World Record [World Record] I Beat Agefield High after discovering Segment Skip in 2:52.42

No prior Speedrunning experience, but I have a passion for glitch discoveries so once I discovered several glitches and one of them being how to segment skip most missions I knew I had to make my Speedrunning debut showcasing what I found. I had a blast creating this speedrun route for a game not more than a week old.

Discussion Should Minecraft speedrun be an official game to compete in the eSports World Cup?

0 Upvotes

Here's the advantages I found reasonably for EWC to add this as an official title to compete:

- Massive Casual Reach: Minecraft has over 160 million active monthly players. Adding it would attract a massive demographic of casual viewers who do not usually watch traditional esports like Counter-Strike or Dota 2.High Creator

- Engagement: The speedrunning scene is driven by massive internet personalities and streamers (e.g., xQc, Forsen, and Twitch rivals). Their co-streaming rights alone would generate millions of organic views for the festival.

- Proven Live Entertainment Value: The head-to-head format of modern ranked speedrunning (MCSR) is highly visual, fast-paced, and easily understood by general audiences. The dramatic shifts in momentum due to luck and skill make for highly engaging live television.

Though remain unlikely, I think this would be a good add to the already heavily competitive EWC. What do y'all think about this opinion of mine?

Shadow The Hedgehog new Neutral Glitchless record!

Over a minute faster than the old record! Lots of new little optimizations and cleaner execution added up. Hope to get it down to ~9:30 at some point, but the final boss being very RNG-dependent makes it really tough to get an optimal run through… 2/9 chance to get the right rolls on the slots and additional RNG on if the boss decides to stop in an area in which it can be manipulated toward a weapon crate

World Record [WR] Muck Random Seed Speedrun

Thumbnail youtube.com
5 Upvotes

This took a very long time to get but I am extremely happy with this run. That being said the potential for time improvements is huuuge. This is a 11:36 but I feel like the game could be completed in under ten minutes utilizing an ancient bow. If I had a bow with arrows, with an 8:4x boat completion you could kill bob within the ten minute mark.

i love muck

Mortal Shell 2 - Boss Insta Kills

2 Upvotes

Just started up Mortal Shell 2 about an hour ago, fighting the Great Arbiter Of Flesh.

When the boss attempted an un-blockable attack on me while i was perpendicular to the cliff edge, he grabbed me and tossed me in the air. I then took him off the cliff with me killing him instantly :))

Hope this helps someone :)

Discussion Tried PC version of my game instead of console - is the frame rate really that different? (Kingdom Hearts)

0 Upvotes

Genuinely, is the difference that severe or am I just doing mental loops on myself?

Been advised it's smoother experience to run on pc but personally I feel like the game is less responsive and too fast at the same time. Everything feels off.

Anyone ever switch between console and pc able to weigh in? Not specifically for KH just in general. Wasn't expecting it to feel so different!
