How Lucky is the Resident Evil 3 Speedrun World Record

[@PyramidK]

Hello there! PyramidK here, congrats on the video Waifu it was a good review of what speedrunning re3 feels like, but I would like to clarify some things to everybody in the comments. First of all, this game is not about running and opening doors hoping to get the best possible RNG and get WR, which is something I read in the comments a couple of times. There's so many technical stuff behind this run that takes a long time to master like training to be fast when you have to input a solution or techniques like DICs strats, quickshooting, door skips, movement, menus, the ability to improvise under different situations, etc As waifu pointed out, in reality and in practice, getting RNG good enough to take WR is not uncommon, this video doesn't explain the AMOUNT of things you have to do well to take advantage of "WR" rng. My run has human mistakes, like every other run on the leatherboards so that means you could still get WR even with slighly worse rng as only in human mistakes I probably lost around 10 seconds. Also not every RNG was mentioned here, my run wasn't even close to be perfect rng run, so many things went wrong like for example getting bitten by zombie on the ground in RPD (rng), second try locker, late powders (huge timeloss), bad enemy placement in carlos, etc So for those of you thinking this game is dead or that is not worth it to run it, it's totally the opposite, I invite you all to give it a try, you'll find out really quick how the balance is 80% execution 20% rng, because eventually everybody gets RNG good enough to at least be in the top 3 with a good execution. Awesome video Waifu

So to put it in simple terms, Running Resident Evil 3 Nemesis is like holding onto a winning lotto ticket inside a tornado - Gotcha!

[@lucylover2197]

This was an interesting watch. I’m glad you made this because I think the speedrunners of this game in particular deserve a little more recognition as this run is so more cruel than the usual RE. The top runners of this, especially Pyra, just make me wanna do better myself. It’s pretty inspiring. Thanks for making this man

[@Walamonga1313]

So they deserve more recognition because the game is more rng heavy? How does that make them more worthy of merit? It doesn't increase the amount of skill needed. All it does is increase the amount of grinding needed. Does that mean they're more dedicated than other RE runners? I would say no. They're just more masochistic or have more free time, which again doesn't make it more commendable

[@lucylover2197]

@@Walamonga1313 I think I might have miswrote what I meant or maybe you took it up wrong, sorry. I didn’t mean that they deserve more props than a particular RE and screw anyone running a low RNG based run, I just meant more so in general. I never felt like this game got the same amount of viewership and attention as something like RE2R (which I run myself). And I thought that was kind of on the unfortunate side cuz this speedrun is so exciting to watch imo, cuz anything can happen. I watch other runs that have virtually no RNG like RE1 og. I’ve so much respect for the likes of Clix, Hamo, Wittchrain, Holysoul... I wasn’t really talking about the meritocracy of it, (maybe by accident I was lol), just the level of excitement. I generally don’t like to sit and debate over what’s a more skillful run or which has a higher skill cap. I thought that this game in particular was a testament to the human spirit of never giving up because of its random brutality. I didn’t mean to trigger anyone lol. Just couldn’t help saying something positive because I love watching this

[@thydungeonman26]

Legit my favorite RE speed run. Watching a runner get good rng and have flawless execution, is the pinnacle of hype.

[@lemonacidrounds7293]

The worm is the biggest problem. Its very difficult to take it out in one cycle even with good RNG. Half a second delay and you cannot launch the last grenade

If you take damage in the very first section, before entering the warehouse, it does not carry on to the rest of the game. Your health can be at danger, but once you enter the warehouse your health will be fine.

[@sdewey4152]

The more RNG there is, the more chances there are to make and lose time, the only time a game's "dead" is if there's no RNG or somebody actually achieves not only a perfect run but has perfect RNG as well. Great video, love watching people run this game and have done for nearly a decade.

[@Jabodie]

The probability presented is here is misleading. To do a proper analysis imo you'd have to calculate the time save for every possible combination of rng (compared to the worst), get a probability density function from that data, and get a cumulative density function to find out the total percentage of combinations which are equal to or worse than the WR time save. Any single combination is going to have a very low probability of occurring. What's important is how likely a combination of that quality or better may occur. You can do this pretty easily via a Monte Carlo simulation. If for some reason somebody who is interested sees this, I can probably do it if they're curious to what the numbers might be. Edit: Actually, I'll acknowledge this may have been what was done. But just looking at the raw number it comes across as unlikely, and probably would have been mentioned in the video if so.
