WR Speedrunner Reacts to "I Attempted a Speedrun (and got a world record)" by Jaiden Animations

When I saw ‪@jaidenanimations‬ had uploaded a speedrunning video I HAD to react to it. As someone who has done a lot of "first runs" and very few "second runs," that thrill of finally playing a game fast under time pressure is amazing! I've also devoted a good chunk of my time making content to the speedrunning community and getting more people into the speedrunning community, and I love this video and just how awesome it is in a niche that can be jaded from time to time.
If you haven't seen it, Jaiden attempts her first speedrun. I won't spoil the game here suffice it to say it's a Nintendo DS game and hilarious. Not only does Jaiden go on to make a page on speedrun.com for the game, but several categories of which she takes the World Record in ALL of them. I'm going to look at her animated video about her run and point out some of the common issues runners have, some of the experiences she has that seasoned speedrunners will also have, and just the all-around awesomeness of this great video.
OF COURSE GO CHECK OUT JAIDEN'S VIDEO IT'S AWESOME: • I Attempted a Speedrun...

It's been a few days and Jaiden is *STILL* the WR holden in All Gold Medals. I wonder how much longer it'll last. Edit: This video along with Jaiden's has encouraged me to speedrun one of my favorite games. But first I need to get a computer that will run the darn thing. It's a game from 2001 that only seems to run on Windows 2000 or XP, and I haven't played it in over a decade. Wish me luck. Hopefully, I'll be able to do it in a year or two. I won't tell you the name because I don't want to stress myself out when suddenly a run with only a few runs on it suddenly turn to dozens. :P

[@YoBGS]

Haha best of luck! If you need help getting setup on speedrun.com or anything let me know! I’m not much of a PC runner but I’m sure there are tons of people who can get ya set up

[@nathanielspohn3004]

Worst case, you could probably run a virtual pc with the right OS. Not sure if speedrun has a problem with that, but if you want to start, that might be better than trying to get an old pc

[@demonizedlife2640]

I'm glad that she was smart to go for a game without a record yet. I started with GTA SA and realized the record was somewhere around sub 15 mins because it was categorized as any% YES AJS (Yes Arbitrary Jumping Script) and the amount of bullshit to take and understand how the glitch works is beyond anybody's comprehension.

[@YoBGS]

Funny you bring that up bc when it was discovered it broke everyone in the speedrun community’s minds. That is one of the most incomprehensible tricks to me. Isn’t there a Glitchless category though or at least one with less of the completely broken strats?

[@demonizedlife2640]

@@YoBGS Yeah there categories such Any% (No Major Glitches) and Any% (No AJS), It's slightly harder to pull off some glitches in that category but at least it's humanly possible compared to (Yes AJS). It mostly involves skipping missions by dupping (performing a glitch that makes you complete 2 of the same missions at the same time to increase the game's mission counter in order to skip the next mission).

[@coencarlberg7047]

I started Speed running Cuphead a few months ago. After 200% and s rank play through and just over all playing the game a ton casually, the idea of speed running was a huge turn off. I started off with a category that used a gun that I was more familiar with just to sort of test the waters. I then moved into one of the more “main” categories and have been grinding at it ever since. Probably the best part about speed running is the community. Other runners are always finding out new strats and routs and glitches and helping out new runners and so on. There are plenty other awesome things about speed running but my hands are getting tired and you’re probably tired of reading this....

[@YoBGS]

With Cuphead, being able to speedrun it has to feel amazing. That game was almost impossible! And that was even after I saw TMR speedrun it and used some of the cheese strats haha. Thanks a ton for your comment though because you summed up what’s great about the community better than I could!

[@thebesthitscd3323]

@@YoBGS I wouldn’t say that there’s an issue with the pausing per say. It actually encourages people to go watch the original if they don’t want the interruptions rather than just watch all of it through other people and then not support the original video. Honestly there’s a case for both sides.

It gets better as the series goes. Kinda. A little. Okay maybe not by much.

[@Regdren]

Sometimes you just need a little push to get into speedrunning a game. I remember commenting on an (emulated) arcade game speedrun. At the time I watched speedruns but never even considered trying it myself. They responded "you should try beating my time." So I did. It was a lot more fun than I expected! Also I made so many mistakes and anyone who really wanted to outspeed my Ninja Kids playthrough could probably do it easily. But that's how speedrunning goes, right?

[@YoBGS]

Exactly! Everyone’s kinda got their spot in the speedrunning world. Like am I ever gonna have the Mario 64 records? Nah. But I can find some cool obscure games and do runs and encourage people to beat them. Now time for me to see what Ninja Kids is all about...

That whole, "this and that problem" I actually relate with. because my Sunshine disc for Gamecube is hella old, I have difficulty trying to get it to the intro screen. and well.... I can only enjoy my 100% save file on it because since about a year ago, I discovered that halfway through the end credits (before the final save that would allow you to get the corona mountain shine) my game would crash without fail.... so even for my LP I personally couldn't show anyone either ending through my own power.

[@YoBGS]

It’s wild you say that because I have the same problem with Tony Hawk. Before the remake came out, I was routinely running Tony Hawk 1-3 as a trifecta. The problem is that my disc was broken for THPS3 so it would routinely crash when loading levels leading to time loss. It’s that whole thing where you just kinda play against yourself since you’re the only one with that particular set of circumstances haha

[@farmingsim9813]

You should have your disc resurfaced at a local store, that could very well fix it.

[@neolithiumproduction]

Glad to hear your thoughts through this as a speedrunner. I personally wouldn't do a speedrun, cause I personally enjoy taking my time in games. Though if I had to choose, I would do Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I've beaten that game so many times, and enjoy playing it everytime (usually once a year). ^^'

[@YoBGS]

You might like Ocarina of Time Randomizers then! If you're unfamiliar, they take every item you get from a chest and mix them all up! So a random chest may have the Megaton Hammer and the big chest in Fire Temple may only have 5 rupees. It's sorta speedrunning, sorta puzzle solving, but it's really cool overall!
