@@AKDHFR no, I didn't use Python in this run. I didn't use any programs or anything, just the normal, unmodified game itself. I /DID/ use a Python script to create the ROUTE/STRATEGIES for the speedrun. There's a Python script that basically simulates thousands of duels per second and tells me in a big spreadsheet exactly what card I'll win on each frame. When creating the route for this speedrun, I ran that simulation and figured out which frames have Meteor B. Dragon as a drop. Then I figured out how to hit that frame during speedruns, then I practiced it a lot, and then I performed it during the speedrun.

He waited for a specific set of frames to start the game on. This is called RNG Manipulation. Basically, the game's "randomness" is the same every time. If you do the exact same thing every time, you'll get the same results. People found that starting on that specific period of frames gives you the best starting deck. There's videos out there that go into more detail, but this is the gist of it.

Do you have videos where you explain RNG Manip on this game? I finished legit more or less 20-30 times even owning every card but I really want to try a speedrun like that, avoiding to grind 500+ duels against Meadow Mage/Pegasus to get the stacked deck.

[@GFC_FM]

Sure do, look up rng manipulation and you'll see a long video I have giving a tutorial

[@cr103]

1:02:05 whats with the weird twin headed thunder dragon?, the pictures inverted or something and the card says skull knight?

[@cr103]

59:45 and how come it fades out here during an attack?

[@GFC_FM]

1.) That's a common graphical glitch that happens when you play Forbidden Memories on console, specifically common when you play it on a PlayStation 2 with the setting "fast disc speed" turned on. That's how I play (mainly because fast disc speed makes the game load faster). Basically, what happens is that the game can't keep up with loading the new card art, so it glitches out and accidentally shows the last card art that was loaded (in this case, the card art for Skull Knight). If the card that was played before my twin headed was a Blue Eyes White Dragon instead of a Skull Knight, then it would've glitched to look like that instead. Sometimes it just flat out loads the previous card art entirely, and sometimes it tries to load the twin headed card art AND the skull knight card art at the same time, resulting in a weird glitchy combination mess, which is what we saw in this case. 2.) Are you asking why the opponent put a card in attack mode but didn't attack? That would be because it knew it couldn't beat my monster. It didn't go into defense mode because it has a base attack of 3000 or more. ANY card that the AI plays with an attack of 3000 or more will always stay in attack mode. Keep in mind I'm saying BASE attack of 3000, so equips and field advantages do not count. For example, if a Metalzoa is played by the AI, they will ALWAYS keep it in attack mode, regardless of the field, because the base attack is 3000+. Hope that answers your questions!

[@GFC_FM]

Oh, I want to add something on to my answer for #1 here: I want to add that it's just a GRAPHICAL glitch. The actual graphic/art of the card is what's glitching out here, nothing actually changes. The attack, the defense, the type: everything is still the exact same when this glitch happens, the only thing that is actually changing is the appearance of the card. So this random glitch can't actually help or hurt you in a duel, it just looks cool sometimes. I also wanna note that how often this graphical glitch happens also seems to depend on how scratched up your disc is and things like that. But everyone who plays on a PS2 with fast disc speed gets it pretty often regardless. People have had it happen on emulator I believe, but it's FAR less common. I'm not sure about playing on a PS1 but I'd imagine it happens there too, maybe less commonly because PS1 doesn't have fast disc speed but idk.

@@cr103 OH. My bad LMFAO. That was actually a 3D duel that I instantly canceled out of. You know how if you press Square when attacking, it will show the monsters in 3D model form attacking each other? I did that, but as soon as the 3D battle started, I immediately canceled out of it. This was for RNG manipulation purposes. 3D duels change the outcome of the duel, basically. And canceling out of the 3D duel at different times affects the duel differently. It just so happens that, for that particular manipulation, I had to initiate the 3D duel and then cancel it immediately. There's a more complicated answer as to why this was needed for the RNG manipulation, but I'll leave it at that. If you're interested in the more complicated answer, read the next comment I'll leave in a minute or two.

If you are using manipulation you are using an outside source so wouldn't it be an any%? if my terminology is correct. either way bravo man great run!

[@deadplock]

Using manip strats does not mean It has to be an outside source... there are games you can do rng manip strats with changing certain ingame values. And you change certain ingame values for example by pressing certain buttons at a specific frame on a specific pixel.

[@clickbaitpolice9792]

i dont understand. 1) why did you reset the game when you saved at 4:42? 2) your starting deck is incredible. you can make thtd whereas i had to grind hard for those dragons and thunders 3) you estimated beating Heishin and getting 3x MBD in like 10 mins. how the hell did you know?

[@GFC_FM]

1.) This was to reset the frame count of the game back to 0. This speedrun uses RNG manipulation. Basically, this game runs at 60 frames per second. This means, once you turn on the console, the game starts keeping track of a number. That number starts at 0 and goes up by 60 every second. For example, 2 seconds after you turn on the console, the frame count is at 120. One second later, it's at 180, and so on. Forbidden Memories uses this number to determine what card you win at the end of the duel. For example, if you start a duel on frame 1000, you might win Meteor B. Dragon. Now, if you reset the console, that puts the frame counter back to 0. Now, if you start a duel on frame 1000 AGAIN, you'll win Meteor B. Dragon AGAIN. You're basically getting the exact same duel over and over again. And we reset the console so we can hit the same frame number over and over again. It's basically just starting a duel at the right time to get the outcome we want. It isn't a glitch either. This is exactly how the game is intended to work. Normally, if you play the game without knowing about this (which most people do), using this system makes the game APPEAR random. It makes the card you win APPEAR random. But it isn't TRULY random, and you can take advantage of that. But it's INCREDIBLY difficult. Remember, the game runs at 60 frames per second. That means if MBD drops on frame 1000, for example, that you WON'T win MBD on frame 999 or 1001. That means if you're 1/60th of a second early or late, you won't win MBD. So, it takes a TON of practice to be able to hit it consistently like I did in this speedrun. And even with all of that practice, I still fail it more often than not. This was my best run ever, but it doesn't show you the hundreds of hours of failed attempts and practice it took to get to this point. It's not easy. 2.) The starting deck is also obtained using RNG manipulation. It's the same thing as the card drops, except it's determined by the frame you start a new game on. So, if you start a new game on frame 1000, you'll get the same starting deck every single time. Once we knew that, we looked through thousands and thousands of starting decks on every frame. The deck you see here is the best starting deck we found that didn't require waiting very long for the frame count to get very high. It's on frame 711. So, if you turned on Forbidden Memories right now, and you started a new game on frame 711, you would get the EXACT SAME starting deck I did here. Maybe you'll start the game on frame 711 by accident. Or, you can AIM for it, like I do in this speedrun. 3.) RNG manipulation, see number 1 in this post. I made a video describing exactly how all of this works. Check my channel for a video called "Win any card you want". It isn't a glitch, it isn't a hack, it isn't a cheat. This was how the developers coded the game INTENTIONALLY. It's just that the common player typically won't notice this, and it will just appear random to them. But it isn't random. And I use that to my advantage in this speedrun. Is it hard? Yes. Is it harder than playing the game normally? Yes, much harder, because when playing the game normally, your timing doesn't matter, but in this speedrun, if I'm 1/60th of a second off with my timing, the run is over. And trust me, it took hundreds and hundreds of hours to get this speedrun. And hundreds of hours more researching the game and how all of this works. It isn't easy. But, I did it, and I'm super happy to show this run off, as it shows a complete mastery of the game and how it works, inside and out. Hope that helps!

I'm resetting the game in these cases so that the frame count goes back to 0. Basically, for the rng manipulation I'm doing, I need to start some duels on the correct frame. However, the frame count starts going up the moment I turn on the console. So let's say I want to hit frame 700 against Heishin 1 in free duel to win MBD. Well, first I have to sit through all of the cutscenes right before the world tournament. That makes the frame count go way beyond 700. So, once I can save, I save, then I reset the console. This brings the frame count back down to 0, and now I can aim for frame 700 again. And, if I fail the manipulation and want to try again, since frame 700 has already passed, I have to reset the console to get it back to 0 and then try for frame 700 again. So, in short, I'm resetting the console to reset the frame count back to 0.

@@GFC_FM holy shit, thats a lot of complications for this game. loved this as a kid, never knew any of this stuff existed with manipulating etc.

[@italocampoli8643]

Thanks for this, not only for your skillset but i mean this game was a nightmare to play as a child. Realizing i could judt get 3 MBD and just force it is amazing lol

[@calvinsimpson1301]

Yeah it took me finally getting one from low meadow mage after like 75-100 duels. Then do the duplication trick with 3 memory cards, then grind out megamorph from Pegasus

[@italocampoli8643]

@@calvinsimpson1301 im playing on epsxe but i guess its the same, im at 59 on meadow, most of them s rank and he just drops shit cards, i even take care of not failing any attack or any phase, getting at least one twin head at start, is hard with some okaish deck i made grinding Jono and May, both dropped me a lot off dragons and thunders.

Hack

[@cesarpacode6272]

Hacked game 🙄 Boring video

[@Boreganic]

@@cesarpacode6272 It's not a hack its learning how to trick the game. You see him counting and doing certain things which will make them drop it. Hacking would be him just loading it into his deck in which he would've just had a whole deck of them. Learn how the game works.

[@thebigbadwolf946]

@@cesarpacode6272 RNG (Random Numeric Generators) It's like a patron that controls the game: the reward card , the cards of the rival, your cards etc. This speedrunner manipulates the RNG by time and reseting the game thats how gets some rare dragons... Same happens with pokemon games if you want a shiny pokemon you can control the RNG to obtain it 😁😁😁👍 i hope you can understand

Oh, you've done it again! Mate, you're insane!

[@blackwings_tv7125]

How to get good cards? I remember starting with trash deck and the good ones were hella expensive.

[@TheVnator]

You want to start with a card like Raigeki and possibly some dragons/thunders. If you don't have the latter, re-fight the early people until you get some. At that point, go to the future and get all the way to/past Isis, who you can re-fight for better magic cards and twin headed thunder dragon ingredients. At that point, beat Kaiba and go back to the past and get up to/beat the low meadow mage. Keep fighting them until you get meteor black dragon(s) and you should be mostly good to get through the game, given you have enough magic cards from Isis like dragon treasure and megamorph. Of course, this is without a seeded run.

[@AntoniusTertius]

Just follow my method. All cards are obtainable, no mods nor cheats, nor codes.

This run likely won't get accepted by a GDQ it was accepted for an event called MAGfast

How are you predicting what cards? Is there a specific build thats happened?

Damn this is fucking amazing. Congratz Edit: i used to have so bad luck that Pegasus always used MBD, and Isis used BSD. Not even talking about the final 6. Either Heishin2nd and Seto 3rd always always had BEUD.

[@davidh3965]

Man awesome speedrun, but how is it possible to get 3 mbd so fast?? Is this vanilla game??

[@wasedas]

how do you count your frame, to obtain the good starting deck and the MBD ?

[@scottvermiliion927]

Pretty badass! I've never done a speed run but I love replaying this game every year or 2 grinding for cards always has me watching new let's plays and speed runs.

[@mykalponder9208]

I was driving while listening, how did you start with MBD? 😅

[@jasonl1331]

I drew all 5 parts of exodia on my first turn in every battle, forgot to press the record button. Well done though 👍

[@DreammasterFTW]

I still don't know what the hell you're doing to manipulate card retrieval. But I'm still impressed by it

[@luccabona7665]

is it a "rule" that heinshin will drrop the mbd if u do like u did? cuz ive face him many times and i nevver got to receive one from him

[@kr4s3rbr2]

Congrats for the run, you are the best!

[@MetaX1994]

how the hell did henshin drop 3 meteor b dragon IN A ROW? how is that possible? is that a glitch? meteor B dragon drop rate is like 1% dude... how did you do that?

[@GFC_FM]

it's actually much MUCH less than 1% drop rate of MBD against Heishin is a 4/2048 which comes out to about a juicy 0.195% chance! the reason I won 3 of them is because of a trick called RNG Manipulation. It isn't a glitch or hack or anything unintended really, it's all timing and reproducing the same duel over and over again. basically, rng manipulation works by starting a duel on the exact same frame, with the exact same deck, every time. 60 frames are going by per second but if you manage to start a duel at the exact same time with the exact same deck, you'll get the exact same drop every time. basically, lots of research was done to find out what cards will drop on each frame since the game has been turned on (which is why I reset the console, in order to reset the frame count back to 0). once people discovered "hey you win mbd against Heishin on this frame with this deck", all we had to do was hit that frame 3 times in a row and boom, 3 MBDs. It's technically a lot more complicated than that but that's generally how it works.

@@GFC_FM omfg dude that´s some hillarious shit right there! congrats on the speedrun by the way, it was incredibly fast, and thank you so much for taking the time to explain to me the method! i play this game since i was a kid and i could not imagine something like this actually exist! greetings from argentina, sorry my bad spelling :)

[@rerickf]

I'm not really understanding how this manipulation works. He mentions that he changed some of the mages. What does that mean? Also was he able to get MBD so quickly?

[@LiamMaia]

everything on the game that's rng is frame based. rng manip consists in reseting the game to do certain actions in determinate frames or frame gaps. some of the things that rng manip can do is to pick a specific drop or a specific type of deck an enemy would use (easy mode/hard mode)

[@clementefu3306]

Can someone explain what is he doing? I mean the tricks, or somewhere I can read about it.
