Idaho, USAHi, all!
There's a good chance you've seen it already in Speedrun news, but therun.gg is an awesome tool for speedrunners and tracking data and stuff. I've been loving using it, and I'd highly recommend everyone trying it out!
You can manually upload your splits or even install the Livesplit integration that does it for you.
Hi there!
I've been working on a run and have a couple of questions.
When should the timer technically be started? Should it end right when the credits start playing?
and is there a reason that PC version isn't listed as an option? That would be easiest for me to record, though I could probably make it work with my PS5.
Thanks!
Hey all!
So recently, someone pointed out on one of my YT videos that in NewGame+ you can just walk past the Joker and get to the gas mixing in the final level, which is a decent time save there!
The same concept applies for the Trenchcoat Plant fight in Plant Electrocution 2 - we were originally getting an intentional death to despawn the mayor, but instead, you can just hop up to the walkway and walk past him.
Kind of a facepalm moment for me, honestly! Like, duh, in NewGame+ you have all the keys for doors already so of course you should be able to get through those doors haha.
I think those are the two relevant skips related to that, but I'll post here and in the Discord if I think of anything else.
Hi all, I didn't realize until just now that the Discord link was invalid (not sure how that happened) - but it should be updated now!
Here's a copy too, just in case: https://discord.gg/J9yqVkeTQf
Hi everyone! My name is Joe, and I’m the new mod around these here parts. I just wanted to take a second to introduce myself and talk a bit about the future of this board.
Batman: Vengeance, as silly as it is, is one of my favorite games ever. I didn’t start trying to speedrun it until right around the beginning of the pandemic, but once I did I was hooked! It’s a fun run and I think it has a lot of potential.
I had to take a break from practicing during a lengthy moving process, but I kept thinking about the game and how we could continue to flesh out the rules and such.
I sent a bunch of ideas out in the Discord, offering to help in any way I could, and our awesome mod let us know that he’d had a kid recently and was looking to step back completely for the time being - asking me to take his place. Shoutouts to Lu-I, and congratulations on your new child! We’re all wishing you the best.
Over the next few weeks I’ll be fleshing out the rules and information on this board, reworking the Discord a bit, and of course I’ll be working on my run!
This is a very small (but growing!) community, and I imagine the rules will evolve over time as we grow. I’m pulling from other games and discussions had amongst our few runners right now, and I think we’ll end up in a solid place. If you have ideas, feedback, or whatever - I’m all ears! We’ll build this up together as a community.
Feel free to reach out to me here, on Twitter, or in our Discord any time if you have any questions about the game and the run! Depending on work, it might take a day or so to get back to you but I’ll reply as soon as I can.
That’s all for now - see you in Gotham City!
