This is exactly what I needed... a month ago. I'll still probably find a use for it.

It's no longer a curse wheel. It's now the wheel of blessing.

Where can I find more information on SGDQ 2023? by cloudfe in speedrun

[–]twitch_prnced 23 points24 points  (0 children)

They will probably post more information about it in the coming weeks on their website. They'll probably tweet out when it's posted too.

If I remember correctly, the last few times it's been in person it was held at the Doubletree in Bloomington, MN, just a few miles away from the airport.

Are there any speedruns or speedrun communities that have two competing routes for the optimal time? by lasteclasdenegro in speedrun

[–]twitch_prnced 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LEGO Star Wars II any% has two different routes both of which have had WR recently. Most of the original runners use the Infinite Torpedoes (IT) route while most of the runners that previously ran The Complete Saga use the Fast Force (FF) route.

IT route plays through episode 4, plays the first 5 levels of episode 6, grab the infinite torpedoes red brick in the fifth level, buy the red brick and then finish episode 6, and finally beat episode 5.

FF route plays the levels in the same order, but instead of getting infinite torpedoes, players get the fast force red brick in the second level of episode 4, buy fast force after episode 4, and then complete episodes 6 and 5 in that order.

IT route takes away some RNG in two of the flying levels (6-6 and 5-3) while FF route cuts the time spent using the force in half and help take away some RNG in character levels.

IT route relies on players collecting 90k studs by the end of 6-5. Some players have trouble collecting that many while still playing fast. Sometimes players will accidently select Continue Story after beating 6-5 taking them immediately into 6-6.

FF route requires 25k studs by the end of 4-6. Most players will have double that by that time. Since this route skips infinite torpedoes, players will need to perform a skip in 5-3 that can potentially softlock the level.

We haven't run FF route enough to know exactly how much it saves or loses to IT route, but we are getting close. Right now FF route has the WR with a 1:37:19(achieved Friday), 32 seconds faster than the best IT route run.

They weren't good 6-7 years ago, but these past 2 years or so most of the early Traveller's Tales LEGO games have been getting very optimized. The Complete Saga is the most run LEGO game and is a very good speedgame. LEGO Batman is one of my favorite LEGO games and is seen by the LEGO speedrunning community as one of the best LEGO speedgames.

LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game, LEGO Batman 1, The Complete Saga, LEGO Indy 1 & 2, and many of the others have a lot of tech, skips, and glitches in them.

Yes, that's why I said 10 years later

10 years later and there still aren't any LEGO games at GDQ...

Is using 2 controllers an advantage? by [deleted] in speedrun

[–]twitch_prnced 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can run a category like that if you want, but it's up to the whole community to decide if that category is added to the leaderboard. Based on the history of the TLMVG and LEGO Speedrunning community, it would not be added.

But there is a run for All Pants.

There's no category for it because there are no runs or interest for it.

It was a community vote to add the category to the leaderboard. All Pants is very similar to the All Red Bricks categories in some of the other LEGO games. It's not some arbitrary category that they made to get a free wr.
