I'd like to see a post patch run of Dark Souls, but it's entirely possible to clear cache on your console, take it offline and play the older on disk version instead. I know the official general rule on SDA is to use whatever version produces the fastest time.

HarkToTheLoons posted:My brother's submitting his Mario 64 run to Twin Galaxies at some point. 70-star minimal run. Non-TAS, so it's pretty long. Worth a look, though. Has your brother been paying attention to what's happened to SM64 records in the last year? Even allowing for whatever a "non-glitch" run is, compare his execution to nero's.

qntm posted:I haven't watched this all the way through, or played SS2 myself, but why is everything at an angle? Is this a glitch/speed strategy, or is there something wrong with the gravity for some in-game story reason? When you die the camera falls to the ground sideways like that. From watching the video the glitch seems to be that he gets an enemy to kill him as he jumps into the hole down into Engineering, causing him to die and level transition at the same time. He spawns in the next area with one HP, invincibility and the camera stuck in the "you are dead" position.

I think if PJ & co played Armageddon on a RubberWorm scheme they might erase WormNet from the Internet so it's probably for the best they stick to Reloaded. Armageddon will always be the most customizable version of Worms since it's continually upgraded via WormKit, but it's all bolt-on to the ancient UI.

MrLonghair posted:I'm not that excited to see something like Star Craft 2's campaign on but if they can figure out and get four player Borderlands 2 - that'll be it for me, the thing I want to see the most. BL2 runs are done on patch 1.3.1 as most of the glitches that make it possible have been patched out. And while they do use the Axton super speed glitch, the huge amount of health enemies have in four player means his role is mostly to hit triggers early. Everybody has a role in the run, including splitting up to hit multiple triggers as fast as possible. Professor Broman, TeaWrex, SuperGoos, and iMisty have been doing runs with a MultiTwitch setup every weekday recently that are a ton of fun to watch. This FAQ runs down the glitches used: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2rcz93j1002l658/Borderlands2-faq.pdf Internet Friend fucked around with this message at 21:16 on Sep 7, 2013 |

ToastyPotato posted:Do you have a link for one of your perspectives? Also, you should post next time you do the multi twitch thing because that sounds awesome as hell. I had no idea BL2 was even being run ever and I love the game so this has me very interested. Here's the new sub 2:30 record they just got this week: http://www.twitch.tv/professorbroman/c/2873830 If the BL2 runs are happening they start around 9 AM EST. Broman also does single player runs. Follow his stream/check bombch.us/Jop for the MultiTwitch stream. If you're interested in getting into running it, Broman is organizing Four Player Fridays where he takes three stream viewers through the game. Scroll down on that video link I posted and you can find the patch and videos about the route. edit: also I am not one of these runners, since you seemed to get that impression from my last post.

If there was a way to OOB past the locked door before the Fight House, that would skip a long, annoying mission. Unfortunately that requires figuring out how to do it intentionally, and nobody but Murph plays this game. So good luck to him.

Heresiarch posted:I remember the death skip involving the shield knockback method, but how does this one work? It's a variation on the "shift line" glitch normally done with the Heart Refresh, only in this case it's done by backdashing during the level up animation. If the room you walk into after doing the trick doesn't scroll, you load in on the wrong side of the screen and immediately transition to the next room after that, in this case skipping Death's room before he appears. You can also do this to loading rooms to carry the current tileset into the wrong area and create some incredibly garbled graphics.

Rename SRL Leaderboards to SRL Database and make an API & Twitch widget that displays the subset of runs that streamer wants to compete against. Each stream will show only the records that runner thinks are valid.

wa27 posted:Or they did it because people wouldn't stop complaining about how choppy twitch streams are for them. That's probably the reasoning behind giving non-partners video quality options too. That seems much more likely than Microsoft not knowing how to make a twitch app. A few days before the rollout of the new system staff member Encryptio was in Cirno's stream chat explaining routing and how Twitch's focus on low latency meant they couldn't use the same techniques Netflix or YouTube use to maintain quality, but that they were working on something to improve Twitch for people with connection issues. Then after the system goes live he shows up and complains that he can't go anywhere without people bitching about buffering.

Link to the Past Any% No OOB just got wrecked by a new glitch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epOSfEVBAAI You can now skip fighting Lamolas and Moldorm, getting the master sword, and Aghanim's tower. That removes the worst boss RNG from the run and brings it down to under 1:20.

Each of the family members has access to a specific set of tools, and each of the McGuffins is in an area that strongly encourages the use of that person's tools. The music changes hint you're in a new zone as well. The map is huge, but there's at least some sense to it. The only straight up bullshit part IMO is having to fall through an unmarked block in an unremarkable corner to reach the bottom area of the map.

pixaal posted:I don't know too much about this Ultima but I do know stuff scales with your level and its possible to level to a point that you cannot win. There is a reason speed runs are normally under an hour. The NES speedrun being under an hour has more to do with glitches in the port than the design of the game. For instance, you can prevent enemies from moving by holding the D-pad while exiting the menu, or regen mana in dungeons by spinning around. The enemies directly before Exodus hit like a truck and are invisible but can be perfectly manipulated, and and you can make sure your magic doesn't fizzle by casting on the right frame of animation. The TAS also causes a boat to spawn behind the serpent, skipping having to sail there normally with the Mark of the Serpent.

There's discussion of the glitch in the main Zelda thread. As I understand it, filling the screen with actors then trying to create the flute tornado alters the ghost's AI state, which causes it to execute code based on the music, then based on XY positions of Link and an enemy, then based on the current RNG. The run sets it up so this creates a bunch of items including one that quickly warps between screens, and another that executes code based on the X positions of actors. He gets to the last dungeon so the credits are loaded, then sets up Link and a Petra in a way that the ACE item calls the credits.quote:Masterjun wrote:

As a followup to that Zelda 1.0 ACE TAS, Sockfolder figured out a way to do it in real time by using the filenames to write instructions.
