Title: [Challenge] Do "Speedrunners" Have Any Skill?
Post by: Orkinman on May 07, 2020, 09:31:37 am
First off, you people are crybabies. I posted my Goldeneye Dam WR, and instead of having some humility and accepting that an outsider was far better than any of you, you responded by moving my post and disregarding my WR. Your "leader board" has no credibility.

Putting that aside, I've been wondering: Do speedrunners actually have any skill at FPS games? From what I can tell, it seems like you need to spend years of your lives practicing the exact same routine to the point of insanity to be able to pull off a single run that remotely resembles any sort of competency. I'm guessing if you went against any pro in a 1v1 competitive setting, you'd get clapped out so fast and hard it would leave you with permanent damage to whatever small amount of functional brain cells you people are working with.

I'm a pro FPS gamer who's been playing the Quake series for over 2 decades, and my lifetime tournament earnings are well into 7 figures. I would absolutely DUMPTRUCK any of you hacks 1v1 in any FPS game. You'd get 100-0'd every spawn, there's no question about that, so going against me wouldn't really prove anything. We need something easier to gauge how you stack up.

Here's my challenge: Reach 300 seconds in Devil Daggers in under 2 hours of played time. (Don't worry, the game is so cheap, I'm sure even you low income speedrunners can afford it.) FYI: I reached 300 sec after just several attempts due to my world class aim, movement, spacial awareness, and cognition, and after a few hours of play I attained a top 25 rank (at the time).

If any of you neckbeard slobs can actually do this, I might be willing to entertain the possibility that you may, in fact, be a skilled gamer. But what I suspect is that this thread will lie dormant, and what I already know to be true will be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt: Speedrunners are mentally crippled apes who collectively have the worst functional skill set in all of FPS gaming.

Post your Devil Daggers progress here after 2 hours of played time, and I'll gladly tell you exactly where your skill set stands in the FPS community.

Fueling the troll, but I don't care.

Getting 300 seconds after 2 hours played would result in 4,907th place on the leaderboards. How is this any good? I've put in some time and effort over the years on the game and I can achieve 500+ seconds fairly consistently (which is only 200-250th place). Its a steep climb after that rank.

So for my question: Which gameshark code did you use to only beat the Dam WR by 4 seconds?  :LOL:

Lmfao it took you years to reach 500 sec? :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: So you need to dump years of your life into a game just to reach a mediocre level of competency? You're just proving my point. Any pro would surpass 500 sec in hours/days, not years.

My challenge is for people who haven't played Devil Daggers before. The 2 hr constraint limits the attempts you have. I.e., if you pick up the game for the first time, play for 2 hrs, and can't reach 300 sec, you'll know you're a complete trash gamer.

LOL DEVIL DAGGERS

They dont fucking exist you noob.

Where the hell in FF9 do you get these? you dont no shit

In a speedrun the best you get is the Orichalcon daggers that you steal from Taharka in the floating castle if you're lucky; but usually you're forced to buy it from Bran Bal (need to pickup and sell a diamond though iirc, havent played in a while).

What are you even on about? Gtfo of here with that weird, cringe, story time role playing bs. FF is a game for children.

This guy is probably close to my skill level in terms of mechanical ability and awareness:

His aim and movement need some work, but he's demonstrating a lot of skill in this video. Let me know when you can pull off a run like this, and then you can come back to my thread.

The irony of it all that we are not meeting under the best circumstances.  This violent videogame turned me into something I shouldn't be like a monster.  Though Flechr and others might find what Orkinman does as impressive it by no means he's the better gamer than L. Spear.  That's my real name aka Happens - Big Tex right now.

Here's what other gaming professionals have to say.

Jason Zimmerman aka MewtwoKing in SSBMelee. "If Final Destination were the only stage in Melee, Marth would be the best character.  He gets weaker on other stages."
L. Spear.  "If Goldeneye 64 were the only game ever created Orkinman could be the best gamer to ever live.  He gets weaker at other games."

This post isn't really intended as a personal attack.  I'm saying there's more out there than shooters.  Take Michael Jordan, Magnus Carlsen, Babe Ruth, or Michelle Kwan.  These people are great at their respective games.  It's the path they've found in life.

Between the two of us, Orkinman, we both know who the better gamer is.  I'm not going up against Tiger Woods in golf any more than you would.  I can't imagine you beating me at Chess or Mike Tyson at boxing.  If Adam Matis isn't up to arm wrestling you I still could and win without cheating.

Everyone has their time and place.  If you only want to be good at shooters then I'm really not interested and I'll wish you well.  I tell my students it's not really a matter of winning or losing it's how you make people feel.

I'm glad we've both proven things though I'm not bending over backwards for a game I shoulnd't be good at.  According to Alka Maass at least.

Over the years doesn't mean 10 hours a day for 3 years.

Also, I dont even own the game. Just because someone claims to have achieved something, shouldn't always be trusted. Show a video of Dam, otherwise you're just another wanna-be-troll.

Bad choice, posting here again.
What you don't know is that in your absence, the community has absolutely MASTERED the AD-18 technique.
Your pathetic Dam 48 has been completely destroyed, along with your ego.

I'll have you know that at the last intercontinental speedrunning championship, I took the edge over C. Hames to win the gold and $750,000 in prize money.

You think you're a professional gamer? HA! Don't make me laugh!
The only thing that I think you play well is the FOOL!

You are some of the most toxic, mean-spirited people I've ever come across. No wonder the "speedrunning community" is relegated to a dark corner of the internet that no one cares about. You're all probably baristas or forklift operators living in studio apartments IRL. The least you could do is show some respect and basic decency to your superior.

You claim to be a "master gamer", and yet I have no doubt in my mind that you would be utterly INCAPABLE of matching my amazing feat of achieving Havana - Recruit 0:39 in the highly competitive game of Silvereye: Alfredo Lamberra. I'd love to see you even ATTEMPT to get anywhere near my levels of mastery in this game. I hold every single world record, and I have no doubt that you will never even hold a single ONE.

Hello actual eliters,

Would someone please be kind enough to explain - Is this guy for real or is this some kind of elaborate trolling from an eliters alt account?
If so is there some in joke that I'm not picking up on here?

If it's a joke forgive me for being slow, I must be out of the loop.

If he is for real, why come here to bait and belittle GE/PD players with achievements in other games which are entirely irrelevant here?

If you're real, mate, it's nice that you're proud of your achievements - good for you but have some modesty! Want to pick up GE or PD? Great but your times will be subject to the same proof standards as everyone else regardless of how good you are in other games. Also please drop the bravado. It's much more of a collaborative vibe here.

The jig is up "Orkinman", if that is your name.  My associate Dann Varken has discovered a video of you playing Goldeneye and we see you for what you really are.  So much for being a "Pro-FPS Gamer".  We see what your skill level really is.  If it weren't for Dann's cosmic brain tier hacking skills and AI construct design, we might not have gotten into your video server.  By the way, you may want to change your password from "professional" and don't even think about using "password" or "1 2 3 4 5".  Now join the rest of the frauds like the "King of Video Games" and the "King of Kong" and realize you'll never reach the level of gaming masters like DarkLight93 and RunnerX.  Have a good day, and actually try for once.


I'm surprised you can reach the buttons with those tiny hands.

If he is good at video games, he is either completely failing to earn our respect (he's an idiot) or he wants people to think he's a troll. The only reasons he would want people to think a troll would be either his ego (he's an egotistical idiot) or his reputation (his friends are egotistical idiots who only have egotistical idiots as friends, therefore he's an egotistical idiot).

This means he's either an idiot or a troll, and by Hanlon's razor we have to assume we found the stupidest person who can type English.

Post by: SammoSammy on May 12, 2020, 08:30:39 am
wtf I just got this message sent to my highschool e-mail from orkinman69@beenz.com

Spoiler
Hi there my young fellow. How are you doing? It appears to me that you are, in fact, kind of displeased with the current situation. What is it, that makes your life hard currently? Is it maybe because of the recent roasting of your jeromes that suddenly happened? I really have to say that this roasting was, without any doubt, the strongest since the Trent Hovis control skip hoax. Do you may have an idea why this waddling of your walters was so powerful? No? Well well well... I can for sure tell you the truth about this important event.
 
It was ME who tricked you into this displeasement. I can hear your brain trying to comprehend how this is even possible. But, and I'm sure about this, you cannot comprehend what happened to you because it is too complex. Even Henrik and Ted were struggling to find the right way in this gigantic and evil maze of trickery. It took me 1000 years to fully write my plan down, and another 1000 to understand it. The complexity is higher than that of a 14-dimensional dodecahedron.

It all starts out with the day of this legendary ruse. The day of rusement was carefully planned and calculated on this exact day. The day where an astronomical constellation appears, that will never occur again in the next 3 googolplex years. A constellation that generates an antimatter black hole. This sort of black hole doesn't suck matter. Antimatter black holes suck the "CEEMI values" out of everyone. But did you see someone feeling bad today? Yes, my little fellow I created a lens that focuses the power of the antimatter black hole directly on you. It took 300 years to create this extremely complex lens and I had to combine the power of Boss and Clemens to create it.

But not enough with the rusement. As I'm not some friendly ruseman. I have planned even more trickery tricks to lead you into this discomfort. When you were mindlessly speedrunning this "GE" I made a post that I was sure will put you in the mood of rage. This post was sprinkled with lies and intentional logical fallacies and a good portion of something you dislike seeing in your surroundings. With my ruseman instincts I already knew you were typing your response to the displeasing content you just saw. At the exact moment of sending your response you have started up the machine of displeasement and "non-CEEMI values". A machine that once started cannot be stoppped. Not by Goose, not by Ace, and not even by Rutzou himself.

While your comment was travelling through the cyberspace you started feeling bad. Something in your brain was screaming but you just didn't know why. It was destiny that you fall for my trickery. With this message you are currently reading I am telling you something you should have thought before you were sending your pathetic comment to me. I am, in fact, A MASTER RUSEMAN GRADE 3. I was part of the ancient circle of master rusemen. I can see on your face, that you already knew this. A ruse this fantastic and gigantic cannot be done by some low grade rusenoob.

Yes you have be RUSEDI by me. There were only one RUSEDI known to mankind until now. Can you imagine how hard it is to do? Only two RUSEDIS were executed in the past... 3... trillion... years! Now you finally know about this unbearable discomfort you started feeling right when you got my response. The response, this message, reveals what has been done. You... yeah YOU... have been rused. You are powerless, you want to scream but you can't. You just sit there in a mix of rage and helplessness. You want to find this guy, this MASTER RUSEMAN GRADE 3, and you want to kill him. But at the exact moment of thinking, you also realise that you will never be able to even come near such a powerful being like me. This ruse has set me into a position higher than Wodahs thus making me a god.

Well well well... you seem even smaller now. Compare your pathetic life to me and you will realise that you are nothing. You think now you might come over this rumbling of your jordans. You think you can bear it, but my devilish plan goes far deeper. Now after you've already been rused to infinity this letter discomforts you to a new level of discomfort. In the moment you are reading what I wrote you realise how pathetic you are. How useless you are. With every single word you read, your very SOUL gets crushed. Your soul is now demolished. God can't take you to heaven, and Satan does not want demolished slaves. Your soul is permanently banished from a real afterlife. Your soul already tried to escape your body. But your soul cannot escape into the eternal spheres thus it will be stuck in a permanent state of dying.

Every day you will suffer thinking of a way to escape this almost deadly RUSEDI, but it is too late. You are RUSED FORVER! Yes, my dear fellow, I know you want to know who is responsible for this. I will tell you my story now.

I don't know where I'm from, but I know I was the first to exist. I was alone but soon a few people followed. We made a circle called THE ELITE COUNCIL. Only real MASTER RUSERS were allowed to join this exquisite circle. We agreed that we will never decide who is the best MASTER RUSEMAN. But after some time I found a way to lead my fellowed comrades into a tricky situation. I claimed that I'm the best MASTER RUSEMAN in the council. It didn't take long 'til everyone's jacobs were rommled. After they found out what exquisite trickery was played on them, they agreed to give the one who caused this discomfort the title of GOD OF RUSE.

Now you finally realise what huge impact this ruse had. You never thought that you will be, in fact, rused by a godness. Somehow you feel honoured. Honoured to get you gustavsons jingled by the god of all MASTER RUSEMEN. The life you know does not exist anymore. You can only return to a diminishing shadow of what you called your life. The rusement was too strong. Not even time itself could recover from the wounds this monumental trickery caused you. I am, for my part, pretty proud of myself.

Even I had my doubts if I could make a contrivance this huge and tricky. But I did it. I managed to created the most thoroughgoing RUSEDI. You have been rused by me, the ONE AND ONLY! Even after 100 years you will still remember this day. The day of THE ruse. The day the GOD OF RUSE personally made a statement to intentionally discomfort YOU. SONGS WILL BE WRITTEN ON THIS MASTERFUL RUSE. AND I HOLD NO REMORSE OR REGRET FOR I AM AND ALWAYS SHALL BE THE GOD OF RUSE

How do we feel about things like this on the whole? It's a bit like time traveling...

I hope we're all in agreement it isn't appropriate for General Chat.

If it was in Free For All instead, are people generally okay with this, or is it a big 'nah' to the whole thing? I feel like a few posts go a little too far even for FFA.

It's good shitposting, definitely should be kept to FFA, but otherwise I appreciate it

wtf I just got this message sent to my highschool e-mail from orkinman69@beenz.com

I cannot believe I just read that entire email. It made no sense but I just couldn't stop.

@Orkinman What is the best time you've been able to achieve on console? It is obvious that the time you posted was performed on an emulator; all of the times here are performed on console.

I'm sure someone of your superior skill and technique could cook something up fairly easily using original hardware, I'm anxious to see what you can do!

Do you think you could achieve Runway Agent 20? I would pay to see that, except I need my money to pay bills and eat food (I have very little left over for myself).

When I read this the other day I first felt Dyna took the bait, but then I felt like maybe I took Dyna's bait.

The mystery grows.

If being the youngest long drive national finalist in golf long driving at the age of 20 on ESPN counts for "skill" you can chalk that up for the good guys - And mods/trolls ESPN is all video proof
