26:28 in OoT by Zfg, with what he guesses are about 3 minutes that can immediately be shaved off simply through better playing, let alone what new strategies could shave off. Will we see a sub-20 run by next week? Edit: down to 25:48 now. Edit: 23:29. And we now enter the phase where every 5 second mistake is a reset. take_it_slow fucked around with this message at Apr 14, 2012 around 21:26 |

ZFG1 just beat his OOT any% record again, with a whopping 26:27, and there's still room for improvement!

next marathon Cosmo needs to do his usual wonderful MST run but then also do a 20 minute run because that just sounds hilarious. His OoT run gets so many people that don't really follow speedrunning at all to watch that are amazed by any sequence break (not just in how flawlessly he performs, but just that it's even a thing in the game at all) that I would love to see some minds shatter.

It goes without saying that someone will do an any% run next marathon. The funny thing is that everyone expected the huge thing to be Ganonless strategy with pedo Link. Now Ganon is back in.

I'd almost prefer them to make some big pomp and circumstance about an MST run but when it rolls up just have him quietly do the new any% instead.

Have him do both in a row because as great as a fakeout would be, OoT raises massive amounts of money.

Have a race: 1 MST versus 3 Ganonless versus 6 any%.

So ZFG wrapped up tonight with a really sad freeze. I guess having boulders drop on you in the castle as a kid sometimes freezes the game. Still, he got 25:48 and that was with a few glaring mistakes. Pretty cool.

I really really want Cosmo or ZFG to personally demonstrate just how badly OoT has been broken to Miyamoto and Aonuma. I'd love to know their thoughts on it.

Honestly I bet they'd just be happy people are still finding new things in their game after all this time.

I like to think that one of those big 10k+ donations during the Speedrunning marathons is from one of them.

I remember there being a game developer donating during the Metroid Prime speedrun in last year's marathon. I think he commented with something like, "That's not how the game is supposed to be played  ."

Having your game still hold together in spite of sequence breaks is something to be proud of I think.

His message was something more along the lines of "Oh wow people still know about and play this game." The best part was that he one the big bundle of Sonic comics.

They wouldn't understand it and I can just imagine them laughing because they know that's not supposed to happen, but wouldn't understand since neither are programmers. .TakaM posted:Having your game still hold together in spite of sequence breaks is something to be proud of I think. Except in Retro's case they fixed Prime 1 several times over in various rereleases for the sole purpose of stopping sequence breaking.

Is there a community that only does speed runs without ANY exploits? Like just play the game the way it was designed as fast as possible? Most of the runs I've watched over the years exploit some bug that makes the gameplay really boring to watch.

Twin Galaxies doesn't allow glitches I believe.

The problem with "not allowing glitches or bugs" is that it's a really goddamn huge grey area.

My understanding of Twin Galaxies is they're how your parents would attempt to speed run a game. Perish the thought of exploiting game mechanics.

After Chasing Ghosts and The King of Kong I can't take Twin Galaxies seriously at all. Also there are plenty of speed runs on SDA that are glitchless simply because the game doesn't have glitches to exploit for time.

Glitches can be fun as hell, too. I love creative sequence breaking and OoB tricks. I also picked up flying from the Psychonauts speedrun and loved every second of trying it myself (pchoo)

SDA was built on speedrunning quake which would have been a million times more boring if bunny hopping didn't exist.

He taught him the Gohma fight double KO, and now they're doing the movement into the edge of the warp and using Ocarina Items to play a bottle like an ocarina.

But you can't get the final blow on Ganon if you use the Biggoron's Sword, so how in the gently caress is he pulling it off with the Deku Sword? I can't even wrap my mind around this crazy poo poo.

I can't even wrap my mind around this crazy poo poo. For whatever reason, even as Child Link, when you pick up the Master Sword after the first round, you receive and equip the Master Sword. So despite the fact that Child Link's model is using the Kokiri Sword, Link himself is actually using the Master Sword.

I'm looking for speedruns where they absolutely break the poo poo out of the game. Stuff like the Super Mario Brothers Game Boy speed-run I watched a while back where the guy literally fell into the games code.
