Speedrunning

[Jam88]

Hey guys! Do any of you speedrun any video games?
I speedrun MCBE and current best is 7 hours, but I'm right in the middle of a really good one!
I just made this thread to see whether there were any other speedrunners, and what games they play.

I have done speedrunning of SS Comp once. It took me nearly 4 hours to do 30/34 events.

I do not have time for video games as I am a post grad student sadly, R' U' F R' S' R' S R2 F' U R .

Bump because speedrunning is a sister hobby.

I know @Aerma speedruns or at east used to.. I've been thinking about running Doom/Doom II/Doom 64 ( unity release on switch ) individual levels recently since they have in game timers. Celeste is also another on that's really popular w/ in game timer. There is also Into the Break which is a sort of puzzle game which is really cool.

What are you studying, comrade ?

Yep, I used to speedrun Portal (Inbounds). I'd like to get back into it when I get the time.

That's awesome, such a cool speedrun. Lol, I remember doing ABHs on my XBOX360 back in the day and figuring out some out of bounds stuff.. For whatever reason the saveglitch didn't work on console so I had to come up with my own strats..

I found a funny online game called choppy orc that has an ingame timer. so far my best is a 214 second run of all 15 levels

I've done some speed runs of several Mario games I own, with the main ones being New Super Mario Bros. Wii and Super Mario Odyssey. This only kinda counts, but at one point I was a top player of Super Mario Maker 2, with one of the highest World Record counts.

I'm 10th on 60 second burger run on speedrun.com

Just went on the website now, and that is true (on flash anyway.)

I swear I tried that thing like a million times. What am I supposed to do on level 7?

invisible blocks to the right.

You'll need to run over them cause if you jump, they'll break

can i talk about dream's speedruns here? @qwr mentioned it (on the wrong thread though but now im posting on the right thread, i think) so i thought maybe this thread could be about discussing speedruns here too.



I dont speedrun but I am a big fan of SMB speedruns, Doom speedruns, SM64 speedruns, Zelda speedruns, Goldeneye 007 speedruns, and Perfect dark too.

wow nice
(sorry abt double post)

dream cheated and there is tons of evidence. It's simply improbable to get the luck he got, if not impossible.

The chance for that to happen is really low.

Sure, we can talk about it here.


Geosquare's video was extremely convincing and I definitely believed Dream was a cheater. After all, those odds were insane, and according to the speedrun.com MC mods that was AFTER everything was adjusted in favor of Dream.

However, all of that is completely put in a new light when you watch Dream's response video(on his second channel, DreamXD). According to a "professional" in the field of statistics and probabilities, the odds were completely wrong, they were actually adjusted against Dream, and some of the fundamental arguments were incorrect.

Whether or not you think Dream cheated basically comes down to whether you believe the mods of Minecraft on Speedrun.com are better statisticians than someone who has a college degree and is a professor in that subject. Personally, I trust a statistics professor over the speedrun.com mods.



I'd also like to hear what @Kit Clement thinks of the situation; I know he enjoys watching speedruns(although maybe not specifically minecraft speedruns)

Please watch this; almost all of the speedrun.com Minecraft moderator's claims are debunked by a professor of statistics and probabilities

Yeah. All true, but the mods probably have more experience with in-game stats

I think it's a similar scenario to the brasilian guy who cheated on yu-gi-oh

 

[ProStar]

What do you mean? The main point would be the random generation(concerning Piglin bartering, Blaze Rod drops, etc.), specifically the method of random generation for each element(and therefore the probability of an event), which is clearly explained and understood by the professor.

Dreams video is not convincing at all tbh. He never actually delves into why the mathematics are wrong. All he says basically is ' I got some smart guy to say otherwise ' and then 90% talks about stuff that isn't really relevant. Just so you know his ' Harvard Mathematician ' remains anonymous.. There have been several other videos released addressing dreams video and explaining tons of errors in dreams report. The mods adjusted the maths in dreams benefits, fyi, generously I might add.

There was also a verified Astrophysicist on reddit which goes into detail on why the Harvard guy was wrong/ why the mods were correct. A+ for dreams PR team to try and weasel his way out of it but no, he cheated 100%.

Also this if you're not interested in the mathematics
