The Speedrunning Thread

[igotrhythm]

Last night someone actually went over their estimated time.

Granted, it was the Pokemon TCG video game, but still. (Why he was using a water deck against the lightning-based grand master, I have no fucking clue.)

[thesunfan]

the fire emblem run went almost half an hour over estimate as well.

I dislike using saves too but I'd rather do that than replaying the levels (entertainment wise for the viewers). My run was pretty bad unfortunately, I could have definitely done better. It's hard to play on a 60hz monitor when you're used to playing on 120hz.

Holy fuck it's igor

The past 3 days have been ridiculous for Majora's Mask any%.

What new glitch/skip was found? I haven't watched any MM runs lately lol

[Wafles]

A glitch was found where you can basically warp to some owl statues without having to unlock them.

Current re-routed version using this glitch saves about 4 minutes(?)

Pretty sure when optimized it's way more of a save than 4 minutes >_>

[Wafles]

Maybe, the current re-route is closer to 4 or 5 though.

There's still the possibility that this is gonna lead to more glitches too, when new glitches like this are found in a game with lots of already existing glitches some interesting stuff definitely can happen

[Dynam0]

Just get Sockfolder on the case and we'll have it shorter than OoT in a matter of days lol

[Superbearhands]

perfect dark run was pretty sick

[darklordsarumon9]

Finally someone knew what my [AGDQ] CoD tag was from :P

[noname219]

Any good speedruns I should watch from AGDQ ?

My favourite so far were :
- Super Monkey Ball 2 race, kinda hard to follow, but entertaining
- TASBlock was short and fun
- Power Shovel, great pick to close WTFJapan
- Katamari Damacy, because I already played the game... and cetaka
- F-Zero GX obviously
- Glover wasn't a bad game
- The Mask had some good commentary
- Mirror's Edge was entertaining
- Half-Life 2, fun commentary, great tips
- Portal 1 & 2
- Super Punch-Out blindfolded was amazing
- Super Metroid, epic ending
- Minecraft, really unexpected speedrun

Viewtiful Joe was incredibly entertaining. You should check that one out.

the yoshi's island run was pretty good. i'm not a huge trihex fan but carl_sagan's commentary was good and the whole thing was pretty entertaining to watch.

[omega220]

I personally found halo 2 entertaining. Great commentary as well as great runner. Also biased cause I love the game lol. I missed most if not all of the bonus stream after AGDQ ending. Was there any cool runs there?

[igotrhythm]

Just saw CardsOfTheHeart's run of Pokemon Puzzle Challenge go up on SDA. (16:06 on intense!)

Now I gotta ask, is this our guy?

[AlexDest]

Just a note, they're uploading all the runs from AGDQ2014 now. So if you happened to miss some, keep a look out for those.
