Well real time is obv the way to go, no arguments needed for it. Almost every other speedruns in other games is counted in real time. But since a handful of players already have played after the originial elite rules, ADD MISSION TIMES TOGETHER, 2 cseperate categories are needed. It's not their fault that their runs suddenly aren't legit anymore, just because it took 8 years to change the rules :P

I think I did actually need to hear some of Clems arguments or I wouldn't have seen the point of real time :P

Yeah I can totally see the point, agent races are obviously also done in real time, it's pretty cool actually.

It's not like anyones really taking away from Henning that his records for mission time are insane.

I like the idea that real time is a continous run where you can't really breath between pauses or missions before you've finished the whole game, this should be fun to see.

Timing runs with the VCR will be a rough estimate though, the more exact time can later on be calculated from the vid, maybe vid timer (might not always be reliable) or if someone can find some easy way to put a clock into the vid?

Agreed with Clemens, I think for the casual viewer it'd be puzzling why someone would wait 10+ seconds of Statue cinema to maybe save 0.2 on a fast game completion.

Real time run

Dam: 0:54 (PAR 54)

Facility: 0:47 (PAR 47)

Runway: 0:23 (PAR 23)

Surface 1: 1:04 (PAR 104)

Bunker 1: 0:20 (PAR 20)

Silo: 1:12 (PAR 112)

Frigate: 0:39 (PAR 35)

Surface 2: 0:55 (PAR 55)

Bunker 2: 0:28 (PAR 27)

Statue: 2:33 (PAR 229)

Archives: 0:17 (PAR 17)

Streets: 1:15 (PAR 115)

Depot: 0:28 (PAR 28)

Train: 1:10 (PAR 110)

Jungle: 0:55 (PAR 0:55)

Control: 4:09 (PAR 405)

Caverns: 1:05 (PAR 104)

Cradle 0:51 (PAR 0:41) Fucking cocksucker decided to fool around again costing me 10 seconds.



Total Mission time: 19:25

Real time: 22:16

5 second improvement! :) Was 24 seconds over PAR (Frigate, B2, Statue, Caverns, Cradle) My ultimate goal here seems to be sub 22:00 in real time, although 24 seconds improved mission times doesn't necesarely equal sub 22:00 real time, since the GE timer is obv different from real time. Guess around 20-24 secs improved total mission time, and i'll take whatever real time it might be.

So what are the rules for timing? Like right when you press start for Dam? Then stopp when cradle fades out I guess?

Illu, from the moment you select your file from the menu, till the ending credits appear.

Real time run:

Dam: 0:54 (PAR 54)

Facility 0:48 (Acceptable) PAR 47

Runway: 0:23 (PAR 23)

Surface 1: 1:04 (PAR 104)

Bunker 1: 0:21 (usually want 20's here, but the ending is so gay, so i'll take 21's too) PAR 20

Silo: 1:11 (good) PAR 111

Frigate 0:37 (Decent) PAR 35

Surface 2: 0:55 (PAR 55)

Bunker 2: 0:31 (Pathetic..) PAR 27

Statue: 2:36 (Again really pathetic, around 2:22 pace to the ending, then i get the worst fr. This was even a new fr spot for me, it was far in the back  :-\) PAR 225

Archives: 0:17 (PAR 17)

Streets: 1:15 (PAR 115)

Depot: 0:29 (Risked it and attempted train shot. Doesn't matter that much for real time anyway, i only lost about .5 here) PAR 28

Train: 1:12 (Got kinda screwed, but couldn't have handled the run much better, just BARELY made the locks) PAR 110

Jungle: 0:55 (PAR 55)

Control: 4:05 (Pretty good) PAR 405

Caverns: 1:04 (PAR 104)

Cradle: 0:41 (Finally :P) PAR 41



Total mission time: 19:18. 7 second improvement. Still a lot of seconds over PAR.

Real time: 22:04. 12 seconds improvement!

Had a really solid Agent speedrun, stuff like frigate 35, train 109, and Statue 223! Then i get control 4:25 because i waited like 23 seconds before A was up. Fuck me.

Agent speedrun, total time: 19:04. Not making vid. Silo, control and caverns was pathetic. Ruined the look of the whole run.

Agent run 23:20

What is weird though is that Marc loses 2:49 to real time compared to what he gets in mission time, but I lose 3:16 which is significantly more especially considering we are talking menus which you press away as fast as you can ofcourse. I also only watched two cinemas, B2 and Cradle, same as Marc and same amount.

Only things where I could clearly see me lose time in real time compared to marc was when I was shooting down on the ground on frigate at the end for few sec (lag) and when I did a pause trick on control to make Nat open the door faster instead of shooting her. I was only inside the pause for 1sec at most (probably more like .3 :P) and I can't see me losing 26 seconds from lag on shooting at the ground on frigate for 3-5 seconds.

Maybe Marc is just that insane at reducing lag... but 27seconds time loss in real time  :-?

Mission time: 20:04 - not too far off my old PR of 19:58 actually

Goldeneye Agent single segment 23:17

On http://speedrunslive.com/ where I won a race against Marc, Goose and Wouter.

The actual time should be a little faster though, I'll check it later, it's possible I might have beaten my old mission time PR of 19:58 too.

Marc said that if I beat him again in an agent speedrun best of 3 he admits I'm better than him at GE speedruns :D

We played on PAL because of Marcs converter thing.

00 Agent Speedrun (Real Time) 46:37


which was part of my


Goldeneye 007 100% Speedrun (Real Time) 1:12:27


Overall a completely decent run.  Quite safe in a lot of parts since I wanted the WR, but only one major error - got raped in the mf room on Bunker 2 00A, alarm went off, had to restart.  Wasted probably around 50 seconds.

Almost died on Control 00A as well and had to get the 2nd BA.

Even though this will surely be improved soon I plan on making a video with commentary to upload to youtube, so that casual viewers will understand what exactly comprises a Goldeneye 007 100% speedrun.


Thanks to OHMSS for suggesting that wicked Caverns strat.  Practiced it for about an hour today and was consistently completing 3:15s.  I think I did a 3:43 in the run.

Sorry to viewers, I messed something up and had no sound :( but I'll fix it for the future :)

100% Run 1:09

Literally first try ever lol.
Decent run except for a few horrible times. Died on B2 00A because the documents picked up but there was no beep omg, so i fucked around in the room trying to get it and got shot like 50 times. Resulted in a 1:11 death. Then I accidently failed Depot SA of all levels because I forgot to blow the screen up, LOL. Accidently selected S1 A instead of SA (got a 1:50 though  ;) ) so I had to pause out. HORRIBLE Aztec SA run of 3:58, glass didnt open and nearly died. Safe Caverns 3:14 or so (which is still ok imo, fuck going for 15x since it just fails all the time)

Felt nice to complete a run but Im sure I'll get it to around 1:05 or 1:04 if I put real work into it

I was thinking my next goal should be sub 1:10, and ultimately I do think sub 1hr is possible

The good in the run : Control 00 4:35, Train 00A was pretty solid I think around 2:35 or 2:40, Arch 00 56 (very low), Silo 00A 149 (realized how horrible this level is cutting cinema right away, lol) I had garbage FRs on both statue runs, my B2 00 completion was 1:10 which is quite sick for a speedrun. Control SA 4:17 with A up for like 4 seconds lol, had like a 408 or 409 pace start normally with glass. Cradle went well both times except trev went to the platform so I got 52 on agent which is pretty shitty. Overall if you take out the B2 death, Depot SA retarded 55 fail and accidently selecting S1 A, and add in selecting missions faster etc, it's probably like a 106 run or something. So then riskier caverns to cut 1.5 minutes, and some lucky Aztec sa run with glass, and its like 1:02 or something. Anything lower would be utter insanity.

B2 00A is an underrated troll level for full game runs.  I guess you saw but last night after the MF room disaster, on my next run I didn't hear the beep for the 2nd safe key.  So I kept shooting around there until I killed everyone and then just went for the safe.

Then on Cavs 00 I didn't see A complete, and you said something in chat, so I paused to make sure it completed.  These kinds of things, as well as selecting the wrong level, only waste like 10 seconds honestly.  Even my MF room fail on B2 00A I timed cost me 43 seconds, which isn't a huge deal.  I probably lost 20+ on Control 00A by getting the 2nd BA.

Lol @ forgetting to shoot screen though, that is cute.

I was thinking I should use the video of a decent run, and upload it to youtube with commentary explaining the basics of GE speedrunning, as well as the various tricks and strats used in the levels.  I think this would help people understand what's going on and help popularize these runs.

Thats a great idea!

And yes actually I think B2 00A is the worst level in a 1 try situation. Thank god it isnt at the end of the run but its in the middle so its still pretty fucking annoying to fail. Also theres a glitch on Jap where (rarely albeit, but its still annoying) sometimes objects dont beep. I think it has to do with picking a gun and item up at roughly the SAME time. I watched the run over a few times and even on full volume I cant hear the beep from the documents in the safe, and I think any seasoned GE player will never make a mistake of not noticing a beep. you can ALWAYS notice these things no matter what. Fucking retarded but what can you do.

And yeah, I was in such a rush I completely forgot about the screen. Actually the entire run in general is a lollfest. I nearly died on several occasions, had the most ridic lucky nade shot ever on caverns in the radio room to save the run from failing. I couldnt believe it when the nade blew up in the radio room, and the barrels didnt blow up. The funny thing was that a scientist got blown up by that troll zmg guard at the start, so I knew if both radio room scientists died the run was 100%  going to fail. So fucking lucky. Then a scientist refused to leave the radio room and i got tilted and just blew him up anyway, not knowing whether it would complete or not. Thank god it did.

Honestly though 100% runs are SO exhausting. Once you get a run going you have to commit all the way to the very end, and some of the levels we have to play for cheats are actually really fucking annoying, like control sa and aztec sa.

Dude Clemens, I'm watching your run now.  You didn't start from a fresh file so this totally can't count. :(

Run here Video 67

Just finished watching Silo... this is the worst fucking run I've ever seen.

LOL B2 DEATH THIS RUN IS SO BAD.  It totally didn't beep though for real so you did get screwed.  1:10 is really good and sick cam shot but yeah death :(

Yeah Archives is underexpected fail zone.  I've had Mishkin die.  Nat can troll you and run away.  And very easily you have have less than 5 DD4 bullets so you can't escape.  In which case if you can't find a kf7 you could actually miss the 1:20 target time lol.

You got really lucky with Xenia on Jungle.  She usually trolls so hard when you run out of AR33 ammo.  Lol @ mom conversation.

Hmm I guess I better do the BA getting strat you use for Control 00A.  I think I have a better strat for mf drone room even.

That Cavs radio guard... if he runs to the front of the glass like in that location, you're safe with the nades.  UNLESS he throws it and it bounces off the glass backwards into the room.

Woah nice Jaws lure to that spot.  Must save 20 seconds.

lol @ having to start from a fresh file. The guy from SDA, Mike, told me thats perfectly fine. As long as you finish the game it really makes no difference. I dont see the point in spending extra time to have a fresh file if the playing settings are exactly the same.

Well you're not really getting the cheats if you've already gotten the cheats.  So the 100% beat everything and get all the cheats kinda loses meaning.

Also the guys at SDA pretty much have no idea what they're talking about.  This is known in the Mario & Zelda speedrunning communities.  SDA make rules that are very general but usually don't adhere to game specific details.

For instance, if you were to hit the glass strat in a 00A run, then all future 00A runs would have to hit that, because that strat is fastest.  And even if someone beat that 00A time, if they didn't use the glass strat, SDA would not want the run...  That's just how SDA operates.

Basically SDA is losing credibility and becoming a lot more like Twin Galaxies.  All they care about are good runs with superb video quality and the fastest strats.  They don't really care about faster times with worse strats and lower quality video.  They don't care about who is fastest, nor do they care about proper game dynamics.

So taking anything people from SDA say for gold is not good.  The elite is the utmost authority on GE speedrunning.  The rules should be what we say.

I agree with Goose.

This matter was brought up earlier while Henning went for his current speedrun records. It's especially crucial now on 100% runs since you don't really obtain all the cheats by using an already existing file.

I was looking forward to watch Clem's run but got really put off when I realized he didn't start from a fresh file.

Nice job on 1:09 Dave, though judging by your descriptions of the run, it can easily be improved. In the future, just start from a fresh file and everyone will be happy  :)

Yeah and sure erasing your file and redoing the settings is annoying.  But us GEers have it easy.  That all takes about 30 seconds.  SM64 takes about 2 minutes.  OOT about 5 min.  Imagine if you speedran Majora's Mask and your run doesn't really start until after 20 minutes of cutscenes and set play.

Not to mention if you fail Dam you don't need to make any changes at all!  We have it so easy.  We truly have to be the laziest group of speedrunners around.

00 Agent 45:39 real time

100% 1:12:06 real time


This run felt a lot worse than my previous run.  Used some better strats but some fail strats.  Lol there's no point getting into it here.  You can watch it on theelitegaming channel I guess.

yeah that vid is the run

Just had the biggest troll ever. Some ridic legendary GE 100% speedrun to Aztec. Train 2:34, Jungle 1:15, Bunker 2 1:14, Statue 2:29 or 2:30, Silo 1:42. So I get to Aztec, everything is going fine. Then I get to the big room and the whole level fucking blows up. Got shot by the drone, laser guards behind crates went LTK and shot me like 5 times, guard by jaws rolls and then jaws ends up shooting me once or twice. So I am down to 0 bars at the glass. I decide to risk it and time it so the guards arent shooting and pray I make it out alive. I get in, insert the data and it is looking up. Then, just as I approach the MF, literally one tenth from safety and clutching what would very likely be an epic 100% untied (and yes I used a fresh file and legit rules etc ) the screen goes bloody, obscenities fly and my hopes of getting the epic untied go down the drain. Thanks GE, I love you so much you fucking whore.

That really sucks. It's always interesting to watch full runs but it's hard to see people screw up on the hard levels. I mean, you go through a giant grueling run and your run just takes a 180 turn because of one level. In your case it was worse, you were doing fantastic and then it was all over on Aztec. I do hope you get back at it soon and you break the world record. I would certainly watch it.
Also don't forget to include your mother in your run.

Also the guys at SDA pretty much have no idea what they're talking about.  This is known in the Mario & Zelda speedrunning communities.  SDA make rules that are very general but usually don't adhere to game specific details.

Completely untrue since they refer directly to those communities for defining the rules. For OoT the community decided you had to start from a new file and SDA agreed.

Quote
For instance, if you were to hit the glass strat in a 00A run, then all future 00A runs would have to hit that, because that strat is fastest.  And even if someone beat that 00A time, if they didn't use the glass strat, SDA would not want the run...  That's just how SDA operates.

Again wrong, SDA always accepts improvements, even if faster strats can be implemented and has done so very recently (e.g. Donkey Kong Country).

Quote
The elite is the utmost authority on GE speedrunning.  The rules should be what we say.

SDA wouldn't argue with that, which is why you would be able to define the rules as a community. As for quality of videos, it's not too much to ask in this day and age. The only reason GE Speedruns aren't on SDA is because unfortunately none of you bother to submit. Unless the quality was really bad the videos would probably be allowed (again a run was put up recently which wasn't strictly good enough quality).

Whatever though, you've made your mind up, just don't go posting stuff which is simply not true.

Okay

Firstly, I was semi-trolling and exaggerating in that post because sometimes it's the only way you can get Clemens to listen.  Look at his reaction.  He's pissed that we tell him you have to start from a new file... but then 2 hours later we're in a twitch chat and he's saying that he was just being lazy and all his future attempts will be from a clean file.  It's just how you have to deal with Clemens.

Secondly, I did believe that "fastest strats" thing was true.  I heard it spoken about in an old MM vid Jiano had uploaded to SDA where he hits the Ruto Great Bay cutscene skip which is a frame perfect trick but only saves 30 sec.  The commentators were saying that since he hit that trick, all future runs need to hit it as well otherwise they won't be allowed on SDA.  I see there is a faster run up now and I don't know if it hits that trick, but ok obviously I was wrong or misinterpreted something.  My bad.

Thirdly, I wasn't aware that SDA referred to other communities for rulings on their games.  I've just heard complaints from the Zelda communities about SDA's rules being too restrictive and irrelevant so I guess they're just bitching for silly reasons.

Lastly, I won't start tearing SDA apart here, but there are obviously a lot of issues there with contemporariness.  There is a big process involved in submitting, and in the world of speedrunning, records are broken every day.  One reason people don't submit is because they feel they're just going to improve their WR soon, or it will be broken soon.  Also, saying "no one submits" is true, but it's on the onus of the world record holder to submit and no one else.  Clemens holds the 00A run WR.  If he doesn't make a good quality render of that video and submit it... then what?  Henning submits his world #2 time and pretends it's the WR for SDA?  And if Henning doesn't submit, then what?  I submit my world #3 time?  Where does it end?  When you KNOW that someone else has a faster WR, you're not going to submit your time, even if you're the only one with a video in acceptable quality.  As a result we get ancient bullshit on SDA like Wouter's 47 minute 00A run, Pokey's 1:16 OOT run and Sig's 1:48 120 star run.

Anyways, I'm sorry for posting stuff that wasn't true.  Mostly I'm just surprised there are lurkers from SDA watching these boards and who knows who else is lurking from where.  It's kinda cool since we usually think no one cares about GE.  So hello and welcome :)

It's all Speedrunning to me and GE is one of the most optimised and played games. There are plenty of people who follow GE on here since there're a load of impressive runs. I do agree that SDA needs to get with the times a bit now that everyone is streaming runs and records are being broken all the time; so a 6 month period between completion and posting simply isn't good enough. However from your point of view, getting runs on there is a way of bringing in more runners, even if by the time they get posted some will have been beaten already. At least for the foreseeable future though it seems there will be separate communities for the more popular games (GE, SM64 & Zelda).

In terms of rules as long as you go straight to the mods and ignore a lot of the old fashioned community then big communities like this will get what they want.

00 Agent Real Time 44:51

which was part of my

100% Real Time 1:10:21


All in all this was an extremely solid run.  No major errors, but ended with Depot SA and Jungle A (before Cradle A) which were both pretty slow.  I got AMAZING luck on Control 00A... I missed the mine toss into mf room so I was short a mine.  I knew I needed a grenade and I FUCKING GOT IT.  There is definitely room for improvement and I'll probably try to improve in the future; but all in all I'm quite happy with this.

I plan on uploading this to youtube with commentary explaining GE speedrunning so hopefully that's a big hit too.


Oh yeah, I peaked at 86! viewers and went from 38 to 70 followers.  And this was from 2-5am ET! Having your stream on SRL is huge.  And everyone in the chat was talking about how cool it is that people are finally speedrunning Goldeneye.  So yeah :)

Damn it. I missed it live because my elder brother had to borrow the laptop for some project. Congratulations on the fast time and on having so many viewers watching you! Looks like changing the route was a great decision but you need to update the route on your channel.

GJ :)

If you're short one mine on Control, you can blow up the drone room MF by shooting the two surrounding tables. The last hits have to be close to the MF. You can see this nice trick in DLTK vids.

Wow thanks for that mf strat OHMSS.  Tested it out a little.  That could be a run saver in the future.

I've been testing Karl's Cavs 00 strat and it seems very consistent for a 2:50-3:10 time, which is an improvement on the strat I've been using's 3:10-3:45 time so I might be able to cut a little more time off over the next few days.
