Speedrunning |OT| Gotta Go Relatively Quickly
- Thread starter NecroTechno
- Start date
Anyone know what the blackout thing is that occurs at 0:12? Probably will see some WhiteGoose analysis of it soon anyway :)
Ah, makes sense. Watched it on mute so probably missed the audio cue.
Also, gotta say, this OT would probably receive more attention in the non-Hangouts section. Can't remember if it began here or not.
I finally got my ass in gear to speedrun after years of seeing videos on them. I played Maken X casually for a while and after seeing the wr for it skipping the worst level, I got motivated
Nice. The Dreamcast version, right? Outside of the Sonic Adventure games I rarely see much coverage of Dreamcast speedruns, should probably check out more of them.
Yup. I just got sub 1h with a record of 57:24 today. The differences between the US version and the JP version is staggering also in which the US version is way harder and more prone to dying, but imma try and beat the 2nd place record on my US copy to make it more challenging
I checked out the insane people who run some Shenmue 1 any %. I couldn't imagine trying to route something like that and still have it be 7 hours. That seems like torture.

I didn't realize we had a Speedrunning OT
I've been playing/running Dragon Quest Heroes 2 a ton recently. I've never speedrun a game before this, and there's like no speedrunning community at all for this title, but it's been pretty fun and satisfying regardless.
I've always really enjoyed replaying and 'mastering' games so nothing's really changed on that front, but being able to complete a game I love in a practical amount of time is genuinely great. DQH2 is a pretty long game, and is supposed to be around 30 hours long (according to Howlongtobeat), but I've been able to cut that down to under 10 hours, which is way more practical for me (I can get away with two hours a weekday to get through the campaign)
So far I've done only a practice run and two 'serious' attempts. I have the runs "uploaded" (using the PS4 share function) with my current / most recent run being 08:44. Previous runs were 09:34 (old PB) and 11:37 (initial practice run)

I'll try to catch this one. Also Cuphead seems like it'll be a fun one to watch.
Broke world record for Maken X a while ago and set off to improve it to down to 48:40so far which was over a minute the previous person's WR. Optimizing and improving their strats feels great, and hopefully I can improve it to sub 48 minutes and even more with good RNG. Being the only person running it since previous WR's Dreamcast broke down kinda sucks, but I don't feel as anxious while running it anymore.
Sorry for the double post, but GDQ released the SGDQ2017 panels yesterday. The commentary panel really helped eventually trying to commentate my runs.
legit sub 4 san andreas any% is about to happen I know it, watching this dude play SA is impressive as fuck:

Managed to beat my previous best run of DQH2 today. The new run was 7 hours and 59 minutes (pic here, you can see the old PB on save number 1). It was supposed to just be a warm up for me (since I'd taken a break from the game), and it was also a test run for a new party I'd been theorycrafting, so I was surprised that it ended up beating my old, optimized run. It's gonna take some time to upload all the footage, but the main difference between the old and new run is just pure damage output (the new team I ran can just steamroll certain sections of the game)
EDIT: Finally got around to uploading the aforementioned run, here. I also have a newer, recent personal best here which is about 12 minutes faster

Finally reached my long term goal of sub 48 minutes for Maken X and decided to submit it in for online marathons to showcase my runs. Already did one for Blast the Process, a sega oriented marathon, but I'm not sure if I'll ever stop getting anxious about submitting and doing marathon runs.
Congrats! Balancing live speedruns and commentary must be challenging. Not sure how I'd fare but you sound pretty good.

That's sick! Congratulations :) I don't have any advice for the marathon nerves, but I'm sure you'll be great!
Thanks for the encouragements guys ;~;
Right now, I submitted Maken X and another game to RPG Blitz that the RPG Limitbreak people are hosting, but I dunno if its RPG enough for it. I wish I had money to travel to the main RPG Limitbreak event, but maybe some time in the future that.
managed to get my first completion of Uncharted 1 any% on PS3. this game is pretty messy, there's 2 chapters that could kill the run, Chapter 13 to 15 chapter, and Chapter 17 if i don't pause buffers in the correct spot in the Zombie chase. here the run.
Looks like sig's streaming Mario 64 again? Don't recall the last time he's had it on
