I would just like to point out that fierce deity early was not discovered by GameChap, only put in his video. It was discovered by Fullgrowngaming on twitch.tv during his 24 hour marathon stream of MM3D.

@Spoony_Tech The demo, along with the full version of the game on the old 3ds, have downscaled textures/

How did I know I would come in here and see a bunch of people complaining because they know nothing about the speedrunning scene?

Oh hey, a boring looking car added solely for product placement. Ugh. I don't care if it is free, I don't like product placement shoved in my face.

@GloverMist Although the base game is essentially the same, I believe the Eshop version is the equivalent of Cave story +, which does have a good bit more content than the original pc version.

Just seems like another person who is stuck in the past.

@DerpSandwich For many games, there IS a glitchless category (mostly for runs with lots of big skips). Even if many people don't run it, anyone can run a glitchless run of a game and if noone has done so before, get the record. If people call you dumb for running a category that others don't run (so long as it's reasonable) then they are the dumb ones. Who knows, one person can even get more people to run the category for competition. It's the community that decides the categories, and it's not like the only type of speedrun is any%.

As if this didnt seem a ton like dark souls already. The message system is pretty much the exact same thing as the one in dark souls (not a bad thing to copy one of the best games of all time IMO, of course)

Bandages.... i guess modern devs think that adding bandages everywhere makes characters seem cool. There are bandages on their SHOES, for pete's sake! That doesn't even make sense! Knuckes is the only one where bandages even make sense, since he actually gets into real combat. Also, nothing screams cool more than a pink hedgehog in a miniskirt -_-

@rjejr
"Sport: n.a contest or game in which people do certain physical activities according to a specific set of rules and compete against each other."

They physically manipulate the controller, there are specific sets of rules and there is competition. Seems like a fit to me.

@unrandomsam The difference is that one is a speedrun in which the community agrees on a set of glitches and bugs that they can use to exploit the game and get the fastest time. These usually take actual skill to execute. You are EXPECTED to cheat the game to beat it that fast. Most speedrunners do it for the fun and the community, not just to win.

This is a competition in which there was no agreement upon bugs or glitches that could be used, and along with that, the way they say it makes it sound like it was a Miiverse posting bug rather than a game exploit. This WAS purely a competition to win, and as such, things like this arent allowed.

Speedrunning and cheating in a competition are NOT the same thing.

@Tasuki I don't have a problem with him being unhappy with nintendo, i have a problem with him just bashing nintendo then praising sony when they do the same thing nintendo was being bashed for.

@Yasume Wow, empty promises and other such guff? That is ANY corporation. Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, even Valve all do this. It's what companies do to create interest. Get off your high horse and realize that it isn't a nintendo-exclusive issue.
