100% running is nothing compared to the amount of preparation you can put into speedrunning the game...

2017-12-07 03:03:51 am

Hi there,
I'm Naxed and I'm a big fan of speedrunning since at least 2012. In fact I'm so interessted, that right now speedrunning is the theme of my MA-Thesis and this is also the reason why I made this account. I'd like to get into the community and running on my own to get a besster understandig of speedruns. I look forward to talk about speedruns with all of you.

this is the 1st time I've ever done speed running before, and so far no one has a better time then me in Dragons Dogma, finishing the whole game and dlc on new game. Pretty much everyone does ng+ only runs on dragons dogma, and no one else finishes the whole game with the dlc. Right now my time is 2hours and 30mins.

hecatomb: Is the DLC separate from the main game or does it kind of mesh into it? If it's a separate story, running it would be considered a separate category on SDA (so we don't have both Main game + DLC and just DLC runs). If you'd like some consultation, just PM me so we don't use this thread for this.

Hey everyone, I'm Michael. I've been speedrunning for a couple months off and on and figured I would finally check out SDA properly. I run platformers mostly, having started with cave story, but I'm currently focusing on Earthworm Jim 1 for Genesis. I've had nothing but good times speedrunning so far, księgowa Jelenia Góra and hope for it to continue here!

Welcome everyone! Make sure to post under the appropriate planning section (look for existing threads of course) to make sure anyone interested in your game will know you're running it.

hi im james im terrible at video games but im trying to get better

im hoping to learn more about speedrunning and get involved in the community more. im pretty new to it in terms of actually trying to run games myself, but ive been watching speedruns religiously since around 2012. im still trying to work out what games i actually would enjoy running and hoping these forums would help me with that ~

my favourite games are:
- kingdom hearts 2 & 358/2 days
- pokemon soul silver & emerald & mystery dungeon red/blue rescue team
- crash bandicoot 3 warped & crash twinsanity
- legend of zelda majora's mask
- sonic advance

...and also stardew valley what's been eating up most of my time recently while ive been off work instead of giving me a chance to be able to practice beating some of the above listed games as quickly as possible lmao

Hi I'm Al and I'm new here. I don't speedrun but It's always facinated (and kind of scared) me.

Made an account to ask about AGDQ. Hopefully that's allowed in here?

Hello everyone! A pleasure to meet all of you. This will be my first time speed running and it is with a game that has not had a speed run done before on this site, Drakan: The Ancients' Gates, but it does qualify for speed running according the SDA rules.

Salutations! I only joined SDA today...Up until a few days ago, I had only been one of the incognito viewers on guest status. Mostly what I have done up until now was practice my own Castlevania NES run on emulator and console, and of course keeping an eye on my soon-to-be fellow CV runners. I have done my best in the last couple years to learn all I can about being a runner myself, and am only now getting the rest of the equipment to do runs competitively. My favorite games are on the NES and SNES, I believe all of the gaming glory existed during the era that is otherwise known as the Nintendo-Genesis War. As a Game Development major in college, my hobbies blur the line with my current career track, and all the dives into certain glitches/skips/etc also helps boost my coding knowledge. A few days ago on the 25th, I had a personally phenomenal run on CV but was not recording. I have some polish left to do on the run before submission, mostly involving not softlocking on the last screen before the faceoff with Death. I have never felt adrenaline from a video game like that since the first time I beat Sonic 2!!! I am hooked. My hopes are to get respectable times for CV, CV3 Trevor-only, Solstice, and Startropics. Maybe a few Mario games and eventually a JRPG....dunno what JRPG though yet. The eras of consoles I intend to run (between fulltime work and fulltime school) are NES-GCN (1986-2004).

Hello, name is Attoffy. I have watched speedruns since 2009, on both here and on SRL. I intend to speedrun at some point but my computer can't handle the streaming or video recording. I watch a bit of everything for speedruns but love 100% catagories.

Hello . I... don't have much to introduce myself. I am a casual gamer, playing mostly starcraft, starcraft 2, and league of legends (though there isn't technically a speedrun for league huh), but I've watched some of the games and got me interested in some speedrunning games księgowa Jelenia Góra.

Happy new year everyone!

So my name is Jeff aka SouthCrow i'm 21 years old and i come from the small Country Luxembourg.
I already know Speedruns/SDA like since SGDQ 2013 because i found randomly the Stream and at the first look i didn't know what Speedrunning is.
I already saw like every AGDQ and SGDQ but i was never live there, cause you know from Luxembourg to America is a big way.
My First and only Run was SMW 11 Exit but in 2018 i want to start a big One like The Legend OF Zelda: The Minish Cap and Final Fantasy VI Advance.
I want to say Thank you very Mutch SDA to be there and making things happen.

Hi, My name's GreenEight, real name Devin Jablonicky and I adore watching speedruns, hoping to do well in some myself or at least have some casual fun trying. I've just got a new PC which I'll be able to stream and record from so I'm pretty excited about that. SDA seems to take submitting and verifying very seriously and I love that fact. Feel free to send me a message, would love to meet some new people here. I'm 28 years old, a PS1 collector, and played that and PC games the most growing up. I've also played a lot of NES, Genesis, PS2. I loved point and clicks and multiple ending adventure titles as a kid. Woot, happy runs to all!

Hello (Izaak here). I have had an interest in speed running for a long time just never pursued it. I recently just tried timing a run on a game that I haven't seen many people run and I was quite happy with the time. I have a lot to learn sure, and I need to save up so I am able to record and upload it. I want to learn and have a fun experience and meet people along the journey. People with the same interest, księgowa Jelenia Góra and maybe make an impact if enough practice later. Anyways.. Thanks for the oppurtunity. And all the current runners that encouraged me to try this. Let's have fun and good luck.
