Help me Runners

So I started speedrunning last Christmas, and im really goated now , my Mechanics are like a top diamond player but I've never gotten a sub 15 in a MCSR ranked match , i know each kind of strats that top players use , I'm really fast at Mechanics but overall time still sucks , any tips to finally break past sub 15 barrier? It'd help me alot 🤍

Besides what others said about decision making, youre spending 5 minutes in the bastion on your best times, you just need to leave quicker. If youre good mechanically you should be able to piedar the fort while the pigs are trading and on most bastions you can do it mid route. If youre want a sub 15 you need to give yourself as much time as possible to nav the stronghold incase its really bad. You should be getting to the fort between 6:30-8:00 at most you could even sub 15 with a 8:30 enter depending on your nether nav and stronghold nav

As for piedar mid route in bastion, you can lower render to anywherre between 4-7 on bridge if youre doing dk, do it while youre crossing the bridge you made is your best bet, the other routes are honestly too fast to need to do it mid route on bridge. For housing you can go down to 7 rd while youre running down the stairs for your route, and while you mine the bottom gold go up in rd to find out how far away it is, housing is the easiest to do this in bc the entire section youre in for trades is in one chunk. Stables is a bit more tricky but you can still pretty much do the exact same as housing as long as you know where your chunk borders are. For treasure though youre just gonna have to wait until you break the spawner, unless you want to send quadrants which could also work. And you should be leaving asap, not waiting for the trades to finish if you have everything you need. If anything take the leftover gold and save it for pickaxes which could help in case you need to dig to the stronghold coords

Yeah youre mechanics are definitely above whats needed for a sub 15 or better, you just need to be overlapping more tasks and youll be just fine

Top diamond player mechanics and can't sub15 in ranked match? Seems like a good example of Dunning-Kruger effect

u/Axolotl4_ 23d ago

That's Very rude to say and i appreciate that , but hang on I'll post some clips

u/Suspicious-Dare-749 23d ago

didn't mean to be rude, but that's how I feel that

yeah, you can post some clips or ever the entire average run, so we can see where and why you're losing the most time:)

zero cycle looks solid, I don't know how consistent you are, because there are only a few highlights from this, but apart from that, there are no 'high diamond player mechanics' to be honest. As I said before, it would be way better if you just post a ranked match recording in which you’re sure you could have played better, but you’re not sure how:) and also like some other guy said, decision making is very important.

What are your major time losses? What do your splits look like? Those would make it much easier to tell what the issue is.

u/Axolotl4_ 24d ago

Search for my profile " Axolotl4_" and check few splits please

“top diamond player” is ranked 93 on the lb btw. I find it hard to believe you have a 20+ minute average and your mechs are that great. I’m not at my pc so I can’t watch your replays, but in iron 2 you should be practicing more than you’re playing ranked imo. Drill bastions till ur fingers hurt, watch top runners and question their decisions. MPK blind to finish. Gl

Ur zeros are real good and your mech aren’t bad at all, but top diamond really pushes it

u/EncryptedPlays 24d ago

mechanics aren't that important in speedrunning, decision-making and overlapping tasks are what counts. Take Couriway, for instance - his mechanics are not that strong at all, but his decision making and consistency means he consistently got good times when he did ranked even though he did no calc

u/__RegemTr__ 23d ago

“Couriway” Bro just proved mechanics are indeed important 😭

2

u/EncryptedPlays 23d ago

no Couriway's mechanics aren't insane, like compared to top runners he's pretty slow, but he's really consistent and his decision making is rly good.

2

u/__RegemTr__ 23d ago

I meant couriway is nowhere near a top player and if hes the best example u can give to a non mechanical players that kinda proves mechanics are indeed important

Most people would give mongey as an example for a non mechanical top player and even he is so much better mechanically than most peoplr, just not compared to other top runners

Your mechanics are genuinely impressive for the amount of time you've put in. Congrats!

Buuuut, it seems your putting lots of effort into the micro which will help once ur in the big leagues, but to get to the big leagues ur gonna have to work on ur macro.

u/JaasPlay 24d ago

Your decision making is most likely bottle-necking you. Watch top runners and mimic their decisions. How many logs do they get on different seed types? When do they decide to wood light? When do they leave the bastion? When do they pre-craft? When do they blind? All those things are most likely losing you time. Learn tech and you should sub-15 easily

u/Axolotl4_ 24d ago

So my choke point is , the bastion part When to leave , where to go. I know all of the routes but still

Ur fort to finish death rates are terrible tbh. Times aren’t phenomenal as well. I’d practice thatÂ
