Refunct World Record
Hello everyone it’s Bescape, and welcometo the Top 10 Animal Trolls in Speedrunning. So when I was researching clips for this video,it became apparent that very few of them exist.
Refunct Any% in 2:42.14 (Current World Record) youtu.be/1GcRuY. World Record. Save hide report. 100% Upvoted. Log in or sign up to leave a comment log in sign up. No comments yet. Be the first to share what you think! More posts from the speedrun community.
The clips include various pets in which theyeither could have potentially ruined or did completely ruin a speedrun, to them just havingfun in front of the camera. As for the narration of this video, it’sgoing to be very limited because most of the clips explain themselves.
However, I would highly recommend watchingthis video to the end, because these are some top-tier trolls, and in addition, you willnot want to miss this video’s honorable mention. As always, these clips are in no particularorder, and this list isn’t limited to what’s featured. Anyways let’s get started, and I hope youall enjoy. First on the list is The Legend of Zelda:Majora’s Mask, featuring EnNopp112’s cat.
What’s amazing about this clip is that EnNoppwas able to get a 42 minute run in Any% before Moon Warp was even discovered, all thanksto cat strats. Next up is Emptyeye’s run of Dragon Warrior. Now although Mario the Cat doesn’t necessarilyruin the run, Emptyeye simply continued the run by looking over him. Third on the list is well another runof Majora’s Mask.
Clearly there’s a recipe for disaster withowning an animal and being a Majora’s Mask runner. Anyways PopeSquidward falls victim to the good oldcat reset. So I should mention that even if your timeris accidentally stopped during a run, you can still continue and simply re-time it atthe end. That’s actually going to be the case fora few of these clips. But when you’re mid-run and your cat stopsthe timer, exits out of Twitch chat, basically tries to shut your whole stream down, it canbe pretty annoying; which is why a lot of runners will just take the reset. During a run of Borderlands 2, Amyrlinn’scat simultaneously skips a split and sits on the pause key.
Instead of resetting the run, Amyrlinn simplycontinues it and re-times the run at the end. The run was a new personal best for him, andyou could say it was because of good execution, but I would say it was because of the cat. Here we have the famous Earthbound speedrunfrom sinistralt314, in which his dog Karl got a little too excited. So since this run was on emulator, Karl accidentallyran over a key that was set to load a save state, thus invalidating the run; wastingover 3 hours of time.
Next up is Stealinbread’s run of Final FantasyVII. Just like PopeSquidward’s cat, Stealinbread’scat manages to find the reset key. Next up is Aliwait a second, she’s not a speedrunner. Forthis entry, the speedrunner Mcgarbage wasn’t really negatively affected by his cat, butrather, his cat just wanted to play with him during a Golden Eye 007 run. The speedrunner JiggsGuy was about to geta PB in Super Mario World, but he made the mistake of letting his cat in the room duringBowser’s Castle. I want to mention that Jiggs simply used acamera pointed at his TV to record gameplay, since he doesn’t have a capture card.
Sometimes this is all you need for run validation,but it can be risky if let’s say the camera dies or this happens. So for this clip, we unfortunately don’tget to see the dog’s deviances, but we can definitely hear them. This comes from a glitchless speedrun of thecourse Mario Circuit in Mario Kart Wii by Mkwiifreak. This run also had the potential to be a newWorld Record. I should mention that this clip was threeyears ago, and Mkwiifreak has since pushed down the time to a high 1 minute and 20 secondtime, being the first person to do so. Before we move on to the final entry, we havea hot honorable mention, which is a speedrun from the game Refunct.
Now this isn’t your normal speedrun. There’s an extra category called Dog%, inwhich you must beat the game with a dog in your lap. Seriously, I never even knew this was a thing.
The game itself is pretty short, with theWorld Record Any% time clocking in at 2 minutes, 42 seconds, and 380 milliseconds, while theWorld Record Dog% time is only 9 seconds slower. So if you have your dog sitting in your lapand you’re on a good run, your dog might want to jump from your lap which would invalidatethe run, or they might lick your face thus somewhat distracting you, which can be seenin the World Record run from speedrunner Jarko. I couldn’t find any examples of trollingin Dog%, but I knew I had to incorporate this run in the video somehow, so EZScape and Iexperimented to see if my dog could behave. Now for the final entry we have a Super Mario64 run from Witwix. This clip is another one in which we don’tget to see the animal on camera, but the reaction the cat is getting out of Witwix is priceless.
Anyways that’s going to be it for today’svideo, and I hope you all enjoyed. Like I mentioned in the beginning, it washard to find examples for this Top 10, but if there are ones that I missed, let me knowin the comments section.
It’s possible that in some situations or over a long span of time, you can eventually find ways to communicate with your husband more effectively. Strung along by narcissist. For covert narcissists, the expression of traits often appears more introverted and self-isolating rather than brash and outlandish. The Depth of Your Communication Will be Limitedbut will have little patience for details and cannot afford to get into the habit of intimately listening to someone else’s perspective. If he does, he risks taking a much closer look at his own pain than he wants to. He will feign some surface level interest in what you say and will likely view or discuss it in terms of how it affects him.As mentioned above, narcissism falls on a spectrum.
If I have enough examples, and this videodoes well, there might be a part two. As always, be sure to like the video, it helpsout the channel a ton, and every like is one treat for my dog.
That’s all from me today, consider subscribingto the channel for more speedrunning related content, and I hope you all have a wonderfulday. It’s interesting how some runners (especially newer ones I guess) think speedrunning is a lot more restricted than it actually is, like here regarding the timer. Sure you might not want to keep going after getting distracted by your pet like that, but some of them (like Stealinbread at 5:00) legit thought the run was invalid because their timer got reset. Having a timer on screen is just convenience for the runner and the viewers, it shouldn’t be required for verification since the run can be retimed anyway.
