    It is kind of funny to see "world record speed run" then right when the vid starts, you just see this sorcerer calmly walking around.

    you're allowed to use save states. He just saves right before he enters a level. When he enters the level and the door isn't right next to him, he reloads the save and enters the level again.

    So he just spliced together the best possible odds for random level generation and random item drops (the staff he dupes, the ring he finds and the helm that makes him invincible due to the negative hp glitch.)

    Ohh thank God. I honestly thought I was the only one who likes D2 a hell of a lot better. D1 is kind of like the first time you see your future wife, you like her a lot and all. D2 you fall in love and get engaged. D3 You get married and she puts on 100 lbs. Sorry if anyone disagrees... Just how I feel.

  • @Justanotherconsumer

    It's a segmented run, so the "stairs" thing is just "save scum until you get what you want."

  • @PianoXfan1
    @PianoXfan1 10 років тому +645

    I played this game for many years and I've never seen all stairs like that. You'll understand my doubt of the legitimacy of this record.
    Edit: Never mind, I didn't know it was reloaded 50 zillion times.

  • @Crysalim
    @Crysalim 12 років тому +105

    I am not a fan of segmented speed runs at all. That is what this is; the runner basically replayed several segments many, many times, waiting for optimal stairs, drops, and monster rolls. Each segment usually starts at a loading screen and ends right before the next.
    This makes it into a psuedo-TAS (tool assisted run), yet Speed Demos Archive still allows it. In short, this is nothing more than luck manipulation, and is nowhere near possible in real time.

  • @vanishy0urself
    @vanishy0urself 14 років тому +3

    As for the "teleport to end" thing, that's when luck manipulation stops, and teleport makes short shrift of all levels due to a bug. If you enter a level, hold your cursor at the (for example) "down to level 11" stairway and then cast teleport during the loading screen, it will remember that teleport as pointed to the ending stairway. So when you enter level 11, it will cast teleport and automatically send you to level 12.

    @ShiningforceHero
    It's called a brute force method where he rerolls Diablo's RNG seed billions of times before actually creating the game. This is why every stairway is right beside the next, Naj's Puzzler (his teleport stick) just *happens* to drop at the earliest point possible, and other hilarities. Reverse-engineering the RNG enables you to create a game instance that does whatever you want it to do.

    Bugs may remove the challenge from a simple playthrough, but pretty much all decently challenging games are VERY HARD to speedrun. The glitches are there to lower the time, not to make it easier. Just try duping at the insane speed groobo does. You will fail, over and over.
    About imagery "cut out" -- well, this is called save/load. "27 segments appended to one file" so this required 27 saves.

    I agree with you! I was visiting my cousins back in 1996 just after the game was launched and went to buy the game the next day. One of my all time favorites and had two friends we used to play together with modem connections lol. Now looking back the game lacks running and variety of items and what not, but it never bothered me back then. It was best game ever. (still is)

  • @vanishy0urself
    @vanishy0urself 14 років тому +1

    Now, some of you might question the reason why SDA rules (and _any_ speedrun rules, for that matter) allow glitches, game breaking bugs, (sometimes) luck manipulation, and what not. Well, that's because they're SPEEDRUNS. Not playthroughs. Speedruns. They're different as night and day.
    A bug may make PLAYING TO WIN easy. But groobo is PLAYING FOR SPEED.

  • @vanishy0urself
    @vanishy0urself 14 років тому +3

    That's also luck manipulation. The damage you/enemies receive is "from X to XX" and the exact number is "random". You can manipulate the damage you or enemies receive, so that you receive minimum damage, while enemies receive maximum damage in the possible damage ranges.
    So, the only edgy thing groobo does is the negative health glitch because it's FIXED on 1.07 which means he played an earlier version. According to the SDA rules, it's fine.

    Diablo II is just bigger and more brighter! The third one is just cartoony!

    @vanishy0urself 14 років тому +3

    If you save during a cutscene, an animation, or a speech said by an NPC, then when you load, the end of the cutscene/animation/speech is not going to be there. Since the 27 segments were all appended to one file, the save/load was cut out -- and rightfully so, due to the way SDA times. The loading screens for levels are still there, but apparently cut from timing. (otherwise, 3:12 is a few seconds too short)

  • @xZalex90
    @xZalex90  15 років тому +8

    All levels are randomized. So if you start a new game, the levels won't be like the last time.
    --> It's possible that the next entrance is right next to you, but its also possible that you have to run xx miles until you've found it.

  • @fo0liner1985

I haven't even beaten hell Baal on 2 different characters in D2 yet, but I have beaten the entire D1 about 100+ times on each character, without using any speedrun methods, and killing every single monster in the game.
    In fact, I just beat it with a Rogue again today, and got to level 14 w/ Sorcerer. Plan on playing some more after my midterms later this week.

    The only "edgy" thing he does is using the negative health glitch at the end. I mean, it was fixed in 1.07 which means he specifically searched for an earlier version. Some websites allow such trickery, some do not. SDA allows it, and groobo was playing under SDA rules here.
