Mega man x4 speed run world record pro#
Like, picking a game like say Ocarina of Time for instance, there's so many different things you have to get good at in a game like that, like not just movement tech and stuff but learn all the glitches and stuff you need in the any% route and even if you're doing a glitchless category, you still have to not only become a pro at movement but also become a pro at using all your items and stuff and make sure that like you have all the strats for killing the bosses ASAP down-pat, and stuff like that. As that might not sound exciting to others, and that's fine because a.) I'd be the one watching it, not them, they'd just be watching :P and b.) it's just like the laser-focus on one particular skill that would really appeal to me in terms of speedrunning. It would be pure execution of knowledge of the game and movement, and if I were to get into speedrunning, that's probably the type of thing that would appeal to me most personally. A speedrun of a game like that would pretty much purely be focused exclusively on efficient routing (as in, taking care of stuff in the fastest order possible), efficient movement in general (as in, getting good at moving Conan and the other characters in the games in general and not just doing stuff in the best order but also just wasting as few steps as possible to do it and avoiding bonking into walls/walking passed NPCs and evidence as you're trying to go as fast as possible), and stuff like that. So that is to say, no combat or anything like that. And part of the reason for that would yeah, they're very obscure games, especially in the US, and I feel those would be part of their appeal if I were to speedrun them due to simultaneously exposing people to overlooked games and giving a good tastes for my preferences and tastes in games at the same time.īut why those particular ones to accomplish that? Well, they're basically mystery/adventure games that just advance by talking to people and getting all the information, evidence, and testimony you need to put the pieces of the murder cases of the game together.
Like either The Mechanical Temple Murder Case or Legend of the Treasure of Strange Rock Island (which I'm kinda surprised have entries on period granted, they each only have one run, but I wasn't even expecting their to be a page for either of these games), probably the former.
So if that restriction doesn't exist, just for example purposes, I'd probably pick something like one of the Detective Conan Game Boy games.
but that's just fine if that's their interest of course, and others would pick popular stuff, and it would just be cool to see what type of stuff people would pick either way. Making it some serious "deal with the devil" type thing ruins the fun of this for me a bit, because yeah, some people would pick obscure games to run if that were their choice. Bah, from the thread title, I was hoping this would be a "just for fun, if you could do any game possible, which would you pick?" y'know, to see people's personalities and stuff, but number 3 ruins that, because yeah, I would be someone who would pick something obscure if I were to get into speedrunning because that's legitimately what I would have the most interest in running to begin with (and have the bonus of hopefully introducing people to some cool stuff they have no idea about because while they would be obscure games, they wouldn't be terrible ones).
