I've finished my project of speedrunning the original SC campaign You can find them at Speed Demos Archive.













For those interested in running, visit the SDA forums and check out the SC topic. There's also an ongoing project of speedrunning the SC2 campaign

I was wondering when someone with a bit of handspeed/gameplay-experience would speedrun this game. The old runs always had cool strategies but I knew that anyone with a bit of skill at SC 1v1 could just steal the strats with twice the efficiency. How much of your runs would you say are improved strategies and how much is just being better at the game than the original runner?

Speedruns have traditionally pretty much always exploited glitches wherever possible to complete a game faster. And he didn't use a code, if that's what you meant.

in terms of a speedrun, theres a difference between exploiting bugs and actually using cheats/third party programs. the general rule is that if it can be done in the confines of a normal game, its fair game in a speed run. he needed to be able to time the creeps perfectly and stuff to get the invulnerable drone bug to do that. sure it can seem weird because its not an intended game mechanic, but it can happen and so its allowed. allows for creative ways of solving puzzles

How long did you needed to finish this?

Raynor probably died more than once in T02, also I would have played this mission so often just to break the 1:00 lol.

Or maybe your goal was to killt he CC before 1:00, which is fair i guess :D

Yah, for example, check a speedrun of Amnesia: The dark descent, thats just mindnumbing.

Nice always loved the archive, so fun to watch these and lets plays =)

Same for me, its a cool trick but not what I would think is a speed run. Will check out the rest of the youtube videos.

Yes, he has most of the current SDA records (which I have now improved).

Different version for each mission. But yeah Z08 was on 1.01 (invincible drone + cannons doing explosive damage). T02 used the latest version.

Glitches/bugs are legal to do at SDA. At first I also thought it was kinda lame but it actually adds a lot more tactics to it (and lower times of course). Exploits are different from glitches and are not legal, such as mineral hack from canceling egg, nuking anywhere on the map, cheat codes etc.

Took me two months to finish all the missions, playing on and off. I probably could break 1:00, but I had 30 missions to run in total. And really, 1:01 is pretty hard to beat, only one unit died. There are other missions that are much easier to improve.

LOL These speedruns are amazing!

It's great to complete these normally, but it's amazing to complete them in such clever and fast ways!

this is the best mission speedrun for the starcraft ive seen: ive copied this, but it took a couple of goes. this one is amazing, how do you just come up with something like this!


I have this one uploaded as well My run is 6 seconds faster. But yes the original runners figured out some crazy strategies! This mission is actually one of the easiest to run though. I've tried some missions over 1000 times

The "Return to Char" one was really funny. Good job! Upload all missions to YT because most people including me aren't watching anywhere else.
