Three friends and I did a 4-player 4x1-CC D&D Shadow over Mystara once. That's probably the greatest achievement any of us ever did on an actual arcade game.

No deaths including no loading from continues, etc? 5000ft Mr. Driller no-death clears a few times. Megaman 2. Maybe Megaman 3? Metroid. I'm sure there's a bunch of other games that allowed farming up HP before progressing.

The standard NES platformers. Ninja Gaiden 1-3, Castlevania 1 and 3, Metroid, Megaman 1-6, Mario 1-3 (but not Mario 2J, "Lost Levels"), Contra, Zelda 1 and 2.

Same with your standard assortment of SNES platformers that are appropriate to 1CC. On other platforms, Rondo of Blood, SotN (lol), every Contra game, etc.

After a few attempts, I can also 1CC most shmups of standard difficulty. I've spent way too much time playing Cave and Touhou, so "normal" shmups aren't so bad (can 1CC first loop Dai Oujou, but not second loop).

Absolute unreal cope. During my childhood in the late 80s / early 90s, many of my friends were just shit at games. Guess some people stay that way. If you play platformers or shmups regularly, you begin to realize that very few are just "too hard," it's that most gamers will either (i) have shit execution or (ii) repeat the same mistakes over and over without thinking or improving.

If you were having fun, you wouldn't need to "save time". Playing the game normally, from the beginning, should be fun. That's why they don't make the first level too easy in arcade games, and why there is often optional ways to master it e.g. scoring opportunities for your runs.

The thread seems split between people who think 1CCing games is some real achievement that you need to do, practice and save time on, vs people who realise game worlds aren't real and the whole point is to have fun the whole time whether 1CCing or leaving games unfinished (because there are so many great ones to try out).

Literally the opposite. In a 1cc, you have to get "just good enough" at every part of the game so you can clear the game without expending too many resources, and you can be inconsistent as fuck at so many parts in the game and still kusoclear. Meanwhile every tiny little mistake in a speedrun is punished with a higher time and perfect consistency is required.

People shit out 1ccs the day a game comes out, while day 1 speedruns are quickly obsoleted.

He meant 1CCs are playing and completing the game as designed (at least arcade) while speedrunning is a more abstract goal of getting to the end as fast as possible, which can often be the opposite or skipping it completely.

1CCs are still about the video and gaming entertainment experience while speedrunning ends up more about exploiting code to reach the desired end state. It's almost like coding or testing, so no surprise it is associated with a related, infamous demographic.

>> No.8888252

>>8888204
>exploiting code to reach the desired end state
This is what all video games are.

Anyway, if a glitch exists that lets you warp to the end, be invincible, or whatever else, and you DON'T use it for your 1cc, you are willingly making things more difficult for yourself, or at least playing a separate category. A 1cc of Super Mario Bros. where you use the infinite 1-up trick to get max lives and then use every warp possible is still a 1cc, and is just as much of one as a warpless run without the trick. Speedrun categories for both exist as well and runs always 1cc because not 1ccing would be a time loss.

Also, did you know that lots of arcade games have separate 1cc categories on their speedrun leaderboards that see plenty of play? They aren't treated as the end-all-be-all because the goal is speed, but it's not like 1ccing is remotely out of a speedrunner's reach.

Bro, my post says I was a child in the late 80s and early 90s. We didn't have emulators then. This was on original hardware.

I'm telling you, there are very few NES games with difficult "execution." However, there are many that are tricky, in the sense that you need to pay attention and learn from your mistakes.

Most of my friends who were shit would load up a game like Ninja Gaiden, and keep dying to the same bird over and over and over. I'd watch them play, and every time they'd do the exact same thing. You just need to pay attention, think, realize why you died, and do better next time.

Let's not get carried away.

Things like (i) built-in cheat codes (Konami code), (ii) built-in warps, and (iii) exploiting major glitches are not playing the game the typical way.

It's funny you mention speedruns, because almost every game with warps and major glitches have "warpless glitchless" categories. Like, SMB1 has an "any%" category and a "warpless 100%" category.

I hate to be "that guy," but I say this in total sincerity. If you've only completed a game with warps or codes, you didn't beat it. On subsequent playthroughs, sure, you can use warps to save time or practice. But don't pretend like you completed a game if you used warps and built-in codes.

>> No.8888645

How are they mutually exclusive? A speedrun is going to be also a 1CC most of the time, so it would be both mastering it and bypassing it.

That's why there's different categories, dumbfuck. Yes, that's true of "glitched any%" runs. It is not the case for "glitchless 100%" runs.

>every game with warps and major glitches have (sic) "warpless glitchless" categories
Yes, I mentioned this in my post. Thank you for bringing to my attention my own point. Don't know what I'd do without you.

>If you've only completed a game with warps or codes, you didn't beat it.
This wasn't my main point, but whatever, I'll humor you.

A warpless, glitchless 1cc of SMB1 is NOWHERE NEAR the same level of skill as a warpless, glitchless speedrun SMB1. Two runs played under the same conditions. Likewise, a 1cc of SMB1 that uses warps and glitches is NOWHERE NEAR the same level of skill as a speedrun that uses warps and glitches. If you think a glitched speedrun is less impressive than a glitchless 1cc, fine, but compare your 1cc to a glitchless speedrun if you want to be fair.

In other words, if you consider a 1cc to be praiseworthy or noteworthy, while also considering a speedrun of the same game under the same conditions as something worth mocking (as most of this board does), the only thing worth mocking is you. And remember, any good speedrun will likely be a 1cc for reasons I hopefully shouldn't have to repeat. (Hell, even if it /isn't/ a 1cc, it's still way more impressive if it hits a good time.)

Next time, please attempt to read the posts you reply to instead of skimming over them and assuming what they say.

How is it not "mastering" a game?

This is a Nigthmare speedrun of a level from Final Doom:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvMk1VOfWEI
Nigthmare is a bullshit difficulty that's only good for extreme speedrunning, monsters resurrect periodically, also being much more aggressive and sometimes much faster, no official levels are designed with this difficulty in mind so there's no balance for it, a level being beatable on this difficulty can be a complete crapshoot.
This level was the last of the official Doom levels to be beaten on Nightmare difficulty, and for many years it was thought to not be realistically possible to achieve at all, but one day this guy did it, and since then, only a few more people have.

You can't rote memorize any of this, you simply have to be extremely good at the game and plan out a viable path, then try until you can do it.

Yeah, I don't want to be a dick about this. That guy 1CC'd Ikaruga (as have I), and he's proud of his accomplishment. It's a 1CC. Nice, bro.

That said, Ikaruga is definitely considered on the extreme end of "easy" shmups if you're going for 1CC completion. If you're playing for score, then it becomes more of a puzzle game (which I don't personally enjoy).

The PC Engine, Saturn, and Dreamcast have a great library of shmups. Start with Mars Matrix or something. I wouldn't call Ikaruga trash, but it is overrated. It's a very simple game to 1CC, and a very frustrating puzzle to get a high score.

I guess to be more specific, I 1cc’d Ikaruga on hard and the guy in that video is playing normal or some easier difficulty. It might also be the case he’s playing with more than the standard 3 lives. The change in difficulty was substantial when I chose to 1cc Ikaruga with the default 3 lives on hard as opposed to normal. It’s probably the case that there are other harder shmups to 1cc, but the difficulty of doing this for Ikaruga was an extreme challenge for me, that again, took weeks of work. If Ikaruga is considered simple then I wonder what would be considered complex, because some of the later parts of Ikaruga took a lot of specific practice that I’m not sure I would see in other shmups.

Also I don’t really give a shit if Ikaruga is perceived as overrated or whatever. It’s a Treasure game and I like the stuff they make and doing the work of grinding for 1cc for other shmups just didn’t appeal to me as much. Ikaruga is just a really great piece software to me and I don’t really care about people’s perceptions of what’s the most hipster shmup to 1cc. I don’t really heavily devote my life to shmups, it was kind of a one-off thing for me.

This video you posted reminded me why the shmup community is the dumbest community of wizard hipsters who are not content with anything popular. His criticisms are retarded and strongly read like he dislikes it for being popular. It’s not a perfect game by any stretch, but holy shit this community is a terrible group of faux hipster elitists. They’re somehow like the FGC for extremely niche arcade shooters that tiny groups of people care about, while also not skilled enough to play an actual fighting game or some other esport.

True. There was also another time I was watching a guy play Tekken Tag and the bell for the cinema rang, so he had to go and told me to keep playing. He could have lost on purpose instead.
I would find that arcades had credits left too sometimes, perhaps because the previous player didn't notice, so I would jump in and play. Happened mostly on WRC, for some reason.

Everyone has their own reason for making fun of speedtrooners. It really depends on the game but you can really tell which speedruns are practiced by relatively sane people who do it as a hobby, versus mindnumbingly repetitive, ultra specific and pointless speedrun categories that are clearly a comfort blanket for people to cope with serious issues in real life.

Just a reminder to all of the people here who don't seem to understand the most basic part about 1CC: It means ONE credit clear. If you've ever game over'd a game you can never claim a 1CC. If you practice, savestate, credit feed, or look up guides you have cheated and you have not 1CC'd the game. Just understand this before making claims about what you think you've 1CC'd.

Because /vr/ has a population of classic arcade fans who are increasingly drowned out by the rule changes due to the "sliding scale" definition of what games are allowed to be discussed here. And I think they tend to get really bitter and resentful because speedrunners get lots of attention playing popular mainstream games from every era while 1cc is effectively limited to a handful of arcade genres, many of which have been niche genres for a long time.

Perhaps more relevantly, I think the 1cc topic tends to come up when mouthy zoomers try to shit talk older games they don't understand. The crowd of sweaty autists here will often retort with "post your 1cc" as challenge. IOW if you can't 1cc the game your criticism is probably worthless and ignorant.

Because otherwise yeah, in many cases a speedrun is just a further-optimized 1cc:

I think it's just that speedrunners basically have to use shared knowledge and speedrun strats and community found glitches and have to practice a specific highly tailored route. It just sucks the fun out of a game and makes it like down to a science.

Whereas someone going for 1CCs tends to have a much larger breadth, practices mostly on their own or may combine strategies from other top players, and are just generally skilled gamers. They just have general mastery and survival strategies that other players wanting to get good at the game can learn from.

I personally don't like speedrunning because you basically just copy the world record method down to a tee and then try to optimize it as much as humanly possible doing the exact same thing every single time, or in some rare case using a new/risky time saving strategy. There's not really much enjoyment or appreciation of the game there imo

I don't see how that's all that different, those things aren't trivial to do, if you're not good at a game and not learning how to play it and what works, then you're not going to set or match any speed records, and many of the tricks and glitches common in speedrunning have to be learned and practiced, particularly if you want to do them fast and the right way.

This isn't always fun to look at, and I agree, but that's why there's categories for glitchless, categories for different kinds of goals and challenges, etc. It's impressive in a way that someone can actually learn to execute arbitrary code to skip to the end in Ocarina Of Time and thus get a time of a few minutes, but it's also not very interesting or exciting to see, and why I prefer only looking at runs where the player has to actually fight, maneuver, etc, and actually put their skills of playing the actual game on display, such as the one linked in: >>8888896

>There's not really much enjoyment or appreciation of the game there imo
That gets to be subjective thing. I think most of the best speedrunners get where they are because they're really good at the game, and they got good by playing it a lot, analyzing and loving it. It's a form of obsession, so it wouldn't be interesting to people who don't have their own obsession with the games in question.

I speedrun super ghouls n ghosts with zero intention to get the WR but rather to get a time I think is decent and because going fast is more fun in that game, also the strats are interesting and fun to pull off. Point is don't compare a mere survival 1cc to speedrunning for a Wolrd r cord, not fair, it's more like speedrunning for a time that is around average or just not total shit.
