this category has dropped 11 minutes and 43 seconds in the past year! super stoked to say farewell to this category, at least until a new challenger approaches :)

this run was a 1:54 improvement on my previous record too. reached what i thought was considered a reasonable limit for this game with all the RNG, but there might be another minute or two out there if someone's eager enough to take it.

I need to get at least sub 8 and my pb is 8.102 but i didn't recorded my pb, the video is the way i speedrun this level

Hello, I am looking for a new game to either speedrun or look forward to soon speedrunning.

What I want in a game is only two things:
Some RNG
3d Platformer or Platformer ESQ

I have liked games such as Bully & Simpsons Hit and Run, which both have good amounts of RNG in them, with NPC traffic, people stealing your bike, car traffic, etc

I would prefer a newer game though that came out somewhat recently

I play on PC

Hi, I am 2838, the head of the recent Half-Life 2 Done Without Game-Breaking Glitches segmented speedrun released on SourceRuns.

What that run and other segmented speedruns don't convey is the sheer amount of work that goes into them, and I don't think any amount of text can really describe it, so why not show it!

Due to a programming bug I made in my segmenting tools which left retried segments behind, I've been able to render all 177,474 demos (totaling 170 hours) into one video, so you can now appreciate the sheer scale of work (and mismanagement) that this run took.

P.S. Don't actually speedrun Half-Life 2 like this. ABH is fun, walking for 2 hours is not.

Hey guys! I've had the idea of doing a feet only challenge playthrough as a follow-up to my one-handed challenge for a few days now, and it was actually really tough! I can't wait to do more challenges in the future!

I will never sleep comfortably again :')

I don’t follow DS1 WRs super-closely, but that’s such a batshit ballsy strat to save a few seconds, I’m surprised I haven’t heard of it. Anybody know how long that’s been in play? Maybe I’m just out of the loop.

But y’all, I was watching the run, and he suddenly turns and goes to jump into the abyss in Sen’s, and I’m like buddy wtf are you doing, and then he lands on a fucking swinging blade and I’m like BUDDY WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING lol.

Awesome.

Dev here (Lucas). Community rule is clear: no run, no post. So here's my run and the leaderboard from last week's local tournament with real times: https://www.speedrun.com/es-ES/Frog_Knight

Frog Knight is a game I'm building specifically around speedrun-friendly design. Is a mix of Jump King + Hollow Knight (+ Celeste sometimes). Routes, tech, and category structure are baked in from the start. The tournament confirmed that and some of the times coming out of it were genuinely impressive for a game this new.

We're planning a second tournament around launch, basically a launch-day competition. If you're curious about the game or want to get reps in early, it's on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3897830/Frog_Knight/

Wishlist numbers matter a lot for us right before end of month, so if it looks interesting, help us hitting that button 🐸

I love seeing glitches in speedrun and I always see cool stories about the history of speedrunning in games like mario 64 or zelda but any bug need to be found by someone and some people specialize in bug hunting or so I heard

So I always wondering how do you go about finding bugs? Like surely you can't find a teleportation glitch on accident?? Does it require extensive technical knowledge in the console hardware or in case of modern games the game engine or the physics engine being used? How do you even go figure that out if you're playing on a super niche game with a small community?

Oblivion 100% is a community driven speedrun category that aims to define 100% as finite statistics that can be easily tracked in game, as well as being the highest of all 10 permanent factions and achieving all greater powers.

Why did they have to beat Bowser 2 (In the Fire Sea)? Is it just that they have to go through the upstairs door so many times that getting the key is quicker than doing whatever glitch is needed to bypass the upstairs door every time they need to?

I feel stupid for needing explanation / confirmation but I’m also kinda surprised they didn’t say why they had to beat Bowser 2 (unless they did and I missed it).

Edit: solved, I was right to feel stupid lol, I just forgot how SM64 speedruns work.

as you can see in the video the auto splitter has more splits then the splits file provided by the speedrun resources on this game is there a way i can add my own splits and have it correspond with the auto splitter or add those splits that are in the auto splitter?

As it says in the title pretty much. I really love the balance of tight movement and major glitches that Portal's Inbounds category provides, but I'm up against a wall and I want to take a break and see if I can find another really satisfying speedrun. I especially liked the progression of learning harder techniques for bigger time saves, and the payoff of a really good run is 10/10. I don't have any consoles, and I'd prefer a run that's under an hour for beginners if possible, but that second requirement is flexible if it's really fun.

So far, Titanfall 2 looks like my best bet, but it's pretty long and I'm not sure if I can dedicate the time to get good. Are there any other games I should be aware of before I dive into Titanfall 2?

SGDQ 2026 established it, and the fans/runners demand it! 2026 is officially the year of the heavy tech! Check out this all-new episode of Trick of the Week for Stranglehold, a game brimming with glitch potential. Watch as Inspector Tequila borrows Knuckles' glide move from Sonic, with a rolling twist! This video explores how the trick can be used to go Out of Bounds and sequence-break large levels, potentially leading to big time saves!

Finally nailed the strategy I've been chasing for the last few weeks. Damn that is satisfying! Very risky in a full run but I am very stoked to have gotten the cleanest strat I can think of on tape.

Start Time: 2.967, End Time: 34.4, Frame Rate: 30, Time: 31.433
