Date: September 3rd, 2026 11:57 AM Author: UhOh speedruns in general are impressive because they require absolute precision in physical execution. success is measured in pixles. an rpg speedrun is much different, it's all about planning. you need to figure out the most efficient way to get the minimum experience, items and weaponry you need - and no more! - in order to survive the bosses. you need an encyclopedic knowledge of all the enemies in order to pull it off. your player setups and fight orders have to be dialed in. so there's a ton of recon going on over all of the possibilities. and then it takes 5-6 hours to actually do it. seems that they allow autosaves because you can always get wiped out by chance every so often, and in some cases they know the exact odds and plan on taking a couple quick Ls. ten years ago 6-7 hours was the top. current record time is 4:59 and he admits totally blowing about a minute. it seems they've figured out the perfect strategy and now it's coming down to step counts and minimal clicks to reequip, like any other speedrun, but for 5 hours.

also it's completely insane and pathetic that young men are spending their lives doing this. |

Date: September 3rd, 2026 12:37 PM Author: UhOh jesus it's crazier than i thought. at the start of the world of ruin, when cid is dying, the top guys do a save and restart...
The Solution: Saving and resetting forces the game's internal encounter/RNG seed back to a known, 100% predictable state. By following exact frame-perfect movement inputs after reloading, runners can guarantee that the fastest fish spawn every single time, allowing them to fully heal Cid in just 4 quick cycles with zero time wasted.
how the fuck did someone figure this out? and that's just one moment in a 5 hour run. there are dozens of tricks like this.
top three runs are separated by 45 seconds. |

Date: September 3rd, 2026 1:10 PM Author: UhOh you can play for 5 hours and miss the record over a chance run-in with doom gaze.
you have to buy and sell items as fast as possible, but if you accidentally buy the wrong kind of rod at 4 hours and 30 minutes you are DONE HERE.
if a random spell hits you and you take an L at 4 hours and 45 minutes, you're done.
it looks like the last 10 minutes are very much down to chance. |

they figured out that you can shave time if you rename every character to one letter, it helps with dialog processing time.

Date: September 3rd, 2026 5:07 PM Author: jon bernthal its not that pathetic when you consider irl is a wasteland of brown human detritus and cunts looting the polity
like, your kneejerk reaction is always "this is insane people could be doing...." what? theres nothing out there but retards driving around buying chicken nuggets
entirety of irl has been hollowed out into unwalkable suburbia, zero third spaces and maximum indians in "good" areas/crazed third worlders everywhere else , you cant do anything enjoyable outside by design. especially if youre white.
The working world is also completely fake and feminized and not productive at all. Everything is designed for haggard women and brown people to get welfare and leech antecedent value parasitically off anyone dumb enough to still be creating value, Human capital gets wasted all the time for much dumber reasons like HR cunts making it impossible to get hired / hold down a job irl. Maybe sometimes the 150+ IQ move is spending your young years drinking mountain dew and playing games
people just dont decide to start focusing on the minutiae of an SNES game for years out of the blue. wake the fuck up you dumb ape |

Date: September 3rd, 2026 10:13 PM Author: Diamond Dallas Chad The run isn't legit if they're saving and reloading. They're basically playing calvinball with this, making up their own random rules. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5900258&forum_id=2...id.#50114721) |

Date: September 3rd, 2026 10:41 PM Author: UhOh i'm pretty sure it's necessary because you're statistically likely to die somewhere along the way. you're barely hanging on in some of these fights. although i don't think the record holder i posted died at all in his run. he had a couple save and resets that they do to restart the random number generator.
and anyway as long as everyone plays by the same rules whatever. there are a bunch of variations too - fastest time through period, fastest time with every character, with every esper, using glitches, etc.
same guy from OP broke the all characters/espers record 10 days ago:
