Getting the cow in the house and then duplicating it to have 420 of them?

I meant get a cow in the house then the usual dank% i.e. do ocarina items with a flaming deku stick (but this time next to the cow)

On the Super Metroid note, zoast just got the 100% record. His PB was 1:13:08, WR was ShinyZeni at 1:13:04, and zoast just got a 1:12:55. He's rewatching it now

lol this owns.

I've mostly moved to TAS's for my speedrun needs. You get all the intimate detail and game knowledge, but they are entertaining to watch, and RNG can be manipulated in the game state so they don't have to farm 3 enemies for 40hrs.

In other news, some guy is working on some new program that will display live head-to-head SMB1 speedruns on a single screen.

https://youtu.be/18fbp9H89Xg

Obviously, it can also display recorded runs, like this video shows. It seems he's also worked in a way to retroactively get the controller inputs from recorded sessions (even Miniland's, which was on a CRT).

this was rad as hell, thanks for sharing. actually, it made me go back and watch the summoning salt video on 4-2 after seeing the tas gains a couple seconds on the runners by avoiding doing the clip

I don’t know much about SM, but just looking at the criteria, it’s the acronym - bosses are killed in the same order as the formal name of North Korea.

No idea why that boss kill order is so interesting that it’s worth it’s own category though, maybe a SM expert can clarify that.

I'm pretty sure it's not and the genesis of the category is someone realizing ask the boss order acronyms on the normal leaderboard were close and doing it for a laugh, then other people doing it.

It's a category extension, which is where things that don't really have merit outside of being funny for people who are in on the joke end up.

The first time I saw an SM reverse boss order run was enlightening to say the least. 12-year old me had a bunch of dumb opinions, but at least one was 100% correct. Super Metroid was one of the best speed run games there is.

I feel like I'm missing something here but isn't this basically following the intended normal route through the game? Which is, yeah, terrible for speed and/or people who know the slightest thing about playing SM but also a perfectly fine first walkthrough?

Kchama posted:

It's a terrible guide because it doesn't really provide any help with actually anything, and more to the point from what I've read following the route requires you to do some very advanced maneuvers to advance through some rooms because it skips items like the Space Jump. So first-time players would have a bad time getting through the game using the guide, especially with how detail-free it is.

Oh jeez yeah that'd do it.

haha wow i cant believe how lucky we got to win :D
They figured out a different way of getting credit warp ACE in paper mario using RAM from another N64 game and stop n swopping it over. This is much more RTA viable (JCog just got it on console for the first time) so they're gonna have to have a discussion on whether it's legal to load memory in from a separate game first for any% speedruns lmao

Oh jeez yeah that'd do it.

In addition to what Kchama said, it looks like it was in fact published as a speed guide, since it says that it's instructions for getting "the best ending", which is speed-based.

I wonder if they'll time from when they start paper mario, or include the setup in the other game too

People are supposed to get hurt by things. It's fucked up to not. It's not good for you.
I made a short video explaining some glitches we've found lately in OMORI Speedrunning.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GNnoTm88Y0

On a related note, the OMORI any% run is now below 3 hours. RPG speedruns n poo poo, dawg.

https://twitter.com/Succinct_Punchy/status/1363339321298845696

it's funny that there's like two pages of discussions about credits warp because when we found this relatively minor stuff a bunch of people immediately requested a glitchless category and it's holding up getting normal runs published on the board atm because speedrun bureaucracy is the most boring poo poo imaginable. I assure you as soon as some cool new tech is discovered some boring gently caress will filibuster it for like a week for no adequately disclosed reason while they figure out how to sub-categorize it, no community leaps into something as large as a credits warp without reams of tedious words on a discord server
