Also its very hard to tell if he is really that skilled. If you watch trihex playing yoshi island you know he is the best player in the world by far most likely. Everything he does is so refined and he can shows that off very well. So many little perfect Jumps and tricks and remembering everything in a 3h run is just insane. It might just be me but i prefer watching games that require a shitload of skill rather than games that are very easy to win in the first place thats why i am very excited about super meat boy, devil may cry and i also watched kid chameleon(hardest fucking game on the planet most likely), some sonic games and megaman stuff. But yeah Halo reach is more like oh look a dude plays halo - and after 5 minutes it just gets boring. | ||

You should check out Cody's Halo 2 no-death legendary speedrun. It's seriously impressive if you've ever played Halo 2 before. You can also check out Halo 1 and Halo 2 "done segmented." The H2 one comes with commentary. There are a lot of sequence breaks and cool tricks that are tough to pull off and clearly take skill. Later Halo games severely hindered speedrunner's abilities to glitch and do tricks, so they're far more boring. See here: H1DS: H2DS: Commentary | ||

For me the reason to speedrun games is to show off your skill in a game that you really love and put in thousands of hours to get good at. | ||

For me the reason to speedrun games is to show off your skill in a game that you really love and put in thousands of hours to get good at. The problem is some games really arent possible in Single Segment and have some really cool tricks it really depends on your personal opinions though like Cara is working on an insane segmented FFX run with extreme luck manipulation that could easily take him well over a year. The final product will be extremely impressive, and Single segment and segmented are listed in different categories anyways so they're judged differently. I dont mind segmented as long as there is really good planning and they make really good use of the segments. | ||
