Does /v/ do speedrunning?
If so what games?

No as speedrunning will make you slice off your wiener and start wearing dresses

I had the fastest time in a single Hitman 2 (the modern one) level on PS4. It was the extra mission that takes place in the suburb and involves the guy selling magic water. It could be beaten in less than 30 seconds by just starting as the garbage man, shooting a civilian from far away (non-leathally) to cause a group of them to scatter and then shooting through a window to cause the target to try to flee downstairs, at which point you would shoot a lamp hanging over the stairs which would kill him in an accident. Then you would leave the level through the sewer entrance at the construction site. All the shooting could basically be done while you were running towards the construction site. The only element of randomness was bullet spread causing you to sometimes randomly miss the lamp.

I just want to race friends. What are good/short games to casually race friends in?

Someone post the video where he's writhing around on his bed and then lets out a huge fart

Whenever I watch one of these they use weird terms that i don't understand and can't be arsed to look up. Also exploiting through a wall to skip 95% of the game is just cheating. Not speedrunning.
Nah thanks

>glitch/exploit speedrun
shit, only good for interest of "how it was done", not playing the actual game
>cheesing speedrun
case by case
>glitchless/no cheese
best kind of speedrun

Years ago, I completed the mission "Streets" for Goldeneye 64 in only one minute and twelve seconds. I was pretty proud of it.

>>713367307 (OP)
did cosmo untroon yet

i was first spot in a niche game 10 years ago
i dont know why i did it, just felt like it

>decide to watch some Link to the Past hyper randomized speedrun
>runner has the most annoying subscriber sound that plays every few minutes with the fucking minigame music playing and some loud voice saying OH MY GOD

>Okay so now here we have this bingobongo skip by Dicksucker69 and as you see I do it perfectly here.

I got real great at speed running Castlevania Chronicles on PS1. I never recorded it, never shared it. Just owned the game and felt like it would be a fun challenge. That's it.

>>713368042
I think it is even more annoying when the runner basically doesn't talk at all because he has done the run 10000 times and no longer feels the need to explain anything since all the people in his stream also know everything that is happening by heart. That's something I always like about GDQ since they always try to explain what is happening.

I tried to get into speed running once when I was younger and quickly realized it’s a sad and pointless way to waste your life. Literally nobody cares if you can beat a game fast. It’s a little magic trick that a few mentally ill people find amusing for a few seconds and then they’ve moved on and forgotten about you. Practicing speed running in no way hones your skills or improves your life, you are literally wasting away your life doing this shit. You’re better off sitting down and casually enjoying a game, at least that is a form of relaxation without stress involved.

Nah nigga. This kind of hobby seems like a selfmade dedicated circle of hell to me

Shame what happened to Cosmo...

>>713367307 (OP)
cosmo used to be the face of speedrunning, sad what happened. at least some of the other oot speedrunners are still fun to watch.

Speedrunning sounds so BORING
I can't even be bothered to play a game a second time through after unlocking NG+ shit
Why would anyone waste their time speedrunning?

Is the speedrunning community still crawling with troons or has that died down a bit?

>>713369207
I like Andy as a streamer but yeah his setup is a bit much. The quad rando is a fucking nightmare machine, can't wait until it's public.

>>713367307 (OP)
OoT, I'm not very good and I'm using an ancient route but it's fun.

>>713371438
the any% route sorta takes the piss out of everything anyways, might as well just fuck about with the strats you personally enjoy

>>713370329
Because they think it is fun optimizing continuously.

>>713367307 (OP)
I beat SOTN in under an hour once

I remember when ZFG used to run OoT 100% and people were always asking
>where we dropping
because the route hat that Lake Hylia tree upwarp in it.

>>713371509
That's pretty much what I do, a really old any% route with RBA or some challenge run like all dungeons as child.

Didnt Cosmo de-transition or whatever. Or was it just a rebrand

>>713371728
>because the route hat that Lake Hylia tree upwarp in it.
You mean hookshot jump.

>>713371794
Once it's no longer fashionable they'll detransition and blame the progressive left for lying to them or whatever. They're just retards that go from one life crisis to the next. Guess the ones that actually cut their dicks off can't detransition though LMAO

Not speedrunning, but I did beat some dev times in Neon White.
That took some effort.

>>713371760
I wish I enjoyed playing OoT more, it's the foundation for so much of the series and the randomizer looks really neat. It just never clicked for me, even as a lifelong Zelda fan.

>>713368438
>Exploit glitch Speedrun
The out of bounds shit ind Ds3 killed that run as well as made it boring as hell to watch someone run for half the run using deathcam and everything unloaded

>>713371835
Been so long that I forgot the name. Only the ancient ones remember...

>>713367307 (OP)
I have tried it in the past. It can be really fun depending on the game, if you enjoy the execution and routing aspect of it. I have never taken it to the point where I'm competing for records, though.

>>713368438
Glitchless is boring.

>>713367307 (OP)
Glitchymon was my favorite chud oot speedrunner

>>713371932
That's far. I've always loved the game pushing it mechanically is god damn fun to me but when it comes to other Zeldas, they don't click that way for me. Majora's Mask in particular is so close to OoT yet has some really dumb tiny gameplay changes that makes it incredibly jarring for me to play. Honestly, everybody has that one game they passionately love even if it's not Zelda, you don't have to speedrun it either but going back and learning to push it mechanically can breathe new life into the game for you for a whole new experience all over again.

>>713368438
People will say this and then complain that some RPG speedrun takes more than 1 hour at GDQ.

>>713372345
>That's fair.*

I tried out speedrunning CTR NF. I was practicing time trials all day. I managed to get top 20 on of the courses but I felt really embarrassed because of all the time I spending beating my own time so I stopped

>>713372375
>RPG speedrun
stupidest shit ever
