Speedrunning Plants vs Zombies with only 3 seed slots

Plants vs Zombies speedruns are already difficult, but what happens when we limit ourselves to only using 3 plants each level?

My channel generally focuses on a more casual side of speedruns. With these videos I want to show off cool speedruns, explain how they work, and entertain. Hopefully you enjoy the content and maybe even take up speedrunning yourself, because it is truly a lot of fun!

For anyone wondering why I didn’t do 2 slots, it’s cause it’s way too RNG heavy and not fun

[@notbob4542]

[@rikimaroshu]

ShyguyMask's video is a good example.

[@loganmoreau7569]

Shyguymask beat the game with just 2 seed slots and it took him an entire day of RNG resetting to beat 3-4, and couldn’t even beat it without using savestates. I don’t blame you, it’s literal hell

8:16 Why not stick to Starfruit? They excel at taking out Pogo zombies once you get a couple of them in the lane. And you still get a slot left for Squash or Doom-shroom since Starfruit can just defend the pool without lily pads.

[@shigushigu741]

Search up speedrun guides for a game you like and practice the route/methods in the video. Don't get discouraged if your time is bad with your first serious attempt since it usually takes 2-3 serious runs to get an accurate time

[@mesopiplup]

look up guides or just speedruns themselves for the game you want to speedrun and practice, like alot, i've been speedrunning hollow knight alot recently and have not submitted a run yet because i am going for top 50 >:3

[@pedroivog.s.6870]

As someone who (never) did a speedrun, I recommend training a lot and searching for hardcore strategies

[@peepeepoopoo2391]

Be fast

[@familydogguy]

Kill zombies quickly,the faster you kill them the faster the level goes

[@brandonluther5246]

Amazing vid! Just decided to get back on this the other day.. and tried my luck actually at a 3 seed slot / no death run (not a speedrun or anything) and I actually beat it! Which felt very fulfilling. Interestingly enough, you tried some other strategies that would’ve been more efficient, which I guess I didn’t think to use. As I wasn’t going for a speedrun or anything, I kinda relied on snow peas/repeaters for a bit. And threepeaters a bit in pool. Also, the cactus strat saved me quite alot but had close calls in 4-4 and 4-8, and 4-9 was really stressful with these parameters. But luckily, as rng would have it, I didn’t die through the entire run! 3 seed slots is no joke.. can’t imagine 2 :/

[@DemonXile]

2 seeds slots HAS been done before, with some *insanely required* RNG in the pool section, being I think 4-7 or 4-8.

[@darkkitty2830]

Wonderful video! Maybe try speedrunning Don't Escape? I haven't seen many people speedrun any older games like it.

Play the sunflowers in front of your attackers, sunflowers are more replaceable and because of this you should put them closer to the zombies so that if something dies you only lose 25-50 suns worth rather than 100+ suns worth as well as a defensive piece
