Yo, so i was just thinking about some general things we as a community could do in order to build up a solid speedrunning community.
Submitting some times for 1 character runs (any%/normal) would be sweet. I'm currently the only one that has any runs uploaded (understandable because of the patch) but i think we should try to add in a bunch of times, even if they're not super great. This will help us grow as a community as more people will be interested in running the game when they see that its community is being active. I mean most of my times are subpar, go and beat my world records guys!
Im currently trying to stream runs around 5 days a week and hopefully get some more people interested in running this game. If anybody else has any ideas for promoting this game, just hit me up! I want to make the speedrunning community of this game as big as possible.
I do see alot of potential in EtG runs, mainly because of its vast difference in runs. There's so many factors of RNG that play in, making RNG a viable resource to emphasize the greatness in the speedrunning of the game. (Shops, Guns, Chests, Quick/Slow room layouts, Jammed enemies, Statues etc.)
There's also alot of execution as this game is pretty hard, but once you learn the patterns of enemies things become significantly easier.
I hope you guys will continue to run this game, as i am having a ton of fun with it. Don't see myself dying out on this anytime soon, since there are loads of characters and many different runs to be had.
Yeah, seeded runs would definitely promote races. On that point it does seem like tons of fun. Whenever that comes out im up for some races if anyone wants to do em. Eventually setting up a Enter The Gungeon discord might be a cool thing aswell.
I could do individual character runs. It beats losing 4 character record because 4 D tier guns in a row like happened last time.
I put a link to the leaderboards in my newest video, I'll try to remember to do that for all of them and suggest others do the same.
Just started speedrunning ETG myself.
I'll add a link to the leaderboards for the video I just submitted, too! Thanks for the suggestion.
Hey - Just started running in general, let alone EtG. Would it be possible to make an All Rooms/Lost Adventurer category? I can see locked rooms being an issue, but it'll open up an entire set of runs.
@LudicSavant - Great run!
@TenNewKeys - Don't know how I feel about this. It's pretty much the opposite of going fast. Including Oubliette and/or Abbey could be a nice twist while maintaining the core playstyle, but I doubt that'll receive much attention. Same with completing the Bullet That Can Kill The Past as a speedrun.
I did a 6 character max% speedrun once, losing crest one time and the game crashing out on Bullet once. It was a less fun category than I thought it would be, and it was almost entirely due to that damned crest. It was a damned long slog, that's what it was.
Sorry, should've specified single-character. You're just silly going for 6 in a row. :>
I did it casually once but there's obviously a big difference I imagine.
