Top 10 Unluckiest Moments in Speedrunning

[@twistedwill7533]

I love how the Pokémon speed runners freak out and the gta speed runner is chill

[@Rurexxx]

Exactly. Over 6 hours into the run, gets killed by a random plane, stays chill. Gotta love Josh.

[@jacobyogod9371]

Twisted Will Well, you must be very new to Pokemon my friend. You see the Squirtle he was "perfect" with the best stats. Wasting time on a caterpie for one minute is like hell for Pokemon speedrunnera.

[@twistedwill7533]

JacobYoGod GamingRocks no I've played a lot of pokemon( all of them gen 5 and below) I was just commenting on how the speed runners of pokemon, a game with a comparatively happy setting, has the more upset speed runners than gta. His rage is completely justified, and also hilarious.

[@Piplup-js5uu]

Twisted Will Pokemon have IVs EVs and natures which determine their stats. Assuming every possible IV combination has a equal chance (1/31) that is a 1/186 of getting perfect ivs then the nature which is 1/26 / 1/13 (Mild or rash would work in this speed-run but speedrunners probably calced to best nature so we're going with 1/26) I was taught that to multiply percentages you multiply both first numbers and both last number (So in this case 1X1 and 186/26) which would give us a 1/4836 chance of a perfect starter pokemon (This is of course with the assumption every IV and nature is as likely as all the others). (Evs are drafted by the speedrunners and are usually not a problem) (I have some other comments which are 1/152 instead of 186 my bad 31X 6 is 186 but those 152 calcs are still insane)

[@ragesosrs2293]

That's actually not how probabilities work. 6 Stats. Each has 31 possible Values. You have a 1/31 of getting a single perfect IV assuming a uniform distribution. The change of getting 2 IV's perfect, assuming they're independent, is 1/31 * 1/31 or, 1/961. Thus, a perfect 6 IV's, not even accounting for a good nature, is (1/31)^6, insanely small. Furthermore, the perfect nature multiplied on top of this is getting you right up there with winning a small lottery. (add in shiny and it will get even more nuts) I think your confusion came in that you took 1/31 * 1/6. That would be the change of a single 1/31 event, followed by a single 1/6 event. We want 6 unique, 1/31 events. And the 1/13 or 1/26 also on top of that.

still have a chance to encounter a level 7 kakuna or metapod, or a level 9 pidgeotto that can kill your run. lvl 9 pidgeotto = the worst possible RNG you can get as the speed stat for it out paces your pokemon, which results in a 10% chance escape rate if your starter is either squirtle or bulbasaur.

You gotta realise these runs can be hours of multiple hurdles. No one really plays a run and completes it first try, Even the small 10-20 minutes runs you see, the people doing them have most likely been doing it over and over for multiple hours.

Honestly, as bad as swatting is, in the U.S., at least, swatting's days are numbered. Seriously, U.S. officials are now charging a man in the U.K. for a swatting attempt which resulted in the intended target being shot in the face and chest with rubber bullets, and it looks like he's about to be sentenced to 20 years in prison for the crime, possibly complete with extradition to the U.S. I stand FULLY behind this. Only if people face a sentence equal to that of attempted murder -- which, let's face it, swatting IS an attempt at murder -- will the practice stop. The asshole won't be able to watch Twitch streams again until 2037, if Twitch is even still a thing by then. HA HA HA HA HA HA

Well, that's only 10 min into the game and at that point I think it is better to try to save the time spent on attacking and try to get it with the first ball. The weird thing is that the runner gets so mad. He only lost the run at 10 minutes. Caterpie at that health has maybe a 1/2 chance to be caught, so chance of missing it 4 times is around 1/16.

i just want to put the math out there because some of these comments are really absurd in regards to the caterpie clip based on catch rate formula and the fact that caterpie's catch rate is 255, we get the following (this is based on approximations using the fact that a level 3 caterpie would have about 16 health and assuming that in the video is it at exactly 75%). The catch rate formula (at least, the relevant variables in the situation) involves the following: ((3 * Max HP - 2 * Current HP) * Catch Rate)/ (3 * Max HP). So we get the following: ((48-24)* 255 * 1)/48, which gives us 127.5. Following that, the probability to capture a pokemon is calculated by the previous formula divided by 255, which results in the equation 127.5/255 = 0.5, or a 50% chance of capturing. Keep in mind this is me probably overestimating the HP% here; I'm pretty sure that caterpie is lower than 75% in the clip which raises that chance to about 57% if i'm even 1 HP off (also if I miscalculated the total HP count the % shouldn't be too off either because ((3 * Max HP - 2 * Current HP))/ (3 * Max HP) is a formula that will always be relative to the max HP of the pokemon) In a speedrun, you do not want to waste more time than what is necessary, and a 50% chance isn't too large of a gamble to use even two pokeballs on, so using that extra turn to attack would have resulted in even more timeloss. the chances of having all five pokeballs fail in a row is a 1/32 (or 3.1%) chance, which is very much attainable, but very frustrating to have to deal with.

[@fishtard9347]

According to the clip though you nééd to exit the fight with at least 1 ball left, so you need 4 balls to fail in a row. That's 1/16 (6.2% roughly? if i double yours?)

[@PhiyreBawl]

Archer Gaming no, I do believe that is correct; I might have missed that in the commentary so if you're supposed to have one ball remaining you would double the percentage

Lol Dear Jezus Christ.

A bad internet conection can also be the cause of frames beeing dropped, i think cheese had his quality balance to high because once the action started the quality just got fucking ugly while the CPU is still trying to keep the quality nice and smooth it freezes up. (or the recorded video was just fucking recorded with a potato) And this, ofcourse is called Lag. Its called lag in video, and called lag in online. It actually has alot to do with graphics.

Any less HP, and it's unusable in an actual battle, resulting in having to go to the Pokemon center for a heal.

[@Vinnay94]

BloobFace Exactly, I don't know shit about Pokemon speedruns, but I knew there was a reasoning behind the person not attacking the opponent again to drain more health. Why? Common fucking sense. A level 3 pokemon should be easy to catch with 5 poke balls. Plus, the person has done speedruns many times before.

[@Mr724random]

Not everyone knows the catch rate of caterpie off the top of their head. I know so much stupid bullshit about pokemon but that I didn't. Some people who know a lot about pokemon may not find in necessary to know the catch rate of a shitty early game pokemon and would rather remember something more important like something not in a video game. But maybe that's a foreign concept to you.

[@DaFatMan922]

I know nothing about Pokemon but I know how speedrunning works. No matter the catch rate unless the catch rate is EXTREMELY low in the early parts of a run you might as well go for luck for the sake of least time (Especially if resetting only costs like 5 minutes of your time)

[@DaFatMan922]

I would say that even if you understand it has a high rate it helps to know that it's worth the risk that early in the run (even people who know it has a high catch rate seem to think it's still not worth the risk)
