The Speedrunning Thread

holy fuck, all the practice and routing for the individual homeworlds really paid off (even won the race despite resetting a bit due to stream issues)

Well that's a way to throw a good run out the window.

I should probably update:

I am learning Rayman 3 right now.
I speedrun paint now (ikr)
I tend to do random flash games for speedrun funsies

...paint?

Want to keep practicing SMB any% but it's just too much now. Whenever I get to C.H.A.D, my frame rate is terrible and some of the jumps don't even register. Selecting levels and just overall playing the frame rate is lower than it should be and I'm probably losing like +1 minute or more a run because of how slow my game runs. Anyone have any tips on making a game run faster?

Hello, and welcome to How to Rescue an Urn 101.

[igotrhythm]

IMO that looks like more of an urn than the final time indicates. All that time you made up in the endgame, goddamn.

[Stelcoboy]

probably my favorite speedrun TAS is the half life one that is beaten in 20 minutes

[Stelcoboy]

speaking of speedruns; i'm attempting to speedrun cry of fear, beat it in about 1 hour and 50 or less minutes :^0

there's 2 exploits that can be used hand-in-hand for the mod that allows you to get to various places quickly, but drains large amounts of stamina :^|

[igotrhythm]

I'm gonna be the first one to say it.

Using a mod for a PC game sounds dangerously like a TAS, or at least puts the run into a gray area. It's not unassisted because the game has been altered. It's not tool-assisted because tools aren't used to slow the game down or anything like that...so what is it?

if it's a harmless mod that doesn't affect the game who cares. i speedrun cave story and i modded it so that it ran in the background instead of automatically pausing while unfocused. also in cave story cutscenes don't replay if you started and have died, and a jp speedrunner modded it so that they actually would replay to avoid having to close the exe just to reset. perfectly fine IMO.

But maybe you mean something completely different idk.

Started practicing scv4 and that game is hard.

when i meant mod, i meant that cry of fear is a standalone mod of half life :^0

i was planning on playing the game normally, except using 2 exploits with the engine in said mod

[AlexDest]

Pretty nice PB, getting closer to sub 1 (currently 6th place on leaderboards).

Oh, well, if you're going to abuse physics glitches, that's totally fine. There does happen to be a non-TAS 0-star run of SM64 out there, after all. XD

Holy shit I love that game. Such an amazing survival/horror game.

[AlexDest]

Had a nice all-green run in Spyro 3 for 100 eggs .
