TAS timing is from power on, and he clearly has the game on before he starts his timer.

I got a new PB/WR in Ultionus earlier :D

https://www.speedrun.com/Ultionus_A_Tale_of_Petty_Revenge/run/zxv5p3ky

That was fun. I just wish I didn't suck so much at the final stage. I'm absolutely awful at shmups and it is a shmup stage that I have to play well in or else I lose tons of time due to it being an autoscroller. On top of that, your ship only ever has a max of 3 HP regardless of whether you get HP upgrades or not during the game, and the ship fires as fast as you can mash the button so if my knuckles or fingers start hurting then I'm hosed :\ Kinda wish I could just find a way to make that stage easier because as it stands, that stage is now the biggest problem. I was doing some attempts earlier and I went into that stage at like 15~ minutes and ended up dying so much that I went over 20 minutes.

The weirdest thing I learned from this TAS is that Ooccoo is called 'aunt' in the German version.

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Hilarious that his portrayal as a heel in the King of Kong was 100% accurate and not exaggerated whatsoever.

i think last time king of kong was posted in this thread maybe it was mentioned that they played up how much of a douche he was, but i guess he really is a cheating douche and the reason he had people break into a garage without permission to inspect some poor math teacher's arcade cabinet was because he was a cheating piece of garbage himself

i mean apollo legend sucks for reasons, but it's hard to deny that his videos have at the very least had a significant influence on mitchell and even rodgers getting shitcanned, and even though i dislike the guy for his lovely opinions i hope he wins because it'd set a real bad precedent if he didn't.

I once met Billy at a con, when I greeted him and extended my hand, he looked at my hand real judge-y and then gave me the most limp handshake ever. He asked me if I wanted an autograph and I said no. I think he was charging for signing stuff. That's my Billy Mitchell story

Been speedrunning for a little while now, never thought I would but I really like the game Tokyo 42, and there were a couple of easy glitches I knew. Looked it up and 1: No one was currently running it, and 2: the only person who had run it had some big problems and didn't use the glitches. So... I proceeded to start playing and have not looked back...

If anyone is interested here is my current best time. I don't talk during it though (TV on in the background) so if you want some commentary on what I do here is my SGDQ Submission video.

Banana jumps are like 95% of the reason I decided to run the game. Random joke item that was not intended (at least I don't think this was intended) to do anything ends up interacting with another item weirdly, letting you fly. I literally just found another way of doing the teleporter glitch last night also, which lets me use it on the Protocol 42 mission (where I basically run and fly for like a minute+ after a cut scene). Only problem is I'm pretty sure there is only a frame or two i can do it on... so i practiced it for like 1.5 hours last night and still only get it like one in 4 times. luckly messing it up does not waste to much time so i can keep trying...

I managed to softlock right after beating the final boss in Ultionus. It was a good run too. I'm the only person running the game right now and I moderate the community for it (ie just me) so I think I'll approve it anyway since I did complete everything that would normally end up in a final run, it's just that a bullet from the final boss killed me after I killed the final boss and the boss was despawning, so when I respawned, I was softlocked into an infinitely scrolling screen where the final boss won't show up because he's dead. Normally the time ends right as soon as you kill the final boss so I think I'm just gonna count this as a finished run even though it softlocked after the boss rather than going to credits.


Hell of a way to end a run at least. And plenty of places to save time, too.

mitchflowerpower's been going hard the past few weeks on Mario 3 warpless, and finally execution and RNG both lined up for him in the same run.

https://youtu.be/uEWtFRZcY84

It's one of those bittersweet world records where he was on pace to smash the previous record by an insane amount, but ended up squeeking by just under the wire.

That sucks, I hate when that happens. My world record for Tokyo 42 (again I'm the only one that runs it) was up by 3 minutes over my previous best time before I lost 1 minute to RNG and another to me messing up...

Ugh... was 2 minutes up on my WR for Tokyo 42 going into the final 2 missions today (close to what I believe is the human limit for the run without pulling off two very hard very risky tricks that save maybe 40 seconds combined but can easily lose you way more or finding some new glitches) only to completely blow it... Was pretty crushing.

I PB'ed Normal NG+ in Star Fox 2 while waiting for setup on a Mystery Seed LttP Randomizer 2v2 race because of course I did. During setup for another game is the best way to PB.

Still a minute behind WR but Normal is such a dumb category ugghhh.
