Speed run in 9 minutes

[LongLostLittleKen]

Used one exploit and that was it, the rest is legit. Not me playing, just random youtube video. Don't kill me.

Why? No exploration. No experimentation.

It's a speed run.

1 exploit makes the entire thing, not legit already.

dunno about this specific one but usually speedrunners have played through the games so many times that they know it like the back of their hand.

Exploiting is not speedrunning

Yep, totally invalidates his "record"

Wow, i am seriously impressed. I knew people would be using Gale to speed run but I didn't think they would be able to use him to speedrun that fast.

Cut down to 5:39 now.

Yeah, exploits don't invalidate speed runs heh.

Though no exploits speedruns can also be fun

Exploiting *is* speedrunning as long as the vanilla game isn't modified. There are glitched and glitchless categories for every game. On glitched categories, performing glitches is allowed, but that doesn't make the run easier - in fact, some glitches are so difficult to pull off consistently, it'd be easier to just not exploit the game and play normally.

[Naamtar]

Speed running has different categories for a reason, unless it's listed as "glitchless" exploits are perfectly fine so long as they don't use third party means to achieve them.

These runs are interesting and I'm always a little bit dumbfounded at how speed runners optimize a route so well.

[Chaosolous]

Speed Running is it's own unique beast.

It's honestly kind of separate from gaming in my opinion.

The ones that require excellent muscle memory like Super Mario 64 and the like are interesting. I watch them from time to time.

The ones that are just like "Do these things in this order" are boring though. Not enough physical or mental skill involved.

Some are neat. Some aren't. It's not the same as playing a game. It is its own form of game.
