The glitches are weird as shit in that game.
I got pretty good at speed running Super Mario Bros 3, but started having trouble in the later stages, so I took a break from trying to speed run it.
I wonder how much skill I lost from not playing the game in a while? Maybe it's like riding a bike, were you never forget?
Also, pic related. Got to where I could beat Contra without getting hit, so I tried speed running it. Funny thing is, the final boss is where I start losing my pace. It's hard getting the hang of rapid-firing without using a special controller, and the last boss requires some pretty quick shooting.
Would love to speed run Breath of Fire III and the original Metroid, someday.

Those two need their own sitcom. Would watch.

>Donkey Kong Country 2
Oh, yeah? What's your best time?
>>3185483
sure glad the reward for beating Super Mario wasn't the plumber in his underwear.
I do but I just do it for fun and don't care for times.I don't even use shortcuts.

They're half the reason speedrunning DKC2 is fun as hell. The other half is the fact that the controls and the level design naturally allow for fast-paced gameplays.
I used to do runs of ocarina of time with two friends. We would pass the controller between dungeons, and eventually had a (glitch free) route planned out and all had our own dungeons. I had the water temple, which I eventually got down to about 35 minutes. After several runs with them, I did a run myself and beat it in 6:30 flat, nowhere near any records. It was just for fun really, we never used any tricks.

No, speedrunning is for faggots.

>he couldn't git gud
Sorry to hear that, anon.
Speed running is fucking cancer and done exclusively by faggots.

Speedrunning is for people who want to challenge themselves in single-player games after they get boring when played casually.
>>3186398
That sounds like so much fun. This to me is what speedrunning should be, playing a game for enjoyment, possibly as fast as possible, and having a great time.

Ignore them, they will only derail a possibly good thread.
Myself? I don't really speed run, but I do like the idea of optimizing game play and often incorporate some techniques I can do like forcing bomb drops in The Legend of Zelda, and basic movement strategies.
If like a jrpg enough I try to speedrun it. Xenogears is a bitch.

Show me an actual autistic speedrunner (not in the 4chan sense where OCD=autism).
PRESS A + B TO GLITCH THROUGH THE WALL, REPEAT 100,000x FOR PERFECT FRAMES

Bluegrass?
>>3186793
Not a runner. He just spectates GDQ's.
>>3186789
See

And Bluegrass is a runner.

>However, his runs are always flawed since his brain is to fucked up to even comprehend what the hell is going on in the game. Everybody in the room and in the chat thinks he has a great commentary over his runs. Too bad he doesn't realize that they're just toying with him and pretending to sympathize his sorry ass.
Not a speedrunner. Or a serious one anyway.

Dude, what? He even has a twitch.

Used to be #1 at Panic Restaurant a long time ago. I'm like #5 or so now, since I haven't touched the game in a long time.

Thanks, Reddit.
