Man this new method looks so weird. I guess I’m just used to having to get the sticka and do all that silly stuff. It just looks weird due to the fact you don’t even really leave the village anymore. Half of it just looked like someone messing around with controls to test things out.

If you think about it, it kinda is just messing around with the controls. It's just that you're doing it in a very specific way.

Not really my favorite type of runs to watch, but the way they work is pretty interesting.
 
OoT any% runs aren't particularly fun to watch, but they're interesting in principle, seeing the ways people come up with of pushing the game to its utmost limits.
ACE looks like a bunch of fumbling around to a viewer when actually every action is carefully taken in order to reprogram the game within the game.

What's up with Troons and speed running? Narcissa/Cosmo ain't the only one that randomly decided to take that route

It's a insular niche hobby where they probably feel more comfortable. Plus SDA has gone out of their way to be woke on the issue. This wouldn't be so much of a problem if it weren't for the fact troons seem to shit things up for everybody else. Though I'm not sure Narci is really too bad in that last respect. It's my understanding they're just a basketcase more than anything.

Other than that, I'll echo the sentiment expressed so-far herein: Good for them on taking the record back. Fair is fair.
 
I don't understand what I just saw. How is he doing a bunch of weird movements in Kakariko Village, and then suddenly Ganon is defeated?

He's glitching the game. This is permitted per SDA rules in any% runs (and I think TG rules too) as long as you aren't using external cheat devices.

Put another way, he's exploiting things the programmers didn't test against.
 
Does the Japanese version handle menus differently than the American version, or does this strategy affect the item menus in any way? Every time that he pauses he winds up back on the "items" menu instead of whatever menu he was last switching to, even though one of the ways that OoT handles the menus is that you always return to whatever previous start menu that you were selecting. It doesn't just default to the items window every time you push start, it's supposed to default to the map screen, and even then only the first time you load the save.

At 4:26 he switches from the overworld map to the equipment inventory, but at 6:02 he's back to the item window. Is there a version difference that I'm unaware of? Did it default to that menu only because he just picked up a Deku nut? He moved back to the equipment menu from that screen again, but then when he pauses at 7:30 he's back on the item menu, again.

I was always under the impression that the pause menus never reset like that unless a save file had been reloaded. Is there an actual explanation for why that's happening? Unless there's something new that I'm unaware of, this is something that you'd only see in a spliced run.

I don't think there's ever been any question that Narci has talent as a speedrunner. Indeed, autistic and off kilter people seem to excel at it.

Problem is, speedrunning should be a hobby and not a life. You ain't gonna see endorsement deals from Nike out of this. You also probably can't take them to Vegas and have them count cards like Dustin Hoffman.

So, it's gonna take a hell of a lot more work to clean up this particular trainwreck.

I haven't seen the clip, but if I had to guess, he's performing Arbitrary Code Execution. Basically he loads up the console's RAM with a bunch of specific values and then triggers some kind of bad pointer operation that causes the data he put in to be run as instructions.
 
Guess I'll have to change my deadpool vote.
Cosmo isn't coming back, but it seems like Narcissa has found some purpose in life again.
I wonder how long it'll be that way.

Unrelated, I'm sure sub-9 time is possible with this ACE route.
 
See what happens when you stop crying and start doing something you are good at?

I mean yea it's only Vidya, but hey people do make careers out of it now-a-days


Good on you Cosmo

What are the rules for that one? Is it Any%?

Troonos said:
Wow. This is what speedrunning is about? That's exceptional. I thought it was record times of actually playing the game.

Well, much like auto racing, there are different categories. Narci is doing straight Any%. What you would probably be interested in are the "glitchless" runs. Or, if you have a shitload of time on your hands to watch somebody play vidya, "100%." That's where you have to basically do/get pretty every single thing in the game (levels, items, etc.).
 
If this were a movie, it would win awards.
I am legitimately hyped for my gorl Narcissa.
I love when we have happy things happen here, it’s so rare but so great.
