Speedruns thread

[Flintlock]

Cool, but it's not really a speed run, let alone a live one.

 

[X-SOLDIER]

Haha, yes, I'd meant to mention that it isn't a speed run, but it IS live in that it's not a TAS run (which mostly what this thread exists from the other for).

SGDQ2017 starts July 2nd. FFVII is scheduled for around 4.22AM (UTC+1) on July 8th.

 

[Flintlock]

There's a really awesome block where they're doing a Mario series relay, Super Metroid and FFVII basically back-to-back. I'll have to stay up for it.

Val JP's been doing runs of Super Warp World, and keeps breaking the World Record. He's determined to get a sub 30 min run, which I'm sure he'll manage since he hasn't quite managed a deathless run yet. I'm subbed to his channel, so it's cool seeing every time there's a new upload of it coming faster.

Additionally, GrandPOObear's been speed running Super Dram World 2, and is getting closer to a deathless run as well, but is still breaking world records along the way: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/174121346

FF AND STUFF

 

[Fangu]

Also for several of you it would be interesting to know that when FFVII is finished in a couple of hours, FF Tactics is the next game

Gigglesnort, it's still going.



Go to Twitch and say hi

The Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy Speedruns are fucking mind-destroying.

[Cthulhu]

The fuck is that game

^ Ahyup. Okay I thought it was kinda funny watching sk84uhlivin speedrunning Barbie games, but what even is that game, just what

 

[Ghost X]

Game of the year, that's what it is.

 

[X-SOLDIER]

Yeah, it's a physics based game where you climb things, and despite how speedrunners make it seem, it is INCREDIBLY difficult, and full of dry humour and comments and such. I can't get enough of watching people of all skill levels play it.

Mayhaps I'll make a thread just full of people giving it a go.

This nutter has attempted to speedrun Final Fantasy VII, VIII and IX all at the same time? And he's gonna do it again.

 

[Flintlock]

Something went wrong with your link, but I guess it was this.

I've watched some of Elbod's runs before. I've even thought it would cool to play the games like that, but I'd never be able to speedrun them.

Some dude (who is apparently well-known in at least Tetris circles) aims for one Tetris speed record and fails, but then realises he broke another record unintentionally.

 

[Cthulhu]

What record though? Fastest 300K?

 

[Fangu]

Yep

AGDQ 2018 starts on Sunday: schedule. This year's Final Fantasy game is IV, which is a good game for speedruns, but it's been done before. They seem to really like running I, IV and VI.
