[@legoc-3po845]

Joe% has some impressive runs also, theres a lot of cutscenes that are "unskippable" in the main game (such as Stan waking up) however with spamming Joe's habilities in the first frames the game teleports the player to the end of the cutscene, thus skipping it and savong up to 1 second wich is A LOT when we talk about American Dad speedruns.

It was just discovered that the braille version of the intro actually runs at a slightly higher framerate since the xbox 360 doesnt need to render the sound at any point. Speedrunners are attempting to relearn the frames at which you can clip through multiple key points of the intro, and it's predicted that a sub 4 second run is now possible due to the overall faster game speed. The gamecube version does not have a braille version since it violates the Japanese's belief that blind people do not exist, thus creating another 8 categories based on framerates, console favoritism, and religion.

[@thehermit8618]

I heard the muslim version of the Gamecube American Dad game works just as well, if not better than the Braille version. The explanation behind this is that since its the muslim version, Stan actually moves 4.5 frames faster if he's facing in the general direction of the Meccah due to a built-in digital Qibla compass and it just so happens that the CIA building is in that direction.

However, I'm confident that this speedrunning community will still stay viable for some time. While the world records may remain unbroken for a long time, we can still organize real-time American Dad speedrunning competitions. Hopefully AGDQ will feature American Dad the coming year.

[@SydneyIsSleepy]

just watched this again after a few years of this category losing popularity, it’s heartbreaking looking back that 8:16 was fuck’s last speedrun before he disappeared from the community, and it goes to show that spectators don’t know what they’re talking about. I actually used to do runs of the xbox 360 version, and the newspaper skip not showing the text was legitimately what happened, but people don’t realise this, since it only happens on PAL versions of the game, rather than on NTSC or Japanese copies. one of my friends dug into the code, and found out the reason this only happens on the PAL release, despite PAL being released later than the other versions, is because there are a couple more textures that load in during the family hug scene, which are missing in other versions of the game. These textures remain loaded in until either the intro ends, or they are replaced by something else. This is why the newspaper doesn’t load in, though, since they occupy the same line of code as the newspaper text. Since this text has a few variants it can cycle through randomly, it means that line of code can store multiple textures in one, saving up space in the code. because of this, they add an extra line of code to check around the newspaper textures during the family hug scene to grab the correct ones. but since they’re already loaded, the game has to correct itself and change the texture in that line of code when the newspaper texture is meant to appear, however, this is only activated on the second frame the text is loaded, and since the skip happens in only one frame, the game doesn’t have the time to display it. It’s embarrassing that people didn’t check this right away and instead jumped straight to conclusions that he must’ve been splicing. it’s honestly such a shame, fuck had such a bright future ahead of him in the speedrun community, and he got pushed away too soon. maybe if the community acted rationally, he would still be speedrunning today…

[@SuperDaisygirl1]

This was just found, but if you set up a wrong warp in a different save file, once you start a new game the flag in the beginning will be replaced with the flag in the end, taking the run down to roughly 3.2 seconds. This strat is known as “Flag Warp”

[@yikes6758]

a run like this would also need to account the time taken to set up the wrong warp, which would certainly make the run longer than the 9 second WR

[@christopherkim5329]

The setup is impossible for me to get flag warp accomplished. Best of luck to people out there who can get it done

[@SuperDaisygirl1]

Christopher Kim yea, flag warp is pretty hard to get as only a couple of the button presses are not frame perfect. Just keep working on the timing and get that WR!

[@marthmain1710]

yea but this strat is used in the NG+ (new game plus) category

[@OSG_Graced]

Christopher Kim i managed to get the flag warp right and snagged a time of 5.24 seconds but this is only because the only way I could manage to hit the warp correctly 95% of the time is by not doing the floor skip. But it is possible unfortunately I haven’t managed to pull it off again as my save files got corrupted and I never recorded the run but with this information maybe we could get out a new world record. However I did not account for the time lost setting up the save so depending on how moderators of the category see it then the flag warp isn’t a strat that is worth it to attempt unless a save file glitch is found that puts you immediately into the game.

This is legit a joke American Dad would do.

[@addqdonequick]

the linguistics are actually pretty common and easy to do. speedrunning can be the form of anything, all that it focuses on is how fast you can do it, and how the community treats you and you treat them. a community focusing on a thing such as american dad brings them all together, thus showing a happy relationship across the entirety of the internet.

I recently did a speedrun of the widely forgotten mobile remake. Fun fact: when they updated the framerate it messed up the speed the game plays at and changes how acceleration works.

[@diizzya1343]

Well you can actually get the flag to be golden. It's not from doing the intro 999 times. It actually is a very rare ocurance where if when you are at the kitchen scene you press A B and Start at the same time. Then you turn your Xbox off and switch to a wired controller. When you load back in the flag will be golden. (Only works on xbox.)

[@ericbrooms]

Elated turtle’s window skip misaligns the audio, which IMO voids his run

[@natsuka8158]

the game is going too fast for the audio to catch up its a bug in the engine

[@Realstealfan]

Ahh yes the good old 20th century “Fox” engine. It’s got some pretty serious limitations, I think the misaligned audio is almost unavoidable given the limitations the engine has.

[@Teflora]

There is a mod out there that fixes this bug. Obviously it's not accepted for a real run, but it makes practicing easier since there are some audio cues that can help the runner nail down that timing

[@heiselproductions_01]

Has anyone tried to speed run the remastered version on the intro? I know the intro is scripted quite different from the original, but I’m sure that similar tactics can be used.

[@TheDoomMaster]

Most of the bugs have been patched in that version, so you can't reach speeds possible in the old version, I believe there's an entirely seperate category for the remaster because of this.

[@heiselproductions_01]

@@TheDoomMaster Well, I think it's time someone started breaking down the remastered version. I theorize that you might be able to skip the family portion when Stan descends the stairs, by using a backwards long jump.

IVE THOUGHT OF AN INSANE STRAT I unfortunately don't have the ps3 version but I have figured out that using the dive and the open button 0.596 seconds of the animation of hugging the family the table will fling you but you will the need to press the car enter button you will fly to the end of the intro of American dad and since you used your car enter button you teleport with the car.

[@Tornado9797]

I love how the floor clip is just a universally accepted constant of these runs.

[@breakingaustin]

The collision detection on the flag at the end of the run can be bypassed if Stan hits it instead of swerving, saving .91 seconds overall. I pulled it off once but not on camera.. I'm still attempting to capture it though, watch this space!

[@Aluxious45]

Nice.

[@alfredopastore561]

I'm extremely offended you would suggest American Dad speedrunning isn't real or is some kind of joke.
