These are fun, I want to watch some more. Beating THPS3 in 3 minutes is insane.

Half Life segmented is probably my favorite of all time. Half Life 2 any% is pretty fun as well. I also used to watch Cosmo a lot, so his Wind Waker and Ocarina of Time runs are fun.

Probably GBA Fire Emblem games tbh. I especially liked that one GDQ speedrun where an underleveled Lyn killed the final boss. It's just kinda fascinating to me how what should be instant reset-worthy moves just work due to how thoroughly these games have been solved.

One of the Yoshi's Island speedruns Trihex did at a GDQ. There's just so much unnecessary tech just for swag, and what is necessary is just fucking amazing. I love it.

Of course I may be a little biased by this game being one of my favorites as well, but still.

There are glitchless categories for a number of games if you consider that "cheating."

I do. Its far less impressive than actually getting good at the game lol. Not just 5-20 minutes of a game. Like how when a boss glitches and can't hurt you. It's so unsatisfying.

You do know that most speedrun glitches are harder to pull off than anything the game itself would require, right? Go ahead, try to execute SMW credits warp in any amount of time, let alone less time than it would take to beat the game normally.

You miss the point. It's not harder than actually playing the entire game as fast as you can. Why are you comparing playing the game normally? And I don't have an obsession with games to have that type of commitment. Doesn't mean I can't have an opinion. Especially since that's exactly what message boards are for.

Except it is? Anyway, glitchless runs are usually far more boring, because there's no challenge or variation, because the routes never change and they usually end up being brutally repetitive.

Yeahhhhh.... No.

Try speedrunning SMB1's route while using the glitches and you'll realize that some games are significantly harder using glitches. SMB1 is the epitome of "press Right to win" platforming without glitches, but there's like 5 frame-perfect inputs in getting the 1-1 flag alone if you use them IIRC.

Id probably agree. I don't know though cause the few times I click on one it's a glitch one. Id agree finding the glitch would be harder. I don't even understand how people find glitches.

Finding the glitches can be pretty hard, and requires a lot of theory and experimentation. Executing them once found, and executing them consistently, can be even harder

Theres multiple categories

Theres TAS (tool assisted speedrun), which allows for things like extreme slowmo or rewind.

Theres glitch or glitchless speedruns, 100% or any% etc.

There's no glitching or walljumps needed for 1-1 but the speed run actually starts before you even press start due to framerules.

Everything after 1-1 used some kind of glitch though.

I could've sworn 1-1 at least used that flagpole glitch (you know, where Mario hugs up against the block at the bottom of the flagpole instead of walking into the castle). Been a while since I saw an SMB1 though and I didn't follow it a ton, so I might be wrong.

I think he means the first three days after the tutorial three days.

That said, I still don't think it's possible, even with slowing time down. I could see doing the first two, MAYBE three areas, but all four?

not only is it possible, it's fairly easy even without any glitches or fancy tricks. There was someone on the MM game boards years back who was attempting a max% clear of the game in a single cycle, and I think he got every mask / item / heart piece in the game except for like... 6-7 of them? So if that much is possible it's a sign that just beating the game is way more lenient than you might think. just need to know where to go in advance.

As far as the topic title goes, I've been really impressed by the consistency in some IWBTG fangame runs even though the gameplay itself might not look very flashy. this sort of thing

That glitch is only possible if there's a bullet bill to jump on

Oh.

Okay, the glitch I was thinking of actually being done in World 1-1 was apparently that one where the flag doesn't go down at all.

At least, that's what happened there.

Also, as stupid as it may seem, I loved the Final Fantasy 1 speed run. All the info on how it actually works, the manipulations to the data tables they have to do, mapping the perfect paths to get ideal encounters... so much work to make it work just right.
