Crisis

Pokemon Legends ZA completed in 7 Hours, 38 Minuites and 22 Seconds.

Start of a new game, got the 1st sub 8 hour time, let's see how much more we can push this game.

3 people currently live attempting to beat my record.

Bad news, i might lose it in 5 hours.....

Pokemon Violet completed in 4 hours, 48 muinuites and 46 seconds, 45.3 seconds ahead of personal best

Good news everyone: I got recy for Violet back

The end screen of Pokemon Violet, with a timer on the bottom right reading 4 hours, 54 minuites and 37 seconds, beating my previous personal best by 26 minuites and 32 seconds.

I knew the Switch 2 was powerfull, but damn....

Somehow I managed to get the first Sub 5 in Pokemon Violet.

I'm still in disbelief.

Live Now (30 Min Late, oops) www.twitch.tv/crisisaurus

Poster of the Switch Quinfecta Starting Tomorrow 10 am British Summer Time. Order of Games: 1) Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu 2) Pokemon Sword 3) Pokemon Shining Pearl 4) Pokemon Legends Arceus 5) Pokemon Scarlet

Tomorrow I try one of the longest challenges I will ever do. I will try to beat every Main Line Switch Game in order back to back, starting from Pokemon Let's Go and ending with Pokemon Scarlet. All Any% Glitchless (or equivelent) in an attempt to do it all in under 20 Hours: Will be live on Twitch.

Pokemon Legends Arceus final cutscene with a final time of 3 hours 44 minuites and 50 seconds.

Practicing makes, not quite so perfect but definately an improvement.

My Arceus Any% PB has improved by 5 min (yay) but still not where I want it.... yet.

Still gonna push for closer to a 3:40 time.

Out of curiosity what Pokémon Speedrun do you consider having either a good or perfect balance between Catching, Battling and Questing?

My first guess would probably be Let's Go, but curious if you had other examples in mind.

The end of Shining Pearl, with a final time of 3 hours 21 minuites and 28 seconds, a 7 muinuite 19 second improvement.

Now that's a CHONKEY PB, wasn't expeting a run like this for this game (considering I've only been taking this game seroiusly this year).

I don't know if I want to try to get Sub 3:20 or I should move on, but man I love the improvement i've been having with Pokemon Games recently.

Golem Used Stone Edge

Palkia's HP dropped to 0

It was a critical hit

The scene showing Palkia getting a critical hit, as well as a livesplit times showing that I was 7 minutes ahead of personal best.

*sigh*

I'll be paying close attention then...

(If you do end up doing this, then all I'll say is LMFAO, as well as I'm sorry)

Oh my, hope your hand gets better, don't push yourself too hard, your hand health is certainly not worth for the Quinfecta.

During this race I managed to get a minor PB in PLA Any%, but I know I have much to improve in this game to be where I want to be for the quinfecta later this year.

A split of Champion Cynthia, the final split of the game, showing being ahead of PB comparison by 1 hour, 4 minuites and 34 seconds.

Speedrunners will probalby never get a split like this in their runs

A screenshot showing the credis of Pokemon Shining Pearl, with a timer showing a completed time of 3 hours 28 minuites and 47 seconds

Did a Speedrun of Shining Pearl today, just expecting to be a little better than before, but I guess 8 months of playing other Pokemon games have made me improve this game by OVER AN HOUR. And while I still have alot to improve, this is a huge confidence booster fo my future Quinfecta attempt,

What do you have in mind? I just want any excuse to play ScaVi again.

2024 has been a year....

What, you expectimg me to write an enteire paragrapgh on how this year went?

Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu completed with a time of 3 Hours 2 Minuites and 36 Seconds. This is a screenshot of showing Starmie's Stats, being Ok at Special Attack, Special Defence and Speed, Good at Defence, Very Good at HP and Fantastic at Attack.

Ever since the let's go tournament i participated in i've been haunted by a PB that was 3:04 pace but due to a missclick, lost 2 minuites and became a 3:06.

All I wanted at the time was a sub 3:05.

Then at 2am today, I decided on a whim to do one more run.

And i'm glad I did.

3:02! HELL YEAH!

Does Shrek count as a Christmas movie?

While I do have a few issues with the film, overall it was a very good film and I enjoyed it.

The characterisation was spot on, and I loved every reference I was able to both see and hear, although the pacing was a bit too fast for my liking, the film could have been slightly longer.

IT'S TIME! SEE Y'ALL ON THE OTHER SIDE!

I guess the other idea I had is "Why Speedrunners don't use the grass type starter"

But aside from that I've got no clue

Let me guess, since this is based on the Toy Story Meme, my guess the Video is about "Why no one Speedruns Pokémon Scarlet anymore"

It would be funny if that was the exact title.

YouTube video by Quadernetz [TAS] Adventure Tours in 2:32:17.5

If any one is interested, here's the link to the first TAS of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (DS) Adventure Mode Done by Quadernetz: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtJi...

Also if anyone organising Marathons wants this game in their Games List, let me know.

(I'll post the VOD of my run soon)

Using a Completion Ticket against Metal Sonic

But also, we can skip MORE long missions that we couldn't do before.

(Assuming we have enough challenge hearts to do so)

Missions such as Beat Tails, Beat Metal Sonic, Beat Shadow & Beat Omega that were long can now be skipped.

Combined with a good endgame, that's how I managed to get that time.

Menu cursor hovering over Quit Mission

Initially, I thought that this could only be done by failing a mission, so we could only skip annoying Missions if we had a fast fail mission nearby

HOWEVER, you can actually do this in any mission by quitting the mission and trying again. This not only is sometimes actually faster than failing...

A Ski Shooting Mission Failed

A White Shy Guy giving Mario a Completion Ticket

To explain the new discovery, I'll explain the main way we exploit this game

We use "death abuse" to be able to skip missions that we don't like but how this game handles it is a bit different

However, instead of skiping the current mission, we get a ticket form a shy guy that can skip ANY Mission

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games DS Adventure Tours finished in 2 hours 36 Minuites and 53 Seconds

Recently Mario & Sonic Winter Games Adventure Tours had a TAS made for it and there was a somewhat new discovery that was made that made parts of the game faster, along with other optimisations.

So i decided to do a run on a whim and Managed to improve the record by 5 MINUITES!! That's crazy.

Pokemon Legends Arceus completed in 3 Hours 51 Minuites and 4 Seconds.

De-rusting Legends Arceus recently has been an interesting ride. This game has the most different menuing compared to the other Switch Pokemon Games, along with the other things this game offers tah makes it difficult, but hoping to improve drastically. Sub 3:50 is the next goal.
