Today, we explore 10 AI That Ruined Speedruns. In most of the clips, speedrunners were near the end of their run, when the AI performed something absurd. This ranges from bad RNG, to a glitch within the game's code. Although AI cannot know if you are in fact speedrunning, the things they are capable of when on a said speedrun, are pretty insane.

Hi everyone, this was my first attempt at creating speedrunning-related content! Feel free to leave any suggestions of what I can do better in the future! Also, feel free to mention any games below that can be made into a future list. This list is not limited to the 10 games featured. Big thanks goes to EZScape for letting me create this video! :) EDIT: EZ and I are not the same person, lol. Also the "Scape" suffix comes from Old School Runescape when we made our KZbin accounts back in 2014, 2015.

Happens alot if said games are a remaster. Developers dont care unless a new edition of the same game is coming out on a new console Case in point, KH2 FM remaster on the ps3 had a lot bugs. It took Square Enix years until the bug are fixed, and thats only because the PS4 edition are coming out. Worst part is, they only fix the PS4 editions version and let the PS3 one riddle with bugs

Well, the vast majority of their customers won't even hit the bug, and if they do, they just shrug and reset the game. It's not a big deal since there's an easy workaround. It's more of an annoyance than a game breaker. It's easy to get caught up in the speedrunner viewpoint and forget who the customers for most of these games are.

That left the literal entire playerbase around the globe astonished. What I'm saying is that imagine just how damn unlikely is for that to happen that even seasoned veterans were impressed.

[@lich109]

From what I've heard, the AI in Forbidden Memories will actually morph cards away from Exodia, which means that the probability of him drawing all the needed pieces is much less than if it played fairly.

[@DarkkDoc]

I know nothing about the game, can the speedrunner obtain the exodia cards as well?

[@Skyblade12]

@@DarkkDoc Yes, but Exodia decks are incredibly inconsistent. You’re looking for five specific cards, and missing even one of them will ruin your entire win condition. There are other, more reliable win conditions used in speed runs (and professional matches) for this reason. Yes, you CAN get an Exodia win, but you saw the odds. Now try hitting those odds on every duel you’d need to win a game or tournament. It’s just way too inconsistent to be viable.

[@Ploeppsel]

Actually the enemys in FM have a deck pool and not a defined deck which means they won't always have exodia in the deck. Getting Exodiad is so rare that it only happend a handfull of times in the entire speedrunning history off this game. While the Chance off him having Exodia in this duel is probably higher than stated in this video. The chance off getting Exodiad might even be lower over all

They use it to their advantage against Materia Keeper through poison damage (considered self-inflicted damage). An optimal fight is casting Bio, it doing 99 damage and poisoning on the same turn. 2 or 3 poison ticks take him down to 7777 health. Next tick does 7777 damage and ends the fight.

This explains a lot.

[@SnivyTries]

A lot of the time, racing game AI loves to cheat, and it's not even always because of rubber banding. Very few games restrict the opponent's stats to the vehicle they SHOULD be driving.

[@RdTrler]

The most obvious case of rubberbanding in racing games I know is when you play the original F-Zero. Pick the vehicle with the highest top speed, literally speed-run the best route in a race, and watch the vehicle with the lowest top speed come in about 1 second behind you.

[@cruztastrophe]

For how slow Dampe trudges around the graveyard, it's hard to gauge when it'd be better to cut your losses and stop reloading. I've never speedrun the game, but the last time I played that part of the game, I didn't get the heart piece until the second to last hole (maybe the last one, it's been a while). For a speedrunner to wait and let the game go at normal walking speed, that probably makes the choice even more difficult. I've never timed it, but to do the whole circuit walking the graveyard probably takes around 7+ minutes.

You know what would be fun? Making a game that is designed to break speedruns. Game that would count how long it took you to get to each boss fight and throw more and more random delayers into the fight :D

rubberbanding can't be done well, it's always bad

[@lusteraliaszero]

@cumquatrct3 no, it doesn't work well in mario kart, it's easily the worst aspect of that game.

[@garyyoung7290]

@cumquatrct3 Item boxes don't work equally well for human and AI in Mario Kart. AI will always get exactly the item they need in addition to the regular rubberbanding that causes them to catch up for no good reason. They'll also never get hit by stray green shells or run into bananas on their own.

[@ChaosWingZero]

Cheating games piss me off. When I was young I thought racing games looked kinda fun, but disliked them, because I somehow always lost at the last minute. I later found out about rubber-banding/slow-downs, and it put me off racing games for good. Never knew Forbidden Memories cheated. Loved that game. Explains why I could never beat the six, though. Even with some really lucky draws, they still always had something better than me. lol

[@thenthson]

In gran turismo 3 in rally race it would probably made things more interesting. Don't get me wrong it is definitely rage inducing when it happens but when you lap somebody every two laps if I did manage to get passed it would taken extreme amount of rubber banding. Nobody keeps up with the pikes peak escudo in rally races. Nobody.

What is mm?

[@cedrove7513]

the difference here is that the mailman in MM isn't an AI giving a response. In the JP version of MM more or less its, 10.01 and 10.00 share the same input frame and so you can just get 10.01 instead of 10.00. Now that isn't a problem in the English version of MM. You can always get a 10 second time on English if you actually time it right.

[@deathmelon12]

Little correction on geometric series: The probability of 103 trials needed is actually a tenth of what is stated in the video. A geometric distribution with success rate p and failure rate 1-p (abbreviated as q because we're lazy) would have p = 0.1 for this dampe case and q = 0.9. The probability that k trials are needed for the first success in a geometric distribution is q^(k-1)*p. The value given in the video, about 1/50,000, is roughly the value of .9^102. In fact, this event is ten times less likely than this - out of half a million cases, only one would ever have this outcome. The explanation for why the chances are so much lower follows: We see that the probability of the first run being a success is 10%. The probability that we get one failure and the second pull is a success is the probability that the first run failed times the probability that the second run succeeded, or p*q. For the third run being the winning run, we require the first two runs to not succeed (so q^2) times the third run winning (p). For K runs, we observe that the first k-1 runs must not succeed (q^(k-1)) and the final run must work (p).

[@evil001987]

1 in 464798 is the probability to get a success at 103 attempts. But keep in mind, 1 in 464798 is the probability to get exactly 103 attempts. In the video he is saying that is the probability to need at least 103 attempts. Which is to say 103 attempts or more. We can calculate the probability of succeding prior to 103 attempts, which includes all possible outcomes prior to 103 attempts. We want to know what the probability to have this bad of a run, or worse. The probability we are looking for here is P(X >= 103), not P(X = 103) P(X >= 103) = 1 - (P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + ... + P(X = 101) + P(X = 102) ) If you do this, you get around 0.0019%*, like stated in the video. or 1 in 51644. So, the video is correct in that succeding in 103rd attempts or worse is equal to 1 in 51644. Worded differently, 1 in 51644 or 0.0019% of all attempts, you will fuck up as badly as this speedrunner did. *The exact number I got was 0.001936326%
