    Re: The Speedrunning Thread

    I think of it like LoZ speedrunning. Because it's an RNG fest, optimization is a lost cause past a certain point.

            I'll probably start with 16 and then do 70 after that

              I recently began practicing Any% and 100% runs of the indie platformer "Jables's Adventure" with a dormmate. After two days, we discovered a known death-warp glitch that effectively skips 11 minutes of the game. A wrong warp upon death brings you to an area where game assumes you have all upgrades unlocked to be there in the first place. Our hard work eventually payed off, as tonight I got teh urn with a shocking time of 2:10.58 (previous WR was 2:38 held by rocmox <- seriously, click it).



              Holy hell, there is a lot of vibrating in this game. As there appears to be a hard limit of 10 inputs/second for both firing the gun and clearing dialogue boxes, I honestly have no idea what could be done to improve this time other than blind luck.

              The 100% run of Jabbles's Adventure showcases much more content, with a run-time of about 12 minutes, including enough entertainment potential to host a livestream. My dormmate and I might even set up some friendly races on SRL. Stay tuned~

                  Improved my THPS any% run 7 seconds. I've improved retarded amounts in the last 2 days and I'm looking to shave off another 10+ seconds. Sub 5 = quit forever

                            I've always been a THPS fan so watching that was petty fun. Congrats on beating your previous WR.

                            Taking a break from SM64 and starting to work on Super Mario Bros warpless.
                            I like it a lot better than SM64 actually... Has a better feel to it. I was thinking about attempting lost worlds but I can't even complete 50% of those levels, lol.
