Well breaks are inherently allowed in segmented speedruns of longer games. However there are people who do single segments of stuff like FFX in about 10 hours.

Also, name his mistakes: http://dl.speeddemosarchive.com/demo.pl?Mario1_458

I love watching speed runs. My favorite runner is SRKFunkdoc.

How he crushes games is just amazing. His Holy diver runs are getting better and better.

I personally like trying to 1 credit complete/1 life complete games. I almost 1 life completed the first loop of Gradius III on Arcade difficulty for the SNES. Got to the final stage, 2nd half of the stage then died.

I raised $10 for the American Cancer Society, and I plan on doing another stream next week for the same cause. Mightysquirrel is my Twitch name, and I have the 1 life completion attempt saved on my channel

I'm pretty certain that I am going to start speedrunning Berzerk on the Atari 2600, to get to a mil. Last time took 10 hrs and 10 min, and that's with a lot of deaths. A lot less deaths, less times goofing off, and I know I can get under 10 hours easy.

I think the most noticeable error is jumping over the last pipe in the last level. He could have saved like half a second there.

I've been watching a lot of people run Pokemon lately. You have to have more luck than all of the people in an entire city to get a good run. In addition, money management is definitely a bitch. Mess up once and you're pretty much fucked.

Also, random runs are possibly the most hilarious category for any game.

I've been working on Banjo-Kazooie under 3 hours, but my best was something like 3:03, and I kept having runs with massive mistakes that ruined everything and kinda lost interest. Well, 3:03 is still decent...

Zelda OoT is also a game I liked to run, but I don't like doing it with glitches. Just pure and simple speedrunning through every dungeon and temple. I've done it in seven hours at best, can still do better. I don't really feel like wasting my time on it now anyway.

This Chrono Trigger run was pretty much the moment I decided I only cared about 100% runs. I have literally no clue what is going on at any point during that video. I'd like to think that a speedrun should be a demonstration of skill and planning that any of the rest of us putzes could achieve given that level of dedication, not a race to rewrite the game's code.

Also, fuck the Excalibur II.
