I don’t think it’s the fastest time someone has but is better than I can do in a single run through. Do you think something should be included in this list that isn’t? Did I miss anything or get a wrong time? Feel free to comment to help correct and amend my time stamps.

[@racelkatyusha403]

[@bryanx0317]

Are they the best faction? Yes, probably. But PvP is still generally equal. (Which was the intended balance even though it cant really be enjoyed online anymore) Dojo rush is a 1 shot tactic. If you can't pull it off, the other team will win. And you may be able to spread ore mines around but they will probably be undefended and a human would know this. Generally you won't use these same tactics if you were playing PvP.

[@transparentblue]

Not sure it's any faster but the hammer tank has an Uprising exclusive bug where using the special ability at a certain rhythm cause it to proc leech beam damage and regen very fast. I'm also surprised the bear and spy challenges weren't dojo rush as well, though I guess consistency is better than a handful of seconds less.

I absolutely love this run, but I'm confused by the reset at 23:00(ish) what woulda happened, had you stayed in? EDIT: Nvm I'm dumb. I found out, it wouldn't have hit the par time. Seriously great run though

[@thsea4021]

I fucked up. I sold MCV and engineer made enemy MCV unpack and move into a water expo so I had no way killing it after.

[@Beleidigen-ist-Pflicht]

Sometimes I wonder as to why we are yellow while doing the commander's challenge, why not white or cyan or something that'd suit a Futuretech commander in chief. Or why the very least of it, we can't change colour? P.S 2:02:10 You , good sir, are a true dare devil for selling the MCV in that fashion... a shame it went abysmal

[@JeyVGaming]

Yeah, I agreed. White or Cyan would've made more sense since we're playing as Futuretech but I'm guessing they made Yellow as default because it was also the default color in Generals ZH challenge.. *shrugs*

Hey sport, You're uttering a splendid speedrun here, concessively yet, there is faster way to complete mission #1 You can beat it in 1:15 minutes

[@HLgamer1200]

Best videogame

[@decalcomanie123]

I beat your time on Ready to Roll Out (the Pacifier level) with 5:15 which you did 7:05, by rushing VX and sending one at a time to each base.

[@tickoman273]

does the enemy send any pacifiers to bombard your base, the first pacifier that appears not included? I repeated that one a few times to get under par using VX and Tengus, because I attacked bases one by one, and the other managed to build apollos

[@cadenjaz]

In Decimator core challenge dojo core rush is possible by also making a burst drone, fly it near those Defender VX and they will switch to aerial defence, while you can just push your tank hunters in without taking damage 😃

[@akira7278]

I miss playing this game

[@tickoman273]

I'm adding to thisncomment as I watch the whole video - Dojo hardcore!! - LOL @ bike mission, derpy engineers derping around taking shit lmao - Vindicator challenge - that was handled absolutely great! - Future Tank challenge - i'm surprised you didn't use the OP ability of future tanks, almost 1-hits an MCV and is great vs those towers. But wp regardless! - High water mark - that was some good micro, such a risky strategy in such a long speedrun, need balls for that!

[@thsea4021]

Hey! Problem generally to get those op high tech units is that you need to invest lot's of time and resources to get them. So basicly that's a main reason why don't see these units in most of the maps.

[@tickoman273]

@@thsea4021 i understand, I was talking about future tanks you get from the start but nvm, I couldn't get it any faster anyway :D

[@jodirex4639]

I know im late to the party, just wanted to know what your favourite faction/nation is

[@thsea4021]

Hey, When I used to play RA3 online years ago I mostly played Soviets. So probably Soviet is still my favorite race to play.

thsea4021 Shouldve known from that picture

[@i5anin]

Очень хорошо!

[@mjc0961]

4:37 finally, my engineer for today 😁

[@Ricardo7250]

So, basically you play Empire most of the time because it has the fastest expansion (specially dojo rushes) and you play Soviets some other times either because of Stingray rush, Twinblade rush, Hammer Tanks (strongest ground) or Bears (strongest anti inf).

[@thsea4021]

That's pretty much it.

[@5onic]

amazing speed run, you could definitely beat yourself by skipping alot of the loading of animations in the challenge menu and your indecisive actions on some stages to take.

[@ruixi8364]

You should do a speed run of the challenge for each faction. Rising sun is OP for rushing the enemy tho. But haven't seen you play Allies on this run. Would love to watch next time your run for each of the faction and how long it would take you to finish the challenge. Anyways, props and good job to you!

[@thsea4021]

Yes, Allied is for most part slowest faction to beat these missions. I was planning to do a challenge around a year ago to see if I could beat all missions without building any military units (only buildings allowed). Spoiler: I have beat all the missions that way. Some reason I didn't end up doing this challenge, I though people really aren't interested stuff like that.

[@ayremember2900]

@@thsea4021 you're a RTS legend

[@bryanx0317]

Thanks for this. I simply would not know how to do these without some hints. These par times are ridiculous and ruin the intent of the game for average players. You are presented with these large elaborate maps that could have epic battles. But you are given foreknowledge that it is possible to complete in under 3 minutes. I would argue that if these were properly designed they should be impossible to beat that quickly. They would be more challenging and fun if the AI could prevent your dojo rushes.

[@---ln6qy]

Pro 1) Allies - good air strike , sabotage and best tactical special abilities . 2) Soviet - unit and construct hard to destroy and weapon damage range is most powerfull and deadly . 3) Imperial - faster for construct / train unit and wide unlimited area can construct . Con 1) Allies - weapon not to much powerfull . need strategy to use it and much costly use . 2) Soviet - very slow for construct / train unit and heavy movement . 3) Imperial - Easy to damage for unit and construct . #RedAlertLover

@@decalcomanie123 ouu... Thank you a lot

[@democracydemocracy8026]

Is there any reason you don't use the Riot Beams on the final mission? They can be use to quickly trivialize the Spectrum Towers and secure the MCV kill.

[@AbcDefg-zt8xy]

I just played Ready to Roll out mission against commander Hill, boy this took me a lot of tries. What I noticed is, after x amount of retries Hill's top base would remain inactive (just command center and nothing else), he also would be much less aggressive with his bottom base, the 2 Pacifiers in the center would be gone as well. So yep, that was my winning try obviously. What's weird that I couldn't recreate it after I've beaten the mission. I suspect there may be a half-developed mechanism in game to make select few missions easier after a lot of retries but ONLY if the mission wasn't beaten yet. My question is, would it be useful in a speedrun to quickly retry lots of times to lobotomize the AI (if that happens to be true)? Do you happen to know which file stores the challenge progression, maybe I could toy around with it trying to return it to a previous state, cause I don't want to redo all the challenges just to test that again.

[@thsea4021]

Hey, Unfortunately I don't know anything about this particular mechanic or have encountered myself or if it could be used in speedruns.

How do you determine when to reset? The player returned to the main title screen a few times during the gameplay. What is the purpose of the "reset" if there is one?
