Lucky fusion dragon (and new fusion dragon strat) meant that I cut another 4:30 off my GS100% run. It actually saved more than that as I only used 52 resets as opposed to 58 (each reset adds around 5 seconds). Assuming a hard reset takes 5 second, then this would be the first 100% run under 5 hours.

Garrison's insane new Super Metroid WR (00:30 in-game).

It's absolutely flabbergasting how much he has improved in the last year or so. If he keeps it up, he will eventually reach a sub-30 time.

I see another TL member has snuck into speedrunning. ScintilliaSD is (tentatively) down to do Okami NG+ at SGDQ~

Improved my Nimbus run by using some new routes for a few stages but making even more mistakes so I only got 20:58 (old record was 21:02).

Highlight on Twitch: http://www.twitch.tv/crate3333/c/2020855

Hopefully I'll cut out the mistakes in the near future.

That's awesome. Also, he was just recently made TL staff, so we have more staff members involved in the speedrunning community

I've been watching him practice Okami on his stream. It seems like a really cool run.

Good job! In other TL news, Tyriounet improved his Vice City run again, 2:50 faster - 1:42:08! http://www.twitch.tv/tyriounet/c/2020470

Yep. Not really sure how. Sure, I used a couple different strats, including a trick that saved like 30 seconds but damn, 2:50 faster.
It probably was Cherry Poppers, which I yolo'd through ridiculously fast. Good time.

Thats an incredible time tyr, keep at it. You're making sub 1:40 look more and more possible by the day.

What is your stream by the way? I couldn't find you for the big GTA race on the weekend.

I'm thinking of getting into speedrunning myself, and I've started by running the HotS mission "Supreme" on brutal mode. So far I've gotten a time of 9:47.

Here's the video I made of it (warning, HotS spoilers):

I might do more missions or even a full campaign run later, depends if I can keep up the motivation

I was in the race and ended up second. It was pretty cool.

I never really got going with updating the runner list. Not fun enough.

Tyr: Adam & I are doing a Vice City race tonight at 8pm CET (prompt start!) if you're about for it!

Gotta get sub 3 or something.

--------------------

For a general flicky update, I have a lot planned:

Routing Metal Gear Rising & Devil May Cry 3 Co-op.
Learning Vice City, with the idea to learn 3 and maybe SA as well. (Casual)
Doing casual runs of Bayonetta.
Planning to do some All-Campaigns 4-Player L4D with the gang.
Got a blind Tomb Raider race planned for Saturday the 23rd (10am GMT start if you want to join in!)

Also planning Blind Playthroughs of Anarchy Reigns (white/black side) & Jak 1-3.

Are you running this completing every mission or just any%?

There is no any% You have to complete every mission in order to finish the game. Also you just linked a mostly timed mission.

Also why are you even doing the swarm host and ultra evolutions? Pretty sure they don't gain enough time to merit doing them. And if you do Dominion space missions before you do the Stukov missions then you don't have infestors available for the rescue mission. Having infestors means you can just perma neural parasite tanks and thors and plow through the level faster.

Thanks for the hints i only finished it once so far~

+ Show Spoiler +

I was actuall wondering which evolutions are worth it... I am not even sure about the baneling but i am using kerrigan spell so far as it allows me to solo alot~

Also Dont know which spells to use or which evolutions yet but i will find out soon.

I did however beat the mission with 3 waves of shuttles left on brutal with a hydra queen mix.. Which was what I wanted to point out.. Sorry if it was unclear.

I hope more people will try their luck in hots speedruns
