Speedruns

We gotta get that man some eggrolls.

 

And now, for something pretty much completely different.

 

Finished FF4 paladin% race in 23rd place with 1:05:58. Beat my pb too. For context there were around 70 of us.

 

Oh hey, speedrun.com finally added a page for Neverhood runs. There's only two videos on there, but it's still good to see, because I've done a lot of thinking about how to play it fast. I guess the biggest improvements in the runs would have to be in noting down the randomised combinations. Maybe it would be faster to be ambidextrous?

I'm really interested in getting into speedrunning, it's just hard because I'm in severe pain a lot of the time, and that makes it difficult to focus well enough. Planning routes is especially interesting, and I know I have the right frame of mind because I reset too much even when playing casually.

 

sorry for necro-ing thread but esa is happening next week and i just looked at the schedule ( https://esamarathon.com/schedule ) and how
do you speedrun
dnd

on an entirely different note

the first ever run of ori reverse event order one life plus

aka
Glitches: The Category

 

Looks like it's not really a speedrun, more a side event to attract interest/whatever

 

aww
fair, but sad

 

Because Half-Minute Hero isn't fast enough as is,

 

Manhunt speedrun: speedrun, except the game has been modded for multiplayer and there are now three other people trying to make life harder for you.

 

I am finding Hollow Knight challenging enough as is, trying to imagine the level of skill it takes not only to speed run competitively, but to do so with active sabotaging players

 

theres a like 15 minute speedrun of bugsnax and they skip almost everything except the entire ending sequence, then proceed to do that well enough to get the perfect ending because its fastest

 

The Hollow Knight Any% No Major Glitches route has been pretty stable almost since the game came out, but apparently in late 2017 a fourteen-year-old found a different route, taking a very different path through the world and using a very different set of abilities to perform skips. He almost completely changed the standard route. Almost.

 

I remain baffled by and impressed by people with the memorization & reflex precision necessary for this. Look at that last battle at the "what he's doing now" and the sheer number of attacks dodged

 

I don't know how I managed to miss this, but here's a speedrun of the puzzle game Baba Is You, going for the "true" ending.

 

psychonauts 2 speedrun with dev commentary!

feat. one of the devs falling off his chair, "I THOUGHT WE FIXED THAT!", and other such reactions

 

guy maps the game controls to his drumkit then speedruns super mario 64

 

Speedrunning the Path of Pain

Spoiler

By the end they're pulling off strats from the TAS because everything else has been optimized away.

 

Apparently you can do a very fast Paper Mario any% if you use some absolutely awful glitch work in Ocarina of Time. Yes, in a different game.

 

I think they eventually decided that didn't count as any% so they came up with a setup that wasn't like...ocarina%, but required plugging in a controller to port 3 and using a rubber band to hold its analogue stick in place?

EDIT: i said ocarina% but the actual category is a category extension called Stop n Swop
