Man that game was good.

You can play both of them outside of the PSP now. You can buy Half-Minute Hero 1 & 2 bundled together for $10 on Steam here. And Birth By Sleep is on the PS3 in the Kingdom Hearts 2.5 release, which can generally found for $20 or so with Kingdom Hearts 2 included.

The Ecco games are notoriously hard. Sega actually insisted on making a bunch of things easier in the Japanese version. This interview for the 3D Classics re-release talks about it.

Yeah good commentary can really make runs. I like it when the guys act with a modicum of professionalism.

I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG, BROTHER!
I'm watching the Ori and the Blind Forest speedrun right now and it's kind of mesmerizing watching them completely break the game. It's also cool cause the devs are on the phone with them and are totally okay with them breaking things the way they are.

Gunstar Heroes and then Freedom Planet.

Great games and Freedom Planet is one I strongly recommend people hang around to watch because speedruns of that game are super sick.

I thought the normal rule is that time stops when you enter your last input? Why does it very between games?

the normal rule is whenever you lose control to the final cutscene or credits or whatever.

I think that's only with TAS games or something. Everything else seems to go with "whatever the first person to run this decided".

That usually IS the normal rule, but it hardly matters any as long as everyone is timing their runs the same way for a given game. There's also the Japanese to consider and their standardised timing rule tends to be "at the end of the credits".

Oh, the network slogan is true -- "watch FOX and be damned for all eternity!"

Senor Candle posted:

Because sometimes it's not obvious when the last input is entered, and you want something obvious (a visual or audio cue) to use to click the "done" button.

Take Half-Life 2, for example. Technically speaking, you can stop doing inputs once you knock out the final rotating shield on the portal generator. It's not obvious, until the animation plays, that you've actually hit it -- especially since you're constantly looking away from that to get the next ball in case you missed the shot. However, there is a predictable delay (I want to say 27 seconds or so) between the final input and the final cinematic, which starts with a convenient white flash and a visual cue. So, RTA runners will use that white flash as the "end of game" time.
