I looked around some and I did not see anything about doing a Darkwing Duck speed run or that a speed run for this game had been done. Granted I might have over looked it but if I did not I was wondering who would be interested in seeing a run of this game? I know this is not as popular as Chip n' Dale or Ducktales but I thought I would ask and see if anyone is interest in it so I could start working on it.

Waiting hurts my soul...

There is interest, it's in the request list: http://forum.speeddemosarchive.com/post/a_speed_run_request_thread.....html

Watch the TAS(s) and see what can be done with the game. Good luck. http://tasvideos.org/951M.html

When I saw the thread's title, I thought it was about Darkwing Duck the SDA member.

So, about Darkwing Duck, it's about time SDA gets a run, so You have my support.

Thanks for the links ZenicReverie. The TAS video helped out with my planing and now I know where the post is for the request so I don't have to ask in the future.

Wait, why has it taken a month for me to first see this topic?

I've played it a bit. Haven't played in a few weeks. I've been able to one credit it while trying to speed run it. I should be able to one life it if I put more time into it. I don't think I want to put the time to find a route for an SDA run, though.

My best run so far (it's crap): http://www.twitch.tv/jokaah/b/361655518?t=2h8m35s

I'm really suprised not more people are trying to run this.. it's an awesome game. I can't find any other actual RTAs then the one at Summer Games Done Quick.

Still really sloppy. Just a bit less sloppy then my other tries. Super careful last stage.

You just jump at the right time, before the game figures out you are not actually standing on anything.
I use a music que.

I've bought an NTSC NES (finally), so I will keep working on this game when it gets here Smiley

Wonderful! Really enjoyed your sub-15, will continue to follow as you post your NTSC attempts.

Got a 14:46 just now (random depry swenglish commentary included). I missed the bushroot-jump though so I lost like 15 seconds there and lost another 10+ thanks to a crappy megavolt stage.
Aiming for sub-14 now.

Some really good small things you do in the first stages timewise. Still don't quite get the Quackerjack start since a few well placed gas drops nets you arrows for Quackerjack if you start with either of the other guys.

You're still really safe on the final stage. I started trying to learn the hard strats through the ship, so I have difficulty modifying to safer strats. Can pick up more time there.

Yeah, I will swith back to Wolfduck first, because I pretty much need a gas drop in any case, at this point, and I'm all for making the QJ fight shorter! I might also start doing Megavolt before Moliarty because I need way more gas on Moliarty stage.

The last stage is really tricky to do fast. I want enough health to boost through most of the enemies that takes a long time to kill (cape-guys and the one that you can only shoot in the back). But at the same time, it would be a lot faster to jump over the canon-guys if I can get it consistently enough. In the very last part, I plan on using way more gas, since I can pick up 20 at the end if I run out.

Since you motivated me to pick the game back up, I've been starting at Liquidator because he's a bit more random than Wolfduck.

Also a simple trick to gain a small bit of time, face the opposite way when you take damage. You damage boost the correct way.

EDIT: Streaming it now.
