Competition for being the first to complete the rundown would be interesting.

You streamers should set that up
median quarry
It would be long claimed by the people who no life this game like basement goblins before any streamer managed to gather enough people to watch.
Instead a better contest would be which streamer has the most efficient party. Efficient being how quickly they respond to threats, how they handle moving into a room, communication, ectra. Judge it by a 4 man basis and see whos the top tier.
snow sundial
Streamers did do a thing where they got teams together and saw who could beat R3 the fastest I am pretty sure
median quarry
So many contest ideas.
glad nest
Plenty of streamers are quite easily able to partake in a contest like that, even without viewships during the initial portions of the release. I also think that there'd be a fair few people who don't really care about spoilers what would watch a "midnight release", for the lack of a better term, of the new rundown.
I think that a competition if it were to be set up would be well received.

Tbh, glitched speedruns are more interesting than glitchless.
Just need some more interesting glitches to get faster times with.
solar estuary
Yeah, they are to see what strange glitches people can find
But glitchless runs are more impressive in my opinion, as a viewer of some speed runs every now and then
Both are cool
Just for different reasons
bleak crane
Most other games, Zelda in particular, glitches and performing glitches is the main appeal imo.
I couldn't stand watching glitchless any% or 100% for OOT.

Arbitrary Code Execution.
next trout
What'd you want to use that for?
solar estuary
I like accepting the challenge the game provides and trying to do really well under those rules, but beating it by any means necessary besides cheats, that's also cool
bleak crane
Speed runs, presumably.
Pretty sure OOT any% still uses ACE.
ACE mostly only works in older games, though, since they're far more crudely constructed.
Also, GTFO doesn't really have buffered inputs or RNG tied to inputs, which are both fairly important for most ACE setups.
vernal glen
We saved nearly 20 seconds on A1 by picking up baby through wall 
solar estuary
Lmao, very epic gamer move
fresh light
I'm just not a fan of intentionally going slower to meet some criteria for legitimacy.
glitched runs aren't necessarily illegitimate, it's just currently nobody runs them and therefore without competition, there's no category, and without a category, there isn't a reason to run it, it is a cycle we are going to be stuck in until a group decides to run a glitched run even if it's not currently "legitimate"
We just need ACE in GTFO and then we're good.
the problem with arbitrary code execution is with games and systems being more powerful, being able to execute arbitrary code is inherently a security concern. while for speedruns it may be fine, it would not be fine to be using ACE in pug matches; while you may be talking about it just in speedrunning terms, it has other things tied to it regarding current more software

I'll add a bit more to this in saying that I feel this game would miss out on some of the fun of viewing a speedrun if you simply skipped through all the arduous portions of a level, or even part of them. I know for me personally knowing/figuring out how a group skipped an entire room of enemies, one cycled the one enemy giving me troubles, how they handled a certain alarm, etc. is the enjoyment of watching. Seeing some of this skipped would imo spoil the fun of watching the run.

subjective
glad nest
Obviously. Everything is more or less subjective. Hence my saying 'imo', 'I feel', and 'for me personally' instead of including everyone.
gritty crater
with that i imply that it doesn't qualify as an argument against that category or all categories that don't match your "personal, opinion, feel"
solar estuary
It's his own personal reasoning on a discussion about how some people feel about this topic, he's just sharing his own personal reasoning for why he thinks how he does.
That's as good of an argument you can get on subjective topics

@vernal glen can I ask why you jump so much when hammering things? I'm just curious if that affects the stealth mechanics when you're bunny hopping towards inactive sleepers
I'm still new to all this but your runs amazes me
severe willow
yes, while in air they dont hear you
median quarry
Amazing, I'll try to incorporate that into my playstyle
teal flare
also, jumping allows you avoid better the attacks of the strikers (the melee guys)
brisk fjord
sliding too
median quarry
As sleepers generally aim for your feet
constantly bunny hopping helps get around that
With ranged guys i literally run zig zag and look down
and i never get hit
@median quarry
Amazing but
Why look down?
wind coral
didn't work for the titans in R3D1
median quarry
Why look down?
@median quarry Looking down on their terrible aim
They aim at the chest/Neck/Head @median quarry
And when you're standing up looking down angles your body forward
Decreasing the chance that they hit you
wind coral
did they decrease the striker range?
wind coral
because when I jump backwards I usually don't get hit
median quarry
Uhhh
I don't think so
i think its the same
maybe your footwork got better without you realising

Duly noted! Much appreciated!

C1 strat we used when we had no tool but high ammo was: ||2 players hammer error alarm, other 2 go in with high damage guns (we had sniper and burst Cannon). Big bad will face one player giving the other a nice view of his back, sub out with hammer players if too low on ammo or health||

A faster strat is to use 7 mines on the top door. Lure him out in a straight line and he’s dead in 5 seconds

All I want to know
How the hell do you all full sprint through rooms
Without waking anything up
Flashlight blazing
smacking enemies
Balls to the wall
I don't get it
Like I just watched Wesley absolutely anal two Scouts back to back without hesitation without them even noticing him, while standing in their tentacles like a badass. Someone, please, anyone, explain HOW
I don't even want to speedrun, I just want to be good enough to not wake up the entire room because I klonked the fucking floor
small portal
Jumping while sprinting only makes "landing" sound
So bunnyhopping won't make sleepers immediately wake up like sprinting
For the scout, scout only soft triggers for massive lights and sprinting.
wind silo
It will alert them if you bunnyhopping within their alert range (alert radius)
But barely happen unless you’re testing their range zzzz
fresh light
short answer: git gud haha hammer go brrr
short answer: knowing mechanics and practice
long answer:
* like dh3014 said, bhopping only makes noises when landing, this allows you to keep your sprint speed while only making minimal noises (sleepers will wake up if you continue to bhop near them as you are making noise still)
* keeping a flashlight on is something you can do when you don't care or know you won't make sleepers start scanning (if you are about to kill them, it doesn't matter that they could wake up)
* scouts have a ~1.5 second delay before waking from their tentacles being touched AND only wake up due to detecting with feelers, physical contact, gunfire, and room agro (scream); therefor you can bhop right up to the scout going through it's tentacles if you can still kill the scout while before the "grace period" is up
if you want practice bhopping, try sprint jumping in levels like A1 or A2 with some sleepers nearby (or anywhere); just make sure to jump after about a step
if you want practice scout kills, try B2 z88 high (if you are going to practice solo) or (if you are practicing with others) C1 zones with bulkhead or C2 ||z13|| since there are a good amount in there

it's also funny how you're kiting like 5 or 6 strikers yet the shooter kept hitting you. They really do the most damage, I swear

hollow grail
Not really speed running related per se, but I've seen some vids with people doing really long jumps from (seemingly) standstill, without waking sleepers up
How is this done?
soft oyster
W + shift + space
Sleepers can’t “hear” you when you are in the air, they can only hear it when you land
The jumping make you move at sprinting speed while the sleepers think you are moving at a walking pace

if you hit the doors between the panels, you can do more damage to the door (the thought is you are causing the hammer to collide with both panels or making it hit the door several times)

If it's a truly major skip 2 minutes is plausible.
You would essentially need to get extraction to start early w/out requirements.

but it was very preliminary running still, got a hell of a lot to optimize
gilded forge
Out of curiousity, where did you guys "bottleneck" so to speak before getting in...
Most noticeable one I can point out in your run is the final alarm. If you send 1 person back immediately after the final team scan, they’ll get back to the extraction scan just as the other 3 finish searching 35A - Which ideally is all that needs searched at that point to get to 6.

We were doing that strat as well

Yea we had started doing that after the posted run, sending Hunter back

It's been helping, but we got mad cucked by HDD spawns today

They only ran the run a few times to take a run off the board.
strong kiln
was for memes lol
glad nest
C2PE in premise is very simple. Getting 15 GLP is the really only major time sink due to RNG of spawn locations imo. Surge scans can be capped out and done simultaneously, so they're not a huge issue. Shadow scouts can be tricky in the dark areas they are in, but with practice are rather easily dispatched. The run back with the sphere should be simple too. The essentially 38 minute time could in my eyes easily be basically halved with better RNG and better routing.

damn people beat that mission in 38 minutes?

When you guys are doing speed running, are their skill sets you need to know other then like memorizing the map ?

Locations of objective items, locations of terminals, order of events, possible manipulations of AI pathing, bhopping, slide spamming, occiput hitting/multikilling, comms, and luck really is about all I think you'd need to know. I suppose also also knowing when a run is dead is helpful so you don't waste time doing a run that yields little to no results.

Been using that for E1 Main, but wondering if it could also be a strat for B2 PE.
Might work on B3 PE but you'd need to somehow kill everything on the blood door first.

Just tried the strat on B3 PE, use the mines to clear regular sleepers and close a door. Then yes, the birther only scream after it breaks the door and got killed b4 it gives birth.
Small sample, though.

Done it on two E1 runs, so it should be pretty consistent.

It is not fully consistent. However it does tend to prefer to do that as I’ve noticed. I think the Mother prefers to more thank Tank as Tank can charge out
