California, USANice! I'd suggest doing the shoulder bash bug/glitch (spamming the shoulder bash button while in the air) on the Robot Dragon fight to finish it super quickly!
Otherwise, very nice :p
Nice!
Changing the language to Japanese was a good idea. I don't know which language would be best, so it'd be fun to experiment .
The reason I started the run when you first gain control of the character is because I didn't know if there were load time differences between the consoles/PC.
As far as the ending time , I didn't think it was really necessary to continue the game after beating the boss since it's just dialogue/running around with no other enemies. I have no idea what the norm is, so we can definitely change it if others want it.
Nice job! I'm glad to see other people speedrunning this game :)
I believe I just mashed both the shoulder bash and basic attack. Not really much finesse needed
Added as a mod, feel free to change things as you see fit, but do keep deathless in there. There may be developments which necessitate that differentiation...? Any% added. Also good luck with your runs!
Let me add that, sorry -- I threw together the categories haphazardly
You're right! I kinda just threw the categories together when I needed to submit a run. The only thing I disagree on is the deathless run category. It's not that difficult to die in this game when you're powered up and take amplified damage from the elemental enemies (two hits from full HP from certain enemies) and I think it should be differentiated. I will add you as a mod!
Thank you for all the advice. I have been taking notes of routes and been doing a lot of testing and learning, some possible useful techniques in the game as well but I'm sure someone will make use of it as soon as the category opens up :)
Appreciate the responses. First time on this site, otherwise I'd give likes to both!
Is there a way to request a game be placed on this site? I can't seem to find a way to contact Mods/the site directly to submit such a request.
Again, appreciate the responses.
Is anyone else interested in this game? It hasn't gained much traction yet (even with it being on Game Pass). From what I have gathered, it is only yet possible to speedrun this game on PC, as I've talked to several other players.
The consensus seems to be this:
PC: No bugs whatsoever -- possibly with Nvidia cards though
Xbox One X:
-Bug filled.
-Lots of "Black Screens of Death" which may or may not resolve themselves.
-Some enemies not dying (in particular, the pirate boss).
-Last Boss (HIM) possibly having a bug which allows you to crouch attack him until he dies inevitably.
PS4:
No bugs found yet PS5:
-Unsure; not enough information gathered yet.
Switch:
-Software issues that force a restart.
Is there a requirement for a game to not have bugs in order to speedrun them? I usually play on Xbox One X, and having a "no bugs" category might be a fun, memey one to have, at least until they are hopefully patched out.
If not, will PC be the norm as it seems to be very stable?
