Tarokitchen has had a confirmed 11 world records in RSG: 1:23:09 1:09:02 58:16 49:28 47:59 45:07 37:43 33:33 30:45 27:55 26:48

If you need any more information just ask and I'll be happy to provide sources

Wow, I really havent checked these forums in the past year. Great finds guys.

As for the rerouting with Season 1 Skip, I will take that under my wing and create a route that hopefully is able to merge with the old route and save time.

As for clarifying the current route. @NykolasN you mentioned some things need explaining. Would you like to elaborate so I can make it better?

EDIT: After realizing when these comments were posted. I remembered that a few months after y'alls posts I rerouted the game to make Knuckle gloves obsolete. This takes $1100 dollars out of the equation I beleive giving us more money at the beginning of season 2 than in the original route. The only harm I see is that i may be harder to get enough money for the MECHA, but we can just use the +$500 marketing to get free money.

I've routed this and its really interesting with slabs and ladders. But this will probably go on the Category Extension Leaderboards once we complete all of the ILs.

I'll consider it. Right now I do not have the time to fully reorganize the leaderboards but if i get some time I will try. I think I will keep it at any% for simplicity sake.

So I finished a route for All Bosses, I just havent gotten the time to do a run @Brave_lil_Nora . I believe it is seconds and not milliseconds, though i may be wrong. What are you routing?

Which level runs in particular? For instance the really small ILs would be clearly locked for coop because coop isn't faster than singleplayer. Maybe one for all bosses perhaps, but that would be fairly hard to implement like we have for RSG coop.

As for the Any% categories the only one that is currently faster Coop is RSG, although RS and SSG have some potential. However the time save in the latter two is so minimal its unlikely that another category for them would be created.

Optifine is allowed currently as long as you dont use the Zoom function. There is a problem however of Optifine playing a role in how, for instance, end portal eyes generate as well as other world generation. So it is currently up for some debate.

@knewster the time RNG starts upon pressing the "start" button when beginning a file. I think it may vary from Mac to PC version as the same time value gave me different starts. The current route I have made works for the Mac version of the game. I still need to find a seed w/ a Living Forest.

Refer to the guides section of the leaderboards

We know it should be called NG+, its just Oz hasn't changed it

Yeah I doubt it will become a category unless y'all somehow sub illumina in RS.

So while routing All Bosses for vanilla don't starve, I wanted to test around with manipulating world spawns. What I found was really useful.

In other games (i.e. pokemon) RNG in part has to do with the system time when certain actions are done. Well I tried testing if that worked with world spawns in this game. And to my surprise it did.

Pretty much its based on what time you press "Start" to create the world. I'm going to mess with this and use it in my all bosses run. I wanted to show y'all this so it can be put to good use.

P.S. The All Bosses run in general will be a really cool run to watch! hope y'all enjoy it in the coming weeks!

why are you using 1.1? 1.2 has the dupe glitch

What are you attempting to find a seed for? also we've tried countless different ways, like amidst and such. Crafterdark and Azlef (to good programmers in our community) figured out that strongholds are seeded differently than most seeds, and you can find multiple seeds with the exact same strongholds (location and everything). So if you do find a seed with a VERY close stronghold, you can reverse engineer your way to another seed like that.

Well, I really don't think it would be a good strat based on how endermen spawn. You would have to place all of those blocks and hope that spawns. Doing a really fast bridge is definitely faster.

Yes, and its great

I want this thread to be a place for us to gather data about glitches, skips, etc. Below will be a list with videos and everything. Feel free to comment and I'll add yours and give you credit. I'll also add what version it works in.

Glitches:

1. Glitched Chromatize Button / Skill Refresh Description: If you Chromatize immediately when your turn begins (the "Squad's Turn" text shows up), and press tab. Wait for the Chromatize animation and switch back to the first character. Now every character but your first one (which will usually be Scout) will be Chromatized with their skills. You will also have a Glitched (Invisible) Chromatize Button, which can be used to Chromatize again, therefore refreshing your skills without Skill Regen. NOTE: This can be done infinitely at the beginning of each turn even if your first character is dead. NOTE: This effect can be done at any point during a turn if there are two characters on the screen and one has a Chromatize button. Just Press the Chromatize button on one and tab immediately to the other.

2. AI Turn Skip Description: During a fight if your party is concentrated in one area and you lure the enemies to that area, you can move one character very far from the rest of them. The enemies will continue to agro on the other members until they die. If you are far enough away after, the AI of the enemies will not detect you and none of them will do anything, therefore skipping the turn. NOTE: This is very helpful on set turn fights (i.e. fights were you have to last a certain number of turns) as it skips the enemy movement entirely. NOTE: This Glitch is easy to do on harder difficulties as your character can take enough damage to die.

3. Season Finale Final Cutscene Skips Description: On Season Finales for S1-4 there is a cutscene after the final scene which comes after a loading screen. If you go to the menu and press "abort episode", you will leave out of the episode, but it will consider that episode to be beaten. You will gain everything you normally gain from that episode and can continue onto the next season.

4. Audience Report Skip / Money Save Description: After any Season Episode (excluding finales), you can press the "esc" key during the Audience Report Screens. This will exit you to the pre-episode menu, where you can go to record the next episode. The Money/Fans gained/lost from that episode will not be counted to your total, and emails will not show up in your inbox. However, all materials gained from the episode will be accounted for. NOTE: This is helpful for episodes where we lose money. This will allow us to accumulate a large sum of money to use on Weapons/Stat Boosts/Mecha. NOTE: This saves around 10 Seconds per episode from skipping the screens. NOTE: This skips having to read/reply to some e-mails. This even includes the director's emails, which we can skip and still get the same story line as we usually do.

5. Glitched Chromatize Button into Cutscene Description: If you GCB before you land the last hit on the last enemy of the scene, and attack them during the Chromatize, you will finish the level (getting the director feedback) while Chromatizing. The Chromatize animation will go into the director feedback and one character's skills will be present during cutscene. However that character's skills cannot be used.

6. Audience Report Skip / Dropped Items Exploit Description: Do an Audience Report Skip and in the following episode attack an enemy to drop some items. Then press "esc", then "Abort Episode". When you abort the episode the Audience Report Screen should come up again, but in the "Materials Dropped" part it should display the items dropped before you aborted the episode. Now you have the items that dropped during the episode, before you start it. NOTE: Once you get the items before an episode, you can re-enter an episode and abort it again. This will give you the same items again. This can be repeated several times to stack up items.

Video: N/A

7. Season 1 Complete Skip (Found by Maejin in 2019, rediscovered by Hardrocker in 2020) Description: By rapidly clicking the "Sign" button under the New Contract for Season 1 (right after the prologue), the game will increment your state to Season 2. This skips all of season 1 and brings you right to season 2. NOTE: This skip should in theory save around 10 minutes, but due to the low amount of money, not every weapon can be acquired at this point. Rerouting will need to be done

Here is a bunch of Clips/OOB I have seen online from the game: http://www.speedrun.com/ssbb/thread/xh5g1

Just one input. Speedrunning, while competitive in nature, isn't all about competing with each other for a top time just so someone can get the feeling of being the fastest at a game. NO. The point is to push to game to its limits. Use every mechanic of the game to its advantage, which in this case includes Amiibo. So if y'all don't want to push the game to its lowest potential time: separate categories. Just know that if your not using Amiibos and submitting to the other category your merely getting a sense of being better because your not in the "fast heat". Thank you
