Board 8 > If you decided to pursue speedrunning, what game would you choose?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Probably XIII then

---

Speedran Paper Mario in 2012-2013. Would probably go back to that - I miss it sometimes.
---

The Ratchet and Clank games seem like they'd be pretty fun to speedrun
---

Off the top of my head, the Strider remake.
---

Metroid Prime: Hunters is the only game I've ever made a serious attempt at speedrunning, so probably that one
---

if?

No if here, though I haven't been a streamer of any of it.

If I were to begin streaming, it would be several games: Mario platformers, Doom, Descent series and Cave Story

Probably some obscure stuff mixed in too like Nifflas' games (Within A Deep Forest, Knytt Underground)
---

OoT is the only game I've made semi-serious attempts at in the past, but I'm way out of date with the current routes and strategies.

Also I don't think I'd ever be good enough to seriously compete for a WR. It was fun though.
---

Ffarte
---

Arkham Asylum 100% Story Mode
---

I'm probably not good enough in general, but there are a few games I've cleared max difficulty and hold close to my heart, like Drill Dozer.
---

A Link to the Past, primarily because I already know the game and all of the (NMG) strats and was on the verge of getting seriously into it a year and a half ago in an effort to get better at the randomizer <_<

I remember clearing RE4 in under 3 hours and thinking I was hot shit

---

I don't care about a record I'd mostly just want a game that looks fun and stylish to play super fast.

Problem is a lot of em use glitches and weird skips and stuff. Others would end up avoiding large parts of the gameplay even if glitches aren't involved because it's not efficient to do things like fight enemies.

I feel like Metal Gear Solid 2 is potentially fun for this? I dunno.
---

Pretty much every game has a glitchless category if running the game glitchless would be of benefit to people who don't want to run the game with glitches

the vast majority of speedrunners that aren't at the very tippy top of the game forego a lot of glitches they aren't comfortable with anyway, like I can run SMB3 any% warpless with reasonably meaningful proficiency but I don't do the 7-1 skip

Maybe a Resident Evil game

---

Probably Prinny
---

the only game I ever even vaguely attempted to speedrun was Ori

apparently it has a randomizer now too, which actually i am reminded i should check out

it me
---

We Love Katamari
---

Resident Evil, my personal speedruns cut pretty close to some of the top WRs for at least some of the games. If I could really work on it more and really plan out time skips I could probably do really well.
---

The only game I've tried speedrunning was Mario 64 100%, so probably that.
---

I don't really like speedruns but if I really have to...uhh...Candy Crush?
---

I really enjoyed running Pokemon randomizers so I would probably get back into that.
---

all randos

only randos
---

I did this with 'ape out'.

it helps that the runs are pretty short, i find the game ridiculously fun, and there aren't many people running it
---

Kingdom Hearts 2 or Zelda: ALTTP

Also most speedruns that use glitches are lame. I'd rather see people speedrun games by being good at them, which is why I like KH2 speedruns so much.

i would not decide to pursue speedrunning. i would rather never play another video game in my life than do that.

---

Jackal (NES)
Its pretty heavily optimized, but I think learning the route would be fun. And its only 8 minutes long.
---

probably super mario bros. any%.

not saying i'd get a great time (i'd have to grind it like crazy for that) but uh, i could probably get a decent time with enough practice.
---

also maybe goonies II any%? i've never even beaten it casually but apparently it's a very beginner-friendly run, so...
---

kirby squeak squad
---

Super Mario World probably
---

Rocket Knight Adventures would be ideal for me I feel.
---

I'd probably have to do like a Spyro or a Sly Cooper or some sort of character that I don't mind playing as for hours a day

@Forceful_Dragon
---

200% Mixed Juice even though it'd honestly be hell rng dependent

i don't have the skills for much of anything else really

Banjo-Kazooie or Mario Sunshine they both seem like a blast
---

Some obscure Prince of Persia mobile games lmao.

I definitely speed ran those super well
---

Civilization VI, by way of actively participating in the Game of the Month series and vying for the Hall of Fame on the CivFanatics Forum.
---

Mega Man X1-4. I basically always please these games like a non-trained speedrun anyway.

If that's the video where I fall sleep....

Yup
---

uh Sonic 3 & Knuckles or DKC2 I guess
---

Russian roulette

At least once I shot myself I wouldn't have to speed run anymore

Also I keep percolating ways to "speedrun" TEW. Maybe a bingo or something >_>
