This thread is for people who would like to race other speedrunners, particularly on SpeedRunsLive (sorry if there is a place for these requests, but I can't find it for the life of me)

This is the first game I have been trying to compete in speedrunning, and while it has been enjoyable, the long cutscenes and the few timesave opportunities is making it become kinda dull (been focusing primarily on easy-mode knife run after normal got taken out)

I think racing another runner will revitalize my interest in my runs. Any takers for knife-only easy? (Caelm?? My last try was 2 seconds behind yours (: )

You are talking about speedrunning in live streaming at the same time ?

32nd for the console willing to live race

United Kingdom

I'm not sure when you're thinking of doing it, but I'd be up for it, I can do NG easy (1st) or NG+ which I did like two runs for before but I can practice it if it's what you'd prefer. I'd even learn new categories which, well I'm currently doing anyway mainly for madhouse.

My only issue is at the moment I can't stream very smoothly at all or in any good quality. In the next month I'm aiming to get a capture card and use my other laptop so I can steam and eventually build a new or anyway so depends when you want to do it, but I'm in

England

i'm kinda surprised people aren't racing this game already considering how many people apparently run it

I only know NG+ Easy and have never touched another category but yeah why not I could stand to race sometime.

Thanks for the replys. I already feel motivation to practice runs I wouldn't have tried!

Interested parties should check out the discord, post there (or here) what youd be willing to race, and then dm an opponent.

@ UKViixen: Thanks for the link. I'll become more active in the discord @ Caelm: Yes. Have you ever seen racing at speedrunslive.com? Very popular, and you can look at both racers on one page. Unfortunately you need to actually RACE someone before you can link speedruns on there, so I have been unable to showcase my speedruns on that site :/

Nice, I'm new in the speedrunning community, I don't know about speedrun lives, the requirement etc ^^

Racing in Knife only interrests me.

The requirements for streaming (and racing) on speedrunslive.com is to race someone for an hour. Then you can link your stream. I think you require a twitch account? Maybe you can do it through youtube but im not sure.

Ok, basically I stream through Youtube ( 1 000 subs on youtube VS 10 on Twitch xD )

I suggest you download the app. Much nicer than skype IMO, and requires less memory.
