Speedrun of a game is 3+ hours

>Or tricks
Everything is a fucking trick
Show speedrun

At first it's pretty reasonable. Canceling out a fall damage sequence with another move is very common in 3d platformers.
But then he starts really pushing it.

isn't that just a longplay?

Why do people like speedruns? Shits boring as fuck to do.

I wish single level runs were more popular. It's way more fun trying to improve a small segment, and I can't imagine trying to do everything perfectly for hours on end.

>speedrun of an obscure game is made by some random dude and despite being only 15 seconds away from the half hour mark and having a major choke on one of the puzzles they never attempt to go for the sub 30
Lust for darkness was shit so I wish at least something interesting could have come from it.

It's interesting to learn how the game works mechanically at the core level, however very few speedrunners showcase those aspects.

It's a near-endless collection of World Records that rely on being good at video games. I imagine that's something that entices people.

play N++

the alternative with IL runs is to reset for hours on end until you get the perfect opening, and then reset anyways because you only practiced those first five seconds. 15-30 minute runs are the sweet spot imo.

>think its just a joke
>realize the glitchless category has so much arbitrary ruling that its actually that retarded
holy shit
oot-speedruns.fandom.com/wiki/Glitchless#Category_Ruleset

I agree with this reaction

They did that run specifically to mock the glitchless category, it’s scripted.

Some of those allowed techniques really sound like glitches to me.

Something risky that can make you fuck up hard, or just make you lose time
Example youtu.be/GY0HnqnYMO8?t=256

>allowed
>Rolling from the blue switch in Jabu Jabu's Belly to open the door without holding down the switch
>banned
>Touching misplaced or accidentally exposed loading zones (e.g. Early Jabu or Trials Skip)

this is retarded

>speedrun is 340 hours long

>For example, Power Crouch Stabbing is allowed despite it obviously being a glitch simply because it would be silly and infeasble to ban it
But as far as I can tell power crouch stabbing is just a way to deal damage faster, why the fuck would it be infeasble to ban it.

>speedrun is just the player clipping through everything
>game is actually barely played, it's all just wall clip then go to trigger point

The second one is in the banned list.

Are there any WRs that actually last over 100 hours?

Just evidence of how arbitrary it all is.
People are going to have their own views. And it's going to make the whole thing meaningless to at least some amount of people.
It's why early speedrunning didn't bother touching glitchless, they knew that shit would come up. Just, full-glitch any% speedruns largely suck ass, so the culture had to go somewhere else eventually.

...okay? Elaborate.

Read that post again.

They were pretending It was sarcasm but yes its retarded

Because its really really easy to do it by accident.
If a player ever did a crouch stab after a jumpslash the run would be invalid if such a rule existed.
So instead they just don't ban it.
It's really arbitrary, but there's a purpose to the arbitrariness.

Baten Kaitos.
It's real long if you want 100%.

HURRR NO GLITCHES REEEEEEEEE autism is always infuriating but that's fucking hilarious

>why do people want replay value
>why do people go for high scores
>why do people do time trials
>why do people do anything competitive

I suppose that makes sense.

This but unironically. The "replay value" meme is the worst of all, since it tries to attribute that quality to a select list of features, like score counters or randomized levels, instead of recognizing the simple truth, that good games are always replayable because of the quality of the overall experience.

Holy shit, I thought was a joke.

>TAS only exploit.

I dunno.
Botw is a good game but I would never ever want to replay it.

But games that offer variation in their systems, gameplay and progression wile also being generally well-made are even better. Bloodborne and Dark Souls both offer a high-quality overall experience, but I'm going to replay Dark Souls a lot more because of the greater variation in character building and progression and superior multiplayer systems.

And I'm on my third playthrough, I think it offers tons of replay value as you can progress virtually any way you want and do whatever, whenever

Usually there's a reason for that kind of thing to be fair. How do you get berries? Are they available in the route of the run? If it takes an extra 3 minutes to go and get those berries then it's only worth doing if the amount of team heal spells being slower adds up to exceeds that.

Speedrunners can't go one fucking second without cheating. It's almost like it's a crutch or something.

Shut up you dumb retard, generally games are really well optimized and there is a specific reasoning why something is done.

what game?
I am a gigantic speedrun autist and I may be able to provide some insight

Or it's a game no one played and some retard uploaded a pretty bog standard run as a "speedrun"

The joke is that literally all those glitches are allowed in that run, moran

well then
haven't watched it yet, but I planned on it because I loved the first game. ahh well

I'm pretty sure that some autismos managed to pull TAS tricks in RTA on Mario 64.

Unless it's a game that only like 100 people have played that is highly unlikely

nah I can confirm that most games are not optimized. Chances are one guy thought
>hey this would be cool
they came up with a mediocre route, did 2 runs, decided "this isn't really that fun" and left it there.

They tend to put far more effort into passing during these events than they usually do. 0

youtube.com/watch?v=dJ3ydvIVSPE

that's the power of a cinematic experience

Sometimes they reveal really interesting mechanics and tricks. But most of the time they turn a fun game into something that's autistic and boring. It really depends on the game, but there are some good speedruns out there.

I am not /pol/, I have no problem with trannies at the event, but honestly that run is just fucking terrible. Some of the worst commentary imaginable and pretty sub-par gameplay. It's a shame because WLK hasn't been in the marathon in years so I was looking forward to the run

Holy shit that guy is fucking based

So one person by the handle of TOTOzigemm tried to theorycraft a 100% speedrun of Digimon World 3, which would include getting all the legendary items/weapons, getting all the cards, and the biggest time sink of all, getting every Digimon to max level with access to every digivolution tree available (not that even in a normal game, you probably won't unlock most of the Digimon trees, and that every Digimon can evolve through the others trees anyways). Therefore, he started out trying to do so, saying it would probably take 500 hours. Well, 232 hours in, and taking very minor breaks and not allowing himself to rest much, he had to stop and go to the hospital, and this was only after maxing out Kotemon (the other 7 digimon still needed to be maxed out). He said the run was an absolute failure since he claimed it wasn't very optimized and said he wouldn't do it again.

He then tried it again, but this time failing after 150 hours, even after now he had found some optimal strategy to get it down to 400 hours (keep in mind that he was basically at the same level of progress as his 232 hour run). He then said the run was probably just impossible and hasn't run it since. Theoretically, the run is possible with proper sleep and all, but there's no real reason to do it. The any% alone is currently at 6h 44m, and the game is slow as molasses, so it would just be a pain to run no matter what. It's at least a run that would be longer than the 300 hour Baten Kaitos 100% runs.

They're just super autistic about it and have heavily optimized the game, including being able to manipulate RNG to get Meteor Black Dragon and other cards they need. They also caught one speedrunner cheating recently by pointing out that the the card codes didn't match up with the cards he got and that it was clear that he was cheating, then when he used to cheat codes to cover it up in another run, pointed out that thanks to the duel id or something, it wouldn't be possible for him to get those cards for that particular duel.

Inklings speak a different language. woomy is like their word for rad or something.

Yes, it's a shit speed game because of that. But it's just one thing so people agree to run with it modded out. I ran a game that has a 1/8 dice roll 3 minutes in and even that shit pissed me off, imagine worse odds after an hour. No thank you

What game?

TASes are way more interesting then speedruns. It's more fun seeing games pushed to their actual limits without having to watch basedboys reset just to get imperfect runs anyway.

Some of them manage to combine jankiness with logical gameplay well enough that you can be entertained by the sheer absurdity of it.

Example: youtu.be/lk1w3hcQT7g

It's just nuts to observe

probably unrelated to the thread but
>Rougelite/like has a timer option for speedrunners

Anyone else do this?

I like to see someone speedrun Elite Dangerous...

It's incredibly useful for Spelunky so you can tell how long you have until the ghost spawns. That really should just be on the default UI.

Language differences are cancer and I'll never get over it. Thankfully for a lot of games the time save might be anywhere from a handful of seconds to maybe a minute, but shit like zelda games where playing on JP can save nearly half a fucking hour can fuck off.

And not only that but dont they play in a different console, right?

N64 games had pretty weak region locking, between NA and JP systems/carts it's literally just a differently shaped tab that keeps the wrong cartridges out.

Another one that's pretty obscure is Ratchet and Clank speedruns, which are fastest on the HD collection being played on PAL PS3s (the console, not the game) for some fucking reason.

I only like Werster.

Good, I lost interest in caleb since he started only doing RPG shit.

>*angrily answers a question from chat*

I tried watching a few Werster speedruns and I have no fucking clue how he's popular at all.

Long sequences on frame perfect imputs in speedruns are a meme.

I think back to that AGDQ pokemon gold race where one of the runners just choked on the first fucking trick for like 10 minutes because it's just a matter of doing like a minute of frame perfect imputs.

I don't understand how people can watch Witwix. Acts like a complete child.

Why should a completely separate file be included in the timing to beat the current file?

>game is a part of the universe
>the age of the universe is not added to the timer

Because the glitch was activated in that file

Because the speedrun is not possible to complete without using the seperate file

Except you can't start a run from an already-existing file outside of a few fringe cases such as ng+ runs

beat the record if you think that's too long

What does that have to do with anything? Speedruns are timed from the start of a new file to the end of the game. Are you arguing that all preparation for a speedrun should be included in the time?
That isn't timing from the start of a new file.

If preparation is an entire other file, yes.

a speed run is a speed run, you cant say its only half

>little brother plays through a new file in the game
>go to speedrun in a new file on the same cart

That seems incredibly arbitrary and not logically consistent with anything.

If you handed the speedrunner a blank cartridge they couldn't do the glitch because they need the other save.
By saying other saves don't count you may as well say copying over a half completed save to a new save slot is fair

>If you handed the speedrunner a blank cartridge they couldn't do the glitch because they need the other save.
So you don't think you should be allowed to change controls or any in game settings before starting the timer? That's pretty stupid.

I guess Super Mario Bros. needs to retime all their runs because they wait at the start screen to manipulate in game RNG before starting the timer. And all OOT runs need to retime to include the file naming screen, because the length of the name saves frames during the run. And all racing games that use unlocked vehicles need to retime to include the entire unlocking process for that vehicle.

>By saying other saves don't count you may as well say copying over a half completed save to a new save slot is fair
How would that be fair when you don't start a new file from the beginning?

This one I don't get. Half the run is just continually going to sleep over and over again.

I miss those I-spy CD rom games

Never got why you can't just save/quit and stop the timer. Then restart the timer as soon as you're back.

Is this frowned upon?

>why the fuck would it be infeasble to ban it.
Because all crouch stabs are power crouch stabs. That damage it does is based on the last attack you do no matter what. There is no default damage for it, it is always variable.

>It's why early speedrunning didn't bother touching glitchless
Early speedrunning banned glitches all the time you fucking mongoloid. In the early 00s SDA had a blanket ban on out of bounds glitches. Twin Galaxies had huge amounts of arbitrary glitch bans.

It wasn't until more recently that the speedrunning community just embraced glitches and made the rules way easier for everyone involved.

No, a longplay tries to show absolutely everything in the game, including attract screens, menus, alternative endings, hidden content, etc.

This is peak castlekino. They don't make em like they used to.

I think it really depends on the game. Half life 2's glitches are fucking retarded and game killing. But doing the ultra skips in Mario Kart 64, while glitches, are interesting to watch

>decide to watch a longplay of a game
>it has a bunch of jumpcuts midway through to skip combat to get to the plot
But why? The whole point of a longplay is to show what a casual playthrough is like. If a game is so boring that showing someone actually playing the game is too much then why even do it?

>some speedruns can be done in less than a minute
nothing theoretical about it user

I'm talking about the Super Mario 64 TAS

Not really necessary. It says it's a TAS at the very beginning of the video.
Although if he's going to post a SM64 TAS he ought to be posting one Key instead of 0 Stars. That's a way more impressive run.

Huh. Interesting.

There's a trick with wheelie scooter that if you spin into a wall while holding boost you get a huge boost of speed, which is the fastest method of basic movement in the game, but it requires precise timing and at the start of the run is basically 60 of them in a row on Nebula Belt, since tracks can be played in any order, and missing any of those wall boosts is a reset. Runners getting tired of constantly resetting runs to missing a single wall boost is what spawned the no duplicate rides category, which forces you to use a different air ride every track, so only Checker Knights uses wheelie scooter and all the other tracks get new strats

no

Sounds awful. Good to see that they came up with an answer to keep the game fun.

The current world record holder crashed several times despite playing almost flawlessly. If one can get better ped placement, it's very possible one could beat the current world record.

I really hope Odyssey 2 or whatever keeps the fantastic movement here and actually gives you things to do with it other than break the levels that clearly weren't meant for it.

Odyssey is pretty boring honestly. It's so optimized already because it's relatively easy compared to SM64 or SMS.

This is a problem, but most games that can be beaten so easily have categories without that one specific glitch that messes everything up.

It's fun to watch a game being broken in real time and seeing how you could exploit that to beat it in an unintended way.

not really

there's an "official" guide for speedruns which is absolutely uselss, and there are no major glitches or exploits to know of.

He raises a good point, why not just call it "no major glitches"

Good video to fall asleep to.

I could tell the big guy was joshing around, but I thought the runner wasn't in on it. He really does sound annoyed.
