Nice roleplay session, OP.

This is why anything other than 100% speedruns is stupid.
>>389909325
I'd like to see you try you filthy casual

If that's not what you're looking for you probably don't actually like speedruns.
Perhaps letsplays done by competent players would be more your speed.
I think some people from Somethingawful still do that kind of thing.

Can you name one game where this is a thing, you pedantic autist?

Pokemon if it's Any% is literally just fucking around on the pc for 3 minutes to warp into the room that Oak congratulates you for beating Blue. Super Mario World Any% is similar.
tl;dr Any% in most games is stupid.

Even with glitchless 100% runs, speedrunning is almost always a case of avoiding everything interesting.
Only the few runners who do actually challenging shit are fun to watch, and those moments are few and far between in a run of mostly boring travel, dead air or "safe strats".

That's why no one runs that category, that's called Save Corruption. Serious runners run the any% no save corruption category where you use the cooltrainer glitch to beat the game in about 15-20 minutes, and then there's any% glitchless where you run through the entire game, and the only major sequence break is skipping Celadon game corner by using Poke Doll, which still results in a 2 hour run.
is there such thing as a fun run where you try to abuse every glitch possible and try to impress a series of judges?

I thought you faggots would like something like Speedrunning, but no. You somehow find a way to bitch about it as well.
