Speed Runs

[spamurai]

Have any of you guys attempted any speed runs?

I've recently been looking through a bunch on youtube. Mainly Zelda and Pokemon ones.

The glitches these guys know of are insane... I thought I had a good knowledge of glitches and bugs in gameboy games, but now I just feel like the dumb one in the class xD

Here's a couple of cool ones if you are wondering what I'm talking about:

Zelda: Ocarina of Time on an iQue:

Zelda: Links Awakening on a Jpn Gameboy:

Pokemon Red on a Gameboy:

The glitches used in the Pokemon Red speed run blew my mind 0_o

Also, a few people participate in Animal Crossing speed runs. Check this out:

Animal Crossing: Population Growing on a Gamecube:

I'd love to know if anyone on TBT has done anything like this. I wouldn't mind giving it a go one day.

I enjoy doing Metal Gear Solid 2&3 speedruns. I'm not that fast, but I can generally get both down to around 1:12:00 for the full game. That's if I've got some meta luck and am hauling through everything though.

I do Mirror's Edge speed runs.
My record time is 49 minutes, world record is 34 minutes.
