What is your speedrunning style?

When do you choose to reset, when do you think a run is worth finishing?

I ask because my preferred way of speedrunning tends to be different to other people: the first few runs I prefer never to reset. After that, once I have a semi-okay sum of best, I speedrun until my "best possible time" is worse than my PB. If that happens, I am okay with resetting, unless I know there's a big gold coming up. This means (in theory) that 99% of my runs make it past the first quarter of the run every single time, but it also means I have smaller PBs. This personally makes speedrunning much more fun to me, rather than resetting because I missed a trick in the first split. Obviously this wouldn't be applicable at WR-level to a game like SMB1 where missing a frame rule is an automatic reset, or when your runs are so optimized that a death is automatically a reset.

(I say "in theory" because I do tend to reset if I'm moody and therefore more prone to getting angry, lol)

Hi. I am making this thread to post the two invite links. I have changed the invite link for DKC2GBA to be the official DKC Speedrunning Discord Server: https://discord.gg/m6s2dQX

But for preservation, I am also posting an invite to the DKC GBA Discord Server: https://discord.com/invite/PTvHU2S

I will also continue using the latter server for TAS-related stuff, as there is a #tas-science channel there. That's all, thanks!

Hello. I am interested in trying to speedrun this game for the heck of it, but the only problem is that the rules of the categories do not state when the timing is supposed to start and when it ends, and the current world record does not have any video.

When does timing start and end? (Quand est-ce que le temp commence et quand est-ce que c'est finis?) (My French sucks but just in case you (the mod, Sausty) don't understand English, adding the question in French as well lol. Feel free to respond in French, I don't care, I can read but not write.)

edit; by the looks of it, you understand English just fine (:

Dude these forums are so inactive there's literally no point to keeping them open. Last post was AN ERROR HAS OCCURED
