Starcraft 2 WoL normal any% speedrun 1:37:35 IGT (1:48:46 RTA)ZPR2026-09-20 | Starcraft 2 WoL normal any% speedrun 1:37:35 IGT (1:48:46 RTA)Starcraft 2 The Outlaws normal 2:13ZPR2022-03-03 | I got this run about a month ago but I didn't upload since I expected to improve it quickly. I guess that didn't happen...
Some small optimizations over my old PB; there's still plenty of timesave in this oneStarcraft 2 Lab Rat normal 5:10ZPR2022-02-28 | Not that great of a run, I just wanted to implement the old mineral boosting trick somewhere and this seemed like the mission where it'd make the biggest difference. Lab Rat is very boring to grind so I probably won't improve this. I have gotten the pool down almost 2 seconds faster than this and the attack can be done a lot better too, it's in fact slower here than in the old record.
I also checked the languages, turns out English is fastest for onceStarcraft 2 Whispers of Doom normal 5:12ZPR2022-01-12 | First completion with simplified Chinese, nothing special otherwise
There should be 2 or 3 seconds to be saved on the final section with this movement. If we can find some small new trick to save 5 in total, Portuguese voices are viable after all. That would save another 4 seconds on the first section and allow for sub-5 timesStarcraft 2 Maw of the Void casual 1:38ZPR2022-01-09 | For some reason I never thought to do cutscene manipulation on casual after I found out how to use it on the other difficulties.
This run is probably perfect, at least we'd have to find some completely new idea to beat it. The BC section is held back by hint triggers so that can't be done faster, neither can spectre production. Finally, the vault cutscene here is frame perfect, the nuke animation starts on the last frame before the screen fades out.
I used Russian voices to improve consistency, sometimes you get the DT cutscene first instead of the vault cutscene with this setup. The DT cutscene is only long enough for a nuke to land with Russian voices.Starcraft 2 Supernova casual 1:57ZPR2022-01-08 | I found a nice setup to consistently get off 5 reaper shots in total. It's possible to get a 4th shot from the second reaper and if I had gotten that here, this would have been very close to a 1:56 which seems like the best possible time.Starcraft 2 Supernova normal 2:26ZPR2022-01-06 | Sick run, I just wanted to grind out a 2:27 but I somehow managed to skip that time completely
2:25 might be the best possible time, beyond that you'd lose out on the 3rd reaper bomb and I don't think it's possible to make up for thatStarcraft 2 Cutthroat hard 2:04ZPR2022-01-05 | Basically the same as the brutal runStarcraft 2 Supernova normal 2:30ZPR2022-01-03 | Decent run but there's definitely still time to be saved on the banshee movement. Getting off a few more reaper shots could probably save a second too
I let the cutscene finish because the banshees regen while it plays. It's only about 5 hp but it makes the run slightly more consistent without slowing down mission timeStarcraft 2 Cutthroat casual 1:25ZPR2022-01-01 | 14 second improvement of a 99 second run is pretty good
Seems optimal. A 1:24, if it's even possible with this strat, would require absolutely perfect execution and probably also good rng on the random delay between reaper attacks. I don't see how it would be possible to improve the build either but you never knowStarcraft 2 Cutthroat normal 1:54ZPR2021-12-31 | Just barely a 1:54. I think there's at most 1 second to be cut with this strat Happy new year :)Starcraft 2 Cutthroat brutal 2:04ZPR2021-12-30 | ...Starcraft 2 Cutthroat normal 1:59ZPR2021-12-30 | A few frames faster than Bloody ;)Starcraft 2 Cutthroat normal 2:04ZPR2021-12-29 | Just a slightly tighter version of Grepstar's run. The only significant improvement that is possible with this strat is building the first Ghost Academy faster. 2:03 should be possible in theory but it seems like it might be unfeasible mechanicallyStarcraft 2 In the Enemys Shadow normal 2:21ZPR2021-11-27 | pretty close to 2:20 but I don't think i'll go for thatStarcraft 2 A Sinister Turn brutal 3:43ZPR2021-11-07 | Lost a bit of time on the bottom left preserver. It might be best to just kill it with 3 DTs before the hybrid spawns. A few other things can be done better too.
It's possible to get the zealot into the preserver area without pulling any units. This gives a lot of extra dps but I haven't managed to do it while keeping all 3 DTs alive. If possible, it should allow for a time around 3:30Starcraft 2 Maw of the Void brutal 2:24ZPR2021-07-21 | Quite boring compared to other difficulties but I haven't managed to find a faster strat. The time ends up depending only on the reaper timing and the initial BC section. The latter is good here but slightly more than a second can be saved on the reaper. Hence, 2:23 (possibly a very high 2:22) should be the optimal time with this strat. I still feel like it's possible to come up with something clever to save more timeStarcraft 2 Maw of the Void hard 1:57ZPR2021-07-20 | Similar to the normal strat but with an interesting twist: Russian language being slower on the dt cutscene is good here. It allows the nuke to drop during the cutscene, saving a few seconds. This shouldn't make a difference for normal as the cutscenes are triggered in the opposite order. I was a bit slow on the BC section, it's possible to save at least half a second on thatStarcraft 2 Maw of the Void normal 1:47ZPR2021-07-19 | Same idea as the casual run but with an extra nuke and some manipulation to get both nukes during cutscenes (that's what the bc movement is for). The setup feels pretty inconsistent but it doesn't look like the strat can get much faster anywayStarcraft 2 Maw of The Void casual 1:42ZPR2021-07-18 | Big cutscene nuke strat and somehow a 3 second time save on the BC section. French voices don't help, I just had them on from the last mission I was runningStarcraft 2 Night Terrors normal 3:02ZPR2021-07-15 | Much tighter movement than my old run and ~0.9s saved from switching to French voices. This should be a 3:02.9x and I had several 3:03.0x while going for it. Seems like some new movement tricks would be needed to save any more time, maybe a single second can be saved with this thoughStarcraft 2 The Gates of Hell brutal 3:33ZPR2021-07-11 | I suppose in theory a 3:29 is possible like on normal but the extra units around the worms, especially the ultralisk make it much harderStarcraft 2 The Gates of Hell normal 3:29ZPR2021-07-11 | I'm pretty sure 3:29 is the perfect time for this strat. Maybe it's possible to squeeze in another rax or something, otherwise this is as good as it getsStarcraft 2 The Gates of Hell normal 3:32ZPR2021-07-09 | As far as we know, it's impossible to reach 100 supply before the second drop pod so the only way to save time is to kill the nydus worms fasterStarcraft 2 Ghost of a Chance brutal 4:10ZPR2021-07-09 | Big improvement of my old run.
First section is the same old strat executed slightly better. For the second section, reaper grenades speed up the fight. Nova's energy regen is a bottleneck now so to save more time, a significant change in strategy would be necessary. For example, it could be possible to skip mind controlling the banshee. In the third section, I found out that it's possible to get the nuke without being revealed by the turret to the north. You just have to be a bit careful with the placement. Chinese (traditional) voices save a tiny bit of time waiting for the nuke.Starcraft 2 A Sinister Turn normal 3/3 research 3:11ZPR2021-07-05 | ...Starcraft 2 A Sinister Turn normal 2:58ZPR2021-07-04 | ...Starcraft 2 Cutthroat casual 1:39ZPR2021-07-02 | I uncloak the spectre to avoid taking damage on the reaper, it's nearly impossible to get off 3 reaper shots without doing thisStarcraft 2 Ghost of a Chance normal 3:10ZPR2021-07-02 | A bit sloppy on the second section but still a decent showcase for the nukeless reaper stratStarcraft 2: Wings of Liberty Brutal speedrun 1:54:43 IGT (2:06:00 RTA)ZPR2021-03-27 | Old run I never put on youtubeStarcraft 2: Wings of Liberty speedrun Brutal any% 1:55:09 IGTZPR2020-11-14 | RTA: 2:07:15

Clearly, this time is possible on normal and casual as well.Starcraft 2 Whispers of Doom brutal 6:26ZPR2020-10-19 | This beats Freezard's old run which uses strats that were patched out. Portuguese voices make up for a lot of the difference but there are a bunch of minor improvements as well. There's still time to be saved too! Even the big fight which was my cleanest one yet wasn't quite perfect.Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty Speedrun normal any% 1:35:45 IGTZPR2020-10-17 | RTA: 1:46:19
Very happy with this one! 1:34:xx is the fastest possible time with the these strats but it would be very hard to get.
