I did a Navi dive today. And I got ISG when I tried it. I also got a ground jump once? And I figured out Ocarina items. It felt pretty good. I'm complete shit at Zelda games regardless, but it was fun to learn.

Now at least I know what people are doing when I watch them Speedrun.

Woo I learned the Rock Tunnel route in Leaf Green. In my mind it was going to be the most difficult part in the game so I put it off until today. I literally viewed the map images on bulbapedia and watched one of MBM's run through it and I got through it first try. A few more times through and I can run it near flawlessly, although I need to work on bike control.

Also VBA is slowing down my runs by fluctuating between 98 and 100% speed T.T

I'll be honest and say this is/was a significant part of my motivation for learning 16 star SM64 and some OoT stuff lmao. Still waiting for that party! It'll pay off some day! xD

Ah, now I know where the mixup came from. Xfullmetal also has numbers in his name so I believe I mixed him up with you Xiphias. I Knew we had a braid runner on TL. Toss me your twitch info etc so I can edit it in on the previous page. Trying to compile a list of runners from TL. It hasn't been updated for ages.

Pheenoh just missed the Twilight Princess 100% WR, a 7h50min24s run, by exactly one second. Some games can be brutal. Should have pee'd faster!

Wow.... did I really miss that?

Didn't expect anything good to come out of it considering how poor the start was. :/

He was 16 Minutes ahead (5:56 pace) the after Gang Territories, but then he failed Cut Throat Business, lost 6 minutes 3 missions before the end. Even yolo mode couldnt get the sub-6 for him.

Holy hell Samura1man with the near perfect run: 1:30:02 any% in Sunshine, improved his PB by 47 seconds and the WR by 43 seconds. That run will be hard to beat

It was so sad though he would have got sub 1:30 but missed the second to last jump on the final boss.

Yeah it was sad to see, he will need perfect luck to beat that again.

I'm late to the party, but I've been learning and practicing GTA Vice City any%. I've only completed 2 runs so far, the first being 2:02:33 (esperanto didn't show up), the 2nd run I've just done netted me 1:42:10, I was sooooo happy to see that on the timer. I still have a long way to go, I've wasted quite a bit of time on stuff that isn't RNG (driving, a few phonecalls) but still, I was gunning for sub 2 hours and didn't expect a low 1:4x to happen for a long time. I'll highlight the video as soon as I can, and I'm on http://www.twitch.tv/m00nchile85 if you wanna check it out.
