I'm not downplaying speedruns here, but I will downplay the "World Record" and "Speedrun" part of this post.
Speedruns, as has been pointed out by a few, utilize glitches and tricks to get past things that you as a player were not meant to. Be that killing things way above your level with loads of barrels/enviromentals, or however you achieve this.
Running as fast as you can to tap a flag? I would not consider that a speed run. You haven't beaten anything. You ran through a zone and hit the edge of said zone. The important quest chain doesn't even properly resolve in EA as far as I know.
I didn't watch the video, but got enough in context clues of what is happening, and that is not even an any% speedrun.
You set your own goal, and then met that goal. Congratulations. You set a World Record for a goal you made up
Dude, no reason to be a jerk and undercut someone's success.
Not all speedruns ultilize glitches or tricks. Some ARE about just going through as fast as possible. And you don't get to decide if it's legit or not.
Stop being a jerk.
