Aspeedrunner who goes by the handle "Shizzal" recently broke one of Portal's four primary speedrunning world records, making him the current forerunner in each main category. The four most prestigious Portal speedrunning categories, as denoted byspeedrun.com, are Out Of Bounds, Inbounds, Glitchless, and Inbounds NO SLA ("Save Load Abuse," as a poster clarified on Reddit). Shizzal was already the world record holder in the first three, with his fastest time clocking in at 6m, 53s, 940ms in the Out Of Bounds category. Second place is only 120 milliseconds behind, which is indicative of how tight the gaps between perfect runs are. Yesterday, Shizzal took his record for Inbounds No SLA back after having been dethroned by another runner, adamantite. The current world record is 12m, 01s, 750ms, but Shizzal asserts in the YouTube description for his video that, "sub-12 is possible."
