  • In Resident Evil 4 Speedrunning there are quite a lot of categories, but none are even remotely as difficult or brutal as no merchant professional, today im going to show you exactly what makes the no merchant professional speedrun world record so impressive and how its getting more and more optomized all the time.

      It ultimately just come out to be a slower version of a regular run.
      Compare it to like Nemesis% for RE3 which alters the route to accommodate all the extra boss fights (and needing to have the skill and consistency to win all those fights), NOM just means you're doing the same thing but with less to work with, like a Pistol-Start Only Speedrun of Doom.

      @@Oilyoxygen i did the run a couple months ago and believe me, playing no merchant makes you really a profesional of re4, you learn enemy movements and patterns, use the knife to it limits, and find the most cost efficient ways to kill bosses that you would just rocket in normal runs, it may be slower sure, but at the end you really felt like a damn pro re4 player.

      @@conqueeftador5332 Well another thing considering how optimized the RE4 speedrun is, wearing the gangster outfit is actually slower than not wearing it. The animation for catching Ashley is a lot slower and you lose a couple of seconds over the course of the run, but I do believe it saves time when you play as her so that might make up for it.

      @@Resimaster I think it really means its niche and more of a novelty run for entertainment to see if a runner can do it once. With a competitive run, you can find runners actually grinding a run which breeds competition.
      TL;DR: Meme runs = entertainment/often run only once for speed runners out of curiosity. Competitive = Runners focus on that category and optimize it as much as possible

    On saddler if you use the handgun and shoot out the eyes on the back of his legs it’s even faster.
    Haven’t tried it but if you add in some magnum hits in there and you could probably zoom that fight even more.

    I actually did a speed run that hit just under 5 hours. No merchant, but in 1-2 just before you go the the house to end the chapter you go down to the fish area and get all of the fish there, and every egg you get you have to keep. It makes the no merchant much harder. I call it no merchant breakfast club. You are only allowed to use the fish and eggs at the saddler fight.
