Endorph posted:The FE8 run is more uncomfortable than anything. The dude just seems so apologetic and sad by the end, and not in a funny way. Yeah, I feel that. He didn't seem like he failed to practice his game any but it kinda looked like he got really boned on the RNG. Maybe it was a lack of foresight to put that game forward in the first place but drat it wasn't a funny trainwreck, it was just heartbreaking.

pisshead posted:You could say that about everything I've seen on this stream so far. In fact I don't think I've seen a game where you can go visibly much faster than the average player. i actually couldn't, Ristar, Heady and Streets Of Rage were all sick as gently caress and all of them were appreciably faster than I could do on a normal playthrough. I have actually speedrunned (speedran? Spedran? Ah gently caress it) Simpsons Arcade in the past and the distinction between speedrunning and simple decent play isn't appreciable enough for me to prefer it as a speedgame. Simpsons Arcade in general is a fairly simplistic beat 'em up. not making GBS threads on the game or anything, I like Simpsons Arcade and all but I've actually tried my hand at it before and it kinda ain't great to speedrun. CUHRAZY TAXIIIIIIIIII yo I'm so excited this run is great

mfcrocker posted:Say no to Team Rose FOLLOW ME INSIDE OUTSIDE THROOUGH THE STRATOSPHERE team rose is in fact the greatest, but really though I would be inclined to support it because Big the cat can do some wacky poo poo and its pretty incredible. Team Sonic and Dark are pretty vanilla iirc but Chaotix was interesting enough in the base game that a speedrun of it might be cool but I've never seen it.

Your Computer posted:Wasn't it last year where some dude did loving MINECRAFT? There are some games I have no idea why they even allow at the event. minecraft set seed any% speedrunning is actually interesting if only from the logistical standpoint of how the seeding algorithm was reverse engineered to produce the most useful seed for speed, that's kind of neat. also the general strategy of using detonating beds in The End to kill the dragon caught me off-guard because that's actually really clever. It's also a fairly brief run so it's over before you know it if you don't like it. Plus the finish where the guy accidentally suicided into the ending portal was funny and unexpected and yet it still works. basically minecraft in the right circumstances is actually cool and okay, but they were actually planning on having an almost 2 hour simple Any% (no seed) done by two LP'ers before it was kicked off the schedule because neither of them were taking it seriously enough.

Al Borland posted:I'm skeptical of this. why? it's pretty demonstrably true if you just look at the schedule. FF7 is some broken rear end game but it does take a decent while of the usual boring JRPG fare before it really gets going, but it gets going and it's pretty special when it does.

dpbjinc posted:understand why they want Touhou games but don't do the official games (all shmups and fighting games) Double Spoiler and Shoot The Bullet are actually really speedrunnable shmups as a consequence of how unique they are in the genre and I think was actually supposed to be at an SGDQ but didn't happen due to the runner being unable to make it. Here's Double Spoiler Done Quick, it's cool. anyway what's there to get, people like thing and they also like other thing so put things together and acquire even better thing. I know it doesn't actually work that way but the thinking isn't completely beyond comprehension.

Gibbo posted:It's not latenight yet. This could have easily been swapped with the rogue-lite block. it likely couldn't have been because timetabling a marathon is a logistical clusterfuck of clashing schedules, I'm not saying the schedule as it is is the only way it could've possibly been but this poo poo isn't thrown together with no sense. everytime you want to say something stupid about the timetabling or how it would've been "easy to do" this or that, I want you to not because nothing about the organisational side of this event is particularly easy and you just want stuff to bend to your personal opinions anyway. like I'm not even watching the run because fire emblem bores the poo poo out of me but man are you whiny and wrong about it

Austrian mook posted:Are there even? probably yeah but because it's something even vaguely akin to a JRPG people are still going to whinge themselves inside out when it comes on. People complained about the KH run during Crystals For Life which is a speedrun marathon exclusively populated by JRPGs which is the most baffling complaint I ever did see.

i already wish I was there so I could commentate this silent hill run instead this nerd doesn't even do the quick opening strategy, COME ON EDIT: Fun fact, we counted the steps coming out of the cafe to reach the first key to determine whether it was faster to go left or right out of the cafe at the start. Going camera left is faster by like 5 steps and thus roughly a second!

Oh good, he is doing good+ hence no rifle. granted I really wanted to see what would happen at the last boss when he realised he didn't have enough ammo to complete it and would have to dodge lasers for minutes until the boss dies of its own accord but ok, roll on tekkie. was good+ a donation incentive or something

Gibbo posted:Still better than fire emblem. actually it's not better than fire emblem because that game goes appreciably and notably faster on a speedrun where that just kinda didn't nobody speedruns rhythm games or most shmups and would be laughed at for trying to do so because they are entirely fixed in how long they take, yes? Splatterhouse was kinda straddling that line. I'm not like super offended by it or anything either, just puzzled at the notion of speedrunning a game that's 80% autoscroller.

Gibbo posted:And you didn't like a game for X reason. Oh no autoscroller not a great speedrun. At least it didn't waste 3 hours of stream time. I don't think you understand that "I didn't like thing" is usually not a cue to jump in and start incessantly chanting "well it was better than this other thing that I've been bitching about for the past gently caress knows how many pages nonstop but has no relevance to the thing currently being talked about" which by the way holy poo poo the loving irony of your own post really is lost on you isn't it. and my post wasn't even just straightforward disapproval, I said that I didn't get speedrunning it because it seemed like mostly auto scroller, like did I miss something there? Was he doing anything to expedite the stages progress or is he just confined to the stage scroll because it didn't look like he could do much to actually speed most of the game up. you really are just looking for any excuse to bang on about how much you hated the fire emblem run which is bafflingly pathetic, gently caress off dude.
