I just had a look at the speedrun.com leaderboards for Ducktales Remastered and if I de-rust I should be able to get top 5, think I'll give that a shot sometime soon. It's probably due to being an inactive leaderboard but I'll take it.

mandatory lesbian posted:Actually, That thread was a fanart thread with occasional speedruns derails This is probably more true than not. It was still a fine thread, though.  sincx posted:Any list of SGDQ recommendations? The SGDQ chat thread is intimidatingly long. The serious-list has a short crowd-sourced list of gems. In addition: I was also pretty fond of the Iconoclasts and Gimmick! runs. Studio's Monolith run is fun if you're down with pixel-arty roguelikes. Heinki's Deus Ex had great commentary. And Pizza Pop should be considered an honorary member of the silly games block. The Super Metroid run this year deserves a mention: Not only was it good, but it's also a funky category that's never been done at GDQ before and has some unusual strats/optimization, so it's worth a watch. (100% map completion -- you have to visit every tile in the map, but are free to skip powerups as you see fit. It means you see some stuff like Spore Spawn that's usually skipped even for 100% item runs.) e: And don't miss the Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 run.

When the schedule originally came out, I thought Doom 2016 was supposed to be a race, which I thought would be much better than a solo run, because then they couldn't afford to try the same trick 5 times, they'd have to know when to pass it up and just play the drat game.

The same list of recommendations (and additional things) is in the second post of both threads fwiw, and any time I make both threads I'll keep doing it that way. Guess I can put it here too: RUN RECOMMENDATIONS Shantae and the Pirate's Curse race by tinahacks and JTNoriMaki Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos by CovertMuffin The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D by gymnast86 Resident Evil 4 by JTB Kid Kool by Smartball - Fast, fun, good commentary. Also Brossentia. Super Smash TV co-op by brisulph and JackimusWedge Dustforce DX race by fishmcmuffins and Freshmaniac - A good and close race of a precision platformer. F.E.A.R. by Maxylobes - Wholesome and chill. Crazy skips. Good couch. Sonic 3 and Knuckles by mike89 Super Metroid by oatsngoats Super Monkey Ball 2 by Yutori The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures by Zmaster91 Super Mario 3D Land by zeldacubed1 Cuphead by TheMexicanRunner A Hat in Time race by flarebear and ConnorAce - Easy to follow indie game with really good commentary. Celeste race by TGH and yoshipro - Capping off a trio of entertaining indies. The entire silly games block by people because picking the gems out of that is impossible (from Pepsiman to Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures). Deus Ex and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided by Heinki Super Mario Bros. 3 race by mitchflowerpower and grandpoobear - For reasons that shall not be spoiled. Borderlands: the Pre-Sequel! co-op by Shockwve and Amyrlinn Bionic Commando by MURPHAGATOR! Catherine by Ghoul02 - One player, two controllers, on-the-fly routing. Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 by PJ - A run so hype it broke the donation reader's layout. Super Mario 64 race by Puncayshun and cheese05 - Fantastic race with great commentary. Wind Waker HD by Linkus7 - Commentary and execution on point. Some issues at the start and end, but great in between. Star Wars: Jedi Knight and Mysteries of the Sith by ysalamiri Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back by Indy Hob by halfcoordinated Super Mario Maker race by Carl Sagan, grandpoobear, GlitchCat7, failstream, jaku and Cliffy Super Mario Odyssey by NicroVeda ...and of course, the TAS block. Always a no-brainer, that one. Also, the SGDQ 2018 fanart archive, courtesy of the chat thread.

There's a post in the SGDQ from the wonderful Alpha Phoenix that has a bunch of VODs posted and it has the page number where our shitposting started for the corresponding run https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3861147&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=2140#post485725097 If you want to go back and look at some of the very, very dumb/wholesome/horny/comfy poo poo we posted over the course of the week. Zamujasa posted:That's a really good gangtag, dang. Makes me regret not posting in the sgdq thread. We have ESA in a few weeks, it probably won't be nearly as hype but who knows? The GDQ threads may have started something big

Hello friends, after GDQ I always have an interest in trying to speedrun (usually Star Control 2 but I end up getting distracted by there being so many games I need to play casually). I asked this in the chat thread but thought I'd come here to ask too. I've been looking into getting a SNES Classic Mini since GDQ because I realised it has a large number of games I don't own (all of them), some I've never played such as Final Fantasy VI (which I'm interested in playing after seeing the speedrun) and Earthbound which I've heard is good, and some others, and a couple that I'd like to try dabbling at speedrunning such as Super Metroid or a Link to the Past. Would a SNES classic mini be a good investment for this sort of thing, or is there a better way to play these especially if I want to try my hand at speedrunning them? Would there be any disadvantage or advantage to using one that might make it not allowed if for some reason I find myself being good at speedrunning a specific game?

I can't afford one right now but I'll definitely get one when I can  I'm quite interested in trying out some of the games, and especially trying a little speedruning for the more popular ones, I never owned a SNES and didn't play so many of the games.

It's cool to see the WR Progression Video idea branching out to more video makers and more games. Here's a couple I ran into recently from sources other than Summoning Salt: Pokemon Snap any%: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhesU1gVI-I Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door any%: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HD5EUpsZNCA This one I think was linked before but Super Mario Sunshine any%: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oudZMniib08

RoboJoe posted:Great, thank you both!

Most games aren't affected, but some are. Star Fox 2 is a victim of this as well, but since it's the only legit way to play that game it wouldn't disqualify you from running it. (run Star Fox 2 so I have motivation to pick it up again).

I was planning on playing Earhbound anything but casually (I’ve not played it before), but for the other games I’ll keep that in kind. To be honest I’m sure if I did try my hand at spedrunning I wouldn’t be very good at it. I’ll definitely try Star Fox 2 if/when I get a SNES Classic Mini! I’ve always kept this dumb idea/dream that I want to become really good at running Star Control 2 and end up running it at GDQ, but ever time I try to play it other games just distract me away.
