Hey all!

I finally got my first real World Record, meaning for a game that has actual competition and needed a grind to get it. I developed a completely new route compared to the old world record, which is riskier but payed off big time. This beats the old WR by 29s. I will continue to grind to get the first 38 :)

For anyone interested in picking this game up, I also wrote a speedrun guide, which is linked in the video description or speedrun.com.

Original Title: (WR) Balatro Set Seed Plasma deck in 1:19.699. First Sub 1:20!!!! One of the hardest WR's in the game, with the seed that I'm using. This record will most likely get destroyed when a better seed comes out.

I know that super mario bros has been progressing toward it but does any game exist with a true tie the whole way through? I only see the concept mentioned around SMB. If not then which games are closest?

I can't find this run on Youtube anymore. Does anyone know if and why it might have been deleated?

According to this old thread here () the Twitch link should be this:

But Twitch is blocked here at the office PC, and Youtube isn't. I'm 100% sure I saw this 20 hour run (two parts videos) on Youtube. Please help! 😢😅

If you like Zelda speedruns, check out twitch.tv/mikekanis this weekend. I'm doing 100% Glitchless/NMG for 7 Zelda games back to back in one sitting. The exact category per each game is picked based on popularity and wanting to stay in the spirit of Glundo.

Zelda 1 - 100% Any% No Up A

Zelda 2 - 100% AK

A Link to the Past - 100% NMG

Ocarina of Time - 100% Glitchless

Majora's Mask - 100% Glitchless

Wind Waker - 100% Glitchless

Twilight Princess - 100% JP Glitchless

Just to set your expectations, I am not the a top 5 runner at any of these games. I try my best and follow the routes, but it is more about celebrating the goat video game series and self improvement than setting any records. Also want to note that OoT and MM could randomly have the dreaded VC Crash, in which case the run has to end early.

P.S. I'm down to race any of these, if you're interested hmu in chat.

He found amazing setups for trick in OoT and Super Mario Sunshine, among many other games. Seems like he hasn't been active for a long time now, he streamed on Twitch 5 years ago, and his newest YouTube video is from 11 years ago.

After watching yet another summoning salt vid (but never watching a ton of twitch), I thought how fun it would be to watch someone groceries and eventually set a WR in something. Is there anyone out there who is worth checking out at the moment?

Hey speed friends,

In 2024, I hosted two live speedrun marathons with my buddies and this year I want to take it up a notch. The idea is simple: gather new friends together for the sole purpose of playing, watching, and talking about speedruns. Our past events were a lot of fun but I am the one of my group of friends who actually speedruns, so I ended up making a ridiculously long list of games and playing them all myself. It'd be really awesome to meet more like minded people who wouldn't mind making the trip to run their favorite games with me.

My target date for this event would probably be in early April, which will be the 1 year anniversary of our first event. I'm also located in Queens, NY, so this might best fit someone who lives in/near the NYC metro area.

If any of this sounds cool to you, reach out and DM me!

I got a HUGE PB in Spider-Man that ended up being a WR!

Hey r/speedrun!

Katanaut demo just came out and to celebrate, I wanted to kick off a small speedrun competition! Katanaut is a fast paced roguelite game about a space samurai who is very good at killing things, and makes for a great speed run. If you're interested in seeing the trailer check it out here!

Over the next two weeks the person with the fastest speed run in the demos Any% category (AKA beating the game by any means necessary BESIDES cheating) will win 500USD, and their choice of either an in-game statue of themself/their avatar with an inscription of their choice(has to be SFW), or immortalize themselves as a core NPC in the game! Whichever you choose, we'll work closely with pixel artists to turn you, or a unique representation of you into a character! And for their troubles second place will get NOTHING! We ain’t running a charity here folks, it’s winner take all! :)

Quick facts:

- Speedrun example video linked here!

- The competition goes from now, January 17th to February 2nd, ending at exactly 8pm PST!

  • To submit your results send over an unedited video of your FULL gameplay footage to this leaderboard. Streaming your runs is also welcome!

  • Your game timer will always start the moment you descend the elevator from your home base.

  • Your game timer will end the moment you touch this machine on the last level!

  • A full run is defined by starting in the "home base" of the game, to killing the last boss and touching the machine mentioned in the previous point. Once you touch that machine, you will see a "total time" represented there, which is the total time of your run. If you want to see your top 6 times in game, you can activate your personal scoreboard by interacting with the machine shown here.

If you have any questions related to the competition, or feel like collaborating with your fellow newbies to find the optimal strategies, check out our official discord.
