This was a guy with a ton of empty seats in a lone room playing an FF:CC run for quite a while and urgh. At least the audio-video is more than fine, the layout is legitimately more than good enough for its purpose and not all tryhard with sharp corners and contrasts. Still real uninteresting. Even if they took someone in to run my JRPG faves (Valkyria Chronicles which so many people claim is a JRPG starts soon) I'd struggle. More fun if there were co-op (players controlling characters in combat) Tales series runs in carefully practiced ways.

What does any% mean for dustforce? Is there a notion of completing the game other than beating all the levels?

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:What does any% mean for dustforce? Is there a notion of completing the game other than beating all the levels? Any% basically means you start with a save where the X-Difficults are unlocked and beat every level as quickly as possible (so it's technically a NG+ run, though that's a meaningless distinction here.) "Completing" the game from a fresh save requires SSing the main nexus levels then beating the other levels, and 100%ing the game is getting an SS rank on every level.

SeXReX posted:every time one of my speedfriends picks up Dustforce they always blueball me and do any%, then end up dropping it because you can't do dustforce without selling your soul to the devil. The game has an absurd amount of depth in the mechanics. Its a platformer that you could play more or less forever. ArfJason posted:Still feeling bad for that dude who tried to do all ss at agdq and was stuck for half an hour on yotta The number of people who have SS'ed yotta at all sits in the low 70s well over 2 years after its addition. I've managed to do this exactly once and its one of the gaming related things I'm most proud of accomplishing despite it being such a slow run. Also, I mentioned that nerphs is the new WR holder for all levels SS. This actually happened just a week ago or so, and is the first run on DX to get sub 1 hour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RA1lZiX8CnM He's also streaming practice / attempts right now: http://www.twitch.tv/stygma24

It's mainly that the Fire Emblem (gamecube?) game and most games so far aren't even visually appealing to watch. A lot of grindy and MMO-lite RPGs like Crystal Chronicles and Diablo 3 for the first day.

Pneub posted:No resets? Some dude dud the math on this once in pie's chat to figure out what the possibility of a no-reset low level run is. The number he came up with was impossibly huge, you'd win the lottery several times before you'd get a no-reset low level run. Like a one in 100 billion chance or some such insanity. Or in other words, no. By single segment I assumed you meant in one sitting, which has been done. The first one I watched was pie and sessh, it was 20 hours or something silly.

TGM isn't the only puzzgame you can speedrun http://www.twitch.tv/seckswrecks/v/5004889 In order to fight Masked Satan you need to 1CC the game and have scored 180000 points up to that point. I snuck into the fight with 180656 points, had I been using a microphone you would have heard all sorts of heavy breathing followed by an ear shattering 'gently caress YES' when I finished it off.

DACK FAYDEN posted:Isn't it not entirely random? The game, that is. Like, it might literally just be impossible from a cold boot to get all double-XP, and I seem to recall some nonsense about how the positions of the eggs might be correlated also. It is entirely random. It's essentially a 1 in 6 chance each battle, and unless I'm thinking about it wrong that'd mean each battle multiplies that chance by 6. It's not literally impossible, but it might as well be.

I didn't get to really watch Fire Emblem closely but it seemed like they were trying hard to explain everything in that one as well. And even stupid Skyrim is fun to watch because they basically pay no mind to how the game is supposed to go and abuse poo poo constantly. I guess what I'm getting at is don't be so quick to dismiss everything, there are way fewer bad runs in the schedule than you might expect.

Yeah I've enjoyed every run I've watched so far. That being said if you just straight up don't like RPG speedruns then well, yeah you probably won't enjoy watching one.

The runs are good but there is like zero effort to make people donate and care about incentives. It took an hour into the FFT run for the reader to mention a bid war that closes two hours into the run.

I dunno, I'd say it's more a symptom of traditional marathon late night wind down than reader apathy. Brossentia was pushing the hell out of incentives all through the Earthbound run giving reminders maybe every 15-30 minutes about then unmet incentives like the death glitch and stairs glitch. I can't imagine outside character names and saving/killing

I'm going to be on couch for the run of whichever localization of puyo 1 wins the bid war so I'll probably play some of that when I'm not practicing cheetah.

I mean, you don't really need to be that well versed in PP1 as long as you can 5 chain consistently, since that's about all you need to rockrain the CPU. (PPVS also has different rules from any of the Puyo games since the developer just winged it instead of studying frame timings from the official games)

If you want to git gud the two most obvious things I can think of watching you play is to a) learn how to sandwich chain to give you more flexibility when building and b) learn how to transition so you can turn the corner and build upwards instead of panicking and setting off your chain early. there's also c) play faster but thats something that comes naturally with practice because you spend more time doing and less time thinking due to muscle memory. dragon enthusiast fucked around with this message at 19:33 on May 14, 2015 |
