My god that SS2 run is amazing, he's just barreling through the game and has it down to near perfection. Also :lol: when SHODAN asks "Why are you going so slowly? Do you think this is a game?"

Watching this is making me want to play this game again, what great ambiance.

So Sig buckled and made too many mistakes around 100 stars and completely forgot about a star in Snowmans' Land. Run over.

Sig's last run was a 1:48:32. He's getting close to Nero's WR of 1:48:27!

Sig's starting up again, I think, the timer is 24~ minutes in so I guess he's starting another 12 hour run?

edit: Sig is starting and he has a picture-in-picture going of is previous run so you can watch both and see if he trails behind. loving awesome.

Kyrosiris posted:

MST stands for "Medallions, Stones, and Trials", the main category that Cosmo runs. Basically, you have to enter the blue warp for all of the dungeons and complete all six trials at Ganon's Castle, then finish the game.

RBA stands for "Reverse Bottle Adventure", a ridiculously complex memory-editing trick that allows for all sorts of shenanigans. This page at ZeldaSpeedRuns has way more info than you'd ever need unless you're trying it yourself.

Jesus that's intense, but pretty amazing that someone figured this all out.

Did Siglemic's commentated run ever get posted anywhere?

Siglemic used to have a ton of mods but he settled on having fewer because he was sick of getting messages from people asking to be unbanned. Also because he likes the trolling for the most part.

The backlog at SDA right now averages seven months. There are a lot of records that are beaten by the same runner before their first run is ever posted.

Someone should make a competitive site that actually loving updates quickly. 7 months? What's the point? Though, there's a certain irony to the whole thing that I love.

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.

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.

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. :(

Because he uses a lot of frame perfect tricks, scripts and luck manipulation I suppose. Still a great run and really interesting to watch a listen. My favorites run from AGDQ had really great commentary, OoT/RE4/HL which let people know how the game and the tricks worked and why they were making use of them.

Don't forget that one time he molested a girl while she was sleeping or the two underage girls(that I know of, there might be more) that he's dated.

You're loving kidding me, isn't this the same dude who got emotional on stream during one of the donation runs about "never fitting in, but everyone here at SDA is so nice" like a total anti-social creep?

Definitely going to troll this dude during the next marathon.

As for the molestation, at some point he was crushing and was in good tidings with some girl who was actually his own goddamn age and they slept in the same bed together and he tried to finger her while she slept and then backpedaled to us and was all like: "GUYS WE WERE SLEEPING AND MY HAND SOMEHOW WOUND UP IN HER PANTIES BY ACCIDENT HOW TO I MAKE HER UNDERSTAND I'M NOT IN THE WRONG CAUSE IT WAS AN ACCIDENT."

Having said that, how anyone can stand to speed run a RPG is well beyond me. SO much is beyond your control that it would drive me insane.

Yeah, not to take away from the runners but most of it seems to really be out of the player's control.
