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. | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||

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. On December 11 2011 08:45 Keniji wrote: How long did you needed to finish this?

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

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

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 | ||
