The problem is that SMB is based around incredibly tight and precise inputs over incredibly narrow platforms (plus getting no continues in order to make it to the Master Levels). This game looks neat but it has checkpoints, gem-collecting and no lives system, so there's no intensity to it aside from the threat of a little lost time.

At least it's only 45 minutes. I can put up with anything after 2 hours of diddy kong.

I forget if it was AGDQ or SGDQ, but Toufool's run last year was fun because the crowd of attendees were keeping the energy up for about the first three quarters of the run.

That was AGDQ and yeah, the real problem with the race this year was a lack of excitement or participation.

Ars Technica did an interview with the organizer of the TASbot team.

DwangoAC posted:

When Masterjun later took p4plus2's standalone .smc ROM file of SMB on an SNES and ported it to execute inside of SMW, he initially did not include the SPC initialization to write the audio data, [which] thus pointed to whatever SMW left there ... The result was extremely surprising — nearly every single sound effect from SMW matched up to SMB perfectly, with some minor exceptions such as the flagpole. ... it's possible to run SMB on SNES standalone, but we did discover by pure chance that the SMW developers apparently re-used the same general [sound] mappings from SMB.

Time starts when the first cheek makes contact and stops when he falls asleep.


one of the PC runs in bonus stream last year I watched on the couch via the nice 46 incher they had set up as a monitor clone. They wouldn't let me play any games on the other TVs there though :(

team rose is in fact the greatest, but really though I would be inclined to support it because Big the cat can do some wacky poo poo and its pretty incredible. Team Sonic and Dark are pretty vanilla iirc but Chaotix was interesting enough in the base game that a speedrun of it might be cool but I've never seen it.

I always wonder how runners decide what they're going to wear on stream. Dress up too much you're a tool. Dress down and you're a slob. I would agonize for hours. Best to go with an open button-up w/t-shirt combo I guess.

What I'm trying to say is avoid purple hoodies

there are like 4 or 5 pinball tables set up on freeplay at the event and this guy has a stream up of one of them, rotating daily.


the random conversations you get to eavesdrop on are the best I watched Werster talk to him about version differences and poo poo for like half an hour earlier.

I think the people are just super quiet. Announcer is easy enough to hear.
