Any other speedrunners?
« on: December 18, 2013, 16:57:10 »
As the title says.

Not promoting my channel or anything but if anyone's curious I've taken on some of Drakkan's levels (these are definitely not the best times, I'm still trying to get sub 15 in Training Grounds)

I enjoy watching speed runs rather than doing them (I've recorded a run of the Tutorial level, but that's it). Will watch yours later :)

I like to watch speedruns, but I miss the sound. :(

Sound lags the game slightly so I tend to have it off (although it's a very small difference).

Watched Training Grounds and there were very few real mistakes: the rest was generally due to bad RNG luck or not very significant. I think it's a very good run.

For your sanity, I think you should try running more predictable levels. Drakkan's levels are good, but a bit unpolished in terms of layout, which makes speed-running less enjoyable in my opinion.

Oh yeah? http://www.twitch.tv/theunoriginalname/c/3425680

But yeah "for your own sanity"... this level took me months and months of attempts to do.

I've watched the Training Grounds 14:42, it's very good. Why do you always jump? You've wasted time on 8:08-15 running left before jumping.
I've done a speedrun of Machine in ball mode: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61ps0O6iuGM

That's kind of a hard jump and I was lining it up. I jump because it's generally faster.

Watched Frozen Mountain 2 as well: I can't remember the level very well (I also don't have KSEx), but it's another very good run. I liked the part inside the pyramid, very impressive; too bad you messed up a bit towards the end.

Yeah I mean the FM2 run is definitely not perfect and it can be improved, I'll be working on it.

Try LPChip's Learning to Jump. My personal best is 7 minutes 21 seconds, but that was nowhere near flawless.
I've never meta pun I didn't like.

I'd love to see a good speedrun of Learning to Jump. :)

I've done The Machine secret ending in ball mode of KS Ex. I think it's nearly perfect: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVsdZgdDGyM&list=PLBu9g7ZvRAXQFdLyiJepulB54SjK0rMS8&index=2
It continues from where normal ending speedrun left off (that is, with no Umbrella, no Hologram and no keys). I've also reuploded that speedrun in 60fps HD with mostly fixed audio syncing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bE29aiK2Xk&list=PLBu9g7ZvRAXQFdLyiJepulB54SjK0rMS8&index=1
