Just ONE MINUTE! That's amazing!
Don't sell yourself short! You did great!

Jaiden: *Getting anxiety over a rhythm game speedrun*
Mini Jaiden: *telling the story as calm and funny as ever*

as someone who feels like she's about to explode doing just one "go for perfect" this would have absolutely turned me into dust. great job!!

I love how Jaidens persona is just shapeshifting into every possible game character in these gaming videos XD
the first and only rhythm game I ever played are the Patapon games.

To the person reading this: Even though I don’t know you, I wish you the best of what life has to offer 💙

9:23 That's two misses, assuming you got the "hold A and B" input. If not, three.
9:34 That's a "barely". Not sure how much weight it is on your score loss. It still ends a "Go for a Perfect" though
9:51 That's a miss and a barely
10:14 These are barely's
11:00 That's two misses

You can actually hear the terror in Jaiden’s voice between mini games. Good on you for persevering.

I’ve had experiences where I will sight read or play a piece of music for the first time and play almost perfect, but then the next few times when I run it through I will make more mistakes. Practice makes performance (or great content) - what great ambition and motivation to conquer yet another speedrun challenge!

I watched the long version last night, but this has been made SO entertaining. You never fail to deliver Jaiden. Keep it up!

I’ve had this game for years just like you. My brother actually clocked a 1 hour 49 minute run (unofficially) and I can’t even get Remix 10 done. Tbh I thought Remix 7 would’ve been a thorn in your side. It sure was for me

Having finally gotten into the Rhythm Heaven series within the last year, it's really nice to see a youtuber I enjoy watching doing a video on it! (and it hitting #1 trending no less)
Dear God though, I felt that secondhand stress, especially with Remix 10, lmao.

is it just me or is Jaiden becoming a rhythm heaven channel

Can’t help but notice how this channel is becoming a part gaming/animation channel
And I’m all for it

Great job on the runs and perseverance, RHF is no joke when it comes to being overly picky on OKs vs Superbs. Welcome to the community.
-Your friend, 5th Place.

Jaiden : "As The Videogame Masochist, I am"
Markiplier : _"We aren't so different, you and I"_

Dude that heartrate thing is just all rhythm games. Coming from a rhythm game player (osu!) when you're on an insane run and the map is like 5 minutes long, your heartrate reaches new heights. If anyone who doesn't know wants an example look up "BTMC Raise My Sword" for a dude who hit 200 bpm on his heartrate after an insane play.

I could feel the anxiety during the Discord call section, they're having a casual conversation and you're having the fight of your life LOL

You’re such a great storyteller, you had me feeling just as anxious. Congratulations on making it!

Here lies: Jaden's heart, brain and sanity

I kinda never played this game but i really got into watching rhytm heaven lately because it looks really cool .Maybe I will play it someday when i get the wii

Geez I'm impressed by the sheer amount of patience you needed to get through a single run, let alone get a record 💀

I love how Jaiden changed the name from "speedrunning an unspeedrunnable game" to "speedrunning a rhythm game is hard"

This was a nostalgia hit I wasn’t expecting, lol. Nice work, mate, nice animation work too!
Also, I’m so sorry that your anxiety was spiking so much, and so often! :( Empathy and sympathy alike. I hope you’re able to recuperate, and rest.
(Also, I like how so many folks are making aro ace fanart, it just makes me happy. As an ace fellow myself, it sparks joy)

“I was still donking Against them, but in a way that's like I definitely didn’t donk perfectly”
Is a quote people didn’t expect

I'll say this, thank you for highlighting this game. Even as a speed run, the series deserves some recognition 👏

It’s really refreshing seeing Jaiden get more and more interested in the realm of speedrunning.

Rhythm Heaven Fever is one of my favorite games ever and I’m glad to see that one of my favorite youtubers relates to the struggle of Remix 10 like I did. Amazing speedrun and video😊

“I thought about going for an all-perfect run”
Anyone who has ever played Rhythm Heaven instantly knew this was a horrible idea the moment it turned into a sentence

Smol gremlin Jaiden is adorable, and I for one welcome our new overlord.

I like the idea that Jaiden has a mini clone of herself as a roommate.

I remember speed running a game that I used to be good at, my anxiety was beyond the point of shaking. Halfway through, I just stopped, got some water, and sat down for 5 minutes. I felt so much better afterwards.
(I didn’t actually want to get within a certain place, I just wanted to see how good I could do compared to other people)

Few things can make me feel old quite like hearing someone talk about how the Wii was something they "grew up" with 😅

I like how jaiden has a mini jaiden, like Lizzie McGuire and her inner monologue. It’s nostalgic and just as fun

As someone who can't summarize things I really admire Jaidens succinct storytelling abilities 😌 plus she always adds perfect dramatic flare that just amplifies that

Rhythm heaven has extremely strict timing windows. It's not for the faint of heart.

"And since I'm not running a game, no one else has run before" - I feel she calls out someone, but I am not pretty sure it's Easy to find out...

Time to do a Darksouls speed run, that would totally be stress free! Seriously though good job! If it had been be I probably would have died of a heart attack. I use to be really good at rythem based games but somewhere down the line I just had a switch flip and now I just suck at them, good job for sticking with it and placing 2nd! =)

I feel like after like a week of this video being up there will be like 10 other speedrunners in this platform

“I was still donking against them, but in a way that’s like I definitely didn’t donk perfectly” is a quote I didn’t expect

‘Video game masochist’ is the perfect way to describe a speedrunner

I completely understand the stress of perfect-ing a song in a rhythm game, it is the worst stress ever. And doing that 50 times is beyond impressive

Jaiden is like a large, bold, stern pancreas, made of baked steel, ready to govern a country (albeit a small one like Iceland) with her powerful brand of politics which would have enough rhetorical force behind it to last 7 years before people became fatigued and her approval rating fell to 43%.

I fell from my chair laughing hard when "God o' Rhythm" appeared. Amazing!

Jaiden is such a good story teller that every emotion she described, I felt. So I was an emotional wreck by the end of the video.

That kind of, "As soon as I think about how well I'm doing the nerves spike and the mistakes start" is so relatable in rhythm games - I always had to try and go full Zen in osu

I’m excited to see her start speed running more advanced games like splatoon or Mario

So technically this whole video screams "never ending pain, with music"

People like the idea that Jaiden has a mini clone of herself as a roommate

"I thought about going for an all-perfect run"
Anyone who has ever played Rhythm Heaven instantly knew this was a horrible idea the moment it turned into a sentence lol

I freaking love RHF. The cheerleaders and the wrestler interview will always make me laugh

I love how some people remember Rhythm Heaven as a completely different game thanks to a certain video that was made

Bless Alpharad for coming in and trying to get a handle of the situation without trying to get too in the way. Like, bless you too for going through this nightmare of an ordeal, but still. He came in not knowing what was going on and did his best, as you were doing the whole time as well.

I have had offhanded thoughts about what would happen if someone tried to speedrun rhythm heaven before while playing it...
Guess I dont have to ask anymore!

I like the idea that Jaiden has a mini clone of herself as a roommate.

As a Rhythm Heaven enjoyer myself, let me just say, you're so brave

Being really musically inclined my whole life came in clutch for rhythm heaven fever.

I heard some of the music for this game and I finally found it from this video! (I hope you feel better now Jaiden)

I want more smol Jaiden in these from now on, she's a national treasure

"Started and immediately missed the first beat..."
What nobody knows about all those Mario speedruns is how many get bodied by that first Goomba before they turn on the camera. I call it the Pancake Run... cause the first one always comes out looking funny.

The fact that this was an All Medals Rhythm Heaven Fever speedrun and Monkey Watch was not brought up once astounds me. Jaiden really is just naturally gifted when it comes to rhythm.

Seeing a Dark Outline of Jaiden's Animated Character while a Pepe Brain and a Cartoon Heart screaming at eachother from Their Respective Body Cavities is not something
I expected I would see today... [8:47]

I love the little mini Jaiden just vibing about and being unerring optimistic (except one single time). Like "Yeah Jaiden might die or something but... VIDDYA JAEMS!"

Ooh, rhythm games~! The first rhythm game that I've played was Elite Beat Agents on the NDS, and I got so hooked about it that I played each stage multiple times in order to see the good/bad ending of each stage.

I like how Little Jaiden has become her own character and has a physcial body that interacts with big Jaiden. Some of the stuff Big Jaiden and Little Jaiden do together is pretty cute.
Another great video with great animation.

I am kind of scared about this game now
Like this sounds like the most stressful run yet

As someone who has never been good at endurance challenges in video games, this kinda stuff amazes me. In some ways, needing to be nearly perfect is almost worse than needing to be completely perfect in a game where you don’t know how much that “nearly” actually allows for and I would never have been able to do this. Awesome job!

Man, THANK YOU, I seriously hope this video will get normies to pay attention to the series. The music, the gameplay, everything is so much fun and it sucks that it usually gets ignored. Hopefully we get a RH Switch game.

Rhythm Heaven probably has some of the tightest windows for a rhythm game, it's not an easy game and you killed it!

So fun fact, that "roll jump" part in the jumping section is actually a hold a + b input, and not a double tap input
Most people (myself included) beat the game without ever realizing that lol

Congrats on the run Jaiden, Also One of the best games i've ever played.
Though Monkey watch can suck a lemon for all the times i've failed it...

everytime i speedrun a game, i just lose all emotion during the whole process

Jaiden has the unique superpower of getting me way too much invested in the completion of games I care the least about.
Actually, I even started my first pokemon game (Platinum) because I was so invested in her Nuzlockes xD

Amazing storytelling 😍

When I started playing rhythm games I thought it was " hard and dull and no true joy when playing it" but M A N... 💯 / 💯 Game Genre.
Edit: I thought of rhythm games like that bcuz of me watching my friend's play it and thinking that but ofc always remember
" Don't cry until you try it " - idk

This is one of my FAVORITE game!!!! Trying to get a perfect on Remix 10 consumed 4 months of my college career. Because what I needed during college was more stress 🙃 great times honestly 😂

I love the Rhythm Heaven games, but I struggle on some of them. The Monkey Clock in Fever and LockStep in the DS game always get me. I struggle to pass them and it's been a wall for me.

Extremely wholesome video! Glad to see that you had fun and managed to clear your personal goal!

Therapist: “so why have you come in today shaking?”
Jaiden: “r-rhythm heaven”

I didn't know about Rhythm Heaven growing up, though it sounds like fun. Kudos Jaiden, you made your mama proud.

YOU DID IT!!! DONT ALMOST DIE WHEN YOU DO SPEEDRUNS!!! Love ya stay alive

Your storytelling and animations are fantastic! My mental health stat bumps up a notch every time I watch one of your videos. Thank you!

It used to be called “I tried speed running an unspeedrunable game” I think

perfect runs are nice and all until the FO SHO kicks in

honestly every rhythm gamer out there knows the nervousfeeling of completing or "fc'ing" something

Poor Jaiden, fooled by Night Walk's "double tap".
It's not a double tap. It's an AB-hold/release. I've seen many fall victim to this same folly.

Fun fact: The original title was “speedrunning an unspeedrunable game”

Congratulations glad you’ve done it was stressful watching… my anxiety was through the roof so happy you did it thought about speed running Mario kart maybe

I saw the thumbnail, immediately knew what she was talking about and went:
"Oh no, Jaiden! Don't do this to yourself." And here she did.

Only true rhythm gamers will know that this videos name was “speedrunning an unspeedrunable game”
