AdministrarotDarova, apricots) How young life is? I was missing somewhere again… Well, you know that wife, work, speedruns… And today we’ll talk about the latter. Let’s go! So, today we will talk about how to start speedrunning and talk about my races.
How to start speedrunning?
So, first of all, let’s start with choosing a game. To be honest here you are as free as birds. Choose what you want. But still, I will recommend something: Super Mario Bros, Celeste, Lego Worlds, Toy story 3: The video game, The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker, Super Mario World. You can also watch Rom Hack Super Mario Bros, Super Mario World. Regarding the recorder and timer, I use OBS and LiveSplit. Both of these programs must be opened as an administrator, otherwise OBS may not capture video. Well, then speedrun ahead! If you have any other questions, ask in the comments.
My speedruns
I started speedrunning in the https://nonukgamblingsites.co.uk/irish-casinos/ summer. Then I played my favorite Toy Story 3: The video game on psp. She sunk into my soul and I really wanted to speedrun. Thus, soon seeing her at speedrun.com everything went and went. I was eager to speedrun the last level (since there was at least some kind of competition there). And in two days I achieved second place and was almost at the world record. But one glitch haunted me, I couldn’t do it. And he was in the world record. If I learned how to do it, I would make a world record. Maybe someday I’ll return to this. Well, then I had a big break from speedrunning. Then, returning from these wanderings, I started running other levels. One of them was at the level of the PC version, and took 2nd place in its speedrun. But due to the fact that I had an old computer and the downloads took much longer, I fell short of the world record. If you remember, during this long break there was a spark of speedrun. At that time I was a big fan of retro games (Nes and Snes).
I tried a lot of games and tried Mega Man X once. What a music, what a Run and gun. Looking at the speedruns of this game I wanted to do the same. So I took a step towards wasting the whole game. For a month, once a week (sometimes twice), I had training. But everything was more complicated than I thought. The thing is that I played on an xbox one gamepad and in order to speedrun the Intro stage I had to quickly press the button. On the snes gamepad you could do this with two fingers, but on my gamepad it was impossible to do this. And what do you think? I pecked with one finger. The reason was that on the xbox one gamepad I couldn’t simultaneously hold down the D-pad and hit the button with both hands. Therefore, I controlled the d-pad with one hand, and pressed the button with the other hand. Well, just on the snes gamepad you could hit the button with one hand and hold down the cross. It was difficult. After 30 minutes of training I was all red, but it was cool. When you do something incredible, it gives you a charge of strength that tells you to go forward. I ran with this light, but it soon went out. And I returned to modern gaming. Thus, while speedrunning Mega Man X, I learned about speedrunners CalebHart42 and Walrus_Prime. I also watched the races for this game.
Further on in my travels, I also speedran another game called Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. I didn’t complete it completely, I just got to the final boss’s castle. And here’s the story. I also ran levels, but my speedruns were not accepted because I was using a PROHIBITED EMULATOR. Therefore, before you speedrun, look at the rules. And this race was rejected by a person under the nickname Oh_Deer, it’s clear from the nickname what kind of person he is, so we won’t stop. We’ll probably end up with speedrunning on our travels. Let’s go back to the present time.
So, I climbed through the outback speedrun.com, I came across a game called Harvest Moon GBC 3. Looking at the any% category, I saw that the world record there is 20-something seconds. I was looking for something like this, so that I could speedrun the whole game without much stress, and that’s the goal of this speedrun. You just need to skip the text and choose the correct answers at breakneck speed. Actually it’s not easy. It’s good that my finger is trained, otherwise it would be bad. And at the same time, a frantic reaction is needed in order to choose the correct answers at breakneck speed. But still, difficulties make speedruns interesting. We’re getting to the point where I recently started speedrunning on my xbox one console.
