Re: The Speedrunning Thread

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.)

Re: The Speedrunning Thread

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

Re: The Speedrunning Thread

Not gonna lie I found the Quake run to be underwhelming...coolkid is really skilled at the game but I don't like how he was making quicksaves before hard tricks and restarting when he failed them. It's like watching people play on emulators ffs . Big part of speedruns is use of back-up strats and it's disappointing to see runners unable to finish a level when they mess a trick up.

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.

Re: The Speedrunning Thread

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

Re: The Speedrunning Thread

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 >_>

Re: The Speedrunning Thread

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

Re: The Speedrunning Thread

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.
