Gold Solo Speedrun Hall of Fame (Under New Ownership)

Thank you! The best part of solos like these is knowing that it's not even one of the 5 fastest for this character. If you're not sub 20 you're lucky to make the list. Thus, the grind continues...

What's funny is the time to shave is there. Problem I run into is when am I ever gonna get 3x pizza again? 

Do you use a console command to pause the game?

theres a console pause command ? !!
I guess posting run using it wld be unfair but for one alt tab here and there out of a speedrun ...

You are Fabulous, Felicia!

The first Gold solo in 10.000 attempts without targets or devices.

Cerberus are faster, but I've soloed them so many times on Platinum that I want to avoid them on Gold.

Same thing as my previous one here, launched a U/U/G and no one joined.
Well, to be exact, someone did join for a few seconds and left right after. He didn't move from spawn, or at all for that matter, didn't get attacked and the impact it had on the game is virtually inexistant (apart from the fact that it distracted me).

I think it should still qualify as a solo but I'll let the person in charge be the judge of that. The player joined at 33:03 and left at 33:16 so you can check for yourself.

This run was made soon after I had a similar experience (no one joining my lobby), so I came prepared and recorded from the beginning. Was a bit (a lot) angry with my objectives and thought I was doomed when the wave 10 devices came in after an already highly stressful wave 6 targets. For good reasons, you can see how close it got at 40:54 and how ridiculously lucky I got when the one true God decided to intervene in my favour to correct the unjust treatment that the RNG God has been putting me through lately, I wasn't even touched !

Anyway, it feels darn good to pull off a flawless against this merry bunch, also, if you don't approve of this as a solo I might have to sue you irl.

I've accepted runs in the past that had brief ninja joins so for the sake of consistency I'll allow it. 

Thread updated, names added to lists.

Here's some stuff if anyone is interested:

Fat Turian Sentinel

16:54 | Crusader | Glacier | Cerberus | PC | TheTechnoTurian

This was my first full game in a month, so obviously I chose the turian to ease myself back in . These other three things are from ages ago.

Paladin Sentinel

16:39 | Arc Pistol | Glacier | Geth | PC | TheTechnoTurian

Asari Valkyrie

15:48 | Venom | Glacier | Cerberus | PC | TheTechnoTurian

forgot to mod objectives for this one, wasted tons of time on two area hacks. But I haven't been playing lately so can't be bothered to redo it.

Demolisher

18:06 | Crusader | White | Geth | PC | TheTechnoTurian

I hesitate to post this here, because it's not really a speedrun, and it's not in video format, but it is a 10WS with a kit I rarely use, and there seems to be a "screenshot" section for 10WS on pres' site; in any case, here it goes:

Alliance Infiltrator Unit (10WS)

38:14 | Crusader | White | Collector | PC | HamleticTortoise


I am coming around to playing kits I rarely do, and honestly I find the AIU too strong for pugs on gold, so I went for a solo. This is the first time I give her the Crusader, and honestly now I don't even understand why people would prefer the Reegar (outside of Glacier, I guess) to this setup. I used only one nuke outside of objective waves; I also spent forever mopping up wave 10, because I was terrified of blowing myself up with a possessed abomination for the record, I also got devices on wave 6, which slowed me down further.
Whether or not this run is actually valid for enshrinment, I would love to see how fast this setup could be in the hands of a more accomplished speedrunner!

My first attempt at a real honest-to-God no holds barred Gold Solo Speedrun was uh...

Asari Justicar

24:55 | Piranha | Glacier | Collector | PC | anarchoturianist

...Uh, I don't think it qualifies and I don't seem to be ready for the big leagues yet, but I wanted to post it anyway.
