New route completed! Segments going quickly, so get some work in!

Discussion topic for the current segment
Route: HERE (Last updated 1/16/2012)


Original post:
Whereas a 100% segmented speedrun of OoT is notoriously long, difficult, and time consuming;
Noting that all OoT runners have specific sections of the game they are good at and bad at;
Further noting that SDA does allow you to use multiple files for a segmented run provided that everything is consistant between segments;

I hereby propose we at ZSR do a 100% segmented run, together. This means that anyone with a DVD recorder could work on the next segment, assuming they create a file completely consistant with the last. The final submission to ZSR/SDA would be a compilation of multiple runners' work.

Consistancy is not difficult to manage - just make sure seeds/nuts/magic/etc line up properly. The one major difficulty is time of day: it is very hard if not impossible to have two runs match that up perfectly. Thus, whoever runs the overworld sections will have to run all overworld sections, until the next time-resetting event (such as becoming adult, watching a special cutscene, or learning a song). However, anybody could contribute to non-time flowing areas, such as dungeons, sub-dungeons, Kokiri Forest, Kakriko Village, Gerudo Fortress, and more.

Before starting, we obviously need a route. To make a route for such a complicated division, I suggest we have a team of people working on it (instead of just me, no way will I catch everything and I'm rubbish HPs, etc). If brianmp could help that would be great, but I fear he might be long gone. Based on the route, we also have decide whether we want to run N64 1.0 or GC, as both have pros and cons associated with them.

It is feasible to do segments out of order, but I would high recommend against it. Who knows what small timesavers may be found as we go along, and those could mess with things like bomb counts or c-items.

Would anyone actually be interested in this? I'm going to double-check with SDA right now to make sure this okay.

[UchihaSasuke]

if it was on VC, it would be way easier since the runner could just upload the save for the next one to download it and not worry about anything matching up.

i guess you could add this as a VC advantage.

[Runnerguy2489]

Epic idea; I'm definitely interested.

[RingRush]

Version advantages:

N64:
1.0 is theorized to be the only one that can get Zora Tunic without unfreezing KZ (excluding shop)
All other segments could be run by 1.0, 1.1, or 1.2 since no differences are present
Probably owned by the most people

GC:
Some prefer the controls *coughZFG* (though this is also true for N64)
Void hovering (not sure if this would be used anywhere yet)

VC:
Could easily send files, so anyone could run any segment assuming they had an SD card
HOWEVER lacks above glitches that N64/GC get access too, and not owned by as many people

[SD2]

I'm interested, but I don't know how much I'd be able to help.

Also, is this even SDA legal?

[RingRush]

I'm fairly sure it is ZSR legal, and it is likely SDA legal. Something similar has been done before, but with enough differences in process to warrant double checking.

[ZFG]

Really cool idea, I have all versions so I'd be able to help no matter what version is chosen (though obviously I'd prefer GC )

[Elminster]

This sounds interesting, even somebody like me would be able to help if I specialized in something. Problem for me is that I only have 1.1 and VC.

[bluephantom340]

I'm interested. I have all versions, except for N64 1.0, 1.2, and jpn.

[aleckermit]

Oh I like this idea a lot. Count me in. The time of day thing is a pretty big issue though. I'd probably be up for doing Ganon's Castle Trials/Tower and Escape. Also any of the child dungeons (especially Deku, since I've already done a Deku 100% IL).

RG is the best candidate for seg 3, since it's in the any% route anyway haha.

Obviously swapping Wii saves would be the easiest way to stay consistent with items and visuals... we need to choose a console/version that most of us have. I assume most guys have a Wii with VC OoT. v1.0 VC would be best but it's not official, so not SDA acceptable. If anything this would be a cool run for ZSR to have.

[RingRush]

We've already decided on the wii VC version, since it allows for save swapping and has less lag.

[SD2]

 think I'm going to test out the route so far when I get a chance.  I need a 100% file anyway.

[RingRush]

http://forums.zeldaspeedruns.com/index.php?topic=415.msg6801#msg6801

Preliminary route is DONE. If a few people could test it and offer suggestions, that would be great. We'll hammer out explosive/pause route later.

[SD2]

One route question; in segment 16:

Chu bowl for 40 bag [34R] (can get HP instead depending on bomb count)
Get Skull Mask [74R]

Where do we get the extra 50 rupees?  Trading back Keaton's Mask costs us 10, which should give us 24.

[Blizzerk]

I'm honestly up for this to run in it, and maybe even get some segments in if mine are fast enough? :O

The time of day doesn't matter if we're transferring saves over VC. I'd like to see a full player list if possible.

[Elminster]

I volunteer to run segment 5. :3

[RingRush]

Anybody can run whatever segment they want. In order to have your segment be in the final run, it needs to be fast enough that we accept it and faster than everyone else's segment.

[aleckermit]

Anybody can run whatever segment they want. In order to have your segment be in the final run, it needs to be fast enough that we accept it and faster than everyone else's segment.

Ehh... there are a few people (RG, Jiano), that I'm sure could rape anyone else's times if the put enough time into a segment. I think we should match segments with people that have the strongest skill for each particular segment. Maxx did amazing Jabu-Jabu, Jiano is great at Shadow, Pokey is a BoTW pro, I do well in Ganon's Castle, etc. We should just put it out there as a given that the segments taht are submitted should be executed near flawlessly. But obviously very skilled runners should do the more advanced segments, and leave the simpler ones to others that still want to participate.

I'd like to do segments 12, 13 and 59-61 the most

[RingRush]

The goal isn't to simply allow everyone to participate. It is to get a run done at a very high quality, which means multiple people participating. Honestly, I see most segments being done by ZFG/RG/Pokey/Jiano, with a scattered handful done by some players like alec/cosmo/kazooie/etc. Some segments are obviously going to fall to some people...I'd bet money we are going to use ZFG for Fire Temple. But still, we are not forcing one person to do any one segment. Anyone can attempt any segment they feel like.

Fair enough. So when do we kick this off? I see the route is still in the "preliminary" stage, but segment 1 is an obvious constant. Can I whip out a seg 1 to get the ball rolling?

I'd like to do a near perfect mash intro and quick save just to look sweet.

PS: There are a few things to remember since multiple people are recording such as:
1. Always have sound set to Stereo
2. Keep brightness consistent (this might be hard to do, unless there is a way to alter it before/in encoding).
3. Make sure file screen matches that of the person who did a segment before you.

[RingRush]

We are having a few people test the route and suggest improvements. Then we'll spend a bit of time looking for tricks to save additional time, especially route-specific things. Then we'll work on a bomb/superslide route. Then we'll do another round of testing. Finally, after that, we'll choose the file name and be able to start recording.

[SD2]

We need to play he sun's song after reaching Sacred Forest Meadow for the GS we get there to appear (it'll be daytime when we get there).
Also, check to see if skipping the Forest Medallion cutscene still resets the time of day.  If it does, we'll need to play sun's song again to get the GS behind the red rock.

Both of these are segment 25, by the way.

Also, we should think about combining segments 1/2 and 26/27.

EDIT: Just thought of another one.  Instead of having to play minuet to go back into the forest temple, why don't we just set FW in the first room when we go there with the odd mush timer?  We could also set it when we get into the main room on our way to get the bow.
Could it also be faster to get the floormaster small key instead of the stalfos one?

[RingRush]

The time to get the key is insanely tight. We might be able to pull a FW off, but I'm not sure. However, I still think this won't work, as we need another dungeon to FW back. We could use DC, but that would mean not having the bow/quiver for Gerudo Valley, which would mean a second trip for achery and some poes on the way there. Definitely not worth it.

Also, the Stalfos key is required. Without getting it, the Stalfos for the bow fight will not appear.

I agree with combining 1/2...not certain about 26/27.

[SD2]

Ah, that's right, I forgot about needing a dungeon to use FW.  Also, never knew about the stalfos key thing.  Oh well.

[ING-X]

ringrush, are you seriously expecting to be able to do wess escape on the vc version? you'd have to have someone who's REALLY used to that stick to do that... unless it'd be acceptable to pause to change the direction of the ess, i don't see that working out.

also... i volunteer to run segment 54 when that time comes around

Meh it can be done. I've done it multiple times with the GCN controller without pauses for the old emu run I did (although at one point I got really fed up with the inconsistency and decided to use pauses). And that was back when I was very mediocre at OoT. It's harder yes, but RG can do it (I'm assuming he will do that segment). Jiano, Cosmo, and Pokey are great tech-ers as well that I'm sure could pull it off with practice. I might try the segment myself but I doubt I can do WESS escape + chicken gathering + BotW early in a good enough time. We'll see.

[BlueStarReturns]

I'm really looking forward to this! I just wish I was more experienced in the game to help with it. Sadly, I still haven't learned how to do a lot of the stuff that I want to learn and the stuff that I do know how to do, I haven't practiced in ages. Plus I don't even have my Wii anymore (shame, shame I know. It was out of my control, got stolen and I couldn't catch the bastard.), so I can't even get the version we're running.

Who knows, I might throw my hand in the verifying process (spoiler, am i right?). Speaking of that, if it's a team thing, does that mean that anyone who participates can't verify?

To expand on aleck's point, I've heard ZFG is also good at ESSing on a GC controller.

BSR: I imagine the majority of us here are going to steer away from verification and leave it to the folks at SDA.

Yeah, I've been a part of SDA longer, which is why I said I feel I should stay out of the run and possibly help with that. It's not a given, though, so it's not like I'm revealing my intentions.

I'm not the most known with BOTW, but can you get that skulltula without boomerang?
I tried to find a video on how to on youtube but it's being difficult. Plus Brianmp16's takes it with the boomerang in his speedrun

[Runnerguy2489]

Yes, we will be getting that without the boomerang. You can get it with the likelike giving you the boost when it spits you out.

[Lithe]

will be watching this closely.  very cool

Anybody tested the route yet? We really need to move onto the next phase before the project dies.

I'm stuck at the stupid gerudo archery, but I am working on testing.

I can continue testing this tomorrow.

[ING-X]

wait, does this have to be recorded through a dvd recorder? or will a capture card work too?

Anything that meets SDA quality standards, I'm fairly sure. So if your capture card works, then you can use it

RG is doing some really in depth testing, and is making a few alterations.

To RG for when he gets back:

Best solution we've found to the dilemma - clear out lower Zora's River.

After exiting forest, route would go:
SS to ZR
GS in tree
Buy 2 beans [subtract 30R]
Back to Market - 60R from chains (kills a bit more time and we need the extra 20 if we want an extra beans)
Continue with market as before, to kakriko...if it isn't night yet, it should at least be very close. Could also potentially get bomb drops in ZR to lessen the waiting time..and is a bomb drop from the tree outside of Kakriko possible?

The extra beans will be planted in our return trip to the Forest Stage after Mask of Truth, thus skipping the hover as adult. We could also move the GS in the forest stage back to the second trip (I don't know why it was there...is it faster to do so?) since we have the ZR GS now for giant's wallet. Alternatively, we can get the construction GS after House of Skulltula instead of before.

Since we are skipping the forest stage hover...I'm wondering if it is worth it to buy the 20 chus. I think it still is, because of the fountain hover and reverse KZ hover (along with some other hover I'm probably forgetting...do we WT bk skip?). But it is worth reevaluating.
