Hyper Iria world record
So a bit over 2 weeks ago, I was trying out Japanese retro games that never came out in the West but eventually got a fan translation. I discovered a bunch of cool gems, but most importantly, I found out about Hyper Iria and I kind of fell in love with it. I played through it the next day and decided I wanted to master this game.
I looked it up on speedrun.com and found out the world record was 8 years old and quite a bit better than the other scores on the leaderboard. I decided to get to work and try to get the world record for myself. I recently quit my job and am visiting my parents in my native village, so I definitely had time to practice, which I did for almost 10 hours a day, every day. Once I felt ready, with hundreds of attempts on every stage but the last one, I started doing speedruns live on Twitch. 134 attempts later, here I am. This was a silly sidequest in my life and of course not the greatest accomplishment in gaming history or anything, but it was really great. I'm 33 years old and I love video games, and sometimes I wonder if my peak gaming days are behind me. I'm glad I could see this through to the end like this, it feels fantastic. Also, this is a pretty great B tier game, very fun to get into especially if you like memorizing routes. I'd be happy to give advice to anyone wanting to give this game a shot! Anyway, I just wanted to share =) I hope you all have a great day |

Re: Hyper Iria world record
I'm surprised there's not some sort of FFR speedrunning group.
Hyper Iria is a great game to learn speedruns. H&H made me try it out and I'm getting close to under 17 min now. I was just thinking that if I can do it, others probably can too. |
Re: Hyper Iria world record
i was gonna ask if anyone moderates that game anymore, i answered my own question by visiting the speedrun webpage, gg H&H.

Re: Hyper Iria world record
The new world record's animation cancelling is so fucking good
See @ 2:17 I experimented with this a little bit yesterday, but it's incredibly difficult to pull off on controller. Haku is also pretty good at cancelling, but this is next level |
Re: Hyper Iria world record
Just got the any% WR with 15m 40s 580ms.
https://www.speedrun.com/hyper_iria/runs/mkpd5q1y Not my proudest run, but it did the job. I did the classic "do what the others are doing, but try to do it a bit better". I do have ideas, but I probably shouldn't try them in full runs until I properly test them to be consistent. Stage 1 & 3 were a bit yikes tbh. Mostly got carried by Stage 2,4,5. I also have the normal% WR, but I think people are sleeping on it. I swear it's not a bad time. https://www.speedrun.com/hyper_iria/runs/zp62rkxm |

Re: Hyper Iria world record
https://www.speedrun.com/hyper_iria well shit I took the any% by less than a second
|
Re: Hyper Iria world record
Just got sub 15:4X and grabbed the normal% world record for the hell of it. Both runs are trash. The any% run is worse than most of the other top times, but I basically landed a desperate carpetless.
As for normal%... Quote:
I mean, it -is- good, but nothing you can't destroy as you are right now. I beat it in 9 tries, you will beat it within 10 for sure, and not by a few seconds. |
Re: Hyper Iria world record
I just got back the normal% by beating my time by 10 seconds so, I guess you're not wrong. Took me 40-50 runs tho, not 10 lol. Rust maybe idk.
any% is coin flip to WR back tbh Edit: Improved the normal% WR of 17m35s to 17m17s just now. |
