Pokemon Showdown Ladder Speedruns!

[SBPC]

gen 8 rands
time: 16:52

Starts at 0:41 and ends at 17:33 although apparently I got to 1300 some amount of time before, oh well.

verified as a 16:52

gen 8
Time: 14:46
Starts at 1:03 and ends at 15:49

I'd probably be faster if OBS didn't make my computer lag so hard. /battle! command is huge

I don't think I can top Boris' run but I'm happy with a third place finish and my PB c:

Speedran Gen8 Random Battles in 17:10

For anyone looking to start this, just play your normal game and you'll do fine trust. Also do the /battle! command; shaves off tons of time.

Gen 8 rands
got 1300 at 15:53, first battle starts at 0:11
15m42s for the moment. might try again in a bit but this is quite draining lol

 

[crying]

gen 8 ou ladder updated very weirdly. at 9:11 it showed that i was at 1272 but the next game it showed that i was already at 1300. so i would say this was a 9:11 run

modnote: the ladder gave you an extra point which was kinda funny, but we're calling it at the last battle so your timing is correct

Modnote: we know showdown ladder is kinda funky but we can't call it at 9m 11s as there's no battle won on screen that shows the account breaking 1300, still an incredible run and good work

Hi i speedrun teambuilding in OU (the video was an april fool's day but it submitable to a speedrun jury)

 

[Kyo]

Gave the OU 1300s run a shot. Was definitely harder than I was expecting. I can manage 3 games easily enough but not when I'm trying to play at top speed. Lost my composure trying to do that but I only dropped one game I think so it worked out. Should be a 17:09 or 17:10 but I'll let mod team confirm. For some reason Xbox Game Bar (what I used to screen record) did not detect LiveSplit timer even though I could see it on screen.

Anyway this was fun, I'll give it another shot eventually with a team hopefully not made in 2 minutes.

This has been a thing in VGC for about a year now, it'd be cool to see it on the leaderboard. The run is to 1700 on whatever the current VGC ladder is.

The current best times (I know of) are:

1. Duckpond - 1:20:16
2. Wolfe - 1:23:32
3. Duomark - 1:34:40
4. Chef - 1:34:58
5. MattieMoo - 1:51:22
