Shade is a Kick streamer, content creator and Youtuber. He is a streamer who is small and has a really low viewer count because he has just begun streaming on Kick. He streams daily on his Kick channel to 59 followers where he plays many games, generally of the FPS genre. Some of the games he plays include Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO), Combat Master and BattleBit Remastered. Recently, he played Only Up! on his live stream and left all his viewers at a loss for words. 

When playing the game for the first time on his live stream, he began playing the game normally, as the teen character Jackie. He progressed a little into the game when he hit the trash on the wooden bridge and that boosted him high up in the game, this is known as the Trash Glitch which Shade was unaware of. He was shocked and so were his viewers, when he landed directly on the finishing strip that ends the game because of the insane boost from the Trash Glitch. He beat the game for the first time in 42.67 seconds, which was the glitched world record for Only Up! speedruns. To no one’s surprise, Shade decided to beat his own world record on the same day and finished at 33 seconds. Shade did not stop there, instead, he tried a third time on July 3rd and beat the game in an insane time of 14 seconds, setting the latest glitched Only Up! speedrunning world record by beating both of his previous runs.
