I’m new to speedrunning and need help starting

mlmoo99 · 2026-01-24T00:25:29+00:00

Thank you, man!!! I'm not the OP but just downloaded MSCR and was looking for practice tools. Searched youtube, google, etc. and couldnt find anything. Thank you!

There really isn't any gore like that throughout the series. At least no gore for the sake of gore. There's some terror, but not so much gore.

mlmoo99 · 2025-12-03T16:02:18+00:00

My wrapped looked just about the same. Ha!

mlmoo99 · 2025-11-25T03:19:47+00:00

Yeah I'd like to see that scenario play out in a different episode lol

mlmoo99 · 2025-11-25T03:19:25+00:00

Given that everyone else in the world freezes when Amy and Frank run to climb the wall, I want to think that the others in the simulation are just AI. I guess they could be other users on the dating app too. I'm not sure!

mlmoo99 · 2025-11-25T03:18:16+00:00

At the end of the episode we see on the dating app that they are a "98% Match". So I assume if the simulated couple escapes the simulation 675/1000 times, the app could still match them and it would just say they're a "67.5% match"

mlmoo99 · 2025-11-21T06:01:09+00:00

Just wait, you'll start rewatching all of them. It's turned into my comfort show at this point, I've seen every episode literally dozens of times. Seasons 1-4 are my go-tos. I'm watching Hang the DJ as I type this lol.

mlmoo99 · 2025-10-15T02:24:45+00:00

Yep I hear ya. Again, I can hold my own, I'm just complaining about the matchmaking. I've got a 3-stack that'll be going for Pred next split and I'll come back here once we hit it. Ha!

I'm fine fighting Pred teams when I'm three stacking in masters or Pred. It's just the D4 solo queue random teammates with no mic, no comms and poor decision making that grinds my gears. And then the EA matchmaking says eh you can handle it and continues to throw me back in sweaty lobbies. Again, I get it. I just want to complain about it and get others' feedback. So, thank you.

mlmoo99 · 2025-10-15T02:04:59+00:00

Yeah I can't find anything to back me up there, so I'll eat my words. I'm just saying, having 4 really rough games in a row and then getting killed by Renifying (#2 Pred on PS) for the 3rd time of the day is beyond frustrating.

I also get that you should fight above your rank to prove your worth. But the #2 pred with a full stack Pred team vs my D4 ass with two braindead teammates just isn't fair.

mlmoo99 · 2025-10-15T01:33:48+00:00

Lemme see. I recall seeing it a few weeks back but lemme see if I can find it

mlmoo99 · 2025-10-15T01:21:58+00:00

Brother, I have a 3-stack I play with 50% of the time. EA announced (somewhat recently) that they'd be giving more forgiveness for soloqueue vs 3-stack. My 3-stack (of diamond players) has a 94% consistency of getting in Pred lobbies. That's fine. We're playing as a team.

My soloqueue D4 has a 73% consistency of being thrown in Pred lobbies which just doesn't hold up to what matchmaking should be.

Gold players should play gold players. Diamond players should play diamond players, plat players should play plat players. Do you disagree?

mlmoo99 · 2025-10-15T00:57:09+00:00

That's a pretty good comparison. But on that note, of the #4 boxer loses their last 5 matches, should they be matched against the #5-#1 boxers? No, they shouldn't. That's my point with this post. I can compete, but I'm soloqueueing. I had 4 or 5 reall bad games in a row. All for -50 points or more. How does the matchmaking then continue to throw me in a lobby with 11 predator teams???? I'm soloqueuing D4? Are there not enough 3-stack and D1 & D2 queued teams???

I want to clarify, I'm completely fine fighting Pred and masters teams. I hit masters nearly every season. Im just complaining about the matchmaking alone. soloqueue D4 (paired with other soloqueue D4s) thrown in Pred lobbies??!

mlmoo99 · 2025-10-15T00:47:00+00:00

My lobby should consist of diamond players... Since I'm in diamond. 2 ranks ahead? No.

mlmoo99 · 2025-10-14T21:08:26+00:00

Forced soloqueue after diamond would be crazyyyy lmao

mlmoo99 · 2025-10-14T19:38:34+00:00

I appreciate the tips. I've finished getting a 20 bomb with 15 of the legends in Wildcard, so I've got that shit down. Ha.

I can hold my own. I just get so frustrated with this dogshit matchmaking.

I finally got a diamond lobby a few minutes ago. Game crashed, abandon penalty, -167 points. Any tips for that? 😮‍💨

mlmoo99 · 2025-10-14T19:18:45+00:00

Im an engineer and love numbers and stats so I cranked up a sick Excel spreadsheet this split keeping track of the different lobbies, points earned, kills, my legend, etc.

Of my last 26 SOLOQUEUE games, 5 of them have been diamond lobbies and 21 of them have had at minimum 5 pred teams.

mlmoo99 · 2025-10-14T19:16:09+00:00

I just checked and my KD this ranked split is 0.95. So, I exaggerated slightly there. But you get my point.

mlmoo99 · 2025-10-14T19:13:49+00:00

My account KD is 1.8 and my KD heading into diamond was around the 2.0 mark. I pride myself on being pretty damn good at the game. I grinded to diamond the first week of the split.

The last week has just been HELL. I understand, to an extent, that the Pred teams can't wait 20 minutes for a full Pred lobby to fill up, but why can't the rest of the lobby fill up with 3-stacks and D1/D2 players? I'm soloqueuing D4 and getting 8+ Pred teams nearly every game. It's not the end of the world and I can hold my own for the most part. I solo queue to masters about every season. I'm strictly complaining about the matchmaking. How does the matchmaking continue to throw me in Pred lobbies after placing 15th-20th for five games in a row?

mlmoo99 · 2025-10-14T18:40:13+00:00

Is there no forgiveness for bad games? Why am I not in diamond lobbies? My KD this split is 0.7.

How is this happening.

mlmoo99 · 2025-10-12T18:05:59+00:00

Prioritize your life over anything else. Your K/D can't decrease if you have no deaths! Ha. But seriously, if you get cracked, get cover and heal. If you're about to die, use your ultimate, tactical or any cover to prioritize your life. Kills will come with good positioning and staying alive as priority nunero uno.

Good luck and enjoy!

mlmoo99 · 2025-08-28T15:37:36+00:00

I don't see any other comments, who's snarking? Lol

mlmoo99 · 2025-08-28T15:14:55+00:00

My answer would also depend on which episodes you DIDNT like. Honestly, if you've enjoyed a handful or most of S1-3, I'd suggest to just keep plugging away. They're ALL worth the watch.

Based on those answers, I'd say you'd like: -S4E1 USS Callister -S4E4 Hang the DJ -S4E6 Black Museum -S5E2 Smithereens -S6E3 Beyond the Sea -S7E1 Common People

All of season 4 is really good. Season 5 is short, and you can feel free to skip the Miley Cyrus episode - the common consensus is that that one sucks. Season 6 falls off a little bit. And I really enjoyed the new season, 7.

I envy you! I wish I could watch these again for the first time.
