AstroNight Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) Hello All, If you have heard of speedrunning then good if not then check out www.speedrunslive.com and watch some livestreams. Ive had the idea of trying to speed run this game by starting at Mercury and the going throught all planets to beat the boss. (doing the 1st level unlocked on that planet and following the tree to the boss) How long do you think you could do it in? I think it could be done in under 2hrs Solo. Thoughts?!?!

LoRDxDeMoN Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I think it could be done in under 2hrs Solo. Absolutely not. Possibly around 5 hours or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kroul Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 2 hours? for every single planet or just mercury? Just mercury yeah. Every single planet in two hours? Hell to the no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kantazo Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 You cannot do it, because certain planets unlock when you get the proper frame level, so if you are level 2 you will have most of the maps locked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroNight Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 Every Single Planet Available in 7.7.4 I think 2hrs could be possible if not then 4hrs at most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanPaul7 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 If starting off new, it's probably going to take at least 10 hours since you will be needing mods and things as you progress further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no restrictions for doing this kind of speed run, just beat it as fast as possible, im gonna try it and will livestream myself beating the levels however i need my level 30 volt again :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kantazo Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 So you are not talking how to beat the game starting as a brand new player, but beating the game as a level 30? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTenthDoc Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) If your frame is maxed and you have a maxed weapon you can probably do it in hours, but that's kind of like speedrunning Chrono Trigger on New Game +.

Correct, you dont have to be any levels so long as you can beat it as fast as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinFoilMkIV Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I don't think you could truly have an official grade speed run time for this game as there is too much variation in clear time solely based on the random procedural level generation. Even if there were no enemies and it was just a race to the end, two perfect runs could come out to two very different times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanPaul7 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Then yes it could be done in under 2 hours for sure. Loki with sprint maxed, invisibility maxed and power duration (if it still exists, barely played since update 6). Just invisible run it, simples :) its not aimed at new players or low levels, mainly people who are veterans at the game and know what to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanPaul7 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Actually come to think of it, 2 hours is still probably impossible since you will be spending a fair amount of time on load screens and lobby countdowns overall... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just invisible run it, simples :) Then you run into kill-all missions, mobile defense missions, two reactors missions, two hostages missions, and 5 waves of endless defense missions.

Kill all missions would be a breeze with invis loki... but yeah I guess the defence missions would be the most problematic... Gonna have to say it would take at least 5 hours to complete all.

I agree with this point but there is always going to be lots of RNG in the games these days, the perfect run would have to worked at for along time to get it the best it possbily could, just like other games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
