Never gonna happen the way it was described in the video. One of the top speedrunners of the game (GFC_) has gone on record saying nobody will ever even get 999,999 chips for a single card. I have a small amount of doubt about that, but even if someone were to do that, I'm confident it would stop there. -Plus, I think (someone correct me if this is incorrect) this video was actually wrong when it said BLS and its ritual can be obtained through the Pocketstation. To my knowledge, there is no legitimate way to obtain BLS or its ritual in Forbidden Memories.- [Edit: Actually, I was thinking of Magician of Black Chaos] All that said, if someone really did want to reach "true" 100% completion, there are ways to exploit hardware and achieve it. For example, swapping out an English game disc and Japanese game disc at the right time can cause the game to glitch and give you cards that are supposed to be unobtainable.

In the newer games, you can unlock Pokédex entries in different languages when you trade them over from games that started with another language. There are nine languages in total, meaning that a complete run has to fill the Pokédex several times over as well as obtain the shiny variants. That would be a very interesting Speedrun since a lot of different games have to be played for it.

[@GordKeen]

Does this include or exclude mythicals since most of them are impossible to get?

[@terriplays1726]

Dreage Yes I’d say that anything that cannot be obtained by normal game play, i.e. by events that only happen during certain real-life calendar dates, should be excluded. Same thing should be the case for stuff that can only be obtained as long as Nintendo keeps the servers alive.

An interesting thing about Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral town is that the developers (or maybe localisation team) seemingly never expected you to get high scores in the rock paper scissors game, despite the fact that you can abuse save and load, so if you get 70 wins you are given what looks like a disc that is literally called "Unused Item". Though to be fair trying to do that without abusing saves would probably take forever if not impossible.

Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition has a theoretical 100% run of somewhere in the 600-hour mark. This entails completing the main campaign (Legend Mode) plus all three bonus campaigns on all four difficulties, getting A rank on every square in all nine Adventure Mode maps, unlocking every character and max rank weapon, purchasing all of the badges, and getting A ranks on all of the Challenge Mode goals. Some have suggested you need to level up all characters to 255, but that would be a miserable grind.

That last part said, you'd technically only need to do the grinding for one character to reach 255, since you can buy experience for your other characters up to the highest level you've obtained. On the other hand, I get the feeling that that would take LITERAL BILLIONS of rupees, so you'd need to grind an ungodly amount regardless...

Every time you harvest all the seeds from the farm mini-game you get 10 sugar lumps iirc, plus there's a plant which can grow ( but cannot be planted) which also yeilds a sugar lump when mature, so you can get 365 sugar lumps much faster than 300 days.

The actual theoretical longest """"speedrun"""" would be a complete 100% LittleBigPlanet 2 non secret pin speedrun Now you wouldn't really think that this could be any harder than the ones in this video, but believe me. One of the pins requires measures how many unique players have played your levels. It has 5 steps, the first one being 100, then 250, then 5000, then 50 000, and lastly 500 000. This means you have get in total at least 500 000 different people to play your levels. Only a few people ever actually obtained this legit, and it was after making alot of really highly rated levels for several years. The developers probably never intended someone to actually *try* to get it, but they did set the limit at specifically 500 000. This is probably the biggest RNG thing ever to exist. Who knows if people will play your levels or not, and 500 000 certainly won't unless you are really good at it. It could take years to even try to get close, and you still have to do all the other pins Noone ever try this

[@0ZeldaFreak]

Overall achievements that require people that do something online is hard. For example Sing Star has some trophies that do this. Also good luck beating the other trophies on your own. In theory they can be done fast, when you have others that help you. Finding half a million people that have the game and are willing to help you is hard but not impossible, except when the servers get shut down. Back with my PS3 I tried doing 100% at games but I stopped doing this. At least some games where nice and they didn't blocked the platin trophy when it had locked content. For example resident evil 5 didn't had the versus mode in germany. The gold version had this mode but came out later. I have my platin trophy and back then, I did 100% with dlcs except versus. Later I bought the gold version, because PS move would work with that. After an hour I putted it away.

I'm totally stealing this but someone else mentioned an even more difficult thing, a no man's sky 100% run. you have to scan all mineral, animal and plant species on all 18 *quintillion* (1 with 18 zeros) planets. even if you could somehow scan everything on a planet in one second, it would still take 570 *billion* years. just a reminder that the sun will expand to be large enough to burn everything on earth in like 5 billion years... this run is physically impossible, even for an immortal being. And what if we take a more reasonable time, lets say one hour (idk i've never played nms), that would take *two quadrillion* years, just a reminder that at the age of around one quadrillion years the universe will enter the "degenerate era" wich is when new stars stop getting created, also around the time the sun becomes a black dwarf.

To add to the conversation, a true 100% run of Disgaea 5 Complete would be insanely long. You'd have to beat the game, complete every achievement, get all 44 classes in the game to max rank (this isn't including the dlc characters included in D5 Complete), max out all weapon proficiencies on those characters, max out the level of every skill, find 3 of EVERY weapon and item(one for each rarity) of which there are hundreds and finding them at all is highly luck reliant, max out the levels of every one of those items, max out the levels of all squads and a lot more stuff that I can't even think of at the moment. To give you an idea for how long this would take, let's look at just one part of it. Maxing out the items' levels will be like this: Level up the item to level 500 by going through at most 500 levels in the item world for that item. This part can be optimized by taking the Item Enhance route. Then after that, you have to pass an extremely expensive Item Bill to increase its max level by 500 levels. This bill is not guaranteed to pass so rng is a factor. If it is passed, level the item up 500 more levels. Keep passing the bill and leveling the item until the item is level 9999. Once you have done that, you have completed less than 0.1% of just this one part of the run. Congrats! Now do it for all the other items.

[@korhol2065]

If you were to do this all in one sitting, you would probably be done in about a few years assuming exhaustion, malnutrition, and blood clots don’t get you first

[@PixelatedFear]

@@korhol2065 It has come to my attention that there is also a FOURTH rarity; Epic, which must be earned by leveling the item's rarity to 100. Considering that items' rarity levels will increase as they level up, I think you should only have to collect the three rarities and then level one of them up to epic. This would be the item to reach 9999 as doing it for all the others would be pointless as they would increase in rarity in doing so anyway. So now the part looks like: Collect the three rarities -> level the highest rarity up to epic and lvl 9999. It's shorter, no doubt, but it still takes an ungodly amount of time to do for just one item.

Heres a good one: Munchlax% in Diamond and Pearl. Catching a Munchlax is only possible on 4 of 21 honey trees, only 2 of which you can determine without hacking. So lets assume that you start out with a trainer ID that makes it available at the earliest possible time, in the Floaroma Meadows. In this case, a top tier Runner like Werster needs a good half hour to get there by any% rules. However, heres the nasty part. Munchlax only has a 1% chance of spawning in the trees that it does spawn in, so on average, youll need 100 honey splatherings to get 1 Munchlax. Which is a problem, because not only will you need to somehow make 100000 in money to buy that much, which is a sum that you probably dont have access to this early in the game, but also, the honey tree takes 16 hours until something spawns. And this isnt skippable. The game sets this timer internally. Mess around with the clock all you want, it wont help. So yeah, on average, youll be waiting 1600 hours at perfect execution, which is some 66 days of playtime.

@Or321 I tried to beat your run but got a week or so behind. Tip for anyone else running that: It’s not like any other speed run; you don’t just rush through everything as fast as possible, which is what I did. Also, the run is very RNG dependent, sometimes I get a new zone that has like a 0.1% chance and if you are unlucky you can waste a day or two not getting anything. One possible strategy for dealing with that is to open multiple instances and have some people you know play on the other instances, and at the end of the day compare high one has better things and use that for the next day. Also find someone with a completely different schedule to play when you are busy or sleeping, ideally you want someone on the computer at all times. I think the theoretical fastest time could be more like 30 or even 20 days with all optimizations.

19:12 I remember playing gran turismo 4 (which is probably on my top 3 most favourite games list ) when I was younger on my PS2 and only being able to complete 25% of the game on my best save file.

The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ has a 3,000,000% achievement for getting 100% on all three game files, and each one of those takes a month because you have to attempt daily challenges for a month. So, it's a three-month "speedrun"

[@blackprocks3040]

I’ve never played the game, but could you theoretically do the daily challenges on all 3 files every day?

[@tacobellsecurity6318]

@Blackprocks Yes, but theoretically I think it would just be easier to do them individually. (if you have the patience.)

[@Daskies]

@@blackprocks3040 yes, and you don't have to win so you can do it in like 5 minutes a day (for all 3 savefiles). If you want to complete the run each day it's probably an average of 35 minutes depending on skill. I really don't think this one is that bad, but it wouldn't be fun and the minimum would be 30 days. You can also just copy a savefile from one slot to another (in game), so debatably you only need to do it once.

[@wompastompa3692]

In Super Metroid, you can get over 100% on the counter at the end of the game by using spacetime beam. You could then make up some stupid arbitrary category like 100,000% or whatever, depending on how many missiles/super missiles/power bombs/energy tanks/reserve tanks the game can handle (probably 65,535 of each). One thing to note is that the counter doesn't account for some duplicates. These are the rules I think it follows based on my spacetime file: >It checks your inventory at the end, does a bit of math, and calculates percent based on that. >>For example, if you can hold 500 super missiles, super missiles will contribute (500 supers ÷ 5 supers per pack) ÷ 1 pack per percent or 100% towards the item tracker. >Suit upgrades are only counted once, so collecting things like grapple beam or high jump or varia suit multiple times is a waste of time. One other thing to note is that if you ever save and reset the console, the file will load the intro the next time it is loaded. If this happens, your missile capacity is set to 5 for the intro cutscene then set to 0 when you get to Ceres, effectively erasing all of the progress you made by collecting missile packs.

If you started playing Melee on the day its released in Japan (Nov 21, 2001) and played 100 vs. matches every day, you're currently on day 6839 (the day after this video's release date) which at this you'll finish on Dec 28, 2028. But if you played 200 vs. matches instead, you finished on Jul 28, 2015. But if you played 300 vs. matches, you finished on Jan 6, 2011. But if you played 400 vs. matches, you finished on Sep 4, 2008. If you wanted to play 1,000,000 vs. matches before the Japanese release of Brawl (Jan 31, 2008), you would've played at least 445 vs. matches every day and finished on Jan 16, 2008. But if you played 500 vs. matches, you finished on May 13, 2007. But if you played 1000 vs. matches, you finished on Aug 17, 2004.

I wonder how many people just casually played that many hours and just stumbled upon that achievement.

[@jamesworsham2192]

I feel like the fact that the achievement is in the Melee indicates some level of awareness from Nintendo of the competitive viability of the game. I mean, no one would play that many matches without a mindset of being as good as possible at the game. But apparently the achievement exists in Brawl too, the anti-competitive title.

These aren't speedruns at this point, these are marathonruns

[@Zyruvias]

Regarding Anti-Idle: The Game: 630 achievements, ascension system caps out at around 4800 depending on the ascension difficulty distribution. 3000 bestiary level cap, which is 100k kills each, up to 1m kills each if going for a Golden 3000 bestiary completion. The former is easy, latter is a bit harder. Along with taming allies, you need to kill multiple tiers of boss variants, which literally no one has done, with many players having literal years of play time. Completing literally everything possible would be 10k hours or longer, assuming you're actually dedicated and not just playing casually. No one has really speed-run this because it's ridiculous and arbitrary, but if your initial speedrun criteria would be actually estimated, it would be much less than 2100 hours with current patch resource grinding. There are multiple various speedrun categories within the game that people actually play, which can vary from a handful of minutes, to multiple hours and maybe days for less serious attempts. The game isn't even listed on speedrun dot com. It sounds like your source didn't work with actual late-game players that know the game well.

[@TiKevin83]

Hey Reverse, I discussed the category for a while with Mnchngrngs in the Anti-Idle discord. The estimate could be way off due to it being largely hypothetical, but the video does mention adding 3k bestiary and that being closer to 10k hours.

[@Zyruvias]

@@TiKevin83 Thanks for the response, I did just want to add some clarifying notes for those interested. I realize now my comment came off way snarkier than I meant to, so my apologies on that. Either way, thanks for taking the time to pass the info along, it's pretty cool to see the game actually being mentioned in 2020.

The sad thing about that category is that some players can optimize the route and shorten it to 12 years or so. But that’s just the any% in my opinion. Don’t worry, if you go for 100%, completing a run under 18 years would be very difficult. 😉 don’t worry man, you’ll find the one!

Getting every achievement and every item in WoW would be uh... Challenging.

[@Jack_Rakan]

Well for one, it's impossible to do that in the current official version of the game, so you'd have to set-up a private server starting with Vanilla, and constantly upgrade it once the previous tier of content was completed. Or at least upgrade to the furthest along patch that doesn't remove previous content in any way (so no upgrading to Wrath of the Lich King before clearing everything TBC, because WotLK removes questlines/items needed for the original attunements for Onyxia/Naxx. Then no upgrading to Cataclysm until WotLK is 100% completed because of the revamp, etc. I think it may be possible to start directly with TBC while still keeping everything from Vanilla, including time-gated content like opening the doors to AQ, but not completely sure). In the end though, it would still technically take less than 15 years to obtain every item that has ever existed in WoW, and you would need a group of at least 25 people to complete the most challenging content.

Since I know this game quite well, I assume a Team Fortress 2 All Achievements Run would take hundreds of hours. First because of the MvM achievements (Silicon Slaughter, Metal Massacre), then with others that require playing a class ludicrous amounts of time (Best Little Slaughterhouse in Texas) even if you coordinate with friends or with idle servers. And those wouldn't help when it comes to the achivements linked to playing more than 130 rounds on certain maps. Ofc this would exclude the now-unobtainable achievements like the KZbin ones, but even then, a run like this one would be pretty ridiculous. Good video otherwise, impressive times listed there!

Minor correction: a bestiary level of 2000 in Anti-Idle corresponds to an average of 4 levels per enemy, which corresponds to only 1,000 of every enemy, not 10,000 (although you're definitely going to end up with more than 4 levels on some and less on others)

This video was too long. Halfway through it, I got hungry so I left it playing and went to the kitchen to fix myself a sandwich. But then I found out that I'm out of mayonnaise so I went to a store. There, I saw the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my whole life. But I'm a really shy person so I took up a three-year personality development course so I could introduce myself. She was very friendly and all, but unfortunately, she had a boyfriend. So I said, all good, I'm a mature person. I wanted the best for her and I harbored no illusion that I am the best person for her and she seemed happy with her boyfriend, so I didn't bother her anymore. But we kept in touch and we became friends and I got over my crush on her. Then she broke up with her boyfriend, we drank some alcohol because of it. I told her she'll be fine and I wished her well. I still think she's the most beautiful woman in the world, but like I said, I am over my crush on her. It was like five years already since I first saw her. Besides, I am quite happy with the friendship I developed with her. It was more important than a crush. So we kept hanging out, drinking, having coffee, and all. I had a girlfriend, she started dating other guys. My girlfriend wanted to live some other life without me in it, so I said, "Okay, I want the best for you and I want you to pursue your happiness." My lady friend and I drank alcohol about it, and she gave me the same advice I gave her when she was in that position and I became okay with the breakup immediately. But we were really drunk, so she spent the night in my apartment. I only have one bed, so you know what that means: She took the bed and I slept on the couch. But on the couch, I really can't sleep. Something was bothering me. So I tossed and turned for about three hours, then I finally couldn''t take it anymore, I stood up and went straight to my room where she's sleeping. I approached the bed, gently sat on it and I reached for her shoulder to pull her closer to me. She stirred and woke up. She asked what's up. I told her, "you know, the first time I saw you, I was watching a video and left it playing to get myself a sandwich then went to the store to get some mayo then I got so distracted by life that I forgot to finish the video." She said, "You know what, I've been wondering about a weird noise in your night drawer." So we opened that drawer, and lo and behold, there's my phone and this video still has two minutes of play time on it.
