Crain posted:So even thought the question of "What should I watch" isn't really something you can answer for everyone, there are some stand out runs that have regularly been amazing to watch. you seem to have made a mistake because Ed edd n Eddy and Super Amazing Wagon Adventure are actually cool and fun games and not Awful. That sounds like I'm memeing but I'm really not they're actually both pretty fun.

I mean, the dude didn't know what he was sniping which is kinda tragic and perversely hilarious but the fact it was for a lameass twitch emote is so boring like if he would've just sniped with something crude at least it would've been funny

i'm kinda worried about bad commentary for freedom planet because while the run is excellent, I know Fladervy pretty well and dude doesn't speak great English and is really loving shy. I'm hoping his co-comm and the special guest (which you probably know about already if you follow my twitter but i'm gonna be coy for fun) can carry the run for him. ganbatte fladervy

Azazell0 posted:It shouldn't be a problem if the couch and the runner talk about this beforehand and say, okay, you can focus on playing if you want, we'll handle the talking. I have no idea how well they hashed that out in advance, since I know who the co-comm is and bluntly he doesn't really know a whole lot about Milla%. Maybe he swots up before the run, or gets notes or some poo poo but I dunno, I'm concerned. Would break my heart to have done a fair amount of liaising stuff to organise some poo poo for the run only it for to then be met with a "meh" reaction. i'm more concerned about this than I should be, really but still I want this to go well for all of us in FP speedrunning.

Lessail posted:How many "frame perfect"/"one frame trick" are actually so? I've always taken it as hyperbole for difficult to do. More than you'd think but the trick with that statement is that there's usually ways to buffer it or the game runs at a low framerate or something.

Minrad posted:"which runs are good" and "which vods do I watch" are pretty much the most common questions for the thread, for the next two weeks I guess, but my point was more that the only really useful criteria for whether or not you'd like it is pretty much "are you interested in the game?". Everything else is subject to that. like this thread really liked the DK race and I just found it boring because I don't find the game very engaging or interesting as a run so I wouldn't recommend it much and if there's a real knockout of a run that you'd never expect like Tetris was a couple of GDQs back, people usually just recommend it on its own. a rating thing seems a bit dumb since it comes down to one's own personal taste in video games a lot like right now I am kinda snoozing through the metroid prime run as well, not because it's necessarily bad but because I just don't find the game interesting to watch

Pakled posted:Personally speaking, there are plenty of runs of games I've never played or would be all that interested in playing that I ended up enjoying based on recommendations from the thread. For instance, last AGDQ's Animorphs. Animorphs is the sort of run I would define as knockout good and would have people talking about it anyway. Since that was a run so good it made me actually learn the speedrun myself (it's painful don't) anyway my point is that you really only need to state the really good runs or the really bad runs, everything else in the middle is kinda really subject to individual taste in video games

dogmother1776 posted:Are the blocks random? Sage Grimm posted:Yes. And deviously so later on! Nah. There are certain patterns the game can drop and the game will choose between those sets of patterns to drop on the level. It's not totally random at all. Obelisk has literally random blocks though as you will soon see, which can in fact be some bullshit.

ElegantFugue posted:... Well huh. Maybe Freedom Planet isn't a Sonic fangame so much as a Sparkster fangame? At least, in Lilac mode. Health bar, super meter, wall-bounce air dash, anachronistic high tech + old world setting... It's not a fangame of either. though it is clearly taking its cues more from Rocket Knight than Sonic, yes.

MisterBibs posted:Man, this is disappointing to hear. I've got no problems with runners using glitches to speedrun in principle, but knowing that they are using janky earlier versions because they have the least patches is kinda lovely. It's like "speedrunning" Morrowind under the basis of using the Robe of St Roris's before its health-restoration effect was constantly on in the first version. the goal is to go fast Thing about this, right, is that speedrunning is just not big enough to sustain a game's community being split across multiple patch versions (usually) and the object of speedrunning is to go quickly so it usually just makes sense to standardize to one version of the game. Because SPEEDrunning, this ends up being the fastest version more often than not. also glitches are fun how can one hate on that

drunken officeparty posted:its not big enough to sustain that but big enough that people out there dedicate many hours of their lives to an ed edd and eddy game from 2004 I actually have a run of that game on that leaderboard. It's like, maybe a small handful of people who really put the work into it. I'm not really one of them. Point is, speedgame communities should all be considered individually, and most individual games don't have very many people to them.

I want to see them fly at lightspeed through the levels and Milla is kind of a slower character Milla's faster by several minutes?????? seriously I actually submitted a lilac run this GDQ and it didn't get in and there's a reason for that watch that run and observe proper Milla technique because that character is nothing approaching slower. She is the fastest character in the game bar none.

Macaluso posted:Is she? Her stages just felt slower because of the mechanics. I'll definitely watch the speedrun. She is the only character who can hit the speed cap basically on command due to how the recoil from her main method of attack works. It's basically 2d Quake, rocket jumps for daaaaays. also her skips are loving absurd and numerous because she's not programmed correctly

Macaluso posted:It sounds like the devs of the game are doing what the Ori and the Blind Forest devs did as far as speedrunners are concerned where they only change exploits if it really breaks the game which is cool. Strife actually patched a skip in for us, because we found a thing that really broke the game's timing method so we asked him to fix the timing method and not the skip. He did. Strife is a cool dude and was really friendly to me in my attempts to organise dev commentary for this run. He's pretty nice.
