Seeding is essential - is this contest even possible on consoles?

Just keep resetting your world over and over and over again until you finally get the correct seed. If you dedicate 8 hours a day to resetting you might be able to get one attempt before the contest ends.

this is actually impossible because consoles generate smaller worlds so you'll never get the same world no matter what

so far I've been seeing some genuinely awesome submissions from different players, I can't wait to see who wins in the end 

I wanna especially contragulate @Mr Giggio for how much effort he's put into it so far, he was grinding all day and got some amazing runs

I am awful at speedrunning since naturally i play slow, but i wonder if merm spam from the swamp could be a top method.

(Maxwell would probably be quicker anyway and need much less rng)

I wouldn't call it top but it's definitely doable!

One of the seeds (D) lets you get to Dragonfly with 12 merms in about 4 minutes. There might be a faster route, that's just the first one I tried.

I know merms are useless without walls because they run into lava but i do wonder if it could work.

I don't have high hopes wurt can take any records with her whopping 0% use rate in the speedrun.com leaderboards, but in just 3 days of the tournament I've already been pleasantly surprised by how viable so many characters are so who knows

I've updated the original post to include all the info that was in the discord server (including rules, submission form and seeds) to allow people to participate without having a discord account

Runs must be performed in the current live patch.

Just in case the beta drops sometimes soon, a friendly reminder to everyone that this rule exists and that the beta branch isn't the current live patch:)
