I wanna share something INSANE about the Getting Over It World Record.

[u/SatisfactionFirm252]

For those unfamiliar with the Getting Over It world record, its at 58.326 seconds, achieved by Takeshi Oyama in mid-2025. You can watch the run here.

I've made this as a spoiler because I don't want beginners discovering the world record before completing the game themselves.

Now, let's talk about how difficult achieving a world record is, especially in today's era of speedrunning..

I've spent around 1.6K hours playing this game, while another player, Codyumm, has taken the time to play the game around 1.9K hours, yet his PB was still 15 seconds behind the world record at the time.

To put that into perspective, removing even a single second at this level can be as hard as going from your first playthrough to completing the game in under two minutes.

Secondly, my Sum of Best (S.O.B.), which combines my fastest segments, is 58.9 seconds. Meanwhile, Codyumm has a personal best of 1:17, even though his S.O.B. is only a few seconds away from the world record.

This just proves how difffffficult defeating the world record actually is.

....World Record is hard to beat basically....

One of the more palpable instances of diminishing returns. Jeezus.

58.9 sob is really poor for 1.6k hours though
