Mynoduesp Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Hello fellow skylords, since GoL got changed here's how the map was beaten as fast as possible - without an explination. 🙂 The document shows different timings for player-inputs for 4player to 1player speedruns for the map before the changes in Patch #400031 - 18 December 2021. Here's also the Google docs link. There won't be an explination. I'm just sharing it for the sake of sharing. Cheers, Myno GoL_Timemap.xlsx Cocofang and Kapo like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kapo Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 I'm baffled. Of course I knew that there is some amount of theorycrafting and planning involved in doing a _real_ speedrun, but the amount of detail is far beyond then what I expected.

Cocofang Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 With such precise timings and strict procedure, I assume the effect of randomness is minimized if not eliminated altogether. If such a speedrunning script leads to a reproducible course of events, wouldn't it be possible to automate it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mynoduesp Posted December 25, 2021 Author Share Posted December 25, 2021 @Cocofang This speedrun was 95% execution and 5% "luck". Of course it would be automatable with hotkey scripts, but besides being TOS it's a pain to sync to perfection. @Kapo This is just one (more precisely my) way of optimising. As a run gets shorter (and thus less random and more optimised), details gain on importance. That's why this is very detailed to every point of energy. There are more experinced player in the community which theorycraft and optimise runs on the fly. So don't expect every strategy has this much of a detailed plan to execute. 😄 Kapo likes this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanky Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 the alltime by myself (6.25 time) will be uploadet to Youtube as soon Lebovin have the time to make the video. @kapo i am one of the "on the fly" optimiser. Means Lerning by doing and optimize at the time i run. If i got a new idea to optimize, it is many Trys and many restarts until i can see in the replay if its worth or not. For this i many only writh down some markstamps of time to see if somfing gets faster or not. On 12/24/2021 at 9:26 PM, Kapo said: I'm baffled.

wanky Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Video online now.   Like i already said before, this run where done just by playing and keep redtsrting until finetuning has endet.  Even if this tactic is not possible anymore 😕  /wanky Kapo, Metagross31 and Mynoduesp like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
