Skyward Sword: Any% Test Speed Run - Segment 1

[RainingLizards]

u turned this into one of ur sonic speed runs...

[frozenmetroid27027]

how do you get the triforce beside your name on the file select

[fishstickssss]

:D Maybe this will inspire me to play through the game more...

[ghostlink2027]

Well I see what you mean. For now though I can't find anything wrong as for tactics. Then again I'm not a hard core speed runner.

[Tajem]

Dat fatigue at 5:46. :(

[Zm4rf]

self-confidence!

[smk2]

You should use the text speed modifier code for this so you don't waste time with in-game dialogue (which tends to take quite awhile).

[mzxrules]

@smk2 I disagree. The dialog should be there for timing.

[MrSparkle404]

Replying to all the comments. How many segments do you expect?

[LetsPlayNintendoITA]

you can skip the cutscenes only after beating the game once?

[mzxrules]

@LetsPlayNintendoITA I thumbed you down by accident =O

Nope. Cutscenes can be skipped as soon as they've played through to the end once on your file. You don't even have to save the game. So in "theory" you can start a normal mode save, play until the first bird statue, then beat the entire game without saving, and you'll be able to skip every cutscene.

But it's just easier to edit skip.dat in the save file itself.

[MilesSMB]

Yeah, it's best to just edit the skip.dat file.

Might as well find out where it saves your location too and put yourself in Hylia's Domain while you're at it.

[mas8705]

Its not that it is going to suck eventually, rather that it will be "improved on" at a later time...

Besides, if anyone can show how to dismantle a game, its you...

[Paraxade0]

No, it's going to suck now. It's a test run. I'm not going to put a ton of effort into it.

[Paraxade0]

Case in point, this first segment is already obsolete. I just redid it because I was stupid earlier and didn't realize it prompts you to save very soon after where I decided to cut the segment. :P

[4203105]

@Paraxade0 so when can we see the updated seg?

[BLByline]

Dude, the stamina stuff is going to make this a really tough running experience for a Zelda game. You can't just superslide or abuse wolf speed like TP. Running out of stamina trying to climb that last ledge looks pretty bad. Is that faster than not sprinting for a second and getting up the first try?

[Heatsplosion]

That low battery logo is a menace.

[GreenRoomGames]

If it's inevitably going to suck why upload it?

[Paraxade0]

Already answered that

[adzicents]

You battery is dying.

[WaddleDee105]

It's nice to see a test run as people hardly ever show them. I still haven't gotten around to 100%ing this game. (Been playing too much Sonic Generations, Gears 3, and UMvC3) so I'll get 100% before I watch the other parts.

[Paraxade0]

Showing it is the whole point. :P I want people to watch this so all the little things I'm missing can be pointed out and we can get a more optimal run.

[lylatfox4]

u feel ur ready already? lol

[XBladenoJutsu]

I sure hope youve been keeping tabs on Kazooie, Aleckermit and such for strats and stuff.

[Deboogs]

Isn't this a bit early to be doing a speedrun?

[Paraxade0]

It's a test run. So not really. :P
