Awesome Games Done Quick 2016: January 3rd - 10th.

Tonight looks good for runs, resident evil followed by a bunch of good disney games including GOOF FUCKING TROOP, so good.

Washed down with battleblock theatre with PJ and mecha, so damn good.
 
I don't mind this guy at all. At least he's trying to be entertaining. It can't be easy playing a video game and trying to be interesting in front of 100,000 people when you only get like 30 people in your chat regularly. Give the dude a break.

The speed tech and glitches in this game are pretty goddam broken and interesting though.

Yeah I'd rather have talky but cringey over dead silence.

Couch not really helping.
 
That runner's attempts at humor were kinda cringeworthy, but that was a really cool run. I had no idea Darksiders 2 had so many completely broken glitches.

Can you explain me the save the pixel/animals joke pls?

In Super Metroid, at the end of the game, you have the option of saving some innocent animals or letting them die. Letting them die is faster, but you get to feel like not a complete scumbag if you rescue them.

They always speedrun Super Metroid in agdq as a grand finale. One of the incentives is to save or kill the animals near the end of the game. Saving them loses time, so speedrunners obviously want the outcome to be to kill the animals.

In Super Metroid as you escape at the end there is a room with animals in.

Save the animals means the runner must visit the room (which is slower for a speedrun)

Kill the animals means the runner never visits the room, saving time and frames to get a better time.
 
Looks like Bloodborne any% might be current patch based on the estimate, which removes a lot of the biggest time saving glitches.

if you let the animals die, it frees up ram on the cart and there is less lag

i think?
Nothing of that sort, the animals are in a very out of the way room on the route to escape, so it costs time just to visit them.
 
Haven't watched a Splatoon speedrun yet, so this will be a first. The event last year was great btw.

Also, just entered the thread and already put someone on ignore list because of a stupid borderline nsfw avatar. Jesus... Learn some respect, people.

For what's supposed to be a flashy character action game, this is a pretty boring speedrun to watch.

Speedrunning DMC excludes actually using the combat to its fullest potential. It doesn't help that DMC4s campaign is super dull. I also doubt this runner is very skilled at the combat.

It would be much more interesting to watch if they got a skilled DMC player to run Bloody Palace, like this.
 
Hooow could DMC4 win over DMC3 aka best character action game ever? :-(
 
Transformers is gonna be fun because halfcoordinated is a fun dude but the actual run is kinda dumb. Definitely shows off how broken the loot system is.

because one run is with Vergil and the other is with Dante.

Everyone loves Vergil.

but yeah im in the same boat, would have loved to see DMC3 over DMC4.
 
Vergil is powerfully broken and the speed run is on Devil Hunter (normal) which is easy even by default character standards. He doesn't even have to time just releases with Beowulf, only the DT distortion.

The most interesting thing about the run are the various Vergil only skips.

Umming and ahhing about seeing it as not finished the game - might just watch the first 2/3 acts though

Just caught a few from yesterday and had to rewatch SMK - didnt realise he hit the shell into Luigi that ultimately pushed him into him and lost the challenge.

Don't mess with Luigi.

Games in this genre make for fairly lame speedruns (generally). The only ones I really like are the Ninja Gaiden Black speedrun and the hardest difficulty, all S-ranks category for the original Devil May Cry, despite 3D action games like that being my favorite genre.
 
That Mario 64 Multiplayer run was hillarious. And much more interesting than Darksiders, L4D or DMC...
