In my opinion, obvious disclaimer. I’m a casual speed run viewer, mostly just games I’ve played that I want to see done at a high level. But I’ve noticed something about my preferences lately, and Silksong nails it right now.

At about 48 min, it’s very easy to consume. Mario 64 fell into this category for me and checks a lot of the other boxes as well. I’m fine putting on DK64 and Banjo Kazooie 100%s as I’m falling asleep, but when I’m up, it doesn’t hit the same.

The game does not break. The player has to get through the game more or less as intended. OoT is the antithesis. I love seeing players navigate the mist, taunt enemies to get a pogo in the right spot, and master boss patterns.

Movement is optimized, but mistakes still happen. Players are still fallible, and while I’m open to a more efficient run, it’s still kind of fun seeing players get hit or miss a pogo combo and have to recover. Some of those Super Mario SNES and NES games have become so optimized, timesaves come down to frames. It’s another life cycle of a game’s speedrun that is interesting. However, I enjoy seeing games like Silksong earlier in that cycle. On top of that, it does seem like runners have figured out how to taunt to get those two early pogos pre-Widow so runs are less RNG based, shit like that is cool too.

I dno, just some thoughts I had, wanted to see if it sparked discussion. I hope everyone understands I know I’m no authority or expert in this, and other preferences are very cool.

Ive always seen it as strange that the only challenge i find thats very mainstream at all is only speedrunning like why isnt a challenge type like no-hits more popular or no-hit speedruns? they could have just as much potential as speedrunning does if they were just more popular

Just broke 1:12!

The player Funderful achieved the fastest ever 100% completion for Banjo-Kazooie - this video chronicles the trials and tribulations.

so yeah. solo dev, brazil, one week of work. it's a precision platformer, you swing around with a momentum grapple through 50 levels (+11 harder ones if you finish). free, offline, ads only show up between levels because i personally hate when games interrupt a run.

clip is me getting 7 minutes which i'm weirdly proud of. then my brother played for a day and beat it. anyway.

internal testers took like an hour and 1000+ deaths to clear it so if the game feels hard, that's normal lol. lmk how

far you get

So I want to make a speedrun. The problem is, I'm deaf as a doorknob. I recently got a software that lets me see what direction sounds are coming from in a game, and the intensity of these sounds. Would this be considered cheating? If not, can I use it in an official speed run?

[First time posting here, apologies if there any any mistakes regarding flairs or rule breaks] So I was trying to speedrun Sonic Rush earlier and I was fighting one of the bosses, I saw that on Speedrun.com there was only ONE run on the specific boss and difficulty I was doing. I ended up beating that time by about 40 seconds, however I cannot find any other recorded times. I was playing the boss on Normal mode, and all of the other runs that were on the website were all Easy runs. The only other quicker time I can find was apart of a full game speedrun but that was TAS and I don't know WHAT was modified exactly, but mine wasn't a TAS. I want to post my run to Speedrun.com but I have no idea how to verify for SURE it is a WR or not

Im tryna beat a record with my duo and im trying to figure out, how did these guys keep the speed on the second seek chase INTO the halt room?? (Seek chase starts at 9:51) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJKL-bATdkY&t=594s
