Speedrun video games

This brought the WR down from 1h 12m 51s to just 46m 55s. This will probably be a separate category from the old any%.

Apparently, the Japanese community had quietly been working on this and just dropped this massive discovery out of nowhere.

From Noki Doki in the Discord

You use cutscene underflow to replay the right bell Shine spawn cutscene played previously, but since you're on a different map (Ricco/Gelato unlock plaza vs. Shadow Mario chase plaza), the right bell Shine isn't at the same memory address anymore, and the old address (which the cutscene still has) now holds something else, in this case render data for the turbo gate behind the lighthouse.

We can line up that turbo gate at a very precise position on screen so that when trying to spawn the "Shine", the cutscene will read the position as a memory address and run code from wherever we want. The game keeps track of stick angles to check for spins, which is the easiest memory area to manipulate that we know of, so that's where we write the arbitrary code

Another race between Nitram, Ramisme, and Voukras! This time played on v3.1 with the new randomized goal locations in Area 51.

I love Doom speedruns and this playlist is full of them! These were played August 8th to 11th. Unfortunately no Quake or Doom 3 lol.

A 1 second improvement over the previous record by Connor Fitzgerald.

I finally put the theorised "grenadejump off the ogre" strat to the test, and it worked wonders. I did have some issues with the slope in the zombie room, so I decided to find a better alternative - a sliding grenadeboost off the zombie - that turned out to be quicker as well. I also found the last room to be slow in Connor's demo, and figured out quickly that you can bounce a grenade off the pillar, so when the main button gets hit the grenade explodes in front of the zombie just as the wall lowers. A bit rough in some spots, but unless new strats are found this is staying at 29.

Here's a Quake Speedruns Explained video about this record: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekUscpJbIak "RIP My Last Golden-Age Quake Run..."

Correction: This year was Quake's twenty-EIGHTH birthday, not twenty-sixth. I'm getting old...

Quake speedruns are so amazing, I can't believe this game isn't in every single speedrun marathon ever.
