nice HTML edit

I have a genuine question that might come off as trolly; do you need some kind of knack or autism to really get into Speedrunning? I enjoyed the learning aspect, but actually grinding it out really bores the shit out of me. Which makes me sad because I like seeing people break records and such.

>>175031145
Grinding doesn't have to be boring, just listen to music or talk to your chat while you practice. A good number of speedrunners get addicted to practicing and spend more time doing it than doing runs. Just keep at it and it might click for you. If it doesn't, maybe "top level" speedrunning isn't for you. And that's okay, just learn games and get shit times if you want, noone cares.

2 questions

im still doing GTA SA bullshit and cant break 89s on City Slicking, 2:30 on Badlands B, and 2:40 on Badlands A. how can i go fast?

second thing, what are the dumbest speedrun categories uve ever heard of, i mean like real meme shit like OoT All Cows and garbage licc that

>>175031145
speedruns are really diverse

some appeal to the breaking of software, some are just plain ol' high speed action. like, i would speedrun something like ZoE2 because its just HIGH SPEED ROBOT ACTION at INCREDIBLE HIGH SPEEDS, but others do stuff like Ocarina of Time because even though you dont move particularly quick, theres a lot of disrespect to the software driving the game which is itself kinda fun. it takes all sorts

>>175052685
You have to install the patch, then uninstall and play the unpatched version. This will give you the best of both versions, which is cheating but everyone does it.

whats a good external capture card I can use to record my hdmi consoles speedruns?

So apparently the kingdom hearts leaderboards are getting some drama going proving the mods there don't give a single shit. What would you do, /srg/ if a game you run had mods that didn't actually care about making sure runs are good?

>>175056303
i'm a mod of several games on speedrun.com and i haven't logged into that site in over 9 months. the runners will just cry to kirkq and they will give one of them mod to take care of everything.

also it's not hard to mod a game. you watch the run to make sure there is no cheating and you accept it. what else is there to do to "make sure runs are good"?

>>175056596
>you watch the run to make sure there is no cheating and you accept it.
Guess what they don't do.
>>175056783
You also have to make sure the runs aren't missing footage and don't have cases were the runner can blatantly cheat. Guess what the KH leaderboards have?

>>175057541

Don't you have to go okay a run that's over a hour and a half long that only has 30 minutes of footage?

>>175057541
Nobody cares what you write in Youtube comments. I've made a comment on a Mario speedrun, where the runner clearly has an invincibility cheat code on because he touches a ton of plants, but I just got drowned out by mindless sheeps who don't care and try to be funny.

>>175069069
What's your pb?

>>175069682
I don't have a pb. It's not hard to tell that it's easy to optimize though. Look at Squid's progress in this game vs his progress in SM64 lmao.

>>175069848
So you're commenting about how a game is to run without running it? How does that work? How are we measuring what makes a game easy and what makes a game difficult? Why did you mention Squid?

>How does that work?
Ask the guy who says Toastrider can't 1:39, he seems to be an expert on it.

>>175070119
it's not hard to tell that it's an easy game. look at how fast squid got the world record, then look at how long it took him to get a fucking 54 in 70 star lmao.

2D games are easier to speedrun than 3D games

Estimated average hours required to achieve a near-optimized time.

>>175070505
Isn't a 54 normal for someone who didn't spend much time on the run?

>>175071061
Why are you even saying this? Who made a claim related to this?

>>175071332
What does that have to do with the topic? His sm64 progress was kind of slow compared to how many hours he streamed the game, but that's not the point. The point is how quickly he got the Bomberman Hero record.

>>175071439
>How are we measuring what makes a game easy and what makes a game difficult?
The guy who said you need to run a game to get a general idea of how difficult it is.

>>175071548
Hours played do not = guaranteed time in a game though. Where are your numbers for these claims, anyway?

>>175071663
This makes no sense.

>>175072074
Ok, you win, Bomberman Hero is a super hard top tier speedgame and everyone who runs it is a god gamer.

>>175072276
Funny how you drop it all when asked for numbers. Why do you even spout this meaningless trash? For the record, I agree that SM64 is clearly more difficult, but you're also an asshat.

>>175084834
>He does practice correctly
fucking lmao

have you ever watched him practice? he just does the same wrong shit over and over and barely pays attention.

It's funny how there are so many bad speedrunners who never improve, yet they go completely un-noticed. There are more insanely bad ones, than competent ones. Yet only MrSpeedrun gets attacked.

>>175085131
>Yet only MrSpeedrun gets attacked.
Gee I wonder why.

Maybe it's because he spreads false information about the game, acts like he's an authority even though he's shit, insults better runners (long before they insulted him), exhibits delusions of grandeur, spergs out at anyone who tries to help him, ignores advice despite setting goals that require following a strict set of steps to achieve.

>>175117214
>implying that's enough
Also the way he does is shit. And he constantly complains about not understanding things. You're supposed to grind until you understand.

>>175117365
How is it shit? Not understand things is normal. You are always learning when speedrunning.

>>175117517
>Not understand things is normal
How clueless are you? Understanding is the most important thing so you know what to avoid in the next run. He has 2k hours of spammed runs for a good reason.

>>175117665
Not clueless at all. Yes, understanding is important, but not everyone just instantly understands everything. As I said before, it is normal to come across something and not completely understand it. It is also impossible to 'avoid' mistakes. There is a reason people do not match their SOB.

>He has 2k hours of spammed runs for a good reason.
That is not a big number for a serious speedrunner.

>>175117904
>mrspeedrun
>a serious speedrunner

>>175118070
Nice argument.

He puts in the practice every single day. He puts in the hours. He will get good. People improve at different rates. The big SM64 bully meme is stale already. Stay scared.

>>175117904
>but not everyone just instantly understands everything
2k is an absolutely sizable amount. Retards like mrspeedrun don't understand half the game after 2k hours because they're too busy spamming runs and doing the chat experience. Runners with actual brains don't have these problems because they pay attention to what they're doing.

>>175118593
Right. First it will be mrspeedrun, then squid, and then every stream monster is going to get good in your imaginary world. Wrong. These people don't truly care about being good at the game. It's the binny syndrome all over again.

That makes sense, because you need to be an autist to be a good speedrunner, and SM64 is the hardest speedgame.

>>175122602
Then what? Mute the game, the music, not do certain things, and then not speedrun it? If a game is a chore to play I'd rather not play it at all. It's a clunky piece of shit.
