AGDQ 2017: SotN Richter Mode All Bosses (by MechaRichter)

[@MarkNarukami]

If you're coming to this video to watch a speedrun of SOTN, and you are new to speed running, here is a short explanation of the hobby you may have for those who are curious; - it's a speed run where you run through the game as fast as you can, either through manipulation of the games engine, or through actual means that allow faster movement in the game. - yes we get it, it's a different way of playing, we understand this is your first time looking up speedruns, look at other speed runs and don't cherry pick dumb reasons to not like a games speedrun, aka "why is he just gliding through the area that's not a fun way to play the game" - yes people do call it SOTN - a lot of speed runners don't talk much for concentration reasons, get used to it - the point isn't to get WR, the point is to get it done by a certain time for charity, if WR is achieved, most just accept it and move on do not expect anything grand most of the time - just because you think it's not fun or entertaining to you doesn't mean it's the same for others, not everyone likes sports, not everyone likes speed runs - there are multiple speed runs events all year round most are on twitch, find a couple runners who you like and stick to them, chances are they are your best go-to runners for game recs you may not have thought of Have fun and enjoy some speed runs

[@JohnDoe-oy1xd]

Ok thanks but what's a speedrun?

[@MarkNarukami]

@@JohnDoe-oy1xd read my first point again but if you still don't understand ; Speed running a game means well you are going through the game as fast as possible, whether that's through means of manipulating the games engine or through cheats, or overall just playing the game as fast as possible.

[@dotwarner17]

Richter decided to hit the gym between games.

[@LB030377]

Wait, you mean you don`t fight Dracula as the final boss in Richter mode?

[@evilnick2885]

were all those high double jumps and dash flying actually part of the game or a type of glitching that was never intended?

[@xyl6814]

They are all parts of Richter's designed moveset. Glitches are more often used in speedruns with Alucard. Richter is broken enough, though a lot of practice would be needed to play like this.

[@BaconSenpai]

It's way harder than it looks. The air slash for example you need to push up, down, down forward, forward punch every time. Theres a reason he's using a glove on the finger thats on the stick.

[@roetemeteor]

[@bilboswaggins9921]

It seems, to me at least, that without cheats and buffers he can't actually play the game very well. The areas that he says are tough, tricky, or scary aren't that much of a bother to me when I play the vanilla, original game. His playing here is okay, I guess, but he just seems to rely really heavily on the buffers that come with playing as Richter.

[@LordThanathos]

Please record your speedrun and upload it to KZbin then.

[@whydohandlesexistAAA]

Ervin Arnold This kind of logic is simply invalid. You don't need to be a cook to be able to criticize the culinary abilities of a person and the same thing applies to speedrunning.

[@Metallicity]

The point isn't that the room is hard to get through, it's that it's hard to get through in the fastest manner possible, especially when you're skipping health-ups and save rooms to keep your time down and thus can't afford to take many hits. It's like telling someone that parkour isn't that hard because you walk around that part of town all the time.

[@Nipperbibbo]

But he wasn't cheating. Input buffering is part of the game. Try to chain air slashes and Richter dashes like he does in this run. Then come back to us.

What a boring way to play the game. Just some repetitive movement junk.

[@MarkNarukami]

SpeedRUNNING Speedruns mostly if not always consist of movement and repetition, it's about getting through a game as quick as possible. If you find that boring then you should probably look up a full playthrough.
