Beside your regular vids do you guys have tutorial
Vids on speed runs, haven't really tried it.

Or introductory vids to speed running?

Not really, we have plenty of speedrun videos but no actual tutorials.  I was thinking a while ago about making some but never got round to it.  I'd still like to and I'll see if I can find time this weekend.

A tutorial for a few maps would be very helpful if you have time to.

It seems some of the spawn mechanics have changed lately or maybe it's just me? Split spawns, spawn immunity, is anyone else seeing this?

I'd be interested in joining the tournament. I'm not a seasoned vet when it comes to speed running, but I think I've got enough experience under my belt doing Gold/Platinum speed runs with a number of you.

[LuckyBullet95]

For tutorials Tatty I'd recommend doing Goddess, Jade, White and/or Glacier. Three of those are the fastest to speedrun and White is the most fun (and commonly ran when we aren't going for Speedrun records) to.

Video tutorials are not as helpful as in game experience IMO. A lot of well done speedrun comes down to knowing callouts, knowing which spawns to block to force them into other areas, and making adjustments. Just try to get some games in with some of the vets in here and it will help you far more than a video ever will (and only Heroicmass bites).

I haven't done any real proper speedrunning since the DLC came out , so I can't really help with split spawn issues. Spawn immunity has been around for a while though. If you are using a grenade character try to hit the spawn with one before shooting the missile, that seemed to help us on Goddess in our last tournament when we were having that issue.

I'm you're right on in game experience, I just don't want to feel like a completely clueless noob. I've watched a few glacier runs on youtube but I know it looks a heck of a lot easier than it is.

I'll do a noobs guide to Glacier covering basic spawn mechanics, wave budgets, call outs, positioning, teamwork etc. Then I'll do some quick video guides on some other maps. Will take a few days to get the footage, record comms, edit, render blah blah blah

Thanks, I think this will help noobs like me and hopefully generate some interest from the community where it doesn't seem so intimidating getting started on speedrunning.

[SlimJim0725]

@NuclearTech: It is actually pretty simple for the most part. Knowing where to run and getting the spawns knocked out quickly is about all there is to it. I felt like a complete noob when I jumped into it as well (I think I put up like 40k while some of the great players were putting up 80k a piece). After like 4-5 games I got the hang of things and kept up the whole time (evenly based scores are usually the quickest games which is why I brought that up).

Take some of us up on our offers to teach, if you are as good as I hear you are it won't take you long to pick up at all. We definitely don't judge people like that, especially if we can see they are trying to learn rather than leech (we did have a fair share of them as well). If you already know the spawn system and mechanics you are already well ahead of most peoplel

I'd be down to help with any if you need an extra Tatty. Going out here in a bit so I probably won't be around until tomorrow since it is already almost 8:30 your time I think.

Probably be on in about an hour or so if anyone is up to showing me the ropes.

[SlimJim0725]

Not sure if anyone will be around then and I am heading out here in a few minutes. Send me a friend request and I'd be glad to try and get something set up soon though.

[TattyUD]

I've sent you a FR. I'm hoping to get back on later but I'm not sure if I'll be able to or not. If I do it'll be in a couple of hours.

[TattyUD]

If it's of any interest this is my playlist of speedrun videos.

Also Tatty we are waiting for your reply. Is this like a Lebron/Decision sort of thing where you build up the suspense?

[TattyUD]

I don't know where you suspense pixies came from, but I like your pixie drink.

I'll try and record some video footage tomorrow evening for basic Glacier runs.

Should be on in about three or four hours and be available most of the night if you or anyone else get a spot. If it's inconvient don't worry, I'm on just about every night for a few hours.

Still waiting on replies from a few more people and we can get the teams put together. Haven't heard back from Relix or Gollum yet and of course we are still waiting on The Decision from Tatty

I heard maybe from both of them last night, but they are waiting to see where Tatty goes before jumping on the bandwagon. I got to get my crew back +1 (Gollum and Raz) if they are in it, that is all I am saying.

[Red the Aloof]

I guess I can try.
