Yeah I know, I follow Fearow and talk to him now and then, it's really interesting!

fixed link for you

also zoast is destroying super metroid today with new WRs in 3 categories and counting

[Wafles]

Zoast is a monster at Super Metroid.

Haven't watched a lot of decent speedruns lately, got kind of bored of ZFG spamming attempts at OoT 100%, and Shaeden (Pydoyks) doesn't stream as often lately. Cosmo stream is always donator%, CirnoTV is interesting as always but he's not good.

Honestly Go1den's WR for Driar this week is the only interesting thing I saw.

Finished Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs and decided that the measly four hours of gameplay wasn't enough for me so I started speedrunning it lol. The glitches aren't too terribly difficult to execute and it's rather fun. I need a ton of practice but I have a good feeling about this one.

I practiced Phantasy Star Online ep.3 runs a little while back. Best I got was 10 mins. from WR D:

Found a new route through Tsunami Bowl today that lets me take the shortcut on the first lap. Got it down to 1:53.24, then knocked off another tenth of a second while tinkering with drafting off the AI.

Also, apparently the starting gate on that track is destructible.

Sub 1:44 on Lost Babylon Gauntlet is nope because of all the explosives around the orrery near the end. I almost cut through it once, but at that speed with Rad Hazard you can't afford any mistakes.

It'd take a mod to do it right, so I'm just gonna leave this here.

dude there's nothing bad about me posting a thread specific to a very hyped run

if i just posted it here not as many people would've gone to watch

[Dynam0]

agreed^ no harm done in making a thread especially considering how inactive this one was at the time

*grumble grumble*

*food drop*

...fine.

Working on a LoZ run, still pounding out the route. (Can't remember how to get the silver arrows, might need the red ring too for peace of mind.) There's luck involved, more so with this game because of enemy behaviors. Farthest I've gotten without dying is through 5th dungeon, saving Level 6 for last because the wizzrobes in a couple of the rooms are a bitch and a half.

Wizzrobes are much easier if you know the trick to the blue ones never attacking you (stand in between tiles). Certainly made it much easier for the three heart run I was trying to do once I realized that (after dying 50+ times).

The problem with that is that they're not working alone. They've got red ones and like-likes and occasionally even jinxes in the same room.

Gonna poke this thread back to life because I finally got one of my speedrunning goals today:



Sub 25 super meat boy

Depressing thing is that now my splits are relatively decent up until Rapture. I lose at least 4 minutes between Rapture and The End in these splits Probably lose a minute in salt factory as well.
Time to grind practice.

[JurseyRider734]

Good Work.

Played some more Pokémon Puzzle League for the first time in a little while, and finally got sub-20 in Spa Service!

No stream, no vid (Easy way to record this?), no ss (That was stupid of me). But...

Single Segment Pokemon Yellow PB: 2:16
Pokemon Yellow Segmented PB: 2:32

I use Playr.org for my ~emulator~ so I hope these still count.

pokemon times are usually based on game time so that emulator doesn't matter
but sick job completing yellow, it's a pain in the ass.

I guess I'll post this here cause it still stands
random no reset run resulted in improving wr (from august)

[Dynam0]

Holy shit that THPS vid was awesome

And yeah yellow seems like a pain in the ass to get a run going in
