Speedruns!

[Spleen]

Step right up, step right up! If it's worth doing, it's worth doing fast - I'm sure in your expansive collections of postgame screenshots there's some with impressive times

Whether it's a 5-minute victory on Goatperson Purist VT VGT or 10 on Doubledoom because you got pitted against SMM/Frank, anything's good!

Definitely post here, but because things could get pretty disorganised here, I procured a spot on Speedrun.com as a possible leaderboard; I'll only be able to keep on top of the fastest times here.
If you want to get anything on Speedrun.com, though, you have to go through it's system:
(free account needed - can submit at http://www.speedrun.com/Desktop_Dungeon ... s_Hold#Any with either a video link, or postgame screenshot in the same slot)
times can be viewed from there at http://www.speedrun.com/Desktop_Dungeon ... ual_levels

The cool thing about doing this is that it can list and compare the times with all the race/class combinations, so submit already, wouldya? We could see the best times and strategies with every combination!

I've done Any% too (because nobody else is crazy enough to), in 2:05:18: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkCcpF2EV8A

I was thinking that Regular/Purist/Vicious Token would all be counted separately because of how much each affects gameplay - anybody have thoughts on this?
I was also thinking that a circuit-like thing of all the Normal, Hard, or Vicious dungeons could also be a cool thing because that could mitigate the luck factor - again, any thoughts, anybody?

[Lynzkar]

Could probary have gone faster, 2:03 in Eastern Tundra


Nevermind i did it faster. 1:43


Sick run in Hobbler's Hold, Unstoppable & under 10 minutes! (9:41) [SPOILERS] ((0:46))

(Turns out hobbler's hold was my last (non VGT) dungeon left with thief, so all dungeons ('cept VGT) finished with theif now)

[Spleen]

That was a... shockingly fast reply. I like it!
I've found Tikki Tooki Orc Rogue very fast for the single-boss dungeons because health doesn't matter when ya can't get hit!

[Lynzkar]

Gotta speedreply in the speedrun thread you know, I'll update my post above if I decided to do some more fast runs, I can't record them unforturnatley, so you will just have to take my word for it.

[Spleen]

Oh, yeah, sure - I hadn't even considered how easily screenshots could be doctored. But as long as nobody's sending out 3-second wins I think it's all fair game

Also, I highly recommend FFSplit for easy video capture - I could run it and most intensive games with just a Nvidia GeForce GT 640 on Win7; it works well on pretty much any system.

[dislekcia]

This is the coolest thread. Also, Spleen, you sound awesome

[Spleen]

Hey, y'know... I am awesome

So, Lynzkar, you want me to clock that 9:41, right? I should just close the thread right now, I mean, nobody could ever get better than that!

Edit: Oh man I just had the best Hobbler's Hold run you guys won't believe it

[Darvin]

Some pretty competitive times right out of the gate. Nicely done.

[Tinker]

Funny how the only thread the dev likes is the one I'm never gonna post in... (<= except, sneak in a post like this...)
