This video talks about the strategies runners use to beat FF4 in under 3 hours without major glitches. This is up there as one of my favorite FF games, and it was a ton of fun to make.

I hope you all enjoy and stay hydrated friends!

Was just accepted to the leader board yesterday. While there is only 3 people on the board including me it's been a 10 year dream to get on a leader board and it was 3 months of hard work and practice to learn and do the entire route

Anything cool happening in the speedrunning world this week? Into a new game or streamer and can't wait to watch more runs? Just find an awesome speedrunning YouTube channel? This is the place to tell everyone about it! Feel free to link streamers, YouTube channels, or any other related information here, just be mindful of the subreddit and reddit's overall self-promotion policies.

I have played GOI for a while now, and have the golden pot. I have been wanting to get into speedrunning. My current best time is 4:10. Until now, I have played with trackpad tuning off. However, I turned it on, and found it helps me make big jumps easier. I'm not sure which setting to use. Which is better? Which one do most speedrunners use?

Hey hey everyone!! It is I! Thorebane!

Less than 51 days now until the big event!

From my understanding, speedrunners usually start, stop and split timers manually. If that's the case, wouldn't it be really imprecise, considering speedruns often come down to less than a second of difference? It would make sense if they had a program to start it on first input, do rough, imprecise split times manually, and went back and edited it to end on the exact right frame in post, but I also know that speedruns are often livestremed, so what am I missing?

I'm not very familiar with the speedrunning community, and I'm wondering whether anything like this has been tried:

1. Two players start a Pokemon game at the same time. (Or more than two, if you want a bracket or round-robin tournament)

2. After some amount of time, the players have to battle against each other. So the incentive is to create the best PvP team you can, rather than optimizing around NPC battles.

I'm sure you'd need some restrictions to keep this interesting (e.g. banning starters or restricting their levels to ensure that type advantage isn't the most important factor). But it seems fun to test both speedrun skills and Pokemon skills, while creating a sense of suspense that isn't just about whether someone's time will be a few seconds faster.

I have the 40 Sega game disc for Xbox 360. Was super curious if there is a category or group of speedrunners that run these games on 360. I've always wanted to speedrun and I just so happen to have this. And for sake of convenience and money, was wondering if this is a thing.

Edit: Its Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection. Sorry should have probably said that.

Was aiming for 10:08:00, but somehow smashed that time.
