TASBot presents Super Metroid
|
Super Metroid is a mainstay of GDQ and while the 0% TAS was shown in 2018, none of the other amazing TAS runs have been presented. The any%, low%, and 100% runs by Sniq are each fantastic in their own right and could be a bid war. Kill vs save the animals can be a donation incentive for any of the runs. The TASBot team will be presenting with strong commentary using marathon-safe video encodes with camera fixes to show superhuman antics from Samus despite heavy glitching.

No dull moments in this run: secret codes, ladder storage, death warps, several area skips, dark segments, boss death plane abuse, cutscene/animation cancels, wall and door clips, and a nerve-racking final boss. Please bring TUNIC back! 🦊

Thief: Gold
|
Thief: Gold is the "definitive edition" sorta to Thief: The Dark Project. Three new levels are added to the main campaign but pretty much every other speedtech is left in check. Bunnyhopping flying through levels and clipping through every wall helps us play the game in a totally unintended but exciting way. NewDark engine category fixes some bugs but introduces object deletions so we end up being thieving GODS and take items at will with a few setups. OldDark is more traditional glitchy go fast

TimeShift is about manipulating time to become a super soldier and stop a doctor from ruling the world. From the moment you get your gun, you immediately break the game through a series of grenade jumps, object flings, and out of bounds walks. Every level in the game has a skip of some kind with some beaten almost instantly. Also, any fall damage can be negated through a save/loading glitch so falling isn't a problem!

Tintin In Tibet
|
Tintin in Tibet is a classic awful french game. It looks great but is very difficult and not very intuitive. Obstacles are hard to read and the collision are also pretty bad. It's probably the most famous license game from Infogrames (the french ljn) which was used to adapting belgian comic books into games (lucky luke, the smurfs, spirou etc.). It's the kind of game you want as a kid because it looks nice and immediately regret asking for once you start playing it.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory

Chaos Theory is a lot of people's favorite Splinter Cell game. The glitches that are used in this game don't feel game breaking which is something that some viewers (and runners) appreciate about this speedrun.
There is a lot of AI manipulation and fast equipment management going on in this game. The levels allow for multiple routes, so seeing which routes are taken in the speedrun already makes for an entertaining watch.
The technical nature of the run allows for a very informative commentary.

The Typing of the Dead

House of the Dead 2 but instead of shooting zombies with a gun, you type at them. A new trick discovered since I last ran this at a GDQ allows for very easy and consistent sub 30 runs, even with some wiggle room to show off a few of the more heinous voice-acted cutscenes. On top of that, the wacky and bottomless word pool is great for marathons and means runs are fresh and fun every time.

The Secret of Monkey Island
|
The Secret of Monkey Island is one of the most well known point and click adventures of the 90's, spawning a series of 6 games, the most recent of which came out late last year. SoMI is an iconic game for a number of reasons, both between it's player friendly design and it's injection of humor. The speedrun is an interesting one as it shows off results of years of route optimizations as well as many cool tricks and strats as we speedily try and become a mighty pirate.

High-score runs involve super precise aim and mastery of unlocked charged shots to optimize the points from every group of enemies. The score route has dramatically changed since Zallard1’s 2014 AGDQ run. Instead of Area 6, this new route goes through Bolse using a precise and difficult glitch that obtains a previously unthought number of possible points. My WR for this route is 3085, averaging around 2800 in marathon settings, including the first-ever 3000-point run on a GDQ Hotfix.

This game's any% run is divided into two categories. One that allows a glitch called "hovering," and one that doesn't, called hoverless. The run with hovers is unique to hoverless, and allows for much faster and different routing. A friend of mine, Kaons, will be showing off the hoverless any% category during Fall Pace 2023, so I thought now would be a good time to show off the best of both worlds.

Sonic Adventure 2: Battle
|
Sonic Adventure 2, one of the more appreciated 3d Sonic games, and one with a speedrun full of history, and fascinating glitches and movement optimizations.
I'm offering two categories (with a potential bid war between them) with a playstyle that's never been seen on the big stage, where you're required to complete the story while collecting every A-Rank.
This adds a lot more depth to the run, as now you can't simply run to the goal ring and finish the stage, so point routing becomes crucial.

Skator Gator 3D
|
Skator Gator 3D (2023) is an adorable 3D platformer where you take the role of Greenjamin, the skator gator, as he tries to reclaim the deed to his swamp that was stolen by Traitor Gator!
SG3D features exciting tricks, interesting movement, and is dripping with charm.
This short, yet sweet experience involves us going through 13 stages in a blisteringly fast pace!
Offered as a solo run and also as a race between Ozmourn & shovelclaws. We're okay with any number/combination of us as a race.

Sekiro
|
This action RPG developed by FromSoft is fast paced and constant action. The combat is a dance-like back and forth, and the movement has a unique verticality to it with the grappling hook. Any% and No Airswim are filled with visually spectacular glitches, while All Bosses fits in a new boss every other minute and keeps up the pace the whole way through. The randomizer is a unique and VERY challenging twist on the game, but surprisingly consistent in timing with the right settings.

Resident Evil 2 Remake
|
The idea is to complete one scenario without taking any damage. At all. This differs from regular speedruns in that there's safety strats which are 100% consistent. But it is still pretty fast. I've done this on Speedruns from the Crypt previously, and I'd like a chance to bring it to the main stage.
I can do this with Leon 1st or Claire 1st scenarios, which can be presented as a donation incentive.
On the off-chance that I DO take damage, I will donate $100 to the charity for every hit taken.

Resident Evil 4 (2023)
|
Resident Evil 4 Remake is a run quite similar to that of the OG Resident Evil 4 in that it has tons of skips, tech, and optimizations that are very fun to watch. The run has quite a bit of RNG that runners have to adapt to, so no run is ever the same, making it a great run to spectate. This run will be on the hardest difficulty (Professional), meaning that there will be no autosaves and it is very unforgiving.

Satisfactory is a simulation/automation game that tasks the player with building factories and shipping good to Earth. Every run of this game is super unique and highly precise, because every choice leads to a wildly variable outcome by the end.
Over the last year the community has exploded with the discovery of some significant exploits that turn the entire game on its head. Runs of this game showcase quick improvisation and highly efficient routes that leave no room for dull moments.

Pseudoregalia
|
Pseudoregalia is an Indie 3D platformer/metroidvania that released earlier this summer and is soon to be seen at GDQx. With incredible movement tech such as ultra sidehops, kneeslides, platform slidecancels, and moonkicks, the game's platforming is incredibly satisfying to watch. Yashichi and Killingpepsi are also submitting and we think a race of either Any% or 100% would be great to watch.

Pokemon Diamond/Pearl
|
This is a glitched category for Diamond/Pearl. Instead of getting all 8 badges and beating the Elite Four, we simply walk straight into the Hall of Fame through a series of bizarre glitches. We tweak in and out of unloaded zones with very precise movement to warp to the end of the game. Its a great showing that allows us to show the weirdness of Diamond/Pearl in both the normal gameplay portion and the wild glitch portion, while being one of the shortest Pokemon speedruns!

Only Up!

The game that took the Twitch, YouTube, and Speedrunning communities by storm! Only Up! is a "rage game" where you can lose ALL of your progress and fall back to the start on a single mistake. And while that can cause frustration for the average player, it will turn to bewilderment as we use skips and launches to reach the top in under half an hour.

I had the honor of showing TTYD's All Crystal Stars category at GDQx2019, and since then the Any% category has had a lot of changes with the route and new glitches to show off thanks to the community's hard work that make the run entertaining for anyone to watch!

A 3D Collect-A-Thon platformer about a man with no arms locked inside his office. Luckily, he has the ability to propel himself like a .50 caliber bullet. This allows him to complete all 4 levels in the game at breakneck speeds. This run showcases intricate routing, tight and stylish movement, and some pretty wacky locales in between.
Truly, this is why it's Orbo's Odyssey.

Possible awful block candidate.
The Unknown Ninja Gaiden game. Someone is trying to steal Ryu Hayabusa's dragon sword to start world War III. Ryu in this game has very floaty moon jumps and lacks iframes. If hit in a certain matter, Yyu can be nearly juggled to death instantly (ex 6:50). Ryu attacks with his sword mostly, while being able to pick up a few sub weapons with ammo(called force) that are very useful against all bosses.

Fun platforming is combined with neat speed tech, where we try to make certain tight cycles or reduce lag by hitting enemies and picking up coins.
The US version has a few differences from the JP one (like item placement), but most importantly: here our chef sports a fancy moustache.

There is also one trick we use known as a "Ledge Warp" which you frame perfect morph during a climb animation. This stores Samus last known location and when you unmorph it warps samus back to the location the trick was activated in.

Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge

Monkey Island 2 is a LucasFilm point and click adventure from the early 90's, but of late has been one of the most active speedgames in the adventure game scene this past year. The run shows off high levels of execution and percision, as well as the results of many years of the community's work routing. Most notably, a skip and new movement tech was discovered earlier this year and would be very cool to show off at a major event, the effects of which have shaved multiple minutes off the WR.

Granny
|
Granny is a very popular indie game, where you must collect various things to assemble ways of escaping her house. The run is short and sweet... but this isn't just Granny. This is Granny 1, 2, AND 3, back to back to back, random seeds, glitchless. It is the most intense, and entertaining way of showcasing the games. We have named it, The Nanthology. Estimate is generous, due to randomized items, and unpredictable Granny/Grandpa/Slendrina behavior.

In addition to the standard US version, swordsmankirby and I are also submitting the rarely done hardest difficulty in the Japanese version, which features even more complex synchronized puzzle-solving.

Gimmick!

Cute 2D platformer which uses a star as a primary weapon. The interesting tech is mostly from being able to jump on said star to use for fast movement and as an extra platform in some places. It's a fairly easy run to digest and visually appealing with all the tech and optimizations
There's some new tech discovered after I ran this game for SGDQ 2021 and in part "Glitchless" was renamed to "Zipless"

Just don't go into the dark forest - a rogue missingno could turn this cozy cooking game into a horrible nightmare. And the corpse mushrooms - those probably aren't good to feed to people, right?

Final Fantasy V Pixel Remaster
|
Final Fantasy V is an underrated gem of a Final Fantasy game. The job system allows for some really unique strats, a personal favourite of mine being the boss fights in the void where you use Chemists to mix items to put berserk on the boss and make it a dragon so a knight can cover the berserk hits and a Bard can do 8x damage to dragons(3:31:20). Also can't forget one of the most iconic FF songs ever. Battle at the Big Bridge.

The first 3DS FE and introduced the series to many newcomers. The speedrun snowballs the avatar into the most OP unit and breaks the game with Galeforce - move again upon defeating an enemy. The run is very cheesy and short, yet still has room for fun commentary. Incentives include picking the avatar name, and a bid war for letting Chrom finish the last boss or not, changing the ending.

Fort Boyard: The Challenge
|
Fort Boyard is a game show I never shut up about. The odds of me ever BEING on said show is basically slim to none, but I can at least experience and speedrun the computer equivalent of doing that with this 1996 FMV party game for MS-DOS.
This run is for the "full show" which includes the key games, council, adventures and the treasure room. The run will test my mental skills, hand-eye coordination, hand agility and more. I'm serious about that.
Will I release the fort's gold?

Final Fantasy XV: Royal Edition
|
Final Fantasy XV Royal Edition is what the game should have been upon release. One of the most gorgeous and underrated FF in my opinion, this game has some very interesting speed tech involving reading active combat situations, and efficiency of movement as well as a few skips that make it a little spicy for the Out of Bounds fans, but is also a great introduction to RPG speedrunning.
We show off how to exploit the magic system, the equipment system and just the game in itself.

This includes all the combat, that involves alot of spawn memorization and combat tech. All on the highest difficulty (non-permadeath).

The Strawberry Jam collab is the largest and highest quality Celeste mod ever created, being the culmination of over 2 years of work from the community. The beginner lobby is the easiest and least restrictive of the 5 difficulty lobbies, allowing for many flashy tricks and skips throughout.

It ends at the Heartside, which combines aspects of every previous level into one climactic finale.

There's a lot of things you could say about Brilliant Bob: It has an amazing story. It has exquisite level design. It has a large fan base that care about the game. Imean, those are all false, but you COULD say these things. Bob is quite a wacky run consisting of very difficult platforming and full of zoomies across the map. As lame as this game truly is to play, it is a great watch and I would love to show off just how bizarre of a speedgame this is.
