California, USAIf we are talking fast any% glitchy runs. No conversation is complete without mentioning Strider (NES).
TASing isn't Speedrunning. You obviously have no idea on what you are talking about and the communities at large don't need some nobody like you trying to bridge them together. It's really simple play by the rules of the established community (In this case the NES one that has been around for what 12+ years?) or don't. It's not hard to ask people in the scene before you what the rules are.
This guy wasn't even trying to do a TAS run. He used a save state (And edited it out of his runs) to give him perfect RNG seed manipulation so he can easily go for the oldest unbeaten NES record. It's a scummy move, one that cannot be done on a NES console and should never be allowed. Your "devils advocate" argument is weak. If you want to TAS go to the tasvideos site you linked; they would love to have more people that are into that stuff.
(Edit: On second thought please don't go to tasvideos. I would hate for them to subjected to an unbearable twat like yourself.)
Hey, Yoco! There are two tutorials made by two of the top runners of this game. Here is Shining Dragoon's and his is broken down into parts and goes over movement, controls, etc.
Skav's is in one go and I think is a bit less in detail, but also a really good one especially if you are just looking for the general flow of the run. It seems he doesn't have it up anymore though sadly.
Anyways, glad to see a new runner! Join the discord here. https://discord.gg/jjp6v My only suggestion is wait on learning the Area 7 Skips until you get solid at the game and have a solid time. They will just frustrate you early on.
Hey, Bacon!
This game has been a blast to play. I always had Arcade Cadash in my list of games to try out as a speedrun, but when I watched Toad play the TG-16 version and saw how it just looked faster and more fluid to play I had to give it a spin. Your time is solid with the strats known at that time I wouldn't sweat it. I know the struggle of trying to optimize a game solo. Without people to help collaborate it can be tough to look at things in a different perspective. I had your run and being able to watch Toad to start off with a solid base.
Sorry to hear you won't be playing I was hoping you would come out of retirement with all the new stuff that has been discovered and I could get a chance to watch you play, but I understand your reasons. It would be cool to see the other classes be routed out though.
For the Village Boost I had about 4-5 savestates with the wraith in differing positions. At first I was trying to jump off the vine and to get hit by either the wraith or lighting to boost up there, but saw that you would need to be able to jump off the vine higher to make it happen. So I tried just jumping and aimed to get hit at the peak of the jump next to the cliff and sure enough that was the ticket to make it happen. You can see the last bit of my thought process in this vod.
We still need to find a proper setup for it since it's pure hell to make it happen, but I'm sure something will come around. Do you know if the Wraiths port to locations by pure rng or is it influenced by frames or their positioning? That would be a huge help.
Anyways take it easy man glad you get to see the game you started get pushed down to almost it's limit. It's looking like low 21/high 20 is the end game time from what I see.
If you want a 8 star category it would be a 1cc one. Since the main runs have everyone abusing infinite continues there is no point in a 8 star challenge category if you or other people decide to also abuse them. If you are interested in doing an 8star 1cc though let me know I will put it in.
No, Strider? More people need to experience the pai...pure joy that is SMS Strider!
Rapid fire is not allowed. It takes away a huge part of the Strider series which is mashing like a mad man.
Hello,
I'm learning the first two worlds for the Big 20 and I am not exactly sure what is going on with the clip in the cave. I saw in another post about a slope clip where you need to do a 1 frame jump. Is it the same principal here or is there something else I am missing?
I would pm coolkid on twitch and see what he says. I consider him to be the authority on NES Strider. If using the Australia door trick is a valid tactic then that route is still dead you can just get disc 2 in kaz, death abuse, go to Australia and finally Red Dragon shaving off a lot of pointless trips in that guys route.
So I have caught a few streams of new runners playing this game and have let them know already, but I am posting this here to let everyone else know during a in-game cutscene you can press and hold attack and it will make them complete faster. This will help with your RTA's even though I still prefer and believe IGT is the more accurate measure for runs.
Right on, if it's there then the problem is solved. Yeah let me know when you stream normally and I will try and catch it.
Orsa also made one recently and it covers some slight differences you will experience if you decide to run PS1 over XC.
Thank you, for that response. I apologize if my posts had an aggressive edge to them. Like you and the others I think this game is blast to play so when all of a sudden my run is gone and then later on people come in saying this is how it's going to be it left a sour taste.
I personally don't care about my time, let's be honest 53:55 (pos Sigma) is not a good time. I got interested in this game from watching Souless_Gouki and now that these rules are in effect it sucks to see him and obviously other good runners whose times have been around for a year or so basically not exist, but it is what it is. While I do hang out in Cyber's/8bit's channels sometimes and their antics and those of their chat don't bother me at all I personally can't go full in like they do it's not my thing, lol.
Now that I see the history of this whole thing it makes sense so I am cool with it and will adapt to the changes. So again I do apologize and let's all just run this game and have fun.
That's it lurkers drama's over. Go back to /r/speedrun or the new /r/speedruncelebrities/ for your daily dose of drama.
So random question what kind of monitor are you rocking and can you screenshot what your option settings screen looks like?
Zewing, if you want to talk trash at least type it to my face. I have been pretty civil about the whole thing like my verified run getting deleted with no explanation 2 days before your and Izraill's first posts. Believe me I have not yet even gotten into huge dick levels.
Again, I extended the olive branch in my previous post and said lets start back on square one and I meant it. So I have a clean slate because I can not be petty so we will wait and see what you do on your end.
Cool, at least Izraill addressed my concern without being a douche about it. ;)
Anyways lets all start from square one and is there a wiki or forum that shows how to fix the frame choppiness and audio crackling of Xebra? My rig might not be top of the line anymore, but I think an I7, 8gbs of ram and a 970gtx should be able to handle a PS1 emulator, one that was a pain to find a current version of.
So, I noticed that console only runs are the default for the boards atm and was wondering if this was just a placeholder as we go through changes or do you plan on sticking with that? I really think emu and consoles should be the default as that would not hide anyone's runs and make this a inclusive community rather than an exclusive one that is starting to smack of elitism.
Or as, Crak, put it. "There is no reason to alienate emu runners from the leaderboards, they are part of the X6 community as well."
Just my opinion on what I have seen so far.
