    I actually got introduced to speed running from watching Games Done Quick, first watching Gymnast speed through Ocarina of Time. I don't have the skill or patience to speed run myself, but watching other people break some of my favorite games wide open is a joy to behold.

    We'll be having our summer 2020 marathon later this year on our Twitch channel, so keep an eye out for that. :)

I know quite a few current/prior WR people and they say they always feel great when they watch the clips of exactly how their record was beaten, because it means there's still more to work on in the game and new techniques to learn. Speedrunning is one of those things where its only competitive when the game's effectively been "beaten", and its down to a few people squabbling over a half-second difference in record.

    Now that I've had a couple days to stew on it, I want to share some thoughts. Consider this as criticism of the research/journalistic aspects of the video.
    First, I'm a bit disappointed I wasn't consulted at all for this video. Even just as a sanity check for the material being presented and to give a go-ahead on releasing the excerpts, it would have been nice to have a heads-up that this was on the way. I'm not hard to reach.
    Second, I am a bit disappointed how little there is in the way of original or combined research. The vast majority of the flow and ideas were lifted directly from the History chapters in my book. This isn't an accusation of plagiarism, but it became a video summary of my written content and interviews when there are still other angles you could have investigated to provide something beyond what I describe in the book. I appreciate that you used my book as a reference, but there are plenty of other sources with information beyond what I was able to capture that are worth including as part of the coverage.
    In any case, thank you for covering the topic and providing further exposure to speedrunning and its roots. It was an enjoyable refresher on the major milestones, and was fit for a general gaming audience that may not have encountered speedrunning before.

    My favorite speed-run is when Toufool achieved a new world record in Diddy Kong Racing while playing for one of the GDQ’s. All the tricks, and glitches he performed and knew were outstanding to watch live.

    I grew up in the 80's and high scores were the big thing. I once walked into an arcade where a guy had been playing Asteroids Deluxe for almost 8 hours on one quarter. I guess speed running is now the new 'high score' these days.

      Well score based games went out of favor once games were able to fit more than a few KBs of Game Data in them. Back then the high score thing made such games have more replay value. Youd be hard pressed to find a game with a score system outside of Sports games these days lol

    Also, since this video is playing Kirby 3 music I gotta say why I find it one of the more interesting TAS’s.
    RTA time is usually from when you gain control of the character to when you e beaten the game and lost control.
    TAS is from power on for the system to the last input on the controller (regardless if the game is actually beaten at this moment or not... just so long as the game becomes beaten).
    In the RTA for Kirby 3 on the final boss you get a better time by controlling Kirby in phase three to kill the boss faster and get to the end credits faster.
    In a TAS you can move Kirby to a certain position and stop pressing inputs because kirbys weapon has an active hit box at all times and the boss will kill itself while the TAS has given a few frames less to complete the run.
    Basically a TAS is rated on its file size. As long as it completes the game and meets the conditions of whatever category is run it’s about optimizing the run by making the smallest file size that can do this.

    I really admire the amount of time these speedrunners put into their craft. It's truly insane. When I was younger I used to play Megaman X all the time. Whenever I was bored or had an hour to kill I'd turn it on and beat it; sometimes multiple times a day over several years. When I found out people speedran the game, I watched them play... even overlooking the strategies and glitches found by their community, the skill level of the top players put my gameplay to shame. I had already practiced the game for years, had most of it down to muscle memory, yet I knew I wouldn't be able to compete at the top level. That realization turned me away from ever becoming a speedrunner myself but I can enjoy spectating.
