Well the Kingdom hearts series is "my series" however I understand they have issues as a speedrun.

Personally Fzero / Goldeneye / S3K / Yoshi's island win for me.

I really enjoy watching the games from my childhood, Zelda: OoT and Alttp have huge nostalgia and are very fun to watch for me (Alttp partly because i casually run it too) and other games like SM64, Resident evil etc i enjoy.

If it isn't nostalgic factor it has to be really impressive to me in terms of skill. I love RPG's / FF but i can't watch speedruns since they're just shit tbh. Luckily Nostalgia + really impressive = OoT and SM64 for me. I know, im mainstream.

Every GDQ i'll sit and watch all the games ive played before regardless though, shit like FF, Ecco, Earthworm Jim, even if its boring, its always interesting to see the first time for me. If i havent seen it, it has to be entertaining like F-Zero was.

Streamers have a huge impact too, i really dislike some personalities. Idk who runs RE at GDQ, Carcinogen or TheEnglishMan but he is annoying as fuck and i have to ragemute my stream until its over, thankfully ive never found him on his personal stream .

I watched some GTA during that big triathlon that happened and it was really fun despite me thinking it was going to be shit :D

I really enjoy Golden Sun runs, but then again it's because I understand everything that is going on. I think that if you run a game, you generally will enjoy watching runs of it.

Outside of games that I run, I really enjoy watching a lot of the Zelda games (WW, OoT, aLttP, some MM categories) and many games I used to play in my childhood (MMBN series (esp. 1 and 6 which have excellent speedruns), Keen 4-6, Lost Vikings). Other than those, I watch for the streamer and not really the game e.g. pretty much anything KirkQ does.

Yeah it really makes a difference when you run the game yourself, especially if the skills involved are obscure / not flashy or easy to see. (Unlike OoT / SM64's in-your-face approach where everyone with eyes can see them being completely raped.)

Unless you were watching the original KH1 (Which is a terrible speedrun) there are no cutscenes in the series anymore. Biggest issue is the gummi's (Which the handhelds don't have) and the Roxas section in KH2 (which is just tedious and boring)

358/2 is the best KH to speedrun though as it is 2 hours of platforming / menuing into a hour long boss rush.

Im thinking about getting back into speedrunning at more than a casual level, but I had a couple questions about recording. I have OBS set up at the moment so that I can game capture various games and stream them to twitch, so my question is, can someone ELI5 how to save a proper recording for SDA records? Can I just hit the Start Recording button in OBS and just go with that? Or is there something more complex that I need to do?

Sorry for being a nub, Just not familiar with this stuff.

Drazerk why you lie? CoM has the cutscene of doom at the beginning you of all people should know how awful it is to watch that damn thing 20+ times while trying to get a barrel blizzard. :p and com > 358/2 especially now that its been optimized to drunken levels of risk and over optimization it's become. The fact it is no long blizzard/fire raid spam on anything makes the run so much more interesting

@Varanice:
If your twitch stream is just the game video (or if you can crop out everything that's not game video without affecting the game video) and the game audio then local recording your twitch stream is fine (unless your video quality is too bad for SDA, but that's pretty unlikely). Otherwise you'd need to do something like use Dxtory or Fraps to capture the game video + audio separately (or probably you could use a DVD recorder or similar, I don't know since I don't have one), and then you'd use the dxtory capture as your video source instead of the game directly. The big downside to the dxtory/fraps option is that you're doing all the capturing and encoding twice so it's a much bigger load on your computer.

I don't believe OBS has support for multiple audio channels so no mic if you're going to be using OBS's local recording for SDA submission.

So basically, if I just have my display as only the game, and I mute my mic, it should be fine?

Yes, as long as your stream quality is halfway decent (which it almost certainly is).

Since no one has seemed to mention it and I just realized it the Kingdom Hearts marathon to raise funds for KH runners to go to AGDQ is going on at bizkitz channel and the schedule including Drazerk and myself commentating the Chain of Memories late on the 18th. It should be rather interesting with the massive changes that have happened to the route within the past few days

Completely forgot to put together a proper post in time. Scrubathon 2 is starting up, and will run for the next ~5 days.

Marathon is just a group of folks having fun and running through games, not taking donations for anything, just somewhere to hang out and enjoy speedruns for a bit.

Marathon is hosted on eLmaGus stream

Schedule can be found here: Scrubathon 2 Schedule

Come check it out, scrub it up with us, and just generally have a good time.
