We've got a while to go still.

Ill probably end up making it, and the ESA one.

The European Speedster Assembly looks so good this year.

Even their website is nice.

RIP iQue hate. He'd be faster on console anyway

Yup, with this run he is now the fastest regardless of the 13s iQue saves.

It's local Denver time. Mountain Time Zone (UTC-6:00 when you factor in Daylight Savings).

Thank you,
I said from 8 hours in the future

Just completed my first proper run of Metroid: Zero Mission 100%. Got an in-game time of 1:10:51. For reference, the current WR is 50:58

In case anyone is interested, I've highlighted it here.

Can't watch the video right now.
EDIT: I follow you on Twitch to watch the run later.

What are you playing on?
Did you use an established route, or plot your own?

How comofrtable do you feel about advanced maneuvers?

I never attempted a 100% run, but Metroid ZM is my second favourite game of all time, so maybe I should give it a try. Would be really surprised if I get below 1:30.

I'm playing on emulator (VBA-M) and I'm using my SNES controller into a USB adapter.

Kirbymastah provided me with some videos to use and to explain some routes. I've mainly used the same route as the WR holder (although an older video and not his current WR). I'll link them here:

• 100% Run by Spidey
• Route Info

I'm pretty comfortable now with the more advanced stuff except Infinite Double Bomb Jumping, but thankfully that isn't really used much and Infinite Single Bomb Jumping works fine too - it's just slower. My main problems are execution and the Iron Ted boss fight.

The game is great fun to run. It's taken me a few weeks to get the route down nicely and another few to get a full run, but it's fast paced and relatively easy to memorize too. I'd definitely encourage you to give it a try. I'm gonna continue at it and also learn Metroid Fusion (probably after ESA) since it's a relatively similar game control wise.

New WR for Link Between Worlds. 1:45.27 is the time. It can definitely go lower than that too it seems. Some new tricks in Ice Ruins I believe made a 7 minute time save possible from the old WR.

Doing another run in a few minutes too I believe.

Damn, that's one crazy skip.

Really cool how they are finding new skips frequently for ALBW.

[Anth0ny]

Just another reason why LBW is so godlike... it's even speed run friendly! Sub 2 hours already is fantastic.

I hope we get something similar with the Wii U Zelda.

I'd say so. Zelda seems to just be one of those franchises runners love.

One day Sigel is going to get bopped. The 1:43 hype is real. It's going to happen soon.

that RR cost him a WR

 

[Origami Superman]

Sig about to do a 24hr stream? But I have work to do!

 

[DaBoss]

Nice way to start off the day. Good old Siglemic.

 

[DaBoss]

Sorry for the double post, but this run is real: http://www.twitch.tv/siglemic

EDIT: 4 stars, 6 min.

EDIT2: 1 star + Bowser with about 2 min to go for sub 1:44.

EDIT3: HE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[MBR]

Super Mario 64 (N64) WR by Siglemic = 1:43:54

 

[Arc07]

dat 1:43

Didn't get the chaos but still funny.

 

[Gintoki]

Amazing run

 

[DaBoss]

Man that was so good. And I'm about to go write an exam now too lol.

Outstanding! He was on a sort of run when I went to bed early this morning but he died on Tiny-Huge Island so I said it's time for sleep I'll hear about whatever he's done when I wake up.

That is the coolest shit everrrrrr.

I'm sort of bummed out now though because I thought that dungeon was one of the coolest to watch speed runned!

Just logged on to see the closing cinematic, late as usual lol.

 

[Not Aaron]

The new world record for Metroid Prime: Hunters 100% (single-segment) is now 1:19:40.
100% means all upgrades collected, including the Omega Cannon (adds to % completion).
1:19:40 is in-game time. It was roughly 1:29:17 RTA.
Here's a link to the video:
http://www.twitch.tv/amhite/c/4115701
I got it about four hours ago. If any of you watched my run during the Metroid Marathon, I sincerely apologize. I was nervous. However, I am 14 minutes faster now!

 

[TUSR]

Puncayshun is going to cut Sig's time eventually. We are going to relive 2012 when it was Sig vs. Nero.

1:43:30 or bust

Is he Japanese or is there a technical/gameplay reason to use the Japanese version?
(or both)

I enjoyed your Metroid Marathon run, plus it's not often you see someone running a Metroid game that isn't Prime/Super/Fusion. Was very interesting to watch as well, especially some of the missile glitches.

 

[Not Aaron]

I'm the runner. I run the JP version because a teleporter near the end of the run works in the JP version and not in the ENG version. It also has less text.

Thanks! You'll certainly enjoy my more recent runs then (no silly deaths and all the tricks are included!). They're a lot better. It'll be a better run next year, too. Promise.

Wow I love all those skips, I'm definitely going to have to try them.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Puncay on 1:43 pace right now in Snowman Land.

http://www.twitch.tv/puncayshun

edit: WR pace now

Had a Siglemic like choke on Bowser. Didn't even PB. I can't imagine how that feels

 

[TUSR]

he fucking choked on the easiest bowser throw. what a dink.

he has the ability to get WR, that one -44.9 split is nuts.

 

[DaBoss]

This Tower of Hera route in ALBW is crazy: http://www.twitch.tv/anwonu/c/4126999

My god the game just gives skips everywhere. I wonder if this game will be at sub 1:30 by SGDQ.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Cosmo doesn't choke under the pressure for an 18:32 OoT any%

He said he was going to end any% and he's 28 seconds ahead. Even without an iQue it's still a pretty good WR

 

[DaBoss]

Holy shit, Lorule Castle Trials skip: http://www.twitch.tv/gigadb/c/4133335

It seems the bomb jump is frame perfect.

 

[weaKwillO]

Glad to see ALBW is getting even more broken.

 

[theprodigy]

puncayshun's got another WR pace run going, bets on when he'll choke?

Spoiler

money's on RR

Still, seems like any day now the WR for SM64 will finally drop. Pretty exciting.

Is this 70-star? Because Sig got a new 120 WR this week during his 24-hour stream.

 

[LordAlu]

Just had a new PB on Metroid: Zero Mission.

Only a 15 second improvement, but it's an improvement! Made all the more impressive to me considering I almost threw the entire thing away and lost nearly three minutes thanks to some stupid mistakes.

Streamed it on Twitch (in two parts due to resetting the stream on account of frame drops) - can be watched here (1) (2).

 

[DaBoss]

Congrats, LordAlu!

Puncayshun keeps getting that WR pace and then ends up messing up. :/

SGDQ schedule is up

Up on the site

https://gamesdonequick.com/schedule/

No Super Mario 64, no Yoshi Island and no Cosmo doing zeldas... strange

 

[Velcro Fly]

The June 23rd Mega Man block is going to be awesome.

 

[Red Arremer]

Not sure if it was mentioned here, but Crystals 4 Life is currently going on, an RPG marathon.

So there are some pretty cool spotlight things going on for some speedrunners. Getting on the front page of Twitch and doing some no reset runs is pretty neat.

 

[Released]

I just got sub 1:30 in A Link to the Past last night with this run. Feels good.

Andy has the spotlight tonight, and we're doing an all category race of ALttP. Should be fun :>

 

[LordAlu]

Been finally getting the chance to put some practice in with Zero Mission recently:

Had two PBs in one day (1) (2)

Also had a four way race with some of the top Zero Mission players in Dragonfangs, mobiusman and samthedigital. I lost it obviously but it was damn good fun and I'll be doing that a lot more often.

Nice run! When's the spotlight on? I might have to catch a VoD being a UKer

 

[Sir Griffith]

So many good games I'll be missing due to work... damn. Looks like I'll be hitting up the archives hard this time!

Who knows though, schedule is all over the place due to time variation.
