I watched a speedrun of Mario 64 and also a speedrun of a handheld Zelda game. I think it was Link's Awakening, but I can't remember. I didn't totally watch them all the way through. For the Zelda one, I had it running for quite a while. An hour and a half? Two hours? I don't remember, but I watched it while doing other things. As for the Mario one, I watched about half of it while working on other things. I was really impressed... Until I found out that the Mario one had actually been pieced together. Okay, picture it this way. You're trying to get through FF9 in 12 hours. (Which you do to get the best weapon, blah blah.) Do you actually do it in 12 hours? NO. You go to a shop, pick out what you want to buy, reset the game, go back, buy everything in like three seconds. You fight a boss, decide it took too long, reset the game, etc. (Well, I don't think someone would do a speedrun of a game like this, it's just a totally different type of game. I just mean you didn't ACTUALLY do it in 12 hours.) It's cool and all, and speedruns/12 hours/whatever take a lot of planning and etc., but like... think about it. "WHOO I HAS A SPEEDRUN OF 2 HOURS ON MARIO." Did you REALLY do it in 2 hours, or did you cut out the parts you messed up? (or restarted, etc?) It's all still pretty cool, but it's not the same. That's all I'm saying, with a ton of explanation, whoo hoo. XD |
