Skyward Sword - Any% Speedrun in

This run had a solid beginning and middle portion, but the ending was sloppy. I lost 5s to each of the last two splits with some seconds scattered about due to messy movement and RNG. I'll keep attempting runs occasionally to bring it down even lower, but I'll be switching focus back to SSHD Any%.
Long live the 69-minute run.

I've never seen a more confusing speedrun in my life

[@francescoventurelli268]

I legit got no idea what the man is doing

[@iameverything6464]

@@francescoventurelli268 i think the most confusing part is the fact that he's using multiple saves and using the title screen in the speedrun... like how does that even work

[@saltykatsudon]

@@iameverything6464 time jump glitch works this way: you die, then inmediately reset while continuing, that way you can move around while in title screen and jump a lot of events to, for example, get the godess sword early.

[@YourAverageLink]

@@iameverything6464 When you play on the title screen with the Back in Time glitch (continue and reset at the same time), you can apply flags in memory from BiT onto a file by starting the file and performing the action. There's a memory addressed assigned to those actions and the game writes to that address but on the map where you're saved, leading to essentially arbitrary flag setting. You can also use statue coordinates in BiT to warp around, a regular Bitwarp is like what he did twice in Lanayru, and for Skyview temple and eldin he did a reverse BiT warp, which uses the file saved coordinates on the map you started your file into in BiT

I didn't know Link could use time-space sorcery by using his own death as a catalyst.

It's all fun and games until you realize he never got the green tunic.

[@azer67]

He did actually, he has it in Eldin. But it just turns out the route works better if the game is completed on a file without the tunic

Im doing my first playthrough rn and in the time I got the sword he already beat the game lmao. Good run!

[@Linkathon]

Same thing with me! I got the game for Christmas and it took me about an hour to get the sword because I just wanted to wander around skyloft and talk to people.

[@BlockCheddar]

I am DYING to see the full breakdown of how this works. How did you manage the "escape" portion??? I know we were super close before, a couple years ago when it was discovered you could get to that bird statue in the minigame. Did no one think of saving and quitting??? is that all it was?? Also THE UP-WARP???? So crazy. So much BiT magic. So few bosses, dungeons, items!! Did you guys even use the slingshot once??? I am SO far behind. Loving what is happening in this community lately.

[@NottSaying]

Gymnast86 has a couple of videos, but I think the problem with that last bird statue was trying to prevent the platforms from moving in the fight and be able to complete the fight after without a softlock. Also, while we knew how to clip out from the center arena, I don't think it was yet known how to clip out of the Bird Statue area yet. Once those problems were solved, it was time to execute it in a speedrun.

[@azer67]

@@NottSaying No, we knew of a way to escape the bird statue area (using a bitwarp though, not this method which was found later). We also knew how to defeat Ghirahim 3, although the strats have changed. What was a roadblock for a while was simply how to reach the bird statue in the first place. There are invisible walls all around, and there's a void plane below the G3 platform. This method of manipulating the platforms was the key to make it all work. Note that this G3 escape trick only really saves 10 minutes over the next best route. In the grand scheme of things the discoveries of Reverse BiTMagic, Faron BiT and then Early Boss Rush were more important.

How do you do the back in time

[@stumpy5760]

Only accessible on the Wii as of now, when you die, press continue and a half second after, soft reset the game by either pressing the reset button on the Wii or pressing the home menu and selecting reset

[@sunlightblade6145]

@@stumpy5760 Do you know if it's possible on the WiiU's Wii emulator? My copy is original Wii version, but I only have a WiiU (one of like the 50 ppl that still have one I suppose lmao)
