Title: I suddenly achieved runway agent 0:22 this morning, not a wr but damn close
Post by: Captain Thorn on October 09, 2020, 07:00:42 am

Achieved by having 0 strafe changes, 4 grenade boost, and a damage boost from the auto turret. For some background since my account is literally minutes old, I got into playing goldeneye 2 months ago but ive been watching speedrun content on this game for years but I never have and still dont have an n64. I use the 1964 emulator on pc, those n64 controls are too funky for me. I know thats probably not allowed but maybe theres a separate category for the goldeneye PC emulator? Idk, anyway I do have a long speedrunning history in other games, mainly the punch out series, where I am one of the worlds best players in the blindfolded and speed categories and have tied many world records and "Turk Times" (If u guys even know what those are lol). Im mentioning this so that this record doesnt seem like its coming from literally nowhere.

the 1964 (60 fps) leaderboards are on Speedrun.com.

Good luck getting some sweet console times. I've seen some players come out of nowhere and become incredible... maybe it's gonna be you :)

Congrats on 22! That fact that you got your first 22 with just 5 boosts indicates that you profited quite a bit from the extra smoothness of 60fps emulation. A cool achievement nevertheless.

I share a similar fate, having been the second person to get Runway SA 23 as non-WR. Also the first non-WR Chicago 15 (and oddly the only person to get the time between Zezinho in Feb'11 and Mouser in July'14; /rant). Close but no cigar.

"Suck it Matt!" ....you're referring to? ;)

Clemens rose up quick too, I remember him posting on gamefaqs grinding for depot 26....not long after he came to the-elite getting dozens of the easier WR's and some untieds. Before you know it he becomes the champion.

Back on topic; runway 22 is still great on emu. Welcome to the elite. Enjoy the competition!
