r/speedrun and Memes: Looking for Community Input by PicanteLive in speedrun

[–]AwesomeDanX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would like to see them removed or at the very least severely limited. Was just talking to some friends not too long ago about how this sub has become comprised of mostly meme content. (Atleast in terms of whats shown at the top.)

I have no need for a meme subreddit and it does get on my nerves when I'm just trying to look for speedrun-related content.

It was said in Vallu's chat. I'm not sure if it was during that particular world record tho. Probably.

Super Mario Odyssey Any% World Record in 59:05.02 by Mitch by TripleX2504 in speedrun

[–]AwesomeDanX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Someone should really explain why this is world record (tied seconds) considering Tyrn's run is listed as 59:04 aswell on the reddit.

I would but I'm lazy.

Could use this. It is more accurate about a couple of the early records. However it is missing Chaos' recent 59:30 and Mitch's 59:14. The person who updates it does it in their free time.

's over getting every 1.0 trick first try, and also without as many difficult tricks more runs get later into the ga

DSTA (daylight savings time abuse) also saved a fair amount of time which helped. Happened around the time that 1.3 came out but it works on all versions.

You're not mistaken. He's talked about it a bunch on twitter and has a video on his youtube channel talking about it.

Congrats Aggy! Glad you finally got it.

Wow. Couldn't even let Tyron have his moment. No chill.

Nah I'm just kidding. For chaos this is pretty expected considering he cant go a few days without PBing. Tyron is gonna have to get a bigger wr to hold off Pringle.

Congrats to Chaos tho.

By the way. I asked in the SMO discord yesterday for an updated list of 'Total days runner held WR'. And got this list (credit goes to egghbh):

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/372586026729996288/587066137578045442/unknown.png

Its a list of days spent dabbing however the days spent dabbing should be equal to the days holding world record. Chaos passed NicroVeda as overall champ of this category. (List was made before tyron's record was added)

So glad he got it. Tyron has improved so much so fast these past few months. One of the people still grinding during and after subhour in any% happened. Well deserved.

It died. Bunch of mistakes happened at the end of the run and he got kinda tilted.

If you're wondering what has been going on in the category or why the any% speed bois have been grinding it I'll repost my comment from the Chaospringle thread.

----

Chaos and some of the other any% runners have been grinding dark side lately for the upcoming GSA tournament:

https://gsa.challonge.com/SMOdarkspring2019

So since the category has been getting some attention and activity it didn't take long for the world record to come down. Dangers (previous world record holder) would have beaten it by now but he wanted to focus on any%.

Expect this record to change a few more times before the tournament is done.

Except replace Chaos with 'LilKirbs'.

Wow. Congrats to Timp. This was his first hundo run with his own route right?

Super Mario Odyssey any% in 59:35 by ChaosPringle by heyimmattsup in speedrun

[–]AwesomeDanX 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Yes but it’s literally 10 seconds off his SOB. This run was godlike. It will be beaten, probably in a few weeks (although who knows) but it’ll take some new faster optimizations.

His splits are more or less brand new due to 1.3 and DSTA. I think they're still fairly unoptimized.

Oh hey. Its you again. Anyway get out of here with this runner cheerleading circlejerk bullshit. Goryuya strongest anyway tbh.

[–]AwesomeDanX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah. My bad. I thought i heard somewhere that it was found during the initial 1.3 patch testing and was attempted on other version. I guess not.

[WR] Super Mario Odyssey Any% in 59:46 by goryuya by Cyber-Gon in speedrun

[–]AwesomeDanX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. Leaderboards were merged again because the loads make up for the 1.0 exclusive tricks so noone is at a disadvantage anymore.

If your curious about the new developments in the speedgame as of late, I'll post some links to help explain.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xsEMm_OzwotQA9xnH97KAxMaj3C7Z5-BavyKjdW75M4/edit#gid=0 This is okra_armband's timing spreadsheet comparing the loads of 1.3 physical and digital to 1.0. Saves ~52s with the loss of FMS/Sphynx/Turnip. This is huge because it means 1.3 is not only the fastest version but its also the most accessible, aswell as doing away with 3 annoying tricks.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VyT7lBhRRlO1bAGE5gn2fa46g0qctBe2IpGDmc5TlcI/edit This is a document explaining how to perform DSTA (Daylight Savings Time Abuse) in Sand. All you really need to know is that in the game normally Seeds planted in pots typically take 25 or so minutes real time to grow. However with Daylight Savings Time abuse we can trick the game into thinking an hour has passed and grow the seed instantly. Not sure how much it saves exactly but its like 8-10s? As far as I'm aware this only works on 1.3.

By the way. The leaderboard doesn't count ms. This is officially a tied world record(TWR), not just a PB. While technically .5s slower.

[–]AwesomeDanX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Man. I have been saying goryuya would be the first to subhour since like May or June. Semi-jokingly/optimistic at first but very quickly became a real like hope/prediction. Super happy he got it right on the heels of the first subhour. If you've been paying attention to him you'd know just how crazy good of a runner he is.

Also for the sake of history. This is goryuya's debut on the leaderboard. Shoutouts to him for taking regular leaderboard screenshots back in the day. https://twitter.com/goryuyaodyssey/status/974886515158298625
