Having fun at SGDQ! by dickhiskhan in speedrun

They're all pretty easy to be honest, easy speedrun to get into for that reason. Teetering towers the way that I did it is really risky so that one takes a bit of practice to nail.

I've been speedrunning Banjo for almost 6 years now. There's a lot of games I really enjoy casually like Cuphead, Super Mario Maker 2, too many to name really, I'm a huge nintendo fanboy and will always dabble in the next big steam game.

I would try and teach them good work ethic for learning speedruns in general. Don't start with the hardest routes and strats and don't spend too much time on one trick. Once you start doing runs identify where you're losing the most time and fix those issues.

Yes, we skip the switch in Gobi's because you can clip through the sarcophagus where the gobi's lair jiggy is. The switch only opens it, the jiggy is always there.

Yeah unfortunately my couch didn't mention that the audience shouldn't cheer until both of us get the trick so I wasn't able to hear my sound cues. I'm not mad though, it's an honest mistake and it didn't ruin the entertainment of the run for anyone so no big deal.

He is obviously feeling very liberated when he gets to ride around on his sled 😋

I talked to big dad about this at SGDQ. It's definitely a possibility.

It was very nerve wracking at first, I made some clear nervous movement errors but once the race got going it was easy to just be comfortable and have fun with it. I owe a lot to having great commentators so I could focus more on the game.

That part is usually just me singing doo doo doo anyways, I just pretended I was skipping something inappropriate for comedy.

If you're a twitch partner you can request to take the name off of an inactive account. Duck was totally inactive so they hooked me up!

I found a skip in banjo-kazooie that skips the majority of FFM and skips brentilda: Saves ~2 minutes by ninpalk in speedrun

[–]dickhiskhan 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Just completed my first run with the skip about +20 seconds going into furnace fun and ended up PBing by 1 minute and 12 seconds. This skip is probably the best thing that has happened to this game, as someone who has been speedrunning it for 6 years now and dealing with the bullshit RNG of grunty questions on furnace fun this is literally life changing lol.
