whilst Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 DarkeSword Edit: This was split from the DKC2 album thread. Feel free to organize your speedruns/races in this thread. in the meantime you guys should watch the speed runs on speeddemosarchive. they still amaze me every time i watch them. i'm playing dkc again! i just beat dkc2, so i'll start it again if i finish dkc before this comes out.

Emunator Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 I'm going to attempt another speed run of DKC2 later in the week - my best time is 2:51 for a 102% complete run and it's my 7th attempt. I'm hoping to get it down to 2:30 or better! Quote
whilst Posted February 22, 2010 Author Posted February 22, 2010 And yeah, later on this week I'll try and find a way to get a live stream going so you guys can watch me speed run the game all the way through in one sitting. I might even pick up a cheap microphone so you can hear me get pissed off at the Lost World levels Will you be playing the game on 'hard' difficulty? And yeah lost world levels are insaneeeeeeee. Quote
Crulex Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Wow, really? That's awesome I was honestly just doing the art 'cause I genuinely love this project and DKC2 and wanted to help out, so that's a nice bonus. Thanks dude And yeah, later on this week I'll try and find a way to get a live stream going so you guys can watch me speed run the game all the way through in one sitting. I might even pick up a cheap microphone so you can hear me get pissed off at the Lost World levels Will you be doing a real run or a tool assisted run? I can't believe it takes you less than 3 hours to completely beat it 102%. That's pretty amazing, man. Quote
odber Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Will you be doing a real run or a tool assisted run? If it were a tool assisted run, we'd be watching him playing it all day long. Quote
halc Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 as far as i know, emu gets by on pure skill alone Quote
Emunator Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Yeah, there's no point in doing a TAS live I'm not really that good, but apparently under 3 hours is a respectable time. The standing record, as far as I can tell, is 1:30, almost an hour less than my goal for the upcoming run. I tend to die often but somehow still manage to finish with a solid time We'll see how things work out though, I'd like to do this in a way that everyone will be able to watch. Quote

Yeah, I think you can just sign up at livestream, set it to desktop mode, and use an emunator to play the rom. Quote
Crulex Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 If it were a tool assisted run, we'd be watching him playing it all day long. I can't believe I said something that stupid. Sorry. Sleep Dep. catching up. Quote
AMT Posted February 22, 2010 Posted February 22, 2010 Oh man, I'd love to do a race like this, but it's been far too long since I've 102%ed it. Anyone up for a fastest straight playthrough competition? Quote
TheMaverickk Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Oh man, I'd love to do a race like this, but it's been far too long since I've 102%ed it. Anyone up for a fastest straight playthrough competition? I'm interested in it myself, would be a lot of fun. Not sure if I could do it 102% as fast as possible mind you. I've never speed run the game, but I know I can beat it really fast. I've memorized pretty much everything in the game by heart I've played it that much. So at least I'd know where everything is.

AMT Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Anyone else interested in joining? Let's get some people to try, record the video of it if you can! Just a straight playthrough, any percent. Quote
Crulex Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Anyone else interested in joining? Let's get some people to try, record the video of it if you can! Just a straight playthrough, any percent. I don't know if I can record it, because half of my equipment isn't working right, but I'd do it for the hype anyway. It's been so long since I've played it, so a playthrough sounds good to me. Quote
Mirby Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 I don't have the equipment, or else I'd join... I know this game quite well; one of the first games I remember playing (traded in a non-working Lost World Hot Wheels set my bro got for Christmas for it) so... I know it quite well. But I don't think I could beat it completely in under 3 hours... Quote
Gario Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Anyone else interested in joining? Let's get some people to try, record the video of it if you can! Just a straight playthrough, any percent. I might join... except you could expect a runthrough of about 5+ hours, so probably no vid... I haven't run the game in years (as in, since 1995 or so), nor would it be a 102% run. I think it's be a worthy celebration of this album's release, though Yeah, here's to hoping for a release soon (within the next month or two)! Quote
AMT Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Alright, so if you want to track your time, let's do it like this: -The clock starts as soon as you select Gangplank Galleon -The clock ends as soon as K-Rool lands in the swamp if it's a straight playthrough. In a 102%, it's right when he lands in the altar. Go go go! Quote

In a 102%, it's right when he lands in the altar. Go go go! Alright, sounds good. I'll do it tomorrow (College project tonight. I know my limits. ) Quote
Bleck Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 I know from experience that I can do a 102% run in about one hour and thirty five minutes. I'll look into maybe trying to record this happening? Quote
odber Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 -The clock starts as soon as you select Gangplank Galleon-The clock ends as soon as K-Rool lands in the swamp if it's a straight playthrough. In a 102%, it's right when he lands in the altar. Go go go! Here's my humble contribution to a fast playthrough, played first time on hard. Time: 2h15m by my calculations and 2h5m by gametime. fast play, hard - 2h5m Quote
AMT Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Oh hey, I forgot it recorded your time. Ignore my start / endpoints then, let's just use that. Good job! Quote
Gario Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 Yeah, I suck... 3:27, going through as fast as I can (not 102%). Mind you, though, I haven't played it through since I was 12 so I'm a little rusty, to say the least. I'm going to try to get my time down as much as I can before the release date - here's hoping for under an hour before the album is released! Quote
atmuh Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 hey i didnt see this until now we should do regular speedrun competitions unless we already do and i just dont see them Quote
SoloGamer Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 hey i didnt see this until nowwe should do regular speedrun competitions unless we already do and i just dont see them Yeah, we haven't had a regular speedrun competition in 5 years Might be a good time to bring them back. Quote
atmuh Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 alright lets do it what game should we start with it seems like this one is just about done Quote
Ajax Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 Been a while since I played DKC2, I am considering doing a speed run. I nominate Super Metroid for any future speed runs. Quote
