Dr. Stab posted:And they did that for exactly enough frames to end the game at 1 health. How did they do that? Did they figure out ahead of time exactly how much damage they needed, or did they do the rest of the run and go back and edit the demos? The spreadsheet where they calculate the hp they'd have at each stage is at: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AivfAnPipM1cdEVrY2NiRVpmdVJqREQ3ZHd1TDAyc1E#gid=16

Especially when gordon is going at 400 mph and they still hit the explosion the right way.

getitoffgetitoff posted:Have you considered trying to get this to AGDQ? Only if someone else runs it.  I know you're thinking that it's an amusing run for the show but it is a three hour run where nearly two hours of it are cut scenes. It's too long for any kind of marathon block, will have even more mic problems than usual, and it's hard to do the give and take for a live broadcast when you have to shut up the room every three minutes so you can say something to the game. It's a bad fit for that kind of thing on multiple levels. Plus there's the chaos factor. Odds are that in a big room and live the breakdowns in the control will be a lot more frequent. It'll be like my preview video the whole way through. Maybe if there were some magic skips that could get the run time down to under an hour it would make sense but with no real control over the character I think it's very unlikely that any skips will be found. Though I would find it hilarious if there's frame perfect commands that you could give that would bypass sections of the game. Technically, you can theoretically break combat like that; I encountered it in my testing. But you always reappear in the same spot when combat is over with and outside of combat you don't have fine control of the character. I could go on about the strange pathing in the game (which I take advantage of a few times in the speed run and then get irritated with the rest of the time), but I don't think anyone cares enough.

It looked like you did it perfectly, but the game was just like "Hey nope!" and made you fall off on the last step? You said the step was "wobbly", but it looked exactly like all the other steps. God what a dumb game.

It looked like you did it perfectly, but the game was just like "Hey nope!" and made you fall off on the last step? You said the step was "wobbly", but it looked exactly like all the other steps. God what a dumb game. If I stepped fully onto the last red step then I'd fall off so I had to switch to the blue line (because Lifeline is a colossal rear end in a top hat of a game; there's lots of points where the puzzle design resembles something more appropriate for I Want to Be the Voice Controlled Adventure Guy than something sane). I had been timing the steps for right when she steps onto the segment in line with the other section I need to step to in order to avoid triggering the unbalanced animation which would delay me for about a second (it's why I was hopscotching all over the place in the first part of the area). What seems to have happened is that I was a moment too early with the order to step to blue; also it happened because I celebrated how well I did at the section right before I fell. That is the worst section of the game by far. I found video of someone who worked at it for an hour and a half before they got through. On my blind play through I didn't know the verbs that it wanted beyond the the colors and I had major problems navigating the steam section. In my practice set ups (which that section took the most time with) I did get to the point that I was able to do it perfectly on the first try on most attempts. Internet Friend posted:You poor bastard. I think the lever segment was my favorite moment. That was goofy but about what I expected. There was a 50/50 chance when they hit the lever that my next command would still be good and that failed. Then they decided to jump out and shoot the lever twice in a row.

Really good highlights from this year, I finally got what all that Wondershot shouting was about during Chrono Trigger, cause I missed most of the run and just caught the ending. Also that reel reminded me how good was your Deus Ex run, I've had a lot of fun watching.

Honestly though, you should skip the F-Zero GX highlights (and go watch the whole run...) But I forgot how many close races there were. edit: you did a great job UA kaschei fucked around with this message at 15:41 on Apr 14, 2014 |

So one of my favorite games is Shenmue. I beat it several times and decided last night to find a speed run to watch in bed. I didn't even know there was a bad ending so imagine my surprise when the bad ending speed run is just a missed QTE for 90 minutes till you run out of days.

I bet if the game ever gets an HD rerelease we would see more attempts. Those loading screens probably kill off a lot of interest in it.

Get hype for what will undoubtedly be the most professional marathon of all, FinnRuns! Featuring finnish speedrunners playing whatever the gently caress they happen to play, but it just so happens to contain a whole lot of Crash Bandicoot, Resident Evil, and Zelda. It's happening here http://www.twitch.tv/FinnRuns on May 2nd, 2pm GMT and will last for 48 hrs. (I'm finnish so I'm contractually obligated to post about this, OK)

Does this mean that he's figured out how to beat the game? I know that that's been a huge impediment to the speedrun.

After watching the commentary stream for HL21, I know the real trick behind ending with 1 HP: lots of rerecords. The spreadsheet began as a rough guide of how much HP they'd need, then when they knew how much they had left for the last few segments before the boss, they just rerecorded some of the jumps until they got a fast run which left exactly 1 hp. I think the last grenade boost has a fixed damage cost, so it's more the triple jump in the map before which they rerecorded. The other trick which is rarely apparent in the run is repeatedly saving to reset the cooldown on weapons. That's what lets them destroy some doors without using military hardware, and kill the final boss so fast.

You get boosted faster when you take more damage so ending with 1 is going as fast as possible. The real interesting bit was how the decided how much health to get from the door.

6 hour Paper Mario game? I love TTYD but yikes. I'm so disappointed we never managed to break it wide open. It's really dumb because if a certain trigger was like a few pixels lower you can get early ultra boots, which would knock two hours off the time.
