Gotta Go Fast xD!!!!!! Speedrun Discussion!!!!!!

Post by BubblyBatty »

Noticed that there wasn't a place to discuss speedruns here yet so lets talk about speedruns!

I've been really interested in Sierra adventure game speedruns recently! Mostly Kings Quest, KQV particularly!

I think speedrunning is really cool! I've never really done it but I think if I did try to I would try speedrunning Hyper Light Drifter probably.

Im not a speedrunner myself i just like to watch it, but im really close to just trying it out. But you could always start by looking up games you like on speedrun dot com. Mario games, especially super mario world and 64 have mountains of resources to pull from to start. And theres always the option of picking a game you know and just going "im going to complete this as fast as i can"!

This one is pretty popular and for good reason, the celeste TAS bot runs are so fluid and satisfying.

i was working on a TAS at one point of snk vs capcom card fighters clash, but i never made it very far. having to check every frame to make sure you aren't dropping inputs is tiring. i don't understand how TASers do it. routing is a nightmare too. figuring out "oh i can make timesave here" and then having to. redo all inputs after that to account for rng changes.
fucking wild
