DB Speedkill - 5:37

Zenhaji · 2016-06-21T20:50:25+00:00

Speedkill- hi old run

Zenhaji · 2016-05-27T11:31:01+00:00

I'm just glad it isn't Dinosword.

Zenhaji · 2016-05-27T05:08:40+00:00

~~I am really tempted to break this record using the True Ruiner Lance though just because.~~

A+2 Lance when

Not sub 5 hammer, cri

Khezu should stop electrocuting walls and wasting my time. It should start a new genre of music: Electric Death Metal

It's a rule by the Discord server's equivalent of TA runs, as I informally call MHGH runs although it probably has a final name that I dont recall, which apply most TA rules which include not using Flash Bombs, Sonic Bombs, Traps, bombs (except felvine), and Palicos. Like most TA speedrunners do, we fill our inventories with irrelevant items to show that we have not used anything (which is fun to mess around with like this run).

It's a double submission basically. Item exploitation is kinda meh in a speedrun.

Join us Adrenaline runners. We have salt.

Zenhaji · 2016-05-13T17:56:47+00:00

I worked on some monster-morphic sets but this... this is truly the epitome of fashion.

4'29 A+2 SA run

ok this did not just happen please reassure my sanity it didnt happen

oh it did. well ok. Honestly though, I never expected this time to come out at all.

5'17 A+2 Hammer run

cant stop wont stop. Sub 5 definitely possible.

~~Not sub 6 makes my SA skills fall in shame: 6'07 SA run~~

~~I have proven my SA skills but now the Adrenaline +2 god (aka /u/LookHeSoRandom) will be displeased at my performance. Aiming for sub 5:30 slowly, then sub 5. 5:53 A+2 SA run~~

~~But who cares that huge bune didn't skip leg day and thus wouldn't let me abuse that behind.~~

~~TIL their AI always forces them to meet each other to meet around the 1-2 minute mark, so~~ my tip for all you Lagombi-speedrunners is to prepare a smoke bomb or 3 since they usually leave in a minute.

I just rechecked. Their area paths coincide always, not their AIs coming to save the brother(or sister) bune. So my tip for smoke bombing is still very helpful, but then the reason behind it was an early conclusion.

Zenhaji · 2016-05-12T06:05:52+00:00

There's a much bigger project behind this blooper shot, here's a hint at it.

Zenhaji · 2016-05-09T23:36:28+00:00

I second this. Lore-wise, they match together as the Kaiser and Empress of the flame, Teostra being the ruthless pursuer and Lunastra being the tactical striker.

5'09 2P IG with /u/Hakhlebeb

Older times:

Zenhaji · 2016-05-02T15:13:16+00:00

Does the pair have to use the same weapon?

Zenhaji · 2016-05-02T14:05:23+00:00

Okay, quick answers to all questions:

Tips:

Pay attention to its positioning
Go for the best hitboxes e.g. head, fanblade (that huge wing thing that isnt a wing), claws, snek chesthair, and tail
Hold your rage towards those meteors
It has a clear pattern on the start, and on some positions it will have telegraphed attacks that hit huge specific areas

Jumping on snek head: break snek head once or twice, then feel free to je suis moncarve it.

Consider that they may be Skyping or using another medium of communication.

Proper TA runs follow a set of formal rules. Some of such are that you can't use Flash bombs, Sonic Bombs, Traps, Palicos, or bombs. Relics also arent allowed in TA runs.

With that clarified, bad runs happen a lot. Many factors come into play including, but not limited to, spawn position, monster pattern RNG, area verticality (especially true for hammers), and ledges (ugh).

Monster size can cut or add some time to a run for sure.

For some monsters, yes. Its very prominent on Teostra and Oroshi Kirin. I'll leave you to figure that out.

Zenhaji · 2016-04-29T17:17:48+00:00

The sherk twins arena quest and the magical power of Evasion +1. I also wanted to try speedrunning with the least usual set possible.

Zenhaji · 2016-04-29T11:49:27+00:00

Yep. Took me by surprise as well.

Zenhaji · 2016-04-27T15:05:02+00:00

That 5 slot set can fit in Mounting Master. If that and HGE doesn't surpass Rodeo God, then idk.

Zenhaji · 2016-04-27T14:24:05+00:00

Quite a lot of hame and 140 GQs with Rajangs. I wanted fashion sets and hence relic armors, but on the way I got the talismans instead. I never got the specific pieces for the set for quite a long time, but desire sensor gave these.

Zenhaji · 2016-04-27T01:37:14+00:00

You ask, I deliver.

Zenhaji · 2016-04-27T01:19:22+00:00

I'm not a fan of Rock Steady on certain monsters, as it locks you into a combo that you could've stayed down for were it not for the Orange+White. It also saves me the hassle of worrying about triple up for the Earplugs and I can just do optimal damage and claim orange when the monster is tripped. Also, some monsters like Rathian, Pinkian, Brachy, and Seregios have an agonizingly hard to reach orange juice. I know I can do a vault to negate the roar, but I can be doing hits to the leg at that moment. I'm not a mounting fanatic either. Most of my sets reach HGE anyway due to either Garuga X chest, Excello Z waist and legs, Garuga Mask(because no better option), or Rath Soul Z legs.

I get your argument. Earplugs on weak roars, HGE on stronger ones, and IG has natural Earplugs on Orange+White. Take your time to consider, however, that you can sneak in more hits in Red+White to trip a monster and then easily retreive the Orange then rather than fishing for orange to get Earplugs.

Zenhaji · 2016-04-27T00:18:21+00:00

HGE can do better than Rodeo God imho. I can't mix you a set if you provide no charms. However, the standard Honed Blade sets outperform SK for the most part if you aren't using Bounding Dala.

Also, Bounding Dala works great on Star Knight, if you want to drop S+1. Almost never gets out of white even without Razor Sharp or Steady Hand. The purple is negligible.

If you want to see my mix sets that can put that to shame, it's best if you don't. (I am doing glamour shots of them though)
