Why Mario Kart Double Dash is the best MK game and how to get into time trialing with Rebecca

Why Mario Kart Double Dash is the best MK game and how to get into time trialing with Rebecca

Mario Kart Double Dash is one of the 2 Mario Kart games I played very often when I was younger. A few months ago I got into time trialing this game and learned not only how awesome this game is, but how awesome its community is too. A lot of people helped me and over the time I got better and learned how deep this game is.

There is so much to optimize and on a technical standpoint this game is the most polished and technical MK game out there (if you play time trials, with items / cpu's this game is broken)

I joined together with Rebecca to tell you how much fun this game is, why it is so good and how to learn it and climb the ladder - Hope you enjoy the episode and get ready for some double dashing!

Solo Episode 2: How to learn any speedrun? My personal recommendation and tips for newcomers!

Solo Episode 2: How to learn any speedrun? My personal recommendation and tips for newcomers!

In todays solo episode I try to answer the highly requested question "How to learn any Speedrun" or how I would learn any new speedrun and how I would recommend to learn a speedrun if you are completely new to it. A lot of people seem to have trouble with that, especially in the beginning, so in this episode I try to cover all the basics.

I show you how to find the right resources and use them effectively in order to build a good solid foundation of basics and muscle memory. Muscle memory is probably the most important skill every speedrunner has to learn and master. That's why it is the biggest part of this episode since it is so important that you do that right!

If you want to vote in the future for the next solo episode topic keep an eye out on my Twitter or Discord, I ask occasionally for the next topics there. Also if you have any personal suggestion of a topic or of a guest I should invite, hit me up in the DMs on both of those or just write in my public Discord server, I am always open for new recommendation and suggestions!

Solo Episode 1 : The advantages and disadvantages of focusing on the timer!

In todays episode I don't have a guest (due to issues on their side) but I tried my best to record a nice short episode alone talking about an important topic: the timer!  

A lot of runners end up looking to often at the timer and don't realize how bad that CAN be, hope you enjoy the episode and you can learn something from it!

Why plant's vs. zombies is such a unique Speedrun you need to try - talking with Warmech (part 2)

WarMech is a very talented Plants vs. Zombies speedrunner who talked  greatly about the mechanics of the game and explained why it is far away  from just an "auto-scroller speedrun".   

This is part 2 of the recording, where we look a little deeper into the  speedrun and understand more of its uniqueness. Highly recommened to  also listen to part 1!

Talking with davesterio about ther FF7 remake and how to get into new Speedruns

Davesterio is a friend of mine so I invited him to a 2nd recording.  Since we talked last time about the original Final Fantasy 7 speedrun I  found it very fitting to discuss with him about the remake and its  speedrun as well. 

He absolutely loves that game and shared a lot of  insights about its early speedrun progression.  Hope you can learn a lot about learning and finding your way into new  speedruns - hopefully you got as inspired as I did by the speedrun  community and their ability to find new ways to break the games apart!

The struggles of a Speedrunner: Hand pain, competition and mindset - Talking with Simply about the important topics!

The struggles of a Speedrunner: Hand pain, competition and mindset - Talking with Simply about the important topics!

We all know Speedrunning can be a pain in the ass sometimes. Besides learning and getting better at the game which can already be really hard there is much more to learn and to endure as a speedrunner the further you want to get.

So today I invited Simply, a very experienced speedrunner who went through a lot. We ended up talking about all the critical points in his career such as his hand issues, problems with mindset and the grind in the competitive field of speedrunning. He is explaining a lot from his perspective and is giving great advice on given topics.

What a worth episode it was, me and Simply really loved to record this one. After the recording we had a nice chat in my stream with my twitch audience, so if you have any questions to my guests or me about Speedrunning or basically anything - come check out my stream, all podcast recordings happen there.

GlitchCat7 talking about Kaizo Mario and its Speedruns - How to get into Kaizo Mario

A lot of people who watch me on Twitch or follow me on Twitter know that I am a big fan of Kaizo Mario since recent times and I try my hardest to get better at it. Ever since I discovered Kaizo Mario for myself I wanted to invite someone from the Kaizo community to talk about that awesome game genre and here he is: GlitchCat!

He is one of the more known people when it comes down to Kaizo Mario, he plays and speedruns those games since a very long time so he was capable to talk about the history of Kaizo Mario very well. We talked about all kinds of things: From how it started, how to get into it all the way to its Speedruns and the future of Kaizo Mario!

Hope I can get someone excited for Kaizo Mario, I highly recommend checking it out, we shared all secrets on how to have a fun and pleasurable experience with these very difficult games!

The female Speedrunning community and Frame Fatales - Interview with Emray

In todays episode I invited Emray, a female Hollow Knight and Pokemon speedrunner. We talked about the female speedrun community and how it is to be a girl in a male dominated community.
She shares some sad stories from the part but also explains how it got better today and that females and transgender are generally very welcomed in the Speedrunning scene. Please share this episode with all your female and transgender friends who might be scared to join the Speedrun-community.

Emray is a awesome streamer, I love her energy and humor during her streams and she is so close to become a partner, so please go to her channel and support her, she deserves it! (-> https://www.twitch.tv/emray)

World record culture and the Speedrun community - chatting with Kosmic about general topics!

World record culture and the Speedrun community - chatting with Kosmic about general topics!

Most people who ever held a world record for a longer time probably have experienced that: the general audience of twitch doesn't know what really stand behind a world record. 

They think there is a big rivalry between runners and also their behavior pressures runners to performe well otherwise they are not worth it. Because of reasons like that I talked with Kosmic about that topic to clear some things up. 

We are also humans and we do understand why a world record is more exciting than just a regular run or personal best. But it is also our hobby and all we want is just getting fun and enjoyment out of that hobby. So I hope after this episode you understand us better. 

Please make sure to follow Komsic on Twitch, he is a fantastic Mario Bros. 1 runner (the best out there in my opinion. 

I would also like to remind you that you can catch those podcast episodes live, so make sure to check out my twitch channel, there you can interact with me and my guests before and after the episode recording!

Why RNG can be something good in your Speedrun - chatting with Vysuals

Why RNG can be something good in your Speedrun - chatting with Vysuals

In the 2nd episode I recorded with Vysuals we talked and explained everything you need to know about RNG in Speedruns! Since Vysuals has to deal with RNG consistently in his speedrun (Hollow Knight) he got a lot of valuable info on how to deal with randomness mentally, which you need to listen too. 

He also clears up the "misconception" that RNG is nothing good in Speedruns, in fact he believes a random factor gives most speedruns more depth and make them uniqu and special. Of course there is the need of the right balance between randomness and pure skill parts in a speedrun, but if they are met together well we get beautiful speedruns, like Hollow Knight. 

Hope you stop hating on RNG and you finally start to see the postive, thank you Vysuals for chatting with me about this topic it was very informative, please do me a favoure and support and watch him on his journey to become a partnered streamer on twitch, link to his channel here

Catch those episodes live if you can on my twitch cahnnel, would make me happy to see you guys there and chat with you a bit about the topics too. Me and my guests have obviously enough spare time to talk with all of you!

The life cycle of Speedrunning and climbing your way to the top - asking Speedrunning legend Kosmic how it's done!

I was interviewing Super Mario Bros. 1 legend Kosmic and ask him about his journey in this and multiple other Speedgames. He talked about how he got into Speedrunning, how he picks up games and improves in them and what his mindset and approach looks like to achieve his goals. Since most people once they reached world record level in one game they can do it in any game I was curious how that is done, Kosmic got the answers for that in this episode! On top of that we talked about the life cycle of Speedrunning and his struggle with goals and times such as his 4:55 in Any% and his road to 18:59 in warpless (speaking of SMB1). Many awesome stories shared and a lot of surprising thoughts mentioned, please give Kosmic a follow on Twitch, a very beautiful person and streamer.
