Katastrophic
(Worlds First Sub 43) Resident Evil 3 No Intro Inferno Speedrun World Record
updated
in all seriousness tho, a couple big time losses in this run, i wasn't super duper happy with it, but sub 43 was still possible until the double acid on nemmy 4 (i can still gold nemmy 4 by another 5s lol)
sigh
keep gambling
no music cause i really don't care about this run enough to bother with it lol
ran this for 5 days, took basically any and every run, lost 43:05 pace to nemmy 4 acid the day before xdd
5/5 achieved, wanted to get this back before an upcoming project i'll be working on :)
back to claire b hardcore maybe?
this was definitely my proudest run on 3R prior to my 42:17 nightmare run (this run is dated 10/7/2024 lol) i really enjoyed my time running this category, it feels totally skill based with very little rng involved imo, which made it super fun and rewarding to play :)
a couple new strats/changes i came up with on this category:
- figured out you can do a triple chain dodge (instead of the previous double chain dodge) on the fat construction worker zombie before the substation item box.
- decided to route in keeping the knife because of how valuable it is for specific parts of the run like substation, sewers, etc. and then dumping some of the excess AR ammo later on in warehouse to avoid getting a full inventory.
- i was super happy to discover that you can get a chain on nemmy's tentacle when returning from substation into the donut shop (only works on 3 DA).
- realized that this game on 3 DA basically becomes RE2R in the sense that you can headshot stagger zombies very consistently with the handgun, so i started doing that for all of the zombies during carlos' sections that we would typically shoulder/use the AR on.
- another thing i was super happy to find out is that the triple dodge to fuse 3 that we do on nightmare and inferno also works on this category :)
- slightly different strat for orgy room utilizing a mine round which is basically rng since you have to shoot it all the way from the elevator to not lose any time compared to the old strat lol, but still cool when the mine round bloom isn't total dogshit and you're able to pull it off.
only a few notable time losses throughout the run, primarily not killing marks after grabbing the fire hose, missing the initial mine round pickup in subway before nemmy 2 because i walked forward too early lol, having to punch the zombie who camped the door in sleeper room, and misremembering where the lockpick was in my inventory when heading to warehouse because of a previous run i had right before this one. lost roughly 5s to golds from mistakes + bad rng, still about 15s off sum of best regardless, quite happy with this :) ggs
definitely my proudest run on 3R thus far, which is surprising because to be completely honest i despised this category when i first started running it and thought it was genuinely awful, but after creating several new strats and fixing a lot of what i felt like was bad about it (mainly nemmy 2, 3, and 4, along with a couple of inventory/route adjustments) it quickly became one of my absolute favorite categories to run.
super clean downtown, only .60s off my best pace at sewers (7:40.14 is my best pace at sewers, i just hadn't updated the split name yet at the time of the run) and new best pace at rpd in this run :) little to no mistakes up until hospital, definitely got a little flustered during rpd after seeing glenn's position at the armory door going into it, but i still managed to lock in and pull through. i was extremely confident that i could take a run to the end if i made it past nemmy 2, so the nerves were pretty bad afterwards. a couple of mistakes in hospital resulted in 3.98s worth of time loss, but everything after that was pretty much perfect. i definitely think a mid-low 42:1X is possible, but this run is already 18.72s off of my sum of best, so needless to say i'm pretty content with my time on this category :) ggs and merry christmas

this category is pretty much just a worse version of standard, but i still managed to have fun nonetheless. decided to not bother with shooting the fire barrel at the start because i found being able to chain dodge past the 3 zombies to be relatively consistent. managed to improve substation a bit by shooting the first deimos before the 3rd switch earlier, along with a cool little chain dodge at the very start on the first one. i also discovered that you're able to shift boost after a dodge when using hold to run vs toggle so i've been doing that for the 3 dodges after substation :) figured out that it's possible to get a tentacle chain dodge into the donut shop when only doing a double dodge instead of triple dodge as well, which i was super happy about. last but not least i skipped out on killing the first lady zombie in hospital and just started looking at the hunter on the way back prior to punching her so that he's not able to catch up and hit me. other than that everything else is pretty much the same as it's been on this category :)
the run itself was alright, only .53 off my best pace at sewers start and new best pace at rpd even with getting stuck on the second to last door in sewers, but unfortunately messed up the last triple chain dodge right before exit subway and lost 5.31s. redeemed myself from standard at the tape combine in hospital :) lots of extra mine rounds so i decided to do the inferno strat in the room right before fuse 3. fucked up the dodge into the elevator at the end of warehouse because that's genuinely the worst part of the entire game on standard and hardcore xdd. double mine round in orgy room as well because of all the extra ones. pretty pog nemmy 3, but bad rng on nemmy 4 unfortunately along with my gun not wanting to shoot lol (dylaning) lost the 42:3x to the final time bleed, but not even a nasa pc could survive that one. definitely wanna return to this at some point and go for a low 42:3x or maybe even a 42:2x. ggs for now tho :)

frames have been super shit lately which has been super tilting, but here we are, 5 months after 42:08 and multiple 42:0X PBs later, finally, sub 42. i've certainly improved a lot in the past 2 months or so, lowered my sum of best by 10 whole seconds. early games have been insane lately, but this one was definitely a standout, absolutely ridiculous sewers gold in this run (knife op), 11:23.65 nemmy 1 without a crit, .85 off my best pace ever, found a new spot to use the dodge cd skip in courtyard for a little bit of extra timesave :) and finally no rocket nemmy stagger in a pb for once xdd.
lost 1.53s in rpd to a minor movement mistake and missing the key use before battery, 1.78s on nemmy 2 to the shotgun combine meme, and 5.71s in hospital to the worst tape combine choke in 3R history xdd. pace was insanely good up until then, really clutched up late game with the nemmy 3 gold, 1st crit killed the run entirely, 2nd crit brought it back to life :) i was for sure expecting to lose the sub 42 to time bleed with how bad my bleeds have been lately, but somehow i golded the final split lmao. lost over 10s throughout the entire run, so, yeah, could've been a 41:4X. kinda crazy. ggs nonetheless :)
