Well, i dunno if this will be good, but i will try to do Speedrun on Lowser's Conquest after i beat it maybe like 3 times, if it's out already, i dunno. I wasn't here since August.

The beta is out. But a special version of the game is required to run it, I'm saying that just in case you didn't know.

Speedrunning such a long episode may not be such a good idea, especially if:

1. you're not used to speedrunning and
2. you're haven't determined yet if it's a good episode to speedrun (are the levels easy to run through? are there any skips?)

Even The Invasion 2 is not the ideal episode to speedrun, since there are no large skips after world 4, and some levels are a pain to optimize (including the first one). But you're still looking at only 50 levels for a 100% speedrun, while the Lowser's Conquest beta is over 100 levels.

Sednair told me their actually is a plan to have the episode be speedrun able when it is finished with all of the skips.

Maybe, i should do warpless, but it will take ages.

Did you hear ANYTHING that I said?

I mean, it's not illegal to do a speedrun of that game at your level of experience, but you flat-out didn't respond to what I said.

I don't think you understand the difference between speedrunning and playing a game quickly

I mean, there are different categories to speedruns which could include a straight, skipless run of the game. But he clearly doesn't have any idea what he's doing.

Bossedit once did a 9-hour longplay of Airship Attack (sadly the video got deleted). He's known to play pretty quickly, so I would assume a complete speedrun of Airship Attack takes at least 7 hours.

It is quite long. I think it has around 160 or so levels?

I tried to count them exactly, it's something about 155, yup.

Fine. If you think i'm stupid, leave me alone then. Wish there's no one here that's annoying

Well one could do an any% speedrun of Airship attack going through the star, special and E-World up to the boss rush. One to the final boss would probably take longer

I don't think you're stupid, that's not what this is about. This is about the fact that you're ignoring everything I'm trying to tell you, and what others are trying to tell you as well. I'm trying to help you, not insult you.

I want to see you, as well as anyone else, pull off a successful speedrun. But you're not at the experience yet to speedrun a game as large as lowser's conquest, I'd recommend something shorter and easier first. The Princess Cliche might be a good place to start, being only around 13 levels long.

going to the E-world is not any%. Any% is beating the final Bowser as fast as possible. I may Speed run the beta, but I have no reason to if their is no catagoty or listing for it

speedrunning the beta of an episode is dumb

it's not the full version release, and it's in a state where things can easily change

But you can get to the E-world without 100%ing the episode and would present a greater challenge, and be possible to complete in a more reasonable time, even if it wouldn't fit the definition of an any% speedrun.

Man, how many more times do I need to say this? You need to do a run FIRST, THEN the category can get added, that's how things work for all games on speedrun.com.
If you're still talking about that SMBX should be a game series instead of many categories, if so you can still do a run ahead of time since your request might pass as soon as I get permission from Torrent. And your suggestion sounds really good so I expect that Torrent will most likely(hopefully) allow it. Maybe it turns out I'm completely wrong but that's just what I belive.

I guess that is inspiration for me to continue my Speed run of MaGLX2 which is 272+ levels long (Contest episode)

I am guessing this should be here?
