Those are the best world records.

I had a moment like that where someone mentioned speedrunning fighting games in a stream once, so I got curious and checked my favourite one. There were two people who had run the game, both in different categories, and when I watched the record run for the easiest difficulty it was TERRIBLE, just the dude hitting one button over and over and it working most of the time. So, I loaded up the game and did a quick attempt. My first try was just me playing as though I were playing somebody online, and it was 9 minutes better than the 24-minute world record, so I submitted it.

And that's how I became the fastest King of Fighters XIII player.

Don't speedrun fighting games it's horrible.

Is there a list of the future GPB Speedrun Sessions announced somewhere? Or does he just keep adding a new destination after the current one finishes up?

...Actually, come to think about it, is there a good source for announced live speedrun marathons in general? I kind of want to attend speedrunning in person and see what it's like live, but the ones I know about are the really big ones like GDQ or RPGLB, which are off the table due to some combination of travel distance/expense/size/difficulty in buying tickets/etc. If there was a shorter one within reasonable driving distance that I could make a weekend of, I'd probably be able to swing that if I knew about it a few months in advance.

As far as a good resource... Nope not really. Browsing the marathons section of speedrun.com maybe?

I don't know if there's advance info in his discord about them but I haven't seen anything posted too far out on his Twitter which I imagine is gonna be just as up to date

yeah it's a total crapshoot.

a few groups I personally know of doing weekend events include:

No Reset. Based out of Quebec, they partnered with dreamhack to have speedruns at their North American events as well as doing other things locally.
http://www.noresetspeed.run/

Speedruns Rochester, who are based out of Rochester New York and put on a few events throughout the year in that area.
https://twitter.com/SpeedrunROC

Calithon. Easily the biggest of the ones I'd recommend for a "smaller" experience https://twitter.com/CalithonSR

Games Finished Adequately, the culmination of a years long joke about Canadians is a Toronto group https://twitter.com/gamesfinished

My own group hosts live events at 2 conventions annually out of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Midwest Speedfest at 2Dcon in August and MidWinter SpeedSprinter at VGMcon in March

Some of the people I play against would probably give you some competition for that record.

Edit because I remembered something funny: For the submission description I wrote "I put zero thought into optimization beyond "I like these characters," and just played it like I would against a person." I did not realize that the only person who could verify runs was the guy I beat by nine minutes (which was obvious in retrospect), and it makes me laugh that he had the record for years and then someone beat it by a huge margin and wrote "I wasn't really trying at all."

When and where do you guys usually post your events for submissions? I live in the twin cities and run a few games and would be interested in applying sometime.

GPB can't announce the next location until umpteen behind the scenes folks tell him he can. They have Plans, and know the next several events, but can't announce them before they can announce them etc. He tries to make sure he can have local runners in the events etc too, so that's probably some of it.

I don't even get inside info as his head mod. Capitalism is dumb.

Yeah I literally found out about it today and I'm glad I don't have any plans for Friday evening. I can't imagine the speedrun community in Hawaii is super big even if this was well-promoted in advance, so maybe I'll get to shoot the poo poo with him and the other runners.
