So Congratsio stopped being a thing, apparently due to some sort of ~Speedrunning Drama~. I hope SRL gets their leaderboards out soon because right now there's nothing for leaderboards.

he also had a couple of deaths, so the run is improvable by a decent amount as well

God damnit I went to sleep right at the beginning of this. Oh well, congrats to him!

Managed to get a 2:45:57 in Secret of Mana. The game got super broken last weekend and the run is like 20 minutes shorter now. You skip every palace after Flammie and go straight to fighting the bosses in the Grand Palace.

Is sub 2:30 possible? How much time realistically can you save on your 2:45:57?

If I can add a suggestion, I think having the clips be less focused on the super popular games and more on the lesser known ones (like having the level up part of secret of evermore for example) would get people to see those clips and think "wow that looks cool, who runs that?" and get them interested in some games they never would have seen otherwise. I know there's a lot of games that no one ever checks out with interesting glitches (like Glover for example :cool:), and while having obvious stuff like BLJs and DoT skip are cool looking, I don't think there should be too many clips from popular games (how long is this intro going to be anyway?), at least not a majority.

Studio posted:

I was watching your run, the game looks really... "fun" to speedrun.

Hahaha, there's so many stupid glitches and tricks in this game that putting everything together in a run is really hard (plus there's some strats I don't do I guess), and a deathless run would probably be world record just because of that.

http://www.twitch.tv/heeheex2/c/2287267 here's a highlight of the run.

If you're wondering what im doing when i go up and down on the ball really fast it's just mashing L on the n64 controller while holding a direction. Using the D-pad on water is faster than using the analog stick. C-upping when hitting a switch skips the cutscene the switch activates. There's some other level specific tricks but we're trying to make a glover rta wiki (haha) so if you want to know about any of the tricks just ask.

http://www.twitch.tv/crankeey got the new Glover WR today, 38:36. This game is becoming ridiculously optimized.

New strats (That I found :v:) include the bounce at the start of prehistoric 2 and the bounce at the start of space 3. He should have a highlight / youtube video of the run up sometime tomorrow.

I loving finally got the Glover WR. 38:33, 3 seconds faster than the previous wr. Whatever, I'm done with RTAing this game, there's so much stupid poo poo in it that it's just boring when you aren't getting good times.

http://www.twitch.tv/heeheex2/c/2337274 here's a highlight of it. I died a lot in Fear, so I think a 36/35 is the fastest possible time. Those first 3 splits are loving gorgeous though, and are the main reason why I don't want to do any more attempts.

heehee
Sep 5, 2012

I got the Glover WR again, and am completely done forever probably. I lost about 1:20 on the last split, and about 1:40 everywhere else (notable pirates where i lost like 50 seconds) but I dont care, I just want to be done with this game.

http://www.twitch.tv/heeheex2/c/2351508 Here's the highlight.

Also, is a list of vods for the mega marathon up yet? I'd like a link.

The only other person who could get the WR (Crankeey) said he was done with the category, so until voodle or stri get a lot better at the game this is gonna stay the wr.

This is why I love speedrunning right here. You just boost faster than the game wants and the camera can't keep up and then you kind of moon jump until you can clip through the level geometry straight to the goal.

Speedrunning glover is really "cool" because it's the only game on n64 that uses all the buttons on the controller to speedrun. You have to mash L to go fast, and use D-pad in water because it's faster. So once you get used to controlling the game and switching your hands over from right side to left side and dpad to analog stick, the game gets really easy (minus the stupid bullshit that the game has but there's nothing you can do about that)

yaoi prophet posted:

Wait, the D-pad is faster than the stick? What?

Yep. Technically the dpad is faster everywhere (or at least we're pretty sure; on feet it definitely is and when standing on the ball) but only having 8 directions makes it so using just the dpad is a lot slower. There's only really two levels where you're on water for long enough to use it luckily, but it's still a dumb mechanic.

The only button display I've seen that works from an actual controller and console was custom made for Siglemic I think. I don't know that they're mass produced and available.

Yea, why not just have Cosmo run games for the entire marathon! I'm sure that would be the smartest thing to do and not have the marathon not be a popularity contest!


Werster had a good idea, of WW being a donation incentive ($1 000 000) at the very end. A 5 hour game with barely any changes should be what's looked at, not the runner.
