Holy poo poo, after 200 straight runs of the most horrible loving luck, Werster is finally going for Sub 4 Hours on Fire Red. His initial luck was a bit bad, but he just beat Koga and is :siren:9 minutes ahead:siren:.

And just last night he was bummed that his 2:00:46 didn't get recorded with his internet out. :psyduck: Twitch didn't save the first part of the video apparently, but the important part's on the highlight, namely the last hour and a half and everything after the atlas glitch. Swiping the last boss for 1000-2000 a pop is quite a sight. He doesn't even use spells or call beads on the final boss rush anymore looks like.

Don't count on a new WR this early. He's using a faster route than his old record, but it's also riskier. He's been this far ahead a whole lot, he's just never finished a run.

His Zapdos has ballin' stats this time around, so of all the runs he's almost completed, this should be the almostest.

Werster's response to questions going from "Why the gently caress are you asking me this sort of retarded poo poo you dickmongering assmonkey" to "Well you see, how it works is that the game (detailed explanation here)" depending on the status of his given run is always hilarious.

It may turn away some, but I find his attitude amusing since he acts exactly like what I would imagine Gary Oak to be like as a speedrunner, while demonstrating at times that he quite clearly knows his poo poo and then some. These runs take a while to build up, but the gym leaders and elite 4 are always exciting to watch with all the crazy hail mary strats he has to rely on, hence aforementioned 5hp remaining from a critical flamethrower being "not very effective". :psyduck. Also Hypedos's thunder missing nearly killing him even against a stage 2 Dragonair.

Edit: Also as mentioned in chat by Duckfist and Tompa, shortly after he finishes this run, The Sunday Sequence Break stream will be going live with this week's game being Fire Red & Leaf Green with werster and MexiricanBassMonkey.

I can't remember what the view count was during agdq, but I think 2400 or 2600 viewers at the start of this is a record high viewer count.

I'm going to have to watch the recording of that. I was watching it on my laptop with no sound, so I'm curious to see how Werster was reacting.

Edit: I also hope he does an audio commentary on the run. The other two runs he has with commentary are really interesting.

Eerily calm, by his standards. I was waiting for him to flip out, but I think he was too nervous to rage.

So after TSSB, they linked this stream of a japanese player running through Super Mario World, using a program that reads out nico comments, even not knowing japanese this is pretty funny with people on their nico accounts trying to make it say "Fraynkah zee".

I believe it's a feature of nicovideo that you can get your comments read using the Miku voice. I think the best part of TSSB was getting a record from SANFORD_KELLY

Just gonna throw it out there that, no matter who's in the wrong here, speedrunning drama is stupid and folks need to stop hamming it up like they're still in high school (well, I guess some of them probably are, but still).

Anyway, moving on to the topic of People Playing Games Fast, a runner named Ryxos has been putting time into Paper Mario Sticker Star and it's a pretty fun watch: http://www.twitch.tv/ryxos/new

Paper Mario: Sticker Star, from my experience, is probably infinitely more fun to speedrun than it is to play normally.

A bunch of SDA members are doing a thing where they play another person's speedrun game(s) on stream. It's apparently Romscout's 3000 follower special, even though he has 6,400 at this point, because he never figured out an idea before or something. Romscout just finished Illusion of Gaia (puwexil's game) in a healthy 7 hours, 25ish minutes. Here's the general schedule for the rest of it: http://forum.speeddemosarchive.com/post/joint_3000_follower_stream_the_great_game_swap.html
