Did sm64 runners ever go back to doing raw cannonless? It's a few seconds slower to do the setup instead of winging it.

I know runs have had backup saves prepared before at GDQs, I don't know if I've ever seen one that was actually used though.

Any good recommendations for entertaining speedruns of games that were never really intended to be played quickly, or that have some crazy sequence-breaking flaw that makes them an unlikely favorite of streamers?

Verranicus posted:

Suggestions on speedruns for longer games with entertaining but not overbearing runners? Looking for stuff to put on in the background while I work, so the more suggestions the better.

EDIT: Should say Youtube or Twitch are fine, so lay them on me.

Plus the 7-hour FFVI run is back baby, time for BLUNDERSHOT.

What is 100% anyway? Just all chars / all espers?

I hope it's not like "all rages" too or something that would take forever.

This run is aiming for the fastest completion of the game by recruiting all 14 permanent playable characters and having all 26 Espers in your inventory at the end of the game, without using any of the tricks below.

Setzer Slots RNG manipulation/Joker Doom
Giving Vanish status to enemies (Vanish-Doom)
NPC clipping/Event tile skipping (skipping 1st half of Locke's scenario and Kefka's Tower minibosses)
Relm Sketch Glitch
Infinite Terra Morph
Cyan Retort Glitch ("Psycho Cyan")
Nightshade Rage / Inflicting Charm status
Equip Anything (Japanese version only)
Game Over Overflow

Keep in mind we only learned about two brand new glitches in A Link to the Past, also!

my pal and his husband are co-opping free enterprise this evening for puwp, it's a great format and a lot of fun, y'all should check it out if "ff4 rando" doesn't make your eyes roll up into your skull (i hope it doesn't, it's a great rando)

Will do, they changed restreamers right at the start so it'll be easy to find. They are cute as gently caress.

e: Or they could cut it immediately after they finished, nice job. These two were a great pick, the vibe they have together is so nice.

Kestral posted:

Which is The FFVII run? I've always meant to watch someone run that game, and if there's a run famous enough to get italicized, that seems like the go-to.

FirstAidKite posted:

I think it'd be interesting if they ran a second game (not as a separate stream but as something they'd be checking on occasionally throughout the week) of a Baten Kaitos 100% run but that's just out of morbid curiosity more than anything.

Jabor posted:

It's an MMO with a player economy. The player economy is starting from zero, and you only get one chance to do a speedrun in that context.

If you come along a month later, when other players are running around farming endgame gear, throwing around a ton of gold on the auction house, etc., that's a very different context and a very different speedrun.

yes but if someone is banned from twitch chat their messages do not appear on chat replay so it'd have to be someone screencapping the chat or something along those lines

made a bunch of homophobic comments and then when KevinDDR called him out on it he asked his discord to all report the clip for slander to try and get him banned

What category of speedrunning (if it even IS "speedrunning") do i search for if i want to see skilled players play through games at a quick/effective pace but not use tons of glitches or out of bounds or such?
Particularly FPS games.
Im not really looking for a lets-play with a streamer with a face cam interacting with his viewers a lot but more what it would look like if John Wick played through Half Life 2.

I love these videos. They're so goofy and surprisingly on the nose with the speedrun strats. See Samus arm-pumping the whole goddamn time through this video.

I, too, hate funny things!

Apparently the Big 20 event will be this upcoming saturday. Can anyone confirm what time is it gonna start? This schedule page gives me "September 12th, 2020 8:00pm GMT+03:00" but some other pages give me 5 PM EST which is obviously in the middle of sat-sun night for me.

I feel like I just wasted 3 minutes of my life to read about someone being mildly passive aggressive and how it's an irredeemable sin.

On that subject, I recently watched NESCardinality's Dragon Warrior run from a couple AGDQs ago where he explains the crazy RNG manipulation he does while he's doing the run and it ruled. Anyone know of any other runs like that? I'm especially into ones where the runner or a commentator explains what's going on because I find that poo poo fascinating.

DEEP STATE PLOT posted:

spike did say wonder stands a good chance of being a final-day bonus game, and maybe that makes more sense; put a brand new game that everyone seems very happy with as a surprise bonus for the last day.
