[@blushingralseiuwu2222]

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.

[@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.
