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.

Yes
oh no
Aggreed
imagine there being a guinness world record for having most panic attacks on a Rhythm game
@Random Guy • 727 years ago nice name 🗿
@Don’t look 👀 at my profile what is your name?
there probably is
Don't look at my name''''
yea
Jaiden: Getting anxiety over a rhythm game speedrun Mini Jaiden: telling the story as calm and funny as ever
xavier : copying comments
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
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's run is impressive, no doubt, and certainly something to be proud of, but the difference between the First Place and Tenth Place runs (as can be seen at 12:14) is a mere 24 seconds. I'm not sure if a minute even gets her into the top 20.
The thing is, it’s speedrunning. Sometimes there are games where saving a SINGLE FRAME is a huge time difference
In some tighter timed games a minute is ages, in some games taking even a couple seconds off of the wr is a big deal. Not sure what it's like for this game, but I wouldn't be surprised if just being a minute off puts her low down on the leaderboard
I guess in speedrunning terms for a game like rhythm heaven a minute is alot. The record holder probably got close to frame perfect
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.
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
6:53 smol ame
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!!
0:40 Jaiden : "As The Videogame Masochist, I am" Markiplier : _"We aren't so different, you and I"_
I like the idea that Jaiden has a mini clone of herself as a roommate.

She's Jaidi
@CosmicMan08 d,
Jaiden and Mini Jaiden are really cute together
Same
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!
Can’t help but notice how this channel is becoming a part gaming/animation channel And I’m all for it

Rhythm heaven has extremely strict timing windows. It's not for the faint of heart.
wishing you the best morning/night - remember, what we think, we become 🧠💰
Pplpppppppp
Skill issue
Every wii game is
the depression you get from fc chokes is literally free dlc
I love how Jaiden changed the name from "speedrunning an unspeedrunnable game" to "speedrunning a rhythm game is hard"
I watched the long version last night, but this has been made SO entertaining. You never fail to deliver Jaiden. Keep it up!
Here lies: Jaden's heart, brain and sanity
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)
Geez I'm impressed by the sheer amount of patience you needed to get through a single run, let alone get a record 💀
wishing you the best morning/night - remember, what we think, we become 🧠💰
Arcade!
I love the credit song. Id hate to screw up on a speed run and be consistently reminded of that when I hear that song😖
M o n k e
You’re such a great storyteller, you had me feeling just as anxious. Congratulations on making it!
I'll say this, thank you for highlighting this game. Even as a speed run, the series deserves some recognition 👏
Few things can make me feel old quite like hearing someone talk about how the Wii was something they "grew up" with 😅
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.
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
wishing you the best morning/night - remember, what we think, we become 🧠💰
dude I see you on literally every other video now lol
this happened to me while i was trying to full combo somethin in a call with my friends and i had the “1 hour of silence occasionally broken by the vine boom sound effect” video playing along with them. the anxious anticipation of wondering if/when it would play while trying to stay focused in an already distracting environment had me sweatin
Yes
yeah, it's that point where I'd be in mute or like, "dude, can I get you like, water and a towel to help" over chat, at that point. sure, there's no way to get that done over the internet... but it's the thought that counts. I think.
“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
To the person reading this: Even though I don’t know you, I wish you the best of what life has to offer 💙

Fishing for those likes I see
Thank you
Verified comment with no comments and one like? 👀
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
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)
is it just me or is Jaiden becoming a rhythm heaven channel
wishing you the best morning/night - remember, what we think, we become 🧠💰
Yes
Need this
yes
Ayo my absolute favorite AMplussr
"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...
‘Video game masochist’ is the perfect way to describe a speedrunner
Smol gremlin Jaiden is adorable, and I for one welcome our new overlord.
Whoever’s reading this, i pray that whatever your going through gets better and whatever your struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen
@SkeletalMan 💀💀💀
Im blind.
Speed running takes so much patience. I have so much respect for Jaiden 😩
wishing you the best morning/night - remember, what we think, we become 🧠💰
Upload a video
@Igor Fo WTF y u talking abt a soviet union dictator
To the people who think speedrunning doesn’t take patience… you’re right, if you only do a single run and be done with it. Trying to get a somewhat competitive time? Unless you’re running an obscure game category or are already well-practiced with the run itself, you will need great patience to improve your time gradually. Without patience, you’ll probably give up after choking a run or two near the end. A speedrun does not necessarily require patience, but true speedrunners will have enough patience to improve their runs until they are satisfied.
hi TJ
As a creator I have huge respect for Jaiden. She presents her videos so well and her narration skills are top notch
I feel like after like a week of this video being up there will be like 10 other speedrunners in this platform
Jaiden: *speedruns Rhythm Heaven* Me: *checks Jaiden's heart rate monitor* Also me: Wow, I can't believe you are speedrunning this thing at 69,420 BPM.
I freaking love RHF. The cheerleaders and the wrestler interview will always make me laugh
I like the idea that Jaiden has a mini clone of herself as a roommate.
wishing you the best morning/night - remember, what we think, we become 🧠💰
DO I HEAR LORE!!!!
Hii
@Mask. I used to believe that too but sorry to break it to you, now lonely sandwich is a commenter that copies other comments.
guys this is a copied comment wtf. the original is by Lonely Sandwich.
One thing to always remember is that it's almost never about the WR. It's more about the personal best. And for a first run, any PB is the best PB. You have literally no competition for a PB but yourself.
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.
I love when Jaiden animations makes a video she gets number 1 trending and I'm proud of Jaiden animations. Been watching her for 5 or 6 years now. But at the end of the day her animations are great keep up the good job as always!
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%.
It’s really refreshing seeing Jaiden get more and more interested in the realm of speedrunning.
I frikin scrolled down expecting to see this guy.
@Volshebnik 🅥 Hey quit it.
@Soundbruhepic Hey quit it.
L
Before you know it we will hear her name in summoning salt videos as often as Matt Turk's
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
Jaiden, however much we love these videos, pleaaseeee don’t give yourself panic attacks over a video game 😭 we love your mental health too much!!
if this finally brings rhythm heaven into the mainstream i will be SOOOOOO happy this video is incredible thank you so much for the story!!
if this finally brings rhythm heaven into the mainstream i will be SOOOOOO happy this video is incredible thank you so much for the story!!
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.
Like same yo.
True
Aaww
@Tanish 13 2 cats
@Jill what is on your profile picture?
if this finally brings rhythm heaven into the mainstream i will be SOOOOOO happy this video is incredible thank you so much for the story!!

I want more smol Jaiden in these from now on, she's a national treasure
“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
“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
That's Donk-Donk for you.
People like the idea that Jaiden has a mini clone of herself as a roommate
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...
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.
Jaiden: this was the worst nervous anxiety ive had Me, with GAD: Train for a thousand years then challenge me
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
@Jaiden Animations This will be good information to have, when you finally talk yourself into trying the All Perfect category. 🤣😂🤣
the game is one of the circular buttons on the side. there is a tutorial explaining this
@FanOfIndieGames&UnpopularGames sad
@UserFlooser Tim died tbh
@Tangerine not really a fun fact, the tutorial for the minigame blatantly tells you that.
I love little Jaiden is being such a little emotional support animal for big Jaiden
Can we just take a minute to respect jaidens willpower to make a new video after the very stupid and unjust controversy of her last video
Being really musically inclined my whole life came in clutch for rhythm heaven fever.
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!
"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.
That was the meme during Super Mario Bros. 35, right? How many got beat by the first Goomba?
Always the first goomba. Never the second or twelfth, always the first one that kills you
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.
Rhythm Heaven probably has some of the tightest windows for a rhythm game, it's not an easy game and you killed it!
So technically this whole video screams "never ending pain, with music"
The coolest thing is that this game has almost the same art style as Jaiden.
"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
@Unaverage Avocado NO DO NOT, NOT THAT-
Hmm, let me say something only rhythm heaven fans would understand Quiz Show in Megamix
*M o n k e y W a t c h*
As someone who has gotten all the perfects in every game, I would not wish an all perfect speedrun on my worst enemy
The only thing preventing this speedrunning category from being more competitive is that they don't accept runs completed on emulators. This makes sense obviously, but this game is so hard to get a physical copy for.
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
The only time I sweated during a game was on the last level of DK64, as a kid, the music and atmosphere was soooooo intense!
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.
Therapist: “so why have you come in today shaking?” Jaiden: “r-rhythm heaven”
Galaxy collapse: interesting
@Demoldier *angry bomb man flashbacks*
O-O
I’d love to know how you animate. From a learners perspective
@Demoldier i like fnf too but dont bring it into an unrelated topic
Jaiden!! We love your speed runs, but if it’s this stressful for you then please keep it cool! 💜
I fell from my chair laughing hard when "God o' Rhythm" appeared. Amazing!
Love the video game videos. It feels like your having a lot of fun, and it translates to great content
Only true rhythm gamers will know that this videos name was “speedrunning an unspeedrunable game”
OK but can you do it blindfolded
The series is actually pretty blind friendly
@GeoDraws why?
Don’t give her any ideas-
yo
No she can’t
I didn't know about Rhythm Heaven growing up, though it sounds like fun. Kudos Jaiden, you made your mama proud.
I love how some people remember Rhythm Heaven as a completely different game thanks to a certain video that was made
5:36 I was expecting “Hands were shaking, palms were sweaty, arms spaghetti” 😂
loved this video. after jaiden has not posted for a while, finally. also rhythm heaven is one of my favorite old rhythm games. a tip: close your eyes jaiden, close your eyes.
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.
Yeah lol!
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]
YOU DID IT!!! DONT ALMOST DIE WHEN YOU DO SPEEDRUNS!!! Love ya stay alive
God i love how much better jaidens animations have gotten its amazing
Love this! Rhythm heaven can be tough as nails lmao, fantastic game. One of my most proud gamer achievements is a sub-2 hour no major glitches any% HK run! got it down from like 6 haha
Those "Little mistakes" are called "Barely". Barely hits are counted as a miss or as a hit depending on the minigame on older RH games. Starting on Fever though, all barely hits are counted as misses. However, in an older rhythm heaven game, you could get a Superb medal while getting all barely hits lol (lockstep is the best example).
No, barelys always count as misses. It's just in DS when going for a perfect that they count as hits because DS is really fucking weird and them making you tap the screen perfectly on-beat for 2 minutes straight might get the devs on the wrong side of the Geneva convention. But in Tengoku (the never localized GBA game with only 8 sets compared to the 10 in every other game) barelys are still misses regardless. Which is super annoying when there's a few games in Tengoku with little to no distinction between barelys and hits, like Polyrhythm.
An all barely run of Lockstep will result in a try again. However you will still get a perfect from it
In megamix (the 3ds one) anyway
Modder here Barely hits are considered a miss in the code, they impact your score negatively, but not as much as a total miss
I understand the heart rate bump while gaming, if I start doing really well and absolutely CARRYING my team via clutches, I get OVERLOADED with adrenaline. And after the match, I literally fall asleep as if I died in ocarina of time right after.
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.
honestly every rhythm gamer out there knows the nervousfeeling of completing or "fc'ing" something
Very Great Job Jaiden. Loving seeing this Speedrun.
perfect runs are nice and all until the FO SHO kicks in
All about you
It's the "Crazy into you" for me
I Suppose
Your videos and animations always bring a smile to my face. They are hilarious.
I have never heard of this game, and this shows that I probably didn't miss much and my anxiety is better off getting spikes in platform games. Still, a very nice video.
Jaiden, for what it's worth, the idea of stocking up on videos is pretty good, actually. I know some youtubers who do it, and it kinda makes is feel like a new season of your favorite show. It makes it worth the wait a lot more.
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.
