I don't do things quickly enough or in the most efficient ways. I also don't really enjoy speedrunning since you miss getting a lot out of the game when you go too quickly. I feel I am somewhat in the same boat, even if I tried to speed run a game something would in the end slow me down. I tend to get distracted by things I see in a game and because of that, I would instantly slow down to check things out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenfreak Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 I've been thinking about speed running either Generation 1 of Pokemon or maybe one of the Genesis Sonic titles. I probably will start with a glitchless run, especially since Sonic requires some pixel perfect skips to get zips to work. With Pokemon it's a lot more RNG manipulation and specifically following certain paths and catching specific Pokemon. I just don't really have too much time to practice speedrunning currently.

The Blackangel Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 I have never speed run a game, and have no plans to. It's just not something that interests me at all. I like to take my time with my games. Goofy challenges are fun to watch on YouTube, but speedrunning bores me. For example, I watched a video sometime last year of a guy who played and beat Ocarina Of Time without ever picking up a single rupee. If he did accidentally (sometimes it's just unavoidable), he would restart from his last save point. I don't remember how he got the Deku Shield without having the 40 rupees it cost, but it was intriguing to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, I even make up my own unique challenges. Speedruns are so pointless... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 I think there was also someone who, instead of running, tried backflipping everywhere. I don't remember if any of it worked out for them, but considering how OoT is designed, I highly doubt they got very far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
