I think some speedrunners feel like their runs are undeserved. The current Minecraft record holder feels feels the same about his run too

Yeah i think thats a commen speedrunner thing. If a run had some sort of big mistake or to many small once, its just trash.

I heard it's quite glitchy, most likely a speedrunner's paradise. :lol:

Unless it’s game breakingly glitchy, then they’ll make a bunch of “impossible to speedrun” documentaries on YouTube :lol:

I got fed up with the forest one, which I see is the one they're running. The TOTA level is definitely impossible to complete without cheating, but maybe there are some glitches that could be exploited :mefiant:

All Cages - N64/DS in 02h 00m 09s by Payman - 1st place

Payman wrote:Early game was basically as good as it could get. Mid-game was fine, until collision made me lose about 40ish seconds from both Canopy and Whale Bay combined. Late game was okay, except for the double lum boost fail in Beneath Rock and Lava. End game was kind of in the middle, Iron Mountains lost over 1 minute from dumb shenanigans while EVERYTHING else was great. This run was close to sub 2 hours but unfortunately rust got the better of me, I don't plan on giving up anytime soon for the milestone

Congrats Eric, the slide section almost got you but it went well in the end. That must have been stressful though. :paranormal:

Thank you! NGL i think in the end it was the most intense run of my life which you can definitly hear from my voice and reaction. Im really glad the game gave me optimal rng at the end.

Yeah, I suppose the final boss made up for the slide section. There was no telling you'd get it done in under an hour until the very end, so I can imagine the stress!

Payman wrote:Early game was bad, lost good chunk in Tornado Skip, Bayou GLM, and Water & Ice. Mid game was good, got the hard glitches fast with some decent movement in the levels. Late game was alright, but had some hiccups here and there with movement. End game was finally acceptable, got a good gold in Iron Mountains that I'm satisfied with and the only major mistake was dying in Prison Ship slide.
