CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

I was browsing my hard drive and found my old (from 2003-2004) game movies archive... and I was wondering, how many of you record your gameplay? If so, show us!

from late 2003, when I started speedrunning, a few tricks that I have up my speed that help to beat the game in under an hour...
Part1: falling down the shaft without stopping
Part2: A quick timesaver
Part3: presision jumping and doging (can be done much better)
Part4: Up the shaft quickly (a few mistakes, especially at the end)
Part5: Quickest methods to beat Torizo
Part6: Big timesaver, tough to do right.
Part7: Who says you gotta go down first? (or up last?)
Part8: How to skip the first miniboss.
Part9: Somewhat early Phazer (easy to do)
PartA: Big jump (no High Jump boots, mind you)
PartB: "All your base are belong to us"

wow ihave zsnes too but i never got that good at sm:rock:

I cannot upload (nor do I particularly want to upload) any movies, but I think I do have a few from long ago. The only one I remember is from one of the NES Kirby games: I kept recording Kirby vs Metaknight until I got a cool-looking battle in which I didn't get hit.

What I wish I had recorded was my speed run through Mario 3.

No offence guys but.....-chuckles- that is pretty nerdy.

Neh.... Nerds are nothing to sneeze at. Look at Bill Gates.

I used to record some of the games I'd play in Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and Guilty Gear X2. ^_^; got no idea where they are now.

Hehehe, I used to record compilations on the VCR, with scenes from different games kinda spliced to create a new story. Each scene was supposed to relate to the next either by its scene or music.

I should record some of my Smash Bros battles. And keep the really awesome ones. That would do, yeah.

Shut up tom

Josh, what are you talking about? You would definately agree with me on this one.

Speed runs are insane. The people who do them are insane. And nerdy. But very cool.

You're here, aren't you?

And Asian.

I'm not asian.

I'm not asian.

3 out of 4, then.

Now, now, Tom, we're geeks. There's a difference. Nerds don't wash.

And BTW, I speedran through Halo CE in 2:38 on easy, but I bet I could beat that on normal if I really tried.

...I'm just not going to comment here.

The thing is, I've only done one, and it wasn't bad. I now refuse to do another, partially because I feel it would be a waste of time, partially because I don't want any evidence that my first time through had some luck involved.

I would never do a speed run purely because of the excess amount of time involved. I just can't justify spending hour upon hour honing my skill that much. Besides, using slo-mo and other tricks seems cheaty.

Might have been fun to record some Freedom Force battles... showing how chaotic battles were when using a character who had grenades and Deja Duplication... the city ends up looking like a warzone

Yes, I wouldn't want to do a speed run of a longer game. Can anyone imagine a speed run of FFX? It would be ridiculous. A Mario speed run, however, takes less than 15 minutes, even for non-experts.

Of course, if you use any emulation tricks it is no longer a speed run. When a person tries to beat the game as fast as possible, not as fast as their skill will allow, it is technically called a time attack.

it's also pretty nerdy to join a Christian Anime board and talk about anime and videogames

in essence we are all nerds

No, I honestly find taping yourself playing videogames a lot more nerdy than talking about them. Both are nerdy. However, I would not consider myself a nerd, just a game-playing, manga-reading, anime-watching, sports freak (I play sports as well as watch them). I guess I am a half nerd then huh?

Sports probably save you at least three-quarters, which means you're only 25% nerd. If you're a soccer fan, though, you go back up another 25%, which would indeed make you half nerd. If you like hockey, then you're hopeless.

Before I go to off-topic I just want to conclude by saying I play:
-Soccer
-Basketball
-Football

I would like to try fencing (which would bring nerd level, no offence Josh) or wrestling. How is hockey nerdy?

Everyone pm me the rest.

Denial. It haunts us all.


*On Topic*
Isn't there a site where they have a bunch of these to download and post your times?
I think I read of one in EGM but that was so long ago...

I'm looking for a site that has good Genesis videos, too.
