Marcel and Summoning Salt are very much in the same vein of “Oh yeah, not only do they teach me about these speed runs, but they’re also INCREDIBLY good at running them too.”
@@Frostile Yeah thats just me, how about that? Must be a sad life to judge people by their way they consume information. So Please do everyone a favor and keep the stick up your own arse, so you're the only one who has to suffer from it :)
@@purplegill10I love this, it's like when you "slow race" on a bicycle, where you have to keep moving forward and can't fall off, but whoever crosses the finish line first loses. Kind of counterintuitive, but difficult and interesting in its own way.
An idea for a future video: a scenario where you have to earn back the park's rating as multiple roller coasters and rides crash upon starting the scenario (and, heck, have a few hundred people drown as a boardwalk suddenly sinks into the lake/sea). Yeah, you could cheese it and try to spam the pause button as soon as the scenario loads to save everyone, but I like the idea of the player having to rebuild a park's reputation after a colossal disaster.
idk if it works over air, but you could probably do that glitch where people fall through the sloped path at the entrance and land them in water so your park rating is continuously bad from drowning guests
Funfact: The average human reaction time is ~20 fps when it comes to a 60fps game. Meaning that in the fastest scenario beaten ever, it is literally impossible to even react to anything before getting jumpscared by the victory screen.
Marcel, thanks so much for shout out! I had so much fun last year when we were all speedrunning the game a lot and working through strategies. I look forward to see what other folks can come up with! I haven't touched the runs in about a year at this point.
One thing I love about Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 is that the moment you pass the threshold you beat the scenario, you don’t have to wait till the end of the year
I always appreciated the ride ticket per month goals in loopy landscapes because those parks could normally be beaten in a couple months. It was a nice break from the 3 year goals
I don't know that you are speedrunning OpenRCT2 as well so that flex came as a surprise! The tricks are very cheeky as well, just what I expected from you if you're speedrunning something lmao
As soon as the summer ends and the dark days will come back I will start playing this game. I remember I loved this game so much now TH-cam bombarded me with this videos.
I love your videos. You made me go back to rct2! I got a lot of the plug-ins thanks to you. Your the most professional rct player I've seen. I don't know if you'd reply to me but I was always curious what your favorite thrill ride is :) mine is enterprise
What scenarios are theoretically completable in the shortest possible time (no early scenario closure)? Would a TAS doing your "Volcania without opening the park" strategy be able to do it in 13 seconds?
I was literally just thinking as i opened up youtube "I could really go for a new Marcel Vos video today" and apparently the universe has made my dreams come true
One of the trickier challenges seems like it would be beating a park at the specified date with the exact number of guests required without drowning them. It might rely too much on RNG or opening and closing the park to keep them out.
Keeping them in isn't hard, so I imagine you would just keep playing until you have a good save-state about one month before the deadline where you would slightly overshoot the goal with advertisements. Then you just keep reloading the save-state and keep delaying the advertisement until you find the perfect date to start them. Then you just keep reloading that save until you beat it with RNG.
Had to go back to the start of the video to make sure it started with "Hello everyone, and welcome to another video" and not "Hello you absolute legends" due to all the intense speedrunning shown
How's it determined what mouse features are allowed (like the resistanceless scroll)? If i had a mouse button which outputted the exact sequence of moves to complete the scenario, i dont think that'd be allowed. How's the line decided?
It's decided on a case by case basis using logic to see what's reasonable. A freewheeling mouse button is just a mechanical thing (like having a smaller keyboard to more easily reach hotkeys or something), while a button that does a complicated sequence of clicks has to be programmed.
Shout out to Tiny Towers, the fastest RCT 1 scenario you can akshually beat (where the scenario completion window comes up). Btw I totally mentioned this to Marcel and yet he chooses to keep you ignorant for the mere sake of brevity.
6:11 Yes that is true BUT the problem is that OpenRCT2 is using RCT2 rides instead of RCT1 rides for RCT1 scenarios which is really really annoying to me. There is NO setting from which RCT you want to use rides. For me is really jarring to see RCT2 stuff in RCT 1 scenarios.
I never liked these speedruns because it misses the challenge of keeping your stats up. when I wasn't that good in rct it was more challenging to keep the numbers up for the long period time
It depends on the community. In marcels case, having a mouse that makes crolling easier is like how in melee people have controllers with custom notches and melee allows that
Not sure if I agree with the speed scenario thing. For guest generation it makes more sense, but for park value your rides lose value as they get older. It turns RCT into who can click the fastest versus who can strategize their building. Just an opinion on a 25 year old game.
Tbh I said this about decay when arguing about the win condition for Finish-5 coaster scenarios. That $20k won't hold, so I'm really the fastest scenario loser. Your other idea is illogical, as fast clicks vs. strategy applies equally to guest goal and park value scenarios.
If you didn't do it that way, how would you do it instead? You would need some way to make people not just wait until the deadline for the speedruns to be interesting.
Speed running in a game like this should use the game date for the timer. PCs run at different speeds so a real world clock is a horrible way to time it.
Fun Fact: Marcel can beat Six Flags Magic Mountain 630 times while you are just watching this video.
Marcel: "what did you do today?"
I watched the video on 2X speed, so looks like it's my win 😎

Low attention span@@jonnyq2113
Seeing the $100k park value just appear from nothing after less than a minute was magical.
I usually do the opposite challenge of "how slow can you beat a scenario in rct"
Thats actually an interesting speedrun idea. How long can you NOT have the finishing requirements before completing it frames before the scenario ends
@@purplegill10I love this, it's like when you "slow race" on a bicycle, where you have to keep moving forward and can't fall off, but whoever crosses the finish line first loses. Kind of counterintuitive, but difficult and interesting in its own way.
@@purplegill10 well "slow" runs of the game can be essentially infinite as several scenarios, particularly in RCT2, have no time limit.
Well, one of the scenarios has the goal "Have Fun," so all we need to do is to get someone with depression to play it.
@@CinciRonbut, which depressed person? Someone has to be slower than the other depressed people😂
12:32 of course it wouldn't be a speedrun history video without the video creator showing up somewhere
I love how this video builds up to the fastest completion time and it just happens to be Marcel himself. Great flex!

After half a year the entire penalty for that will be gone, no matter how many guests die and how many rides crash.
Sounds like a Sim City scenario.
@@MarcelVosooo, is it possible to have the scenario start halfway through the year?
@@MarcelVoswhat about a park that is somehow impossible for you to interact with that regularly kills guests at set intervals?
Funfact: The average human reaction time is ~20 fps when it comes to a 60fps game. Meaning that in the fastest scenario beaten ever, it is literally impossible to even react to anything before getting jumpscared by the victory screen.
Lucky you don't need to react then!
@@mandowarrior123 That is true!
Not literally impossible if that's only the average reaction time
You don't need to react if you know what's coming up, though. Gamers regularly do frame perfect inputs when they know they're coming up.
A speed run to beat the fastest time before the speed run video is posted to youtube. Truly meta
The salt in Marcel's messages at 5:26 was absolutely golden
"Could you not"
But what happened on Sunday?
Marcel, thanks so much for shout out!
I had so much fun last year when we were all speedrunning the game a lot and working through strategies.
I look forward to see what other folks can come up with! I haven't touched the runs in about a year at this point.
0:54 Hold on, a large cleared WHAT?
One thing I love about Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 is that the moment you pass the threshold you beat the scenario, you don’t have to wait till the end of the year
From the longest scenario to the shortest scenario...we've got it all covered now. What's next? 5D Multiverse Scenarios?
Amity Airfield isn't the longest. Extreme Heights requires 50% more guests and has no advertising. The record is 2h 28 minutes.
@@MarcelVos I was actually referring to the Million Year Scenario. But yeah!
@@CaveyMoth Oh right, that makes a lot more sense.
"Deep in the forest, build a thriving theme park in a large cleared WHAT?!"
Anus.
I saw that too - what?!?
I was just binging Marcel Vos videos and this got recommended as it was uploaded. Marcel knew his fans wanted more content.
I always appreciated the ride ticket per month goals in loopy landscapes because those parks could normally be beaten in a couple months. It was a nice break from the 3 year goals
0:45 I'm sorry, the park is in a large cleared *what*?
putting a spotlight on other rct creators is amazing of you
ZGeez has gotta be the most normal looking dude to ever be a speedrun master lol.
Dunno quite a bit of competition to be fair, i'd say there's only a notable few that look particularly distinctive.
Its amazing how intellectual this simple game can get. Almost like chess. But maybe better
Thanks for reviving my urge to play the game again, heres to more records to come!
"RollerCoaster Tycoon Speedrunning looks too intense for me"
0:51 I see what you did there... Must have been uncomfortable fitting so many peeps into there
I don't know that you are speedrunning OpenRCT2 as well so that flex came as a surprise! The tricks are very cheeky as well, just what I expected from you if you're speedrunning something lmao
Marcel: “... But we can go ever faste-“ *The video becomes unwatchable as it can no longer be viewed by human eyes.*
As soon as the summer ends and the dark days will come back I will start playing this game. I remember I loved this game so much now TH-cam bombarded me with this videos.
I'd campaign for seeing Marcel at GDQ making an all scenarios speedrun
Ehm... Did they change something in the scenario description at 0:54 😂?
love your content mate. been playing RCT 1 sincei was 7 years of age... im now 34. thank you so much.
"But we can go faster..." I'm getting flashbacks to pannenkoek's SM64 A presses video.
marcel: set s a world record. me: finds it funny that the only thing you hear of the record is a merry go round beeping once.
I always appreciate that they have Magic Mountain in the game because it's pretty much how it was when I went there as a kid, so it's pretty nostalgic
Imagine hating a game so much you finish playing in 0.2 seconds
I love your videos. You made me go back to rct2! I got a lot of the plug-ins thanks to you. Your the most professional rct player I've seen. I don't know if you'd reply to me but I was always curious what your favorite thrill ride is :) mine is enterprise
Probably magic carpet
"But, we can go faster"
What scenarios are theoretically completable in the shortest possible time (no early scenario closure)? Would a TAS doing your "Volcania without opening the park" strategy be able to do it in 13 seconds?
The rides have to test to get the stats so Volcania won't work even if the rides are completed instantly.
I went into this video fully expecting Sherwood Forest to come up, very surprised it didn't.
Now I want a Summoning Salt video about RCT speedruns
Me too
Hearing Marcel say "HUND-reds" gives me life
your vids are so calming i fall asleep to them
speedrunners will not be stopped by anything

It’s the Bismuth video on rct we’ve always wanted
0:48 what's up with the description there Marcel?
Speedrunning RCT... now I've seen everything.
Playing RCT at neckbreaking speed like a professional.

Marcel Vos the Boss!
Welcome to RCT, the speedgame where they had to lower the length of a framerule from 1 hour to 13 seconds.
Congrats on your world record! 🥳

Then you just keep reloading that save until you beat it with RNG.
As long as you aren't advertising your guest number will float around the soft guest cap and will eventually reach equilibrium.
what mouse do you use? cuz I got the razer basilisk v3 and that has a free spin toggle button
My Thursday just became exponentially better
Had to go back to the start of the video to make sure it started with "Hello everyone, and welcome to another video" and not "Hello you absolute legends" due to all the intense speedrunning shown
I would love to see a OpenRCT2 All Scenarios run at a GDQ some day.
"Well, any HUMAN, that is"
Marcel, how do we know you are human!
Just kidding, congrats on the speedrun!
it is marcel mthursday, my dudes
0:57 What do I read above "Your objective:"? oO
Gee-z seemed like Marcel’s favorite. Are they besties?
I don't know him other than from speedrunning. He just happened to have a bunch of relevant records.
2:10 what resolution is this? 4x2.5?
could you make a video about how the excitement, intensity, and nausea are calculated for rollercoasters?
I want Marcel to do RCT3 content. I desperately want someone to cover that game.
How's it determined what mouse features are allowed (like the resistanceless scroll)? If i had a mouse button which outputted the exact sequence of moves to complete the scenario, i dont think that'd be allowed. How's the line decided?

Well, there's one thing I would agree with, getting rid of *Goliaaath!* would definitely make Magic Mountain a lot better..
What about parks without a timed goal? Vertical Views, for example asks you to reach ride ticket sales at any time.
I didn't know RCT speed running was a thing!
Oh sorry, was a speedrun happening? I was too busy staring at that dancing panda. He makes me feel like my happiness is maxed out at 255!
Those logitech (or other company... not sure, wich) flywheel mice are op...
Shout out to Tiny Towers, the fastest RCT 1 scenario you can akshually beat (where the scenario completion window comes up). Btw I totally mentioned this to Marcel and yet he chooses to keep you ignorant for the mere sake of brevity.
What's a challenge that you want somebody to ask you to do? Is there anything you've figured out, but can't seem to fit into a video?
Marcel videos get a thumb from me before I even press play
HELLO, YOU ABSOLUTE LEGENDS!
Marcel Jobst
Marcel evolved to Karl 😄👍
You gotta try to see how little money you can spend to complete a scenario too.
can be faster!? open/close rides from the rides window, use precise mouse movements and shortcut keys to shave time
6:11 Yes that is true BUT the problem is that OpenRCT2 is using RCT2 rides instead of RCT1 rides for RCT1 scenarios which is really really annoying to me. There is NO setting from which RCT you want to use rides. For me is really jarring to see RCT2 stuff in RCT 1 scenarios.
Later on the video I say that nowadays they do have the RCT1 ride types.
I'm trying this strategy OpenRCT in the Magic Mountain scenario and when I sell the rides my park value drops below $700k. Why is this?
great video! i love your presentation, although every time i watch these the videos the background music becomes a little less canny.
Marcel is going after Summoning Salt I see...
OpenRCT2 really should be classified as its own game for the purpose of speedrunning. There are too many changes from the original.
It is already a seperate category.
I suddenly realize I need s Marcel Vos for OpenTTD...
Yay and on my birthday today! 🎉
Thats what she said.
I watched this video on 2x speed for maximum gains
RCT speedrunning gogogogogogogogogo
Technically the fastest would be using a tool assisted method to press the ''win scenario'' button.
How fast can you commit a war crime in RCT2?
Crazy
Can you make a park completely underground?
gotta go fast
I never liked these speedruns because it misses the challenge of keeping your stats up. when I wasn't that good in rct it was more challenging to keep the numbers up for the long period time
I think that "last input" timing like TASes do is probably the fix for this
13:05 - 13:22 Aren't hardware hacks cheating in some speedrun communitys? It's like using a Software Macro from to click 50 times in 0.01 seconds.
It depends on the community. In marcels case, having a mouse that makes crolling easier is like how in melee people have controllers with custom notches and melee allows that

This will cause people to abuse the pause button to no end and that makes for very slow and boring runs.
@@MarcelVos well it removes the randomness of PC specs and you're not limited to cursor speed or hotkeys, so strategy wins not dexterity or hardware.
Just wondering, looks like Marcel doesn’t do RCT3?
Curious why this is?
It generally lacks the charm of the first two games and people don't like how they changed mechanics
