Pokemon Blue Blindfolded Race by Various Runners in  

Tbh it would have been funny if Shenanigans didn't make the same joke in his 151 run...

Ok unrelated question but what is that profile picture and why is it everywhere

@@laggianput you're about a year late

@@laggianput JC Denton, my guy. From Deus Ex, the greatest game of all time

strings of unfortunate pokemon events run through Keiz' blood

at least this run didn't get mercy killed. That's actually pretty lucky for keizameme.

+Anthony Voskuhl Watch Zelda: Ocarina of Time child dungeons blindfolded.

By using clever tricks to determine what they're doing/where they are. Like Pokémon cries, area music or the "thud" sound when running into walls. Obviously memorization is involved to know what cry you hear and what area you're in. This has been written by someone who has played A Koopas Revenge 2, a decently challenging platformer, blindfolded.

Well i would say that 2h of blindfolded pokemon glitches would be too difficult xD

nah shanenigans could do it #believe

+Jonathan Wrend stealthie

+Jonathan Wrend when?

+Jonathan Wrend 6:40 nvm i found it myself lol

Hyunckel he 151'd blue in this SGDQ as well

They've played so many times they've memorized the maps. Then they listen to the sound effects like when they bump into things. They know abouts what part of the game they're in, so they use logic to narrow down how far apart bumps are and in what direction.

Ben Morrison thanks m8

this needs to be closer to the top!

+Triz Circulado I did not know that FAKER had a heart...

+Andrea Mugnaini Fakers has to fake, fake, fake?

+YK L I didn't even count the bait, bait, bait, bait

+Triz Circulado I highly doubt it was actually Faker.

+Triz Circulado i just finished watching lck vs iwc at league allstars and was like wtf when i heard faker's name.

The Good old times we were camping at a ledge east of Cerulean city for 2 days.

+Kawaiivee IKR!!?? im watching sgdq and all of a sudden, A WILD FAKER APPEARS!!!! LOL is almost my life besides college rn, fucking awesome game

Metroid. Near the end, you can kill or save animals. Kill them saves frames while saving them is morally sound. The donations are voting for which one happens.

ye

they used the trainer fly glitch (usually used for mew) to spawn a missingno encounter by fighting the machop in the dojo, so that it duped the items in their inventory, so that they could merge a bunch of item stacks and fuck up the item count (look up item underflow). then you can go 255 bytes past the start of the bag's memory region and change some values in ram, like what map is connected to the current one, which is what they did, and they changed it to the final room. so yes

They just count the steps, it's a very specific route you take. They go into a little detail on this is Shenanagans 151 Run during the same year, but I guess you would find more info on pokemonspeedruns.com

He does a glitch known as "dry item underflow". Basically, when you have x255 of an item, you can toss items to move the menu's cancel button up. He moved it up so that he only had one item, then swapped that so that he had no items, then swapped again to lose another item. This makes you have a negative amount of items. However, the game doesn't know how to have "-1 items" so instead, it underflows (unsigned value) and you'll be able to access past the cancel button. In the game's hex data, after items there is a bunch of random data. The most important data that you now have access to is the MapID. Data here is treated as items and quantities, so the MapID is 17 in the guard house. Shenanagans swapped another part of data to the MapID slot and tossed 9 so he had 118. 118 is the MapID of the Hall of Fame, so he simply set the MapID to that and walked out of the guard house to enter the hall of fame.

Acrid Thanks mate! Awesome!

+nebulagray88 Skt t1, and if it was the real one, I still wouldn't be completely surprised either. Even the sponsored league players have lives outside of League.

+Zsaver3 Since SKT T1 Faker is part of the kespa: no he hasnt. sadly. kespa regulations are the shit.

That doesn't effect anything, you need to open your menu between losing and trying to find the missingno

+xXUxCXx If I got it right, you need a pidgey with a certain amount of health and a 16 sp.attack bulbasaur in order to be able to manipulate the brock skip

+Albert Llopart its a backup for if you mess up your pp counts.

+Mrmghz1 GameBoy mechanics

Long story short? Red Blue and Green are VERY broken games with VERY exploitable mechanics. You can use loopholes in the programming to change your map location and the like through item underflow (aka: moving items in such a way that allows one to scroll below the cancel option)

because older games had to make more 'optimal' use of memory, so the same bytes are used for multiple purposes under the assumption that certain conditions in the game will just never be met (like flying away at the very start of a trainer battle) so if a hacker looks at the memory state while he plays he can start figuring out what conditions affect what memory stores, which effect other conditions, and then they can chain strategies or "strats" together through combinations of these memory exploits

Tldr memes

and use sounds to know where they are

It looks like no one answered your question. Anyways the answer, is practi-wait, did it just crash? Shoot, I didn't practice enough

beat it without even exiting your house (kind of)? 0:00 best time

Yes

You can do that in Pokémon Blue too. That's why they had to say "No save corruption" in the rules.

They need specific amounts of PP on certain attacks in order to do the part where they skip brock and go to Saffron City. They explain what exactly they do in Shenanagans 151 Speedrun from the same year. Because Keizaron messed up his amount of Tackle PP in the Level 4 Rattata fight, his Brock-Skip was messed up, and that's why he had to catch a Pidgey (he even says "I can't believe I'm doing Pidgey strats blindfolded").

Martina Deml ohhhhhh right, thanks very much, that makes a lot of sense! :D

Wie genau er funktioniert kann ich dir nicht sagen, google das eher. Es hat mit der Speicherstruktur der Spiele zusammen und wie man bestimmte Events mit den richtigen Inputs abrufen kann. Und so weit ich weiß geht es mit Rot und Blau (Gelb weiß ich nicht). Aber Blau ist leichter da das Abra weniger kostet.

Um...No... Just Google it. Missingno is real

Wait what lol ... as a kid you never killed him so you could get 99 rare candys & master balls?

They are blindfolded, what do you expect? They need audio queues in order to find their way around.

you need bulbasaur with enough HP and a pidgey to fo the walk through walls glitch

What?

I found you, *faker*
