I completely get you, there's one small game which I run, but it's inactive, would be nice to have competition :D
One game I'm trying to learn and hopefully find some time to speedrun at some point is Borderlands 2, since that's one of my favourite games of all time :)
I discovered this game many years ago and decided to start running it again as it's pretty fun, however, it could use more players! The game is free, quick and easy to install, you can find it in the resources tab on the game page: https://www.speedrun.com/robocat :P
My run got accepted in about 2 days, so the mods are still pretty active and I'd be happy to answer any questions here or on the game forum :)
Hello! I would suggest a fun Mega Man themed retro game called Robocat, it's free and it could use more runners. You can complete a run in around 5 minutes. https://www.speedrun.com/robocat You can find the download in the resources tab, quick and easy to install 🙂
Hey there! I would suggest a fun Mega Man themed retro game called Robocat, it's free and it needs more runners. Currently, only me and one other person have played it, but you can complete a run in around 5 minutes. https://www.speedrun.com/robocat You can find the download in the resources tab, very quick to install :)
I found it didn't work for me either, I had to get a monitor capture which sucks :P
There must have been someone who's done at least a challenge which requires a different starter for a speedrun, there are many more categories such as randomizers and such, maybe not official but they're still done and I've seen many done across Twitch from different speedrunners. Different strats and routes are being worked at this point much more than before, especially with RTA now being a thing but I don't think Mudkip as a starter will change for those games. You can try to contact Pokemon RSE speedrunners though and see what their response will be :)
It depends which game, for some consoles, emulators are completely banned but for certain games, emulators are allowed, they can sometimes be hidden off the main leaderboard however, like with later Pokemon games for example. It's best to research the game you're looking at and find out :)
I use OBS for recording and streaming, it's really easy and organised :)
