Well, a lot of old arcade game is designed to be played over and over again in one run (no continue), demanding absolute perfection (Metal Slug, Ikaruga, contra etc). Its not that difference from speedrun, and I bet the game take notes from a lot of run and gun game of old time.

[@ezryder_]

@@blushingralseiuwu2222 Just what I was going to reply

[@fn326]

Ever heard of the games Hades? The developers placed timer on the game for the speedrunners. Well that game was pure RNG but speedrunners found a way to know what upgrade they're going to get next.

[@justdrop]

@@fn326 In computing, random is never truly random. Editing to clarify: everything in a computer is based off of a formula, thus even random is skewed. In the early Final Fantasy games, one needed only to find out which of the 256 bits (never 0 though) stored an enemy to transform their selection into one of their choice of fighting. Developers attempted to get around this by tying RNG triggers to events such as jumping, firing weapons, step counts and even number of fights. This is just an elaborate explanation to say that it's all calculated and that, with enough precision, can all be manipulated.

I love how as soon as they see a glitch they play cool like they saw it but weren't worried. They are taking this well vs other devs I've seen witness speed runs.

[@TheRoboticDream]

Yeah, cause they know that if you're doing this glitches you are doing them intentionally and that you've played the game enough to be at a level to pull them off. Someone on their first playthrough of any game won't do any speedrun glitches... that's what other devs need to realize. Plus patching does nothing when runners don't update the game, lol.

[@thetrashmann8140]

Valve weren't worried either they were just amazed at the glitches as they had never seen them before and even talked about when they tried to patch Half-Life 2 for the Orange Box they made sure that there were new glitches speedrunners could abuse, and joked that they'd bring all the bugs to the person who was in charge for the physics and tell him to fix them

Really love this video. Both from the react point and speedrunners pov.

I would love to see the speedrunner commentating alongside so he can explain some of the stuff he's doing

[@MW-xk6km]

There is a german KZbin show called "Speedrundale" that does it. Most of the time the runners show games they are currently practising the runs and explain the strats and set the whole thing into perspective for nonrunners. Sadly it's almost exclusively in german and with german runners which limits the viewerbase quite a bit.
