Multiplayer Speedruns are Awesome, and Here's Why

Multiplayer speedruns are absolutely fascinating to observe, adding a plethora of new levels of depth and complexity to already difficult speedgames. In this video, i'll be talking about a few of my favourite multiplayer speedruns, and why they're worth looking into!
00:00 - Intro
01:30 - Hollow Knight

    It does not necessarily conflict with 8th precept. You just need to re-interpret it. "Travel alone" in case of 2-player speedrun just mean, that you should split up, *travel alone* and complete different parts of the progression 😂

    I think there's a lot of untapped potential for multiplayer speedruns in highly non-linear games like HK, as there are so many interesting routing implications. Some folks in the TAS community have been discussing a multi-sync 106% (due to libTAS stability issues with later patches), which wouldn't have the parallel pantheon shenanigans, but has a ton of crazy routing in the overworld, especially when you mix in TAS-only strats like fury Baldur. Labbing the route gets a bit nuts, since any time you optimize a section, it may break the sync with other existing sections and eventually require some rerouting. (: One fun idea: shoptimal Shade Soul pickup with three knights where one picks up shop key, the next immediately buys e-key and the last enters Norman 2, all coordinated.

  • @butterstik
    @butterstik6 ай бұрын

    The strat with pogoing eachothers nails is actually viable with 2 players! (I call it 'we pogo') me and my friends do it all the time and it's better than shade skipping!

    Tbh, I’m not a huge fan of some of the direct interactivity, like pogoing off other slashes, but even without that, the synced item collection has a really cool impact on routing.

    Just fyi, a lot of the other categories also use the co-op mode in some sections to achieve some otherwise impossible jumps. And yep they also do that with their feet. They gotta have those crazy pinkymuscles 😂

    As an Odyssey speedrunner myself, I can say that the 2 Player speedruns (at least of categories like Any%) are really cool, and are just now getting faster than the corresponding 1 Player categories because of the fewer quality of life features in the 2 Player mode. The future is looking strong.
