I was actually blown away at all the tricks he did and wanted to get into speedrunning Spyro again immediately.”įrom there Dest pick up Ripto’s Rage and hit the ground, well, running. “Way later on, I found Games Done Quick over on YouTube around late-ish 2013, which led to finding a Spyro 2 100% speedrun done at Summer Games Done Quick 2013, ran by spudlyman.
Like many runners, watching runners online led to watching Games Done Quick. I think he was the only speedrunner I was really interested in watching at the time.” “Around 2012, I got into watching speedruns on Twitch, namely siglemic when he was running Super Mario 64. There were more let's players of Spyro trying to speedrun it at that time than there were actual speedrunners, so there wasn't the community for it like there is today.” “I tried getting into speedrunning Spyro around 2011, but gave up on that dream quickly, because I didn't have a good computer for screen recording anything at the time. We first went into what brought him into speedrunning the game.
In his speedrunning resume, Dest has admirable records on the SpeedRun leaderboards for the game, including the current first place for a 100% run. We caught up to AlexDest, who is an expert on Ripto's Rage to say the least. While the runner we’ll be interviewing is fairly high on that leaderboard, we’ll be focusing on his 100% run because it’s more robust. Arguably one of the best games in the trilogy, Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage! as an Any% run ( as indicated over on ) is incredibly quick, coming in well under ten minutes by utilizing out of bounds skips to get to each boss. In the wake of Spyro coming back to modern consoles in a big way, we thought it was a great time to talk to some Spyro speedrunners to see how the classic trilogy translates to playing quickly.
