What is Sup Forums's opinion on speedrunning?
Waste of time that could be spent on playing other games, or pure dedication to be the best?

Speedrunning: An indescribable compulsion to manifest autism.
Jaxon Reed
i like it because seeing how much you can break
and exploit a game is fun.
but since it requires dedication to do well Sup Forums will call it autistic
Liam Roberts
I see speedrunners the same way I see completionists, one coin/life runs, lel crazy combo fags
i.e. pure autists that might entertain
Nolan Adams
some games are really great for it and others arent
fucking 6 hours "speedruns"
William Cooper
>6 hour speedruns
I can't even describe the hatred that I feel for these people, these games just CAN NOT be gone through quick
I MEAN JUST LOOK AT SHIT
Tyler Harris
It's the logical progression of displaying skill in single player games. If you follow the skill of single player games to the ultimate limit, you'll end up doing insane challenge runs or outright speedrunning. With multiplayer games, your ultimate display of skill come down to tournaments and participating in e-sports.
William Ortiz
Recognize it requiring skill and dedication, but it's the type of skill (rote memorization) that I personally don't take joy in.
Brandon King
>GTA: San Andreas 100% speedrun
>World record is 14 hours and 21 minutes
that requires some crazy amount of dedication
Kevin Hernandez
At what point does a speed run stop being a speed run?
Benjamin Ward
If it's longer than 2 1/2 hours imo

Speedrun that respects the boundaries of the game and doesn't rely on exploiting glitches or bugs, only on the skill of the player are great.
Speedruns like the one in OP's gif are autistic cancer.
Isaiah Reyes
>2 1/2 hrs
If it's longer than 30 minutes, it's not a speedrun.
Easton Robinson
>Session time
>40 hours

William Hughes
I like seeing how much I can cum
And exploiting ponies is fun
but since it requires dedication to do well Sup Forums will call it autistic

I used to love watching speed runs on YouTube when I as younger. I was never good enough at any game to record one but I remember trying to speed run the original Portal.

Glitched speedruns are fun, but player ability can get the way of the glitches so TAS is the best.
Isaac Hughes
I think it's an interesting concept in theory but it attracts the worst autistic manchildren so I never bothered following the scene.
Jayden King
They're occasionally enjoyable to watch, if you've beaten the game in question, but if you actually waste time running games or watching streamers for hours on end, there is something very wrong with you.
Wyatt Rogers
They're great to watch if they use high skill/technique. Speed runs that use glitches are awful though.
Brody Howard
>Portal
Actually one of the speedrunning games that I don't really like watching since it's just too fast

Parker Brown
When I was a kid I used to play the fuck out of Metroid Fusion. I went for a 1:59 or better run and got 2 hours, shit pissed me off.
Soeedruns are fun to watch since it showcases a ridiculous amount of skill and dedication. It's refined autism that is usually enjoyable to watch.
Matthew Murphy
This desu, watching the occasional speedrun is fun, but actually trying to seriously do it yourself and watching that shit for hours on end is downright aspergers tier
Jace Nelson
It's TAS btw
Henry Brooks
The 8 minute one is almost the same

Sometimes I think it's because of this that GDQ became "nofunallowed"
Nathaniel Martinez
it was kind of cool with games like OoT where they're breaking the game but with most modern games that are little more than glorified hallways it's pretty pointless
Ian Jones
It's just another way of playing the game.
