@Gridatttack TAS are timed from console turn-on though, so if we converted to RTA I'd be 4:54.03. Not discrediting though, but the difference is pretty big still.

@NintyMan Yeah, I remember it back when Mewtwo as just released. Dunno if it was caused by its patch though.

2nd for Tumblr!

And most, if not all of this mess could be avoided if NoA didn't come up with the rampant stagnant rhinoceros of store-exclusive amiibos. Didn't they see this coming?

The name really makes it sound like a free-to-play game... after Trozei and now Rumble getting that treatment it was expectable that PMD would get the same. I really like the series, so I'm a bit worried at how "playable" the game would be for free. There will be likely little to no story if that's the case.

Comments discrediting the run for using glitches incoming.

And adding to why he's using the Japanese VC, it's because the glitch that he uses to get the bottle relies on an emulation bug. The chinese iQue does have faster text and less lag, but that glitch crashes the game.

"no online gaming"

Like I said on the previous article, that's actually wrong, you can play online as long as the games themselves are updated. And from the major games I think only Smash and Monster Hunter got updates since then.

"no online gaming"

That's actually wrong, you can play online as long as the games themselves are updated.

@DontPlayDumb I hope you're being sarcastic.

@No-longer-postin Your first sentence makes no sense lol.

@Espy "Am I the only one that thinks glitch-free speedruns should take prevalence over glitched ones?"

You're like 90% of Nintendo Life or Kotaku etc.

Game gets announced/released, people criticize them because of micro-transactions. Hackers bypass them, people criticize them and want it to get patched. Nice.

Out in America too.

Worth noting that people banned were all using public headers, which is the kind of "CD key" on Nintendo games. That is, on their servers it's like hundreds of people were playing the very same game online. To have a private header you'd need a legit cart from a game with online capabilities in first place AND be able to dump it, which actually needs a Gateway (and defeats the purpose for most people since you'll have to actually buy a game on most cases). So almost all people reporting bans were Sky3DS users (which can't really do anything itself as it doesn't exploit the system directly, instead it pretends to be a legit game, so you'd need another GW user to dump a private header for you). There are other ways to avoid ban like using CIAs or something, but I won't get into detail (and they don't seem like a long therm safety precaution).

I don't pirate on 3DS, but if I did, I wouldn't play online for safety purposes. It was just a matter of time until Nintendo admitted defeat on security and took the Sony/Microsoft route of banning. There's the logging rumor but I myself think it's bs.

Wow, people still can't draw the line between speedrunning and casual gaming. Here's a spoon-feed, go to the Leaderboards and search for "no cloud" or "glitchless", the Any% records are still ~11 minutes.

@Trippinator That'll keep happening as long Kotaku/etc posts about speedrunning, especially ones like this. Remember Cosmo's one, or the TASBot plaing SMB2?

If anyone's sparing a code I'd love one! [email protected]

This wouldn't be a big issue for me, if eShop BR's prices weren't a big joke on major games while digital-only and more obscure stuff are actually cheaper than US/CA. There's a very slim chance they'll fix that since the digital copies don't have to match local prices anymore (since they'll cease to exist). But it feels unlikely since despite showing in Reais, not only the prices are ridiculous, but you can't even pay with non-International cards, and the same cards can buy games on CA eshop for R$~45 less (~19.78 CAD, 16.77 USD). You almost have zero reason not to register your NNID on Canada if it's fresh (I'll have a few losses if I do, but I'm considering it). There's also the OR/AS demo that took like 3 days longer to arrive on the BR eshop than it did on US/CA.

tl;dr if they fix the eShop, I may forgive them for the time being

(also I'm definitively jumping off the boat for the next generation of portable consoles, if nothing is done about this)

Amazing record by Joden, and there's one on Super Meat Boy too. And I'm really looking forward AGDQ. This year has started great for speedruns.

Inb4 hurr not legit because uses glitches.

@Kirk http://deanyd.net/smw/index.php?title=Leaderboards Here are the leaderboards for multiple categories. I believe Low% is glitchless.

@OMGILikeTurtlez It adds competition to the game, and it's fun in its way. I speedran I wanna be the guy months ago (warpless, my PB is something like 35 minutes) and I found it fun.

Absolute bullpoopoodoodoocacapoopledoople. Why not just release the damn demo on eShop? It's a >demo<.

@Spakiness It won't be worth the price if it's as expensive as the capture board though.

The Smash pros are going to love this.

You mean 18 minutes and 10 seconds...

<3 Masterjun.

"Hopefully more interesting than last time"

This.

Looks like a legit technique, no need to patch.

Apparently about 200,000 Vivillons have been traded since the event's first announce, wow. And it seems the old problem of your Vivillon not showing up publicly on the GTS due to high traffic of them have returned.

Heard some people are setting up ghetto servers for Pokémon/Brawl, hope they'll actually work. (but doubt they'd be any smooth)

Must have this!... but Paris.

@PrincessEevee9 You don't even seem to know what a TAS is about and its purpose, lol.

Being able to run TASes on console is really impressive. I enjoyed the AGDQ TAS block a lot!

Smash!!
